Dog Walking Cokesbury

About: Been watching dogs since I was in high school. My neighbors, friends and family rely on me to watch their dogs whenever they’re away on vacation anywhere from weekend trip to multiple weeks away. I’m currently working part time so, I have plenty of time to check in on your pups! Currently available Mondays, Wednesday, Fridays any time. On Saturdays anytime after 2pm Have a dog to keep your fur baby company! She’s an older dog but loves to play chase in the backyard. If needed can put pup in crate.

About: With extensive experience in pet care, I stand out with my compassionate and personalized approach, ensuring each pet's unique needs are met with love, attention, and specialized care. My expertise includes administering medication, and caring for seniors, providing owners with peace of mind while they're away. I'm trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about building strong bonds with pets and their families. As a part-time worker, I prioritize flexibility and reliability in my schedule. I have availability for regular visits, whether daily or weekly, and can accommodate varying schedules to fit your pet's needs. My typical day allows for morning or evening visits, and I'm happy to adjust to ensure your pet receives the care and attention they require. I understand the importance of consistency and routine for pets, and I'll work with you to create a customized schedule that suits your lifestyle. Whether it's a quick drop-in or an extended stay, I'm committed to providing top-notch care and giving you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your furry friend is in good hands. As a responsible pet sitter, I prioritize safety, trust, and environment. In your home, I'll respect your space, follow routines, and ensure secure surroundings. In my home, I've created a pet-friendly environment with secure areas, regular cleaning, and opportunities for socialization, giving you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your pet is safe and loved.

About: Have owned my own dogs and cats over the years. As they've grown older and passed on, I have satisfied my love for animals by caring for my kids' pets when they go on vacation. I've gone to their house and stayed, but also they have stayed in my home while mom and dad are away. We go for walks, and I have a fenced in yard and doggy door them to come and go as they please. Like my grandkids: I love having them and playing, but I also love the flexibility of sending them back to mom and dad! I am a retired teacher and am home most days. I have various errands during the day, or other things, but nothing that would interfere with visiting guests. I no longer have a dog of my own but our visiting fur babies ( and the grands) have a fenced yard with doggy door. Dogs are secure inside the back yard. I care for one dog, that loves the back yard and wants to stay out all day, weather permitting. He is safe and secure there with water and shade, and comes in when he is ready. But most of the dogs come inside. They are free to go out to play and do their business.

“Thanks for taking care of Giselle while I was away :)”

About: My experience ranges from raising entire litters of puppies to managing farms. I absolutely love doing this and it is one of my greatest joys! I have been pet-sitting and farm sitting for over 8 years. I have administered medications to various animals, including a feeding tube and IV. I have experience with all kinds of animals from bunnies to horses & cows :) I am flexible to take care of your pups, let them out and take them for walks! I sometimes have another job but usually it is just pet-sitting! I am careful to ensure the house is just like I found it and the pets are properly taken care of and given the love and care they deserve.

“Audrey is wonderful with my French bull dog. She’s very sweet and cares for her when I’m working. She’s very flexible with my crazy work schedule as a nurse.Would highly recommend her for anyone in need for care of their pet! ❤️”

About: I have owned over 25 pets in my life and I treat any animal like they’re my own. I am a huge animal lover, and I love any and all kinds. I have taught my dog and also my horse some tricks too. I can do afternoons and nights and on the weekends. I work a full time job but I want to be able to spend time with animals. I am a nanny so if I can handle a baby I sure can handle a fur baby a few days a week. I show affection to my cat 24/7 when I am home, she is very talkative and is always trying to get my attention to play.

“Lauren was great! She was communicative, on time, very sweet, and Panda took to her immediately. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her good hands. (And I am overprotective). She walked Panda and played with her, sending me pictures. I recommend Lauren!”

