Dog Walkers in Hickory Tavern, SC

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience caring for all kinds of animals — from goats and pigs to dogs and cats! I’ve been around animals since I was a kid, so I understand their different personalities and needs. I’m patient, gentle, and always make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and pets that need a little extra attention or care. Whether it’s sticking to a routine, giving medication, or helping with basic training, I make sure your pet gets the same love and consistency they’re used to at home. I’m currently a stay at home mom to a 4 year old so I am available at any time of the day and any day or the week! When caring for pets, my main focus is making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable — whether they’re in my home or yours. I always take time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so I can keep things as familiar as possible. In your home, I respect your space and follow your instructions carefully — from feeding schedules to walks and playtime. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, along with updates and photos to keep you at ease. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with lots of love, snuggles, and supervision. I treat every animal like part of the family and make sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for at all times.

I do live in an apartment, but we have a large fenced in doggy park as well as large patches of grass around the buildings. I can easily crate your dog if needed (in my home or yours) and I can accommodate almost anything you may need!

Other dogs, I've worked with include: Australian Shepard,doberman, pug, yorkies, mini daschund, chaweenie, and golden doodles. I work from home so I have plenty of time to come care for pets, giving them plenty of attention, play time, proper care and more! I grew up with high energy dogs, and little dogs, so I understand how to care and exercise numerous breeds. There are several parks around me where I would take your dog so they get plenty of exercise!

About: As a pet sitter, I set myself apart from others by offering personalized, in-home care and attention to your furry friends. I have extensive experience working with dogs of all ages and breeds, from puppies to seniors. I also have some experience in puppy socialization and obedience, making me an excellent choice for new owners who need help establishing good habits from the start. Additionally, I'm comfortable with administering medication, providing specialized care for pets with medical conditions, and even assisting with in-home grooming needs. My unique approach combines love, patience, and attention to detail to ensure your pets receive the highest level of care while you're away. Pet care fits into my routine through the Rover app by allowing me to schedule walks, drop-ins, or sitting around my daily and weekly availability. I am available anytime, so I can accommodate pets whenever they need care. During each visit, I handle feeding, walks, playtime, and basic health checks. Weekly, I manage upcoming bookings, communicate with pet owners, update schedules, and make sure I have all necessary supplies. Using Rover helps me stay organized while providing consistent, reliable care for every pet. As a dedicated pet sitter, I pride myself on providing personalized care and attention to each furry friend in their own home. I understand that every pet is unique, and I tailor my services to meet the specific needs of each animal. From administering medication to special dietary requirements, I ensure that pets receive the highest level of care while their owners are away. With experience in training puppies and caring for senior pets, I'm confident in my ability to adapt to any situation. Whether it's a playful pup that needs exercise or a gentle senior that requires gentle handling, I provide loving and professional care to ensure their comfort and well-being.

“Holly is excellent in caring for my fur baby. Her notes are very detailed after each walk. I would recommend her to anyone who needs someone to care for their fur baby.”

About: In this house, pets are treated like family members. They get all the love, attention, and snuggles (of course) that they deserve. Experience includes puppy and senior care. Over the summer months, I’m not working allowing for open flexibility to tend to pet needs. During school months, I work from home with ample breaks and opportunities for frequent walks and attention. Dogs are always walked on leashes. There are plenty of grassy areas within my complex for walking with a dog park included. I provide particular and full attention to the pets needs and meet the desires established by the owner. I go over and beyond in showering love/attention and ensuring safety.

About: I have one cat (15) and one dog (14) and they are my world! I have experience with medication distribution, high anxiety pets, nonanimal friendly pets, and specialty diet pets. My dog eats raw food for her stomach condition and my cat is on prescription food for her kidneys, so I understand the importance of getting it right. I would love to be apart of your pets routine! I work from home and make my own schedule so I can be available almost anytime with a heads up! I have my own transportation as well. Having two senior pets, I understand the importance of safety. Any specific guidelines you would like me to follow, I’m happy to accommodate. Please let me know!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 17. Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets regularly. I’m currently taking care of my siblings taking them to school and I’m also taking care of our pets. I’m available through out the week and weekends I have plenty of yard to play fetch and for little walks and a quiet neighborhood.I also have two friendly dogs they are very playful!

“Anna is super sweet and Neville loved her instantly. She's definitely the best rover in Clemson. Couldn't recommend more.”

