Dog Walkers in Granite Quarry, NC

“Carmen did great with my pup and was so easy to communicate with. I will definitely use her again in the future!”

“Lexie is awesome! She came to meet our pup before their first walk and was super thorough. She made sure she knew our routines and was so great with Skip, even with all of his puppy energy. He really loved her and we would absolutely ask her to help out again in the future!”

About: I worked as a kennel technician at a boarding/daycare facility for over a year so I have seen firsthand how stressful those environments can be despite how social you think your dog might be with others. Dogs have always been one of my special interests since I was very little, I have plenty of experience taking care of senior dogs and puppies, and I am comfortable taking care of any breed/temperament. I have no problem if you spam me for pictures of your pup and I love sending constant updates and pics! I know how stressful it can be not to have your dog in your own care so no request is too small. I am a full-time college student studying environment and zoology, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! I have full class schedule throughout the week and it changes per semester, don’t let that stop you from reaching out! I will take a look at any request and see if I can make them work. The more specific you are the better. If I have even the tiniest question I will not hesitate to reach out, I want your dog to be as close to there typical environment/schedule as possible so they are comfortable. Saftey is the big priority for me when caring for your pup, your dog will never be put in an unsafe situation by me. I am comfortable with emergency aid if necessary and I have transportation if your dog needs to be taken to a veterinarian.

About: I have taken care of so many animals in my life. I’ve always rescued animals and we have kept them. When I got married, my mom took them and now I have one sweet cat Storey! All animals have my heart! I have dog / cat sit multiple times. I just recently left my full-time job as a infant teacher. I am six months pregnant and just needed a little stress removed from my life so I am available at all times! I will follow and respect all rules that they have. I am a rule follower! I care for pets would love just like I would a human honestly!

About: I've been surrounded by dogs of every kind my entire life, I have had 2 dogs and 3 cats. I enjoy working with dogs because I am an outdoor person who likes to go for runs and walks. I have been relied on by my friends and neighbors to come and spend time, feed, and walk their pets. I am currently enrolled at Catawba College, getting my masters degree, while competing on the beach volleyball team. All my classes are online and practice ranges from 7-8am, 11am- 1pm, and 5-6pm, but vary through the week. I have a fenced-in backyard for my 2-year-old Lab and I make sure that we keep the bedroom doors closed so I can always keep my eye on them.

About: I love dogs and have enjoyed working with them in many capacities since I was a child and formally for over 15 years. I am a Canine Good Citizen evaluator and have spent years training loving companions. I am certified in Canine CPR and First Aid by the American Red Cross and undergo annual recertifications to stay current on the latest first-aid procedures. I also have experience administering both oral medications and injections. Before your pups stay, we have each family fill out a form for their furry companion. This helps us get to know them better in order to make their stay easier. I have no breed preference and are familiar with handling working canines.  Your pup is welcome in our home, and our couch is open to your furry pooch.  However, I also understand there are dogs who prefer to be outside and are not easily accommodated indoors. I also have covered outdoor runs for those families who still need a vacation but whose pups enjoy more fresh air and natural surroundings. I am happy to accommodate each family's preference. No matter what, canines are treated to lots of exercise and playtime. I wake up and start the day off with morning let out. After each group has been let we come back in for feeding. Morning feedings normally allow for 30-45 minutes before letting out again for a potty break. They are brought back in, crated, and pups are rotated out for play inside throughout the day. I let out every 2-4 hours through the day or more if needed. I do have the option to add on trail walks for those who have social canines who are good with other dogs and people (I will not be introducing them to others but it is a requirement to the trail). In the evening we normally do the last feeding at 7 pm followed by yard play and starting to settle in. Last potty break is at 10 pm. Note: Although I am at home full time I do on occasion leave our home to run errands. Your dog can be left alone for up to 4 hours (max). If this is ever the case your pup will always be crated and secure. For your pup's safety They are never given free rein while unsupervised. I take the safety of your furry companion very seriously. Canines are let out for potty breaks every 2-4 hours (or as needed, if required more frequently). I have a fenced-in yard so your pup will be safe during potty breaks. I do not allow companions from other families to play with each other. This is a safety measure. Your pup can be under a lot of stress when you're gone and I want to make their stay as smooth and relaxing as possible. This doesn't mean I will not be playing with your pup ourselves! I love playing fetch, puzzle games, and even tug with them. I do allow for several outings in the house throughout the day so they can get plenty of one-on-one attention inside as well as extra pets. I have 5 acres that are attached to the national preserve. If your furry companion is social and enjoys walks, I have several trails I am happy to take them on upon request (weather permitting). All outings are on leash only.

I have flexible availability if I’m ever not available I prioritize clear communication over anything else. Just let me know what you need and I got you and your precious pet!