About: I have always loved taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. I have worked as a kennel technician at The Biscuit Garden for about 2 years, and have fallen in love with providing special care towards furry friends. There, I create safe play groups, feed, walk, play, and of course, clean! I will make sure to pay close attention to any special needs your pet may have. Accommodating to your dogs energy level, temperament, age, and health is very important to me. I will ensure to pay very close attention to any issues or concerns I may see while spending time with your pup. I believe maintaining a clean and tidy environment is important to an animals health. I will provide updates with messages and pictures about our time together. I look forward to hanging out and connecting with you and your pet! Now that it is summer, I have a ton more availability when I am not working. I work about 20 hours a week, mostly in the afternoons, so my mornings are typically more free. I have 2 dogs of my own, Luna (labradoodle), who I have trained since she was a puppy, and Lacy (French Bulldog), who I am currently training (she is 5 months old). Although I do not have professional training experience, I will say I put all my patience into providing simple tasks that can better your dogs skills. Whether if it’s during walks, crate time, or a simple sit and stay, I will provide my best efforts for your pup to succeed in these things. Along with training, I always make sure to spend quality time with my puppies because we are what’s most important to them. I believe playtime is very important to keeping a dog young and healthy! In any clients home, I make sure to spend as much quality time with the clients dog to build a strong connection.

About: I’ve had dog my entire life. If it was up to me we would adopt 100. Lol our dogs are all trained very well. We’ve gotten our dogs since puppies and have been trained since day one. I work part time and could work from home if i choose. So i will have plenty of time to spend and play with your pups. We have an acre fenced in. We have two pups who love sun bathing and playing in the yard. Both our dogs are crated at night. We can crate yours if that is what you would like. We love being around dogs so the more the merrier.

About: I work from home, which makes it easy for me to care for your pets and give them the attention they deserve. My work from home schedule also allows for me to have flexible availability for drop-ins and walks during the work day. I have one dog, Jippy, who is basically a goofy teddy bear. He spends a lot of time with other dogs and loves having fur friends around. I love animals and can promise yours will be in good hands with me. Feel free to send me a message with any questions! I currently work from home in a job that allows me flexibility. This allows me to provide care for your dog, whether in-home, or just a drop-in or walk. Whatever parameters are set for your pet will be followed. I have experience with dogs with many different personalities and needs and am happy to adapt as necessary to keep them comfortable.

“Samantha has been such a welcome addition to my puppies life. I work long hours and my boyfriend goes out of town frequently so find a flexible and kind dog walker was important to us. Samantha has been so great, she is very flexible and is dedicated to treating our dog well. She also gives a lot of great puppy advice and has been a huge help on getting our puppy to walk better.”

About: Hi there!! I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter who treats every animal like family. I’ve always loved being around dogs and pets of all kinds, and I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I focus on keeping your pet comfortable in their routine. I’m attentive to details like feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions you provide. I also make sure to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I’m happy to accommodate specific needs whether that’s extra playtime, medication, or just lots of cuddles. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! I work from home so I am home all day and can step away at any moment! I keep my calendar up to date so you’ll know exactly when I’m available (which is pretty much all the time)!! I love being outside and I know most of your pets do too! My apartment is kept cool and clean so they are more than welcome inside if they like it better than out!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was young. I’ve had many pets of my own growing up. I have experience watching my neighbors and families dogs over the years, drop in visits, house sitting etc. I am currently a Veterinary Assistant and I am going to school to become a Veterinary Technician. Working as a Veterinary Assistant i’ve come in contact with Cats/Dogs of all temperaments and sizes and I am confident in my abilities to care for any animal that comes my way. I am currently working as a Veterinary Assistant. I am off Thursday and on the weekends so that would be the time I am most available to look after your fur babies. I will always treat your animals and your home with respect. You should always treat others and their things how you would like to be treated and that is the moto I will live by when watching over your beloved pets.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life—often caring for more than one at a time—so daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and recognizing behavior patterns are second nature to me. I also have experience caring for cats and small animals, and I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs and personality. I’m very detail-oriented and take the time to follow your pet’s routine closely, whether that’s specific feeding instructions, medication schedules, preferred walking routes, or favorite toys and habits. I understand that consistency is what helps pets feel safe and at ease, especially when their owners are away. You can expect thoughtful, reliable care and consistent updates so you always know how your pet is doing. As a teacher, I have expanded availability during the summer and can take on additional bookings during that time. Currently, I offer evening and weekend availability and do my best to accommodate schedules with advance notice. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a friendly, well-socialized dog in my home who gets along well with others; however, I always introduce pets gradually and will keep my dog separated or crated as needed until everyone is fully comfortable. Pets in my care receive regular leash walks, plenty of playtime, and mental stimulation to keep them happy and engaged. I follow all routines and instructions closely and am happy to accommodate any specific requests to make sure your pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for.

