About: My full time job allows for flexibility during the work day and allows me to work anywhere with wifi. I can often be in the home caring for your animals or taking them out more often than a traditional sitter who works a 9-5. I dog sit for many members of my family and have had dogs since I was 2 years old. I have a lot of experience giving medication and working with elderly animals. If I am available, I would love to set up a meet and greet to see if I would be a good fit! I work a flexible 9-5 and can drop in to walk or spend additional time caring for your animal(s) because of the flexibility! I wake up early as well! I treat each home like I am a true guest there and treat it and the animals if they were my own. I am very respectful of the rules and furniture.

Let’s talk and see what days are needed and I would love to make them work. If you are in the Asheboro area I have afternoon/ evening availability to drop in Sun-Thur. Preferably Thomasville area Friday/ Saturday but can make most anywhere work! Just reach out. I can take care of your pet in your home from walking, to feeding to grooming.

About: Hello!! I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since i was 11 years old! I have been around animals all my life(of all ages and sizes)! I currently have a yorkie and a golden doodle, both friendly with dogs(can be separated if needed)We also have a fenced in backyard for some playtime! My Grandma is also connected with the vets around us! Please lmk what I can do to help with any vacations or just need time. Thank you!! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I spend a lot of time at home and enjoy staying active. Throughout the day I make time for walks in my neighborhood, outdoor play in my fenced-in backyard, feeding schedules, and plenty of attention and companionship. I plan my day around making sure the pets I’m watching are comfortable, exercised, and cared for. On a weekly basis, I maintain a consistent routine so pets have structure, including regular walks, playtime, and relaxation time, helping them feel safe and at home while their owners are away. 🐶🌿 I have a big fenced in backyard with a dog house and heaters and ac when it’s hot out there. A good neighborhood to walk in and also dog crates that rage from small to large if needed for your dog!! I have 2 dogs myself(yorkie and golden doodle) Both good with other dogs!! If needed to put away they can be.

About: Ive taken care of animals for 2 year at a dog daycare, friends and family have relied on me, to walk, feed and bathe their pets… I’m currently not working, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! Im available for boarding on weekends, and on weekdays anytime I have a fenced in mini barn and three friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed…

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.

About: I have a dog of my own that I love to take walks with. I also love going out and running around with him or throwing the frisbee to him. I have dog-sat for my friend in the past and it went very well. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule. I am someone who loves to be outside and around animals. This is something that will feel natural and mesh well with my life. I will not be able to care for the dogs at my own home due to my childhood dog living there and jealousy/protectiveness being one of his main traits. Although the clients home would be perfect for me. I like to keep dogs on their everyday routine. For example, letting them out typically whenever they usually go outside. Feeding them around the same time the owners do. I am younger so I love to run around with the dogs. I will play with all of their toys with them. I can also chill out, lay down, and pet the dog!

About: I’m a dedicated animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats over the years. Whether it was daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving plenty of affection and attention, I’ve always made sure my pets felt safe, happy, and loved. Although I don’t currently have any animals of my own, all of my previous dogs and cats are thriving in wonderful, loving homes with family or trusted caretakers. I truly enjoy spending time with pets and would be happy to give your dog or cat the same attentive, compassionate care they deserve while you’re away. *im currently a solo parent so my baby and toddler will join me for visits as I don’t have childcare As a stay-at-home mom, I'm home most of the day and can easily fit pet care into our family routine. I handle school drop-offs, dance, grocery runs, and outings, but I'm usually back home quickly. I'm very flexible for drop-in visits, walks, or boarding and can provide consistent care during the day, evenings, and weekends. Your pets will get plenty of love and attention while your away! I provide loving, attentive care in a calm and safe environment. I respect your home and privacy completely. I make sure pets are fed on their exact schedule, get plenty of playtime, cuddles, and affection, and are never left alone longer than needed. I'm reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every pet like my own. Whether I'm caring for them in your home or mine, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priority.

