Dog Walking Yorkshire

About: I’ve been caring for animals from a small child. Many people have called me the Animal Whisperer because the connection I have with animals and many experiences with animals in my lifetime. 

Our family of three children has owned many dogs and cats giving me experience with pets of different personalities, needs, and routines. I understand that every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care. 

Whether it’s going for a walk, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship. I’ll treat your pet with the same love, attention, and respect I’d give my own. I’m a retired IT professional with over 45 years of customer service experience, which gives me the flexibility to work around your pet’s schedule and not the other way around. I’m dependable, punctual, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. In my free time, I love pickleball, walking, hiking, biking, whitewater rafting, music DJ, and volunteering in my community. An active lifestyle makes me a great companion for energetic pets, while my calm, patient nature helps shy or senior pets feel comfortable. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with a caring companion, I’ll provide the attention, affection, and reliable care they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, medications (if needed), walks, litter box or yard cleanup, and playtime. I also understand that many pets simply enjoy companionship, so I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and reassurance while you’re away. I’ll treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. Throughout each visit or stay, I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Thank you so much, Jeff! It’s very comforting, knowing that the girls have someone who really cares about them to take care of them while we are away. I will definitely be in touch soon as we have another couple of short trips planned this summer.”

“Chandler gave me such peace of mind with my high energy pups! My one dog Chloe can be a lot and she was no issue for her. I will definitely be using her again!!!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve spent years caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, reptiles, and other small animals. I currently manage a busy homestead and rabbitry, giving me extensive hands-on experience with feeding schedules, medication administration, cleaning routines, and monitoring animal health and behavior. I have experience working with puppies, senior pets, and animals that require extra patience and attention. I am also actively involved in service dog training, which has strengthened my understanding of positive reinforcement, consistency, and animal behavior. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize safety, comfort, exercise, and plenty of love while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, cuddles, or specialized care, I am committed to providing dependable and compassionate service As a recent high school graduate with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. Animals are a daily part of my life through my dog, rabbitry, cats, chickens, and other pets. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship while making sure each pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with patience, kindness, and respect. Through owning and caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, and poultry, I have developed a strong understanding of animal behavior and daily care needs. I am also actively involved in training my service dog, which has taught me the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and safety. I follow all owner instructions carefully and provide regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is receiving the best possible care.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my professional experience working at a dog boarding facility for two years, where I cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments. This experience has given me the skills to handle various situations, from managing energetic pups to providing special attention for senior dogs. Additionally, I've been a dog owner since 2012, which has allowed me to develop a strong understanding of dog behavior, training, and the everyday care needed to keep a pet happy and healthy. I am dedicated to providing your pet with the best possible experience. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of extra time to care and love for your pet. I am free mornings and early afternoon as well as late nights. But I can be flexible. Whatever you and your pet need. Unfortunately, my childhood dog recently passed away but now I have extra space and time for your pets! I have all the necessary things to care for your pet as well as a crate for smaller dogs if needed. But every dog is different so the routine I had for my dog is different than the routine your pet is used to, so whatever your pet needs while you are away, I will be happy to provide that for you both.

“Bret was super friendly and even fit my dog in on the same day I requested!! My pup really appreciated the fresh air! Would have him walk my Louie again!”

About: I’m a mom of 3 kids and 4 fur babies. I would love to care for your pets and they would be treated like my own! I grew up with pets of all kinds and have always loved them! We currently have 2 cats, a dog and a bunny. I am patient and pay special attention to details. I enjoy connecting with and getting to know new pets and making them feel comfortable with me. I work part time so my schedule for pet care is very flexible! With advanced notice I can usually accommodate most requests. We can do a meet and greet and see if it’s a good fit for both of us. I can check in on your pup at your home, feed, water, play with and give potty breaks or I can take your pup for a walk.Your pets will be blessed under my care! Reach out with any questions!

“Sydney did a great job with Aspen.I know he can be a handful and I'm very satisfied with how he was taken care of. She adhered to our various requests and then some. She's highly recommend.”

“Diamond took great care of Biscuit and treated him like he was her own pet. She even spent extra time with Biscuit & cleaned up a mess he made when he was sick. Diamond was great and took plenty of pics while with Biscuit. I will continue to look to Diamond when needing someone to take care of Biscuit.”

“Kristena is this patient, flexible and knowledgeable. She has the same breed of dog that I have and she’s giving me great insight on bear. When Bear returns home from the walk, he is so tired that all he can do is lay on the floor, which I appreciate very much. Since our chronic migraines and other health issues, I really appreciate all that Kristena how interacts with Bear.”

