Dog Walkers in Bixby, NC

“Mike is an amazing dog walker, so great with my anxious dog Emma! He’s so patient and kind with her, she now lets him rub her belly - a miracle! I appreciate how thoughtful and considerate he is, even making arrangements for a replacement when he’s on vacation. Really puts my mind at ease knowing I have him to rely on during the day!”

“Gabriel was fantastic. He was great with our dog and is a really nice and trustworthy guy. We will definitely be using him long term for our dog care needs!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs small and large since 2016 for family friends and neighbors. I have a real passion for animal care and my utmost priority is to make sure the well being of your pet is at an all time high. I’ve also gone through online training courses for dogs and cats detailing proper care techniques. I recently started looking for a job but I will update this when / if it changes! Friday mornings are my only recurring schedule block currently. I can tailor the visit to how best it is to fit your pet’s needs. On visits where a potty break is needed, they will be taken out and given treats and lots of love with some fresh water. On meal visits they will be given their meals and fresh water with lots of love as well. On overnight visits I follow the directions exactly and leave the place and the pet(s) looking and feeling better than when I arrived.

About: I am an absolute lover of all dogs! All breeds, sizes, backgrounds and personalities. They make me truly very happy and I want to do the same for them. I have 17 years experience caring for and walking dogs. I have had dogs my whole life.. I rescued my dog Lucy when she was a puppy. She was the sweetest dog and my best friend - my shadow. Please contact me for pet portrait inquiries. I work from home as a fine art painter so my schedule is very open and flexible. I have an SUV so I can bring your dog to the park and any of their favorite spots. There is nothing I wouldn't do for your dog! They will love their time with me and will always be given the very best care. I live in nature on the lake with a swimming pool and fenced in yard - a dog's paradise.

About: With over 25 years experience caring for pets of all sizes, I’m a passionate animal lover dedicated to providing a comfortable and fun environment for your furry family members while you are away. I have 2 dogs of my own and 1 cat and enjoy being around animals. I can’t wait to meet you and care for your furry family member. I have plenty of time to care for your pet as I have a flexible work schedule and would be able to work most days. I can easily come to your home and care for your furry family member. I can take them on walks or feed, water, and just play with them in the comfort of your home.

About: I’ve taken care of many pets throughout my life. Friends, family, neighbors, friends of family. I love every animal and always treat each pet as if they were my own. I’m currently available most weekdays and weekends. I have pretty open availability at the moment. Please feel free to reach out and we can discuss the time frames needed. I can do walks, bathroom breaks, day care, and night care. Also house sitting and some overnights. I am not able to keep any pets at my own home but do not mind staying with pets overnight at their homes.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, from hermit crabs to horses. The last 15 years I’ve gone from volunteering with animals to now rescuing and owning 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I’m a resident physician but I’m currently on a research year so my schedule is pretty flexible for home visits or walks- but also for boarding given that I have a very animal friendly environment in my own home. I have a three bedroom, split level house with a large backyard and access to a huge field on the other side of my yard for things like fetch and walks. I have 2 energized and social dogs in my own home who are very friendly, love cuddling and playing fetch. I also have 2 cats who do well around my dogs, one younger one that plays along with them and one older one who is still social but keeps more of a distance from play time.

“Megan does such a great job walking both of my pups. She makes sure they are completely cooled down before leaving. She is very attentive to my dogs needs and always takes care of them. Would highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a kid. I have watched neighbors' pets, friends and family always call me to help out. I love all animals and all animals love me. I currently am the operations manager at Godbey creek Canine Rescue in Mocksville. I have over 10 years experience with dog handling and will take excellent care of your fur babies. I enjoy getting out and being in the fresh air. I will take care of your fur babies just as I do my own. I will snuggle them if they are scared or have high anxiety. I'm able to give them the attention that they need.

About: I have cared for and raised dogs since i was 16. I can also train dogs in basic skills and tricks, consistency is the key. Currnetly have openings available. So i will be available to take runs with pups over the weekend, I can also do overnight sitting if neeeded for those long nights out on the town. I have high energy which is great for any dog that loves to get those "zoomies". Also, I love being outside, so don't worry about your pup being stuck inside all day.

