Dog Walkers in Travelers Rest, SC

About: With about 18 years of hands on pet care experience, what truly sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and deep understanding of animal behavior. Whether it’s a shy rescue who needs gentle encouragement or a senior cat who needs extra comfort and medication, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. I have loved and cared for animals since the day I was born. I have 5 dogs, a mini horse, and two rabbits. My goal is always to provide a stress-free, trustworthy experience for both pets and their people. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time during the week to take care of your babies when needed. My schedule is very flexible right now. I prefer not to work on the weekends, but if it is needed, I will make it work. In your home, I aim to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I take time to learn their habits—feeding schedules, favorite hiding spots, play routines, and any medical needs—so I can provide care that feels familiar and comforting. I make sure litter boxes are clean, water is always fresh, and your pet gets plenty of attention and affection at their own pace. For shy or senior pets, I move slowly and calmly, always respecting their space and personality.

“Marie is always great walking my dog April. She’s very responsive, on time, and sends great photos. Nothing but good things to say about Marie!”

About: I’ve worked with dogs of all ages – from energetic puppies who need structure and basic training, to senior dogs who require a gentler pace, extra attention, and sometimes medication or special care. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every animal like they’re my own – with affection, respect, and lots of belly rubs. I also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine because it’s something I truly enjoy. I’m available every day, at any time, which means I can easily fit into your pet’s schedule—whether that’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle time. Being flexible allows me to give each pet the attention and consistency they need, and I’m always happy to adapt to their unique routines and personalities. Spending time with animals is one of the best parts of my day, and I make sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for at all times. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely—whether that includes feeding times, walk schedules, playtime, crate training, or administering medication. I always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their own environment, and I treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own.

“Josie is friendly and reliable. She is always on time and provides detailed reports of her walks with Thuthie Seashell. Thuthie definitely looks forward to her walks with Josie!”

“Reagan is the best! She went out of her way to grab a new collar for us when our pups couldn’t be found. She’s attentive and reliable! We couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: I started working with animals 8 years ago as a volunteer at a rescue barn. I've volunteered with about 3 other rescues and shelters, from walking dogs to monitoring health conditions. I just want to show all those little furry family members the love they deserve, and make sure they can be well taken care of if you are unable or temporarily absent. I currently only work 7-2 on weekends. Otherwise, I'm wide open and would love to run and play with your pets! We love treats and I'm a quick learner. Your routine, becomes my routine. I prefer to get a play by play of each animal's daily life at home so I can most relate their stay with me in my home to it. From feeding times to walking times and even play times, I love to have a set schedule to make all our lives easier. Of course flexibility is a must, and I'm happy to follow any needs that are seen fit because the animal's well being is top priority.

“I'm so glad that Caite was able to come to my tiny house and walk my big pups. They seem so happy and well taken care of! I will use Caite in the future. Thank you so much Caite.”

“Daisy Lou took to William immediately. They both seemed to have a great walk. Daisy Lou was wiped out and just laid down to cool herself off but was excited to see him each visit”

About: I graduated from Montana State University November 2020, in Agriculture Education. I now work from home for a Credit U ion full time, but have plenty time in the afternoons and mornings to care for your pets! My pet sitting experience ranges from taking care of family and friends pets, to my own. I have been around all animals from cats and dogs to horses and cows my whole life. I'm not much of a runner, but I enjoy walks and hiking. I am also available for a walk on my lunch breaks typically 12-1 every week day but that can be flexible. I am training to be a dog groomer as well, so that will always be an option for an small additional charge ♥️ I work 10:00am to 7:00pm Monday through Friday and typically just clean and relax on weekends (and some camping and lake days in the summer). I severely miss my fur babies and would love to take your baby(s) to the park to play! Your fur baby will get plenty of exercise! If you have a more relaxed pet, we will spend our days in the sun reading and relaxing. Me being able to stay in your home allows your dog the comfort of their space, this can be helpful for babies that are uncomfortable with new people. I make sure I keep the same schedule they are use to.

“Shawn was so loving and kind with Mia when they met. She communicated clearly, came on time and sent me some cute photos of their walk. I would highly recommend her”

About: Since I was a child I've had multiple pet sitting jobs. I worked at a animal hospital Where I was in charge of feeding, walking and bathing all types of dogs and cats. Im also a Certified ABC Dog Behavior graduate. I love doing obedience training with all types of dogs, young and old . Its so neat to see the different types of personalities. So, allow me to help you feel at ease while your fur baby is away from you. Let's customize their stay by doing some of their favorite things and or routines to make their stay most enjoyable. I can even do *basic training if you're interested as well. *Additional charge will apply depending on what you would like done 😀 we can discuss this... I work with the school system so when schools are out, I'm off as well. So being able to do short trip or extended holiday breaks are no problem.. I have a fenced in yard with a doggie obstacle course, lots of toys and filtered water in several areas. I use cedar cypress blend mulch this help keep pests away for more play time. Bandit is my medium size neutered male boxer mix who loves company or just chilling on one of the the two decks. There's also a 50 ft runner for the escape artist enthusiasts, so no one is left behind. 0 children on premises...

“Taylor was very understanding and acommodating with several last minute schedule changes that came up on my end. She sent photo updates and was great at communicating how everything went with our pup. Will definitely be utilizing her services again!”

“Kylie was amazing! She helped us out by giving our dogs some exercise while we were away for the weekend. The pups loved her, and she took many great pictures, providing updates throughout the weekend. :) We couldn't thank her more and highly recommend Kylie. Punctual, quick to respond, friendly, pups loved her”

About: Max and Nat Pet sitting! We love pets, but aren’t ready to have our own yet which is why we love taking care of yours! Between the two of us, your pets will be getting the best love and attention! DISCLAIMERS: we work as a team! Between the two of us, your pet will receive the most love and attention you could ask for while away! We are typically early risers and are very active so love walking/ playing. I only pet sit at the home of the dog because I have experienced that they are most comfortable in their own home! I understand how much you love your pet, which is why I will provide the best care while you are away!

“Professional and kind”

About: I am certainly the “dog lady”. A doggo can never be too spoiled- they shower us with unconditional love and bring warmth to any home. I am a military veteran and rescued my pup in Turkey when I was deployed. Didn’t necessarily want a pet at the time but gosh golly am I grateful. She has been the most incredible addition to my life and I wouldn’t change a thing. I wanted to do this because I have such a tremendous fear of my pet being mistreated while I am away. Being new to the area- I actually drive six hours to bring her to my family instead of finding someone locally. I have a complete understanding of what the pet parent goes thru while they’re away and I know I can provide safe fun cuddly care for your pet. I recently took a hiatus from work after losing my dog. I understand the care pets deserve from first hand experience and sometimes guilt when you just can’t get home. My schedule is pretty open for your fur baby needs. Dogs are superior in this world. I treat all animals with respect and dignity. If you have specific requests I will do my best to accommodate you and your baby!

About: I am a go to animal sitter for my neighborhood and friends. My whole life I have always had animals in my household. I have taken care of animals from the age of 2 months to 13 years old. I am currently in college and have a ton of free time during the day. I do not have a job commitment so I am available any and everyday I am needed. I will take care of your animals by making sure they are comfortable around me, with lots of treats and loving. I will make sure all of the medical needs are met and expectations are succeeded!

“Katrina was wonderful and I highly recommend her for any pet care services.”
