Dog Walking Kitchings Mill

About: Reliable and caring pet sitter with a natural love for animals. Attentive to each pet’s unique needs, providing a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment while owners are away. Experienced with dogs, cats, and small animals—treats every pet like family. I have experience with special needs, and senior pets, as well as potty training puppies. When I meet with family, questions are answered in order to arrange the best schedule for you and your pet. Currently pet sitting is my full-time position, which allows flexibility to keep your fur baby as close to their usual schedule. When caring for a pet in their home, I do my best to keep the same routine and care that the parents keep. Ongoing communication, learning about each individual animals personality, likes and dislikes, and any medical concerns are important to make sure your pet is getting the best care and you have piece of mind while you're away.

About: Hey there my name is Danielle, I have taken care of dogs of all ages ranging from puppies going through their first heat to senior dogs with lack of abilities. Growing up I had all sorts of pets in my home and enjoyed sitting and dog walking in my neighborhood. Also one of my first jobs was at a dog boarding and day care facility. I love all breeds of dogs and cats and just want to keep them happy and healthy and have a fun time. I am available on the weekends and I love the outdoors so any chance to get some sunshine is my favorite. Meeting new people and pets is something I always look forward to. I have a fenced backyard, and my dog is friendly. I do not leave dogs unattended outside because I want to be sure they won't try to escape the yard or dig holes. When in a client's home I am sure to read all instructions given prior to my drop in. I make sure that the their pet is given my full attention during my time there. If I have any questions I am not afraid to ask. I will also send updates and photos if requested.

“Madison was professional and went above and beyond to tidy up and care for my 3 dogs. I am happy we found her in short notice and she was able to accommodate us. I will definitely depend on her in the future.”

About: My name is Alexandria, and I’ve had a passion for animals since childhood. I grew up helping on a farm until I was 12 and began working for a dog groomer at 14 which i stopped around 16, gaining valuable experience in animal care. I currently have two German Shepherds and three cats, and I’ve always been the go-to sitter for family and neighbors. Whether it's walking, feeding, or providing special care for senior pets or puppies, I bring love and dedication to every pet I care for. I am currently in college at USCA and I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. Whether it's daily walks or playtime, I can easily accommodate any pup or kitty into my routine. My schedule allows me to give them the attention and care they deserve, ensuring peace of mind for you while you’re away. While I don’t have a fenced yard due to Hurricane Helene, I’m happy to walk your pet using your preferred method. If your pet has access to a fenced yard, I’ll keep a watchful eye to ensure they’re happy and safe while they run around. I prioritize their well-being, making sure they get the exercise, play, and attention they need, whether it's on a walk or in the yard.

About: I am an experienced pet care provider with years of experience having had pets of all kinds since I was born. I have some experience with obedience training and I love playing with and walking dogs. I work as a pet care provider full time and have a very flexible, generous schedule. I can’t think of any better way to spend my time than caring for animals. I spend a lot of time with pets. They are like my children. I pet them, talk with them, play with them, groom and walk them regularly. They are allowed on the sofa and our bed but our dogs do happily sleep in their crates at night. That’s not a necessity for your dog if your dog isn’t kennel trained. We are flexible.

About: I have experience with cats and dogs of many different kinds! I have taken care of both geriatric & adolescent aged animals. As well as having experience with animals who have special needs like blindness, deafness, and giving medication. I hope to meet your babies soon! I'm currently in graduate school to become a speech language pathologist and I’m wanting to supplement my income with some sitting/walking/dropping in jobs before and after school during the week and on the weekends. I will not be able to provide sitting services for any pets inside of my home as I already have multiple animals like cats, dogs, chickens, and fish at my home.

About: Family has relied on me for all pet needs. I’ve helped with sitting, potty breaks, feeding and walking. Or even just to keep their fur babies company. I work remotely with the ability to adapt my schedule as needed for pet care. I would love to take care of your sweet baby! We have a huge front and back yard for exercise and play. We have 1 dog who would be a great playmate for your baby! We also have 3 children that love animals and would provide great companionship.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life. I grew up on a farm and am comfortable around all types of animals and pets. I’ve been caring for several clients’ dogs and cats for years now and hope to expand my services to other people in my area. I live in Lake Toxaway and can travel to the Cashiers, Sapphire and Brevard areas. I am flexible and can be available on short notice as well as extended stays. Animals love me and I love them! I treat all pets as if they are my own while they are in my care. I can pick up your mail, water your plants and watch over your house if you are away for an extended amount of time. I am married and have two grown daughters and four cats at the moment. They range in age from 3 years to 12 years. I love gardening and most outdoor activities. I can provide reliable references upon request.

