Dog Walking Highland

About: Thanks for clicking! Let me tell you about myself. I love meeting new pets! I’ve worked with puppies, cats, and dogs of all sizes. I’m comfortable with reactive dogs and senior dogs as well. It’s so important to me to learn their individual needs to make their experiences with me as comfortable and safe as possible until their people come home! Please keep me aware of any medications, vitamins, or special attention that your fur baby may need while you’re away. I love living in a quiet country home because of the peace it gives to dogs while on their stay with me. Give your pet the chance to relax on my fenced in porch and enjoy watching the world go by! As a business owner, my schedule is very flexible. Because I’m self employed, I have more time for my dog at home (and yours, too!). I have one small dog at home to keep your pet company! I have a small and a large crate available if you prefer for your pet to be crated. I have a large front and back yard for your pet to explore while leashed.

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 have found that dogs prefer to be in their own envirement when their owner's are away, so most of my jobs are from repeat clients and referrals for in home stays. Your pet stays in their own environment which is less stressful. As requested by you, we go on walks, mini hikes, car rides, sleep in bed with them, just lounge and watch TV, administer special diets or medicines, drop off at another relative, etc. I am flexible. Your house stays safe with someone home, mail and newspapers picked up, etc. One client always has contractors over for their large remodel. I first became a dog sitter for my 2 grandpups, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels a boy and a girl. My daughter may be the most demaning, pickiest, list of rules person in the world. Her dogs are her children and I know yours are too. So please if you feel bad about leaving them, if you have a weird request I will understand. Since I am semi-retired I have more flexibility as well. I have had dogs who needed me to sit on the floor with them while they eat, want to sleep in same bed as me, constantly want to sit on my lap or next to me. I understand the power of treats, their special toys and love! It's stressful when the owners are away, but I am here to fill that void. Rest assured, I can send you updates as needed. Whether it's a daily overview from the visits on email, quick text and/or picture from the visit, quick phone call, just let me know. If you need to meet up prior to engagement we can, If you have a longer term request we can work out a discount as well. Let me know how I can help you out and make this less stressful for you and your loved one!

About: I have been boarding and dog walking for the past 5-years, mostly for neighbors back home when I lived in Maryland. We just moved into Gowensville | Landrum | Travelers Rest area -and we are very remote on 6 acres on Glassy mountain. We are joining Rover, hoping to help us make new furry friends. Our clients had deep trust in us, and we never let anyone down. Each client became a consistent client, mainly because their dogs would get so excited to see us or come to our home. We had one client that used to text and ask if Penny could come to the spa! We work hard to understand your pup, their regular schedule and favorite things to do, so we can maintain as much consistency as possible for our new furry friend. My husband is an excellent trainer, he has taught many of our client's pups to walk nicely on a leash, to heal, whoa, lets go, and ready up! My husband used to show train and show our great pyrenees for many many years. We both regularly get down on the ground and have play time with our boarders. I love taking pics of the pups and sending them off to their parents, so they have visual peace of mind seeing how happy their furry family member is doing. We will provide a short report via text each day. When dogs come to stay, we keep them on what is their normal schedule. Each day has 2 play times, a nice 30 min walk, 1-1 attention in their bed room prior to bed filled with lots of love (I love giving head rubs and reading stories). We will feed | Medicines | Relief time as per your instruction. We are at our best with friendly, non aggressive dogs. For dog walking, I will go to your home or office pick-up your dog, then head out. I can walk your pup, and | or have play time with your pet in your yard. If your friend needs lots of exercise I am very happy to take your pup on a hike of the distance of your choice for a longer visit. We are active, but retired. We have lots of flexibility. Boarding can happen any day/night you can drop off and pick-up at a time that works for you. The more notice you provide, the better I can plan around your pup's needs. I generally hike 4-6 miles 4 days a week. So if your friend wants to join me they are welcome to...weather dependent. Our home is pet friendly, with lots of space and the opportunity to keep fury friends separate when needed. Each boarded dog will have their own bedroom, where they will also be fed privately (don't forget to bring your pup's food (provide feeding schedule), feed bowls, medicine (include directions), any toys, and feel free to bring their favorite bed). The dogs are also allowed on the bed in their room. We have a large basement gym area where we create play time when the weather isn't cooperating.

About: I am a mom to 2 humans and 2 dogs. ❤️ I have grown up around dogs my entire life and have attended vet tech school and was also a mobile dog groomer! I am reliable, hard working and will take great care of your fur babies. 😊 Family, neighbors and friends have relied on me to check in on their dogs multiple times and to take them for a nice walk! I am currently working full time, but I am available Friday - Sundays! Also available weekday mornings from 6AM - 7AM. Thank you for trusting me! I will gladly find the safest routes near your house to walk your dog (far away from busy roads), or whatever route you prefer! For stop ins, I will gladly feed/water/play and crate your dog if needed. 😊

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 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

“Breana is a wonderful companion for your fur baby with a resonable price. She is great with last minuet walks and will show up on a dime. Great for those days when the pooch needs a walk and you can’t find the time to get out.”