About: I have 2 rescue dogs. 1 is a mini-schnauzer/poodle mix and the other is a chow chow who was born with Pulminary Stenosis, a grade 6 heart murmur and was born with no eyeballs. I’m currently available full time to take your babies on a walk, do a drop-in or for overnight visits! I’m open for jobs 7 days a week! I have two fur babies at home. I’m happy to sit in the comfort of your own home so that your babies are in their safe space and their routine isn’t disrupted.

“Excellent all across the board!!! I definitely recommend any to leave their dog in the care of Shakoya. She definitely went above and beyond!”

“We’ve had such a great experience with Sydney! Bruno can be shy and unsure around new people, but he warmed up right away, which is not easy for him. I always receive updates and details from each walk, which gives me peace of mind while I’m away. It’s clear she genuinely cares and pays attention to his needs. I’m so grateful to have found someone Bruno trusts!”

“Gonzalo is amazing! So kind, punctual and great at communicating - and importantly, great with my dog! She absolutely loved her walks with him and I always got the cutest pictures showing her happiness and fun. Thank you so much, Gonzalo!!”

About: I have hands-on experience with dogs at every stage of life, from training energetic puppies and reinforcing good habits, to providing patient, attentive care for senior dogs. I currently care for two dogs, a 7 year old labordoodle and a 3 year old golden doodle. I also have experience with senior dogs, which has given me a deep understanding of the extra compassion, attention, and adaptability older dogs need. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs—and I take the time to understand that. Whether it’s structured walks, consistent training reinforcement, or simply making sure your dog feels safe and loved while you’re away, I treat every dog like my own. I build my schedule around consistent time blocks each day, which allows me to provide reliable, attentive care while still being flexible for my clients’ needs. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or overnight stay, I make sure every dog gets dedicated, unrushed attention. I provide attentive, structured, and loving care whether pets are in my home or their own environment. My goal is always to keep their routine as consistent, safe, and stress-free as possible. In my home, dogs have access to a secure, fenced-in backyard where they can safely run and play. I regularly spend time outside with them playing fetch and letting them burn off energy, along with taking them on walks throughout the day. I currently have two dogs of my own, so any dog in my care benefits from social interaction, supervised play, and a comfortable, home-like environment. Inside, I make sure every dog has a calm, clean space to relax, with plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I follow each owner’s instructions closely when it comes to feeding schedules, crate routines, medications, and any specific needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. This includes walks, feeding, playtime, and reinforcing any training or habits they’re used to. I also make sure the home is respected and kept tidy, and I provide regular updates so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. Overall, I treat every pet like my own—making sure they are safe, exercised, mentally engaged, and genuinely cared for.

About: I've spent my entire life surrounded by pets, owning and caring for both cats and dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages! Whether you have an energetic puppy learning the ropes, a playful adult, or a sweet senior who just wants a quiet cuddle, I'll adapt my care to fit their exact personality and energy level. Beyond standard feeding and walking, I'm also experienced in managing pets with specific medical and behavioral needs. I'm completely comfortable administering medications (including oral meds, topical treatments, and strict schedules) and maintaining routines for anxious or high-needs animals. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities, and I will care for them just like they're my own! I run my own business from home, which means I have an incredibly flexible schedule! Throughout the week, I am around to provide frequent potty breaks, interactive playtime, and consistent companionship. Because I set my own hours, I can easily adapt my workday around your pet's specific walking, feeding, and medication schedules.The only exception to my routine is every other weekend, when I work from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM at a local marina in Lake Wylie. On those specific working weekends, I am still fully available for early morning and evening care, and I can easily plan drop-ins or walks around those hours. Outside of those alternating weekend shifts, my time is completely open to give your pets the dedicated, full-time attention they deserve! As a home-based business owner, I understand how important security, privacy, and peace of mind are. When I enter your home for walks or drop-in visits, I treat your property with the exact same respect, care, and vigilance that I give my own. I meticulously follow all entry and exit instructions: double-checking that doors and windows are locked tightly, security systems are armed properly, and keys are stored securely exactly where you specify. I ensure your space stays clean and tidy. I wipe down muddy paws after rainy walks, clean up any pet messes promptly, and always make sure water bowls are fresh before I leave. You will receive detailed updates and photo cards after every single visit. I'm fully transparent so you never have to wonder how your pet—or your home—is doing while you are away.

“Chloe did a great job with my golden retriever! She communicates well and sends great photos and updates! I would recommend her to help with your pets!”

About: My wife and I have had a dog in our house for over 20 years. We love all dogs and treat them as part of our family. I work from home and am able to be here throughout the day. We give frequent potty breaks and play time as needed. I like to throw the ball daily with my dog before dinner. I have a fenced yard and plenty of space for dogs to run around. We also have plenty of places to walk as needed to get exercise.

“thank you so much for taking care of my girls! Here’s a little early Christmas present to show my appreciation. Tom.”
