Dog Walking Hickory Flat

“Kathy was amazing! We recently had her do daily walking for our dog Raolcan. She was communicative and professional, friendly and did a great job with Raolcan. I know he was happy to make a new friend for these last few weeks. Definitely recommend her! Thanks Kathy!”

About: Hi, I’m Charity! Having had animals all my life, I truly have a deep love and respect for them. To this day, one of my most favorite jobs was my very first job in high school at a dog boarding facility a short four wheel drive through our woods. My responsibilities there were to let dogs out, love on, clean/sanitize kennels, feed and administer medications, and clean up the dog yards. I gained so much experience with different breeds while there, which made me fall more in love with dogs specifically. As an adult, my first dog was a West Highland Terrier named Gabby that my then fiancé (now husband) surprised me with. She sadly passed at 14.5 years old in October of 2024. We also have bench bred/English Labradors named Abel & Jett. Jett is the first dog I’ve had that I got involved with dog shows and sports with. He has multiple titles from obedience, dock diving, fast cat, conformation, and hunt tests. I am a stay at home mom which allows me the freedom to be available for your dog majority of the day aside from when I need to run errands. BOARDING: We have a spacious home on a culdesac with a large fenced in backyard. When caring for pets in my home, it is incredibly important to me to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved while providing lots of snuggles and play time. Daily updates of how your dog is doing along with pictures are sent to help keep your mind at ease. During a client dog’s stay, they will be on the main floor with our family. We have a basement with access to the backyard complete with a dog room furnished with 3 4ft x 6ft kennels, Kuranda beds, & orthopedic beds that my personal dogs will utilize, and is available for client dogs as well if needed. I also have a baby gate on our laundry room doorway off the kitchen that can be used for client dogs to have their own private space. This allows me to ensure every dog stays safe when not supervised. *I typically only board one client at a time. This allows your dog(s) to get all the attention and, I believe, have an easier transition staying in a new place vs there being multiple dogs from different clients. If a ‘regular’ requests the same dates, I will sometimes make an exception and let both families know there will be an additional dog. With my home set up, I am able to comfortably keep several client dogs separated and will only allow interaction between them with the approval of both families. DROP INS: During drop-in visits, our time is spent going out in their backyard for potty breaks and play, going on walks, getting loved on, and fed if needed. Any quick tidying I can do in the house (vacuuming, mop up if it’s muddy outside, wipe down counters, scoop out a litter box, etc) I am happy to do as well.

About: Hello! My name is Kenzie, and I’m a zookeeper with a lifelong passion for animals of all kinds! Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of species, with giraffes being my specialty. Working in animal care has taught me the importance of adaptability, patience, and individualized care. I have extensive experience with daily care and feeding, administering medications, following medical procedures, and safely relocating animals when needed. I love knowing all the little quirks that make your baby unique, what kind of scratches they like, which toys are their favorite etc. The more I know about their needs the more fun we can have together! Above all, I have a huge heart for animals and make their comfort, safety, and individual needs my top priority. I’m available for flexible drop-in visits as well as dog walking, and I would love the opportunity to care for your critters like they’re my own! I am very flexible with my schedule and do my best to accommodate the needs of both my clients and their critters! I’m happy to work around your schedule and find a routine that works best for you and your pet, while always making sure they receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. At home, I’m also a proud cat mom to two rescue cats, each with their own unique health needs that I manage alongside them. I’m especially passionate about choice-based and cooperative care, and I bring that same philosophy to every animal I work with. I’m very comfortable caring for nervous or shy animals and will always respect their boundaries and give them space when they need it. On the other hand, I’m a big animal lover, so if your critter is looking for some extra cuddles and affection, I’m always happy to oblige!

About: Hello, pet lovers and owners! I have grown up with a variety of animals all my life and have always had a passionate love for them. I was a dog groomer for about 2 years. This allowed my knowledge of animals to grow, I am very familiar with dogs body language and the way they communicate with it. I have worked with all kinds of dogs, different dog breeds, dogs with behavioral challenges, dogs with health issues, and am knowledgeable on the ways to adapt to their needs. I would be happy to take care of any grooming needs for your animals as well. I have also worked at a veterinary hospital as a receptionist and a kennel tech at a humane society . I have a worked with animals for years and have never met one I didn’t love. I currently work 4 days a week, 8 hour shifts. On those days I can stop by before and after work to hang out with your pups. I am able to stay overnight on those days as well. The other 3 days of the week my availability is open! I don’t offer my home up for pets because I am in an apartment. However, when at a clients home I respect their space and privacy. I listen to their boundaries and do not cross them. If staying over night I always clean up after myself and the dogs of course.