About: I’ve taken care of family pets for as long as I can remember. From baby to senior, I’ve taken care of dogs and cats. I currently have a bearded dragon so I have no issue with “exotic” animals. Family friends have let me pet sit. I walk family dogs at least twice a day depending on energy levels. I’m currently working part-time so my hours aren’t as flexible, I will require a minimum for 2 1/2 weeks prior to booking a stay so that I can minimize conflict between your pets and my work schedule :) I would be capable of feeding, and walking the pets. I can clean out litter boxes or enclosures. Play time so that the pet could release some energy. I could put the animal in a crate if it’s required after a certain time.

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 and Greer areas. I am currently taking the summer off from working in healthcare full time. Until then, I am working in the hospitality industry and my schedule is rather flexible- leaving plenty of time to care for your furry ones! ***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.

About: I have been housesitting/dog sitting for about 5 years now, and I LOVE it! I love to show the dogs I’m watching special attention and spoil them ever so slightly. When I’m housesitting while dog sitting, that’s a bonus! Not only do I spoil the dog, but also the dog owners. I enjoy making sure the home is nice and tidy before the homeowners come home. I’ve never had any troubles with any dogs before - we were just meant to be! When you need a dog/house sitter, you can rely on me to care for your fur baby as much as you would! I currently am working full-time through Rover, so your pets will be well taken care of and played with. I grew up having a dog, so remembering to let them out and feed them is practically second nature for me! If your dog has a special diet or feeding time, no problem! I take care of the pet as if I’m their owner, showing special care and love while you are away. If needed, I do have a fenced in back yard at my home to take the dog to play around. Even though the dog is not mine, I always make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re gone.

About: I have grown up with dogs, specifically pit bulls and Shepard mixes. I have personally trained some of those dogs via training classes and personal information. I have dog sat for friends and family in the past, both overnight and for a few hours. I have experience with all dogs big and small! I can’t wait to meet you and your pups! I am a student that’s off for summer break! I am completely available at this time whenever you need me to take care of your fur baby! I am very flexible! However you wish you pet to be cared for I will do, whatever specific needs your pups need I will do. I will respect your home and leave the space as it was when I arrived. Cleaning up after myself and your pets.

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.

“Reagan is the best! She went out of her way to grab a new collar for us when our pups couldn’t be found. She’s attentive and reliable! We couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: I grew up with animals my whole life. I have 3 cats at home but love taking care of the pups! I have been helping my friend's with dog sitting over the years. I love playing with them and caring for them! I'm in school full time and have a couple of my courses online. My schedule is fairly flexible and I can work around different times. Whether that be early morning or later nights. I take caring for pets very seriously. I'm attentive to their behavior changes and possible ailments. I'm not one to sit on my phone during my visits. I engage, play, and love on the pets while I am there.

About: As a pet sitter, what sets me apart is my deep passion for animals, personalized approach to care, and commitment to trust and reliability. I treat every pet as if they were my own, taking time to learn their unique routines, personalities, and needs. Whether it's administering medication, caring for senior or special-needs pets, or just providing lots of love and playtime, I go above and beyond to ensure each animal feels safe and happy in their own environment. My clients appreciate the peace of mind they get from my consistent communication, including regular updates and photos, as well as my attention to detail and respect for their home. With years of hands-on experience and a reputation for dependability, I strive to build lasting relationships with both pets and their people. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, reliable care throughout the week. I’m available every day for pet sitting, walks, or drop-in visits, with the exception of Tuesday evenings from 6 to 8 PM when I attend a night class. Outside of that time, I’m fully available and committed to giving pets the attention and care they need, whether it’s early morning, midday, or evening. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment that meets each animal’s unique needs. At home, I share my space with my friendly dog Luna and six lizards, so I’m well-versed in caring for both furry and exotic pets. I maintain clean enclosures, monitor temperatures and humidity levels for reptiles, and ensure all pets have the right diet, enrichment, and daily interaction. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their routine—feeding, walking, playing, administering any medications, and offering plenty of love and attention. I also provide regular updates to keep pet parents at ease while they're away. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved—no matter where they are.

About: I have been around dogs all my life. I have been through every stage of life with my dogs. From puppyhood to an unexpected pregnancy all the way through the final days. The time we spend with our dogs/pets is a blessing everyday so why not spoil them. I mostly work from home, my schedule as of right now is flexible. I do have a mobile massage business. I would be happy to fit in pet visits during my down times. I am comfortable giving medication and cleaning up accidents. I can go on longer walks or quick potty breaks. I don't even mind throwing the ball or frisby.
