Dog Walkers in Etowah, NC

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands on experience caring for pets. Growing up, I regularly dog sat for family and friends, and I also volunteered at my local animal shelter, where I gained experience working with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry babies. My husband and I share our home with our sweet senior hound, Georgia, and our spunky cat, Loretta, so I am comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I’m also an avid plant lover with many plant pets of my own. I’m happy to water plants and keep things tidy while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and reassuring presence, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! I look forward to meeting you and your pets:) I currently provide pet care full time, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for your pets. My schedule allows me to be available for walks, drop in visits, and consistent routines that help pets feel comfortable and secure. Because this is my primary focus, i’m also able to accommodate last minute request when available. When caring for pets in your home, I will treat your space with the same respect and care I would my own. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and communication throughout my visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is to create a safe, positive experience for both you and your furry family members.

About: I have always had a dog, and currently have a super sweet and high energy vizsla/pit bull mix. She loves to run and so do I. I've spent years volunteering at the Humane Society walking dogs, and have done several adoption events with Mountain Pet Rescue. I work from home and am flexible with my availability. I am usually available on short notice if necessary and can check on your pet any day of the week. I am happy to follow whatever routine your pet is used to. I understand how important schedules are for some pets and will make sure they are kept on the schedule that they are familiar with. We can go for walks, play in the yard, or work on commands inside the home if it's raining and they need mental stimulation. Or we can cuddle up on the couch if that's their vibe.

“I am so glad we found Ashlee. She arrived on time and immediately connected in a lovely way with my pup, Murphy. I was able to accomplish my errands with my mind completely at ease. Ashlee is kind friendly capable and experienced. I highly recommend her services.”

“Lacie was such a blessing! We were on vacation for a week and couldn't take our spoiled pups with us. We did have a family member housesitting for us, but they were gone most of the day for work so we had Lacie stop by to check on them and let them out every other day. She went above and beyond! She showed up on days we couldn't originally afford or schedule, just because she truly cares. She also helped with cleaning up the dog area and other little things that we didn't ask for. She kept in touch and provided updates and made us feel at ease. I know the dogs are very grateful that we found her! Most definitley would use her again for anything!”

“Jennifer has been great with my more than picky and borderline difficult pup Yama. She has been reliable and punctual and even reminds me to schedule our weekly walks so she and Yama can get comfortable together. Thanks so much for being so good with Yama and being willing to work with us!”

About: Greetings! When I was two I picked out my first puppy and have cared for, trained, and loved dogs ever since. My son and I have two dogs ourselves and love to stay active-walks in the woods, runs in the neighborhood, or hikes up the mountain. I would love to offer that life to dogs whose owners may not have time to offer it to them themselves. I am a very responsible, gentle, yet stern handler who loves to see dogs thrive. Whether this is by implementing leash training, food rewards or consistant scratches to the ears, I am always engaged with your dog to know what he/she needs to have a safe and fun time. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I am currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and my son will love the new animals he will get to meet. I am highly attentive and responsible both with your home and with your beloved animals. I stick to the schedule and try to keep the animals as comfortable as possible while you’re away.

About: I’ve cared for animals since I was about 10 years old. I’ve helped train puppies from a young age, and nursed kittens from 3-weeks old. More recently I’ve helped nurse and rehabilitate my senior dog after her major ACL surgery. She was sling bound for 6 weeks so I feel very comfortable with a large range of ages, and needs in cats and dogs. I have a huge love for all animals and believe all of them deserve love and care just like humans! I’m also here because my lovely fiancé and I just got engaged this past summer. I’m hoping to save up and earn as much money as I can to help host our dream wedding here in the mountains next year! We both love our babies and I would be happy to give your fur babies that same love and support ☺️ UPDATE: Sadly I can no longer provide overnight sittings. I AM available to do a sitting that does not require me to stay at your home overnight. I understand if this prevents you from hiring me for a sitting. I currently work remote full-time but do have some flexibility in my schedule to fit in drop-ins and walks. Wednesdays are usually when I have the most calls, but of course can try and work around my and your schedule. I’m happy to come to your home to give you that reassurance that your fur baby is doing okay while you’re away. As I said, I work fully remote so my pets pretty much have constant care unless I’m traveling for work. I typically let my dog out about 3-4 times a day depending on her needs, so I’m happy to do the same for your dog. She gets fed twice a day, as well as my cat. Every now and then we will switch out dry food for wet food just to give them both some variety, so I’m happy to do the same for your pet. You and your pet’s comfortability are my priority so I’m happy to cater to your preferences.

About: I have grown up around animals all my life and I love being a pet parent. I enjoy fostering needy animals, especially seniors. I also work at the Humane Society and I am pursuing my degree in Veterinary Technology. I currently work part time at the Asheville Humane Society. Working part time allows me plenty of time to drop in and care for your babies. I have experience working with animals and will show them all the love and affection as if they were my own babies. I will help them feel comfortable while their humans are away. I have experience working with all different types of animals and I love to help them come out of their shell.
