Dog Walkers in Van Wyck, SC

“My fur babies love going on walks with Taryn and I enjoy receiving their reports and pictures from their walk excursions. She is very friendly and punctual and I am grateful to have found her since I am currently recovering from surgery so unable to give them their daily walks. I would recommend Taryn for any future service for your fur babies 🐶. Thank you”

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.

“Took such great care of our pup over a weekend. She was very happy and made a new friend! Great communicator, kept me updated throughout, lots of pics. Thank you Justin!”

“Phil was great, I’d highly recommend! He was great at communicating leading up to Sasha’s walk and arrived on time. I immediately felt comfortable with Sasha in his care. He took time to meet her and she quickly took to him. I loved the photos I got in the report card too! I know I can trust Phil with my dog. We will definitely have Phil as our regular dog walker/sitter in the future!”

About: What sets me apart is the deep, lifelong connection I’ve had with dogs. I’ve personally raised three pups from just six weeks old all the way through their senior years. Each one grew into a loving, obedient, and well-mannered companion, and I’ve been through every stage of life with them—from puppy energy to senior snuggles. That experience has given me a strong understanding of how to care for dogs at any age, whether it’s gentle patience with a new pup or extra comfort and support for older dogs. This is a truly dog-friendly home where your pet will feel like family. I have three kind and respectful kids who absolutely adore dogs and are always excited to welcome new furry friends into our home. Whether your pup loves to play, nap, or just follow someone around all day, there’s a warm spot (and probably a willing lap) waiting for them here. I don’t just watch dogs—I care for them as if they were my own. 🐾 Hi! I’m a school social worker with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School District, and caring for others—whether it’s students or furry friends—has always been second nature to me. I’ve had a dog in my life since I was a teenager, and I truly believe dogs are one of the most perfect, loving animals on this earth. 💛 Over the years, I’ve trained dogs to go potty outside, sit, stay, lay down, heel on walks, and even speak when it’s treat time (a favorite trick in our house!). I’ve also raised multiple dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, so I’m comfortable with dogs at all life stages and energy levels. This is a dog-loving home, through and through. I have three kids who are gentle, kind, and absolutely adore dogs. There’s always a cozy corner, a warm cuddle, and plenty of love waiting for your pup here. Whether they want to play, nap, go on walks, or just soak up some attention, your dog will be treated like one of the family I do not have a fence in yard but it is partially fenced in. I do have a dog lead and I will always be outside

About: I raised my two dogs from when they were 10 days old, as well as my older dog who is almost 10. I have also watched neighborhood dogs for 7 years I am currently looking for a job, so I have plenty of time to play with and take care of your pets! I wake up and take care of my own pets, then have multiple opportunities throughout the day to visit your pets again! I have lots of experience handling all types of animals, including very large dogs (175+ lbs!) and smaller dogs. I am aware of the body language of dogs and know when to intervene if there were an issue.

About: Since I was 12 years old I have been dog sitting at my home, dog walking, doing visits and assisting with South Charlotte Dog Rescue doing short term fosters. I have worked with dogs of all ages and have good experience with different needs and requirements. I am currently working part time and doing some fun projects. But I still have plenty of time for your pup. I am flexible on times and days just please communicate with me! I will provide safe, reliable dog walks and home visits while making sure your dog is happy and healthy. I will ensure pets have food, water, exercise, and attention, while keeping their environment calm and secure. I treat every pet and home with respect, patience, and care.

About: My passion is animals. I have owned animals my entire life, cats and dogs. I have two cats and a dog. I have volunteered at cat shelters and worked with dogs at the Humane Society. I am experienced in senior care and can give medications. I left my corporate job to build my own dog training business. I have worked at a doggy daycare in the past and have experience interpreting animal behaviors as well as breaking up dog scuffles. I am really flexible to take care of your animal(s). I can visit several times per day and even stay over if needed. Just ask! I am comfortable taking dogs for walks, bringing dogs to dog parks, caring for cats or dogs in your home, giving medications, picking up after the animals and giving lots of cuddles!

About: Hi! I’m a 19-year-old nursing student at Lipscomb University who genuinely loves animals and treats every pet like my own. Between having a cat and bunny myself and being the go-to pet sitter in my neighborhood, I’ve spent tons of time caring for pets of all personalities and energy levels. I’ve done overnight stays, walks, feeding schedules, playtime, cuddle sessions, and even handled the “I miss my owner” zoomies and anxiety. Whether your dog wants to play outside for hours or your cat just needs someone calm to hang out nearby, I’m happy to match their vibe. I’m responsible, patient, and will make sure your pets are loved on while you’re away! Pet care fits really naturally into my routine! I currently work part-time mostly evening shifts, which leaves me with flexible mornings, afternoons, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. Since I already care for my own pets daily, spending time with animals is already a big part of my routine and something I genuinely enjoy. I’m very organized with my schedule and make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, care, and consistency while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, and house rules closely so pets feel safe and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes, keep things clean, and make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and care. I also love sending photo updates so owners can feel relaxed knowing their pets are happy and doing well!

