Dog Walkers in Cognac, NC

“Great communication ! Goes above and beyond when walking my puppy ! Would recommend”

Justin R.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve volunteered with shelters and own three of my own for the last 10 years. I’m currently working from home and hoping to get out of the house for a bit by doing drop in visits or dog walks. I’m available to board dogs as well so long as any furry guest gets along with the dogs already in the house. I’m comfortable administering medication so long as instructions are given. I’m certified in canine CPR. Im happy to cater to the needs of your dog and follow any instructions you provide. As im working from home, im available nearly all the time except for a few virtual meetings during the week. Our normal routine is a short walk in the morning, they hang out with me while I work, maybe a walk or a game at lunch, more work from home, then free in the evening for movie nights/parks/bite to eat somewhere dog friendly. I have a fenced yard with a doggy door to the back. I have also converted my office into a dog room with space for extra crate if that’s what is preferred. Animals are allowed on furniture at the owners discretion. I recognize all owners do things a bit differently and I know how worrisome it can be to leave them with a stranger so I want to put your mind at ease by conforming my care to how you prefer.

About: I have had animals all my life. Anything from a bird to a horse, I have taken care of. I do daily checklists for all of my animals plus my family's animals. We have a small farm located in Wadesboro. In our area, people like to drop off dogs specifically, so in the past, I have rehomed, taken care of & taken strays to the vet. I have taken part in multiple dog pregnancies of babies who have been dropped off on the side of the road, and puppies who were malnourished & needed attention. I have hands-on training experience with all three of my dogs, one was a stray, another from a shelter & the youngest came from the last litter of puppies that was put into my care. I currently work from home, every day when I wake up, inside animals get fed, watered & let out to potty. Then, I take care of the outside animals, which takes about an hour. After everyone is taken care of is when I start working & taking care of things personally. Chores, as we call them again happen around 6-7 p.m. I also have a few indoor animals who are taken on walks to use the bathroom almost hourly. I have watched friends & family's pets, as well as my own. I have three friendly dogs, they are all cat friendly & people friendly. I have crates indoors if an animal is preferred to be in a crate, I have three available litter boxes, scratching posts & toys for cats if needed, & I am home almost all the time so I am able to be as hands-on or off as needed for any fur baby.

“Somyr did a great job with my pups. One of my dogs will bark your head off and I was a little nervous. After a few treats she told me he was fine and that was amazing to hear and let me know he was comfortable with her. I received the cutest pictures and will be booking again!”

“Rex loved walking around with Bailey. She took great care of him. She was able to adjust well to his needs for his walks. I would absolutely recommend Bailey for those looking for a dog walker!”

About: I have had pets all my life. I have had dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters. Dogs are my favorite and I treat them as part of the family. I currently stay at home and homeschool my son. I have a very flexible schedule. In saying that, I am willing to work around your schedule. I have a large fenced in backyard that your dogs can run free in and have a great time. Or they have space to just lay in the sun, like most dogs enjoy doing at times :)

“She is very kind and reliable. Great communication.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and have been watching them for others since I was in elementary school. Experience with drop in and boarding. I work full time, but work from home and have a flexible schedule! I am able to block my calendar if I know at least one day in advance. I try my best to make sure pets needs are met. I try to limit time in the crate and make sure they’re getting all the playtime they need.

About: I’ve been a dog owner for around 5 years. I have trained my Mini Aussie by myself since he was a puppy. I have watched numerous of my friend's dogs over that period. I will meet you in person before services. I can provide services with or without my dog. Additionally, I will send pictures of your pet throughout my time with your baby. I currently walk or play long fetches with my dog every day. I am currently transitioning out of the military. If I am not at a medical appointment or out of town I am available to help! I will never do anything to your animal that you wouldn’t do or want me to do. Everything will be dictated by your rules. I know what works for my dog but that isn’t the case for all animals! My dog is spoiled rotten and I plan to do the same to yours! Dogs are always allowed on the couch and bed in this home. Treats are a must! I will gladly answer any additional questions!

