Dog Walkers in Benson, NC

About: From Boxers to Great Danes to tiny Chihuahuas—I love them all! I'm especially fond of bully breeds, and I welcome all dogs with open arms, no matter their size or background. I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 11 years old and have experience caring for dogs with special needs, including dietary restrictions and regular medications. Every fur baby in my care is treated like family—loved, safe, and well taken care of. I’m also happy to help with baths if needed, and I own a Dremel, so nail trims are a possibility too! I worked as a professional dog bather for four years, so I have plenty of hands-on experience when it comes to grooming basics. While dogs are my specialty, I’ve also cared for cats and am comfortable with a variety of pets. My experience with reptiles is limited, but I’m always open to learning and expanding my care skills. I can’t wait to meet your pets and give them the love and attention they deserve! I am fairly open and pretty flexible with my schedule, I always strive to give the best care I can. Just let me know what I can do for you and your fur babies. It is never cookie cut. I will provide what ever service the customer requests and whatever I think is best for the animal care. From long walks and strict diets to naps and cheese doodles on the couch. No dog is the same so no care should be the same. If there is structure and routine I will stick to it.

“Nikki is great. She always sends cute pictures of my dogs and goes the extra mile to bring in a package or even water a few plants if they need it.”

About: I have grown up around dogs and cats my entire life! I have experience mainly with large dogs, especially huskies and German Shepard’s! We love going outside with our dogs and take them out regularly! If you book a day with me your pet will be my primary concern! I have an office job that I work from home, I can easily give your pet the attention it needs. I have a fenced in yard and a German Shepard dog that is very friendly. Plenty of toys and a large yard, your pet will not be bored. I can crate a dog too upon request.

“So far Kayla has done 3 walks with our dog. She has been flexible and accommodating with our schedule. Each time she sends some pictures and writes a note about her visit.”

About: I have always had a big heart for animals. I have had many of my own over the years! I have cared for my own animals as well as for family, friends and neighbors. I currently have a senior dog of my own and I do all that I can to make her comfortable, just as I would for anyone else’s pet! I currently work a full-time job from home but I would be available to do possible drop in or dog walks first thing in the morning, on my lunch if it is close enough to my home and evening times as well. I work a part-time job as well on some Saturdays but I would still be available for weekend services as well. Possibly would be interested in doing drop ins here at my home. I have two small dogs of my own one which is a senior now and another that will be one in August. I do not have a fenced in yard but have plenty of well maintained yard space in the back of my home for them to be let out for potty and play time. I do currently crate my youngest dog only when needed and I could do the same for someone else’s. My daughter ask that I dog sit her full size golden doodle on a weekly basis and they all get along very well with other dogs.

About: - 2 years of experience as a volunteer veterinary assistant - Bachelor's degree in animal and biomedical science with knowledge of basic anatomy and physiology - Experience in administering medications to include oral and shots Currently attending an online graduate school full-time so my schedule is very open and flexible. Fully capable of meeting the needs of your busy schedule! Love spending time with animals with the understanding that each one is unique and enjoys receiving love in their own way. Got plenty of cuddles for the lap dogs, energy for the walkers, and peaceful quite for the pets that just want you to watch and let them be.

About: I have had a love of dogs since I was little. Eight years ago, I convinced my family to get a puppy of our own! He is a six-pound schnauzer (yes, that is full grown!) that wants all of everyone's attention. Most of my family and friends have dogs, ranging in all sizes, that I am around constantly. I have dog sat for a couple in my neighborhood, who have three golden retrievers, on several occasions over the past five years. I have also dog sat a boxer and pit bull for coworkers of my parents. I have noticed that some of the bigger dogs I have taken care of like to jump up onto people when they get excited, this can scare individuals who aren't used to bigger pets. When I am around bigger dog that jump, I used motions and rewards to get them to stay on their four paws, turning this into a tendency takes times and exposer so it can be hard when I am with them for short periods of time but after a while, they can learn how they are supposed to act around people. I also have to occasionally give the dogs I watch their medicine. I know of several ways to hide pills so that an animal will take it, my dog however is not fooled by the disguises, so I know of a quick and easy way to feed him the pill. Through college I fostered three dogs through a local animal rescue, a 1-year-old pit mix, 3-month-old terrier mix, and a 2-year-old chihuahua mix. I kept these dogs for different lengths of time but was able to potty train and teach them basic commands. I am currently a full time Medical Assistant at an Urgent Care. I am available early mornings every day, later afternoons every day, and afternoon to evening on Thursdays! I am available most weekends. I typically take my dog for a mile to 2-mile walk when I get home from work, that way he can get out some energy and use the restroom. I always make sure he is taken outside with a leash and harness; I don't like attaching the leashes to collars to protect their throat and neck.
