Dog Walking Drums Crossroads

About: I grew up with dogs all my life. I have 6 labrador retrievers and have experience in breeding, training, and caring for puppies. I am also experienced in providing special needs care including meds, shots, and injury care. My schedule is very flexible. I am currently available throughout the day. I am also currently a student at Appalachian State University and have the free time to provide care for your pets. I always try my best to accommodate pets' routines. I like to make sure that both cats and dogs are comfortable, happy, and safe in the client's home while I am providing care.

“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: I have ten years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower, gentle approach. I'm confident in dealing with a variety of both in house and on leash behaviors to keep the boarding experience as safe as it is fun. I focus on keeping dogs both mentally and physically engaged, helping prevent boredom and anxiety in new environments. Maintaining your pets daily routine is a high priority to keep them comfortable and safe. There is also an on site dog expert and who excels in easily picking up every detail to keep your pet happy and healthy. I keep a clean and organized environment to keep your pup out of anything they shouldn't be in. I also prioritize staying on top of messes to ensure your pets safety. I am home most of the day and can provide consistent, adequate supervision and care. I am only out of the house briefly from 7 AM to 11 AM; otherwise I am available to give your pets the love and care they deserve. My schedule allows me to maintain your pets routine and ensure they are not left alone for too long. I provide a safe, clean, and structured enviroment for every pet entrusted to my care. In my home, I keep spaces tidy, pet-proofed, and monitered to ensure your dogs safety. I am attentive to each pets needs, routines, and boundaries. I take great care to minimize stress and make sure your pup has an amazing time. When caring for pets in a cilents home, I respect your space and am sure to follow instructions closely. I prioritize safety at all times including proper leash handling, secure doors/gates, and constant awareness during walks and visits.

“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: 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: Since I can remember, my family always had pets and we loved rescuing and caring for animals. The most pets I’ve had at once was 3 dogs, 2 cats, and 3 turtles in my household and I loved it. Now my partner and I have 1 dog and 2 cats and we love our furry babies 💛 My husband and I are always available full time for your pet sitter needs for boarding or just watching your fur babies for a few hours. We have a large yard with plenty of space to run and do their business. We have 1 dog and 2 cats who love friends and company. My dog is trained and loves to have fun! I have crates and plenty of rooms if needed.

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, currently an active volunteer for Angels To The Animals & 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! They have their own bedroom, closet, dresser, mountains of toys, and an abundance of clothes/accessories. I truly do 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: Hi! I’m Emily, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own. Whether you need drop-in visits, dog walking, or overnight pet sitting, my goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. During visits, I’m happy to provide fresh food and water, administer basic medications if needed, take dogs on walks, play with them, give plenty of affection, clean up after them, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I’ve spent years caring for dogs and other pets for family, friends, and neighbors, and I’ve always had a love for animals. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know them and provide care that’s tailored to their individual needs. Whether your pet is energetic and loves long walks or prefers quiet cuddles on the couch, I’m committed to making them feel happy and comfortable. I’m currently a full-time student at UNC Charlotte, but my schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week, on weekends, and during many holidays and school breaks. I’m organized, responsible, and quick to communicate, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I strive to provide reliable, compassionate care so you can travel or work with confidence, knowing your pet is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! I am currently a student at UNC Charlotte but I have a flexible schedule. I would love to work with you to set a weekly schedule for walking your pup! Or even work with you to on deciding a walking/feeding schedule whenever you take a vacation! While I am not able to care for your pup in my own home, I understand the importance of respecting your space and ensuring that your pup is happy and healthy!

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: With an extensive animal care and sitting background, I bring thoughtful service to all my clients. If you're looking for someone responsible and loving with high energy pets, elderly pets who may need medication, or anything in between, look no further. I'm also happy to take on plant care, aquarium maintenance, bringing in mail, etc. I'm pleased to offer drop in visits where possible as well as home stays. I book meet and greets with clients to find out all the details, and encourage open communication. If you have any questions or would like to set up a meeting, please don't hesitate to send me a message. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I generally have a pretty flexible schedule! We will set up expectations for your pet care and staying in touch in advance of each sit. :) I am big on photos, updates, and good communication in general. It is common to hear from me every day, with a multitude of photos.

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.

“It was a pleasure to have John care for my Havanese. I really appreciate the time John spent with him and the communication each visit.”

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!
