Dog Walking Rockwell

About: I have spent my whole life around animals—dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, snakes, and more! I even bottle-fed a rabbit from birth. I’m comfortable caring for animals of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m very attentive to each pet’s individual needs and love making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part-time at a restaurant in the mornings only once or twice a week, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m able to work around your pet’s needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and time. I’m also happy to communicate ahead of time to make sure my availability works well with your schedule! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will always follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m respectful of your home and will make sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and never left without the care they need. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and pictures so you can feel confident that your pets are happy and well cared for!

About: I love dogs and have enjoyed working with them in many capacities since I was a child and formally for over 15 years. I am a Canine Good Citizen evaluator and have spent years training loving companions. I am certified in Canine CPR and First Aid by the American Red Cross and undergo annual recertifications to stay current on the latest first-aid procedures. I also have experience administering both oral medications and injections. Before your pups stay, we have each family fill out a form for their furry companion. This helps us get to know them better in order to make their stay easier. I have no breed preference and are familiar with handling working canines.  Your pup is welcome in our home, and our couch is open to your furry pooch.  However, I also understand there are dogs who prefer to be outside and are not easily accommodated indoors. I also have covered outdoor runs for those families who still need a vacation but whose pups enjoy more fresh air and natural surroundings. I am happy to accommodate each family's preference. No matter what, canines are treated to lots of exercise and playtime. I wake up and start the day off with morning let out. After each group has been let we come back in for feeding. Morning feedings normally allow for 30-45 minutes before letting out again for a potty break. They are brought back in, crated, and pups are rotated out for play inside throughout the day. I let out every 2-4 hours through the day or more if needed. I do have the option to add on trail walks for those who have social canines who are good with other dogs and people (I will not be introducing them to others but it is a requirement to the trail). In the evening we normally do the last feeding at 7 pm followed by yard play and starting to settle in. Last potty break is at 10 pm. Note: Although I am at home full time I do on occasion leave our home to run errands. Your dog can be left alone for up to 4 hours (max). If this is ever the case your pup will always be crated and secure. For your pup's safety They are never given free rein while unsupervised. I take the safety of your furry companion very seriously. Canines are let out for potty breaks every 2-4 hours (or as needed, if required more frequently). I have a fenced-in yard so your pup will be safe during potty breaks. I do not allow companions from other families to play with each other. This is a safety measure. Your pup can be under a lot of stress when you're gone and I want to make their stay as smooth and relaxing as possible. This doesn't mean I will not be playing with your pup ourselves! I love playing fetch, puzzle games, and even tug with them. I do allow for several outings in the house throughout the day so they can get plenty of one-on-one attention inside as well as extra pets. I have 5 acres that are attached to the national preserve. If your furry companion is social and enjoys walks, I have several trails I am happy to take them on upon request (weather permitting). All outings are on leash only.

“Jessye is an incredible resource! She is very flexible with her hours, is beyond kind, and will take the time your fur baby needs to feel loved and cared for. 10/10 will be booking again!”

About: I grew up in a household with dogs. I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 19. I specialize in smaller breed dogs and have worked with Senior dogs. I take the time to get to know them and for them to get to know me. I want them to feel comfortable and safe. I am currently working part time from home. So, I will have plenty of time to play with your pups, spoil them and love on them. Will host your fur baby in my home Monday through Friday with drop off between 7-8am. with pick up as late at 5:30pm. I have a large fenced in yard with almost a half-acre of space. I have four fur babies of my own looking for some new friends. They are very friendly; one is a senior dog he sleeps most of the time. Play time both inside and outside. When inside dogs are allowed to roam anywhere in the house with the exception of the bedrooms. I keep a very clean, tidy home that is free from harsh chemicals. All products used in my home are not only safe for humans but for pets too. Outside is kept up as well. mowing once a week in the summer. dog waste clean-up several times per week. Dogs have full access to all areas outdoors in the fenced in yard and will never be left unattended while outside. During the summer we have a few splash pads that the dogs use to stay cool. And no matter the time of year water is always plentiful. All of my pups are fully vaccinated and update with shots & flea and tick medication.

About: I’ve been working with animals since I was 15 and have loved every minute of it. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and right at home until you return. Living an active lifestyle has taught me the importance of reliability and balance. No matter what’s on my schedule, I always make time to give every pet the attention, affection, and care they deserve. Whether your dog loves to play, relax, or just have someone nearby, they’ll feel right at home here. My goal is to provide a safe, happy, and loving environment so you can travel with complete peace of mind.

