Dog Walkers in Startex, SC

About: We’ve had our pets since they were old enough to be adopted at 8 weeks. They are now 15 & 16 years old. I have some senior pet experience but none with medications that are not given orally. We have 2 kids who have already learned to be gentle and kind to animals. Your pet will feel like part of the family, as that is our goal for anyone who enters our home, be it person or animal. I am a very scheduled, focused and detail oriented individual and I have no problem multi-tasking. I will make sure your pet feels comfortable and happy. I am a stay at home mom so I’m pretty flexible with my time. My husband can also be available if need be for any drop by appointments. With two toddlers and my husband’s work travel schedule we are unavailable for night time drop-ins and walks (after 6pm). Our pets are a huge part of our family and they are integrated into our daily lives. I will stick to whatever your preferred schedule is for feeding, walking etc. If you need only drop by appointments I would make sure to communicate the timeline with you and treat your home and pets with respect. If your pets are staying with us they will be treated with kindness and as part of our family.

“I highly recommend Sabrina! She is punctual, gave my dog tons of attention, played with him, and took him on great walks. Communication was a breeze—she responded quickly to every message. My pup was happy and well-cared for every time!”

I’m happy to coordinate with you and adjust my schedule when possible to make sure your pet gets the care they need.

We offer safe, reliable, and affectionate care that’s tailored to your dog’s routine, because we know how important it is to find someone who treats your pets like family. We’re here to support you and your pet’s unique needs.

“Since we just relocated from Florida, we were a bit lost trying to find a pet sitter for our morkie. Since only friends and family watched him, we were a very nervous. Mikayla was wonderful and took great care of our little guy. We will continue to use Mikayla.”

About: Hello, I am Binta! I graduated from North Carolina A&T in Greensboro, where I studied Animal Science. I have 8 years of experience of raising pets, mainly dogs and cats. All throughout high school, I have volunteered after school taking care of rescue cats so that they can be comfortable while waiting for their forever home. I also used to work part-time in a local dog resort, looking after dogs of all kinds of breeds and temperaments. So, if your furry family member needs a walk or a friend to play with, you can count on me to keep him or her company while you are away for the day! I have a job with an irregular schedule, so I am free in the afternoons and evenings for the time being. Weekends, nights and holidays included. If it’s a drop-in request, I would like the owner to leave a list or on the pet’s Rover card on how much and what times they are fed. If it’s a walk request, I will have water and poop bags when your pet needs breaks during walks.

“Did as she was to do. Drop in on my dog just fine. I left cash sitting on table for her for holiday but she never took it. I guess you have to tell her it is tip money or else she wont not take it.”

Zara Alessia G.

“She does great with our fur baby!”

About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life including bringing new puppies into this world and caring for them until they go home with their forever family. I’m a full time mom with the ability to have an adaptive schedule. Available most weekdays and evenings during the week. Willing to adapt to you and your pets needs. When I come to your home I will care for your pets as I do my own. My only focus is making sure the pets in my care are loved and taken care of properly. I’m a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty flexible! I have more time available during the week than the weekend but am available on most weekends. When in a clients home I make sure to only utilize or touch whatever is necessary to my duties. I clean up after myself if any messes are made.

About: Hi! Im Danielle, being a pet parent myself I know trusting someone with your fur baby is a big deal — especially when that person is new so that’s why I treat every dog like my own. I grew up around a variety of animals- horses, bunnies, parrots dogs and cats! My dream is to open up a rescue/shelter because no animal deserves to go without a loving home. My boyfriend and I have 3 boy cats which we rescued who are our heart and soul and they truly saved us. I have had multiple dogs as well which were my pride and joy. We both grew up on/around a farm and the love we have for all walks of life is what drives me to give your pets the best care possible ! What sets me apart is No task is too big or small and No dog is too much because all pups deserve love! Dogs aren’t just friends, they are family and that’s why I take pride in helping owners like myself find someone who they trust to help them one belly rub at a time I am available 5/6 days a week! I left my full time job and I am now pursuing the chance to provide owners with comfort and stress free care because your fur babies mean just as much to me as they do to you! When caring for your pets in your home, I treat your space how I would expect mine to be treated and that’s with respect. By ensuring that I keep same routine that your fur baby is used to will make sure that they feel comfortable because meeting someone new can be nerve wracking. I make sure pets get plenty of love, attention, and are loved as if they were my own — and I keep you updated with messages and plenty of photos so you know your pet is happy and safe. I stick to your pet’s usual schedule for walks, feedings, playtime, and potty breaks to keep things familiar and stress-free. I follow all instructions provided and always double-check things like food portions, medication (if needed), and security (locked doors, gates, etc. Clean-up and tidiness are a priority too; I leave your space just as I found it, or better.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. My family and friends had pets but it wasn’t enough! I convinced my parents really young to get a dog and since then, I’ve taken care of and trained 3 dogs of my own. Friends and family that get pets often ask me for advice. I have a very nurturing personality and it translates well with animals, so I absolutely love them! I have experience training and basic grooming/bathing! I work remotely so I am home and available to take care of your furry friend :) I will ensure that I know your animal’s temperament/likes/dislikes in order to make both of us comfortable! I’m very attentive and know how to distract/entertain needy animals (from experience haha). I do not have a fenced yard but I do have a spike that goes into the ground that is secure and has a long leash. Other than that, I have a dog friendly neighborhood that we can take walks around!

