Dog Walking Smallwood

“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.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up in a home full of pets, including dogs, cats, and even a bunny. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I love getting to know each pet’s individual personality. I currently work in the service industry at a resturuant in South End, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having someone to keep them company, i’m happy to provide attentive, reliable care while you’re away. I work in the service industry at a resturuant in South End, so my schedule is flexible and varies from week to week. This allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on the week. I will always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. i’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any other routines that help your pet feel comfortable. Every pet is unique, and i’ll provide patient, attentive care based on their individual needs. i’ll also treat your home with respect and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“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: 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 somewhat flexible schedule. I'm not too busy during the week, so my availability to provide care for pets have been pretty good. I'm very attentive when it comes to pets. You can rest assured that your furry friend will have a safe environment to running around and play in. Multiple pets that engage in playtime with each other will be supervised while under my care to mitigate any aggression that may come up during this activity.

About: What sets me apart is the level of patience, attention, and genuine love I bring to every dog I care for. I’ve spent years working with dogs of all ages — from energetic puppies who need structure and training, to gentle senior dogs who require extra time, comfort, and understanding. I’m calm, reliable, and very detail‑oriented, which helps me adapt to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’m also experienced with: • Puppy routines (crate training, potty breaks, basic commands) • Senior dog care (slow walks, medication reminders, mobility support) • High‑energy dogs who need exercise and mental stimulation • Shy or anxious pups who need a soft, reassuring presence Hello! I’m Cristina, and caring for animals has always been one of my greatest joys. I’m attentive, gentle, and very detail‑oriented — perfect for dogs who need a little extra patience, structure, or reassurance. I follow routines carefully, communicate clearly with owners, and make sure your dog feels comfortable and understood. My goal is simple: to give your pet the same love and care they get at home. When I’m caring for pets, my priority is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. If your pet stays with me, they’ll enjoy a calm, clean, and loving environment.

About: I've been around animals my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets. Growing up, I helped care for our family dogs, a Golden Retriever named Miley, followed by Henry and a beagle terrier mix Tippy. I did feeding, walks, playtime, and daily care. I also had two guinea pigs, which taught me the importance of consistency and attention to detail when caring for pets. Over the years, I've also helped friends and family with pet sitting, feeding, walking, and checking in on their pets while they were away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members as if they were their own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As a cat owner, I spend time each day feeding, playing with, and caring for my cat, as well as keeping her environment clean and comfortable. I also enjoy being active and getting outside, so dog walks fit easily into my schedule. I work remotely, which gives me flexibility and allows me to provide attentive care, check-ins, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner's instructions and routines. In a client's home, I make sure pets stay comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and lots of attention and affection. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter approach, I'm happy to adapt to their individual personality and needs.

“Communicative and timely! Thanks!”

About: Your dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! My name is Payton, I’ve had over 10 years of hands on experience caring for dogs, including raising my own and working in a kennel. (My wife and I's current dog is a cavopoo named Dude!) I’m comfortable with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and energy levels, and I know how to create a calm, structured, and safe experience for every dog. I offer walks, boarding, and drop in visits with a focus on keeping your dog’s routine consistent and stress free. Whether your pup is high energy, prefers a slower pace, or needs a little extra patience, I tailor care to what works best for them. During boarding, your dog will be treated like part of the home, not just a guest. When your dog is here, he will not be forgotten about. My wife and I both work from home and have the flexibility to spend quality time with your dog so they feel safe and loved. For walks and drop ins, I make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need, along with fresh water, feeding (if needed), and a quick check-in on their overall well-being. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know how your dog is doing. Let me know your dog’s routine, personality, and any special needs. I’m happy to accommodate. Look forward to meeting your Pup! My wife and I both currently work from home, so we will be around your dog 24/7. With that in mind, we can adapt and be flexible to your dog's needs. We currently live in a townhome in Southend. So we do not have a fenced-in backyard, but we do take our dog out on walks 4 times a day. With that in mind, we can be flexible to your dog's needs. The townhome is very spacious, offering three floors and 4 bedrooms for your dog to be able to get comfortable.

About: I had my baby for 10 and a half years and still miss him every day. I’m not ready to get another baby, but I’d love to provide trustworthy care for yours. I work from home, so I can do potty breaks and give medications as needed. Without any other pets or people in my home, I can provide all the needs of your dog(s). I work from home during the week, so I’ll be able to work around needed schedules. It is possible for me to be gone on certain days for 4-8 hours. I’ll do my best to take care of your baby / babies as you would. I had my 125 pound baby in an apartment, so I understand the need for multiple walks and finding places they can run. Pets are welcome on any furniture in my home.

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!

“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”

“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.”

“Always thankful for Clara being so flexible and helpful with Mango’s walks!!”

“Kelsey was wonderful with our dogs! I can’t wait to work with her again. Our dogs loved her. She was very communicative and responded quickly to messages. Great experience!”

“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 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.

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

About: Hi! I’m Ava & I’ve been caring for animals since I was very young. Over the years I’ve looked after cats, dogs, reptiles, rabbits, and fish for friends and family. While I do have experience with a variety of pets, cats are definitely my specialty! I absolutely adore them and I completely understand how important it is to respect their routines and boundaries! I’ve also cared for quite a few dogs, most frequently a Husky and a French Bulldog, but I’m comfortable with well-mannered dogs of all sizes. I’m not the best fit for dogs that tend to be more rowdy or have little training. I believe every pet deserves a sitter who is the right match for their needs, so if your dog tends to have those qualities, we may not be the best fit for each other. Although I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to pet care. My goal is to build experience here while providing dependable, attentive care that gives pet parents complete peace of mind. I genuinely treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m very detail-oriented and believe consistency is incredibly important for pets. When I hire a pet sitter for my own animals, I provide detailed care instructions and hope they’ll be followed exactly. I promise to do the same for you, no matter how complicated! Feeding schedules, medications, litter boxes, clean ups, walks, playtime, just say the word and I’ll follow your instructions without cutting corners! I’d love the opportunity to talk with you and meet your pets to provide the kind of care I’d want for my own animals! I want to make sure you can enjoy your time away and put your mind at ease that your babies are in safe hands. I work full time during the week, for now. My current availability is M-F after 4:45 PM & Sat-Sun with open availability. I am open to evening (after 5pm) drop-ins every day & morning drop-ins on Saturdays & Sundays only. I can provide house sitting overnight care every day, but I will need to be at my full time weekday job from 8-5pm M-F. On weekend days I can spend more time with your pets if needed. While your away, I care for your pets just as much as my own. Please leave me detailed and clear instructions and I will follow them exactly as you wish! I will always make sure your pets get plenty of love and pets when I come visit, unless they prefer to stay in their own bubble :)
