Dog Walking Smallwood

About: Hi there! I’m Chelsea, and I’m a full-time sales professional and dog mom to a 3 year old Lhasa-Poo named Emilio. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and am comfortable with many breeds, ages, and personalities. I am very attentive and detailed and will take care of your fur baby like they are my own. I work fully remote and will have plenty of time for walks, playtime, and cuddles with your pet(s)! I typically have meetings mid mornings and afternoons, but my schedule has a lot of flexibility. I live in a secure apartment building with plenty of space in-unit for your baby. I’m comfortable with crate trained or free range pups! I’m also comfortable with watching your pet in their environment.

“Joseph was amazing!! He has gone above and beyond to make sure Finny had a nice long walk and had plenty of time to play with toys! I highly recommend Joseph.”

About: Passionate pet care professional, carrying years of experience taking care of the needs of animals, especially dogs. I've had a Chinese Crested Powder Puff (aged 15), a Chipoo Chinese Crested mix (aged 17), and multiple Jack Russell/Chihuahua/Shih Tzu mixes. I have some experience looking after cats as well! I am able to take care of pretty much all their essential needs. I can also provide playtime for pets under my supervision. I ensure that they are in a safe space and away from any hazards. I'm good at providing updates, with pictures included, so you know that your pet is doing well while you are away! I have a flexible schedule as of now. I'm not that busy during the week, so I am able to schedule pet care services as needed. I keep my own calendar updated, showing my availability for the month. I'm very attentive when it comes to any pets under my care. I make sure their nutritional needs are met and that they are kept away from any hazards that might be present.

“Amanda is great and super communicative. She was also able to accommodate a last minute walk for Finley which gave me peace of mind while I was away from home. I have already booked my next visit with Amanda and will definitely be using her services in the future!”

“This was our first experience we had working with a dog walker . Rachel absolutely loves dogs. She happily met with us a couple of times for a meet and greet. Once at her house and once at ours. We loved that she sent pictures, showed us the walking route, and gave us a doggie report after each walk. The days she was scheduled to walk were hot and her flexibility to come earlier than planned was highly appreciated. We will certainly use Rachel again.”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, including dogs, cats, a rabbit, and fish, so caring for animals has always been a normal part of my everyday life. I also have hands-on experience helping care for boarding and daycare dogs in my home, which has given me experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, routines, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, potty breaks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I’ve learned that every pet is different, so I pay attention to their individual personality and needs and follow the owner’s instructions and normal routine as closely as possible. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. On a typical weekend, I’m available throughout the day for morning potty breaks and feeding, walks, playtime, plenty of attention, and evening care. I’m able to adjust my schedule based on each pet’s normal routine, including meal times, walks, medications, and bedtime. My family also helps with pet care when needed, so pets have plenty of attention and supervision throughout their stay. Safety and comfort are really important in our home. When caring for pets from multiple families, dogs can be separated as needed so everyone has their own safe space to relax and decompress. Dogs are fed separately in their own crates or designated spaces to prevent food-related conflicts, and crates can also be used for rest or whenever an owner requests it. I try to make each pet’s stay feel as familiar and comfortable as possible, so owners are encouraged to bring their pet’s favorite bed, blanket, stuffed toy, or “lovey” from home. I follow each pet’s normal feeding, potty, medication, and sleeping routine as closely as possible. Pets are supervised during interactions, and I pay attention to their individual personalities and comfort levels rather than expecting every dog to immediately become best friends. My goal is to give each pet plenty of attention while also making sure they have a comfortable, secure place to retreat and relax when they need it.

“Thank you so much for watching my pup, Zaida! I do appreciate you bringing over more pet supplies since I ran out and cleaning up the mess from my pup. You communicated well and showed Jade tender, love, and care. Thank you again! 💕”

“Hi Anthony-I appreciated you being available in short notice. And I’m grateful for the time you gave on Friday. I am going to cancel the bookings for this week though because the extra dog fee was more than I am used to paying for a 30 minute walk. It has nothing to do with you - you were great.”

About: I currently have an eight month old puppy and I also watch a four year-old dog weekly! I have a very flexible remote job so I’m always ready to help! I can help out whenever during the week & on weekends just let me know in advance and I’m happy to take your pet out for a nice walk or pop in! Ready to help walk your pup to get their exercise in or to just go the bathroom, whatever they need! I’m very careful to make sure they are always safe!

“Breanna was great! She kept me updated throughout the entire process with lots of messages. I would definitely book with her again”

“Peyton is great. I was very fortunate to come across him when I was visiting Charlotte for two weeks. He came to my hotel and walk my dog every day while I was at work. He was always on time and left me messages every day. I would definitely recommend him. He provided a perfect no stress service. Thank you, Peyton. Pluto will miss you.”

About: I have been taking care and looking after animals since I was 10. My family had several dogs, cats, and even reptiles at all points in additional to several friends here in Charlotte. 📸Instagram: buckrover I work in a remote setting for a tech company and make my own schedule. I’m very flexible in my hours and can also work from anywhere. I care with both ease and detail in how the said animal is to be taken care of according to their owners specifications and request.

About: I have been pet owners for years & there’s nothing I love more than spending time with animals. I love to take walks to the dog park & have a good game of fetch. I also take pictures of pets that I taken care of before so let me know if that’s something you would like. I currently work from home so I spend all day with my pets. My job lets me be able to still take my dog on multiple walks a day, have play time, go to the park & more. The play area is fenced in, I can easily crate your dog if needed. In my home I can provide everything your pet needs like if it was their own home and vice versa.

“Kaili was awesome! Clear communication and very reliable.”

“Stephen was so incredible good with my pups! I liked getting feedback after every walk on behavior and their eating. The pups look like they enjoyed themselves tremendously! Will book with Stephen again”

I get lots of steps in to break up my day at the desk so lots of opportunity to get outside. 2 story town home end unit with walkout back patio. No fence. No kids, no other pets, very clean, no clutter or risk of eating things 😂

“Amanda has been such an amazing friend to Cosmo. We moved to 4th ward last week and the change was stressful on the little guy. Amanda immediately established a rapport with him and they have great walks together. She is also very punctual and communicates well.”

“Very comfortable to work with. Melani is always punctual. She is very caring and easy to communicate. I strongly recommend her.”

About: First things first, nice to meet you! 🐾 I’ve been pet sitting for about five years, and my love for animals started long before that. I grew up surrounded by animals, and at one point, I had four dogs and two cats of my own! I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their individual personalities, routines, and needs. Whether we’re playing, going for a walk, visiting the park, or simply relaxing together, I make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and cared for just as they would with their own family. My goal is for your fur baby to have a fun, safe, and loving time while you’re away. I’d be happy to take them on walks around the neighborhood, to the park, or simply spend some quality time giving them all the attention they deserve. 🐶❤️ I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to make time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I’m able to work my schedule around your pet’s routine and make sure they get the care, attention, exercise, and love they need while you’re away. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, allowing pets to stay comfortable in their own familiar space. I follow their normal routines, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, and playtime. I’m respectful of your home and make sure your pets receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away.

“John has been on time, good with communication, and easy to work with!”
