Dog Walking Indian Trail

About: Since being a teenager, I’ve been paid to house sit and do drop ins for the pets of friends and family, in addition to growing up with a family dog, Darla. After Darla eventually passed from old age, in 2018 my family adopted Millie, a beagle-mix who is a lover of walks and still full of surprises after almost seven years! Now that I’m back at school and away from my own dog, I’d love to help support pet owners who need dog walking services or drop in visits! I am currently a student at UNCG, and have class on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. I’m still available on those days during specific times, but am almost always available on Wednesdays, and the weekend (FriSatSun). I think an important part of building trust with a client is sending them regular updates such as photos or videos of their pet(s) in addition to a report on how they’ve been doing. Trusting others to care for your pet is hard, especially if you don’t know the sitter or walker personally. Things like that are how I try to ensure that a client knows they are getting the service they paid for and that their pet(s) are well looked after.

About: I have taken care of and pet sat mat dogs of different sizes from a big German shepherd to a tinny little Chihuahua so there is no dog to big or to small for me to take care of I just graduated high school and am applying to college but I won’t be able to go until next year so until then I’ll be free the whole year unless my family needs me When it comes to taking care of any pets even my own I make sure to keep them on the same schedule they are used to as to make sure they don’t get stressed I also make sure to set alarms for set feeding times of any animal I watch over as well as playing with them and taking them out to use the bath room as needed I also will make sure that if I pet sit over night at someone’s house that the house will be perfectly clean when they come back and that there animal will be happy no matter what.

“Erica is AMAZING. She is so good with our dog and definitely keeps him active! She really maintains our training regimen and enforces what we’ve been working on with the dog. She’s our new go-to for walks and exercise!”

“Lilli was great! Arrived early and communicated any questions or concerns.”

About: I love pets so much because they make me happy and I currently can’t afford any so I made this account to spend more time with pets and help account money for my college debt I am a student in college and I cannot afford my own pet so I will be able to spend time caring for pets as I love them I will spend time with the pet all day long as I just love animals and I will make sure they are safe and cared for

“Carly is very conscientious, arrives on time & takes lots of photos while she & Jasper are out for a walk. I will definitely use her again.”

About: Years ago, my mother and I owned a boarding kennel and I was a professional groomer. Now I am semi-retired and loving spending time with furry friends! I am familiar with all breeds and love them all! We have always had a pet in our home and would love to provide care while you have to be away. I currently work outside the home for a partial day on Mondays. Other than errands and appointments, I am home all day to interact with your fur baby! Should an emergency come up, I am available. All our furry guests are treated like family. We have a large fenced in yard with no steps for the older fur babies. We own a cat that pretty much keeps to herself. We are good with pets of all ages and understand they all need different levels of care. We are empty nesters, so have the time and energy to keep up with any needs your pet may have. With the exception of Mondays, someone is home all day to provide personal care and supervision for your pet. Mondays Alice works outside the home for a partial day and pets would need to be left alone for 4-6 hours, or she would need to be able to bring your pet (only one) to work with her. Both Alice and Don love animals and provide a nurturing and loving environment for your pet in their home with regular potty breaks in their fenced in back yard.

“Hope was incredible with our little one! We traveled over the holiday and were a little worried as this was the first time we would be away during the Christmas holiday. Hope was consistent in communication and sent the best pictures. We highly recommend booking with Hope!!”

About: I have cared for many pets over the past 30 years (dogs in the past decade). I am also a foster for the Humane Society of Union County. Pets hold a very special place in our hearts and in our lives, and often times help is required. I am here to offer help so that you, your family, and pets can all thrive. Extra love and praises are always included! It would be a privilege for me to care for your furry family members! ❤️ I am open to help during all weekdays, while my kids are busy at school. This would be M/T/Th 9-5, and W/F 9-1. Flexibility with other days and times can be worked out if communicated and scheduled enough in advance. During the day I have a very quiet house, as well as 2 acres, easy nearby walking avenues, and crates, if your dog requires to be crated at certain times. For cats, I have plenty of comfy nap spots, as well as a litter box for use. 🐶 🐱 🩷

About: I work from home and would love an excuse to get up from my desk and what better excuse than to get some puppy and dog cuddles while also getting exercise by walking. I currently have a corporate work from home job that requires me to be at a desk. This type of schedule fits into my routine because it allows me to visit pets before starting work, at lunch or breaks, and also after work. My schedule is very flexible that I can meet you where you need it. I am very detail oriented and a huge pet lover at heart so when I am visiting your house, I respect the house rules and follow instructions to a T. I also am very high energy due to ADHD and am a great partner for fetch and walks.

“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!”

About: Although I don’t have any pets of my own (only chickens) I love all dogs!! And I did have a family dog growing up that we sadly lost. I pet sit for my friends and boyfriend occasionally and love to go on long walks! I am a part time student and also work as a certified pharmacy technician. Whenever I am free I like to go on walks and enjoy nature! Your dogs safety is just as important to you as it is to me! I carry pepper spray w me just in case and stay off my phone to avoid any distractions.

“Thank you Jamie for everything. I appreciate you going above and beyond, especially you’re willingness to come over and help me get Myles into the vehicle when I had to take him to get groomed, and this was before you were scheduled to do his walks. I know he will miss you.”

About: I’ve loved and taken care of dogs my whole life. Dogs usually gravitate to me out of anyone else in the room. I’m a super active person so I am able to match the playful energy with doggies. I have a relatively flexible schedule and am able to stay overnight multiple nights if needed. I do sometimes have to leave for periods at a time but I never stay away from my animals too long. I have 3 dogs of my own, as well as one that routinely comes over to stay for week long periods. I have my dogs sleep in the bed with me so basically I am super comfortable with any furry friends. I feed morning and night as well as treats when appropriate.

“Erin has been wonderful with Archie! She has been on prompt and kind in walking him a few times a week. Certainly recommend!”
