Dog Walking Taxahaw

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover based on a 10-acre homestead in Pageland, SC. I specialize in structured, safe boarding with supervised outdoor time and secure indoor accommodations. We have a brand-new 6-foot wooden privacy fence enclosing our backyard, providing a secure area for dogs to exercise, stretch, and explore during supervised potty breaks and play sessions. Guests stay in our large climate-controlled sunroom outfitted with seven kennels, giving each dog their own secure space to rest comfortably between outdoor time, meals, and enrichment. Crate rotation and routine breaks are built into our daily schedule, ensuring dogs have consistency and predictability. Crate & House Access Policy • Crating is standard when we are away or sleeping, and during rest periods. • Potty breaks are offered approximately every 2 hours during waking hours. • For older, calm, fully house-trained, non-destructive, and cat-friendly dogs, free-roam house access may be considered on a case-by-case basis with owner request and compatibility assessment. • Dogs with separation anxiety, destructive tendencies, or unsafe habits (counter-surfing, door-bolting, etc.) will remain on our structured crate schedule for their safety. Experience & Approach I’ve owned and cared for everything from hedgehogs and geckos to chickens, horses, and working-breed dogs. I’m comfortable with: • Medication administration (oral or topical) • Senior dogs • Puppies & house-training stages • Reactive or shy personalities • High-energy dogs who require clear routines • Multi-dog coexistence and safe rotations My husband runs his own business and is home most of the time, ensuring someone is almost always present for supervision, potty break intervals, and routine care. I am home evenings and weekends, and we work together to provide structure, security, and consistent monitoring. What You Can Expect • Individual crate spaces (no shared kennels) • 6-ft fully fenced private yard • Consistent potty break schedule (≈ every 2 hours) • Supervised outdoor time only • Optional house freedom only if fully compatible • Daily updates, photos, and communication We focus on safe, predictable, and tailored care based on each dog’s needs and the comfort level of their owner. Whether a pup thrives with structured crate rest or enjoys calm, supervised sunroom naps, we tailor stays responsibly rather than one-size-fits-all. I work full-time as an insurance producer in Monroe, NC from 8–5, Monday through Friday. I’m home all day on weekends, and during the week, my husband is at our homestead full-time and helps provide care and supervision. Since we work as a team, your pets will never be left alone for long periods. I’m also available for morning or evening drop-ins and walks depending on location and schedule! We live on a peaceful 10-acre homestead. We do not allow free play with other pets - so you know that your furry friend is safe and sound the entire stay! They will have supervised playtime with other pups from the same household, or with just our staff! Our top priority is a safe stay.

About: I have owned/cared for cats for as long as I can remember. I am currently an owner of 3 cats and 1 dog and have tons of experience caring for cats/dogs of family and friends. I genuinely love spending time with animals and giving them the attention/affection they need. I have experience with exercising, feeding, giving medication, and administering first aid to pets. I am a stay-at-home husband (and soon to be father) so my schedule is extremely flexible and I have reliable transportation. I’m available weekends and weekdays including evenings. My own pup is high energy/high anxiety (but he absolutely loves other dogs!) so I can understand that every pet has individualized needs. I am happy to work with any owner on a case by case basis to determine what works best for their pet. I can do home visits or could potentially house pets at my residence. We have a large backyard sitting on about 8 acres of land. Dogs love it here!

“Anna was so helpful and treated my dog like her own! Will definitely book with her again.”

About: I have cared for pets my entire life for my family has never not had a pet in the home! I will love and cherish your pets because all life is important-especially if you love them and I will not take your trust for granted. I will be sure to leave your home better than I found it and take care of plants, fish, etc. that needs attended to! I love Jesus with all of my heart and all that I do is done to Glorify Him! Thank you for taking the time to read what I have to offer and I hope I will be able to offer you assistance in any way that I can! I am currently finishing up my associates degree as well as my high school education. I go to school three times a week and the rest of my work is online. I babysit after class for those three days of the week. I am free every weekend in addition to Monday's and Friday's to offer all the love, care, and attention I can offer to your pets!! To provide safety, trust, and environment caring for your pets in your home, I promise to follow every instruction told/left for me as well as providing you with updates on your babies while you are gone. I am sure that you will be missing your pet(s) immensely so I will keep you updated on all of the happenings as well as protecting your babies with my life!

