Dog Walking Southport

About: I am a life long pet owner and professional equestrian. I am slowing down the equine part and ramping up the pet part. I own 4 Aussies currently and understand the need for daily exercise , enrichment and love. I would be honored to spend time with your pet when you are not available. I am experienced in walking from 1-4 dogs at a time. Outings include side walk and on trail walks. Typically a walk is 20 minutes and can be adjusted to need. I enjoy cuddling and grooming dogs. Enrichment time includes tossing toys and puzzles if allowed. I am happy to accommodate directives when possible, tailored to every dog or cat per owner wishes . My experience includes animal husbandry for up to 60 horses and a dozen dogs and cats at one time. I taught college equine sciences classes for 9 years and oversaw the care management at Stephens College in Columbia, Mo. Please let me know how I can serve you and your animal children. I am a semi retired professional equestrian who is wanting more time out of the barn with animals of all kinds. I own 4 Australian Shepherds and have had 14 since 1985. As an animal professional, I understand the value of consistency in training and care. Cats have been a part of my life both as house and barn cats.Each type has value and distinct personality. A clean litter box and correct enrichment programs are a must. Feeding both species correctly is a must. I am open to multiple visits a day and am used to working every day when the animal care dictates. I am not currently set up to care for pets in my home. Perhaps in the future I would consider this. If I do, I am well trained in animal care.

About: I may not have years of professional pet sitting/dog walking experience, but I do know what it means to love and care for a dog every single day. I have my own two pups who I walk and play with several times a week, and I know how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and happy. I bring patience, responsibility, and genuine care to every animal I meet. I’m a homeschooled student, about to graduate, so I have a very flexible schedule and can be available most days from 7 AM to 7 PM. This allows me plenty of time to give your pets the attention, walks, and love they need throughout the day. When I visit your pet for walks or potty breaks, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, dependable, and always pay attention to their needs, whether that’s extra playtime, fresh water, or just a little love and company. You can trust me to treat your pup like my own.

About: I have cared for pets my whole life. Starting at a very young age with neighbors and family pets. My love for pets grow every day. I help humane society and other animal charities as much as possible, as it pains me to see ANY animal go unloved or cared for. I am reliable and loyal to all of my fur baby friends!🤗 I currently work for myself as a cosmetologist/hairdresser/makeup artist. So my schedule is very flexible. I have a lot of time to fill in between clients and days off and I look forward to you committing myself to your pet needs! I currently do not have a place to provide pet care at home but will be happy to meet your pet needs at your home or in your neighborhood for walking! I do drive so I can drive to dog parks as well!

I am great with animals and children, and provide calm and reliable services. I will come to your location to check in on your pets for play, feeding, walks, and bathroom breaks. No overnight care.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and even a pet lizard. Being around animals has always brought me joy, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality.

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for animals. My career consisting of years in corporate boarding management, and working in small animal clinics as a vet tech. I am currently American Red Cross Pet First Aid & CPR Certified. Furry friends large and small are my passion. I am also able to provide medication administration for an additional fee we. House sitting can consist of bringing in mail, watering plants, long walks and lots of live and kisses. However I will not be spending the night in your home, as I have a family of own. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and your fur babies Working remotely allows me the opportunity and freedom to meet the schedule and needs of my clients and their furry family. Please do not hesitate to ask questions Preparation and education is key. Anything that you can think of that I might need to know we can go over in our meet and greet.

About: Over the years I've had experience with all stages and ages of pets, especially dogs, but also including horses, chickens, fish, guinea pigs, bunnies, cats etc. I've raised and cared for my own pets from puppies to elder dogs, special needs to the most energetic (or anxious). I've taken in some willful and anxious fur babies that have thrived and became amazing loyal, obedient and loving companions. I have also been blessed with 4 amazing grown kiddos that have pets of their own and I get to care for them often and its the best!! Most of my/my families pets have been rescues but we've also had/have several pure bred Animals (Long-haired German Shepherd, Newfoundland, Maltese, Blue Pittie). I like to make sure the fur babies get lots of love and exercise, but its also okay if your pet is a bit more stand-offish. I truly appreciate when pet parents leave information about routine, pets personality and preferences and will follow instructions meticulously. Special needs, medications, puppy care, etc are also welcome (of course!!). Feel free to ask any questions...look forward to chatting and meeting you/your fur babies. I am an empty-nested Mom and Mimi with my kids' families being spread around CO, NC, TN, GA, STX so I travel to see kids/grandkids/family...a lot...and I love it. This gives me the flexibility to do house sitting/pet care around those visits (in some cases, I've done sits near my kids as well and check both boxes, pet care and visits with the fam). I'm looking to pet/house sit almost full-time around family visits. I'm also VERY open to traveling to pet sits outside my home base area, overseas as well. I lost my little Maltese "Smiles" a few years ago and have poured my snuggles into my kid's 6 dogs. With my travel schedule its hasn't felt like the right time to add a new pet to my personal life so getting to love on my families' pets and those that I sit for really helps fill that void. I only care for pets in your/their home. I am primarily looking for overnight sits, but will also be available for walks and drop-in care.

About: I’ve had dogs as long as I can remember. I love playing with dogs and walking them. I can handle any size dog as well as administering meds etc. I’m recently retired so my schedule is normally very flexible. I can usually be available at a short notice if needed to be a help for your pet. I do not board pets at my home as we already have 3 of our own to love and care for on a daily basis

About: I have over 16+ years of pet sitting experience. Ever since I was in middle school, I have been providing pet care services to neighbors, coworkers, etc. In fact, I was the designated pet sitter of my current work place where I would stay over at their homes while they were out of town. In addition, I have grown up with rescue dogs, and those who have behavioral issues. I am skilled with providing medicine to dogs as well. I do not have experience training puppies. I work from home fully with very little travel which would be set ahead of time not to disrupt the care of the dog, and can be flexible in terms of timings. Usually, I meet with the owner and dog beforehand. This ensures trust as I can get a way of the home, the dog can meet me, and show first hand any specific instructions.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I currently am a part time student, I got out the navy a year ago. So I am taking time to myself after all those years in the service and so I have a very flexible schedule. I will follow all rules or accommodations for the pets especially in there home. I will always provide a safe experience and keep the dogs a number one priority

About: I have four cats and a german shepherd. I grew up having dogs and cats my whole life. I have raised kittens and bottle fed them and have experience with small dogs and very large dogs.

I can easily travel to care for your pets and do whatever is necessary to provide proper care! I cannot bring your pets to my home however I can transport them!
