Dog Walking Finklea

About: Growing up in the animal rescue and care world, I’ve looked after everything from horses to mice. Over the years, I’ve fostered, reconditioned, and rehomed abused and abandoned animals, helping them learn to trust again. I’m experienced in animal behavior across life stages, including neonatal and senior pets. My goal is to provide every animal I meet with as much love, guidance, and attentive care as they deserve. I live on a small homestead with my husband, a stay-at-home dad and disabled veteran, and our four children. I’m a self-employed Realtor and the owner of LABZ Pet and Farm Sitting LLC, so I have the flexibility to build my schedule around my clients’ needs. I’m currently attending Unity Environmental University, working toward my Bachelor of Science in Companion Animal Behavior. My program is fully online, which means I can bring my laptop with me and easily keep up with coursework during overnight stays or extended sits. I strictly follow the guidelines and routines you provide, because you know your pets best. When no specific instructions are given, I use a thoughtful, age-appropriate schedule for dogs and cats at different life stages. In general, I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and engaged: walking and playtime, refilling food and water according to your specifications, cleaning up any messes, and providing baths when needed. I can also pick up pet supplies or groceries upon request, so you come home to happy pets and a stress-free environment.

About: Altogether, I have 3 cats and 2 dogs under my roof! I have a German Shepherd mix, and two cats of my own. My grandfather who lives with me, has a dog of his own and she is blind. My cousin who lives with me, also has a a cat! I used to work at BARK! Pet resort. I used to handle a lot of dogs in all shapes and sizes in a small setting. I love working with dogs and cats. I would love to treat your furry best friend as one of my own. I am a stay at home mom! My two year loves dogs of all sizes! I’m free to give your furry best friend a lot of fun! I have a German Shepard mix of my own and two cats! One of my cats have a lot of energy and one of them has 6 toes per paw! I make sure that they are taken care of to the absolute best of my ability!

About: My whole worlds revolves around my 4 fur babies and I can assure you that yours will become family to me. I have taken care of dogs since my first puppy at 10 years old, but I also have experience with puppies only 1 day old to senior ages. I am currently dog mama to 4 beautiful samoyeds. I can cook for your pet, walk, play, bathe, go for pup cups, car rides, and snuggle until they can’t snuggle anymore. I am capable of doing basic leash training, can help assist with potty training, crate training, and basic commands. September 2025 I had my first litter of 8 Samoyed puppies and raised them until they were old enough to go to their forever homes. I can assure you that I can handle any obstacle I may come into contact with and will always make sure to keep you updated with lots of pictures and videos if that is your style! :) My whole goal is to ensure a safe, happy, healthy, and fun time with your furry friend. You can trust me. I am currently taking a step back from my full time job as a Registered Behavioral Technician and am available 7 days a week! In my free time I would love to be surrounded with your furry babies! I am available for any pet care in your home! I have a fenced in dog park in the community I live in and would be happy to take your pup there every day to get some much needed exercise or socialization when others dogs come to play. I will be responsible and make sure your pup is safe from the time I meet with them until the time you come home! Their safety is my top priority.

“Very prompt & responsible. Seems to enjoy Zoey.”

“Debra was amazing! She gave me updates each walk and played with my pup during a couple long days at work. She was so nice and took great care of my puppy!!! Will definitely be looking to use her again!!”

About: I treat every pet like family—because they deserve nothing less. With experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle seniors, I understand that each pet has unique needs. I’m patient, attentive, and trained in basic obedience techniques, making me especially skilled with energetic pups or pets needing a little extra guidance. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—it doesn’t feel like a task, it feels like time well spent. I structure my days to prioritize the pets in my care, making sure they get the attention, exercise, and affection they need. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, I enjoy creating a routine that makes each pet feel safe and loved. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to relax and play. I stick to each pet’s routine as closely as possible—whether it’s feeding times, walks, medication, or cuddle sessions. I never leave pets unattended for long periods, and I make sure they get both mental and physical stimulation throughout the day. In a client’s home, I respect their space and their pet’s established routine. I follow all instructions carefully, from meal prep to walk routes, and make sure pets get the same love and attention they’re used to. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you always know how your furry friend is doing.

“Absolutely phenomenal!!!! Went above and beyond to take care of my babies, at the last minute at that!!!!”