About: My experience comes from owning my own pets (goats,chickens,ducks,dogs,cats,bunnies,guinea pigs,hamsters) and petsitting (yes, even even horses, pigs, snakes and bugs). In previous years, I fostered for countless animal rescue groups and shelters, whether it was just volunteering or fostering puppies or senior dogs in need. I currently own a pitbull/lab rescue, Cali, who I trust with few people. I completely understand the anxiety when it comes to trusting someone new to watch over your pup. This is why I prioritize communication, forming relationships with both pets and parents, sending frequent updates and paying close attention to details/routines provided to me. After each visit, you can always expect to find water bowls to be clean and full, leashes hung up and everything just as you left it except this time with a happy and tired pup! Please reach out with as many questions as you'd like, I look forward to hearing from you! I have a dog of my own, so pet care is already built into my routine and something I look forward to everyday. I'm also available for last minute needs and do my best to be as flexible as possible as I understand plans can change :) How I care for your pet depends entirely on the instructions you give me, I strive to follow your directions as closely as possible to ensure you, your pet and myself all have a great experience that is as similar as can be to your routine with them. With that being said, each pet I care for is treated as my own and will have my full attention when I am with them.

About: I grew up taking care of my childhood pets. I grew up with a Dalmatian and an orange tabby cat! I loved taking my dog out for walks and playing with him in our yard. I also had a guinea pig growing up and I now have three amazing cats but love all creatures big and small! Exercise is important for your animal so let me be the one who keeps your pet healthy! I’m a stay at home mom so I have open availability to walk or check on your animals almost any day and time unless there is a prior commitment I have! I have two cats so I don’t offer in home services but I have a reliable vehicle that I can get to your home to walk and/or play with your pets in your yard!

About: My family owned dogs and cats all my life. Once I got old enough to take on responsibility, I started feeding, bathing, walking, and cleaning up after my pets. I love pets of all kind and I've owned dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and guinea pigs. I currently have 8 dogs of my own which are 7 American bullies and one Boston Terrier (Abel, Nyx, Hella, Cash, Holly, Buckshot, Zarah, and Maddie) a gecko named Leroy, and a baby quaker parrot, named Sully. I am very familiar and comfortable with all size of dogs as I have owned so many different breeds over the years. From Great danes to small dogs. I love spending time with my pets as well as getting to know and spend time with others. I understand the importance of doing what is asked by the owner of the pets! If you want someone that is a huge animal lover and who is reliable and trustworthy, look no further! I can't wait to hear from you and meet your fur baby !! I currently work full time, my days off vary and change a lot due to be being in management. I am normally available early in the day. If we have already pre booked something, and my work schedule changes, I will still make accommodations to make sure your baby is taken care of! While caring for your pet inside your home, I will do exactly what you ask of me and treat your fur baby and your property with respect. I will love and care for your baby as if they were my own and make sure the house is left in the same condition it was in before I arrived.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I currently have an almost 3-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer, a German Shepherd, and a rescue pit bull, so I’m very comfortable handling active, strong, and high-energy dogs. In addition to my own dogs, I’ve cared for friends’ dogs and cats many times, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to keep our pets on their routine and give them attention, patience, and a safe environment. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I am available in the mornings before work, during my lunch break, and after work in the evenings, which allows me to provide consistent drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and playtime. I also have more flexibility on weekends, which gives me the ability to take on longer visits or additional care if needed. I’m able to stay organized and reliable with my schedule, making sure each pet gets dependable attention and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, and any specific care preferences the owner provides. I make sure each pet gets attention, playtime, and comfort so they feel safe while their owner is away. I also keep the home clean and respected, making sure everything is left as I found it. I give regular updates so clients know how their pets are doing and can feel confident they are being well cared for.

