Dog Walking Bells Crossroads

About: I've been an animal lover for all of my life, and grew up with pets of all kinds. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all life stages, as well as other animals like guinea pigs, chickens, and more. I currently have a very flexible schedule so I am available to give my full attention to your pets for whatever they need, be that walks, play time, baths, or just lots of cuddles! I am available 6am- 10pm most days, and available on Wednesdays and Fridays 6am- 5pm. While caring for your pet, safety is my top priority, so I like to limit interactions with other animals that I am unfamiliar with how they interact, and keep the pets environment clean and safe. Additionally, I like to maintain your pets regular routine and stay attuned to their needs, weather it be feeding, brushing, exercise, companionship, or whatever else may arise, to keep your furry friend happy and your mind at ease while you are away.

About: I have two dogs that I walk and care for each day for 10 years. I have fostered dogs in the past of various ages and breeds from puppies to senior dogs. I am a recent UNCW graduate taking a semester off and a dad who is available during school hours. Happy and excited to play with and walk your dogs! I have two senior dogs that I care for everyday so I understand when a dog has specific needs and requirements. I read and follow instructions for each pet!

About: I have spent 3 years employed in pet boarding/doggy daycare, and have lived my entire life around pets. Growing up, i spent a lot of time at the humane society with a family member who worked there, learning all i could! I have had experience in administering medications, feeding, walking, and cleaning up after all sizes and kinds of animals (mostly dogs and cats). I’m currently a college student, and would love to make some money on the side doing what i love the most—caring for animals! I have pet sit multiple times in the past in between and after classes, and look forward to meeting your pet. After walking or playing, i can easily crate or feed your dog, whatever is needed! I love to spend time playing with dogs, and just spending time cuddling with them or petting them overall! I can easily do whatever is needed to keep your fur baby happy and safe!

About: I have worked in animal medicine for 20 years. My experience has given me a wealth of knowledge to dutifully watch over your furbabies. I want to minimize stress and maximize peaceful interactions. I will monitor food intake and bathroom output closely! I can trim nails, express anal glands, clean ears, brush out and bathe both cats and dogs. I can administer medications that are in pill form, liquid or injectable. I believe communication is key to success by reducing stress for owners and helps provide proper care. Happy to always send pictures, videos or FaceTime. I am also capable of caring for reptiles with proper instructions during a meet and greet. My mornings and afternoons during the week are open to pet care. Weekends too with varying times. I am flexible and communicative to meet both our needs. I believe keeping furbabies in their home environment lessons stress. I prioritize safety when outside of home by making sure pets are properly secured. I make sure home is safe when entering and leaving so that nothing can be chewed or ingested.

About: I've grown up with dogs in my family my entire life, from basset hounds to labs. I also take part in classes for a non-profit assistance dog training organization. I love all animals, espesically dogs and would love to meet your fur-baby!! I've done dog sitting both in my hometown and in Wilmington ever since college. I'm reliable and you won’t have to worry about your baby when I’m around :) Anything from taking your dog to a dog park, a walk up the road, some quality time hanging out on the couch (a fav for my basset hound), or just taking out to potty! I love spending time with dogs and exercising is always more fun when you have a four-legged running buddy. Excited to help in any way that I get to hang out with your dog. I work from home and have a super flexible schedule, so I could help last minute if needed or on an as needed basis sometimes. I have a fenced in back yard and a very mellow (but loud) basset hound. I love pup cuddles and all furniture is dog friendly.

About: Hi! I’m Ally, and I’ve always had such a big love for animals! I previously worked at Dogtopia, a dog daycare, where I spent my days caring for dogs of all different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I was responsible for supervising playgroups, making sure everyone was safe, and giving each dog the attention and care they needed. That experience taught me so much about working with different dogs and understanding their behaviors. I also had to take a course to know learn behaviors and when to read their responses, as well as when to know when they are all types of sick or injuries. I genuinely love spending time with animals and will always treat your pets like they’re my own! I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone, and I would love to be someone you can trust to keep them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! I’m currently a college student here in Wilmington and also play soccer! My schedule is pretty flexible outside of classes and practices i have morning practice that ends at 9 and then only one in person class on mondays. So I have time throughout the week and on weekends to care for your pets. I love spending time with animals and would be more than happy to work with you to find times that fit both of our schedules! I’ll always make sure your pets get the time, love, and attention they deserve! Your pet’s safety and happiness will always be my top priority! With my previous experience working at Dogtopia, I’ve learned how important it is to understand each dog’s personality and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll always respect your space and follow any routines or instructions you have for them. Whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I’ll make sure they’re well taken care of! I also love sending pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pets are happy and safe while you’re away!

“Cosette went above and beyond to take care of my pup and make sure that I knew how each walk went! She was responsive, kind, and my dog loved her! I will surely be re-booking her for dog walks any time I need help!!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. What started as overnight visits for family friends, quickly grew into referrals and neighbors trusting me with their furry loved ones. Over the past 15 years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily walks, administering medications, preparing special diets, and providing individualized care. Most importantly, I bring a fun, playful, and compassionate approach to every pet I meet. They deserve to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I grew up with 2 Labradors, and currently have a Labrador of my own. I also had 2 cats while I was in college.

About: I started my pet sitting business once I graduated high school in 2012. I did brief pet sitting while in high school and that’s what made me realize I wanted to have a career that involved being around animals. I’ve watched from the age of 8 weeks old puppies to 15 year old dogs. I’ve also watched cats, ducks, and peacocks. I do currently work full time as a receptionist but I plan on quitting that to make my pet sitting business a full time gig for me. I usually pet sit in the clients home due to me having to move back in with my parents. I either stay at their house or do visits. Whichever makes the clients more comfortable.

We try to do a minimum of 2.5 miles per day. I love to walk and hike and will take your furry friend along for as much as they can handle. I currently work a flexible work from home remote job, so I can work from your home while pet sitting, or drop in more frequently when they need extra care or attention during the day.

Wherever you and your pet feel most comfortable!

While not a certified dog trainer I do have experience with training puppies for small tricks such as sit, place, stay, down, etc. and would be happy to teach your fur baby as I take care of them. As a full time student I have a very open schedule with asynchronous classes that allow me to be there when your fur baby requires. I make sure to keep my pets on a regular schedule with grooming, food, vet visits and play sessions so they may have the best experiences as they grow and develope.
