Dog Walking Locust

“Dana is a wonderful caring person. Granted she is taking care of my easy, laid back fur baby but he likes her and that’s important. She is dependable and listens to any special instructions I might have. She is also flexible with her calendar and scheduling changes. I would highly recommend Dana and will continue to use her services as needed.”

About: The services I offer are dog walks and check ins. I am currently 26 years old and graduated from UNCC in May of 2022. I have always loved animals ever since I was a little girl. I started caring for family and friends animals when I was 12 years old and will often help out friends and family when they need me to. What sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is that I will take the time to love and care for your animal like it was my own. I always try to go above and beyond whatever my task is. I hope to one day be able to care and love your animal as if you were there. I work part time during the week but I am free all day during the weekends.

About: I grew up with having a dog around the house, so I have always loved being around pets. The last two summers I have pet sat for families while they were on vacation. Some of the dogs I have taken care of have had medical needs, so I am able to give dogs medication if needed. I have taken care of big and small dogs. I look forward to working and taking care of your pet! During the summer I have more availability outside of when I am on vacation. For house sitting services, I am happy to provide overnight care for your pet. There will be times I will leave the home to run errands, go to work, family time and etc. But I will make sure that your pet’s routine is kept in tact and that they get all the snuggles and love they need. I am a full time teacher so once the school year starts my availability will change. I will not be able to provide pet care in my home. But I can provide pet care in a clients home. I am able to provide walks, feed your pet, provide snuggles, and medication if needed. I will ensure the client home stays clean if I am booked for overnight pet care. If it is too hot outside I may limit the time for the walk. I will also bring a water bottle with a bowl to make sure your dog does not overheat.

About: I’m a certified Physician Assistant and lifelong animal lover, and I’m excited to spend some extra time caring for your pets while I try to secure my first job as a PA! I’ve grown up around animals my entire life. My family had a cat who we brought home when I was 2 years old and who was part of my family until I was in college. We also had a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and during college I had a Siamese kitten that I shared with my roommates. More recently, I’ve enjoyed dog sitting (& house sitting) with my sister’s Golden Retriever and my best friend’s dog frequently while I was in school. I also watched my friend's kitten over the last year. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow your instructions closely so your pet can stay comfortable and on their normal routine while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m mainly busy with tasks at home each day while I work toward finding my first job as a PA. Right now, I have very open availability and would love the opportunity to care for your pets while getting a change of scenery and relocating my workspace! I currently plan to provide care in my clients’ homes rather than boarding pets in my own home. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, walks, exercise, and crate use. I’m attentive to keeping pets safe and comfortable, and I’ll make sure doors, gates, and other potential escape routes are secure. I’ll also treat your home with care and respect while you’re away.

I’m also deeply patient and experienced with anxious, sensitive, or high-needs dogs. I know how to read their body language, respect their boundaries, use gentle, calming techniques, and provide the structured guidance that younger or nervous pups need to feel secure and at ease.

About: I’ve taken care of all types and breeds of animals since I was 10. Most pets feel my energy and are immediately comfortable with me. I get up first thing in the morning and feed the animals, scoop litter boxes and let them out before I even feed myself. Then I go to work for anywhere from 3 to 6 hours. When I return home, dogs go outside for potty breaks, and cats get fed. Once the dogs come back in, they get fed. Depending on their needs and age, I give pretty regular potty breaks. And then a final potty break before bed. Petsitting helps complement my regular day job. I have a fenced in backyard for dogs to roam around, run and play, and to go to the bathroom. I have a 71 inch gate to my living room to separate large dogs from cats or other animals if needed. I also have multiple baby gates to separate out areas if animals don’t do well with other animals or need some time to adjust.

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a little girl. I have experience bathing them, feeding them and walking them. I enjoy going for walks around the community so this would not be a problem. I have two children ages 8 and 9 and they would enjoy spending time with your dog(s). I was a teacher by training but now work from home and am flexible. I am originally from Boston, MA and relocated to Charlotte, NC in 2018. I live in the Pineville area and although I would have no problem meeting you in your home, it would be better to meet me instead. I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s) or cat(s). I currently work from from home so walking your dog every 3-4 hours is feasible with my schedule. I look forward to meeting your fury friend! I can also provide basic grooming such as a bath or brushing if needed for an additional fee. I look forward to caring for your fur baby!

About: With 17 years of dedicated experience in dog care, I am the proud owner of three canine companions – one over 14 years old and two between 1-2 years old. Specializing in comprehensive care for senior dogs, I prioritize their well-being, and I am equally adept at managing the exuberance of high-energy dogs. Ensuring a hygienic and comfortable environment is a commitment I extend to all dogs in my care, with particular attention to the unique needs of senior dogs, including accidents, diaper changes, and puppy pad adjustments. My comfort level extends to administering medications, accommodating special diets, handling leash-pulling, and caring for larger breeds. I possess valuable knowledge in addressing the specific requirements of elderly dogs, demonstrating proficiency in managing issues like accidents, diaper usage, and the regular changing of puppy pads. I derive immense joy from engaging dogs in activities that balance their mood and energy levels, whether it's long walks, runs, or interactive play. When entrusted with a dog's care, I treat them as if they were my own, prioritizing their comfort, health, and happiness. Confident in my ability to discern any signs of discomfort or distress, I am vigilant as a pet owner and can readily identify when a dog requires assistance. I am fully adaptable and committed to following any special requests or specific needs for the pups under my care. While I may be new to professional dog sitting, my enthusiasm and passion for dogs make me eager to embark on this exciting journey. Rest assured, your furry companions will be in caring and capable hands under my watch. I can tailor the walks or check-ins to accommodate your schedule. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to adjust to the time that suits you best. In my dedicated care environment, safety, trust, and a comfortable setting are paramount for both my canine companions and future clients' dogs. With a senior dog and two energetic youngsters, my fenced-in backyard provides a secure space for them to play and explore. I understand the importance of addressing unique challenges, such as leash aggression, and have diligently worked with my dog to overcome it. I prioritize clear communication, always ensuring others are aware when encountering another dog. This proactive approach reflects my commitment to the safety and well-being of all dogs involved, fostering an environment where trust and harmony thrive.