About: I'm a fun loving individual that loves animals. I am a big believer in getting outside and being active. Exercise and friendly faces are not only important to people, but animals as well. Those simple things make life fun and exciting. If it is walking or checking-In, I am here to help and would be happy to do so. I welcome in all cute and fun loving dogs. I have a lab myself that is very playful. His name is Ranger, and he is just really attentive with my children. As most dogs are, Ranger loves attention and has just added so much to life in general. Dogs are truly mans best friend. If you are New to Rover- TIFFAD93560- is a promotional code that give $20 off Thanks again!!!

About: Having shared my home with every kind of pet since I was a child, I bring a deep, intuitive understanding to pet care that goes beyond the basics. This extensive experience has given me a special skill for navigating the unique challenges of both ends of the spectrum: I excel at the positive reinforcement needed for training energetic puppies and have the gentle, patient touch required to provide comfort and specialized care for senior pets. When you entrust me with your furry family member, you're choosing a sitter who offers not just reliability, but a genuine, experienced friendship for your pet I have the wonderful luxury of a completely open schedule, which allows me to make pet care my top priority. This means your pet gets my undivided attention, and I can be there for them consistently throughout the day, every day. My approach to in-home pet care is to provide seamless, consistent care while maintaining your pet's normal routine. I minimize their stress by keeping them in their familiar environment. If needed to stay in your own home. If they were to come to my home: I have 3 young kids, however if necessary to be away from kids we could do in your home. When pets stay with me, they become part of my family. My home is a safe, loving, and pet-centric environment where they receive constant attention.

About: I have 25 years of experience as a pet sitter being self-dubbed the "overnight queen" as I specialize in overnight stays of any length. The dogs and I have FUN slumber parties during which I fully engage with and interact with them, playing with their toys and giving the most excellent tummy rubs imaginable! Owners are happy too as they return to a happy pet - dogs "tell" by their behavior and in over 500 pet sits, every dog has been safe, sound ... and happy! In fact, many owners say I did a great job because "my dog acted like it didn't even know I was away!" All dogs love me ... and I love them. Dogs are people, too - only better ! I am self-employed so can set my schedule, especially with as much advance notice as possible. I often bring my little 9 pound, Shih Tzu, which I keep and a carry crate and kennel that has worked out fine with both dogs and cats. We can arrange a meet and greet ahead of time to make sure everyone is comfortable. I have separate bedrooms if dogs need their own privacy, but I do try to have dogs interact and be friends. I have a long hallway to play fun games and go get it!

About: I am a very out-going, animal-lover who has grown up with pets my entire life. I have had animals ranging from lizards, birds, cats, snakes, all the way to chinchillas. I have also trained dogs in the past and take great pride in the training and mannerism of my own 4 fur babies. As I am sure you can see from my photos, my dogs, as well as each and every animal that I walk, dog-sit, or provide any service for, I treat as my own and love them entirely! I will provide the best love and utmost care that is physically possible when watching your furry (or hairless ;)) little (or big) friends. As I do not have any kids myself, I like to call my own dogs my children. I understand the stress of trusting another individual to watch your pet, but I promise to keep them extremely safe, make sure they get tons of potty breaks, and even let them snuggle with me on the couch, bed, in the grass, and throughout my entire home! I am highly trained in animal body language, behavior, and how to also deal with stressed out, aggressive, or disabled animals. I will ALWAYS make myself available to talk with you about your pet, answer any questions you may have, and do anything and everything that I can to ensure your pet is safe with me. I firmly believe that while I am keeping an eye on this member of your family, they are apart of mine for the time being. I currently work in the office Monday-Wednesdays, work from home on Thursdays, and am available 24/7 Friday-Sunday. Having 4 fur babies of my own, pet care fits into my weekly routine as I will be fully invested on the days I am available to provide service for you and your pet. I have a full-time job, but I love animals and want to be around them more. When caring for pets in my own home, I do a safety walk through, ensure I have all proper and required materials for their care, and can even set up a fence divider in my backyard in the instance that the dog or pet I am caring for is preferred to be alone. I do have dogs myself, however, they are all extremely trained and get along well with all animals. I understand that it may be a preference to keep my dogs separate from your furry friend, and that is no problem. With our home being 2 stories and nearly 4,000 square feet, there is plenty of room for your pet to still be comfortable and have the free range that they want. Safety and trust is my #1 priority when caring for your pet, so any accommodations that need to be made, I am on it!