About: My journey started with owning cats growing up and training every animal I ever owned leading up to my first dog. My cats and even my bird. When I was 12, I started dog sitting Pierre, my mom’s coworkers Yorkshire Terrier. He caused me to fall in love with dogs. I became obsessed with AKC dog shows, my mom and I watched it every Thanksgiving morning after the parade. I actually loved anything with animals. I owned many cats from the age of 4 through my teenage years. I love cats but they can’t do what dogs can. Finally after years of begging, my mom got us our first dog, Omega. He was a beautiful standard poodle and was so smart. My best friends mom had a friend who needed to rehome one of hers, he was 1 when we got him and I taught him all he knew from down, stay to jumping over a pole. Before going off to college I chose to foster dogs in need and I fostered three successfully who went off and found their forever homes. It was the most rewarding thing. So I decided if I can work with dogs my entire life and just be around them all day for a job Id be in heaven! Naturally my teenage brain thought “I’ll be a Veterinarian”! I completed 3 years at Virginia Tech majoring in Animal & Poultry Science doing the Companion Animal Tract. I was able to receive a lot of hands on experience with animals of all kinds; pigs, cattle, sheep, horses and chickens (of all ages). I learned skills from halter breaking heifers to administering shots in 3 different ways. Though I do enjoy animals of all kinds I eventually came to the realization that I thoroughly enjoy training dogs and I’m constantly training my own. I currently have two that im working with regularly just for fun at one point and so it dawned on me that I’m in the wrong career. So while in the process of developing and launching my own personal Dog training and boarding business. Since I work from home, I have the time and knowledge to be able to dedicate to helping others who are in need of these services now. Trusting their fur babies will receive the best of care and would be made to feel at home. If your baby is more comfortable in their own home I’m happy to accommodate to their needs. Leaving your fur babies is not always easy, trust me, I’m having to do it for the first time soon myself and with me you can have the peace of mind that your furry friends will be in great hands, as I will treat them just how I’d expect mine to be treated ! With nothing but love, care and patience. I have Experience with all ages! Omega was with us until he passed at the age of 14! My dogs recently had an accidental litter and I raised up 10 puppies who all lived and are 12 weeks old now ! I’m familiar with administering pills or medications if necessary. 7 puppies remain in my care as I want to make sure they go to great homes and I plan to train them as service dog prospects ! I train dogs in basic and advance obedience, on and off leash training, and some skills like protection and sport work. I work from home full time starting my work day at 12:30 pm and ending at 9 pm. I get two 15 minute breaks and one 30 minute lunch through the day. During which they would be able to potty and play. So your furry friend will always have someone home with them. It is a goal of mine to eventually do this full time. I have A large yard on an acre property. Dogs who are trained off leash can roam in the back which has rock boarders lining the property. For those not trained off lead i have A long 30 ft lead which will still allow them the freedom to run around. I have two adult dogs and a litter of puppies still with me who can keep any anxious friends company. And for those who need to be alone, my two can be kept upstairs in my room and the puppies can be crated leaving your friend the entire downstairs to roam or in my work office with me while I work. I have two large crates which can be used if your friend has a hard time getting settled in a new environment. I provide an enriching environment where your fur baby will learn how to be a better k9 citizen everyday ! Picture and video updates can be sent regularly !

About: I am custom to all dog types, every pet is treated with peace, love, & care. I have had only big breeds as my own, the only big I see is big baby! Lol I can handle a sour patch 🤍🐾 Pet care is part of my daily routine making time for feeding, fresh water, walks or playtime, and plenty of attention to keep pets happy, healthy, and loved. 🐾 I have extensive experience in pet care, specifically with dogs. Over the years, I have honed my skills in various aspects of dog care, which are crucial for a beginner dog walker to understand. Here are the key areas of my experience: 1. Understanding Dog Behavior: • Recognizing different dog temperaments and behaviors. • Identifying signs of stress, anxiety, and aggression. • Understanding body language and vocalizations. 2. Handling and Walking Dogs: • Using proper leash techniques to ensure control and safety. • Managing multiple dogs at once, keeping them calm and orderly. • Navigating different environments, such as parks, streets, and busy areas. 3. Basic Training and Commands: • Teaching and reinforcing basic commands like sit, stay, come, and heel. • Using positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior. • Addressing common behavioral issues like pulling on the leash or barking excessively. 4. Health and Safety: • Recognizing common health issues, such as overheating, dehydration, and injuries. • Administering basic first aid and knowing when to seek veterinary care. • Ensuring dogs have access to clean water and are protected from extreme weather conditions. 5. Socialization: • Introducing dogs to new people and other dogs in a controlled manner. • Ensuring positive interactions and preventing conflicts. • Understanding the importance of regular socialization for a dog’s well-being. 6. Exercise and Play: • Providing appropriate levels of exercise based on the dog’s age, breed, and health. • Engaging dogs in stimulating activities to keep them mentally and physically active. • Using toys and games to make walks enjoyable and enriching. 7. Routine Care: • Maintaining a consistent walking schedule to meet the dog’s needs. • Ensuring cleanliness by picking up after the dog and disposing of waste properly. • Monitoring the dog’s overall condition and reporting any concerns to the owner. 8. Communication with Owners: • Providing regular updates on the dog’s behavior, health, and activities. • Listening to and addressing any specific concerns or requests from the owners. • Building trust and a strong relationship with both the dog and the owner. By understanding and applying these principles, I ensure that the dogs in my care are happy, healthy, and well-behaved. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and a genuine love for animals, which I believe are essential qualities for any successful dog walker.
