Dog Walking Rougemont

About: I grew up having a dog and a cat (plus a rabbit, fish, hamster, gerbils, and a guinea pig)! I always had a love for animals. During my young adult years I housesat for multiple different families. When I had young children, I continued to do drop in visits and we had dogs come stay with us. As a homeschool mom, I have plenty of time in my day to come visit with your pet! I look forward to serving in Person County since we recently moved to the area! We are able to board now that we have moved into our new house. We prefer non shedding dogs. We prefer to take one dog at a time but depending on the situation, we may be open to taking two. Your dog must get along with other dogs. We have a 4 year old female goldendoodle. She has gotten along with every dog we have watched thus far. Your dog must also be friendly with kids. We have an 8 year old and 12 year old who love dogs! We require you to bring your dog for a meet and greet before boarding to make sure it is a safe environment for all of us! Thank you for understanding! I'm currently a stay at home mom that is homeschooling my two children. We have plenty of time in our day to spend time with your pet! We love the pets in our care as if they were our own! We have a 4 year old female goldendoodle that would love to play with your pet!

About: I previously worked at a doggy daycare for a few months. The work included supervised group play, cleaning up messes, and taking them for walks. I take college classes on MON-WED which lets me use the rest of my time for taking care of your pets at any time of the day. I will travel to your home to take care of your pets or just spend time walking around with them, I am very detail oriented so I will follow whatever instructions you give me.

“This is our first time using Ashley to let our dog out in the middle of the day. She is fantastic! Our dog is weary of strangers and Ashley handled the situation really well- she went at his pace and spent some extra time with him. She sent a lot of photos and a detailed description of her time with Rowan. I would definitely use her again!”

About: Since I was younger I have been house sitting for families. I am very passionate about pets, and would love to be able to help you out! I have a full time work schedule but have very random weekdays off. I can be your girl for those random drop ins when you’re not able to get home! I currently live with my cat Nelly and family dog, Roo. My dog is getting much older so him and I like to go on shorter walks these days.

About: Hey there! I have a friendly pit mix. I’m super active and love spending time with dogs and going hiking. I am in school to become a dog trainer. I have a few tricks up my sleeve. If you need to brush up on some training, I will do so and follow your instructions. I also love working with reactive/challenging dogs. Seeing the moment they understand what they are supposed to do is amazing and so rewarding. I love all types of animals and look forward to spending time with your pet(s) I am available full time but need to come and go to care for my own dog. I typically wake up pretty early and start my mornings with a long walk. I will follow all instructions and routines. If your dog likes to go on hikes or trips to the park, I’m all for it :) as for cats, lots of play if they are active kitties or just chill on the couch and hang out :)

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have experience caring for both big dogs, small dogs, and cats. Back home in Tennessee, I have 2 Yorkies and a Goldendoodle, and I’ve also helped neighbors, friends, and family care for their pets over the years. I’m patient, dependable, and love making pets feel comfortable and cared for. I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to work around your pet’s specific needs and routine. I typically work mornings during the week and am usually home by mid afternoon, but I can adjust my schedule as needed for walks, potty breaks, feedings, playtime, and medication schedules. I make it a priority to give pets plenty of attention, consistency, and companionship so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I always do my best to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while in my care. I pay close attention to each pet’s normal routine, energy level, feeding schedule, and any special instructions so they can stay as stress free as possible. I’m experienced with walks, potty breaks, playtime, crating if needed, and giving pets space when they need it. I also make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are being well cared for.

“Reliable, kind and caring. I was very pleased. I hope to have Amy again.”

About: Most of my experience is with dogs of friends or co-workers. I generally keep their dogs at their place where they are most comfortable and take them out frequently for walks/runs or whatever they'd like to do. So long as the dog is house trained and not on the "forbidden breed list" at the apartments I stay, they are welcome to my home too. I've sat a Pointer/Dalmation mix, Maltese mix, Shepherd mix, Chow Chow, Boxer, Cane Corso, and 2 Weimaraners in the past. My fulltime job is a nurse, and I only work 36 hours a week. I don't really consider pet sitting or walking a job because I love dogs so much. Just looking to make some extra income and maybe start my own business someday. I have a laid back personality and dogs tend to take to me immediately or at least stay true to their breeds. Chow Chow was my brother-in-law's dog who barked at me a good 3-4 times before she knew I wasn't a total stranger. Bothered me none.

About: I have had a pet since I was 5 years old. I am very drawn to animals and nature . I am very patient and full of energy I have an open schedule so I am available for many different shifts and I am flexible able to work around your schedule.

I keep their environment calm, clean, and safe, follow their schedule, and make sure they always feel loved abd secure.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life! My family had a wonderful mutt that arrived the same year that I was born, so he was essentially my puppy sibling. He has long passed away but I also have many years of experience dog sitting for my family and friends and can provide references. My current place won't let me have pets, so it will be awesome to get my fix by taking care of your wonderful dogs! I can't wait to meet them. I have a full time Monday-Friday job, but I am available on weekends, and after 5:30 during the week. I can be flexible, and try to accommodate your ad your pet's needs! Safety is my first priority. I will never have company or even food delivery inside of your home, and will never provide your address to anyone else, unless it is an emergency, in which case I will contact you directly first and get your permission to call my emergency contact (my mother)! I will make sure I feed and walk your dogs(s) consistently, and of course play with them and give them attention while you are away. I do not mind doing light housework, and I am comfortable with sitting for more than one dog.

About: As long as I can remember I’ve lived with animals. Not just dogs, I’ve raised chickens, Guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, geckos, and I helped birth puppies once 😂 My partner and I are full time Pet Sitters! We are available to house sit on weekdays, weekends, holidays, and overnight. We require a meet and greet before all of our sits and prefer booking confirmation 2 weeks before your trip, but we do have sympathy for emergency situations and are always happy to help. Whenever I take care of your animal I will always make sure to take very good care of the home I’m staying in, as well as the animal or animal’s I’m taking care of. I’ve never once missed a meal time or potty break. Any Pet sitter can promise to take care of your Animals basic needs, but I can promise you your animals will be loved by me the same way as if you never left, while you’re away. If there’s any Training you’d like me to keep up with while you’re gone, just let me know and I’ll make sure to practice with them.
