Dog Walkers in Lost Cove, NC

About: I have been pet sitting for the last 4 years as well as being a nanny for 4 children aged newborn to 5 years old. During my time pet sitting I have worked with single dogs as well as up to 4 dogs in a single household. I love playing with and entertaining the higher-energy extroverted pets and enjoy quiet cuddle-time with the more laid-back, philosophical ones. Your pets safety and overall well-being is an utmost priority and I will care for it as carefully as I do my own pet. In addition to pet sitting, I have learned a lot about interacting with all sorts of personalities in mobile pet grooming business. I have a flexible schedule that allows week-day overnights and multiple daytime check-ins with your pet. For overnight sittings, my flexible schedule allows me to check it in on your pets throughout the day, and no pet will be left unattended for more than 3 or 4 hours. I will communicate proactively and adhere to all the house rules and keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible to reduce your pet's anxiety at your absence. In addition to maintaining their regular routines, I can also brush, bathe, and blow-dry your pet while you are away! I am a considerate house-guest and will wash any dishes or towels/washcloths that I might use as well.

“Madison was great! She arrived right when she said she would, did a great job with communication, and the dogs loved her. We look forward to hiring her again. It is really nice to have a reliable, responsible person to call on when we need someone to walk our furry children. Thanks Madison!”

About: I've never not had pets in my life. I've had one dog - a jack russel terrier who lived to be an old man of 16. I used to volunteer at PAWS Animal Shelter as a dog walker, so I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages. I love getting to know a new dog and seeing their distinct personalities shine through. I'm currently working Tues-Sat 3-10pm, so I am available for morning or late night check-ins and Sunday/Monday day long care. I can be pretty flexible, so feel free to reach out and see if we can work something out that works for you. I cannot currently take pets into my home, but I am comfortable following whatever routine your pet is used to. The more details you can leave me, the better. I want my care to be as seamless and stress-free for your pet as possible.

About: I have been a pet owner of multiple different types of pets for my whole entire life. Including pet sitting for friends, family, and anyone who needed! Right now I am currently working part time. I have multiple times during the day to help you and your furry friend out! Thank you! I am a dog and cat owner myself, and I see everyone’s else pets to be just as special as mine. I know how much they mean to you, how important they are. They are family! I would take care of them just as I take care of my own. With love, affection, and respect!

About: I grew up with cats and have been taking care of people's dogs for many years. I was often the go to person for dog sitting in my co-housing community where I lived until recently in Santa Fe, NM. I moved back east at the end of 2022. I will be back in Santa Fe from September 20-October 7. *Please note that I charge $30 for meet and greets. I can add this on to your total booking fee or you can pay some other way. This ensures that people have a serious intention of booking when they ask me to come out and meet them and their animals and it also ensures that I am compensated for the time I spend doing this. Thank you for your understanding!* In the spring of 2022, I completed my graduate school classes in art therapy and clinical counseling at Southwestern College in NM and am working towards growing my business as an artist. I have the flexibility to pet sit often during this transition. I do not have an "online job". I take my artwork with me when I housesit and work on things that I can do at other people's homes (like sewing). Because of this, I am able to spend most of the time pet sitting at home with the animal. I enjoy connecting with both cats and dogs in their homes. I like taking dogs out on long hikes and I am a cat whisperer.

About: I've always had a deep affection for dogs and their care.Dogs are best companions that I enjoy spending time with and who help me avoid loneliness, so I don't always think of them as animals. I'm now concentrating on my studies and schoolwork for the future, but I'm happy to assist with pet care when I have free time to help out If your dog comes and stays with me, they will have a great time and be well-cared for because I have a lot of space for dogs to run about on. My dog loves being outside and having someone to play with

I'll love on your babies and walk, feed and play with them. And I don't mind to clean up their messes!

