Dog Walkers in Johns Island, SC

About: I’ve cared for all breeds, sizes, & ages since I was a kid. I absolutely love caring for animals and understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your four-legged family members while you’re away. I work full time during the week but am able to board your pets on the weekends! I do have 2 dogs of my own (neutered male golden retriever & spayed female GSD/lab mix) who are very friendly with other dogs. I have a fenced in backyard and I live in a great neighborhood in which I can take your pet on walks. I will be able to care for your pet according to your instructions.

About: Let me help you have a relaxing day away from home knowing your pet is in great hands. I’ve grown up around multiple breeds of dogs from different backgrounds. I’ve also been sitting and walking since I was 10. I have experience with rescues, puppies, seniors, multiple dogs and everything in between I am free all day and night on weekends and during the day weekdays. I can clear any schedule to fit the needs of your animal. I can cater to your animal and homes needs. I have experience with giving medicine and making sure even the most rambunctious animals are safe both indoors and out.

DOGS And I love caring for small, medium or large dogs of all ages and up to 75 lbs. I provide drop-ins, walks, and of course, plenty of play time for your four-legged family members! I'm also Certified by the American Red Cross in Pet CPR and Pet First Aid! (See the certificate in my photo gallery.) DOGS & CATS I care for your pets like they’re my own. American Red Cross Pet CPR and First Aid Certified! I am available seven days a week for drop-ins or walking/play time for both dogs and kitties. I am 100% available during the day and evenings for drop-ins or walking services. DOGS & CATS DOGS DOG WALKING Includes a minimum of 30 minutes at your home with your pet, with outdoor walking time, play time (indoors or out), and feeding time all conducted within that 30-minute time frame. Additional time increments of 30 minutes can be added at the time of booking for an additional fee. DOG DROP-IN Includes a 30-minute visit with your dog at your home, including a short potty break outside of your home. It's important to book dog WALKING services if you wish to have the visit include an extended walk. Please make the distinction at the time of booking between Dog Walking and Dog Drop-In. (One includes an extended walk and the other includes a short potty break outside.) In times of extreme heat or other weather conditions (such as pending storms, etc.) it's important that I structure my appointments in such a way that I'm not spending all day every day out in three-digit heat indexes. (I thank you in advance!) Important for apartment dwellers and those with an HOA: I bring my own poop bags and dispose of the waste in approved locations within your neighborhood. I ALWAYS pick up the dog waste so no one gets hit with fees by your apt complex or an HOA. CATS Cat services include a drop-in visit with your cat(s). While there, I'll feed and check water supplies and clean feeding area as needed. The rest of the time will be spent on play time and cuddles so your cats are getting attention while you have to be away. I am American Red Cross certified in Pet CPR and First Aid and carry a pet first aid kit to all drop-in and visits.

About: I have been a lifelong pet owner and have over 15 years of professional experience working with animals. My journey began as a volunteer at an animal shelter and grew into roles as a pet groomer and veterinary technician. Currently, I am pursuing a double master’s degree with a focus on animal ethics, welfare, and conservation. In my free time, I dedicate myself to supporting local conservation initiatives and caring for animals of all kinds. With the flexibility of graduate school, I now have the opportunity to expand my pet sitting and dog walking services. I am currently providing cat sitting and dog walking for several clients in the West Ashley area and am excited to expand my services to West Ashley, John’s Island, Ravenel, Hollywood, and downtown Charleston. I love caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and other small animals. In addition to pet sitting and dog walking, I am trained to administer medications thanks to my veterinary technician background. I also offer baths and nail trims for both cats and dogs. While I am retired from full grooming, I provide “mini-makeover” services such as teeth cleaning, ear cleaning, and paw pad shave-outs. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to help care for your pets! I am currently a double masters student and a TA part time. I also have private cat sitting and dog walking clients. I have plenty of time to take on new clients as my main school schedule is twice a week in the evening. I do teach downtown three days a week for 3 hour blocks but have plenty of free time otherwise. I promise transparency, trust and commitment to taking care of any pet or animal under my supervision. As a double masters student with a focus on animal ethics, welfare and conservation, I promise the best care for your pets. Pets are family and should be treats as so. I am experienced with giving oral and intravenous medication for animals. I have previous experience as a vet technician and 15 plus years of animal husbandry skills.