About: Dogs and cats have been apart of my whole life! On top of being a loving owner, I’m a medical professional trained in emergent life saving procedures for your dog, trained by the military for military working dogs. I have a very flexible schedule, with my work only being a few miles from my residence! I don’t work a traditional 9-5, giving me more time for sitting! I have a single story house on an acre of land, with plenty of shade and room for playing! I live in a neighborhood perfect for walks or runs in a loop, not near a busy road.

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets for 5 years, my dog for 3, and pet-sat for 2 years consecutively! I’ve also had experience with giving medications and special foods! I’m currently a full-time student and work part time! I am available all day Sundays & Mondays, 10am-2pm weekdays, and occasionally nights (just message me!) I’m really flexible with my schedule! I have a pet (dog and cat) friendly black lab male (he is fixed) to keep your fur babies company! His name is Scout and he is 2 years old!

About: I have extensive pet care experience, I am a former Veterinary Technician and am quite comfortable caring for pets with sensitive medical needs. I am able to administer medications whether that be orally, aurally, ocularly or via injection either intravenously or intramuscularly. I also did quite of bit of volunteer work at the Humane Society and am familiar with working with pets that have separation anxiety or a lack of social skills with other animals.

About: I've grown up caring for multiple breeds of dogs and some cats. I have adopted an older Lab Mix from a kill shelter and he is the sweetest, calm and loving dog. Large dogs are my specialty but I love smaller dogs as well. Caring for them comes natural, on top of giving them plenty of space to run and exercise. I am comfortable giving any dogs medications as I have experience giving my own the same. If there is any specification you'd like for dog boarding, I am more than positive those needs can be met. Walking dogs is an everyday activity I do to keep them mobile and active as well as myself! I just enjoy any type of companionship that comes with caring for dogs! I’m currently working from home which helps allow us to provide full time care for our animals, as well as yours! We’re able to be outside and play anytime throughout the day. We have a large fenced in back yard with lots of room to roam and play outside. With cameras in the front and back yard that helps us keep a close eye on their movement to ensure safety.

About: I bring a wealth of experience to pet care. As a proud owner of three large dogs, I understand the unique needs of energetic and playful pups. From managing daily walks and feeding routines to providing plenty of love and attention, I’ve had years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes. In addition to my personal pet care experience, I have a background in healthcare, which gives me an added layer of attentiveness when it comes to your pet’s well-being. Whether it’s administering medications, monitoring for health concerns, or responding calmly to emergencies, I’m here to provide reliable and loving care for your furry family members. I’d love to meet your pets and ensure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away! Let me know if you’d like any adjustments. As a stay-at-home wife with a love for animals, I’m able to give my pets the best lives possible. My days start with feeding and walking them, and I make time for play, training, and grooming to keep them happy and healthy. In the afternoons, we relax together, and I keep up with their health through regular vet check-ups. Evenings are for another walk, dinner, and some quiet cuddle time before bed. Each week, I focus on deep cleaning and fun activities to keep them engaged. Staying home allows me to give them all the love, care, and attention they need to thrive. As a dedicated pet care provider, I offer flexible services to accommodate your pet’s needs, whether in my home or yours. Here’s how I ensure top-notch care in each setting: In-Home Pet Care (Your Home): • Personalized Attention: I adhere to your pet’s daily routines, including feeding, exercise, and playtime, to maintain their comfort and well-being. • Home Security: Regular visits provide companionship for your pet and enhance home security by maintaining a lived-in appearance. • Specialized Care: With my healthcare background, I’m proficient in administering medications and monitoring health indicators, ensuring your pet’s medical needs are met.

