Dog Walking In Hembstead

About: Hi! I am a student and football player at Furman University. I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up around dogs of all sizes and personalities. Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just giving them attention and comfort. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away. I’m currently home for the month of May from college. I love being active and working out is a huge part of my daily life. Throughout the month I will sporadically be doing some shadowing in the Wealth Management space. My schedule is basically wide open and I plan to fill a lot of that time by caring for pets. I’m happy to walk your dog for as long as needed, and I also enjoy doing drop-in visits. I take pride in making sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and in good hands.

“As the song goes…“Simply the best” is basically the review. April is always dependable and you’re crazy if you don’t book her for your next Rover needs. Thank you as always April.”

About: I’ve had a special love for animals for as long as I can remember, it’s truly been a part of who I am since I was very young. Some of my earliest memories are of picking up worms off the road to keep them from being run over, because even then, I cared deeply about protecting their little lives! When I was just 7 years old, I began walking dogs in my neighborhood after school, and I continued doing so until I was 13, when I moved houses. That experience taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand each animal’s unique needs and personality. Today, I’m a devoted pet mom to two cats who are a huge part of my life and my heart. My love for animals has only grown stronger over the years, and my goal is to treat every pet I care for with genuine kindness, compassion, and the same love I give my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I get out of school at 12:30, which gives me plenty of time each day to check in on your sweet pups and kitties—often multiple times a day if needed. I also have reliable transportation, so I’m able to get to your home quickly and be there as soon as possible if your furry friend needs attention. In addition, my other work is online and flexible, allowing me to spend more quality time with the animals in my care rather than being tied to a strict schedule. My flexibility means your pet will receive consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day! I attempt to provide flexible, attentive care based on each pet’s needs and the service requested. I am able to travel to a client’s home at any time needed and can check in multiple times throughout the day to ensure pets are comfortable, well-cared for, and never feel alone. During visits, I will focus on feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of care and attention 🫶. I strive to make every pet feel safe, loved, and cared for just like my own.

“Nataly was so patient with Link when she stepped in on short notice to take him for a few walks during the day. She sat with him and made him feel comfortable until he felt ok and safe enough to walk on a leash with her. He can be shy and scared at first but he warmed up to her quickly and she was a great walker. Also gave his oral medication for him as well which I greatly appreciated! Would def recommend!”

“Jessica is an AMAZING sitter. I’ve never left my pets home alone like this before and was extremely nervous about it. My dog has separation anxiety, my cat has diabetes, they steal each other’s food, etc. so finding a sitter gets complicated. Jessica did everything I needed for my babies, and even was able to give my shy kitty his insulin. Everything here went perfectly when I was away and I am so relieved. I really can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I have personal experience with cats but have watched several family members/friends dogs when needed. My children pet sat and I would accompany them. I love to learn about what makes them unique and I truly love to walk them. I work part-time from home so I have a lot of flexibility. Heavier schedule the 2nd-15th of the month. My children are grown and live out of time, so I have a lot more extra time. Since we have an older cat living with us, I would need to dog/cat sit at the clients house. In an emergency, I could see what I could do.

“Dorothy is the best! I moved recently and needed someone right away for my fur baby. I appreciate how she communicates during her time with my dog. Dorothy is reliable and loves my chocolate Labrador Retriever. He loves her as well!”

About: I have several years of experience taking care of senior dogs and young puppies. I have also taken care of a variety of different breeds of all sizes. This experience gives me a deep understanding of canine behaviors and needs. I also enjoy meeting each cat’s individual needs whether it’s basic or petting and playing with them. Each one of them is different. I provide morning, afternoon, and evening visits/ walks/ sniff-ari’s daily. Twice a day feedings with gourmet garnishes for increased health and fun. I provide daily enrichment activities for my dog like the snuffle mat, kong, word mat, car rides and lots of cuddles. I maintain each individual dog’s routine - even if it’s a kiss on the head to let them know it’s ok to eat. I do accept pets outside of my service radius and may charge an extra $5 per visit. Trust and safety are extremely important to me. A consistent schedule and calm and familiar environment are essential. Each pet is different and needs must be adapted accordingly.

“Christie was great with our 4 month old puppy, Wanda. She showed up consistently and let me know ahead of time when something unexpected came up preventing her from walking Wanda as scheduled one time. She alerted us to a behavior that could be a problem when walking around our neighborhood and worked with Wanda on her manners.”

About: I adore animals, and always want you to trust that your precious dog or cat is comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I’ve been a pet owner most of my life. I grew up with dogs, hamsters, and fish, and have pet-sat dogs and cats since childhood. I care for several friends’ and neighbors’ dogs, both young and elderly, both in and out of my home. I have experience caring for a friend’s older rescue pup, working her way through trauma and trust issues, who has slowly warmed up to me. My family of five humans currently have a beloved dog, Sunny, and sweet little hamster, Poppy. My children are in school full time, so I have a lot of free time for drop-ins, walks, daycare, and boarding. I enjoy time in my house and yard, playing with my dog, as well as taking walks, so dogs are the perfect companions! I have a fenced-in yard, and let my dog outside throughout the day and evening (although she prefers being inside!). I also have gates that can be used to limit access to certain rooms or stairs as needed. I will use a crate if requested by a client, or if one if necessary for a visiting dog’s safety, anxiety, or comfort when I’m not present. I typically only board or provide daycare for up to two dogs at a time. On occasion I may have an overlap of a dog from a new family along with one of my regulars, but will always inform both owners ahead of the stay. Safety and comfort are my primary focuses. * I am insured and bonded through Pet Care Insurance (PCI), in addition to the Rover Guarantee, for extra peace of mind. *

“Jane is great! Very nice and my dog loves her.”

About: Starting when I was in 5th grade I put up Dog walking signs around my neighborhood and surrounding neighborhood to work with dogs. Since then i’ve dog and cat sit for multiple neighbors over the years. I was relied on for things like feeding, playing and walking pets. I am currently holding a job which is pretty much from 2:00 until 6:00 every Monday-Friday, however this is only until June 9th 2026. I also have one class in the morning from about 8:30 until 10:30 also ending on June 2nd. So i have a lot of time throughout the day and night and especially on weekends to tend to your pets. And during the summer my schedule is open to have even more time to work! I tend to the pets with care and caution that i approach them in a correct way so the pets feel safe and taken care of.

About: I’ve walked neighbors dogs when they’re out of town and have visited dogs to feed them and let them out. I’ve also had a dog my entire life. I can walk or visit dogs anytime of the day. I can also pet sit. I’m on summer break so I’m very flexible with my hours. I make sure they are fed on time and get their proper meds on time. I also play with them and like to take them on walks.

“From the first meet and greet Alexi has been great. She loves Remi just as much as I do! I highly recommend Alexi to care for your fur babies!”

About: I have a very large fenced backyard, perfect for outdoor play! My husband and I are home full time and are attentive to your dogs needs. Currently, we have a very friendly Golden Retriever who loves playing with other dogs and is very gentle. I strive to provide responsible pet care in a nurturing and safe family oriented environment. I am a dog lover and recognize that our dogs are an extension of our family. When I travel, I like to make sure my dog is in a happy home where she is comfortable and gets loving attention. I wanted to help do that for other friends and neighbors. I will do my best to treat your dog like he/she is one of my own!
