Dog Walking Irmo

About: I have experience working in animal rescue, fostering, basic training, and complex medical maintenance for both dogs and cats. I have fostered over 100 dogs in ten years and owned two heart dogs and three beloved cats, all who had complicated medical conditions that required daily management. Pets are family to me and deserve the best care and consideration. I am currently on sabbatical and looking to fill my days with happy time with pets though walks, play, and just quality time. I’m available every day 11 am to 6 pm. Two days notice is required for both dog walking or dog check-in requests. I have a fenced in back yard and crates, along with dog safe toys, doggy gates, and non slip mats throughout the house for better traction for older dogs.

About: Every pet has a unique personality and routine. I take the time to learn what makes your pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved so their time away from you feels as stress-free as possible. I am a remote freelancer who works my own schedule so I am completely flexible in my pet care schedule. Whether your fur-babies are independent kids who need only a daily walk, or they're needy lil' nellies who want to go potty umpteen times a day. I'm a reliable source for care. I provide care exclusively in my clients' homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I know that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their schedule, preferences, and personality to make their time away from you as stress-free as possible. As a pet owner myself, I understand that some pets can be anxious, reactive, or take a little longer to warm up to new people. I'm patient, attentive, and respectful of each pet's individual needs, whether that means energetic playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking closely to their routine. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and loved while you're away, and to give you peace of mind through regular updates and photos.

About: I stand out as a pet sitter because I have experience with a wide range of breeds. I understand animal behavior well, so I provide reliable, compassionate care tailored to each pet's needs. Pet care is part of my everyday rhythm: structured feeding times, bathroom breaks, exercise, and play woven throughout the day to maintain a safe, consistent, and happy environment “Because Your Pet Deserves Better Than Low‑Price Care.” We ensure your pet's safety throughout their stay and will provide photos upon request, as well as daily updates. We prioritize your pet's health and safety and are confident they will enjoy their time with us.

“The best dog sitter I have ever had! My dog immediately loved her. She even got my dog to walk when she was scared by loud fireworks. I highly recommend Lakotah and hope to book her again in the future.”

“Lido loves Hannah! He is so excited to see her every day! I cannot mention her name before she arrives because he get himself into a tizzy! 😂”

“Took great care of my crazy girls while we went on vacation with our newborn!! Dogs really seemed to enjoy her presence and was very nice to not have to worry about them”

“So great to have my boy taken care of while I was recuperating from surgery earlier today. Lindsay & Aaron did a great job with B2K and also one of my own client dogs today. Being a Rover walker myself, we can be super picky about our fur babies and who takes care of them. I felt totally comfortable with their knowledge and the way the connect with the pets. Highly recommend them both to care and walk your fur footed friend. Thanks, Lindsey and Aaron.”

About: I have had pets my whole life. I currently have two cats. In college I worked on a farm and cared for cattle, chickens, goats, pigs, and alpaca. I am currently a zoo keeper and have been in the field for three years. I have cared for reptiles, small mammals, some birds, and larger hoof stock. I have experience giving medications, preparing special diets, training, and observing animal health/behavior. I have worked with young and senior animals. My weekends are Tuesday and Wednesday, so anytime of day I am free. On days that I work I am able to care for your pets before or after. If needed I can also check on your pets during lunch. I am great at following instructions. When going into your home or staying the night I will provide the best care I can. I will make sure to respect your home and your pets!

About: Hey there! My name is Shae and I think I'd be a great option for you to consider as a dog friend. The past six or so years I've worked, managed, and assisted multiple different rescue organizations and have learned so much about the dogs in my care that it truly has become a profession. Before that I was a regular dog boarder/walker in Washington state on Rover & Wag which is where my reviews start from. Parents used to participate in world shows with our GSD growing up so I had young and immediate exposure to working lines and I've also had a stint working with wildlife between gigs/states. Ive worked in a spay/neuter clinic as a tech, completed animals CPR, and Ive managed animal transports which basically means I drove dogs who are out of time here in the south into the north for a better chance at life. While on transport with me, it is my job to walk them, care for them, and soothe them on the long, stressful** journey. Now Im taking care of my grandpa so I am always home. *Able to administer oral medication, and injections *Comfortable with most special cases (behaviourally or medically) *Able to care for seniors, or sense-impaired *Typically will gage health, comfort, & energy level and do playgroups; large w large and small w small dogs only. If you do not want you're pup interacting w others, please specify as I am able to keep everyone separated via sections of the home and yard rotations. Though typically when grouped, they have in-out access for 85% of the day but are supervised 100% of that time as my working space is indoor/outdoor. If multi-boarding (usually just around holidays), I do crate overnight (indoors) roughly 10pm to 7am. Multiple dogs from same home, or pups that find crates stressful, that are not destructive when alone can sleep in the guest bedroom. . Overall I'm pretty flexible and do this for the love of dogs, so if you have concerns, questions, or preferences, please feel free to shoot me a message! My pups are my world and I understand how stressful leaving them can be so I send lots of pictures and do my best to show them theyre loved while puppy-parents are away. Home full time caring for my grandfather, so dogs are roaming and playing most of the day. Longest theyll spend without outside time is overnight, otherwise its usually no more than 2hrs. Without being too curt, I ensure the dog is comfortable, safe, fed, and loved. I think this is too complicated of a question to answer in a brief box as all dogs vary and require different amounts of affection, interaction outside, medicine, et cetera et cetera.. But I am one of those people who calls my dogs my kids and I do believe they as a species deserve so much more.