“Marie did an awesome job. My Zoey seems to really like her. We did a meet and greet. She was friendly and interacted with Zoey. Zoey took to her right away. Showed up on time. Great dog walker.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats frequently since middle school, often in house sitting settings as well. I have had dogs throughout my entire life and have many friends with cats and have spent ample time with them. I have dealt with numerous animals with health issues or problems, including older pets and puppies. I understand the value of all the little unique things that are important to an owner to ensure their pet is taken care of, healthy, protected and loved to their standard. My family rescued a puppy this past year, and I took on a large responsibility in training and watching him during his more crucial stages. I have worked with and spent time around multiple rescued animals and understand the value of creating a comfortable environment from them and extra care to detail as they often have triggers from past experiences. I also work with puppies through a local breeder and have learned a lot about puppies and their development. I am a skilled problem solver, know how to communicate well and can recognize when over-communication is important. I manage my time well and feel that people in my life would consider me an overachiever in all things I do. I love animals and miss having them to interact with while at school; therefore, time spent with them is always valuable to me. I am currently a full-time student at Coastal Carolina University and play club volleyball. I have always worked and played a sport full time alongside school, and after transferring here recently, I have found myself with time for a job. With a schedule that makes my routine look different day by day I have found this would be a great fit as I can be flexible in working with clients. My weekends are free and I have lots of longer gaps throughout my day between classes which could be valuable to those who have to leave their pets for long periods of time. I'm from colorado so going home is not an option for me often and widens my availbilty. I have experience working in apartments, houses, ect of all kinds. Often my pet care includes house sitting which I am very comfortable with. I understand the value and basic decency of respect to others homes and possesions. The golden rule is a fundamental aspect of how I operate in my day to day and I would never do something I wouldnt want done to me, my pets or my home. I am a very honest person and would not hesitate to communicate anything that happens in my time with clients pets or their homes. Honesty is the best policy and valuable in maintinging proper care. I am a great problem solver and have lots of experience with handling conflict. I have grown up very indepentdent and am confident people in my life would consider me to be highly reliable and responsible. Positions as team captains, tutoring and as an RA speak to these traits.

About: I have 4 years of hands-on experience working in pet stores, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m especially good with anxious pets, puppies still learning routines, and senior animals who need extra patience and attention. I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while keeping owners updated with plenty of photos and communication. My goal is to make your pet feel like they’re hanging out with a trusted friend, not just a sitter. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, overnight stays, and weekend care, and I always make time to stick closely to your pet’s normal routine. I’m reliable with feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, and updates so your pet stays happy and comfortable while you’re away.

About: My whole life, I've grown up with cats and dogs (tabby's and pit-bulls to be exact). I have trained 3 puppies (basic commands like sit and stay) and have taken care of one senior dog (18) and a senior cat (17). I do prefer a week in advance heads up, but will help as best as I can! Open to early mornings and late nights. Just communicate your needs and I will do my best to accommodate you. Pets are always cared for in a safe, clean, and supervised environment, whether in my home or yours. I remove hazards, maintain routines, and prioritize comfort, security, and trust. In clients’ homes, I respect all instructions, keep spaces clean, and ensure pets feel comfortable and well cared for at all times.

Rescue animals are my suit so training is a skill i have required I currently work a part time job and attend college however that only takes up my day until about 1 PM on weekdays, so i have a lot of time to work around that set schedule to care for your pets! i can cater to any needs of your fur baby such as walking, letting out, crating, or anything else (in addition to having fun) i have a lot of experience.

“Sarah was great! She was extremely reliable and handled my 2 big dogs with ease. My dogs were well taken care of and her communication was great. We have some complicated instructions when it comes to getting our dogs past our electric fence and she handled that with no problems.”

About: I adopted my own boy and learned a lot just from our short visits in the shelter. I was asked to volunteer at the shelter for my strong dedication to helping him learn and providing the love he needed. I currently work at the hospital with an unusual shift. My schedule does vary, but I’m ready to fill my extra days loving in some fur babies! I have my own dog and know the worry of having to leave them by themselves. I will take care of your fur baby like my own! Unfortunately I will not be able to take any dogs into my own home as my current dog is animal aggressive from being attacked previously.
