Dog Walking Starmount

About: If your pet loves treats, belly rubs, walks, playtime, or simply having a friend around, we’ll get along great! I’m passionate about animals and enjoy building trust with every pet I care for. My goal is to keep your pets happy, safe, and stress free while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I lost my best friend a little over a year ago, and while I’m not quite ready to welcome another into my home, caring for animals brings me so much joy. Spending time with your furry family members allows me to share the love I have for pets while providing them with the attention, care, and companionship they deserve while you are away. I am available from 5am- 9pm Monday - Friday. Saturdays and Sundays 7am-7pm. If other options are needed I am more than happy to discuss! Caring for your pet in your home consists of doing anything that your pets will need. I will treat your pet like it is my own.

“Linda took great care of my pup! She took her out for a potty break and was very understanding of my dogs fear of the rain. Linda went above and beyond to ensure that my dog still went potty despite my dog’s unwillingness to cooperate in the rain. We will be using Linda again!”

About: I have always had a dog growing up but rescued my own dog, almost 7 years ago and trained him from 1 month old. The experience intensified my love for dogs and training them! I am used to going on walks, potty training, and feeding schedules as well as accommodating quirks (my guy can be weird so I get it lol). I work full time from home so as long as I have notice of when I am needed it should work seamlessly in my life. If pet sitting at your home I want to keep your dog as comfortable and on routine as possible. I am well versed in all sorts of quirks so just let me know and I can adapt to whatever your pet needs. I will be diligent about following instructions and will give lots of attention and affection while you are away.

About: I've been around animals my whole life and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience caring for senior dogs, understand the extra patience and attention they need, and worked in a veterinary clinic during high school, where I learned about animal health, handling, and compassionate care. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone you can trust. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply lots of cuddles, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I care for my own senior cat daily, making sure she has plenty of love, attention, and a consistent routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide regular walks, feedings, playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and lots of affection. I enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets fits seamlessly into my day and is something I genuinely look forward to. I always strive to keep pets as comfortable as possible by following their normal routine. In my client's home, I'll stick to their feeding schedule, provide fresh water, walks or litter box cleaning, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I also make sure your home stays clean and secure while you're away. If caring for pets in my home, they'll have a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with constant supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, and lots of affection. I know every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to learn their preferences and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Sarah and Dru were the best rovers I have ever seen. Super friendly, easy to communicate with, and EXTREMELY loving with my fur baby. Your dog is lucky if they get to have these folks take care of them.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid — it’s honestly hard to remember a time when a dog wasn’t part of my life. Right now I’m actually without one for the first time ever, which just means I have extra time, energy, and love to put toward someone else’s pup. I have a soft spot for small dogs in particular — I love their big personalities packed into a little frame, and I’m especially comfortable and confident handling pets on the smaller side. If you’ve got a small or medium-sized dog who needs a walker, sitter, or someone to just hang out with them, I’d love to be that person. I am flexible and open most days and evenings (including weekends) — no advance notice is needed. I am happy to work around your schedule. I live in an apartment with my own cat, Ivy, who has a relaxed, easygoing temperament. She’s lived with other cats before and isn’t hostile or territorial, so she adjusts well to having other animals around. That said, I’ll always ask about your pet’s comfort with cats beforehand so I can make sure it’s the right fit for everyone. I’m also happy to come to you — whether that’s drop-in visits, walks, or staying at your place instead, I’m flexible about where the care happens, based on what works best for you and your pet.

“Valentina was reliable and professional. She communicated clearly when my dog was too shy to go for a walk. I would definitely ask her to stop in and check on Finn again.”

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life, and for the past 7 years I’ve cared for dogs hands-on (daily walks, sitting, feeding, and training, including obedience and teaching them fun tricks). I have so much patience and love to give, and I truly cherish every moment with them, whether it’s an active walk or just sitting with them when they’re sick. I adore puppies and love potty training them, but senior dogs have such a special place in my heart too. Caring for dogs has been part of my whole life, and honestly, this doesn’t feel like a job to me, it feels like getting to spend my day surrounded by furry friends while their pet parents are away. I have open availability for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and day care. I’m usually home all the time so I can easily work around your pet’s routine and can typically accommodate both weekday and weekend requests. I live in an apartment next to a park where I take dogs for a walk and some play and outdoor time. Inside my home they have a comfortable space to relax and settle in with toys, water stations and lots of sunlight and fans if needed. For drop-ins and house-sitting at your home, I closely follow your instructions and your pet’s usual routine to keep things consistent, and I send photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Samantha was able to walk Gemma last minute at lunch for a few days this past week. She was patient and kind with Gemma when she was very nervous at first. She kept me updated and sent photos. Would absolutely hire again. Great dog walker! Thank you !”

About: I’ve been a dog walker and pet sitter since March 2024. I have experience walking all sizes of dogs from Bernese Mountain dogs to an 8 week old pug. I’ve worked with deaf dogs, a dog that was post-op for an ACL tear, and administered medicine if the pet required it. If you have a reactive dog, I may not be the best fit for you, and that’s okay! I have experience with dogs that are reactive to cars, but I prefer not to work with dogs who are reactive to other animals. I started doing this for a little extra cash & exercise when I’m not touring as a full-time stand up comedian. (It’s a real thing. I promise you never have to hear my jokes, but your dogs probably will at some point during our walks.) If you need a weekday dog walker, I’m your gal! You will also have ample notice for any time that I am traveling out of town for shows as my tours are booked the year prior. I had about 10 consistent weekly clients in Pittsburgh working with a business called Happy Tails, but I just moved to Charlotte so I’m looking for new clients! I’m available most weekdays. Weekends are tougher and will depend on my schedule from my full-time job, but I am open to weekends as long as I am in Charlotte. I am very serious about the comfort and safety of your pet. That means I will take the safest route possible (paved sidewalks with low traffic if possible), provide water, and clean up after them when they potty to keep your neighbors happy. I am happy to follow any guidelines you have for caring for your animal. I am also open to doing a trial period with your pet to make sure that we are a good fit for each other.

“Samantha is great and always on time!”

“I can tell Katie truly cares for my pup. She is on time, very responsive, and I look forward to the pictures and all that she writes in the report card. Thank you, you’re a blessing!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I bring to every pet. I take time to really understand their routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for—not just watched. I have experience with puppies and can help reinforce basics like potty training, leash walking, and positive behavior in a patient, encouraging way. I’m also great with senior pets, making sure they’re comfortable, sticking to routines or medications, and adjusting care to match their pace. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and I keep you in the loop with regular updates and photos so you always have peace of mind. At the end of the day, I treat every pet like they’re my own—making sure they’re happy, healthy, and well cared for. 🐾 As a disabled veteran, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available 24/7 and have the flexibility to give pets consistent, reliable care throughout the day and night. In my apartment: I create a calm, pet-friendly space where they can relax and feel at ease. I stick closely to their usual feeding schedule, walks, and sleep routine so nothing feels out of place. There’s plenty of supervised playtime, attention, and a safe area for rest. I keep things clean, structured, and low-stress so it really feels like a home away from home.

“Noah was great with Spyder! He managed getting everything right for my dog while allowing for things to be coordinated virtually at the last minute. He’s communicative, responsive, and organized. Highly recommend his services.”

“Kirby always goes above and beyond for my little pupper 🥲 she’s so sweet and I know Kody loves her as much as she loves him. My favorite and only dog walker I book repeatedly!!”
