Dog Walkers in Calabash, NC

“My dog loves Marie. He looks forward to her visits and is always happy to see her. We trust her to take excellent care of our dog too. It is so nice to know he is in good hands when we are away. She loves dogs and they know it!”

About: Experienced, compassionate pet care based in Sunset Beach. With nearly a decade of hands-on experience, I have cared for a wide range of animals including dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, small mammals (hamsters, guinea pigs, etc), and even farm animals. No pet is too big or too small—I genuinely love them all! I bring nearly a decade of hands-on pet care experience and currently work as a veterinary technician. I am experienced working with dogs of all sizes—from tiny puppies to 100+ lb adults and seniors—and I am comfortable administering medications and caring for pets with special medical needs. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pets are being treated with the same love and attention I give my own. What You Can Expect: - A knowledgeable, trustworthy sitter with veterinary experience - Personalized care tailored to your pet’s routine and needs - Dog walks & drop-in visits: photo/video updates, mail and package collection, and plant watering upon request - Pet & house sitting: mail/packages brought in, plants watered, and light household tasks if requested (additional fees may apply), ensuring you return to a happy pet and a well-kept home For the best experience, I prefer a meet-and-greet prior to bookings so I can meet you and your pets and learn their routine. This is required for pets that may be timid with strangers. Availability: I work full-time as a veterinary technician but am available Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with additional midday visits possible within 6–7 miles of my workplace during my lunch break. If you’re looking for experienced, dependable, and professional pet care, I would love to help. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! This is my only job at the moment, so I have a very flexible schedule to help you out with your babies, big or small! *NO AGGRESSIVE ANIMALS* I will not look after any animal who may bite, and/or has bitten in the past. That is for my own safety, as well as keeping the animal out of stressful situations. This is also why I HIGHLY suggest a meeting before the service begins; for the pet(s) to meet me, and see if it will be a good match for everyone involved. I do not have any breed restrictions! All breeds are welcome! (Snakes/reptiles do not count towards this policy; I can take care of snakes/reptiles, knowing the possibility of a bite. I have had 3 snakes of my own, as well as plenty of experience taking care of & handling them when working at pet stores for over 5 years.)

About: I have over 30 years experience taking care of dogs and will provide the love and care they need in their new "home away from home". I have a whole house generator so in case of storms, there will be no interruption in service. I am a very active individual and typically walk at least 3-5 miles per day with my little toy fox terrier. I am a nature lover and frequent the area's hiking trails and love to get out on the beach. I prepare my dog's meals using all natural ingredients (whole foods) and make a very healthy bone broth and organic barley. With parental permission I can use this as topper for your dog's kibble. I am a retired school teacher and am available year round. I am basically home all the time when I am not out on the nature trails. I would prefer sitting for dogs that weigh 30 pounds or less. Your fur baby will receive the love and attention it deserves from Caring Karen. I am a retired school teacher and when I am not out on the nature trails walking dogs, I am at home cooking or gardening. Your dog will receive lots of love and attention from Caring Karen. I have a fenced-in side yard and a gated back deck. My house is set back on a wooded lot with lots of shade. I live in a very quiet and safe neighborhood on a private road that is a dead-end. I know most of my neighbors and this is my forever home.

About: Animals have always been the biggest part of my life. I’ve owned and cared for pets for years, and I truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your animals with someone else. I’ve also pet sat for animals on and off, for over a decade. I've cared for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels, from playful pups to sensitive or senior pets who need a little extra patience. I’m calm, gentle, reliable, and very tuned in to animal behavior. Whether your pet needs a walk, feeding, playtime, medication support, litter care, or simply companionship while you’re away, I’ll care for them with the same love and attention I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work remotely and have daytime flexibility. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding routines, playtime, and companionship during select mornings, afternoons, and weekends. I’m intentional about keeping my schedule clear and reliable once a booking is confirmed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medication needs, litter care, playtime, and any house specific routines. I’m respectful of each home and make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of calm attention. I’m very mindful of safety, including secure doors, leashes, gates, and each pet’s comfort level with new people, other animals, and outdoor environments. I pay attention to body language and never force interaction. My goal is for pets to feel safe, cared for, and relaxed while their person is away.

“These two ROCK!!! They have been as accommodating as a possibly and are helping out with my brother who is home from the hospital and desperately needs some dog walking help! They have been amazing, are as nice as they can be.... I cannot recommend them enough!!!!!”

About: As a college soccer player, I’m active, dependable, and used to staying on a schedule. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats with different personalities and needs, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m attentive, patient, and will treat every pet like my own while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I’m already active, organized, and used to balancing responsibilities as a college athlete. I’m also working a part-time job, but still have plenty of time to spend with cats and dogs throughout the week. I enjoy walks, playtime, feeding, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I make sure pets stay comfortable by keeping them on their normal routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, keep everything clean, and make sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away.

About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs since about the age of 12. Growing up I would help look after my family, friends and neighbors animals when needed. I would help watch over the pets, feed them, take them on walks, and play with them for as long as needed! I am currently unemployed so I am available at any time of the day any day! I travel occasionally but that will always be communicated. The dog will always be my first priority! When taking dogs on walks I will make sure to always be aware of my surroundings. I will also make sure to not approach other animals to ensure the safety of both pets!

I have had rescues and made them a secure happy home. Would love to give your pet all the love and support the need. I am an empty nester and these dogs are my babies and I treat them as such!

About: I am semi-retired with lifelong experience caring for dogs. I provide attentive, loving care, including walks, feeding, companionship and medication when needed. I am extremely reliable. I work part-time (two days a week - two 4 hour shifts). Therefore, I am readily available throughout the week for various pet sitting needs. I plan to take care of the pets in their homes and will make sure that the pets feel very comfortable and loved during my stay.

About: I’ve been trusted to take care of others dogs and cats since I was 14 (walk, feed, bathe). I am open to any breed. I also work with both dogs and cats. I also have some experience with reptiles, as I have a bearded dragon of my own. I started Rover because I have 5 fur babies myself and I understand it can be stressful to leave your babies in the care of someone else, but I hope to make that worry free for you. I will love and care for your fur babies as if they were my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule so have plenty of time to play with your pups and kitties!

About: I have been around different breeds/mixed dogs and cats for most of my life. I always have enjoyed their unconditional love and companionship. I had the experience of assisting in the birth of our Chihuahua giving birth to 6 pups. At one point we had 5 dogs and a cat from breeds from a Italian Cane Corso to Chihuahua's. They have given me so much love and affection over the years. Not to mention caring for them in the end which is the most difficult. I'm currently retired and having recently relocated to the area. I would be a great fit to care for your pet while you are at work or away on vacation. My schedule is flexible and ready to be a pet giver to your fur baby. I will give them the upmost attention for all of their needs.

“Mikayla did a fantastic job taking care of our dog for 3 weeks while we visited the area. She walked & played with him and made him feel very comfortable during his time away from home. My husband and I highly recommend Mikayla!”