“Aubriana was absolutely wonderful with our dog! He gets so excited for their walks, and it’s really helped him calm down at night having his midday walk. He’s a new shelter pup that has some stubbornness and separation anxiety, but she’s so calm and patient with him. Highly recommend Aubriana, and will be continuing to book with her!”

“Gracie was a phenomenal sitter! Gracie was a pleasure to work with. She was great with communicating and reliable. She did such an excellent job taking care of my Dasher that I am hoping to get her again for the future.”

About: I love dogs and have always had a deep love for animals. My dogs have brought me so much joy over the years, and I love giving that same care and affection back. I’m an avid animal lover, stay connected with rescue communities, and truly understand how much pets mean to their families. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or hosting small dogs in my clean, organized home in a safe neighborhood, I would care for your pup like my own. I have lots of love to give and would be so excited to spend time with your precious pup! I work for myself, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide pet sitting and care on a regular basis. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and seeing their friendly faces always makes my day. I have a friendly pup named Layla. She is great with other pups. They love to play! She has had many dogs in the home, goes to the dog park regularly as well. Crates are highly encouraged for Dogs safety when we are gone. You just never know In a new environment. I have a medium sized one if needed.

About: Love living in the area, I have always enjoyed spending time outside in all seasons. On any kind of day, I would love to give your family member a walk/run in the neighborhood or at a nearby park/path or whichever they prefer to get some fresh year and exploration through the smells/sights. For the playful pup, I love to run around and play with them until the sun goes down. I have experienced many years with easy and difficult dogs as being a pet owner myself, finding love and care for all creatures all life from dogs all the way to my 3-year-old goldfish. I can not wait to meet your furry family member and give them all the pets and love they fully deserve!

“Kade was very nice and understanding when I needed to move our walk back 30 min, which I really appreciated! He went above and beyond in offering to arrive early to meet our dogs, and was more than capable in walking both of them even though one can be very reactive. Our dogs seemed to really like him and enjoy their walk with him too!”

About: I grew up with all sorts of animals, but don’t have the schedule flexibility to have my own full time. By providing services for folks who also don’t I get to care for animals and help people. It’s the best of both worlds I work from home two days a week where I am flexible to help out with daily needs and most weekends I stay around the area and am opening to offering my home and help to those that travel and need someone to look after their four legged family members I do not have a crate. If one is required please provide it for overnight stays. Otherwise I’m happy to get up and stroll so your pets can get the exercise they need throughout the days

About: Hi! My name is Lyndsey, and I’ve been working professionally with dogs since 2017 as a full-time dog groomer. Caring for animals is something I do every day, and I have experience handling pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience, I understand that every animal has unique needs. I currently share my home with both dogs and cats, so caring for pets is a big part of my daily life. My professional grooming experience has taught me how to safely handle nervous, shy, excited, and high-energy pets while helping them feel comfortable and secure. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), litter box cleaning, and plenty of attention and affection. I understand how important routines are to pets, and I do my best to keep them comfortable while their owners are away. I work full-time as a dog groomer Monday through Friday during daytime hours. Because of my schedule, I am best suited for morning visits, evening visits, overnight stays, weekend care, and holiday care. I always communicate clearly with pet parents and provide updates so you can feel confident your pets are receiving excellent care. My goal is to treat every pet like one of my own and provide dependable, loving care while you’re away I’m a full time dog groomer, currently working 9-5 Monday-Friday.
