Dog Walkers in Startex, SC

“Sabrina did two drop in visits/ walks for us while we were at work. She seemed like she bonded with Belle very well and Belle loved her. She got to give our pup the hour of a potty break and attention she needed when we couldn’t be there and we greatly appreciated that. We look forward to working with Sabrina again.”

“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.”

“I wanted to reach out and thank Abby for being so diligent about keeping us updated whenever her schedule changes. We truly appreciate her communication and the care she provides. We are entrusting both of our dogs to Abby's care. One of them is particularly sensitive due to his age and general nature. I have been genuinely worried about his well-being. We would not trust just anyone with our pets. We have a great deal of confidence in Abby and feel very comfortable having them in her care.”

Nothing will be hidden from you and you won’t come home to any unexpected surprises or situations. At my last visit of longer duration care I will give a status update and pictures.

I will be there for the time you are investing in with hands on attention. They will never be yelled at, yanked, or treated cruelly. I am responsive, gentle, and patient. Your home is your sanctuary and I will treat it with respect according to your wishes. Please clearly define which areas are open to be in and any you want to remain closed or private. Your personal property will only be handled/used as appropriate to the job. If I can’t find something, I will ask you.

I am very active and I have an open availibility as I work from home so I can work around any schedule you need. I’ve lived in Spartanburg all my life so i know MANY hiking trails, dog parks, etc in the area that your little pup or dog would enjoy! It is not always a necessity, but I do offer home visits before bookings so we (and your pets) can meet and you can know everything is in good hands!

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: Over the years, I've had the joy of caring for many pets, including my two dogs, Valentina and Camila. My two adorable cats, Felix and Francisco. I've also looked after my aunt's two bunnies and my neighbor's dog, Roger. I will be available to walk and visit your amazing pets, from Monday to Saturday, 7:00 am - 3:30 pm. I would love the opportunity to take care of your adorable pets. I ensure pets have a safe, clean environment where they can feel comfortable. I spend quality time with them and maintain a set schedule for their feeding, walking, and playtime. I respect your living space, communicate with you through photos and updates of your fur babies, and make sure I am always prepared for any emergencies.

“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’ve spent years caring for pets for friends and family, including walking, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and energy levels, from playful puppies to relaxed seniors. I currently live with and help care for three dogs (ages 1, 3, and 12), so I’m very familiar with managing different needs! I work part-time hours, so my time is pretty open overall. My schedule is set for each week, so my availability will be posted well in advance. I make sure to keep a consistent eye on animals even if they seem to be low maintenance. That includes indoor/outdoor time and during walks. If you have any safety concerns regarding your pet, just reach out.

About: I love animals and believe taking care of them is meant for me. I will provide the best care for your pets along with the best prices for you. I make time into my schedule to care for pets. I have more than a few days a week available and id love nothing more than to spend those days with animals. I care for pets with great detail such as doing any enrichment they require, feeding them the proper amounts as well as making the pet feel loved.

“Rachel and Triston were great! They were able to walk Storm last minute and even cleaned up a pee accident, which I appreciated. Thank you!”

About: Hi! Thank you for visiting my profile. About me: I’m currently a stay-at-home mom who chose not to go back to a full time position, as I need a break from nearly 20 years in Corporate Marketing. My love for animals and staying active throughout the day has led me to Rover. I’ve raised dogs and cats all of my adult life. From kittens, puppies, Pekingese, Pugs, to 95 pound Boxers, you name it, and I’ve probably raised it! I’m an active individual, so I love to be “out and about” and enjoy walks - I can do it all while you are away. If you need help with puppy training, or a kitten house check while you’re at work, I will make sure their needs are met and provide companionship. Aside from animals, I love gardening and decorating my home, so I have many projects on my hands to keep me busy through the day. I have a wonderful husband and a 7-year-old who fills my weekends with joy! If you need housesitting, (watering plants, etc.), while you’re away, I will help and will not charge any fees. You can consider me your “house sitter” the next time you go away! As a stay-at-home mom, my son is in 1st grade the majority of the day. I am available pretty much all day and into the evening hours. My days are routine and structured, so I would take the same approach with your pets. Unfortunately, I cannot sit overnight. Making sure your pets have their needs met is my first priority. This includes feeding, walking, and companionship to keep them happy when you’re not around.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was about eleven years old. Growing up, I always dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, and my love for animals led me to start volunteering at a local shelter when I was young. What began as a childhood dream quickly turned into a lifelong passion. Through years of volunteering and hands-on experience, I’ve had the opportunity to care for animals with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. Spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved is something that truly brings me joy. My passion for animal care has only grown stronger over the years, and I would love the opportunity to share that dedication with you by helping care for your pets and making sure they’re happy while you’re away ☺️🐾 I’m currently in nursing school and pet sitting through Rover full-time. Since most of my studying is done from home, I’m able to spend lots of time with the pets in my care, giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. It’s the perfect balance for me—I get to focus on my studies while also caring for and snuggling with the amazing pets I’m trusted to watch. My goal is always to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away!! 🥰 I have several years of experience dog sitting, cat sitting, dog walking, and volunteering at animal shelters, along with caring for pets of my own. These experiences have taught me how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I always strive to give every pet the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I maintain a consistent routine and stay attentive to each pet’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box care, potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of affection. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and loving environment so that your pets feel happy, secure, and well cared for at all times!! 🐾💕
