Dog Walkers in Whetstone, SC

About: My family and I raised my first dog from a puppy. All the dogs (and cats) who followed were rescues. Most were seniors that we cared for till they passed away. I’ve also owned parakeets, and taught them to talk! Our current lifestyle makes it difficult to have pets of our own, and we miss them! If you’re looking for someone to love on your pup, kitty, or bird, I’d love to help out. I’m happy to feed your pets, walk your dogs, or stay with pets in your home while you’re away. As an owner of pets for many years, I enjoy their company; and, many times, pets are drawn to me.

“I had a great experience with Pamela. She's a dog whisperer, always on time, and loves being around dogs.”

“Magan was a big help with Lucy. Lucy can be stubborn about walking with anyone but her Mom and Dad, but Magan was able to coax her and complete her afternoon walks. We had never used Rover before but this was a positive experience and if needed, would use Magan again.”

“Jessi is such a lovely lady who makes my mind and heart at ease when my beloved MazeyJo is with her. Every time she walks my girl while I am at work, I receive the best smiley doggy photos, a wonderful Rover Card update and could not be more pleased with her services. When her profile says "Your pets new BFF", she isn't kidding. Thank you so much, Jessi.”

“Mikaela is fantastic. Very competent with Baxter; an APBT. I highly recommend her!”

About: I have taken care of all types of animals throughout my 28 years of life. I can use my experience to love and take care of your pet the way you would. I am currently working part time at Ingles but I'm very flexible and reliable. I just moved here so right now I don't have any clients. I cannot care for pets in my own home. although I would really like to I can't because I rent. If there is anything else I can help with please let me know.

About: Growing up in a small town, I’ve always taken care of dogs including my own, neighbors, friends, and families. I have grown up caring for all dogs, and loved them all as my own. All ages and breeds are welcome! I am a registered nurse and work 3 days a week, my partner works from home and is there most of the day. I always including nightly or morning walks on my work day routines. I have a big beautiful yard dogs can run and play in, we have dog balls/toys to throw. Walking trails right off the driveway which we enjoy morning or nightly!

About: I believe that I came into this world with a profound love for all animals. I grew up in rural, Southwest GA, and spent the majority of my childhood days playing with our many dogs and cats. My father was an avid outdoorsman who bred labs for hunting dogs, so I grew up constantly loving and tending to the pups! We also had many outdoor, 'barn' cats which occupied my time. Fast forward to present, I now have a five year old, female Golden Retriever (Josie) of my own and she is my most loyal companion. She is extremely loving, friendly, obedient, and will keep your pet very entertained during the stay! I also have a seven year old cat (Tuna) who is very affectionate, but also values her alone time. I would love the opportunity to watch your furry best friend. Enjoy your trip knowing that your pet is well taken care of and will be treated like a member of the family! Large yard/pasture + creek Tugalo River within 2 miles of home Avid hiker and adventurer Daily walks Whether in my home or in your home, your pet will always be treated with love! Whatever needs your pet has, you can guarantee they will be taken care of! :) I work in the legal field Monday - Friday; however, I can be available before and after work and on the weekends. Since I have 2 fur babies of my own, I am able to provide around-the-clock care. I live on 5 acres (pasture and creek) and have plenty of room for your pup to roam and explore! If needed, dogs can be taken out by leash!

About: I am a bunny lover- 3 of my own, and always have at least one foster. (I am the foster and adoption coordinator for Wildlife Rescue of Charlotte! Check us out and let me know if you’re interested in fostering or adopting!) Anywho, I came to love pet sitting/dog walking over the past couple of years- who wouldn’t??- as I started as a way to get my daily steps in while helping a family friend! I would love to do the same for your special fur baby! Win win all the way around 🥰 I can coordinate my schedule to fit your needs, let me know your needs and I will see what we can work out to suit them! I am available to come to your home to care for your pet, as needed. With fostering sweet bunnies, I will not be boarding other pets in my home for the near future 💛

About: I work from home which leaves me plenty of time to spend with your dog whether it be walking them on your lunch breaks or taking care of them in your home or mine I work from home so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet whether it be through daily walks or boarding. My job allows a lot of flexibility. I have a large fenced in yard. I have 4 sweet senior dogs of my own that can easily be created if need be. They are gentle though.