About: I've been caring for dogs for 6 years, my own dog is a Chorkie (Chihuahua/Yorkie mix), who I've had since he was a puppy. I also have experience caring for an American Bulldog, giving me experience with both large and small breeds. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and keeping dogs company. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ll treat your pet with the same care I give my own. I currently am a college student as well as working part time in the mornings. I am available any time after 11:30 AM on weekdays & weekends except for Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am available in the morning/early morning on Wednesdays and Thursdays. When caring for your pet, I’ll treat both your pet and your space with respect. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet supervised and safe, and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated throughout my visit.

About: My approach to pet care is rooted in adaptability. Whether providing a high-intensity trek for an energetic puppy or a gentle, patient stroll for a senior companion, I tailor every outing to the specific needs of the breed and temperament. With a personal daily average of 15,000 steps, I am undeterred by the elements and committed to maintaining your pet's routine with professional consistency. From powerful working breeds to delicate companions, I provide a reliable, high-standard experience for every dog in my care. Pet care is my primary focus, allowing me to offer exceptionally flexible and open availability for your feline and canine companions. Because I do not have a traditional 9-to-5 commitment, I am able to fully integrate into your pet’s established schedule, ensuring they receive meals, exercise, and attention exactly when they expect them. I pride myself on being a reliable, full-time presence, undeterred by early mornings or late evenings, to maintain the consistency your pet needs to thrive while you are away. I exclusively offer care within the comfort and familiarity of your own home to minimize stress for your pets. I approach pet sitting with a high level of diligence and a detail-oriented mindset, taking the responsibility of following your specific household routines and safety protocols very seriously. Whether it is adhering to a precise medical regimen, maintaining strict leash safety during our walks, or providing quiet, intuitive companionship for your cats, my goal is to provide a secure, high-standard environment where your pet feels prioritized and safe.

About: I grew up on a farm and would always help my parents take care of our horses, llamas, goats, pigs, dogs, cats, donkeys, peacocks, and ducks since I was a little girl. I helped raise many babys and senior animals. I’m currently in online college for a Veterinary Technician program degree and a front Desk Assistant General Manager who works Monday-Thursday 2pm-10pm, Saturday 7am-2pm and I am always off Sunday. I am able to change my hours depending on your pups needs. A week notice in advance would be amazing if possible but I understand things come up or just planned last minute no worries. I am here to help and willing to work around your schedule and what’s best for your fur babies. I have a huge back yard for your fur baby to play and have fun outside. I am active outside and love playing catch or going on walks/run around my neighborhood. I do have one cat who loves going outside on her leash. I also have a shop dog who loves to be active and play in the water. I always have cat and dog food laying out and multiple water bowls around the house. I do allow my fur babies on the couch and bed.

“Caroline was so great! Took the time out of her day to come meet me before hand and sent me lots of pictures while she was here! Definitely will use again!”

About: I’m a big dog and cat lover. I have owned and taken care of my own pets for at least the last 6+ years. I take pride in a job well done. I have been working for a vet for the last few weeks and have picked up a few key thing to look for if your animal is sick or having problems. I am home most of the time which gives me great opportunity to focus on your fur babies. When you leave your pet in my care it will be as if you never left. I will give them the undivided attention they need to keep them calm and happy. I love all animals and look forward to taking care of your fur babies.

About: I have taken care of all sorts of pets since I was very little. I know how to give meds and can administer basic training. While your baby is here he/she will become apart of the family till you pick him/her up. We wake up with our toddler which will be about 6:30 every morning. We will then take your pet out for a walk and then keep to what ever schedule you have set for your pet. We are a very active family so your pets will probably be outdoors with us going hiking or just playing outside. I currently don't have a fenced in yard but I will put a leash on your pet till I get one

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 full 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.

“Lori was a pleasure to work with. Mollie fell in love with her and her affectionate care during their walks. I would not hesitate to ask for her assistance in the future when and if needed. I highly recommend Lori for anyone who needs their pet looked after or walked or for any other service she offers. She's a Five Star for your Furbabies!”

“Cayli is great! She came over a couple times for a visit so my skittish pup could warm up to her before walking her. That helped my pup tremendously. She does great updates and I hope to have her walk my pups again.”