About: I have been around pets since I was 5 years old. It all started with a rabbit until we gained a cat and a dog. At one point in time, my house had 2 dogs and 11 cats (indoor/outdoor). I currently have 2 dogs and 1 cat (senior). Throughout the past 25 years, I have cared for all aged dogs and cats with various ailments and illnesses. I have provided medications, participated in obedience and behavior trainings, and own an abundance of toys and treats for dogs. I also own a harness, leash and catpack for our cat and am very familiar with both indoor and outdoor cats. Additionally, I have many cat toys ranging from cat scratch posts and shoe laces to electronic interactive toys and laser pointers, as well as catnip and treats. Most recently I lived and helped care for a 2-year-old rabbit, so I feel confident in my bunny skills again. Unfortunately, fish are not my forte and if anything more than feeding is required, I am probably not your gal. Currently, I work full time as a travel nurse which requires 3, 12-hour shifts a week, the other 4 days of the week I am free to love on and adventure with my pets and yours! Outside of work, I am what some would consider a gym rat and I love the outdoors. I get my two pups and cat out as much as possible, as long as the weather permits (they hate the rain). Otherwise, we are pretty consistent with playing and training inside the house. I am very flexible with scheduling around times that you may need and I have a car that provides reliable transportation. My husband works remotely with occasional odd-end jobs but when he's home, he is available to care for our fur babies so I can focus on yours! I have an open fully fenced in back yard, but just an 8-10 min drive from a park to walk and play. As previously mentioned, I have two dogs, one puppy-ish (18 mo) who would love to play with your dog, and an older dog who can be a bit grumpy but well-behaved when mom/dad are around (can also be separated in a separate area of the house if that is more comfortable for you), and a cat that stays primarily in his own area of the house. We have extra leashes, plenty of poop bags, lots of toys, and even more love for your furry friends.

About: Hi! I’m Sarah, lifelong dog lover, professional dog walker, and proud pup parent to Greylee, my sweet 7 year old black Lab and the absolute highlight of my life. Dogs have always been part of my world, and caring for them is second nature to me. What sets me apart is my experience with senior pups and newborn litters. I’ve spent years lovingly administering medication to elderly dogs with special health needs, ensuring they’re comfortable, safe, and thriving on every walk or visit. I’ve also had the joy and responsibility of helping deliver puppies and providing attentive aftercare for both mom and pups for up to four weeks, from warm snuggles to round the clock watchfulness. Whether your dog is full of zoomies or needs a gentle, patient hand, I’m here to walk with love, care, and the same devotion I give to my own. Every pup in my care is treated like family, because to me, they are. 💛 I’m available for walks and pet visits every Saturday through Monday, with just a couple of exceptions:     •    On Sunday mornings, I’m committed to church and available after 1 PM.     •    On Monday mornings, I take time for mental health and self-care, so I’m also available after 1 PM. Outside of those times, I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your dog’s needs, whether it’s a morning stroll, an afternoon potty break, or an evening cuddle visit. Just let me know what works for you, and I’ll show up with patience, love, and lots of tail wags! 🐾 When I care for pets in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I give to the animals themselves. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first, but I also understand that your home is a personal and trusted space. I make sure to:     •    Follow your home and pet care routines exactly as instructed     •    Clean up after myself and your pet (muddy paws, accidents, food, etc.)     •    Keep doors locked, alarms set, and your privacy protected     •    Never invite guests or cross personal boundaries, your home is yours alone I aim to bring a calm, respectful presence into your home so that your pet feels safe and happy, and you feel total peace of mind. You can trust that I’ll care for both your pet and your space with gentleness, reliability, and integrity.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I could walk! During my entire childhood our home was always filled with dogs - after all, a house is not a home without a dog :) I love all kinds of dogs - from little to big, dogs who like to lounge and dogs who like to run around all the time. I enjoy snuggling dogs and giving ear scratches, but also throwing a ball or going for a long walk. I am an elementary teacher on summer break, so I am available almost any time or any day during the summer! The only time I have blocked out is 8:30-11:30am on Sundays. I have a large fenced in yard. My dog stays inside most of the time, unless I am home. He has free range of the house while I am gone.

“We appreciate Kaeleigh being available to help us with Tucker on such short notice, especially on the weekend and following Thanksgiving! She was very communicative and receptive to Tucker and his needs, letting me know that he didn't seem interested in walking, but that she would play with him inside instead to better suit his mood that day. I'm grateful for her time and animal intuition!”