“Fallon, was great with the dogs, and was a pleasure to work with.”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and have experience caring for them through every stage, from puppies and kittens to senior pets needing extra attention and care. I’m comfortable meeting each animal’s individual needs, including administering medication to older dogs, sticking to feeding and exercise routines, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I have always been around animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I currently work a part-time job, which allows me to be flexible with my schedule and available for walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, and overnight care when needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I try to keep their normal routine so they feel comfortable and less stressed. I make sure they are fed, have fresh water, get exercise, attention, and plenty of care. I can also give medications if needed and follow any special instructions from the owner. I treat every pet like they are my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owner is away.

About: I’ve had a dog(s) since I was in a crib, they’re my life. I’ve volunteered at vets offices off and on for 3 years and I grew up working horses so I know quite a bit about first aid care! I’m the type of person who notices a dog before I notice a person. I think how people treat animals is a very important personality trait. I’ve always had a huge passion for animals since birth, and pet sitting helps me get my “puppy obsession” out without owning 50 dogs and cats. I’d love to help you feel like your babies are safe and cared for while you’re away! I have experience with animals of all sizes, and energy levels, as well as with behavioral or health issues. I am currently renovating my family home, so I set my own schedule. I am extremely flexible and willing to accommodate any scheduling needs to ensure the best care! I treat others homes as well or better than my own, and I like animals more than most people so I will give your fur babes genuine love and affection.

About: I currently have 12 dogs of all sizes, I love being around dogs and feel confident in my ability to handle any size or breed. I've worked around animals for over 6 years including at a dog grooming salon and animal hospital so I can bathe and brush any pup (or cat) who needs it as well as provide basic medical care needs. I am out of school for the summer so I have plenty of time to visit and love on all of your furry friends. If you are looking for a overnight sitter, please not I am working my student practicum and will be gone 7-9 hours a day Monday-Thursday, but otherwise I will be able to be home with your babies! I will only do drop in visits or overnight stays as I have so many animals it may be stressful for your pet to be at my house, however, during these visits I can feed, walk, play, groom, and snuggle your baby(ies) while I am there! I will also send pictures and videos if you would like.

“Came on time and my dog is happy. Sometimes when we leave her she gets nervous if there isn’t enough human interaction, but this is the second time using Chase and both times we’ve come home and she is a happy dog!”

About: I adore animals and their personalities. I have animals of my own! I have 4 dogs and 2 cats. 2 of my dogs are babies 8 months and 9 months old, 3 month old kitten. I’m up every morning walking feeding changing puppy pads as I’m in the process of potty training 2 puppies also in the process of litter box training my kitten. I try to stay on a routine especially for the animals, if that involves feeding medication exercise. My animals stay on a schedule every morning and every night.

About: Hi, Im Andrew! I’ve been taking care of pets my whole life with my family and we love them all dearly, sometimes... too much lol. We currently have two Golden doodles, a Pekingese, and 3 cats so we understand the attention and care each pet individually needs. I was born and raised in Orlando, Florida, played baseball for 17 years both Varsity Highschool and Travel ball and in 2019 moved up here to North Carolina for my dads retirement and to be close to his side of the family. I recently worked at Persmart for about a year and took care of many exotic pets on the daily! Whatever your needs are, pets are a breeze for me and you are more than welcome to message me your requests and we will work something out. Thank you! I always prioritize pets necessities and desires and have a job that allows me to work remotely while I take care of your pets at the same time! I also own a cat myself who I love and adore lol. I would take your pet for a walk daily to ensure their built up energy is being used as well as give them special play time! However many times your animal takes to use the bathroom I will ensure happens and accommodate any preferences they have and are needed. I love to lay and cuddle with animals so if that’s something your pet loves I’m all for it!

About: I have raised two puppies and have been a pet owner all my life! I live right next to a dog park and a lake and love to go on walks! I’m a recent graduate so don’t have any classes and can devote all time to loving and caring for your pet! My daily or weekly routine can be adjusted to fit the needed schedule of a given pet! I am a student with online only classes. I pay attention to details, am loving, nurturing, and flexible to cater to the needs of each pet. I have a low traffic living space making it easy for animals to keep low levels of stress and high levels of safety.

About: I love animals! I have worked with dogs for many years at dog shelters and watching my neighbors dogs when I was younger! I am a reliable, trustworthy, and a dog mom myself! My goal is to make your fur baby feel at home when away from home and provide the best care when you are away so you can be worry free, your fur baby will be in good hands with me! I work full time but have flexibility and off Fridays and can accommodate weekend travelers when you can’t travel with the furry babies! I am a very outdoors type of person and will take your dog with me on long walks to get energy out or we can cuddle on the couch if they prefer that too! My home is there home and they are allowed in all furniture🐶 We live in a house with a fenced in yard and I have a pet camera so if your pet is left alone for an hour or two they will be monitored through the camera! My dog will always be separate from yours when no one is home to ensure safety! I will always feed dogs separate as well!

I have many years of experience sitting for neighbors, friends, family, and other connections. Additionally, I have volunteer experience with shelters and rescues.

Our townhouse features a doggie door and fenced yard. Medication can be administered as needed, but please let us know all directions ahead of time. We like to get pictures of our own pups, so please expect pictures of your own unless otherwise requested. We look forward to meeting you and your fur-babies. Your pups are welcome on weekdays and weekends. I am working part time, but only on days when I don't have dogs staying with us. I have a townhome with a fenced yard and a doggie door. I am able to crate your dog if needed, but that is your preference. We also have a baby gate that keeps dogs downstairs with me during the day.
