Dog Walkers in South Congaree, SC

“Nicole was so communicative and attentive to my dog. She put her little booties on for walking on the hot pavement and wrote a very thorough narrative of her session”

About: Am i a crazy cat lady? Maybe. Do I want to pet all the puppers? Possibly. I have had cats and dogs my entire life, many adopted strays, ferals, and fosters (cats and dogs). My current clowder consists of four cats. I am pretty flexible and typically available to care for your pets while you are at the office, out for the evening, or enjoying a weekend getaway. Having recently moved to South Carolina my four cats are in my home out of state with family until I buy a house here. I miss my furry companions and look forward to befriending yours. A little about some of recent challenges I've worked through with my pets: While I only have my four cats currently, I recently had a fifth cat and beagle cross the rainbow bridge. Both were adoptions who came to me with health issues. I got Maggie, my beagle, when she was eight. She had a tumor which caused seizures but lived another 7 happy years with me. Garfield, my cat, was five and came to me with an inoperable hernia, blood disorder, and weighing 25lbs! He was a big boy, but I worked to get him down to a healthy weight of 18 pounds and lived to be 11. Of the four cats I have currently, two were ferals and two were strays. It has taken a lot of work and patience, but all four are docile and fairly trusting of humans.

About: Have been around pets all my life. Volunteered as a foster mom for the humane society and took home pets that needed medication given to them. Been around to active dogs like dalmatians and Australian shepherds, and docile, older dogs. Did puppy training classes when I raised my Australian shepherd. Really interested in being a dog walker for all the pups but willing to adjust my schedule for whatever sitter/drop in needs you may need if given enough notice. I can crate your pets when needed, take them on walks, can administer medications if needed. I work well with lists or rules set out to follow for your pets best care in your home.

About: I will love your pet like I love my own. Growing up there has always been a pet in my home, including dogs, a cat, and even a bird, so naturally, I love animals. I enjoy all sizes of pets, dog or cat. I will make sure that your pet is taken care of and played with. I love to walk dogs because it gets both, the dog and I, up and moving and it is always a good time with a dog. I also love to give dogs baths and brush them because they always seem to love it too. I hope your dog will love me just as much as I love them. My number one priority is to make sure your pet is happy, safe, and taken care of. Right now, I work a weird schedule with my job so day time availability changes but I’m always available before and after work on the weekdays. Weekends differ just depending on my plans. :) I have been a dog and cat sitter multiple times in others homes. I make sure all of the pets needs are taken care of including feeding, watering, letting out, crating, etc. I am also careful to not mess anything up inside or outside the home

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up in a family full of pets, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I have experience pet sitting for family and friends, and I’ve also taken three veterinary courses in high school, which helped me learn more about animal health and behavior. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits for small to medium-sized dogs, and I always make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to make your pup feel just as loved as one of my 3 babies! I’m currently a full-time online student, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. While I do set aside a few hours for schoolwork and caring for my own pets, I have plenty of availability for drop-in visits and dog walks. This flexibility allows me to be reliable and consistent when it comes to caring for your pets and making sure they get the attention they deserve! When caring for your pets, their comfort and safety always come first. During drop-in visits, I like to start by giving them time to get familiar with me at their own pace, allowing them to approach and feel comfortable before interacting. Once they’re relaxed, I’ll give them plenty of love and attention, check that they have fresh food and water, and clean up any accidents if needed. I’m happy to play with them if they’re interested and will always make sure dogs are let out for a potty break before I leave. For walks, I bring water to keep pups hydrated, clean up after them, and can provide treats with your approval. I always use positive reinforcement and make sure your pet returns home safe, happy, and well cared for before I head out.

About: I have worked with all sorts of breeds as well as fostered and rehabilitated many dogs as well. I am a very loving and caring dog owner and will always do my best to care for any dog I come across. Just please let me know if your dog is dog friendly! This is not a must, just a courtesy. Hope to play with your pup soon. Fetch, swimming, kayaking, amongst many other things are activities I’d be more than happy to do with your pup. You just say what they love and off we go! Raw diet? No problem! I have dealt with this in the past and I am no stranger to preparing a meal your pup will be sure to really enjoy!

