Dog Walking Park Crossing

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years, from energetic puppies as a kid growing up to wise senior dogs with special needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, medication, or just being a calm and reassuring presence, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels — from zoomies to couch potatoes. I work full time remotely, with slight travel on an annual basis. My schedule is pretty flexible! Perfect for early mornings, lunch, or afternoon care with weekend availability majority of the time! When I care for your pet in your home, I treat it like my own — with respect, cleanliness, and attention to detail. I know how important it is to keep your pet’s routine and environment consistent, so I follow your instructions carefully and make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also send daily updates with pictures so you know everything’s going smoothly. My goal is to make sure your pets — and you — feel completely at ease.

“Skylar was a great dog walker for our senior pup. She was always on-time and took great care of Daisy throughout her walk. We'll be working with her again in the future!”

About: I have always had a dog growing up but rescued my own dog, almost 7 years ago and trained him from 1 month old. The experience intensified my love for dogs and training them! I am used to going on walks, potty training, and feeding schedules as well as accommodating quirks (my guy can be weird so I get it lol). I work full time from home so as long as I have notice of when I am needed it should work seamlessly in my life. If pet sitting at your home I want to keep your dog as comfortable and on routine as possible. I am well versed in all sorts of quirks so just let me know and I can adapt to whatever your pet needs. I will be diligent about following instructions and will give lots of attention and affection while you are away.

“Savannah has been absolutely wonderful with Seal! From the very beginning, she went above and beyond by scheduling a meet-and-greet to make sure it was a great fit and to learn all about Seal’s needs and routine. It was clear right away how thoughtful and attentive she is. Seal looks forward to their walks every day, and it’s been such a relief knowing she’s in such caring hands. Savannah is consistently punctual, incredibly communicative, and her Rover report cards are always detailed and reassuring. She’s also been very flexible with scheduling, which has been a huge help while I’ve been adjusting to a new job and navigating a new routine. Most importantly, Savannah treats Seal with so much care, attention, and affection—it truly shows in how happy Seal is after every walk. I’m so grateful we found her and would wholeheartedly recommend Savannah to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate dog walker!”

“Kristena is this patient, flexible and knowledgeable. She has the same breed of dog that I have and she’s giving me great insight on bear. When Bear returns home from the walk, he is so tired that all he can do is lay on the floor, which I appreciate very much. Since our chronic migraines and other health issues, I really appreciate all that Kristena how interacts with Bear.”

“Sarah and Dru were the best rovers I have ever seen. Super friendly, easy to communicate with, and EXTREMELY loving with my fur baby. Your dog is lucky if they get to have these folks take care of them.”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs since I can remember. Many neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to look after their lovely pets! I will adore them as if they were my own! I work a job that is remote throughout the week and I do find myself having a lot of extra time because of that. I have a pretty open schedule during the weekends so I’m very flexible and I’m willing to stay at your house or bring them over to interact with my own pet. I do have a fur baby of my own who is super friendly and loves everyone and anyone that will pay attention to him. “

“Samantha was able to walk Gemma last minute at lunch for a few days this past week. She was patient and kind with Gemma when she was very nervous at first. She kept me updated and sent photos. Would absolutely hire again. Great dog walker! Thank you !”

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life, and for the past 7 years I’ve cared for dogs hands-on (daily walks, sitting, feeding, and training, including obedience and teaching them fun tricks). I have so much patience and love to give, and I truly cherish every moment with them, whether it’s an active walk or just sitting with them when they’re sick. I adore puppies and love potty training them, but senior dogs have such a special place in my heart too. Caring for dogs has been part of my whole life, and honestly, this doesn’t feel like a job to me, it feels like getting to spend my day surrounded by furry friends while their pet parents are away. I have open availability for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and day care. I’m usually home all the time so I can easily work around your pet’s routine and can typically accommodate both weekday and weekend requests. I live in an apartment next to a park where I take dogs for a walk and some play and outdoor time. Inside my home they have a comfortable space to relax and settle in with toys, water stations and lots of sunlight and fans if needed. For drop-ins and house-sitting at your home, I closely follow your instructions and your pet’s usual routine to keep things consistent, and I send photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I pay attention to detail and I will love on your pet like it is my own. I will provide head scratches and belly rubs if the pet is comfortable. Over the summer I will be working part time at a store. My availability will look different week to week. Looking forward to taking care of your pets! I will follow guidelines about taking care of your pet(s). I will use caution when coming into contact with people or other animals during walks. For pet sitting, I will do frequent check-ins or stay at your place if requested.

“I can tell Katie truly cares for my pup. She is on time, very responsive, and I look forward to the pictures and all that she writes in the report card. Thank you, you’re a blessing!”

About: Dogs have been the center of my life for over 16 years. My journey started with my two little terriers. A Yorkie and a Silky Terrier who quickly turned my love for animals into a lifelong passion and purpose. Over the years I became the person friends, family, and neighbors call when they find an animal in need. Whether it's helping rescue a neglected dog, connecting someone with a shelter, or stepping in to care for a pet, I’ve always felt a deep responsibility to advocate for animals who can’t speak for themselves. In August 2023 I lost my soul dog, Lola, and the grief was overwhelming. In her honor, I began volunteering at the Charlotte Mecklenburg Animal Shelter in October 2023. Helping the dogs there reminded me how much love I still had to give. Since then I’ve fostered dogs for the shelter as well as local rescues like Peanut’s Place Small Dog Rescue and FurBabies Animal Rescue. Every foster that has passed through my home has received my full heart and dedication, and seeing them find loving homes has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. In 2024 I foster-failed with my sweet girl Lacey, who reminded me so much of Lola and became a permanent part of my family. Caring for rescue dogs has given me experience with dogs of many breeds, temperaments, and ages, from shy and scared pups to energetic personalities who just need guidance and love. Dogs aren’t just pets to me, they are family. I treat every dog in my care the same way I treat my own. I am currently working part-time, so I am home most of the day. My schedule is flexible and can make myself available for walks and feedings morning midday afternoons and evenings as needed. Providing a safe, loving, and calm environment is always my top priority. I live in a townhome with a small fenced backyard, and our neighborhood is extremely dog-friendly. Many of my neighbors have dogs, so I’m constantly out walking my dog and foster pups making sure they get exercise, enrichment, and fresh air. When caring for dogs in my home or yours, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as much as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also understand that every dog has a unique personality and comfort level, so I always take the time to learn their needs and boundaries. Safety and trust are incredibly important to me. I pay close attention to body language, keep a clean and calm environment, and ensure dogs always feel secure and comfortable. My experience volunteering, fostering, and walking dogs has helped me become very attentive to changes in behavior, energy, and stress levels. Whether your dog needs a relaxing walk, overnight care, or just someone to keep them company while you're away, you can trust that they will receive patience, love, and attentive care. As a bonus, I am fluent in both English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate with even more pet parents in our community.

About: I have taken care of dogs of different breeds since I was 13. Friends and family have relied on me for walks, potty breaks, feeding, bathing, and training. I have properly trained my 4 year old German Shepherd. I love and adore pets and will treat your dog the way you and your family would. I currently work from home, so I am able to take care of your pet Sunday-Friday during all times of the day as long as I do not have a scheduled meetings. I am happy to discuss certain schedules if you decide to work with me! I do not offer services within my own home. I am happy to come into your home as needed to properly care for your pet.
