“Thank you again. We will be happy to work with you again soon”

Thomas M.

About: I have had cats and dogs in my life since I was little. I have always had a strong passion for animal care and showing all animals the love they deserve. I have put in volunteer hours at the local county fair within the barn, caring for and feeding the farm animals. I have also completed a trading course in farm animal care and veterinary medicine. I myself have two dogs and two cats and they are my whole world and I know your pets are yours too! They shouldn't have to be alone and you shouldn't have to worry about them, so let me ease both your minds! I am currently unemployed elsewhere so my schedule is extremely flexible. Mondays are the only day that I have personal events so feel free to message me for booking! I will first and foremost respect your home when I check on your pets, I am only there for the pets and whatever the pets need unless you specifically tell me otherwise for whatever reason. I will of course ease your pet if they seem stressed, take them out for necessary exercise and potty time, feed them as needed, administer whatever medication they may need at that time, and of course clean up any messes that could be made. I want to make sure they get proper socialization and exercise while they await your return, they won’t feel lonely as long as I can help it!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was really little from them being born to them being seniors. I currently do work in a kennel so I have been with all types of dogs from really sweet puppies to pretty spicy adult dogs even some senior ones. I also have experience with dogs that have to have medication in the morning or are you at night and dog that are deaf and blind. I truly love any dog so it’s very hard for one to scare me away. so because I do work at a dog kennel I have been around dogs as small as 5 pounds all the way up to dogs that are 160 pounds. Monday, Wednesday- Friday I am available after 3pm but Tuesdays, Saturday, & Sunday I am available all day long for walks, house sitting, & I can also offer some grooming services like Bath, Nails, Paw Pads, and Desheds. So I do work at the dog kennel part-time. I’ll mostly be available on the weekends all day Saturday, Sundays, Tuesday. I’ll also be will be available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights though So if you would have me over at your place to watch your dogs, I tried to make sure I have a very open communication with my customers. That way they know that what is going on with their dogs that way if there’s any problems, they are notified right away. I do like sending photos out throughout the day. That way you get to see them enjoying their time playing around that way you know what they’re up to in their day.

“We have used Talen to walk our senior boy Marco for several months now. She is punctual, reliable, kind, and always gets the job done above and beyond. We are grateful to have her help!!”

About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life and genuinely love caring for them. I currently have five pets of my own—three dogs and two cats—that I’ve raised and cared for, so I understand the responsibility and attention pets need every day. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, as well as caring for cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know every pet has their own routine and personality, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life because I care for my own three dogs and two rescued cats every day. I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, dog walking, house sitting in your home, or care for your pet in my home if that’s what works best for you. I do my best to be flexible with scheduling and will make sure your pet gets the love, attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I will follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special care they need. I have a large yard, and while it isn’t fenced, I’m happy to take dogs outside on a leash for potty breaks, walks, and exercise. If your pet stays in my home, they’ll be treated like one of my own and receive plenty of love, supervision, and attention. If I care for your pet in your home, I’ll respect your home, follow your instructions carefully, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your furry family member is doing.

About: I have lived with and been around dogs my whole life. I have experience in dog sitting and dog walking, and I am always up for helping people and especially their furry friends! I also have had four cats who were very opposite from being cuddly to being a bit aggressive. However I still love those fuzzballs deeply. Finally I had three parakeets who were very loud but so fun to have around. I am currently in Taylor’s South Carolina. I am 18 years old and currently do not have a job so I am extremely flexible with my schedule. I can really do any day of the week. I like make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I follow all routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I also give pets lots of attention, playtime, and affection so they feel relaxed and happy. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and always keep things clean and organized. Lastly, of course have fun with the pet and give them lots of love.

About: I have experience in dog training with all ages and sizes. I also have experience with horses and exotic animals. I have been pet sitting since high school and have a lot of experience with dog behavior. I’m a stay at home dog mom so I’m always at home with my dog or out running errands! I do go out of town often so message me to confirm! I ensure safety and care as if it’s my own. I know how it feels to not have a sitter or know them. I can do walks, play time, and even just being there for comfort.

“We feel so lucky to have found Cara! From the very first walk, it was clear that she genuinely cares about Kevin and treats him like one of her own. Kevin absolutely lights up when she arrives! Cara is reliable, communicative and always goes the extra mile - whether sending the sweetest photo updates, or taking the time to give him a little extra love and play. Knowing he’s in such caring hands brings us so much peace of mind. It’s such a comfort knowing Kevin is not just walked, but truly cared for. Cara’s kindness, energy, and attention to detail make all the difference. We can’t imagine a better person to trust with our Kevin! Thanks Cara 🩷”

About: Hey there! I’m Katelyn. Thank you for considering me to take care of your furry companion(s). I have ample experience caring for and loving on: dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, birds, rodents, turtles and rabbits. This includes pups and kitties of all sizes, temperaments, ages and health statuses. I am Fear Free certified through my continued volunteer work with a local humane society. Fear Free is a nationwide initiative across the animal welfare community that offers online educational courses on handling fear, anxiety, and stress in dogs and cats through evidence based strategies. My time at the humane society consists of but not limited to: walking dogs, providing enrichment opportunities for the animals, assisting the staff with adoptions, and staying behind the scenes to tend to the back of the house tasks that keep the facility up and running. My approach is to treat each animal as an individual and get to know each other according to their unique personality and preferences. Positive reinforcement and enrichment opportunities are my jam! My experience ranges from dog walking to extended period pet sitting to fostering both dogs and cats to assisting behavior teams at animal shelters/rescues. I am also well versed in daily upkeep tasks required for barn animals. I’d be happy to elaborate upon request. I split my time between the Tryon, Greer, and surrounding areas. I work full time Monday-Friday in the veterinary industry in Columbus, NC. ***For house sitting bookings, I am able to watch your pets in your home only at this time.*** I believe animals thrive on routine and keeping their days as normal as possible when their person/family are away. Whatever their typical day to day looks like is how I will care for them! Safety is something I take very seriously and is of utmost importance.

