Dog Walking Starmount Forest

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!”

“Weiying was great - Finn had a blast and was worn out when he got home. She was very punctual, super kind, my dog immediately liked her. She also send many photos, which I appreciated. She is going to be my go-to in the future!”

“Savannah has been absolutely wonderful with Seal! From the very beginning, she went above and beyond by scheduling a meet-and-greet to make sure it was a great fit and to learn all about Seal’s needs and routine. It was clear right away how thoughtful and attentive she is. Seal looks forward to their walks every day, and it’s been such a relief knowing she’s in such caring hands. Savannah is consistently punctual, incredibly communicative, and her Rover report cards are always detailed and reassuring. She’s also been very flexible with scheduling, which has been a huge help while I’ve been adjusting to a new job and navigating a new routine. Most importantly, Savannah treats Seal with so much care, attention, and affection—it truly shows in how happy Seal is after every walk. I’m so grateful we found her and would wholeheartedly recommend Savannah to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate dog walker!”

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.

“Brea's professionalism and work ethic is 5-star! She was prompt and kind to our fur family. I will be more than happy if she will accept more work from me!”

About: As long as I have lived I have been surrounded by pets of all kinds. Namely cats and dogs, but also guinea pigs, ferrets, chinchillas, snakes, hamsters, fish, and others. Even since moving out I still regularly care for my friends and families pets. This has given me experience in taking care of pets in all stages of life, from newborns needing potty training to seniors needing medication. I work from home, and most of my work day is hands off letting some coding scripts run. So this gives me a lot of flexibility and time in my day that outside of some select meetings I can focus fully on your pet. If allowed to work in your space I can make any schedule of your pet's needs work. This allows me to always be available to your pet, and combined with my extensive experience in taking care of pets with specialty needs I feel confident in my ability to provide the best possible care.

“Skylar was a great dog walker for our senior pup. She was always on-time and took great care of Daisy throughout her walk. We'll be working with her again in the future!”

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.”

“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 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 is great and always on time!”

“Chloe is the best! She’s incredibly consistent, always communicative, and makes scheduling a breeze. I have peace of mind knowing my pup is in great hands. I can’t recommend her enough!”

About: Lifelong Cat and Dog owner, with a year of 1 on 1 dog daycare enrichment specialist experience, looking to make a professional difference in the lives of other pet owners! In between careers, so I have pretty open availability. Prefer during the day, but can be flexible depending where needed. Prefer to work in daytime. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Unfortunately do not have a dedicated space for boarding as of yet. Hopefully in future.

“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.

About: Dogs have been the center of my life for over 16 years. My journey started with my two little terriers. A Yorkie and a Silky Terrier who quickly turned my love for animals into a lifelong passion and purpose. Over the years I became the person friends, family, and neighbors call when they find an animal in need. Whether it's helping rescue a neglected dog, connecting someone with a shelter, or stepping in to care for a pet, I’ve always felt a deep responsibility to advocate for animals who can’t speak for themselves. In August 2023 I lost my soul dog, Lola, and the grief was overwhelming. In her honor, I began volunteering at the Charlotte Mecklenburg Animal Shelter in October 2023. Helping the dogs there reminded me how much love I still had to give. Since then I’ve fostered dogs for the shelter as well as local rescues like Peanut’s Place Small Dog Rescue and FurBabies Animal Rescue. Every foster that has passed through my home has received my full heart and dedication, and seeing them find loving homes has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. In 2024 I foster-failed with my sweet girl Lacey, who reminded me so much of Lola and became a permanent part of my family. Caring for rescue dogs has given me experience with dogs of many breeds, temperaments, and ages, from shy and scared pups to energetic personalities who just need guidance and love. Dogs aren’t just pets to me, they are family. I treat every dog in my care the same way I treat my own. I am currently working part-time, so I am home most of the day. My schedule is flexible and can make myself available for walks and feedings morning midday afternoons and evenings as needed. Providing a safe, loving, and calm environment is always my top priority. I live in a townhome with a small fenced backyard, and our neighborhood is extremely dog-friendly. Many of my neighbors have dogs, so I’m constantly out walking my dog and foster pups making sure they get exercise, enrichment, and fresh air. When caring for dogs in my home or yours, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as much as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also understand that every dog has a unique personality and comfort level, so I always take the time to learn their needs and boundaries. Safety and trust are incredibly important to me. I pay close attention to body language, keep a clean and calm environment, and ensure dogs always feel secure and comfortable. My experience volunteering, fostering, and walking dogs has helped me become very attentive to changes in behavior, energy, and stress levels. Whether your dog needs a relaxing walk, overnight care, or just someone to keep them company while you're away, you can trust that they will receive patience, love, and attentive care. As a bonus, I am fluent in both English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate with even more pet parents in our community.
