About: I am certified in Pet CPR and First Aid through the American Health Training Association. Personalized Care, Special Needs Pet Care, and Experienced & Trustworthy I am retired and currently an Interfaith/Interspiritual Minister which provides me with a flexible schedule. I am available weekdays, most weekends and holidays for you. My services at this time will take place in your home. I will require an initial greeting to make sure your animal is comfortable and has a chance to get to know me in their own environment. I have worked with animals that have had anxiety and was able to work with them to gain their trust.

About: I’ve cared for animals for many years and truly treat every pet like family. I understand how important it is to feel at peace when someone else is caring for your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I offer dependable, attentive care with a calm and nurturing presence. I’m experienced with daily routines, feeding, walks, administering basic medications, and making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious pets and gentle with senior animals who need a little extra care and attention. I had my precious doggy (the yellow guy) for over 17 years and held him until his last breath. He was a larger breed and I didn’t expect him to live that long! I also brought my Persian kitty (almost quite literally) back to life after he was badly injured-likely a car accident. He was on a feeding tube for months and I cleaned and dressed his wounds, prepared his liquid food and kept him going when I was 8 years old. He eventually moved out with me to my first house and peacefully passed away on my bed ❤️‍🩹 As a mom, I bring a natural level of responsibility, awareness, and consistency into everything I do. You can trust that your pets—and your home—are in caring, capable hands. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can feel connected while you’re away 💛 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m intentional about being reliable and consistent. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs, whether that’s morning, midday, evening, or nighttime visits. I’m flexible and do my best to accommodate last-minute requests when I’m available. Your pet’s routine and comfort always come first. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, routines, medications, and any special care needs. I’m respectful of your home, keep things clean, and ensure doors, gates, and pets are always secure. I prioritize calm, attentive care so your pet feels safe and at ease while you’re away.

“Jen was excellent! She sent me pictures from the walk and was very communicative throughout the process. She’s very kind and I could tell my puppy loved her. I will be using her services again.”

About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes and personalities my whole life — from tiny pups to giant gentle giants. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with lots of love, attention, and care. Whether your pup is playful, shy, energetic, or laid-back, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. I’m a full-time teacher who’s home for the summer — which means your pup gets plenty of love, attention, and playtime! During the school year, we are both off on weekends, holidays, and several breaks throughout the year. I work very close by. So a quick potty break is easy to accommodate. My husband also works locally. So there’s usually someone home for extra belly rubs and company. We’re a dog-loving household ready to make your pup feel right at home! Safety is always my number one priority. I treat them like family — with lots of love and attention, and always with their well-being top of mind. At home, I have a friendly black lab mix who loves to play with new pals! She’s crate trained and well-socialized. You can trust that your furry friend will be safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way.

“Happy to see the dog returning happy & exhausted.”

“Luke was a fantastic dog walker. I had to hire him last minute because of an emergency and he was so flexible with all of the difficulties I threw his way. My dog had a great time with him and I loved all the pictures I got! I would truly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog walker that truly puts your dog’s happiness first.”

About: I have lived in homes with 5+ pets, caring for cats, dogs, and seniors. My soft, patient approach helps anxious pets feel safe and comfortable. Because I’m focused on studying right now, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be consistently available and provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. I prioritize frequent check-ins and staying in the same room when possible, ensuring pets feel secure, comfortable, and supported while keeping their routine consistent and stress-free.

“Alyssa is wonderful with my Trinity! She can be leash reactive which always makes me nervous for other people walking her, but I trust Alyssa!”

About: I’ve always had a dog for as long as I can remember. I currently have a senior dog, Violet, who I love very dearly. I worked for Waggers Pet Sitting for several years when I lived in Cary. I am now looking to add clients in the Clayton area. I take pet care and safety seriously, and I promise your dog will be in the best care while you’re away! I currently work part-time, so I have openings in my schedule to spend time with your pups. I have more flexibility Friday through Sunday. I want to make sure your pet is safe and comfortable. I am happy to crate your dog or make sure they are safely inside when I leave.

