Dog Walking Cotton Center

“I love that Sarah is available for the various pet jobs I have asked her to do. She pet-sits and is a regular dog walker. She is reliable and on time. She stays for the entire time and doesn't rush to be done. I have large dogs (90lbs) and cats. She is comfortable with both.”

About: I have multiple years of experience pet sitting and boarding dogs and other animals. I also volunteer with an animal rescue, and my home is connected to our farm, giving me extensive hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re with me. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to care for your pet! I work full-time from home, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Because my schedule is flexible, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, maintain consistent feeding and potty schedules, and respond to their individual needs as they arise. Your pet will have regular companionship, supervision, and care rather than being left alone for long periods. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play, including a large house and a fenced yard for safe outdoor time. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided by owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I always listen closely to pet parents’ preferences and do my best to accommodate any specific care requests.

About: I grew up with a Lab, Goldendoodle, and Bichon Frisé and have volunteered at animal shelters, including Operation Kindness. As a med student living away from my own dog during clinical rotations, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I’d love to give your pup plenty of walks, playtime, and affection so they feel like they’re spending time with a friend, not just a sitter! I’m currently on clinical rotations, so my schedule varies from month to month, but I often have weekdays off! I plan my availability ahead of time and will always communicate clearly about the days and times I’m available. I’d love to use my days off to take your pup on walks and spend some quality time with them! I have a fenced yard and care for one mini goldendoodle who is 4 years old. I live in a new community and have a park and walkway for dogs

About: Hi! We’re a husband-and-wife team who absolutely love caring for animals. We both work from home, so your pets get plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. We live on a beautiful 4-acre farm with a fenced yard, giving dogs plenty of safe space to stretch their legs, play, and enjoy the outdoors. We also have a comfortable, climate controlled cabin just for the pets where they can relax, nap, and have their own cozy space when they need some downtime. Our goal is to make every pet feel like they’re on their own little vacation not just being boarded. We treat every animal like family and are happy to follow their normal routines, schedules, feeding instructions, medications, and individual needs. 4-acre property Their own comfy pet cabin Both of us work from home Lots of attention & companionship Plenty of room to play and explore 15 years of animal care experience Dog rescue and shelter experience Husband and wife care A safe, relaxed, home style environment We also run a dog rescue and have been actively involved with animal shelters for years. With 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and other animals, we understand how important patience, compassion, consistency, and individualized care are for every pet. We’d love to meet you and your pets and give them a fun, safe, and comfortable place to stay while you’re away! Pet care is a major part of our daily routine. My wife and I work from home, operate a professional boarding and K9 coaching business, and run a nonprofit dog rescue, so dogs are around us every day. Our routine includes scheduled feedings, walks, playtime, training, supervised outdoor time, crate/rest periods, medication when needed, and plenty of one-on-one attention. We keep a structured routine while also adjusting to each dog’s individual needs. Because we do this professionally, we’re used to managing multiple dogs while making sure each one gets the attention, supervision, and care they need. Our goal is for every dog staying with us to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while they’re away from home. I focus on providing a safe, calm, and structured environment whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I follow all care instructions closely, maintain clean and secure spaces, and always prioritize a pet’s comfort and routine. I’m experienced with crate use when requested, proper leash handling, and monitoring behavior to ensure pets remain safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times.

About: Hi! 🥰 My name is Rachael! I am a very energetic, patient, and creative person who lives to love and be around animals. Dogs are my favorite animal! I have cared for animals for 13 years. I’ve grown up around many other animals as well and cared for them. Such as cats, fish, and some reptiles. I do offer to bathe your babies if needed. With me, your children will receive appropriate care. Personally, I'm an organizer, planner, and multitasker, and always just a phone call away, face time is also available so minimum supervision is required. With all my skills and experience, I'm able to provide a supervised, safe, fun, and stable environment for your sweet babies!! I look forward to hearing from your families soon! 🐶🥰 I’m currently enrolled at James Madison High School. I do have a lot of free time right now until I reach my money savings goal to continue school. I’m not providing care for animals in my home right away but will provide care in my home as soon as possible for both cats & dogs.

About: i’ve been an animal lover for as long as i can remember ! i grew up in a home where we always had dogs, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. i have over 10 years of experience with dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets. i’m also a proud cat mom to my three babies, kiwi, cheese, and lydia! i’ve definitely become a bit of a crazy cat lady, but dogs will always have my heart too. i love my goofy, one of a kind mutts just as much as i appreciate the history and unique personalities of purebred animals. honestly, i just love them all! i’ve also been involved with smu’s campus cat community, helping feed community cats and participating in tnr efforts. my favorite part was finding mama cats and their tiny babies ! keeping up with all those feedings wasn’t always easy, but it was so rewarding . ♡ i’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, bathing, basic training reinforcement, litter box care, and administering medications as instructed . i hate making the babies uncomfortable during medicine time, but keeping them healthy always comes first ! i’m also really big on communication and respecting each family’s rules ! every household is different . some families don’t mind their cats jumping on counters, while others don’t want those habits forming, and i completely understand both\! just let me know your preferences, routines, and little house rules, and i’ll do my best to keep everything consistent while you’re away. i’ll also happily send pictures and updates so you know your babies are doing well! Schedule: I’m currently working part time and have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to care for cats throughout the day. I regularly help care for SMU’s feral cat community, so I’m used to feeding, socializing, and checking on cats at different times. I’m available for visits and drop ins most weekdays after 2 PM and weekends all day. I prioritize a safe, calm, and clean environment for every pet and always follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any specific care instructions. I make sure spaces are secure, remove hazards, and monitor pets for any changes in behavior. I currently have a puppy (a bichonpoo) and understand the importance of both love and structure. My motto is “life is too short let them sleep on the bed,” but I also believe discipline is key in shaping well behaved dogs. I’m happy to bring my puppy along for companionship if approved, but I always ask first since I respect that every pet and owner has different boundaries.

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats growing up! Friends and family have entrusted me to take care of their pets while out of town or taking their dogs on walks. I’m here to give you the assistance you need to make you and your pet pal happy!!😊 Im currently working full time M-F but work from home Friday so I have more availability! I am free on the weekends! I usually get off around 4-5 M-F but I’m willing to work earlier if I know in advance your pets feeding times :) For starters I would make sure (if possible) I’m able to meet your pet pal before so they can recognize me. I want to make sure we are both comfortable with eachother. I’d like to know the behavior of your pet as well! Some pets are more shy and reserved so it’s good to know that way I don’t startle your pet. I will make sure to clean out their water bowls so they can have a fresh water, groom if needed and make time to walk, play,and talk with with your pet pal! If there are any accidents(puppies are more likely to do this) I will be sure to clean up as if nothing ever happened. No one wants to come back to a trip with that type of surprise waiting on them😅I will also take your dog (or cat if that’s what he/she likes!) on walks!!
