Dog Walkers in Trust, NC

About: I’ve been watching pets for 7 years now for family friends and coworkers. I also worked for a veterinarian my senior year of high school as a Kennel Assistant amount other things. I am a college student who is looking to care for pets while I am working my way to a career in animal care. I am going to school with the aim of completing Vet school. I love taking care of pets and I’m an animal person at heart. When caring for pets, whether in your home or a client's home, I follow these key practices: - Activity and Attention: I ensure pets get enough activity and attention to keep them happy. During drop-in visits, I make sure they feel loved and engaged from the moment I arrive until I leave. - Feeding: I strictly adhere to the pet's food requirements, ensuring their diet is properly maintained. - Communication: I maintain regular communication with pet owners, providing updates on their pet's well-being and any notable activities or behaviors. By following these steps, I ensure that pets are well-cared for and pet owners are kept informed and reassured.

About: Hi friends! I am an energetic person who LOVES the outdoors and basically any kind of animal. I am blessed enough to be able to work for my husband for his concrete business so I am home (mostly) all day every day! I have 3 dogs myself; a Border Collie, GSP, and a mixed breed (half Great Pyrenees, half Australian Shepherd). They are my babies. I live on 19 acres that is all fenced but 18 of those acres are occupied for our 13 goats and 3 llamas! No worries though, we have a huge fenced in area directly beside/where our house sits just for dogs! We also have a doggie door from inside, leading to the outdoor area, so your dog will definitely get the exercise and outdoor time they deserve, as well as coming and going as they please! :) I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! Monday-Thursday with some weekends! We travel a lot over the weekends in the summer so weekends are limited but I will keep my weekend schedule updated We have a doggie door leading to the fenced in area for our dogs so they are able to come and go as they please. If you aren’t comfortable with the doggie door, I will make sure your pet does not use it and I will take them out for breaks frequently!

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was five years old. I still distinctly remember the breeder of the first dog I ever owned - a chocolate lab named Ginger - looking me in the eye after seeing I was apprehensive about the dogs and telling me, "Son, some day this dog will be the best friend you ever had." Ginger and I went everywhere together. I've had dogs and cats virtually my whole life, and the animals love me. While I am employed full time, I work in a hybrid setting that includes roughly 3 remote days per week, so I can be pet sitting on site and developing as close a band as I can to alleviate the babies' separation anxiety. I aim to please - if you'd prefer for your fur baby to be crated at night, then I will make sure s/he does that. My only job, other than to make the babies' experience as smooth as possible, is to follow the directions laid out by the owners.

About: I’ve bred and raised Old English Sheepdogs in childhood and have been pet sitting and caring for dogs ever since! I have experience administering medications, and even raised a cared for a dog with epilepsy and other medical conditions. I have experience in basic dog training, and experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities. I offer multiple pet-care services and guarantee excellent care :) I work part time and have a flexible schedule. While my work load does change week to week, on weeks I have scheduled pet care services, it is my priority and my weekly focus. I have a fenced in yard, doggy-door to the yard, and a large apartment without personal-pets, but with an option to have play time with my family’s dog next door :) For care within the clients home I am happy to follow your preferred routine and can adjust my schedule to accommodate your pet’s needs. I can stay in-home for more involved care, or drop in for feedings, potty-breaks, and play time daily.

About: We have had horses, cows, chickens, goats, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, you name it. I am very good at communicating with them and making them feel at home. I am a nursing student in need of a good paying job with a flexible schedule. This opportunity seemed perfect to me especially since outside of class I don’t get to interact with animals a lot! My home is very safe. Our fields have fences around them and I would keep your fur babies on leashes if they need to be!

“Julie is seriously such a trooper! For having to deal with rainstorms and hornets and heat on her walks with Summer, our gratitude just continues to grow. Thank you Julie!”

About: I've had pets since I was a teenager. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 ferrets and 3 birds (2 cockatoos one quaker parrots). I've recently retired as a Project Manager from the Department of Veterans Affairs after 34 years. I just became retired and so I have plenty of time to hang out, play and entertain your pets. Almost all dogs and cats love me. As a project manager with the VA for the last 25 years I've been in a position of high public trust requiring that I have a background check every 5 years.

“Tina did a great job walking our two fur babies! She spent plenty of time with them, made sure they had everything they needed and sent lots of pics. Will definitely use her again!”

About: I have raised and trained dogs since I was 11 years old. I worked in a boarding kennel for 3 years learning about caring for multiple dogs simultaneously. I am very respectful of dogs and their owner's wishes and I pour great care into providing a safe and enjoyable experience for the dogs. I am only available every other month due to my full time job schedule but on my off months I take caring for dogs very seriously and absolutely love it. I would love to have the privilege of caring for your dogs as well! If you are interested in my services feel free to contact me with any possible concerns, I will be happy to answer them. Thank you for your time! My schedule is very flexible due to the way I have decided to build my life, so I can cover a lot of your scheduling needs. I am a real estate agent, I interview and promote local business and organizations, and I help manage the local farmers market in Canton. I get to pick and choose when and where I work basically every day so fitting pet care into my schedule is no issue at all. In my home pets are given lots of love, enrichment activities, and time to rest. My yard is not fenced in so we go on walks at the local park in Canton where I live. I believe that animals have personhood like humans and so I treat them with the same love and respect I would give to another person. At a client's home I follow their instructions and the routines they have in place for their furry babies. If they don't have a great space for playing and getting out some energy then I am always happy to take them on a trip like a walk, hike, or to the park.