“Anna did an amazing job walking my 2 dogs!! She made sure to put on their harnesses for each walk and sometimes even their coats when it got very cold! As we talked about, Anna made sure to adjust the lengthen of the walks based on the puppy dogs energy and cold weather!! I would definitely ask Anna to walk my 2 dogs again!!”

About: Animals have been apart of my life since birth. I have had the pleasure of taking in and mending injured wildlife. I have experience with taking a care of senior dogs and cats. I love animals and enjoy spoiling them as much as I can! I own and operate a business and do that throughout the week, and would like to spend time helping and hanging out with animals when I am not doing that. I have a large yard that gives animals a chance to run and play while being away from main roads. I keep a close eye and there are several places close to bring pets to walk and explore the outdoors!

About: I have cared for over 30 some animals since i was a little kid, from dogs and cats to goats, chickens, ducks, fish, and even a pigeon. I’ve been intimately involved with training multiple dogs and have been the sole walker and caretaker to many of them. Currently home for college, I am free basically 24/7 and prepared to make caring for your pets my focus. If need be, I am prepared to help out on short notice. I make sure to be very active with pets and make sure they get all the walking and playing they need. I am receptive and observant of their wants and needs.

About: I have taken care and had animals of my own for my whole life and loved all the the time I have with them, Family Focused Pet care that you can count on all the time, Up to do anything This will be my main occupation so I will have plenty of time to play and spend time with your animals and make them feel as comfortable as possible I have a large yard with lots of room to run and I also have 2 very friendly dogs that love to play and should keep your pet company, we also live in a gated community with nice areas to walk/run your pets

About: I’ve grown up with high energy Aussies since I was a kid. From the moment I moved to a pet friendly home and schedule I started on the Aussie pack I have now. I have trained two dogs from puppies and rescued two from unfortunate situations. Therefore, I understand and can assist in potty and leash training, socialization, or a good old fashioned game of fetch. I’ve always loved working with dogs and seeing the joy they get from just being with you. In college I often volunteered with animal shelters to assist in socializing dogs. While I was active duty military I relied on my dog sitter to ensure my pups were getting all of their energy out and getting all the love with my unpredictable schedule. Therefore, I know how important it is to have someone who you can trust with your pups. I will strive to treat your fur babies just like my own because they’re our family! I recently retired from active duty military and am taking some much needed down time with my 4 dogs. I am available Monday-Saturday and would love to fit your fur babies into the routine! I have a large fenced backyard, I believe in positive reinforcement, and have 4 excited friendly pups who would love to share their space and toys with any new friends that want to play!

About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes. Family, friends, and others have entrusted me with their pet's care. I am looking forward to doing pet care full time. I have a very flexible schedule and I would be available anytime of the week. While caring for pets in clients' homes, I make sure they are fed and hydrated, get plenty of playtime, potty breaks when needed, and I can administer medications. I will also give them all the attention they need and deserve.

About: I am a 27 year old husband and father of 2 boys. I am a veterinary nurse who works with dogs and cats everyday. I love what I do and consider myself lucky to be able to make a living working with animals. I know that most owners feel the same way as i do about their dogs/cats when they have to leave them in others hands. Owners are going to worry when they are away and it is up to the person responsible for their pet to make them feel at ease. When your pet is with me you can know that they are in good hands and that I will do everything I can to make them feel safe. I know all dogs are different and some are more frightened when their owners are away. Some dogs need more affection than others while some just want you to throw them the ball. I take pride in making them feel safe and as if they were with their best friend. I promise you i will keep your pet safe and sound. Even more than that i promise you that them and I will have fun! Thank you. I work Monday through Friday with Thursdays off. I can always come by in the mornings, on lunch, and afternoon and nights. I can be as flexible as needed. I will always keep an eye on the pet and make sure they are seen as if their own human was there. I take pride that I have worked in the vet field for over a decade and pretty much grew up in it

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up caring for our family dog, geese and ducks! Lately, i've committed myself to helping dogs and cats feel loved, safe and secure while their pet parents are away. I have worked at a local veterinary clinic in their boarding department caring for overnight and long term clients. I previously worked at a local animal shelter for a year, where I learned the true responsibility of taking care of animals in all shapes and sizes. Senior animals have such a special place in my heart! Animal happiness and safety is a main priority of mine. I am looking to take care of your animals part time and as needed! I have plenty of experience with all kinds of dogs and cats! I have 3 dogs currently, a shepherd mix, husky mix and a mini pin doberman alongside 2 cats! We have a large fenced in yard which allows us to let our dogs get their energy out and enjoy some time alone outside, while we continue to keep a close eye on them. The dogs are never out of my sight, I know how mischievous they tend to be.
