Dog Walking Dillard Crossroads

About: Hi! Thank you for visiting my profile! A Little About Me I’m currently a stay-at-home mom who chose not to return to a full-time marketing position. My love for animals, coupled with the importance of staying active, led me to Rover—and I couldn’t be happier to be doing something I truly enjoy! I live in northern Woodruff, so I consider this area along with those around it my specialty. Woodruff’s country roads make for peaceful, enjoyable drives, and I have several clients who live just minutes from my home. That’s an added bonus if you ever need me to check in on your pet outside of their scheduled visits—or even keep an eye on your home while you’re away. (People tend to forget to turn things off before they leave!) I especially enjoy the gentleness of kitties, particularly the playful ones, and I love going on long walks with dogs. I’m extremely cautious and attentive with my clients’ fur babies and care for them as I would my own. I also enjoy working on basic leash manners. With time, patience, and practice, I’ve found that even a dog who is all over the place can become a steadier, more confident, well-mannered companion. I believe in treat-based training and positive reinforcement as the key to building trust, respect, and a strong bond. I’ve raised dogs and cats all of my adult life. I grew up in a home that always had at least four cats, so animals have always been a big part of my life. From kittens and puppies to Pekingese, Pugs, and 95-pound Boxers—you name it, and I’ve probably raised it! I’m an active person who loves being out and about, especially when it involves a walk. While you’re away, I can help with whatever your pet needs. Whether you need help with puppy training, a long walk, a play session, or simply a house check while you’re at work, I’ll make sure your pet’s needs are met and that they receive plenty of attention and companionship. Aside from animals, I love gardening, painting, and decorating my home, so I always have plenty of projects to keep me busy. I have a wonderful husband and a 7-year-old who fills my weekends with joy! I’m also happy to help with simple house-sitting tasks while you’re away, such as watering plants or keeping an eye on things. I don’t charge an extra fee for these little things. You can consider me your “house sitter” the next time you go away! I have a pet sitter I routinely call on myself, so I know firsthand what it feels like to come home from the airport and realize someone truly went the extra mile for your pets. That’s exactly the kind of care I want to provide for you and your fur babies. 🩷 I am available pretty much all day and into the evening hours. My days are routine and structured, so I would take the same approach with your pets. Unfortunately, I cannot sit overnight. Making sure your pets have their needs met is my first priority. This includes feeding, walking, and companionship to keep them happy when you’re not around.

About: Hi! i did private boarding for 14 years but only want to keep 1 or 2 from same family at a time since I'm retired. Guests are only crated when I am away from home. Recently retired and home 24/7. I have a super flexible schedule to allow for plenty of play time and walks around my farm. Must be cat friendly as I also work with cat rescue organizations and have 2 inside cats of my own. I have a super large, fenced yard with two 7 year old Border Collies who get along with everyone and everything. In addition, I have a large screened porch for an additional space. I love walks and can take yours, too, for no additional charge.

“Since we just relocated from Florida, we were a bit lost trying to find a pet sitter for our morkie. Since only friends and family watched him, we were a very nervous. Mikayla was wonderful and took great care of our little guy. We will continue to use Mikayla.”

About: I have experience in dog training with all ages and sizes. I also have experience with horses and exotic animals. I have been pet sitting since high school and have a lot of experience with dog behavior. I’m a stay at home dog mom so I’m always at home with my dog or out running errands! I do go out of town often so message me to confirm! I ensure safety and care as if it’s my own. I know how it feels to not have a sitter or know them. I can do walks, play time, and even just being there for comfort.

“Sara was available on such short notice and really saved the day! I was delayed getting home after a flat and knew my pooch might not make it until then. Easy to communicate with and got the job done!”

About: I used to work at daycare with all kinds of dogs and cats including seniors. I have a big passion for animals and know how to administer medication if needed. I’ve helped out family and friends with their pets including feeding, potty breaks, playing outside with them, etc. I used to work part-time at doggy daycare but now at Food Lion, so I can spend time with your furbabies. I’m also in school for vet tech but I make time for the babies always! For clients, I usually stick to schedule with their feeding, potty breaks, etc. I like to keep their food and water bowls clean every time to prevent them from being sick. I take them outside for potty breaks and play with for about 30-40 minutes unless it’s too hot or cold. I also like to keep the owner updated on how their pets are doing and send pictures.

