Rion M.	My commitment to animal care extends beyond professional settings, as I also have several pets of my own and have been working in shelters for years. This personal experience has honed my ability to manage the responsibilities that come with caring for animals, including regular exercise, dietary management, and recognizing the signs of emotional and physical distress. I understand that each dog has its own set of needs and preferences, and I am prepared to adapt my approach to meet these individual requirements, ensuring a happy and healthy pet at the end of every walk. I am not only a dog walker; I am a vigilant guardian who prioritizes the safety and happiness of the animals in my care.
Marie K.	My life began as a pet lover. A terrier was my first pet who was already a family member when I was born. Then at age 6 I got a kitten of my own named Tiger who allowed me to dress him in my doll clothes and walk him in my stroller. We got a border collie next who went to college with my older brother. As a young adult I lived with lots of roommates and their pets but my first pet of my own in adulthood was a rescued Beagle who loved to hike and he moved with me from CO to Oregon where after 13 years together he passed gently. My NC dog was a Blue Heeler who I got as a puppy but she was sooo high energy and really needed a buddy so she now lives on 26 acres with another heeler to chase. My next dog will be a small rescue who likes to go for walks and cuddle. When not pursuing animal company, I hike and bike with friends and I work part-time selling lighting and electrical supplies. I also enjoy reading and visiting sisters in NC and VA.
Amy H.	My name is Amy and I look forward to caring for your fur babies! I have been dog walking and pet sitting in the Lake Norman area since I moved here from Connecticut in 2017. Working in healthcare previously, I can't think of a better way to spend my days than with your precious pups (or kitties)! I grew up with cats, guinea pigs, fish and various other small animals. My Boston Terrier, Maximus was my constant companion and adventure buddy traveling to 26 states with me. In my spare time I love cooking, hiking, traveling and enjoying good food with family & friends.