About: I’ve taken care of pets from weeks in age to 10+ years! I love your fur babies as if they are my own. I’m honest, reliable, and try to make pets as comfortable as possible when their owners are away! I also water gardens/plants and do other chores like getting mail. I work full time during the week, normally 8am-4pm. If it is close to my place of work I can come on my lunch break. I have two small dogs of my own and I so hate to leave them if I go out of town! I understand what it’s like to wonder if they are lonely, so I try to spend as much time with the pets as I can. Any pet that I take care of is well cuddled, well fed, and played out!

About: I have cared for dogs, and cats, of all kind since I was a child. I have always had them in my life, usually rescued. I was a foster mom for a Pug rescue out of Kansas City for several years, and cared for Pugs of all ages, and from various backgrounds including puppymills. I have a lot of experience with socializing dogs from abusive and neglectful situations, caring for dogs with health issues such as diabetes/blindness, and dogs needing various medications. I have rescued many dogs that have been abandoned, and found loving homes for them through home and vet checks. Caring for dogs and cats is my passion. I am currently a home maker with no children, so my schedule is very flexible. Plus, if your dog is boarded at my home, there would be no need to kennel them since I am usually home all day. If I provided care during the day for a pet in someone's home, I would be happy to follow any and all instructions, and provide at least 2 walks a day. I would also love to send daily updates with pictures so pet parents can see how happy and well cared for their pets are. If the pet is in my care at my home, there would be three walks a day. I am home all day so there would be no need to kennel them unless the owner requests it. I currently have an older Pug mix dog that is playful and good with other dogs.

“she did well with a scared new dog as a storm was blowing up soon.”

About: I have been a pet lover my entire life. I was raised in a home where we had Ferrets, Hamsters, a Pet Skunk, a Squirrel named Boomer, as well as Dogs and Cats ... I am very loving and warm to animals and think that animals are more than pets ..they are family members. I have always been a fur mom and would be honored to help you provide the care you would want for your fur baby. Your fur baby will be cuddled, scratched, played with, and loved as if they were my own in your absence. I service Transylvania County, Jackson County and Macon County including Lake Toxaway as well as the Highlands-Cashiers area. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I am prompt and dependable and will not disappoint you or your pet. Your pets health and well being is of upmost importance to me and I will care for them as if they were my own. I am available to house sit in your home while you are away so they may stay on their normal routine. I have outstanding reviews and can provide additional references as well if needed. I water plants, can care for “off season” homes and ensure your home is safe and secure while you are away.

About: I got my dog when I was 13 and she was the best thing that happened to me. She was the most loving and caring dog I ever met but lost her to a serious illness and I just love to give out my heart to animals and would love to spend some time with your animals. I am a stay at home mom and the moment. Son is five and in kindergarten and he loves animals just as much as I do but because I’m not completely over losing my dog I haven’t been able to get him a dog for himself. I’m home and have a dog park right now the road from me so keeping dogs a breeze. I always have an eye on the animals. Never feed food other then the kind given. Nothing in the rooms that they would stay in that could hurt them.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience with both puppies and senior dogs, as well as my background in training. I’ve raised a goldendoodle/poodle mix, Willa, from 8 weeks old, and she knows numerous tricks! I also have experience caring for an anxious senior chihuahua, Cassie, helping her become playful and trusting through patience and calm energy. I’m adaptable and can work with dogs of any energy level, from high-energy pups to more relaxed seniors, always tailoring care to their unique needs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine since I work online with a lot of flexibility. I can adjust my schedule to provide care whenever needed, whether it’s for short drop-in visits or long stays. Every pet is unique, so I make sure to listen carefully to each client's needs. I want to fully understand your pet’s routine, preferences, and any quirks they might have. That way, I can make sure they’re fed, exercised, and loved in the way that feels most familiar and comfortable to them. I’m very adaptable—whether your pet is shy, energetic, elderly, or somewhere in between. If your pet stays in my home, they’ll need to be okay with two playful (and sometimes rowdy!) female doodles. My parrots, Ziggi (a blue quaker) and Dusty (an African grey), are kept in the basement, and depending on your dog’s preferences, they can be kept away from or near them. I have crates for both of my dogs, so I can create a calm, quiet environment if needed. If that sounds like too much stimulation, I totally get it—in that case, I’d recommend housesitting or drop-in visits so I can create the most peaceful setting for your pet.

