Dog Walkers in Richland, SC

“I am thrilled to leave a glowing review for Sean. From the moment I reached out to him, his professionalism and passion for animals were evident. First and foremost, Sean’s communication is top-notch. He promptly responded to my initial inquiry and was very accommodating in scheduling a meet and greet. During our meeting, he took the time to get to know my dog and asked detailed questions about his needs, preferences, and any special instructions. His attentiveness and genuine interest in my dog's well-being immediately put me at ease. During walks, Sean consistently goes above and beyond. He always arrives on time. He takes my dog on long, enjoyable walks, ensuring he gets plenty of exercise and fresh air. Additionally, Sean provides regular updates and photos, which I greatly appreciated. It was reassuring to see my dog happy and content during his walks. His attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile truly impresses me! I cannot recommend Sean enough! His passion for animals, exceptional care, and outstanding communication make him the perfect choice for anyone in need of a reliable and trustworthy dog walker. I am grateful to have found such a dedicated individual and will continue to use his services again in the future.”

“Teresa is very professional! Before the first walk, she came by to meet my pup, which it was really nice to talk with her. It was my first time using Rover and was really happy Teresa was my first walker!”

About: I grew up on a farm with dogs. We had hunting dogs, working dogs, and lap dogs. Sometimes those were all the same. I learned how to connect and work with dogs at an early age and have never been without a dog in my life. Whenever my friends need help, they always ask me first. My current dog is a female goldendoodle that I love very much and I’ll be sure to show your pet the same care! I’m currently in grad school so my schedule is pretty flexible depending on the week. Weekends are usually my most open time, but I’m also free to do walkings and boardings during the week. I have a large fenced in back yard with plenty of space to run around. Inside, there’s plenty of place for your dog and mine and they should get along quite well. My dog does not have a mean bone in her body. If needed, I can separate your pet during feeding etc, as I have a gate to block off sections of the house.

“Morgan is wonderful! She sends lots of pictures/updates, and is so loving towards my beagle Neptune. 100/10 would recommend her!”

“Was very grateful Becky was able to walk Roxy without meeting her prior and dealing with logistics of us being in a hotel room. Great communication!”

“Sasha is a great Rover walker and I highly recommend her services to anyone! My dog Hazel is very shy with everyone she meets, but she immediately took a liking to Sasha and now every time she comes by to take Hazel on a walk, Hazel looks ecstatic in every picture that Sasha sends me from the walks. It makes me happy to know that my dog is in good hands while I'm away during the day, so I highly recommend booking her for any of your pet needs.”

I am in a masters program at USC- Columbia. I am out of work now due to school. I am home after clinicals and class but weeekends I tend to be home most of the time. My dogs stay uncaged in my home and i let them out multiple times a day. I have classes mon-wed. My dogs are spoiled and have plenty of snacks and play dates with my friend's dog.

About: I have a family dog that I helped train. We got her in 2020, and I had a dog before her. I would dog sit for my neighbors back home all through high school. I current complete research from home. I am in school until the end of April, but after that I will be home all day available to be home with your pets! When I am in school, I have class from 8am - 12pm each day. I have a fenced area near my town home. I also have a 3 story house for playing inside. I go on walks very often and would take the dog if that is allowed. Your dog would definitely get exercise with me if that is something you’d be looking for!

On any kind of day, I would love to give your family member a walk/run in the neighborhood or at a nearby park/path or whichever they prefer to get some fresh year and exploration through the smells/sights. For the playful pup, I love to run around and play with them until the sun goes down.

I can not wait to meet your furry family member and give them all the pets and love they fully deserve!

“Merrell was so easy to work with. She texted me when she got to my place to walk my dog, and even sent me a picture. I will for sure have Merrell walk my Beanie again!”