About: Hi! I’m Sarah, lifelong dog lover, professional dog walker, and proud pup parent to Greylee, my sweet 7 year old black Lab and the absolute highlight of my life. Dogs have always been part of my world, and caring for them is second nature to me. What sets me apart is my experience with senior pups and newborn litters. I’ve spent years lovingly administering medication to elderly dogs with special health needs, ensuring they’re comfortable, safe, and thriving on every walk or visit. I’ve also had the joy and responsibility of helping deliver puppies and providing attentive aftercare for both mom and pups for up to four weeks, from warm snuggles to round the clock watchfulness. Whether your dog is full of zoomies or needs a gentle, patient hand, I’m here to walk with love, care, and the same devotion I give to my own. Every pup in my care is treated like family, because to me, they are. 💛 I’m available for walks and pet visits every Saturday through Monday, with just a couple of exceptions:     •    On Sunday mornings, I’m committed to church and available after 1 PM.     •    On Monday mornings, I take time for mental health and self-care, so I’m also available after 1 PM. Outside of those times, I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your dog’s needs, whether it’s a morning stroll, an afternoon potty break, or an evening cuddle visit. Just let me know what works for you, and I’ll show up with patience, love, and lots of tail wags! 🐾 When I care for pets in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I give to the animals themselves. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first, but I also understand that your home is a personal and trusted space. I make sure to:     •    Follow your home and pet care routines exactly as instructed     •    Clean up after myself and your pet (muddy paws, accidents, food, etc.)     •    Keep doors locked, alarms set, and your privacy protected     •    Never invite guests or cross personal boundaries, your home is yours alone I aim to bring a calm, respectful presence into your home so that your pet feels safe and happy, and you feel total peace of mind. You can trust that I’ll care for both your pet and your space with gentleness, reliability, and integrity.

“James arrived on time, communication is solid, is friendly, and professional.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds! I have experience with mediation management and administration and am comfortable caring for medically complex or senior pets :) I work full time but do work from home about 75% of the time at least so I am home most of the day to care for your pets! I have two friendly dogs and two dog-savvy cats who get along with everyone! I can easily crate or separate animals into separate spaces in my home if the need arises

About: I have had pets and cared for friends and family members pets for most of my life. As a personal trainer, I have not only human clients but also many furry friends who I interact with daily and have started caring for when my clients are away. In addition, I have a senior, reactive dog who requires special attention, training and lots of love. I work as an in home personal trainer but can create my own schedule and adjust for last minute requests. Weekends are also generally open for pet sitting. I would not be able to offer care at my home since my senior dog is happier solo however, I am very comfortable providing all needed care and adherence to a routine in a client’s home.

“Savanna did great! She was communicative, prompt, and easy to work with.”

About: I have worked with horses for many years, work with animals of all ages, and am going into the vet industry. I have lots of experience with many animals, and am willing to work with almost all temperaments. I am a full time student, but my schedule is quite flexible for the needs of your pet. I am up early in the morning, so early necessities are no problem. I can work with dogs of all ages and sizes, work with most temperaments, and can ensure the safety of your pets when they need care.

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, beginning with early exposure to veterinary clinics where I spent time shadowing and learning animal handling and care from a young age. This foundation grew into professional veterinary technician experience, where I worked with dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs, including senior pets, puppies, and animals requiring daily medications or specialized care. In addition to my veterinary background, I volunteered with a service dog organization where I raised and trained future guide dogs. This experience strengthened my skills in leash training, socialization, crate training, and positive reinforcement methods while working with high-expectation working dogs in real-world environments. I also actively continue dog training as a personal passion and have earned three AKC Trick Dog titles with my own dog. Because of this, I’m very comfortable working with energetic dogs, reinforcing basic obedience, and providing structured enrichment during walks and visits. I currently share my home with two dogs and a cat, so I understand day-to-day pet care, multi-pet dynamics, and the importance of consistency and routine. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is always to provide safe, reliable, and attentive care whether that means a structured walk, a drop-in visit, medication administration, or simply making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I structure my day around consistency and flexibility. I am able to accommodate morning, midday, and afternoon visits, as well as regular walking schedules and drop-in care throughout the week. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can prioritize pet care visits and ensure pets receive attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship on time. I’m used to building my day around routines, whether that’s scheduled walks, feeding times, or medication needs. I value clear communication and reliability, and I make it a priority to be punctual and consistent with every visit so pets feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and secure while their owners are away. I follow all instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific care needs. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets receive attention, fresh water, feeding if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and any required medication. I also take time to provide companionship and help pets feel calm and comfortable before leaving. For dog walking, I focus on safe, structured walks that match the dog’s energy level and needs. I pay close attention to leash manners, surroundings, and each dog’s comfort level to ensure a positive experience. I always treat each home with respect, keep things clean and organized, and provide updates so owners feel informed and confident while they are away.
