Dog Walking New Salem

About: I have been raised with a pet by side. When I have born we had two brittany spaniels that have since passed on. In 8th grade, after they passed, we adopted another puppy brittany. A year later, we adopted another, to have our current pair of brittanys. So I have experience raising puppies as well. I play with them outdoors and indoors, brush them, clean up their poop, bath them, feed them, and train them. They also get taken on walks at the local forest preserve for stimulation. I have experience in caring for fish and snakes. Between dogs, I had my cat to keep me company. She is solely my cat, so she got the same attention as the dogs, plus I bought her toys, treats, litter, and food. Outside of my dogs I have pet sit goldens labs, goldendoodles, springer spaniels, and many other breeds. As in my headline, I don't think any animal is low maintenance. That just means the pet isn't getting the care it deserves. I had my cat at my dorm first semester, and I fed her breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I made sure to play with twice a day and we played birds on the tv for stimulation as well. I had a weekly schedule to brush her twice a week, and clean the litter box every Sunday and Wednesday. At home I would alternate playing with my dogs, training, and brushing them whenever possible. I can play indoors and outdoors. I can take the animal for walks. Clean up any potential messes, such as muddy dogs or if a cat has a hairball. I can accompany senior pets that need help eating. I can brush the animal. And feed them, and do basic training.

About: For the past 4 years, I’ve provided loving, dependable care for cats, dogs, and birds through overnight stays, drop-in visits, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and walks. Cats are my specialty! I’m very experienced with feline behavior, shy cats and multi-cat households. I love making pets feel calm and comfortable while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for dogs with different energy levels and routines, including daily walks, companionship, and overnight care. In addition, I have hands on experience with tropical birds and understand the importance of patience, consistency and attention to detail when caring for exotic pets. What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give every animal! I take my time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I am reliable, communicative, and committed to making pet parents feel confident while they’re away through regular updates and attentive care. I am currently a part-time worker at a local pharmacy and a Full-Time college student looking to make extra money while doing what I love. I am free at least 3-4 days a week, the more notice the better I can work around your preferred schedule. My preference is afternoons, however if mornings or nights are needed I can accommodate! I am more free during week days but can make time on weekends around my work schedule as I typically only work 5-6 hour shifts. I currently can not offer my personal living quarters for care, however I am able to travel up to 40 miles to stay with or check on pets. If you are in need of someone urgently and live outside a 40 mile radius please message me directly and I may be able to still work with you! I will walk, feed, stay with, play with and care for various cats and dog breeds! I also have experience with tropical birds and fish if need be. I will clean up after all animals and leave your home tidy and neat, as well as provide updates at your desired time span i.e (Daily, Hourly, Etc.).

About: I’ve taken care of small dogs, medium dogs, kittens, parrots, and farm animals since 2015. I was also able to pet sit while studying abroad in Australia. I am now employed full-time, but it is standard business hours, so I am able to work around them for visits, walking, and boarding. I have two cats in addition to my dog and they are well acclimated to each other and friendly to other animals. Safety is important, leads only come off in-doors or inside fenced in areas. Pets are handled with care and I am always mindful of their comfort in various environments.

About: I’m a caring and reliable pet lover with experience caring for dogs of different ages. I have two dogs of my own, ages 11 and 6, as well as a cat, so I understand the importance of giving pets love, attention, and proper care. I enjoy spending time with animals and would love to help keep your furry friends happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away! I currently work part-time as a bartender about three days a week, which gives me a flexible schedule to accommodate pet visits.

My home is a safe, welcoming, and spacious two-story house with a fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy outdoor time. I have two friendly dogs and a cat of my own, so caring for animals is a natural part of my life. My cat usually keeps to himself and hides when company visits, giving your pet plenty of space to feel comfortable. I’m happy to crate your furry friend as well. I'm also happy to care for your animals in the comfort of their own home, where I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’ll always be respectful of your home, keep your pet secure, make sure doors and gates are properly closed, and double check that everything is locked and safe before leaving. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are always my priorities!

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including my 3-year-old Goldendoodle and 8-year-old Golden Retriever. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and giving both energetic and senior dogs the attention they need. I’m flexible and able to work around most schedules, including weekdays, weekends, and overnight stays with advance notice, and I’ll always communicate clearly to confirm timing before each booking. When your pet is with me, you can expect consistent care, attention, and safety, including walks, playtime, feeding, and water checks exactly as instructed, along with a calm and patient approach for all dog personalities and energy levels. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing, and I treat every dog like family. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority at all times. I provide a calm, secure, and supervised environment where dogs are never left unattended during care, and I always follow owner instructions carefully for feeding, walks, and routines. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable, whether they’re energetic or more laid-back. I also keep a clean environment and make sure pets are always in a safe space during visits or stays.