“Took the time to meet my pet before walk. Very friendly and nice. Thank you so much”

About: I love all animals! I am a graduate student and have lots of experience taking care of dogs of all breeds and sizes, as well as cats. I believe it is important for a caregiver to not only have the love for pets, but to have the ability to love each pet as their own. It is my priority to go above and beyond to ensure that they remain happy and healthy. I am mainly looking to spend time throughout the day walking dogs, taking them to the park, and/or feeding and taking care of them as needed. Some days are busier than others and it feels as if there aren't enough hours in a day to give your pets the love they need. I am more than happy to help with whatever you need when it comes to your furry friends! I just moved to this area and have some free time until my new job starts. I am very communicative when it comes to scheduling and flexibility! I have a fenced in yard and 3 very friendly dogs that I have had experience with for over 10 years. I enjoy walks, car rides, and ice cream dates depending on your preference for your pet

About: I am a pet lover and very active person. I would love to provide services to you and your family, while also allowing myself time to stay fit and active. I have a Siberian Husky of my own that I take for 2 mile runs daily. I have also worked in social services for several years. I am easy to reach by telephone and can assist you in whatever way possible. Each service listed here is quite descriptive but I can also discuss them with you if you have any questions. You will not be disappointed once you book me. My pet car experience and special skills set me apart from other sitters and walkers. Your pet will show the difference once they board or walk with me!

“Heidi accepted a last minute booking for my two pups. She was kind, punctual, and did a great job with them. She responded to my questions in a timely manner. I appreciate her helping with my fur babies.”

About: About Me: I grew up in a animal-loving home. My mom worked at a vet and I spent my days with her. I’ve always been around animals. When I turned 16, I started working at the same vet my mom worked at as a veterinarian assistant. I took care of the animals in the kennel and assisted the veterinarians. My family moved to the Columbia area and I’m looking to continue my work with animals. My experience allows me to give your pets the best experience while your away. I know how to give medication properly even with pets who struggle with it (including insulin shots). I am not afraid of messy situations; trust me have cleaned up worst. I love all pets including seniors or pets with disabilities and strive to give every pet the best care possible. Services: I’m not available Monday-Friday 4 pm to 11 pm due to my other job, however I’m able to care of your fur babies within the hours I’m free. I do ask that you schedule me at least 1 day in advance in order to prepare for services. Please let me know 3 days before if you need to cancel. Of course, I do know emergencies come up so I’m willing to work with you. I will love to meet you and your fur babies in a pre-visit before any services so we can make sure we are a good fit for each other and learn everything I need in order to give you to pet the best care (ex: daily routines, likes and dislikes, etc).

I have pet sat for friends and family growing up plenty of times and I’m happy to be able to take care of your pets too! I’m typically off work Saturday and Sunday as well as Tuesdays, if I do work a Saturday I’m off by 3pm. I’m also available any day during the week after 6.

About: I’ve been passionate about caring for dogs and cats since I was a teenager. Growing up, I frequently pet sat for family members and close family friends, building a strong foundation in understanding pets’ individual needs and personalities. Over the years, I’ve gained professional experience working at several doggy daycares, where I managed groups of dogs, ensured their safety and comfort, and helped them enjoy playtime and socialization. I’ve also provided in-home pet sitting for multiple clients over the past few years, handling everything from daily feedings, walks, and medication administration to play, cuddles, and lots of love. I truly enjoy forming bonds with each pet and giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. Pet sitting is my full-time profession, which means I offer flexible and open availability to accommodate your schedule and your pet’s needs. Whether you require drop-in visits or daily walks I’m here to provide reliable support—often with little notice. Your peace of mind and your pet’s happiness are my top priorities! When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while maintaining your home exactly as you left it. Upon arrival, I follow your detailed instructions to the letter—feeding schedules, medication administration, walking routes, play preferences, and any special routines. I provide plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection tailored to your pet’s personality and energy level, whether that’s energetic fetch sessions, gentle cuddles, or quiet companionship. I send regular updates with photos and/or videos so you can see your pet is happy and relaxed. I also keep an eye on your pet’s health and behavior, and I’m prepared to contact you or an emergency vet if anything seems off. For your home, I’m respectful and tidy: I secure doors and windows, bring in mail/packages if requested, water plants, take out trash, and leave everything clean and organized. My goal is for you to return to a happy pet and a home that feels untouched—giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for multiple families over the past 8 years, providing reliable care through drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays. I grew up with dogs of my own, gaining hands-on experience in everything from potty training puppies to caring for senior dogs. I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs and always strive to make pets feel safe, loved, and at home while their owners are away. I’m currently finishing up grad school and have full availability for bookings throughout April. Starting in May, I’ll be available Friday evenings and weekends outside of my clinical hours. I honor each pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. In your home, I stick closely to their usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection so they feel safe and cared for while you’re away.

“Pam is awesome—so communicative, responds quickly, and really watches after Renzo like he were her own pup! She is always timely and let’s me know well ahead of time if we need to make any changes to the schedule. Even though Pam has to take Renzo out in the heat of the day, she always finds something for him safe to do. Pam is Renzo’s regular walker and I wouldn’t have it any other way!”
