Dog Walkers in Hardins, NC

“Sara was awesome. She filled in when our regular sitter was unavailable. She came for a meet and greet. Took nice walks or spent good visit time when it was raining. She left great notes. I knew Piper was well cared for.”

About: Animal enthusiast! What sets me apart is that I’m not only an experienced pet lover, but also a responsible and attentive caregiver who treats every animal like family. As a college student home for the summer, I have a flexible schedule and can provide consistent, reliable care when needed. I have hands-on experience caring for my own cat, Gus, which has taught me how to understand different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m especially patient and gentle, which helps with both energetic young pets and older pets who need a calmer, more careful approach. I also make sure to follow instructions closely, communicate clearly with owners, and provide updates so you always know your pet is safe and happy. As a college student home for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. This allows me to provide dependable care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs, whether it's drop-in visits, walks, overnight stays, or last-minute bookings. I'm committed to being reliable, responsive, and available when you need someone you can trust with your pets. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special care instructions to help them feel secure and stress-free. In a client's home, I respect their space while maintaining their pet's normal schedule for feeding, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I pay close attention to pets during visits and walks, keep owners updated with photos and messages, and make sure pets receive the same love, patience, and care that I give my own cat, Gus.

“Fantastic job! Even brought in some packages I had on the porch too. She took time to update me on how he was doing. Thanks! Will be using again.”

Whether it's grooming, behavior modification, or general wellness, I am dedicated to providing top-quality care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. Pet care is truly the core of my daily routine. My day begins with feeding routines, followed by cleaning my dog training room and conducting morning training sessions or walks. The rest of the day is dedicated to various aspects of animal care, including grooming, training, playtime, feeding, meal prep, and administering medications when needed. I do it all to ensure the well-being of every pet I care for. On weekends, I’m usually at a dog sport trial or competition, or enjoying outdoor activities like hiking and swimming with my pets, or simply relaxing and bonding with them.

I take pride in being responsible and reliable, offering a safe and loving environment while upholding the highest standards of care.

“Robert has been taking my dog, Craig, for walks on a weekly basis for about six months now. I highly recommend him as he has been very friendly, dependable, and reliable. Robert took really good care of Craig and made sure his needs were met during each visit, especially during times when Craig wasn’t feeling well. He also took the best dog photos which were a joy to receive in the middle of a work shift. I’m very satisfied with his services overall!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Fur babies have a special place in my heart and I will take the best of care of any kind of fur baby. I currently have a two golden doodles(<1), an Australian Shepard(2), miniature Aussie(12) and a cat(13) I rescued from the humane society. I currently work 3 days a week and attend college.

The dogs typically spend the day with us but when we aren’t home we put them outside in a kennel.

About: I have been around animals my whole life. I live on a farm with a variety of different animals inside and outside of the home. I am a single mom so my availability is flexible. I have other animals of my own that are here as well that they would have to play with or be secluded whatever they wanted or need. All animals are welcome in the house. I live on a large amount of land where they would be free to roam wherever with supervision. Included I do have an air conditioned tiny home that is welcome to them as well.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give every animal in my care. I currently have a Husky, a Pitbull, and a cat of my own, so I’m very comfortable with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. From active dogs that love long walks and playtime to cats that need a calm and caring environment, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ve also cared for many cats over the years and know that every pet has their own routine and unique needs. I treat every animal like family and focus on providing reliable, loving care while keeping owners updated for peace of mind. My passion for animals truly shows in the patience, care, and attention I give to every pet I meet.

I’m also available on weekends, which gives me even more time to focus on providing quality care and companionship. As a pet owner myself with a Husky, a Pitbull, and a cat, I’m already used to maintaining feeding schedules, exercise routines, and giving pets lots of love and attention every day. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm environment, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved whether they are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions from the owner. I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. In my home, pets will have a clean, safe, and caring environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Since I have experience with both high-energy dogs and cats, I’m comfortable handling different personalities and energy levels. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel relaxed in their familiar environment while also keeping the home clean, secure, and well cared for. I provide updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and in good hands.