About: I've lived with and loved all animals since I was tiny, and have a special gift for non-verbal communication with critters. My experience includes our own mini-farm, working my aunt's petting zoo, interning at a therapeutic riding program, and most recently at working at Project2Heal for the past year. In addition to traditional kennel duties of feeding, cleaning, etc, I helped whelp Lab puppies, monitored their health, provided ENS (early neurological stimulation), introduced puppies to water, bathing, basic obedience, obstacles, field trips, etc. I also worked, played with, and took mature dogs on field trips. I also still work with my aunt's mini Aussies, providing basic obedience training and play. I am very kind, relate well to dogs but stern when needed, and follow instructions well.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was little, family and friends always relied on my family. Our pets are very special to us and we can't wait to meet new fur-friends. I have also worked for a professional pet-sitting service in the past. My family works from home so we are able to give them the attention they need. More time for cuddles, walks and play time of course. Our dog hangs out in the office with us while we work and yours will be welcome as well. I have a fenced in yard and pets are always welcome in our home. We can also crate our Jack boy while the pups are getting used to each other. Pets are allowed on certain furniture in the home. I work from home most days so I am able to provide your pet with plenty of bathroom breaks, exercise and attention throughout each day. We just built a home and do not yet have a fence, but we have access to a dog park nearby for safe play throughout the stay.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 9. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk feed and bathe their pets and make sure they came home to a happy and healthy pup! I am available to take care of you pup all day on the weekends. I do work during the week however I can do during the week in home care :). I am flexible My home is very clean. I do not have a fenced in yard so please provide a leash if able. If your pet can be trusted to stay and not run away without a leash that is okay!! You can trust me to come to your home as I have done this plenty of times! I will make sure your pets have a clean water and food bowl and there are no messes as well as get some exercise in. And as always make sure they stay happy and healthy.

About: Hello, We're Kayla & Jenna. We met 3 years ago at a previous job training service dogs and breeding Labrador retrievers. We quickly formed an instant friendship and have remained close ever since. With our friendship surrounded by our deep passion and love for dogs, we decided to open up our business together training and caring for dogs. We have both been working with dogs for 10+ years each, along with working with puppies at 3 days old to dogs with reactivity. Jenna and I each specialize in reactivity, puppies, and basic obedience. With our hands on experience and background in several different training seminars, we have the ability to custom tailor our training programs to clients needs and wants. Jenna is also an AKC evaluator! We firmly believe every dog is unique and should be treated as such! • Drop off/pick up times: our drop off & pick up times are between 8am and 8pm. Please plan to be on time as we try to run on a schedule around dropoff/pickup times to make things easier for everybody. •Meet & greet: we are happy to have you & your pups come by for a meet & greet! For safety reasons, we don't allow new dogs to meet boarding dogs. We can go over any questions you may have about your dogs staying here & see where they'll be staying at night in the dog room. If you have any questions before your pups stay or would like to do a meet & greet, feel free to reach out & we would love to accommodate. We are both familiar with different dog breeds & can accommodate for behavioral issues! We are lucky enough for this to be our full-time job, so we are available all day to care for your pets! We enjoy meeting new dogs every week & getting to talk with clients about their training needs if necessary. DOGS MUST BE CRATE TRAINED We have a dog room where all the dogs sleep at night in their own separate crates, we have all pups sleep in a crate at night so everybody gets a good night's sleep & as a safety precaution. We have a huge fenced-in backyard for the dogs to play in during the day. We look forward to playing fetch with new friends or just relaxing outside on our screened-in back porch. We also bring out the kiddie pool in the summertime for the dogs to enjoy!

About: Hello and thank you for viewing my profile! I am a life-long animal lover who would love to provide care for your furry friends! I am well educated and highly experienced in raising, training, and the overall caring for dogs (along with a variety of other animals, ranging everywhere from pet rabbits to snakes lol). My love for animals began at a very early age when my mother started up her own small, in-home dog boarding and grooming business. My childhood was spent playing with, learning about and caring for dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities. Im so grateful for having had the privilege of growing up in such an animal loving environment, which undoubtedly played an immense role in shaping me into the total animal lover I am :) My main passion in life is caring for and spending time with *man’s best friend* <3 I am responsible, reliable, and dedicated. I am also comfortable with administering medications and assisting animals with disabilities. I am currently a part time student trying to earn a little side income doing something I truly enjoy and have a genuine passion for. I do not have any children and currently am not working, so I can devote as much time as possible for caring for your pets :) I’m available literally any time –day or night! This past year I moved to an apartment, so unfortunately am no longer able to sit or board pets in my home :( Luckily (?) I have a terrifying amount of free time lol so I’m basically available any time to take care of your fur baby(ies). I offer check-in visits, dog walking, pet sitting, as well as overnight/extended dog and house sitting.
