Dog Walkers in Salem, SC

“Magan was a big help with Lucy. Lucy can be stubborn about walking with anyone but her Mom and Dad, but Magan was able to coax her and complete her afternoon walks. We had never used Rover before but this was a positive experience and if needed, would use Magan again.”

“Joslyn is such a gem! We are so grateful to have found her to walk our dog. She is always professional, very communicative, and, most of all, she takes care of our doggo and loves on her like she is her own. Joslyn is flexible and adjusts to our dog’s unique needs and preferences. She knows how to read our dog’s body language to know what she needs and when. I highly recommend Joslyn!”

About: I’ve had lifelong experience caring for pets of my own and have spent the past 6 years pet sitting for others. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly treat every pet in my care like family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, as well as cats and other small pets. From playful puppies to senior pets who need a gentler pace, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique routine and needs. I’m confident with: • Feeding schedules and special diets • Daily walks and exercise • Basic medication administration • Maintaining routines and house rules • Sending regular photo and video updates My goal is always to provide loving, reliable care so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I build my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings, I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine. I make time every day for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and lots of affection. I’m very mindful about not overbooking so that each pet gets the focused care and attention they deserve. Because animals have always been a big part of my life, caring for them doesn’t feel like an extra task — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and plan my week around. When caring for pets in their own home, my top priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special preferences to ensure consistency and comfort. I provide: • Fresh food and water at each visit • Clean litter boxes or yard clean-up as needed • Walks and exercise based on your pet’s energy level • Playtime, enrichment, and companionship • Plenty of affection (if they enjoy it!) • Detailed updates with photos after each visit I also treat every client’s home with the utmost respect — keeping things tidy, secure, and exactly as you left them. My goal is for you to return to a happy pet and a well-cared-for home.

“Kathleen was so incredibly patient and understanding with my very timid dog. So communicative and helpful. I really appreciate her!”

About: I have always loved dogs! I used to get so mad at my parents as a kid for making our dog stay outside alone. I used to sit outside with her to make sure she always felt loved. When I turned 20 I adopted my first dog, Lily a Great Dane, and then at 23 my husband and I adopted our little chipper! We’ve had a turtle and lots of fish in between then and now! I always loved going on adventures with them: lots of road trips, hikes, runs and trips to the beach (when we lived there). Lily is no longer with us but was the best dog to adventure with. Our 13 year old chipper is starting to slow down and his arthritis is causing him to be unable to walk as far as we used to. He’s been on all the hikes around here, we would go to watering holes and beaches. With smallish kids and busy schedules we are not planning on adopting another dog anytime soon. I miss having a buddy to go on hikes in the woods with so if you want your pup to have an adventure I am here to help! I’m a full time mom but I don’t pick up my youngest from school until 11:30 am. I will have 3 hours everyday free M-Fr. I would love to take your best friend out into the woods to offer him more enrichment than he could get just in a neighborhood! I would be willing to buy a harness for a dog to be kept in the back seat while traveling- if that would make you comfortable! I’ve got window locks on my back door windows to make sure they don’t jump out. I am not willing to take a dog if the lead during hikes even if they have a great recall- too much can happen in the woods! I’m pretty confident on the hikes that I take and I only go places that I am familiar with the terrain.

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, and I truly love every moment of it. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, including seniors and energetic puppies. I always focus on keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable, whether it's for daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays. You can count on me to treat your pet like my own! As a college student, my schedule is flexible between classes. I can do late mornings, midday check-ins, and early evenings, with open weekends for extended care or overnights. Your pet's routine comes first. I care for pets in their own homes so they can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. I always follow your instructions carefully and keep your pet's routine consistent. Whether it's walks, playtime, or feeding, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and love taking care of them. Started to learn to train puppies about a year ago I’m still in the process of learning more. I currently have no job so I have an open availability. Dogs are not allowed at the house I stay at due to multiple animals already living there. I care for animals the best I know how unless given special instructions by the pet owner then I will go by those instructions given.

About: I have been trusted with the care of my neighbors and family friends pets since I was around 10 years old. I have taken care of many dogs, cats, and children and even the occasional ferret, bunny, or bird. I’m very experienced with senior dogs and cats. From administering medication or giving baths, to changing doggy diapers, you can rest assured that your child, I mean pet, is in good hands. I am most available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Friday-Sundays all day. I’m available after 3pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I go to Clemson University so I have class, but other than that I am very flexible. I always make sure to give animals all my attention while they are under my care. I also make sure to follow the rules and schedules of the owners completely.

About: I have grown up with animals my whole life. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I am a nurse and enjoy pet sitting in my free time. I have done pet sitting for several clients and have references if needed I currently have a remote nurse job so I have one plenty of free time to play with and take care of your fur babies. My 3 dogs are friendly and play well with others. I have crates where I can board dogs at night or during nap time or seperate them if needed. Also offer the dogs to run free in the house if that’s what they are accustomed to .

About: I have been a pet lover since birth. Throughout my life, I had lived with dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, snakes and even a pet skunk. I have been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to assist and care for injured and rehabilitated raptors, spent several years as a foster mom for orphaned bats, and assisted in researching black bears. I currently live with three sweetie pie pups, a 9 and 6 year old golden retrievers, Deal and Bear and a 7 year old mixed rescue named Carly. I am available to come to your home and walk, run, feed, water, cuddle, and play with your animal(s). Your pets will love me and I will love them back. I am currently working from my home, so I have plenty of availability for whatever and whenever you need someone to help out with your home and pets. I will keep a watchful eye out for your animals and send frequent photos and updates to you while your babies are under my care.

“Ariel is great. Loves animals ❤️ and goes above and beyond.”
