Dog Walkers in Mars Hill, NC

About: I have a wide range of pet sitting experience, from house sitting a small senior dog to walking a huge dog with lots of energy! I am a sophomore in college and have free time on the weekends and evenings during the week. It's hard being away from my doggies back home so I have some extra love and care to provide for your pets! I care for pets in their home by meeting their needs with exceptional care and attention to detail. I can evaluate how the pet is responding to me and whether they want space or cuddles.

“Becca was prompt and communicative, we were so grateful for the updates and the reliability! We didn’t get to meet Becca in person this time but hope to in the future!”

About: I have been pet sitting for the last 5 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. In addition to pet sitting, I have learned a lot about interacting with all sorts of personalities in mobile pet grooming business. **For the foreseeable future, I will be searching for and working an additional part-time job, so my availability for overnight stays, daily check-ins, and dog-walking may vary from situation to situation. 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. I am a considerate house-guest and will wash any dishes or towels/washcloths that I might use as well.

I have been taking care of dogs and cats in-home and out of home for 8+ years and I am comfortable with almost all types of care. I am an avid nature lover, so I am always down to take your dog out for a run at the park , a swim at the beach, or even chill with them at home!

About: Hi! I’ve taken care of countless animals including dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I currently have 3 dogs of my own and a leopard gecko as well. I previously worked as a kennel attendant at an animal shelter and am now a vet tech at an animal hospital. I am currently working part-time so I am pretty flexible outside of work. I typically work in the morning from 6:30 to around 2:00pm. But as long as I know what your pet needs ahead of time, I am more than willing to do what I can to care for them. I am very experienced with specific needs of animals (meds, dietary restrictions, etc.), and can easily follow certain instructions when necessary. I definitely want your fur baby to be as happy, healthy, and comfortable as possible while you’re away.

About: I have a deep love for all dogs and have been caring for dogs for over 25yrs. My family loves dogs as well and I would be happy to take care of your dog, your dog will be in good nurturing hands, we can walk and play together! Our house has a nice fenced in yard with a doggy door. If your dog has special needs I will be happy to accommodate for your dog. I would be happy to walk your dog and make sure your pooch has food, water and any other care that is needed. I am happy to offer dog boarding service. We do have a 40lb female dog and 1 child in the house, he loves dogs but if your dog bites we wouldn't be able to care for him at our house. I work from home and can take your dog out often. I am at home most of the time so taking care of another dog is no problem. I have a fenced in backyard and have a doggie door. I have 1 child and 1 female dog, my dog gets along with other dogs if they are her size or smaller. She's about 40lbs.

“Liz was a pleasure to work with taking care of our big boy Moose! I will use her again and highly recommend her services:)”

About: Please note before considering me: I do not accept any requests for dogs not friendly with other dogs. This is because I have two very friendly/happy pugs and one amazing golden retriever, who will need to participate in any all-day or overnight care I've had dogs my entire life and love all breeds, personalities, shapes, and sizes. I work from home, so they'll be in good hands! Again, your dog will need to be OK around with other dog for any overnight stays. I am flexible with your schedule, detail-oriented, and reliable. You will not be disappointed and your best friend will come home happy. Every day of the week is open! My husband and I work from home, so we are always here and take great care of our animals.

About: I've worked in two different animal shelters as an animal caretaker. I learned so much from both jobs to help me in my pet sitting journey. I'll love on your babies and walk, feed and play with them. And I don't mind to clean up their messes!

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was five years old. I still distinctly remember the breeder of the first dog I ever owned - a chocolate lab named Ginger - looking me in the eye after seeing I was apprehensive about the dogs and telling me, "Son, some day this dog will be the best friend you ever had." Ginger and I went everywhere together. I've had dogs and cats virtually my whole life, and the animals love me. While I am employed full time, I work in a hybrid setting that includes roughly 3 remote days per week, so I can be pet sitting on site and developing as close a band as I can to alleviate the babies' separation anxiety. I aim to please - if you'd prefer for your fur baby to be crated at night, then I will make sure s/he does that. My only job, other than to make the babies' experience as smooth as possible, is to follow the directions laid out by the owners.

“Kate is wonderful! She took great care of our pups, showing up right on time, sharing pictures, and even keeping me posted on how my dog was doing when I told her he was a little under the weather. Thank you, Kate! We will definitely call you again.”

About: I've been surrounded by dogs since day one and have been an avid dog lover ever since. I have my own 2 year old pup, Jerry, who's a lovable 100lb mass of fluff and my best friend. Part of my main/seasonal job is working with herding and guardian dogs on a sheep farm. So I understand the importance in having balance between discipline and play. I've also offered pet-sitting for neighbors and even farm-sitting services. I'm currently working my farm job only two days a week (Fridays, and Saturdays) until mid-February. Sunday through Thursday I'm extremely flexible and open for house/pet sitting and dog walking. I'm currently only open to pet sit in your home, drop by to play, and can offer walks/outings with your pup. I don't have the space to host your pup.

Since i still live at home I can not really have peoples dogs or cats stay with us but I can come to them.

About: Animals bring me so much happiness. I lived in a household with dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens and lizards for several years. I loved starting my day with them every morning. They all have their own special personalities. It would be my pleasure to spend time with your pets and make them feel loved and cared for. I will provide exercise and playing, medication administration, provide your pet with fresh food and water or just some cuddle time if needed. If you need additional services I am more than happy to try and accommodate you. Our pets are a part of our families and I will do my best to make sure they feel happy, safe and comfortable in their environment. It's all about the animals for me. I have a pretty flexible schedule and love to stay busy. Nothing makes me happier than filling my days caring for your pets. I am coming into your home and want your animal to be as comfortable as possible. I want to make sure their daily routine stays the same and they feel safe, relaxed and happy with me.

I regularly house sit and pet sit for friends and family. I also care for animals every day at the Brevard Zoo and have cared for others at previous jobs such as the St. Augustine Alligator Farm and Zoological Park, the May Wildlife Rehabilitation Center and the Avian Conservation Center: Center for Birds of Prey.
