Dog Walking Alert

About: I've taken care of my own pets and many of the pets of family, friends, and neighbors for over twenty years. I also have a service dog who I've trained mostly on my own, with refinement help from a professional, so you can feel confident that your fur family will receive exceptional care and attention from a patient and knowledgeable handler. I have an open and flexible schedule every day of the week, so it shouldn't be difficult to match what you need for your pet(s)! I have a 4yo poodle service dog who would only need to be with me for overnight stays or if your dog(s) would like a mid day playmate. He's incredibly sociable and energetic when off duty. Either together or solo, I will make sure to follow any routines or specific instructions we discuss and care for your fur family as if they were my own.

“Kayla was so nice to accommodate me last minute. She came right over and took my crazy puppy out for a walk and even went to the park so he could socialize with other dogs.”

About: Hi! I’m Emarie, and I'd love to meet you and your pet! I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable pet owner who knows how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, some extra playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply a little company while you’re away, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow detailed instructions for feeding, medications, walks, bedtime routines, or anything else that helps your pet feel at home. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you never have to wonder how your fur baby is doing. I am available most weekends and weekdays daytime early morning, lunch time and evenings after 5pm! I work on Six Forks in Raleigh, NC and am flexible in and out of office Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs so they can feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. In your home, I’ll respect your space and follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special routines. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings to help keep your pet safe.

“Marissa has been doing a great job with my dog! She’s so easy to communicate with and has really helped me out on days when I can’t walk my dog in the late morning or afternoon. She also takes him for a long walk and uploads good photos as well.”

About: I have been lucky enough to care for, look after, love, walk, feed, play with, and overall enjoy animals my whole life. I have always lived with dogs and I have been sitting for cats since I was a teenager. I’d be happy to lend a hand to make sure your furry family member is more comfortable and content while you’re away. I am very flexible with both my work and personal schedules, so I can typically fit requests into my day, no problem. Each day is different, of course, but I am happy to work with you to make care for your pet happen when you need it to. I pride myself on the high level of care and attention I give to my pets, and that level will be just as high for yours. All I need is clear instruction and info on your pet, and whatever you need to have happen will happen. I’m a private person, and I respect yours as well, so when I am in someone else’s home I apply a leave-no-trace policy.

“Ken took care of our dog for 2.5 days and appreciate his personalized and professional service. His also communicates very well about our dog which gave us peace of mind during our vacation.”

About: For as long as I could remember I’ve been my family’s go-to pet sitter. Anytime my Grandmother had a doctors appointment or my Aunt and Uncle left town, I would be their first choice. I love animals and caring for them, making them comfortable when their families are gone is not an easy task but easing their anxiety and keeping them comfortable is a very rewarding job. I’ve worked with rover in the past when I was in high school and it was a great experience. I am currently working part time but my schedule is relatively flexible. As far as boarding goes there is and will always be someone at the house caring for the dogs 24/7. I have a large plot of land adjacent to my house for the puppies to play in. I currently have three very friendly small dogs who love to play and make friends.

About: I’ve had animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve primarily cared for small and medium-sized dogs, but I’ve also had experience with larger dogs, including my roommate's two who were very cautious and selective about who they trusted. Somehow, they quickly decided I was one of their people! My family and friends also regularly trust me with their furry family members and often come to me for advice. I currently have a cat of my own who requires medication and has some behavioral quirks, so I’m comfortable with the extra patience, consistency, and attention that pets with special needs may require. I’ve always been the person animals seem to gravitate toward wherever I go. My mom has jokingly called me the “cat whisperer” for years, especially! I truly love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their humans are away. I am self-employed and make my own schedule - I am very flexible so I am able to work from virtually anywhere and at any time, so fitting in any set care is very easy! I always want to make sure I earn the trust, respect, and love of the pets by being gentle, caring, and loving and showing them they can trust me. This often looks like some extra cuddles, a treat, some play time during quick drop-ins etc! There's nothing better than earning a fur baby's trust :)

About: Hi there! I grew up surrounded by animals, so taking care of pets comes naturally to me. From dogs and cats to hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, and birds, I’ve had hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. Whether it's feeding, walking, or simply offering companionship, I understand the unique needs of each pet and always provide them with the love and attention they deserve. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and can ensure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Your pet will be in great hands with me, whether it's a relaxing cuddle session or an active playtime adventure! I’m excited to offer reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitting services. Let me help take the stress out of leaving your pet behind – they'll be in good hands! I work 9-6 M-F with an hour lunch break. I live in very close proximity to my job, so easy for me to drop in. I don’t have a yard, but my complex has a dog park. The neighborhood is full of pets and everyone’s friendly. I love going on walks so that’s something we will do. I love to play with animals. I don’t mind sleeping with animals, or them being on furniture. I do keep my home clean & sanitized.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 7 years old, growing up with both small and large breeds, so I understand how different their needs can be. I keep an active lifestyle with plenty of walks and playtime, but I’m also mindful of dogs who don’t do well in the heat, offering enrichment activities to keep them mentally stimulated and cool. My home is clean and completely smoke-free, so your pup will have a healthy, comfortable place to relax. Whether your dog needs an adventure buddy or a calm place to rest, I’ll tailor my care to fit them I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to give your dog attention and care, not just quick check-ins. I can take dogs on multiple walks a day, keep them company, administer any medication on schedule, and adjust to whatever routine your pup is used to. Since I’m around all day, your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches, and I can respond right away if they need anything In my own home, I have one dog, so your pet will get personal attention rather than being lost in a crowd. I keep counters, floors, and bathroom trash clear of anything edible, and my home is kept incredibly clean to make sure it’s a safe, healthy environment. It’s also a calm, non-smoking household, so your dog can relax without excess noise or stress. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat their safety and comfort as a top priority
