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!

“The best!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs with different needs and personalities, always providing patient, loving, and dependable care to ensure they feel safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I’m available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends, with a flexible schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I do work part-time, so I’m unavailable on Mondays, Wednesdays, and during the day on Fridays. That said, I’m committed to being reliable, communicative, and consistent during my available times. Pets in my home are treated like family and cared for in a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I have a fenced-in backyard for secure outdoor time and plenty of space for play and exercise. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I also have crates available if needed for rest, training, or to match your pet’s normal routine.

About: I have had pets my entire life. As a 28 year old I have had several years of dog and cat training. I cannot remember a time in my life when I didn’t own a dog. I love to play, run, sit, and comfort animals. I am very good with dogs of any age and weight. I am an animal lover and understand that dogs are humans best friends. Animals deserve to be treated with the best care possible. I am very flexible and eager to work with anyone who needs help! Thank you. I am currently working full time 3rd shift. I am a full time single mom. I am very flexible. My schedule does vary due to working at a hospital and having a toddler, but nothing that would stop me from caring for your fur baby! I had two middle aged small dogs. That were inside dogs and go outside when they please. We went on 3 walks a day and played with toys inside. My dogs have food in their bowls 24/7. I will follow any schedule or expectations given by the owner. My cats were cared for the same as my dogs.

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.

About: I had a schnoodle named Opie from 2012 to 2022. He was a great dog. I loved the joy he brought my family! Although we have not had a pet since then because it does not fit in our life currently financially, I have that great joy seeing others walking their dogs, playing with them, or driving by dog parks! Please allow me to get my pet fix by loving on your pet! I currently work a flexible Amazon Prime schedule. When I am delivering I see many people in neighborhoods walking or playing with their pets and it brings me so much joy! I would love the opportunity to care for yours! I can manage to give one on one time with your pet or if they love kids I can bring my kids with as well and bring them joy too! I do not have pets of my own but any animals I come across I make sure I love on them after asking permission from the owner. I have 4 kids who love animals too! I will treat them as my own! Thank you for letting me get my animal fix!

About: I've been caring for dogs for many years, both through pet ownership and helping family and friends with their pets. Over the years I've owned a Golden Retriever and currently have a high-energy Border Collie, giving me plenty of experience with active dogs that need regular exercise, play, and attention. I've also cared for multiple Golden Retrievers, a Mini Australian Shepherd, and a Lab mix. My experience includes dogs of all ages, from raising puppies to caring for senior dogs, and I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. During the summer, I have a flexible schedule due to being off from my full-time job, which allows me to accommodate a variety of walking and drop-in visit times. I'm happy to work with your dog's routine and can often provide weekday and daytime availability. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a longtime dog owner and caregiver, I understand the importance of patience, attentiveness, and building trust with every dog. I've cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs, and I always tailor my approach to each dog's personality and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, fetch, or a slower-paced outing, they'll receive plenty of care, supervision, and affection while they're with me.

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.

About: Hi! I’m a proud mom and lifelong dog lover who understands that pets are family. When I’m not spending time with my son, you’ll usually find me with my two beloved Doodles, who keep life fun, active, and full of cuddles. As a dog sitter, I provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment where your pup will be treated like one of my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply keeping your dog company while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I look forward to giving your furry family member the attention, love, and care they deserve. I am currently between jobs, I want to care for animals during my free time. I am free everyday of the week, so my schedule is easily modified. I live in a town home that is surrounded with lots of space to go on walks. It is a safe neighborhood that is also near parks.

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

About: I've been an animal lover since childhood, training dogs, and worked a pet store for many years. Making sure an animal is treated just like a child with the best care and nutrition is my passion. I am very one on one with my pets, taking time to play fetch with them and go on walks so we both get our exercise in for the day. Animals always seem to take right to me. I am skilled in administering medications and know dog CPR. I also have extensive first aid training from my time as a volunteer fire fighter. My current availability is very open , any time, even last minute notice is okay. I do work 8-5 on a average Shift. If you trust your loved one to me, you won't be let down!

“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 don’t remember a time in my life when i didn’t have a pet and i’ve always been so natural at caring for and loving them. 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.

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.

About: I understand, as a pet owner myself, that finding someone you trust to care for your furry family members isn't easy. Well, look no further because I'm your girl. I am the sole owner/operator of My Kids Have Paws Pet Sitting, and I have relocated to Longs, SC. I've built a successful clientele base in Colleton County over the last several years, and I'm excited to bring my experience, passion, and love for all animals to Horry County. I have a special place in my heart for furry, four-legged kids. I've opened my heart and home to many dogs & cats through the years, and I'd love to share that love with your precious family members. Animals are where my heart is, and I love spending my day engulfed in the unbridled enthusiasm and love that these wonderful creatures provide. I've also really enjoyed volunteering at animal shelters, and I wish that I could rescue them all. That's just one reason you can trust me to care for your pet as if they were my own. I've made caring for your furry kids my full-time DREAM job. My services include a drop-in visit while you're away or overnight care in your home. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and reptiles, and my specialty is small farms including chickens/birds, horses, pigs, goats and cows. You can feel confident knowing your babies are in great hands with me. After all, my kids have paws. Love, Heather Adair I have been pet sitting full-time since 2017 and my goal is to keep your fur babies in their usual happy & comfortable in their routine. I love what I do and again, I'm stepping in to mimick your pet's routine and give them lots of love and attention while you're away.
