Dog Walkers in Swannanoa, NC

“We went out of town for the weekend and asked Neil to walk our dog a couple of times a day. We knew our dog was in good hands with someone that would take care of her for the short time that we were gone. Neil arrived at the times he said he would be there and had excellent communication. We are leaving town again next month and will be requesting Neil to take care of our beloved pup again!! Thanks Neil”

“What a wonderful treat to meet Bess (she goes by her middle name) today! She was just lovely, and Ziggy took to her immediately. Miraculously, my senior guy walked nearly a mile with her. We look forward to seeing Bess again soon.”

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and a caring heart. I work with animals of all ages, sizes, breeds, etc. Animals naturally gravitate to me and feel safe. I love being able to help out fellow humans with the bonus of keeping your animals happy & healthy :) I am a mama to a young boy, who is also good with animals. Although, he is in school most of the time these days. I do not usually come out later in the evenings due to my son’s bedtime, but can make it work if you are located close by. During the day time I have a good bit of flexibility. I am currently only offering services at the clients home - I like to meet before hand so that I can visibly see what I will need to do. If this is under shorter notice / a meet cannot occur, please either write or text me a message of any needs, concerns or details necessary to make it the best time for your pets. You can trust that your pets will be happy, safe and well taken care of.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my well-rounded experience and genuine love for animals of all ages. I’ve cared for energetic puppies, mellow senior pets, and everything in between. I’m patient, observant, and always make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need—whether that’s playtime, a slow walk, or just some quiet company. I’ve also had experience with basic training, helping puppies learn good habits early on. I treat every pet like family and always aim to create a safe, loving environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. As a student-athlete at Montreat College, my schedule is busy but structured, which helps me stay organized and make time for what I love—caring for pets. Taking care of animals is actually a fun and relaxing getaway from the demands of school and sports. I already care for my own Maltipoo and cat, so it’s second nature to fit walks, playtime, and feedings into my day. It’s something I look forward to and take seriously, always making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always aim to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow the pet’s routine closely—sticking to their feeding schedule, walk times, play habits, and any special instructions you provide. In a client’s home, I respect the space and make sure everything is clean and secure. If pets stay with me, they’ll have a cozy spot to relax, plenty of attention, and time outside for walks and play. I focus on keeping things calm and consistent so your pet feels right at home, even when you’re away.

“Savannah was great through and through! She was very communicative and prompt with both the meet and greet and the dog walks and made sure that our boy felt comfortable and at home with her. Looking forward to booking again!”

I’m jobless due to the displacement of hurricane, I am willing to really work whenever as long as it doesn’t interfere with my therapy appointments!

About: I grew up around German shepherds and Golden Retrievers since I was a young girl. My family always had lots of cats as well! Animals are our family, friends and even children. They deserve to be treated equally, with patience and understanding. I have experience with many different breeds and ages, puppies to senior, kittens, etc. Allowing each animal to come to me in their own time and feel out my energies. High energy? No problem! I’m eager to walk as many times as needed, play with them, feedings and even bathe! Many of my friends have trusted me to watch their dogs and cats for years, and I have an amazing connection with each. I hope to understand your animals personality and treat them like my own! I have a completely open schedule at the moment and am eager to make new connections. Pet care and house sitting fits perfectly into my routine. I am flexible to my blocked days as well depending on your needs. I have roommates who are not currently open to me boarding at the moment but I can travel and come to your house, stay overnight, be there for most of the day. Open to whatever is needed and finding a flow. I had a senior golden named Violet who I loved very much, she passed last year and currently have 4 cats. I care for them as my own children, my family and love them very much. I have always had a deep respect for animals that will never change. It shows in how I care for them.

About: I’ve had and cared for dogs and cats my entire life. My neighbors call on me as they know how much I love their pets as my own. I have experience with training and had an Australian Labradoodle as well as cat. I am not quite ready to get a new dog but would love to spend time with some furry friends with my current flexibility! I work from home, my husband works a lot and my 16 year old is busy being a teenager. I’m very flexible and can do doggy walks, overnights stays and even host dogs at my house. I have no current pets. I have a fenced in yard and a great neighborhood for walking dogs! Working from home allows plenty of time for extra snuggles and playing.