I have a fenced in yard, and I live in a neighborhood that is super pet friendly where I can safely take your dog on walks.

“Lori was a pleasure to work with. Mollie fell in love with her and her affectionate care during their walks. I would not hesitate to ask for her assistance in the future when and if needed. I highly recommend Lori for anyone who needs their pet looked after or walked or for any other service she offers. She's a Five Star for your Furbabies!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 14, and with seven years of experience, I understand the importance of providing loving, reliable care. As a graduate with a degree in veterinary health science (pre-vet), I bring both experience and knowledge to pet sitting. My background in veterinary health science means I can provide attentive care for pets of all ages, including puppies and seniors. I have experience administering medications, monitoring for health concerns, and ensuring pets stay happy and comfortable. Whether it’s a playful pup or a senior pet needing extra attention, I provide compassionate and knowledgeable care. I will be starting Veterinary school in August, so will not be able to provide continued coverage however, I am not currently in school or working. So my times are pretty open. In my client’s home, I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their usual routine. I ensure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise, and enrichment through playtime and companionship. If needed, I can administer medications and monitor for any health concerns. I also keep the home clean and secure while caring for the pet, creating a stress-free experience for both the pet and their owner. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care so pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for seven years and house sitting for four! I own two german shepherds, a beagle, a cat, and a bunny! I have a zoo and your animals are in good hands! Need someone to house sit/dog sit? Contact me! Your fur babies are in good hands! Pet-Care and house sitting is full time for me at the moment! I am available whenever except when on vacation, but will let clients know beforehand! Let me know! I have three dogs and a cat and rabbit so it is often like a zoo in my household! Any services needed please let me know! I am here to provide care and comfort to your animals and/or home!

About: I’ve had animals ever since I was 2 but I had to give up my German Shepherd and Yorkie due to sports. So now I have my best friend, and aunts dog I play with and can keep when I have time . On Sundays I have church so I won’t be able to pupsit. On Saturday I’m free most of the day and the weekdays. I am also a part time babysitter! I make sure the Dog is well fed. I play with them like play toss and tug-a-war. I make sure to walk them as needed and I show my animals lots of love and care!

About: I am a mother and it is obvious in the way I care for dogs it comes naturally and doesn't feel like work. Also, I am friendly, upbeat, and enjoy spending time with dogs. Currently, I am a bar captain for a Broadway theater. So my availability is mostly in the afternoons, and late nights. Over my lifetime, I have had many dogs. All were rescued dogs who suffered from tremendous abuse. With that lasting trauma, trust and behavioral issues are common and for which I have the patience for. In addition to my personal experiences with dogs coming from special circumstances, most of my dogs have been medium to large breeds, and many of those were scent hounds. Which means you have to indulge some curiosities, all while staying mindful of safety. Therefore I would be happy taking your dogs on indulgent walks led by their noses and helping you take great care of your dogs would be my pleasure.

“Emily was such a great help! We needed someone to walk our dog while we were away for a wedding and our pup Lou was happy and healthy when we returned. This was our first time working with Emily, but she coordinated a meet and greet earlier in the week to meet us and get the details for taking care of Lou. We will definitely use Emily again in the future!”

About: For as long as I can remember, I have always had a special place in my heart for pets all shapes and sizes. I’ve had many years of experience taking care of many different breeds of dogs, from very small to giants! My premium work does not come at a premium cost :) I recently graduated college with my bachelors. I currently have 3 dogs. With this in mind, I have open availability to drop by and take your pets out and play! Keeping your pet safe is my top priority. I will keep your pets safe, healthy, and happy while you are away. I will do whatever it takes to achieve this!

About: I have had a deep passion for animals my entire life. My mom worked in a veterinary ER clinic in my home state of South Carolina and would bring me to work to help take care of the patients and boarders on weekends through my high school years. My aunt is a dog trainer who I also shadowed. I have fostered several dogs through their adoption process, from a puppy chihuahua to a senior Great Dane. I’m comfortable with giving medications, post operative care, and much more. Neighbors, friends, and family have all entrusted me with the care of their dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and even fish (they need to eat while their people are away too!). I have taken some time away from Rover for a few years while working on my career, and moved across country to be closer to family, along with starting my own. We now have settled in Rowan County, NC and I am looking to help out fellow pet parents again! I would be available to come by on any day of the week from the times of 7-11am, 1-3pm and 6-9pm. I am pretty open during the day, these are time frames that I would be available for walks, drop in visits, feedings, etc. If other / additional times are needed we can chat and probably make it work. I keep all doors to outside closed and locked while in the home so no escapes are possible. The collar will be fitted properly and each walk will be leashed.