About: Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. From a young age, I was the one looking after our family pets, and that love only grew over time. In 2020, I welcomed my own dog, Hoss. He quickly became my best friend and a true part of my family. Because of that bond, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I treat every dog and cat I watch with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Hoss now has a younger brother, Dooley, an English Springer Spaniel with a sweet and easygoing personality. Together, they help create a calm, welcoming environment for visiting pets. They love to play when another dog is interested, but they are also very respectful of dogs who prefer space, rest, or a quieter visit. I own a house in West Ashley with a doggy door that leads to a big fenced in backyard that allows the dogs to romp around. Both the greenway and a park nearby are within walking distance for our walks around the neighborhood. One of the things that sets me apart is the range of care I can provide. I have hands-on experience with puppies, including the patience and consistency needed during teething, house-training, and early routines. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, including administering medication, monitoring comfort levels, and making sure they feel safe, supported, and relaxed. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or older and in need of extra attention, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs. I also foster for local rescues, including Journey Home Alliance and Lowcountry Lab Rescue. Through fostering, I have worked with dogs who have separation anxiety and need extra reassurance, structure, and patience to come out of their shell. Helping those dogs feel secure and comfortable in a temporary home has been one of the most meaningful parts of my experience, and it has strengthened my ability to care for pets with different personalities, backgrounds, and emotional needs. My home is a friendly and flexible space for pets of different temperaments. Both Hoss and Dooley are dog-friendly and know how to read another dog’s energy—if a guest wants to play, they are happy to join in, and if a guest prefers to relax, they are equally content to give them space. They are also cat friendly, so I am comfortable caring for households with feline family members as well. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and at home while their owners are away! I'm currently working from home, so I have more flexibility during the day for drop ins, walks, and boarding. I also have availability on the weekends. I have a fenced in yard with two animal friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. They are used to having animals come and go in our house through fostering rescue animals. Animals are treated like family in our home and are allowed on furniture. I can also easily crate your dog if needed while I am away from the house.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, including my own, and I truly treat every pup like family. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I understand that each dog has unique routines and needs. One of my own dogs has diabetes, so I have hands-on experience with insulin injections, medication schedules, and closely monitoring health and behavior. I know how important consistency, patience, and attention to detail are when it comes to medical care, and I’m confident providing that level of care for other pets as well. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, or quiet companionship, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home, which allows me to be present throughout the day for walks, meals, playtime, and companionship. Because of my flexible schedule, I’m able to adjust to each pet’s specific routine and provide consistent attention rather than long periods alone. Whether it’s regular potty breaks, medication timing, or just extra snuggles, I’m able to be attentive and responsive to each pet’s needs. Creating a safe, calm, and loving environment is my top priority. In my home, pets have access to a large, fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and a medium-sized doggie door for easy potty breaks. I have two friendly small dogs who are well-socialized and do great with visiting pets. I also have four teenage children who love dogs and are gentle, respectful, and experienced around them. All interactions are supervised to ensure every pet feels comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely and respect their space, keeping things consistent so pets feel safe and relaxed. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific instructions to provide dependable, trustworthy care

“Very patient with my anxious, shy dog! Definitely recommend!!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I would take care of them and teach them skills. I would play with my dog and spend every second of the day with my dog. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to walk your dog whenever you need me. I love dogs and spending so much time with them! I have a lot of walking trails near me to get your dog on a nice long walk as needed. I live near a dog park as well!

About: I spent several years working at a veterinary hospital and for a professional pet sitting company, so I’ve cared for just about every animal you can think of: dogs, cats, turtles, fish, goats, horses, you name it! I’m comfortable with all ages, from tiny newborns to wise seniors, and even those who require special care. I take a lot of pride in getting even the shyest, most skeptical animals to warm up to me. That’s honestly one of my favorite parts of the job! At home, I have a senior Shiba Inu, a cat, and three planted aquariums full of fish, shrimp, and snails, so animal care is truly a way of life for me. I’m available any day of the week, as early or as late as you need. Last minute requests are always welcome! I know how hard it can be to leave your babies with someone new. My goal is to make the whole experience as comfortable and stress free as possible. Pet sitting is my full-time focus right now, so my entire schedule is built around it. Early mornings, late evenings, weekends, whatever you need! I provide care in your home, so your pet stays in their own space with their own routine. I’m experienced with medications, special diets, and pets with various medical needs from my years in veterinary care.

“Kayla did an amazing job helping take care of our senior pup. I had an extremely busy couple of weeks of work and needed the extra help walking Cotton. Kayla always responded quickly and help adjust the the walk times as needed for Cotton. It gave me lots of peace of mind knowing he was being taken care of.”
