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. I’m generally available in the early mornings through the late afternoons, with additional availability after work and for late-night visits any day of the week. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets receive the care, attention, and consistency they deserve! 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!

“Hannah was excellent with our animals. Whenever we had to make different accommodations she was very responsive and able to meet our needs. I will definitely be rebooking with Hannah as she took great care of our animals and they enjoyed her company as well.”

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: 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. I would be able to provide walks and daily care for your pet. I have two cats and one dog who are very loving to all humans and animals . I want your pet to feel comfortable while you are away.

About: Hello, I have had a dog since I was a little girl that I helped take care of back home until I moved away to college. I miss taking care of my dog. Feeding them, bathing them, & taking them on walks. I work remote most days so I’m pretty flexible with my time. I will be able to pour a lot of time into the dogs. I will let them be free in my townhome. I can also use a crate if needed. I like to let them be free. Pets are like a therapy to me so I will be playing with them and just making sure they are getting the attention they deserve and need.

“Julia really took an interest in Bennie and he loves her! She asked questions to make sure she could be prepared to care for him. Bennie took long walks with Julia and really got his exercise! Julia is responsible and truly a dog lover! I highly recommend her!”

“Rachel was great with my dog Chance (60 lb Husky/ lab mix). I recently visited the Charlotte area and brought Chance with me. I was very nervous as I had not used Rover before and we were far from home. Rachel texted the day before to confirm, which put my mind at ease. Chance loved Rachel immediately. She was kind, loving and patient with Chance. She had excellent control over him on his walks and made his safety top priority. She was a strong communicator who gave us updates and pictures. If I ever return to Charlotte and need a dog walker or sitter, I would definitely rebook Rachel. I highly recommend her! 5 ⭐ ⭐⭐⭐ ⭐ from me and Chance!!!”

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.

About: If your pet loves belly rubs, adventure walks, playtime, or just having a new best friend to hang out with, we’ll get along great! 🐾 I’ve had dogs basically my whole life and have cared for pups of all breeds, sizes, personalities, and dietary needs (currently with my own doodle and Aussie mix with food sensitivities). Whether your dog is a zoomies champion or a professional couch potato, I’m happy to match their energy and make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained. I’m also the proud parent of two very spoiled black tuxedo cats, so I know cats are the ones who really run the house. 😸 I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box care, enrichment, and respecting every cat’s unique personality—whether they want endless playtime or prefer to supervise me from across the room. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family, with plenty of love, patience, treats (if allowed!), cuddles, and attention. My goal is for your pets to have just as much fun on their staycation as you do on your vacation! ❤️🐶🐱 Im currently working full-time and am looking for some extra babies for me to love on! I have a good support system to help me with my own fur babies and I’d like to be that support for you! Let’s connect! I cannot board in my home as I live in a multi-animal home with five fur babies. However, I can provide care in your home and can follow instructions left by you in order to take care of your fur baby.

“Kyla was so great!!! Really communicative and easy to work with. Thank you so much :)”

About: I have grown up around dogs and cats my entire life and have experience with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. My experience includes large breeds such as Mastiffs and Pit Bulls, French Bulldogs, Dachshunds, domestic cats, Sphynx cats, and feral cats. I have also worked in a doggy daycare under the supervision of a veterinarian, which gave me additional experience in a professional animal-care setting. I understand the importance of patience, safety, following care instructions, and recognizing that every animal has different needs and behaviors. I am passionate about providing loving, attentive care and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to give pet owners peace of mind while they are away. i am currently working part time so i will have plenty of time to play with your fur baby’s! i’m available for over nights as well! When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s routine, feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I give them plenty of attention, patience, and affection while making sure they get the exercise and care they need.

About: I would say that I’m a fairly laid back person who loves all animals and enjoys getting to know them and discovering their different personalities. They’re kind of like excited toddlers in that way. Each having their own unique personalities and needs. I’d love to have pets of my own one day and until then am excited to help others care for their own 🤍✨ I’m currently working as a baker in one of the local hospitals so my mornings are fairly limited. However I available for some early afternoon or late evening love from your pups! I’m also using this as an opportunity to see if I’ll be ready for a pet companion of my own in the near future as I’m still figuring this life and adulthood thing out! I currently live in a townhome with a small back patio; while I do offer boarding services, I’ve found that pets tend to be more at ease in their own homes more often than not.
