Dog Walkers in Marion, NC

About: What sets me apart as an exceptional sitter is my unique ability to handle challenging situations. Having nurtured a rescue who struggled with trust, I understand the patience and empathy required for such cases. Moreover, my experience transitioning from Asheville to Marion equips me with diverse skills adaptable to various environments. I excel in not only basic care but also in providing specialized attention tailored to individual needs, be it working with energetic puppies or ensuring the comfort of senior animals. Given my current availability, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine. With a flexible schedule, I can ensure ample time for both your dog and cat, catering to their individual needs. My commitment to structured activities and routines guarantees a stable and enriching environment for your pets. In both my home and yours, pet safety and comfort are paramount. At my place, a secluded yard and an invisible fence guarantee a secure outdoor environment for playful activities. In your home, I prioritize creating a familiar setting, maintaining routines, and implementing any necessary safety measures, ensuring your pets feel at ease and well-cared for.

“Tamiel has a warm and loving personality. It shows through in the way she cares for dogs. She kept Hannah for me and I couldn't have been more pleased. I would definitely use her again. Its hard to find someone you trust with your dogs.”

About: I own a senior dog currently and have 2 years of fostering multiple types of dogs until they were adopted. I took a break from Rover in 2021 when i started fostering dogs and now that I have my senior dog, I’m more able to do Rover because he has a very set schedule. Additionally, I have several years of pet sitting experience. I have a 5 year old Tuxedo cat and a 4 year old orange tabby cat. I work full time at home with mostly flexible hours, so unless I have meetings, I am able to do most times during the week. Sunday mornings is my in office day, so from 8:30am-12 on Sundays I am unavailable Whenever I am outdoors with a dog, I will have an eye on them if there is a fence and on a leash. I am accustomed to escape artist pets, so I am good at getting in and out of homes without letting an animal out

“Molly Snow is by far our first choice when we need a dog sitter. We have used her service on several occasions. Molly stays in communication with us on a regular basis, eliminating the stress of leaving our dog behind. We don’t worry about the stress of planning a trip to the kennel. Molly is trustworthy, caring, and a loving pet caregiver and our dog absolutely loves her. I would be happy to provide personal references upon request.”

“After an unexpected change of plans, Erika, was able to provide care to our fur-girl on short notice so we could go on our family vacation. She kept in consistent contact with me and sent multiple updates and pictures while we were away. She cared for our girl as if she was her own. I highly recommend Erika for all of your pet-sitting needs. Peace of mind is guaranteed!”

“Janie has watched my dogs and cats multiple times (2 dogs and 2 cats). Every time I am kept up to date on how everyone is doing and know they are having a good time. Every time my dogs see Janie they get ecstatic! I even have a cat that is shy that will come out and socialize anytime Janie is around. I have a special needs cat and Janie makes sure that she gets her meds on time every day and my dog with anxiety stays calm (even during storms!) when with Janie. I will continue to have Janie take care of my babies if I ever am out of town.”

“Courtney is a true dog lover! I have known her for several years and she has always been reliable and very caring with our pets! She kept our dog and my "granddogs" while we traveled to Disney World for a week as well as several other times. We always felt our "babies" were well cared for and Courtney was very trustworthy. She kept our pets in our home and would let us know how they were regularly as well as following our instructions and requests. You will be well pleased with Courtney and you can rest assured that your pet will be in great hands!”

“Jenn is the best! My Sheepadoodles really enjoy her. They get so excited when they see her car show up. She’s done everything I could ever ask for and she is so kind to my dogs. I think my dogs like her more than me LOL”

“I have known Mellyssa for 9 years. She has helped dog sit for my dogs over the years. From ages puppies to 18 year old dogs. She even helps with my other pets, such as my duck, chickens, bunny, and hermit crabs. She is a big dog lover. We can never walk down the street without her wanting to go up and meet a new dog. she is a very responsible person and can handle very important tasks. She is not afraid to ask for help if she isn't clear on a task she was assigned, which I believe is a very good quality to have. She is very well at taking care of the puppy I have now. She lets her sleep on the bed with her and helps me bring her on walks and is very helpful when bathing her as well. Mellyssa is a very friendly, caring, person and is very passionate about her future in which she wants to help animals. She would go out of her way to help any animal in need. She is very responsible when it comes to giving dogs medications on time and making sure they get fed on time. She's a very compassionate person and you would be very lucky to have such a responsible and respectable person to watch your animals. ”

“Amy is an avid animal lover. When I first met Amy she was working full time as a vet tech. She worked there for many years. Since then as a pet sitter has always taken the best care of my pets.”

About: I have loved taking care of my family’s, friends’, and neighbors dogs for years and have my own four year old Australian Shepard herding dog, Ares. I work from home, and drive around frequently to run errands and go swimming and ride my bike. I would love to stop by and take care of your fur babies! I have experience taking care of dogs in all life stages, from two month old puppies to sixteen year old senior dogs. We take walks at least twice a day and are very active.

“Kelley is the only person that I would trust to take care of my dogs at this point. Our dogs are the heart of our family and we don't entrust their care over to just anyone. Kelley will be attentive to your pets needs and treat them as if they were her own. You can tell she has a genuine interest in keeping them happy and healthy. Additionally, she is quick to respond to messages and is always on time which is extremely hard to find. Trust me, you don't want to wade around in the murky waters of dog walkers/sitters searching for anyone else.”
