Dog Walking Lake Ariel

About: I have been taking care of animals for 36 years. I use to run a non profit 501c3 dog rescue for 15 years when I use to live in NC I can handle medical animals, use to giving medications and animals with disabilities. My passion is animals, changing laws and saving lives. Cats and dogs accepted. Have even had pigs, chickens, birds and reptiles. Many references available. I work from home so I am available almost all the time. I do have a 12 year old , very responsible daughter who does accompany me sometimes. When permitted , of course . I have a SUV if your animal is needing transport to a vet, etc. I personally have five dogs and two cats. If you’re looking for someone trust worthy that will take care of your animals like they are spoiled children, you have found the right person. I message when I am heading towards your house, message when I leave and take pictures. If you like what you’re hearing, feel free to reach out to me! Look forward to speaking with you! I’m currently employed part time with a flexible schedule so I can plan my day around your animals needs and wants. I make sure to keep my calendar up to date so you know exactly what days I would and would not be available. I care for your pets like I do my own. I always set up a meet and greet first. This way I go over exactly how you would like me to take care of your pet, your instructions and rules, and make sure it’s done to your liking. I always try to go above and beyond, as I would for my own fur babies.

About: I am an elementary school teacher, and basically my 2 passions are teaching and dogs! I’m very trustworthy, and you can rest assured your fur baby would receive the utmost level of care and attention by me. I’m currently training my dog to become a therapy dog, and he lives a very active lifestyle through tons of swimming and hiking. I more than happy to provide a variety of stimulating yet safe experiences for your dog if that were your wish! I am a teacher with summers off so I am very available tall day to book your dog-walking appointments! I’d love to find repeat clients to establish a summertime schedule! I am available Monday day through Friday and basically available anytime of the morning or afternoon. I’ve had dogs my entire life, and we currently have our sweet rescue boy, Herman, the love of my life! We hike, swim, he eats like a king and sleeps in bed with us every night! Any dogs that I have sat for have received the same level of care and attention my boy gets.

About: Ever since I was little I have had an overwhelming love for all animals. No matter where I go I am constantly pointing out an animal, asking its owner more about them, and stopping to pet them! I have grown up with/had dogs my entire life. I have also been pet sitting for friends and neighbors since I was a teenager. During these years I have cared for many animals with different personalities and needs. My own dogs are definitely quirky and I understand that every dog is different and deserves personalized care. I also provide daily medications for my dogs, so I am very used to following specific routines and comfortable giving pets the extra care they may need. I will always treat your animals with love and patience, while, of course, giving them lots and lots of attention. Animals are family! My daily schedule is flexible because I am currently pursuing my Master’s Degree online, while allows me to build my schoolwork around a consistent routine. Being that I have plenty of flexibility throughout my day, this provides ample time for dog walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve. In every environment, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort. I really enjoy learning about dogs and am constantly researching their behaviors and body language. I believe understanding how a dog communicates is such an important part in taking care of them. I always take the time to get to know each dog’s unique personality, energy level, and individual cues so I can better understand how they are feeling and make them comfortable around me. My dogs in my own home are truly part of the family and are very spoiled and pampered. I make sure they receive lots of attention, love, and enrichment, and I take their comfort and happiness very seriously. Caring for my own pets, for my whole life, has taught me how important it is to notice the little things and truly understand animals. When caring for pets in other people’s homes, I follow their routines and instructions closely and treat their home and belongings with the same respect I would my own. I am always mindful of keeping any doors and gates secure, providing plenty of supervision and attention, and making sure each pet gets the exercise, interaction, and care they need. My goal is for every pet I take care of to feel just as loved, comfortable, and well cared for as the animals in my own home.

“Hired for a last minute dog walk, great service and communication thank you!”

About: Hey everybody! I hope your days, nights, and evenings are going well! My name is Peach, and I absolutely love animals and pets. I have a Mini Australian Shepard, named Calypso, who is a one year old anxiety fluff ball, who I’ve been taking on walks since she was a tiny puppy. I also have a high anxiety and post traumatic dog names Fae Belle, who has trusted me to walk her through the loud streets of our hometown. I would love to meet your wonderful pets, so they are comfortable with a new person walking them. I’m looking for summer jobs before I go off to college where I will be working with animals. However, until then I’m so exited to meet everyone. I’m currently trying to get everyone situated before I go off to college…so I am mostly free and the end on June through the middle of August. I would love to see if I can work around my schedule to accommodate walking before that time and I can do most to any day of the week. I take my dogs for walks or at least out to play at least once a day, so I’m comfortable doing either of those. We have a fenced in yard where they can roam around as well. I also feed them and give them extra snuggles when they need it.

“Aly was truly accommodating and Luke attached you her right away! We had a sudden change of schedules and needed a dog walker within a short time period. Aly helped out by being available and consistently answering any and all questions. She kept us updated with Luke’s walks and is definitely worth booking.”

“Shelby is great! I'm thankful we were able to connect. Things have been very hectic in our world and having someone we can trust walk our very bouncy 80lb puppy has been unbelievably helpful! Shelby asked some good questions about our pup before starting out and I trust her to take good care of Agnes while on their walks. Agnes comes back happy and sleepy everytime - it's a win for everyone!”

I love taking care of pets and making them feel safe! I do what their owner has written out for me. If they have a fenced yard, or partial, I’ll make sure they are safe and cared for with lots of love! Whatever makes them feel safe, I would be happy to contribute to that.

About: Hi! My name is Brooklin, and animals have been a huge part of my life for over 18 years. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I previously worked with the Charleston Animal Society, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals and understanding their individual needs. My background has given me the skills to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care for your pets while you're away. I am comfortable administering medications when needed and have experience monitoring pets' health, feeding schedules, water intake, bathroom habits, and overall well-being. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and relaxed environment, I strive to make them feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities. My goal is to treat every animal as if they were my own and provide pet parents with peace of mind through dependable care and communication. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! At the moment I have a full time job, but have weekends off. I plan to entail doing this on my weekends and even after work days. This is more then just making it my routine. I adore animal(s). I have a fenced in yard, I as well have a crate. Plenty of opportunities for walking adventures. I enjoy going to the dog park, as well with adventuring outside anywhere with the animal(s). Whatever you set for rules or boundaries I’ll always continue to respect them, and always follow. I enjoy working with animal(s)