About: My husband and I have been fostering dogs since February 2023. Sadly (or happily, rather), several of those fosters became foster fails. We went from having 1 dog and 2 cats to 4 dogs and 4 cats…but we wouldn’t have it any other way :) Our 4 cats are all extremely friendly and loving. Charlie is 6, Harley is 3, and Sweet Potato and Clementine just turned 1. Every single one of our dogs is a rescue. Molly is 9 months, Banjo is 7 months, Mia is 10-12 years, and Georgie is 8-10 years. Molly & Banjo were rescued with Paws of the Pines Rescue based in Southern Pines, NC. Mia & Georgie are a sister duo that we found dumped in the woods, and are the best senior pups we’ve ever encountered. My husband and I care deeply for all animals and do this because we love it, not for the money. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you’re in need of care. We will do what we can to serve you! I (Megan) wake up at 4:30 daily to let the dogs out, walk them, and feed them breakfast. I leave for work at 6. Jacob then wakes up and cares for the dogs until he leaves for work at 7. The dogs are crated until we come home. After work they engage in another walk, training, puzzles, you name it, and are highly active until bedtime around 9. The cats have an automatic feeder and water fountain. They love lounging around in the living room if the dogs are calm. All 4 cats are friendly and curious. Harley hangs around outside most of the day and the orange brothers are in and out as they please. Charlie is mostly indoors with the occasional peek at the outside world. Pets that enter my home will remain in the main living area with the puppies. The cats in my home are free to roam through the whole house. Dogs will need to be crate trained and okay other pets. I will accommodate their meals according to the owners’ requests. We are an active family, so walks are common!

About: For in-home pet sitting, I respect the pets home and take their needs seriously. I find time spending with pets the most relaxing and will do everything I can to ensure your pet is as happy as he/she can be. When walking your pet I will ensure safety is met and he/she enjoys their walk experience. I am a dedicated type person and take pet care very seriously. I understand how precious a pet is and will do everything I can to meet your pets needs and how you feel your pets needs should be taken care of. I am very good with pets and caring for them. I am a daughter of a rancher and have had many pets in my life including: dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and more.

About: What truly sets me apart as a pet sitter is my proactive, personalized approach to care, combined with a genuine passion for every animal's well-being. While many sitters offer basic feeding and walks, I focus on creating a stress-free and enriching environment that caters to each pet's individual needs. I've been taking care of animals since I was 5 years old. It began with our dogs and has expanded to cats, birds, horses, goats, pigs, etc. as we my family purchased a farm. Hi. I am available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturday and Sundays. The times I am available are from 10AM-11:30AM and 1:30PM-6:30PM. Let me know what works for you. My experience with puppies allows me to seamlessly continue any ongoing house-training or basic obedience work, ensuring consistency during their critical developmental stage. I'm adept at positive reinforcement techniques, helping to reinforce good behaviors and prevent common puppy pitfalls like nipping or jumping. This means your new furry family member won't miss a beat in their learning while you're away. Furthermore, my dedication to senior pet care is a significant differentiator. I understand the unique requirements of older animals, from administering medications (excluding injections) to providing gentle exercise and recognizing subtle signs of discomfort. I'm patient and attentive, ensuring their comfort and maintaining their routine with the utmost sensitivity. I'm also comfortable with mobility assistance and can adapt to any specific health needs your senior pet may have. Beyond these specialized skills, I offer: Proactive Communication: You'll receive regular updates, photos, and videos, so you always feel connected to your pet and have complete peace of mind. I'm quick to communicate any concerns or observations. A Deep Understanding of Animal Behavior: My background has given me insight into reading pet body language, understanding their cues, and responding appropriately, which helps prevent issues and builds a stronger bond. Exceptional Reliability and Trustworthiness: I treat your home and your pets with the same respect and care I would my own, ensuring everything is secure and well-maintained. In essence, I don't just watch pets; I become a temporary, loving extension of your family, dedicated to their happiness, health, and continued well-being.

About: I have taken care of many pets since I was a little girl especially dogs. I am a dog owner and so is my family. when my family members leave on trips I take care of all the pets needs like walking feeding and spending quality time I am a mom so my hours are based around school. My hours are from 8:30am to 2:00 pm I feel that is adequate time to give your pets the extra needed attention, love, and exercise they require. Well tending to pets and clients home I make sure the dog will be leashed before heading out doors and making sure that all doors are secure before and after walks. If they are caged or crate I will make sure that they are properly secured.