“Natasha has done WONDERFUL with my pup! She’s one of the few we’ve met that Bleu trusted right away and didn’t bark upon meeting her with me! She has been on time and Bleu seems to really be happy when I get home - so I know she’s doing great with her!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats all shapes and sizes. I’ve taken care of chickens, goats, pigs, hedgehogs, and turtles. I have taken care of dogs and cats that require medicine and dogs that have food aggression. I currently work part time at Walmart in Unicoi and I am a full time student at ETSU. Doing animal care works extremely well for me because I will be able to do the majority of my school work while I’m with your pet. My Walmart work schedule can get a little tricky sometimes, so please let me know if you have any questions or concerns! Staying at a client’s house works best for me because I live with my grandmother and she has two dogs that are not dog friendly. I always make sure they stick to their feeding schedule (if they have one) and that they take potty breaks as frequently as possible. I keep all doors locked when I am inside and never take my eyes off of your dog when it is outside.

About: I have cared for my own dogs from the time they were puppies to senior dogs. That means house training, vet visits, proper vaccinations and nutrition. I also work at a professional kennel where I train puppies on basic obedience and care for the adult dogs. I am familiar with the medications for aging pets and the methods available to treat many illnesses. Dogs are treated and cared for just like family members in my home, because they are my family and I understand most people feel the same. I have cared for dogs with terminal illnesses before and given oral medications for many illnesses as well as flea/tick/heartworm preventatives. I am available for dog walks and drop in visits every day through the week for limited hours and anytime on the weekends. I can play games like fetch as well as provide other fun enrichment activities.

About: I’ve been a life-long animal lover and pet caretaker for my own furry family members and others as well. I’ve cared for small cats and dogs up to 100+ pound doggos. If your pet needs to be picked up or carried that’s no issue for me! I own and operate a business that allows me a lot of flexibility and free time so I can care for my pets and yours almost any time. My 3 dogs are my family. We share living spaces, eating spaces and napping spaces! I love sharing car rides with them and taking them on walks with the family.

About: I have more than 3 decades of experience with pet sitting and dog walking. I am also experienced with many animals (dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, amphibians, other small mammals). I will care for your pet just as if it were my own. I want you to feel safe leaving your pets in my hands. If you need a dependable, kind, animal lover please contact me with your needs. I love meeting new animals. Every animal has a unique personality and I look forward to meeting you and your pet. Thank you. Im available 24/7 for all of your pet care needs. I’d love to take your dog on a walk or a hike or just drop in. Whatever your needs are. I treat each animal with love and kindness. I currently am only available for client homes. I have fostered over 100 cats and love animals of all kinds.

“Kelsey was so sweet with our pups and they loved having her visit everyday. We will def use her anytime we ever need another drop-in or if we need an over night boarding. She was very responsive and great with our dogs. Highly recommend!”

About: I have worked at the Unicoi County Animal shelter and I have volunteered at other animal shelters around the Tri-Cities. I have a Chihuahua named Morty, a Chorkie named Snuffles, and I also have a son that is 12. I do have a flexible schedule since I am a contract courier for Walmart. I work the weekends until 4:30pm but I'm free after. I've always been an animal lover. I do have clients but they do not use this app. I have a lot of experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, salt water tanks, and more. Helping out and working at the shelter has taught me a lot. I'm a contract courier so I pick my own hours and I can take off when I'm needed. I can do my best to fit everyone in. 🙂 I can play with the pets, walk them, feed and water them, brush them, and hand out with them. I am laid back and active so I'm fine with playing outside or hanging out indoors.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little kid. From my neighbors to family members who have relied on me to walk, bathe and feed their pets I am currently working part time so I am very flexible with my hours and have a ton of open availability to care for your pets. I love to play with pets and I can crate your dog if necessary. I can also take your dog for as many walks as necessary.

“Ellie is the best! She was so wonderful with our 3 pups and really took the extra time to make sure they were well taken care of. Thanks for being such a great go to person for our doggos!”