About: With over six years of hands-on experience in animal care, I bring a deep understanding of a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, ducks, chickens, and goats. What sets me apart is not just my experience, but the level of care, patience, and attentiveness I provide to every animal I work with. I’m confident handling pets of all ages and temperaments, and I have experience with both high-energy puppies and senior animals that need extra care and gentleness. I’m also comfortable managing feeding routines, administering basic medications, and recognizing early signs of illness or discomfort. Whether it’s helping a puppy learn positive behaviors or ensuring a senior pet is comfortable and happy, I tailor my approach to each animal’s unique needs. Animals aren’t just a job to me — they’re a passion. I treat every pet like my own, and I work hard to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for in my presence. I am available for drop ins and dog walks everyday but Sunday. I have a very flexible schedule and can work around your schedule as well. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priority is creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment tailored to each animal’s needs and routine. In my home, I make sure pets have a calm, clean space to relax, play, and feel secure. I follow their usual schedule as closely as possible—this includes feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions like medications or crate training. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. In a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the household rules. I keep things consistent by maintaining the pet’s feeding, potty, walk, and play schedules just as their owners do. I also provide updates and photos to help clients feel connected and reassured while they’re away. I treat every home with care and professionalism, and every animal like they’re part of my own family. My goal is always to keep pets happy, healthy, and comfortable—wherever they are.

About: I have two beloved dogs of my own that I have been caring for for six years. They are well loved and well behaved. I have also spent a few years in college volunteering at the local shelter. This makes me comfortable with all types of breeds and dogs of all sizes. I’m currently seeking this as a full time job so I have all the time in the world to dedicate to your fur babies. I plan to make myself as available as possible. In our home your animals will be sure to have a comfortable space to sleep and a large backyard to play in. We will keep them fed and clean and safe.

I wanted to start dog walking, training and pet sitting because of the love I've had with animals since I was young. I have a certificate for dog training from the FernDog Trainer Academy. To help animals that are less fortunate, I decided to volunteer with rescues and shelters. I have 5 furry babies of my own. Zaria, Saphira and Tilly are the cats. The two dogs are named Nya and Cami. I've worked in a holistic pet store where I became a manager and very educated on pet nutrition. I am very grateful for that job because it has given me the opportunity to enhance my pets lives. I was able to see how feeding higher quality food made a difference in my pets lives. I've also worked with two boarding and day care facilities, one of which I was also a manager. I occasionally went to there clients houses and walked their dogs. I know how to administer medication including shots. I have attended the Red Cross Pet First Aid course.  I have experience with all different types of personalities and sizes of dogs ranging from Great Danes to Chihuahuas. I'm excited that I can finally use my skills to help the things I love most…animals. I understand how hard it is to find quality care, and ensure your trust in others with your loved ones. I am also individually insured and bonded through Pet Sitters Associates. I know you will be completely satisfied. I hope to meet you and your furry loved ones! I'm currently working full-time as a pet sitter and dog walker. I will have plenty of time to give all the love and care to your pets. When your pets are in my care, I always take every precaution to be sure they are safe and happy. For your peace of mind, I am fully licensed, bonded, and insured.