About: Hi!! I’m Kimberly 😊 A little about me: I’m a mom of three boys 💙 (a newborn, a 2-year-old, and a 7-year-old), so life is definitely full in the best way. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and that’s something my kids have naturally picked up too. They absolutely love animals and have learned to be gentle, kind, and respectful from a young age. I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years now, both personally and for others, and it’s something I truly enjoy. I grew up in a home full of pets. At one point we had 26 birds, 24 guinea pigs, 2 cats, and 3 dogs, so being around animals has always just felt natural to me. My faith is a big part of who I am and how I treat others. It guides me to be patient, attentive, and genuinely caring, not just with people but with every pet I’m trusted with. I understand how much they mean to you, and I take that responsibility seriously. We live in Mocksville, NC, and I’m in the Clemmons and Winston area often, so I’m very flexible depending on your location and needs. My husband is a U.S. Navy veteran, so we have a deep appreciation for those who serve and a special place in our hearts for military families. At the end of the day, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is being cared for with attention, patience, and genuine love while you’re away. I’m currently a stay at home mom, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day. On weekdays, I do school drop off between 7:45am and 9:30am and need to be home again by 3pm for pick up. Outside of those times, I’m generally very open and able to accommodate visits and walks. If a drop-in or walk falls within those school hours, my kids may come along with me. They absolutely love animals and are always gentle, respectful, and happy to give your fur baby a little extra love and attention 😊 ⸻ Note: I’ve adjusted my 30 minute drop in and walking rate because I often find myself staying a little longer to make sure your pet truly gets the attention and care they need. In my opinion, 30 minutes can feel rushed, especially for pets who have been alone for a while. I never want your pet to feel hurried, so I do my best to include extra time whenever possible so they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved on. My rate is flexible depending on your pet’s needs, so please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m always happy to chat! I am very respectful of my home as well as others. I like to keep things clean and take pride in maintaining a well-kept space. I’m not one to pry, and I’m very self-aware, always making sure I’m being respectful of your home. I will treat your home the same way I would want my own to be treated. I’m great with following directions and instructions, and when it comes to your pets, I take my time to make sure their needs are fully met. You can definitely expect a bunch of updates and pictures while your furry or feathered babies are in my care.

STARTING MAY30th for all your SUMMER care needs; I am available everyday and am flexible with times! I am a school teacher and can spend this interim time getting to know you and your needs prior to to your departure for vacations, outings, work trips or get-aways! One summer weekend is my vacation; dates are July 25-27th, unable to provide services.; it is a Saturday, Sunday and a Monday. Safety: Dog-My medium sized Westie (Sallie Mae) needs: Door shut immediately behind me (both glass door and hardwood door). She uses a harness/retractable leash for walks and a collar/retractable leash for short walk around house for fresh air/bathroom break. I am mindful always of any visible items on the floor that may have been dropped and could be of hazard! I also vacuum daily to reach areas under the bed for this reason also. I check that her pet stairs to my bed are placed accordingly to get accessibility to the bed. Food and water are always checked twice daily and located in 2 different parts of the house. Cat- My cat (Baby Muffin) does not try to escape to the outdoors (yet.....), however; as a precaution I rarely open my sliding glass door open largely or for any longer than necessary. I am mindful always of any visible items on the floor that may have been dropped and could be of hazard! I also vacuum daily to reach areas under the bed for this reason also. Food and water are always checked twice daily and located in 2 different parts of the house. I am always aware of her visibility, for example, if she does not appear when I am home or prior to leaving my home; I check for any closed coset doors, cabinets, etc. for a place she may have accidentally been trapped. Trust: Dog-My Westie needs immediate attention and "lovins'" when I walk through the door. Prior to leaving her she is talked to a prepped for me leaving by telling her key statements and then leaving three varieties of chew bones in front of the refrigerator (which she waits for). Trust is provided through routine and consistency. For example, everyday a You Tube video plays a repeating jazz coffee house with ambiance. I also take the measure of saying her name with happy intentions prior to entering my home to ensure she knows it is me at the door. Trust is continuing to repeat the names of her toys daily with playtime and telling her what is happening prior to a walk, etc. or getting close to dinner, bedtime or a ride/walk. Cat-My cat gets talked to immediately when arriving home to ensure she knows just how loved she is! I call her name sweetly and she's petted. She is given cat treats in her special bowl twice a day. At my house, I try to provide trust through routine and consistency. I offer her many places to sleep by herself with her special blankets and provide toys rotated for stimulation (springs, play mice and of course a random paper bag!) Environment: Sallie Mae and Baby Muffin: I have a daily routine where they are give their special treats twice a day, keeping fresh food and water available and rotated, clean bedding for their special sleeping. Our daily routine includes that the TV is left on with YouTube coffee-house jazz ambience and I always provide calming statements of affirmation for them when leaving for the day and again when arriving home. Cat- In the morning, the litterbox is cleaned with scooper and fresh litter is added as needed. I then take that trash out so that litter is not a bad fragrance when returning home. Cat hairballs are discarded as needed and floor area cleaned. Dog- Twice a week I clean a Turf system and relace turfs with clean ones while the others are rinsed and dried. Monthly grooming for her is provided through a mobile service. However; I give Sallie Mae a bath anytime it is needed with special shampoo, tepid warm water with a shower sprayer and then immediately wash and dry her towels that were used.