About: I have taken care of many types of dogs, doing everything from feeding to walking to giving medicine to my aunt’s senior dog. I have even worked with a sweet blind pupper too! I have an open schedule to care for your doggos during weekdays. I am also available weekend days too, if needed. Last minute needs I can accommodate too. I have 3 dogs of my own, a black lab, and two pittie mix babes. My husband’s cousin has entrusted us with the care of her pittie doggo while dealing with health issues. My aunt who lives across the street from me has me look after her two dogs when she travels out of town.

“Came and walked our dogs with same day request. Thank you!”

About: I love pets, and especially dogs! Puppy lover all the way. They are definitely the best friends a human could ever have. I can be flexible with my availability and I can be reached at any time. I'll be attentive to each dog and can assure you I may fall in love with your dog, therefore your dog will always be fed and happy while in my home. I love to play with all types of dogs, run and walk, I' be like an overprotective temporary big sister for them! I have a little furry sister know, a pom named Minnie Zoe, 7 years old and the little lady of the house. She is the one that gets the smiles every time we take her out and around. So your dogs will also have a little lady dog to play with and bark with. Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily routine because I truly love animals and spend most of my time at home caring for my own furry babies. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and loving care throughout the day. I enjoy creating a warm and comforting environment where pets feel safe, happy, and treated like family. I care for every pet with genuine love, kindness, and attention, treating them as if they were my own family. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including meals, walks, playtime, medications, and any special needs, so they feel happy, comfortable, and safe. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide a warm, clean, and caring environment filled with affection, patience, and companionship. I also love keeping pet parents updated with messages and photos, so they can feel reassured and at peace while away from their beloved pets.

About: I offer a reliable, dog-friendly home where your pup is treated like family. With a fully fenced yard for safe play, cozy dog cots or couch snuggles, and plenty of love to go around, your dog will feel right at home. I also have experience fostering puppies, so I’m comfortable with all ages, energy levels, and personalities! I am a teacher, so I’m currently on summer break with open availability. I am looking to help other dog owners out with their fur babies. We have a fenced in yard and dogs will be able to freely roam on the main floor of our house. Depending on your needs, the dog can either be crated or uncrated at night.

About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life. I treat them like family and have always been the go to for friends and family to pet sit and walk! I’m a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I figured we already go on daily walks, why not meet some pup friends! 🐾 I have the utmost respect for pups and their families. I know how much I care for my doggo and would treat yours the same 🤗

About: Between my significant other and I, we regularly care for 8 animals; 4 dogs & 4 cats who we absolutely adore. They may be little rascals sometimes, but they're our little rascals. My childhood was filled with animals, and several neighbors, family, and friends would put their trust into me to care for and give love to their pets on a daily basis. I have experience watching smaller rodents as well, and have no issue with a pet who may need extra help, whether that ranges from a unique health issue to simply aiding the owner in a diet process. This truly is what I love to do and I would love to meet your furbabies as well! When caring for a multitude of dogs & cats under the same roof, everyday comes with a morning and nightly routine to make sure everybody is safe and healthy. This tends to consist of feeding, using the bathroom, giving medication, cleaning litter boxes, walking, providing play, and the most important thing; mitigating the peace. Animals can be crazy creatures, and knowing how to do damage control is crucial when dealing with dogs & cats! Less common activities may involve bathing, cutting nails, transporting due to travel, etc. I see every moment that I am with your pet as a chance to connect and provide care. I have a great ability to multi-task and de-escalate if a conflict may occur between two animals and it is extremely easy for me to follow directions accordingly. I would consider myself a compassionate person and don't just want to care for your pets, but fulfill their every need!

“Working full time its hard to raise a new puppy! I needed some reliable help! Skipper came and did a meet/greet, could tell instantly that my puppy would be in good hands. He is retired and very flexible. I dont have to worry about my puppy when Iam at work”