About: I've taken care of my family and friend's pets since I was 16 years old. My experience doing so had pushed me to work towards a degree in veterinary medicine. Im working on getting an internship while on summer break currently. So I am free on the weekends and will be free after 5ish on the weekdays. I can crate pets when requested. I have two fur babies at home with a fenced in yard to keep your babies company. I love to run around and get everyone's energy out or lay on the couch and snuggle!

About: Have had pets my entire life, bred multiple reptiles in the past, have had several dogs over the years, exotics, still have a 23 year old african grey who is my middle child who won't leave the nest, spent a decade volunteering at a no-kill shelter, multiple animal rescues, have worked in multiple veterinary offices, been vegetarian since 1997, worked as a vegan chef in several restaurants, and still love to cook for potlucks, friends and fun! Working full time, but have evenings and overnights available. Aside from that, my only regular commitment is volunteering at an animal rescue , and can adjust my hours there accordingly. Will follow the owners instructions to the tee, and more often than not spend additional time when possible. I'm currently without pets of my own which is rare for me, so I have an ample amount of attention and care to spare!

About: I have trained puppies, love taking fur babies on hikes, and have cared for people’s pets off an on my entire life. I am also in the process of training a kitten and traveling. I am familiar with livestock such as chickens, pigs, and goats. I am currently traveling the country living a nomad lifestyle, I have an open agenda which means plenty of time to provide excellent car for your furry loved ones. I provide ample love and attention, ensure proper exercise/play time, and maintain their current schedules. I routinely supply you (the pet parent) with updates as well as photos and videos of your furry friends living their best life while you also live yours.

About: I have loved animals from the minute I opened my eyes. I grew up with the responsibility of caring for my critters (goats, horse, donkeys, dogs, cats) and now have two cats and dogs of my own! Within the last five years I have happily assisted friends and acquaintances with their furry friends as well. I am happy to meet y’all! It’s part of my daily routine to feed, water, and hangout with my fur babies. At this point it is second nature because I’ve done it for so long (my whole life). I will love on and play with the pet to their comfort level, am comfortable giving medication, and will send daily updates/photos! I do not house sit at my own home due to my critters

About: I've been house & pet sitting for many years. I'm very mature, responsible, and dependable. You can count on me. I love animals but don't have any pets because of my traveling lifestyle, so I love getting to bond with little cuties all over. I am a dance/movement teacher as well as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (a body-based trauma therapy). I work from home on zoom these days, so I am around a lot to give love to your pet. Some of my loves (besides animals) are dancing, traveling, photography, art projects, hiking, being in nature, and fixing up Scooby (my Honda Element that I've turned into a "Hotelement"). I've traveled all over the world until COVID hit, but since then have traveled across the country twice and am so appreciating the beauty of my own country. I am vaccinated and am very careful about COVID as well, so know if I'm in your home, I will be taking good care. I'm happy to take care of your pet in any way you need. The thing I have the hardest time with is saying goodbye to the little ones when it's time to go! I work for myself part-time on zoom (so I'm home a lot), so I set my own hours. This way I can work around the needs of your pet. I love cuddling and playing with pets. If it's allowed, I love having them up on the couch with me when I watch a movie, and don't mind them sleeping in my bed at night.

About: Growing up, my mom took in just about everything from scaled and slithering to four legged and prancing. I walked our dogs as well as dogs in my neighborhood for a little extra cash as a kid. I work a very open schedule, 7-8 AM leaving 8:30AM - 1:15PM open for me to hang out with your furry friends M-F or after 8 PM for their last walk of the night. Weekends are completely flexible! My dog and I go on three walks a day, so I know the neighborhood pretty, I make sure my furry friends always walk by the grass when we walk and walk in the direction of traffic so we see the cars coming. Your pets will always be on a leash when they’re with me!

About: Just like caring for my daughter, I care for my dog just as well. And if I’m caring for your pet, chanced are they are being absolutely spoiled and will be worn out by the time they are returned to you. I am great at training and could have yours doing new tricks by the time they are returned. I can even groom/ nail trim on occasion if needed, just ask. I understand our pets are our family and like me, you’ll probably worry about them staying with a complete stranger. You’ll worry about them from the second you leave them with me until you get them back. But I promise I’ll care for them as they are my own. I’ll send photos frequently as I I know this eases worry. I do require you provide a crate in the chance wi leave the house. Your welcome to check in on them anytime without worrying that your bothering me. I work part time at a school so I am available to allow pets to relieve themselves and even get some energy through the day. I would care for a pet the way the owner cares for them. I wouldn’t want to change the pts daily routine so keeping them on schedule and following the woners pet rules is how I work.