“Thank you so so so much!!!”

About: Hi! I have always loved working with pets. I have owned pets since I was a child and I have dealt with both cats and dogs. I spent time working at a doggy daycare called Ruff Housing and I got to learn further how to take care of a variety of dog types with a variety of personalities. I look forward to getting to spend some time with your pets and giving them all the love when you can't be there! I currently work from home and get to create my own hours so I will have plenty of time to spend time with your pets or make sure I am able to walk them. I enjoy taking some time to go on walks during the day so I would love to include your pet on them! I have a fenced in yard as well as access to a dog park and walking trail. I have two fur babies that love to play and will keep your pup entertained. I can crate dogs as needed! I am willingly to work with any requests to ensure your fur baby has the best time away from home and is safe and cared for in your absence.

“Natalie is great with our pup! She brings her doggies to walk with our little pug (with permission of course) and it’s a big bonus to for her to meet new friends and socialize further. Very flexible, reliable and accommodating! Would definitely recommend Natalie to other pet parents without hesitation.”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs, and then when I went off to college I volunteered with a service dog training program because I love dogs so much. And finally after I graduated college and went off on my own, I got my own fur baby. I’ll give your fur baby all the love and attention they know and receive from you. We’ll soon become best friends and they will be in great hands! I work from home remotely on a hybrid schedule. I work from home 50% so I can give your pet the attention they need easily! I already take care of my own dog every day so I can take care of yours when needed. I have my own dog, a 25 pound cavapoo named Sirius. He’s friendly and loves making new dog friends. If I watch your pet in my home they can find comfort, toys and all the care they need! I live by myself in an apartment with multiple dog parks, and walking paths nearby. Also I can easily drive to your location to take care of your pet there.

About: I have had many dogs throughout my life that I personally helped care for and loved and I hope to be able to do the same for your pets I am currently a student. I have plenty of time to care for your sweet little ones! I am available every weekday starting at 11am I have a open yard that my dog loves to run around in and explore! I will not be watching any pets at my home but I’m happy to watch them in your home

About: My dogs health and happiness always came first. I would treat your pup the same. I have experience with different breeds, including puppies to adults. I am currently available throughout the week and I would be happy to care for your pup. Let me know how I can help while your away. I am very loving to dogs so that is how I would naturally be towards your friend. I do believe our pups need to know that they’re not always the boss but that they can be themselves and know they’re loved. They all have unique personalities which fun. Lastly, and most importantly, I would be respectful to what the owners rules are and follow those.
