Dog Walking in Sumter

“Bless her heart, she took my big old treeing walker coon hound for a walk and he didn't want to come home after 30 mins so she walked him for another 50 minutes! He was too big for her to force home, but he eventually got tired and came home without fuss. I'm so grateful to her for being so flexible and patient with him!”

“Hi all, I am new to this service but Robert made it very easy to leave our sweet babies. He took very good care of our animals which are chickens, goats and our golden retriever. Our golden retriever needed special care with different medications. Robert made it his top priority to make sure he had medicine on time and also with love since our dog doesn't like taking medicine. Haha...who does right? If you want a person to look after your babies use Robert M. He is amazing and dependable! Highly recommended!”

“Bradley has been amazing walking our dog Duke. He is professional and efficient and our Duke loves him and jumps up on to him everytime he comes to take him for a walk. We will definitely rebook in the future!”

“I have worked with and know Karrington personally. From dogs to cats to chickens to ducks, they all love her. My own animals adore her. She has taught me many tricks to help with my over active (lol) labradoodle puppies. I also have a cat and a chihuahua puppy and they all absolutely love her. When we worked together she could tell me the personalities of each dog before the even arrived. She is very patient, attentive, and helpful and an absolute joy to be around. She was stern enough to where the dogs listened to her, honest enough to where they trusted her and sweet enough to where they loved her. She is definitely a rare find. To be honest, because of her I am going to get some baby ducks soon! Her ducks are amazing! So beautiful! Her some film with animals let’s u know she was born for this.”

“Lindsey was great - she came by to meet and greet our high maintenance special needs dog and spent 2 hours trying to make him comfortable. She was great with Sadie for their walk! Very good with dogs!”

“Shannon is an extremely patient and compassionate individual who loves animals. She has two dogs of her own that are given the best of care. I would trust her whole heartedly with any of my furry dependents.”

“Vanessa was wonderful! I felt 1000% comfortable with my Ozzy being with her and she always made sure to update me with how he was. I recommend her whole heartedly and will be using her for future services when I need them!!”

About: I have grown up with and owned dogs all my life. I worked with a volunteer animal rescue in my middle and high school years. Where my family and I fostered, boarded, and adopted several dogs over the years. With that being said, I have a lot of experience with pups of all ages, needs, and personalities. My family now owns 4. 1 small, 2 medium, and 1 large and I love them all dearly. One of them is a bit skiddish and sometimes aggressive, but her behavior has improved since we got her. It just takes patience and time to build trust and train. We also own a senior dog that is around 14 years old. She needs extra potty time and some assistance getting around the house, but again, patience is all it takes. I love dogs with all my heart; young and old, big and small. I am a full time college student on summer break. Now that I am home, I take on the responsibilities of all our critters. I feed, water, play with, and let out the dogs. Same with the cats. When they need baths, I take care of that. If they make a mess by accident in the house, I clean it up. Pretty much all the standard care that dogs and cats need. I am a very active person and I enjoy being outdoors. I can walk dogs as much as they need, play with them in their owner’s yard (if applicable), or just chill with them inside. The same goes for cats too. If the owner needs their cat to be walked (I have done that before), let outside, or just fed and played with, then I will do it. Communication is key! I am always open to questions.

“Alana is a Super Star! She is so very patient and loving towards animals. My animals looked forward to her visiting! She has given my 2 large dogs baths, clipped & grinded their nails. She even brushed their teeth! She gets them outside for some physical activity and just plain fun! I can tell, she is passionate about her works with animals! Thank you for everything, Alana!”

“My pups love staying with lasheena. She takes such great care of them like they were her own pups. Our smallest is very particular about many things and lasheena made sure she was well taken care of. I enjoyed all of my video and picture updates from her showing all the fun my pups were having.”

“Jenny once again was amazing! I booked her for a last minute dog walk and she was on time and updated me with lots of pictures. My go-to girl!”

“Charlie has watched my dog on multiple occasions and she is very nice and loving with my baby. She is very responsible and patient also. I will always trust her with my dog anytime. You can tell she has a love for all animals!”

About: I've taken care of puppies in training and older dogs on medications. I have experience with crate trained dogs and puppies. I also have experience with potty training. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and spending quality time loving them. I currently work at a small boutique/book store in town. My schedule Varys from week to week, but when I work full days it is from 10am-6pm with a lunch break around 1pm. This allows me to take care of your pets in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Some days I work half days either morning (10-2) or afternoon (2-6). I have taken care of many animals within my clients home, because they prefer someone to be there. I make sure all doors are locked at night after nightly potty routine, and make sure at least one light is on for safety purposes. If there is an alarm to be set, I set if before I go to bed. I follow the owners instructions for their pet as well as for their home to ensure responsibility and care for their pet and home.

About: I want to create a trusting bond with the owners and their dogs. I want tell the owner that I want to care and make their dog happy and create a human to animal relationship, so they don’t feel threatened but safe and loved. Just to be a good friend to their furry friend. I am aware that each dog is different, which makes them unique, which is why I love working with animals and being around them makes me feel good and hopefully to make the animal feel good. I’m not the greatest but I will work hard for you(owner) so you know that your dog is in great hands. Thank you for considering me and your time reading my “about me” paragraph, thank you. I am working part time and my availability is the days I have off on Monday and Friday and mornings Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday. Please reach out if you need anything! I live in a small apartment with my dad but if needed to watch a pet inside home I always spend time with the pup(all dogs are puppies to me). I will help out my family friends with their dogs and I always text to update them about when I let their dogs out, when I gave them food and water. Taking care of your and your pup’s needs is my priority making sure your pet is happy and safe.

“I have known Ariel forever, and have used her plenty of times. I met Ariel at church and first used her after I had a complete knee replacement a few years back. I was impressed with her willingness and ability to take care of all 3 of my chihuahuas while I was on complete bed rest. The only complaint I have about Ariel is that my dogs seem to enjoy her company more than my own! Haha, but in all seriousness I am happy to have such a great pet caretaker for my fur babies. Ariel is also very willing to help with other things around the house which was nice and very useful as I was unable to do things for many many months.”

About: Growing up I always had a love for all kinds of pets. Going for long walks and play sessions are my go to for having fun with fur babies. I love watching how happy they get after grooming or after eating delicious treats with a smile. I will take care of them as if they are my own babies and give them all the love and attention they need while your away. I am currently doing school at home for right now and unemployed till I graduate in 2 years so I have a free schedule for anytime. I will first take them for a potty break then they will eat and drink and I will entertain them by playing with them as long as they can till they are tired,( for my pets they usual fall asleep quickly after). Then will repeat these with treats as well as a few training lessons if necessary. But I mainly go based off how the owner wants me to take care of their fur baby. I also am a neat freak so I will clean any messes around your home if necessary with the owner.
