Dog Walkers in Drums Crossroads, NC

About: I have always grown up with dogs and have loved having them in my life. I just moved to the area and adopted a dog myself. I’d love to love on your dogs and give them all the care they need and deserve! I work an 8-5 job Monday through Friday but am remote 2 days a week, off on the weekends, and am free after work. The weekends is when I am the most available, so if your pet needs some extra love I can be there longer on weekends! However, if you just need someone to walk your pup or do a quick check in, I can be there any day. Within your home, I can take care of your pup however you need! Provide me with your pups specific needs and personality and I can tailor my care to them. Perhaps they like more snuggles or more outside play time. We can work together to ensure your pup receives the best care possible. Within my house, I have lots of toys and puzzles which I like to use to make sure the dog is being active both physically and mentally. I love taking my dog on walks or to the dog park to get some social time.

About: It has been a dream of mine to be a veterinarian since I was a little girl, so pet sitting has given me more opportunities to take care of animals of kinds. I've pet sat for friends and family and absolutely love it. I've made close connections with the animals I've sat for and love them like my own. I currently work at a vet office and enjoy seeing the new patients every day! I hope to be a very special person in your fur babies lives. I'm currently a full-time online college student and am a full-time worker as a veterinary assistant. If needed, contact me and we can discuss times and dates to work around both schedules. Because I pet sit and house sit, I play with the animals and cuddle them like they are my own. I stay on their feeding schedule and let them out while I'm there as well. I make sure to keep the owners posted while they are away of any emergencies that may occur. Before owners come home, I'll make sure to wash any linens that were used, wash any dishes that are in the sink, and make sure to sweep up anything that needs to be swept up. I'll take the trash out and will clean the toys up as well. Before I leave the home, I like to leave a note thanking the owner for allowing me to stay in their home and assuring them all that was taken care of as well.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and truly love caring for animals. I have experience with both dogs and cats and provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet. Also a breeder, I have lots of experience with puppies. Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule and lots of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet like family. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or extra attention, I’m here to help and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away! 🐾 Currently we are waiting for our fence to be installed, I’ll keep you updated on when it will be done. Your fur babies are my main focus, We will gladly follow special instructions/ schedules per request for each fur friend, lots of walks, play and lots of attention.

About: My family jokes that I was raised by animals. 🤣 I have had pets since I was born, and considered them my best friends. I have had jobs in dog grooming, some experience in training, volunteered at my local SPCA & even became a full time artist selling commissioned pet portraits! Everything about furry animals & waggy tails brings me immense joy and happiness. Animals calm my soul. Today, I have 3 of the most spoiled doggo’s out there. I narrate their thoughts, talk to them like they’re babies, and they are even insta-famous! I work hard so my dogs can have a better life. I have experience in housecleaning so I regularly entered people’s homes. Rest assured, I’ll leave your house the way I found it (maybe better if I see an animal mess that needs tending to). I’ll treat your home like my own. I have responsibilities Tuesday- Friday from noon- 1:00, however I’m available before or after. Ideally, I am looking for regular clients that consistently need someone to hang out with their fur babies. I would meet you and your fur baby, and get a lay of the land. If you need me to feed them, water them, give treats, I would just need to know where to access them. For cats, if you need me to clean the litter box, I would just need to know where the bags, & scooper are. Also where you’d like the waste disposed.

About: Hey there. I am 30 years old and a graduate from UNC Charlotte. I currently work from home 2-3 days a week . I recently bought a home in Denver, NC and am hoping to pick back up some side gigs! Please don't hesitate to ask me anything pertaining to your needs. Thank you! Because I am working from home, I can take your pet on daily walks and provide pictures to you whenever you request. Daily walks are included in my rate! I have a very large fenced in yard and because I am working from home I can tend to all your dogs needs no matter the time of day. Also have plenty of room for a crate if your dog requires one.

“I always love when Elizabeth walks my pups! She sends wonderful pics and is always super kind and responsive. Will definitely be booking in the future!”

About: My mom got me my first dog when I was 10 years old, and it was from then on that I promised to take care of him the best way I knew how. I have experience administering medication (in pill form, liquid, and gel) to both dogs and cats, even when they don’t want to take it. I have also personally trained my dog to sit, lie down, high five, and on accident, I taught him to get up on his hind legs and beg with his front paws. If there is any special care that your animal needs, I would be more than happy to quickly and efficiently learn and adapt to care for your animal the way they deserve. I am currently job searching, so I will be free almost every weekday with exception for surprise obligations that my family often come to me with. I am not available on the weekends, including friday for various extraneous responsibilities. When I first meet an animal, I get down to their level and extend my hand just enough to offer it as an option for them to investigate, but not enough to shove it it their face. I wait until the dog or cat engages with me before I try to pet them on my own to ensure that they feel comfortable and safe. If your animal has separation anxiety, I would be more than happy to comfort them with calming words and gentle hands for pets and snuggles. I will only feed or give your animal a treat if I am told to do so or given the okay beforehand as I do not want to over feed them or give them a treat you have bought without consent.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since middle school, but also am happy to help with pet related clean up such as washing bowls, vacuuming, deep cleaning litter boxes, and nail care! I do have pet carriers for cats, small to medium size dogs, and a car seat cover for large dogs so can transport your animals to appointments as needed as well as go on drives if your furry friend enjoys getting out! I’m in college online so I have plenty of flexibility to work around any schedule needed. Can do short drop ins, or longer visits to keep pets company and clean up. I can do any in home care, I have animals myself so would not be open to bringing pets to my home- but can stay as long as needed elsewhere! **Please note for house sitting I will stay frequently and for daytime majority but overnight stays are dependent on safety of booking!

“Keith did an awesome job with my fur baby!! She was so excited to see him each day he came to walk her. I booked Keith for a week to walk my fur baby, and he was consistent and reliable each day. I will definitely book again with him.”

About: I grew up surrounded by animals and have cared for dogs, cats, and even bunnies throughout my life. I worked with dogs with all types of personalities at a dog daycare.