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: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover based on a 10-acre homestead in Pageland, SC. I specialize in structured, safe boarding with supervised outdoor time and secure indoor accommodations. We have a brand-new 6-foot wooden privacy fence enclosing our backyard, providing a secure area for dogs to exercise, stretch, and explore during supervised potty breaks and play sessions. Guests stay in our large climate-controlled sunroom outfitted with seven kennels, giving each dog their own secure space to rest comfortably between outdoor time, meals, and enrichment. Crate rotation and routine breaks are built into our daily schedule, ensuring dogs have consistency and predictability. Crate & House Access Policy • Crating is standard when we are away or sleeping, and during rest periods. • Potty breaks are offered approximately every 2 hours during waking hours. • For older, calm, fully house-trained, non-destructive, and cat-friendly dogs, free-roam house access may be considered on a case-by-case basis with owner request and compatibility assessment. • Dogs with separation anxiety, destructive tendencies, or unsafe habits (counter-surfing, door-bolting, etc.) will remain on our structured crate schedule for their safety. Experience & Approach I’ve owned and cared for everything from hedgehogs and geckos to chickens, horses, and working-breed dogs. I’m comfortable with: • Medication administration (oral or topical) • Senior dogs • Puppies & house-training stages • Reactive or shy personalities • High-energy dogs who require clear routines • Multi-dog coexistence and safe rotations My husband runs his own business and is home most of the time, ensuring someone is almost always present for supervision, potty break intervals, and routine care. I am home evenings and weekends, and we work together to provide structure, security, and consistent monitoring. What You Can Expect • Individual crate spaces (no shared kennels) • 6-ft fully fenced private yard • Consistent potty break schedule (≈ every 2 hours) • Supervised outdoor time only • Optional house freedom only if fully compatible • Daily updates, photos, and communication We focus on safe, predictable, and tailored care based on each dog’s needs and the comfort level of their owner. Whether a pup thrives with structured crate rest or enjoys calm, supervised sunroom naps, we tailor stays responsibly rather than one-size-fits-all. I work full-time as an insurance producer in Monroe, NC from 8–5, Monday through Friday. I’m home all day on weekends, and during the week, my husband is at our homestead full-time and helps provide care and supervision. Since we work as a team, your pets will never be left alone for long periods. I’m also available for morning or evening drop-ins and walks depending on location and schedule! We live on a peaceful 10-acre homestead. We do not allow free play with other pets - so you know that your furry friend is safe and sound the entire stay! They will have supervised playtime with other pups from the same household, or with just our staff! Our top priority is a safe stay.

“Rachel is amazing! Very communicative and has the patience of a saint. She has walked my dogs when I’m away on long shifts at work and it gives me such a sense of comfort that she will be walking and visiting my pups.”

About: I’ve loved and taken care of dogs my whole life. Dogs usually gravitate to me out of anyone else in the room. I’m a super active person so I am able to match the playful energy with doggies. I have a relatively flexible schedule and am able to stay overnight multiple nights if needed. I do sometimes have to leave for periods at a time but I never stay away from my animals too long. I have 3 dogs of my own, as well as one that routinely comes over to stay for week long periods. I have my dogs sleep in the bed with me so basically I am super comfortable with any furry friends. I feed morning and night as well as treats when appropriate.

“We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and dog walker 🫶🏻”

“Kennedy was great to work with, super responsive, and happy to work with Blue. I'll be rebooking in the future.”

About: I’ve always loved animals since i can remember, back when i was younger my parents always tried to keep me away from animals and having too many but that still doesn’t stop me from having 3 of them! 🤭I have always taken care of cats since i can remember and lately i’ve been taking care of a few of my friends dogs whenever they need the extra help! I have had so many animals over the years from dogs to ferret to parrots and i absolutely love it! I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty (except for if you want me to take your cat a bath, i’ve learned from my mistakes and i would rather keep my life) but other than that i’m the one! even walking your pets i have no problem with! it will allow me to continue to procrastinate going to the gym and telling myself “this is my workout for the day” hahaha i hope to work with you soon! I am currently open anytime any day for drop ins or walks, so feel free to contact me! All I ask is that i’m asked at least 24/48 hours prior to the time needed! i am really all in for keeping pets safe! my family says i can be a little over protective over my animals but what can i say they are some sneaky rascals! But to give you a little insight i guess of how i take care of my animals is typically if i let my guinea pig out his cage to stretch his little legs i always block small entrances (because he will wiggle his way in there and get stuck lol) and i always pick up stuff off the floor i know he’ll chew on (one time i forgot to do this and he literally chewed the cord to my alexa😔) either way i just try to make sure i keep an eye on them (especially if their too quiet because that’s never good thing) and make sure i play with them and show them attention!

About: I've owned, trained and cared for dogs since I was little. I have experience with administering medications and making it as pleasant as possible. I also have some experience with basic grooming and love to brush out long haired dogs to help with shedding. I have a pup of my own that can be high energy but loves other dogs and can’t wait to play with your pup. I work from home so I am free to help out any time of day. I can be flexible on hours and usually I am able to go on short notice. I will spend time with your dog so they get the attention they need. I can take your good girl or boy to the dog park, on runs with me, or anything else that your furry family member enjoys. My dog loves all other dogs and can’t wait to play with yours. I have a large fully fenced backyard that is great to play and have fun.
