Dog Walking Taftville

“Charlene was fantastic, and great with our puppy Porter! She reached out in the morning to confirm, she was prompt, and very patient. She was happy to join myself on a walk with Porter through an area she was not familiar with, giving her a chance to become familiar with it. Charlene was very attentive and helpful on our walk, I trust her to take good care of my boy in the future!”

About: I've had cats since I was about 4 years old, and trained my own service dog (adopted as a senior from a pound) from 2016-2023, when she sadly passed. I've taken care of a range of pets belonging to family, friends, and family's friends and coworkers. I can handle pets of all ages, from kittens/puppies to senior animals, as well as working on training and house-breaking. I'm currently only working part-time with very few hours, so pet care is honestly how I'd like to spend my spare time and make my income. I'm very focused on the details of individual pet's care. I always make sure I understand the feeding schedules and amounts, how often the animals need to go outside, whether they can be off-leash in a fenced in area or if they need to be on an outside line or on a leash, whether or not cats go on walks, and I'm very careful to not leave human food around for them to get into. I always ask as many questions as possible to make sure I provide the best care for the pets I'm looking after.

About: I’ve grown up my whole life with dogs and cats in my family! I grew up with 2 small dogs (10lbs), both living until 15 years old. Our one girl Lilly needed medication for congestive heart failure twice a day everyday for years. We snuck it in with peanut butter…to her it was just a treat! I also have pet sit for my sister who has 2 large dogs (50lbs doodle & 100lbs golden retriever/German Shepard mix), and my aunt who has a German Shepard. I now live with my 2 cats, and 2 other cats of my family (4 total). I love my cats more than anything in the world, and make sure they are as spoiled as can be. I am comfortable taking cats outside on a harness and a leash! That’s how my cats go outside. I am comfortable taking care of dogs and cats, respecting their boundaries, and making sure that they are comfortable around me! I am a freelance makeup artist so most of my work is done on the weekends, leaving the weekdays almost completely open every week. I have plenty of time from morning until night! I have a lot of time for drop in visits, and walks, however because of my home situation with all of my cats, they would not be fond of other animals coming in, and I am too attached to leave my cats at night. I treat every pet that I meet like I am their favorite aunt that spoils them every time she comes over! I like to learn as much about them as possible so that I can respect them, their space, and their boundaries. I am very trusting when it comes to animals and rarely feel unsafe around them. It can be scary letting people into your home and caring for your pets and I understand that 100%, so I want everyone to be as comfortable as possible. I want each pet to have the best quality of life possible, and if I can assist with that I would love to.

“Great experience using rover for first time. I couldn’t walk my dogs because of ankle surgery. Ashlyne responded right away and came over on short notice and walked my two dogs, an 11yrs old black lab and an 1yrs old black lab / Belgian malinois mix. They both liked her and went walking with her with no hesitation. Plan to use Ashlyne again and highly recommend her.”

About: I like to be active with pets and can also adjust to their personality. I enjoy just being present and spending time with all animals in general I’m currently working full time so after work is best fit for me. Anytime from 5 o clock until whenever. Also free on the weekends I tend to play inside a lot but going outside is a plus. Walks included and just being active if possible. Sometimes just sitting down and relaxing going with the dog and its individual needs

“First impressions were excellent. She went out of her way to wake up early after a late shift just to meet beforehand, which I really appreciated. She followed all instructions perfectly and made the entire process easy and stress-free. I only needed basic care—letting my pup out and feeding him—but she still went above and beyond my expectations. Very reliable and professional. I would absolutely recommend her and will most likely be booking with her again.”

About: Hi! I’m a full-time therapist and lifelong animal lover. I have two dogs of my own who are currently training to become therapy dogs, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive interactions. I love spending time with animals and have cared for and pet sat for friends’ pets many times over the years. I’d love to help keep your pet (dog or cat) happy, safe, and well cared for! My full-time work schedule varies from week to week, which allows me flexibility in my availability. Depending on the day, I can often accommodate walks and visits in the early morning, mid-afternoon, or late evening. I’m happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit their needs and will communicate clearly about my availability to ensure reliable care for your pet. I care for pets in their own environment where they feel most comfortable. I follow all care instructions closely, maintain their routine, provide plenty of affection and exercise, and keep owners updated with photos and messages. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.

About: I’m been volunteering for dog walking since colleges in North Carolina dog shelter. Since then, I fell in love with dogs. Personally, I had a husky. I took care of him and he is so sweet. Doggy, my love!!!!! I’m available throughout the week. Starting from 11:00 am to 7:00pm. Personally, I take care of my dog and I generally take a dog walk whenever I’m free in the afternoon or night I normally have a single room for my dog to play or sleep around there. Also, it is free ranged. Normally, my dog will sleep besides my bed

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 4, and then when I turned 12 I began taking care of other dogs around the neighborhood. I have had the enormous blessing of making friends of both human, canine, and feline through pet sitting & Rover. The profile says I had only one repeat client but I’ve had over eight families (in addition to many others by word of mouth) that have repeatedly used my loving care for their animals and homes. I had a very successful and full pet care business in multiple states including; Illinois, Utah, and California. I have house sat for more families than I can remember and all were happy and safe experiences for the pets, families, and me! I’m working a little part time and spend a lot of time taking care of myself and writing. Pet care has always worked into my every day and weekly schedule very easily and with excitement as I love to be around animals. I make sure to be aware of the environment and the animal before I make any big steps. I check for fences and make sure doors are closed. I have a cat right now that is very warm yet shy so when I get the chance to house pets in my home I know they will be separate and safe. I ensure that each animal is safe and seen in all environments whether it is outside on walks or in the backyard or even just in the kitchen.

About: All my life, I’ve been around friend’s dogs, and families who have had dogs and cats. I’ve personally had dogs since as far back as I can remember. Growing up, I walked them, fed them, cleaned up after them, and played with them. Later, the two dogs I had of my own were allowed in all areas of the house, and, I would take them on hikes, play fetch, go on car rides, clean up after them, abs snuggle together at home. I’d be delighted to do the same for your pups! I now have two cats who live to play, lounge around, abs hangout with my husband and me. They have access to the whole house and just like my dogs from before, they are well cared for. Let me know what you need and I can work to accommodate you! I can be flexible and do my best during the week to assist you. November 4th is my last day with my full time job and Rover will be my main focus. I have two indoor cats that have access to the whole house. I feed them, play with them, and clean their litter boxes. My dogs were allowed in all areas of the house and I would take them out for walks, play in the yard, and I would clean up after them. I would do the same going over your house to watch your cat or dog.

“Sarah is awesome would definitely recommend! Very flexible and responsive.”