“I reach out to Emmanuel to walk my dog and it was a great decision I'll definitely use his services again in the future he did really great communicating and sending me pictures of my dog. Thank you.”

About: I’ve dog sat for three different dogs in high school and help my friends with their dogs now. My roommate has a golden doodle mix, who loves and adores me if that says anything! I’ve dog sat overnight for a household up to three dogs and cared for elderly, eccentric and larger dogs. I’ve always been around animals my whole life (used to own pigs, goats and sheep) so I’m familiar with the care and love they need. Hopefully I’m a great match! I have a full time job that I work M-F 9-5pm so I can feed or walk mornings or after work. Weekends I can be available any time. I treat my cats with all the love I have. I do really well at listening to my cats and knowing their different needs. My 2 year old tabby and 1 year old kitty are very different creatures with different feeding habits and needs. I try my best to listen to them and make sure both are getting the love they need from me. I will continue this for my clients, as I think it’s really important to apply a based knowledge of pet care with a personalized care towards each creature.

About: I’m experienced with a variety of dog breeds, temperaments, ages and sizes! I have had experience for all my life, growing up with dogs and being the go to dog sitter/walker for all my friends and family.

Depending on service the dogs get premium care, attention and play. If I’m working I’ll make sure I can either work from home or take breaks so pups aren’t left alone for long.

About: I had a family dog for a little over 10 years. She passed away my first year of college, and since then I’ve loved pet sitting! It brings me so much joy to care for animals and give them a comfortable, loving environment while their owners are away. Your pet will be treated like family in our home, with plenty of attention, care, and a safe, fenced-in space to play and relax. Staying with us in Milton is like a five-star luxury hotel experience for your dog, where they’ll be spoiled, well cared for, and feel right at home! I recently graduated from the University of Florida and now work full-time with a hybrid/remote schedule, which allows me to be flexible and attentive throughout the day. I also have prior experience with Rover from college and truly enjoy getting my “puppy fix” by caring for others’ pets! I am a very nurturing pet sitter and will treat your animal like my own baby - Lots of love and treats in my care! Plus I live with my brother and parents, so there is never a shortage of attention!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had at least one dog in the house. So I learned the basics of feeding, grooming, walking , and training from an early age. As I got older. I naturally became the go-to dog sitter for neighbors and friends in the community. Whether it was daily walks, overnight stays, or just keeping a dog company while their owners were away, I’ve always enjoyed making a dog comfortable while I was watching them. Currently, I have my own dog (Milo) who is 2yrs old. I have gained experience in giving my dog a happy and healthy life. It’s never been a chore to me - it’s something I take joy in. I’m currently working full time through the week. I am available for boarding on Fridays after 5:30pm and through the weekends, so I will have plenty of time for fun with the fur babies. I have a fenced in backyard. I have 2 dogs (Milo and Maggie Mae) that can keep your fur babies company. There is a park near by for walking and fun!

I work completely remote for a flexible job, so my routine can fit around any pet care! I go on 5 mile walks daily and am more than happy to bring along a furry friend.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I grew up with dogs and currently have 7 cats of my own (including 2 foster babies), so animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve also bottle fed kittens and cared for rescue animals, so I’m very comfortable with pets that need extra patience, attention, or a gentle approach. I know leaving your pets with someone new can feel stressful, I feel the same way with my own. I take that trust seriously and will always treat your pets like family while you’re away. I’m very patient, dependable, and love building trust with every pet I care for. I also make it a priority to send regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re gone! I work full-time Tuesday through Friday, but I’m very flexible outside of work hours and have open availability Saturdays through Mondays. I’m able to make plenty of time for your pets and can work around their routines to make sure they receive the care, attention, and consistency they’re used to. Whether that’s morning visits, evening drop-ins, or weekend care, I’m happy to help! I care for pets in their home by keeping them on their normal routine as much as possible. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, medications, and playtime while making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I always take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, whether they love attention or prefer a little extra space. I treat every pet like my own, every home with respect, and always provide regular photo/video updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

“Demarcio is great. He was very patient with our dog and communicated regularly and keep me in the loop. I would be thrilled to use him again.”