About: If you need a break, send your pets to me! I am an animal lover and used to work in animal rescue. I am experienced with working with all types of dogs (and cats!) and medical conditions. There isn't much I haven't seen. I can give oral medications, shots, and know basic first aid. I love to be interactive with my dogs. We go on trips to Petsmart and Starbucks often, and I would treat your fur baby like one of my own during their time with me! I am openly available for bookings- daytime, evenings, and overnights. Check my schedule for availability! Looking forward to connecting and meeting you and your fur babies! I currently do not offer in-home boarding at my home but I do offer overnight sitting in the safe space your pet is used to. I am comfortable taking the time needed to earn your dog's trust. I will follow whatever routine and guidelines you give me to make your fur baby's time as comfortable as possible.

About: I have had pets my entire life! They have always been a huge part of who I am. Not only have I owned many animals, but I have taken care of friends and family's pets as well. I also have experience with pregnancies and newborn puppies. I have provided a few professional services in the past but most of my experience is on a personal level. I am excited to meet your pet/s and to provide my services to make your life easier and keep them happy while you are away! I look forward to becoming one of your fur baby's favorite people!! I am a stay-at-home Mommy with a 3 year old and I have a 9 year old in school, so my schedule is typically pretty open. I will work with you to accommodate your needs/schedule the best I can. I am available all week and will work with you on times for drop-ins and dog walking. All rules/directions given by you will be followed to a tee. Besides keeping your pet happy and healthy, their safety is also my top priority!

About: I’ve grown up around pets my whole life, and I love running around with them during the day. I also love snuggling up with them at night to watch a movie. I am currently attending cosmetology school at AHT, Tuesday- Friday from 9am-5pm. I’m available to be with your furry friends all day monday and after school during the week. I am working in the salon on Saturday, but am free in the evenings. Sundays tend to be pretty open for me since I normally only go to church in the mornings. I have a fenced in yard with tons of space! I also have two very friendly dogs to keep you animals company. I have plenty of space for a cage if you prefer that. If I am watching in your home I will make sure to keep everything the same so you animals feel as comfortable as possible, as it can be hard when someone new comes into their space.

“Tiffany was great! The feedback and pictures made me feel good, and assured me my dogs were ok. She seems like a true petlover and is dependable. :-) I never worried about them while I was gone.”

About: I’ve always had dogs and a few cats on and off most of my life. I am a medical assistant of 20 years looking for a change. I was giving insulin to a friends dog daily while she was at work. I would love to help you with your fur baby !!! Recently moved to South Carolina and not working right now so I do have the time to care for your dog or cat. I’m pretty flexible !! I currently do not have a dog. I can walk or jog with your dog or just sit and keep your dog happy with those behind the ear scratches !! I can give medicine and injections if necessary.

“Sara was available on such short notice and really saved the day! I was delayed getting home after a flat and knew my pooch might not make it until then. Easy to communicate with and got the job done!”

About: I worked in the veterinary hospital setting as a tech for nearly 15 years. I now own a small business and miss having my hand in the game so pet sitting and rescues are my hobby. I work as a locksmith so I’m on call all the time but only leave the house a few times in short bursts. A lot of my work is at a desk and I’m often interrupted for play time anyways by my own dog, the more the merrier. Walks, playtime, food, water, and scritches. There is a dog park across the street and a walking trail a stones throw away from my home, Buddy (my dog) gets walks at least four times a day (the route is 0.5 miles per my smart watch) depending on how demanding he is, and the dog park is a must every morning rain or shine.

About: Hey! I have a deep love for animals and a knack for keeping them happy and healthy. Growing up in a family full of pets, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals. I have also cared for senior dogs, dogs with disabilities/medication, and kittens. My attention to detail, reliability, and nurturing personality make me the ideal pet sitter. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or snuggles, I’m committed to providing the same care and affection I’d give my own furry friends. Let me help ensure your pets feel loved and secure while you’re away! I’m currently very flexible with my schedule and available to care for your pets anytime, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Whether you need daily check-ins, overnight care, or just someone to take your furry friend on a walk, I’m here to help! I have a fenced yard and a designated room in the house just for your pet for when they need their space a privacy. My cat was raised with cats and dogs, so she is very comfortable and safe with other animals.