About: Experience in: ✅Vet care (medicating, mobility issues, monitoring vitals, etc) ✅Puppies, including whelping and new litters ✅Reactive, nervous, and aggressive dogs ✅High energy/drive working dogs ✅Training — from potty training all the way to reactive dog confidence building I work full time with horses, but am flexible enough to care for animals any time of day! I need a few hours daily dedicated to working training horses, timing can be flexible, so your pets will be my focus. No matter the service, your animals will be treated like they are my own. From my senior rescue dog, to my young nervous aussie, all the way to my cat and horses — all my animals are treated with respect, love, care, and patience. I understand animals can be upset and nervous when their owners leave, and strive to make them feel as comfortable as possible when you are away. I’d want the same for my own family of animals!

“Lily was remarkable. She was always on time. Report cards were always filled out, pictures provided. She always worked with me to change things up on how to give the dogs their walks, etc., with very little notice, which was greatly appreciated. I would recommend her to anyone and we will definitely be a repeat customer.”

About: My first job was at a German Shepherd training facility when I was 16. I was responsible for bathing, feeding, exercising, and playing with the dogs! I was one of their main caretaker for a couple years. I was also the primary puppy trainer at the facility. I’ve also had dogs of my own my entire life—big and small, and I absolutely adore dogs and love working with them. It makes me truly happy and relaxed to be with animals and I’m trying to find a stable living doing something I love! I’m currently looking for work, so I have plenty of free time to walk or watch your pets! I would really like to be a full time dog walker for a while. I’m 22, so I’m young and I have lots of energy to play and time to spend with your babies. I would like pet care to be apart of my routine daily Monday-Friday! I’m also available to walk or watch pets over the weekend/long periods of time! I live on a farm, so I have lots of space for your pets to play and run around on! I also have a very sweet and friendly dog of my own that would keep your baby good company! I can easily crate your pet if need be, I have various sizes here and lots of room for storage. I would totally understand wanting your dog to stay at home in their normal environment as well, so I would be more than willing to travel and stay at your home with them while you’re away!

About: I’ve grown up around Animals my whole life and currently have a mini farm. I’m experienced with almost every type of animals including bunnies, reptiles, cats, dogs, fish, birds, and live stock and have been house sitting since I was 13. I am a huge advocate for animal assisted therapy and am currently attending college to get my degree in order to bring animals into my work as a psychologist. I’ve taken care of plenty of animal emergencies and even revived dying chickens. I’m not scared of getting dirty or anything else that comes with with taking care of your animals. I also enjoy sending picture updates whenever I can so the owners know what is going on with their pet. I would love to come watch your fur babies for you! I am currently in school three days a week and for only a few hours on those days, the rest of my time is free. I prefer to follow a daily check list of general tasks, then I play with them and their favorite toys or just give them company depending on your pets needs.

About: I have been taking care of animals ever since I can remember. I have grown up with all sizes and types of dogs and cats as well as other animals such as reptiles. Taking care of animals fills me with a sense of joy and love that you can't get anywhere else. I have a cat of my own that I take care of every single day as well as helping my partner take care of our dog and their 2 cats. I will not be bringing pets to my home, as I do not have a home adequate for pet sitting. Thank you so very much. I have my adorable loving cat that I take care of daily! I make sure he gets exercise, he has water, and his food it good to go. Weekly little box cleanings and bowl cleanings. I make sure that I take care of my pet and others pets by following the rules and guidelines that have been set forth in front of me. Whether that be your basic care for the animal or a person's personal preferences on how they would prefer their pets to be cared for.

About: I have been around dogs all my life. I worked as a dog walker at the county shelter. I used to show dogs in the AKC. I am currently taking master trainer course to become a certified dog trainer in order to start my own dog training business. Most of my experience with dogs has been in behavior modification and basic obedience. I have plenty of time to care for your animals. It doesn't matter if it is during the week or the weekend I can usually make it work. I make sure the animal is comfortable with me when I enter his or her home. I always bring treats and make sure the clients home is left the same way I found it.

“Valerie is AMAZING! Raynie, our 75 lb pit bull, is full of energy and excitement. Valerie is able to handle her easily. Raynie is so excited to see her for walks! Raynie is exhausted for hours afterwards. Valerie is always on time and she is very much a people person and an animal lover!”
