Dog Walkers in Flat Rock, NC

About: I’ve been animal-obsessed for as long as I can remember 🐾💕 I’ve worked with animals most of my life and currently work at a veterinary clinic in Brevard, so I have tons of hands-on experience with all kinds of pet needs. I’ve been pet sitting for 7 years, starting out helping friends and family, and I’ve been so lucky to have it grow through word of mouth into something I truly love doing! Caring for animals truly makes me so happy, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—spoiled, loved, and well cared for! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to check on your babies! I can do early AM, lunch and PM visits! I also live within 5 minutes of Downtown Hendersonville so I’m easy and convenient! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take great care to create a calm, secure environment and follow your instructions closely. I also love keeping you connected while you’re away—expect regular photo updates and I’m always happy to do FaceTime check-ins so you can see your pet happy and safe in real time!

“Mallory walked our dogs everyday while we were away. The dogs warmed right up and were excited to get their walk. Mallory was dependable and always walked them for the agreed upon duration, or longer. We will definitely ask Mallory to walk our dogs the next time we’re away.”

About: Each animal is a new friend and I’m here to help their whole family! I’ve been pet/house sitting for friends and family for more than 8 years. I appreciate how each animal is a special individual and enjoy getting to know each one. My length of stays have ranged from 1 day - 2 months. If you choose me, I like to visit/meet prior to my sitting to make sure it's a good fit for all and help your fur baby get to know me with you present. No pressure if your schedule doesn't allow for it, it's not a requirement. Thanks! I work part-time on a flexible schedule week to week. Allowing myself to be open to bookings and then adjust my schedule around confirmed bookings. I’m respectful, detail oriented and adapatable. I adapt my caring service to meet the homeowners routine/needs. I want to minimize the disruption to the pet’s normal routine and keep a happy home for the pet & parent’s return.

“Kira is very nice. She Arrived on time and did what I asked. Pickle seemed very excited in the pictures. Will book again.”

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and take genuine joy in meeting each one. With years of personal experience caring for multiple pets, I enjoy learning their individual personalities, routines, and quirks so I can provide thoughtful, attentive care. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with pets of different ages and temperaments. I focus on making each animal feel safe, understood, and at ease; I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾 I work part time restoring homes, which gives me a flexible, self-directed schedule. Pet sitting fits naturally into my day, and I’m able to plan my work around each client’s needs to ensure consistent care, attention, and reliability. Being self-employed allows me to adjust my availability, accommodate routines, and spend quality time with each pet. I’m looking to fill my spare time with something uplifting and rewarding, and caring for animals is both personally fulfilling and a priority I can fully commit to. I focus on each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while in their home by maintaining a calm, consistent environment and following all care instructions closely. I respect the client’s space and ensure doors, gates, and potential hazards are secure at all times. I provide attentive supervision during visits and keep pets engaged with appropriate play, feeding, and rest based on their needs. I’m also happy to provide frequent check-ins with photos and updates on mealtimes, playtime, and naps. If there are any additional requests or special instructions, I’m glad to accommodate them to ensure both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident.

“I'm so happy to have met Alexis! She has been meshing so well with my dog in helping her practice calmness with new situations. I'm happy to see my pup making such good progress. It's just what she needed. Alexis has been wonderfully responsive to suggestions I've wanted to try and she has an innate understanding of animals, as well as a wonderful, calm energy.”

About: Growing up with cats, I knew I wanted to be a dog person. I have rescued two dogs, both of which like to shadow us. I work from home next to an open doggy door all day. Our guests have access to a large fenced in yard, the opportunity to have some quiet time if they need it, and endless toys and bones to play with. Kyle and I are available often; the only restrictions we have include traveling that we do a handful of times throughout the year. When we aren’t traveling or working, Kyle likes to fish and I am focused on my art which takes place in my home. We have very few restrictions in our house when it comes to the dogs. (I think our only restriction is to table food, they don’t get any.) They have free rein of our large, fenced in back yard. If a dog needs their space, they go to another floor. I have a door that separates upstairs and down with comfortable areas in both locations for them to be alone with toys, bones, dog beds, and human furniture with full and easy access to all. If I am downstairs (in my studio) they will be with me. From my studio, they have direct access to the backyard via doggy door which is almost always open.

“My dog has a lot of separation anxiety, and Kristen was amazing with her. The communication, photos, and updates made such a difference, and I felt completely at ease knowing Rosie and Pete were loved and cared for. They’re my babies, and I’m so thankful to have found someone who understands that. Thank you!”
