Dog Walking in Carrboro

“Alessandra is great dog walker. She understands my dog very well and takes the time to give him extra love and not just walk him. The updates are very thorough and she communicates so well with everything that’s going on. I’m really glad that I was able to find a really trustworthy and patient person like Alessandra.”

About: I've taken care of animals my whole life -- I grew up with 2-4 dogs in the house at any given time, and I've had my own cat Olive for 3 years now. I love to be around animals, and I'm excited to care for yours like they're mine while you're away! I'm prepared to meet your pet's needs where they're at, from providing multiple walks a day, or just being a calm presence in the room to ease loneliness. I'm working part-time at the moment, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet, especially in the afternoons and evenings. I am also more than happy to accommodate for multiple visits per day. Safety, conscientiousness, and cleanliness are at the center of my pet care ethos. I'm happy to take in mail/packages, water plants, or do any other necessary tasks while you are away as well!

“Bailey has been great to work with! She was so kind and responsive to our needs. She was observant and let us know about concerns she had when our pup wasn't feeling well. Your pet will be in good hands with Bailey!”

“Tab is so wonderful with my pittie mix, Abbie. She can be reactive on walks, but Tab does a great job of keeping her and others safe while they are out for walks in the woods! Abbie is always tired out and happy after a walk with Tab.”

“Lauren has been walking my two pups several times a week for the last few months. She’s flexible and communicative about scheduling. After a walk, she always provides a great detailed update that confirms just how observant and caring she is about each of the pups’ quirks and needs. I would absolutely recommend Lauren to anyone who wants to know their furry family members are in great hands, for visit, a walk or a trip!”

“Cassie agreed to walk Cooper on late notice. We were a bit worried because he can be difficult with people he doesn't know, but Cassied stopped by to meet him before we left and she is a natural. Very happy with Cassie!”

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child and have experience with pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up around animals taught me how to provide attentive care, including feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care and give pet parents peace of mind. I have experienced with administering medications, anxious, and reactive pets. Pet care has always been a natural part of my daily life. I enjoy spending time with animals and make time each day to feed, walk, play, and provide companionship. My schedule is flexible enough to accommodate pet visits and walks while maintaining a consistent routine, so pets receive the attention and care they need. I prioritize each pet's safety and comfort by carefully following the owner's instructions and maintaining their normal routine. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure, keep potentially harmful items out of reach, and closely monitor pets during walks and playtime. I also pay attention to each pet's behavior and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away.

“I feel great working with Kristen. She is really great with animals and is an effective communicator and takes initiative. I look forward to working with her again.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats as pets my entire life, including my current cat, Bandit! I worked in a veterinarian office throughout high school, assisting in the administration of medications and care of animals preparing for/recovering from surgical procedures. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters throughout college, as well as pet sitting for friends, and love caring for animals! I am a recent college graduate and do not start my full-time job until October, so I am highly available for the summer to help care for pets. I have a ton of walking trails near my house and am very happy to walk (or even run, for our high energy furbabies!) as much as your pet desires. My current cat is quite shy, so I am unable to host pets for stays at my house.

About: I’ve have 9 total pet rats, first starting when I was ~6 years old. I also have had 2 cats, 1 dog, 1 hamster, 1 hedgehog, and 3 hermit crabs. I am a 20 year old San Francisco State student majoring in Broadcasting here in Chapel Hill for the summer. I am pretty much available anytime during from June-September for pet sitting. I’ll do what you need me to do, feed, pet, walk, bathe, etc. I will keep your pet company and make sure they feel loved at all times and are well taken care of.

About: Growing up with cats and neighbors with dogs, I have always loved snuggling with pets! Today, I regularly help care for my boyfriend’s German shepherd, border collie, and geriatric beagle. I recently finished my job as a medical assistant and am free for the summer! I am available throughout the day and night, even on weekdays. I don't have any pets at home, but I have a great neighborhood for walks and a nearby park. After years of babysitting, I am used to taking care of both kids and pets in a family's home. I am happy to play, walk, feed, and cuddle with your pet in your home!

About: I've grown up around all kinds of animals, and have grown a soft spot specifically for dogs and cats. Over the years, I have pet sit for many friends and family, making me a reliable source. I'm a recent high school graduate who has a lot of time on her hands, and would love to spend that time getting to know your pets! Whenever I go to pet sit, I always bring a bag with yummy treats, and fun toys. I also always make sure that they feel safe and comfortable.

“Naomi was great to work with when she walked my STRONG and stubborn baby! She’s very sweet and I felt at ease that my girl was well taken care of.”

“Amanda is a fantastic dog walker and partner in helping to train our dogs. She worked to understand where we were at with training our dogs and helped to complement that with the time she spent walking and gave us great suggestions on improving our own training.”

About: I grew up in a home full of pets, so caring for dogs has always been a part of my daily life. I have years of hands-on experience walking dogs, providing playtime and companionship, and making sure they feel safe and loved. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve also dog-sat for friends and family, giving me experience with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always focus on making their time with me fun, comfortable, and stress-free. I am currently interning part-time in Manteo, so I am available on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings, and my schedule is open during all other days of the week. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. For walks and drop-in visits, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention while always prioritizing their safety. I’m careful with leashes, aware of their surroundings, and attentive to each dog’s energy level and needs. In a client’s home, I treat both the pets and the space with respect—keeping areas clean, refreshing food and water, and making sure pets are happy and relaxed before I leave. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for. Above all, I focus on patience, kindness, and treating every pet as if they were my own.

About: My family had several dogs over the years as I grew up, and I have since adopted my own. I often take care of coworkers’ dog(s) when they go out of town. I have looked after dogs of various weights/sizes and breeds. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pups! I enjoy getting outside, but am also content staying in - so I’m totally versatile to whatever your dog may need - running around or cuddles! I know how important my dog is to me, so I would see to it that I treat every dog like they are my own!

About: I am a 20-year veterinary technician dedicated to safe, stress-free pet care. I treat every pet like my own—with love, patience, and professional know-how At your service!

We also have 1 cat in the home, if your pet is not cat friendly no worries we will make the required arrangements!

“Kelly was great! I have a small breed terrier mix puppy with separation anxiety and that is still learning some leash training. I cannot walk as fast as Maddie needs and so it was great to have someone that can walk faster or run with her. The hand off went great as well. Maddie was comfortable going with Kelly and happy when she returned. I’m so thankful that she was able to get the walk in that I can’t give her Due to my disabilities. I would definitely use her again.”