About: I have grown up with both large and small dogs, as well as cats. Animals have always held a special place in my life, and I understand that our animals are a true member of the family and should be treated as such. I have rescued two dogs of my own; we have learned to roll over, lay down, and spin around. With my years of experience and interaction with animals, I can guarantee that your pet will be in the best care. I currently work on an “as needed” basis so I have a very open day-to-day schedule, leaving me with the availability to spend any amount of time with the sweet dogs/cats in my care. I typically spend the weekends at home with a good book, hiking or playing disc golf in my free time, all of which include my dogs by my side. My dogs are obsessed with the water, so we are often found fishing or swimming at the river or lake when the weather is ideal. I will be caring for my dogs or others animals some of the time so if house-sitting, I might have to come and go here and there but your animals will always be top priority during that time. I will communicate with you before booking what my schedule will look like. I take my pups to the local parks or hiking trails at least a few times a week for new smells and extra activity. I am willing/able to take your dogs to new places if you would like, depending on how well they do in the car. I always dedicate at least 1-2 hours a day to my dog’s physical activity, so your pups will definitely have the opportunity to exercise and release all that energy, followed by an evening of many cuddles and sleeping in the bed. (if allowed)

About: My connection with fur babies runs deep. I have, often, felt more connected to animals than humans. I believe we all have had animals that we love but, usually, there is one animal that changes everything. You know the one I’m talking about….the one that the connection is (or was), somehow, different or deeper than the others. I call those animals Familiars. Maybe that resonates with you too. Either way, I fully grasp that trusting someone to take care of your fur baby is not just a big deal but, it is a privilege for someone to experience. I have thirteen years of experience taking care of different animals. This includes administering medications, providing senior/end-of-life care (I have a soft spot for the elderly), and learning to understand the language in which animals speak. I, also, have experience rescuing, fostering, and re-homing Australian Shepards. I believe in respect, safety, connection, and consent when it comes to animals. I believe that all animals come into this world to help heal us and I just want to be able to give back (in whatever way I can) a small piece of what they gift me, every day. It would be such an honor to help get to take care of, work WITH, and get to know your little (or big) ball of fur. As an Artist/Creator, my schedule is more flexible than most people. When planned in advance, I have ample time to make sure your fur babies are safe, happy, and healthy when you cannot be there! I ask a lot of questions so I can know and understand the specifics of what each animal needs. My primary goal is to make sure the interaction is safe, for both me and your fur baby. Then, it is my job to ensure your animal is comfortable, content, and they have a good time! I believe this can only happen by working with the owners (and then, with the fur babies).

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have experience with dogs, cats, and small animals, and spent four years working as a Veterinary Assistant in Wilmington and Chapel Hill. I treat every pet as if they were my own, offering patience, safety, and lots of love. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and deeply loved while you’re away. I currently work from home running a small business. I do not work every day. I am flexible and available to help you out when needed. I have a Labrador Retriever and two senior, friendly domestic shorthair cats of my own. While you’re away, I care for your pets as if they were my own. I follow your instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and take time to understand each animal’s personality and needs. I like to keep a log for you on how they did and how things went for our time together. We have a nice sized home to accommodate your furry friend. Pets are allowed upstairs. We are happy to have your baby sleep on his or her bed in our room at night, or a crate if that’s what they are used to. Please supply your pet’s favorite bed or crate. Pets are allowed on the couch. We have a large, fenced back yard for those pups that like to sunbathe or sniff around during the day! I focus on calm, gentle care, plenty of affection (when welcomed), and making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive to behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I communicate regularly so you have peace of mind. I have experience with senior dogs and cats, puppies and kittens and special needs pets through vet time experience and personal experience.

“Kelsey is awesome! She made such a great first impression! I can tell she truly loves dogs. She took the time to love on my two doggos and sent pictures and gave an update on her time with them. We will be having Kelsey come back again! Thank you for letting us not have to worry when we are away from our fur babies, Kelsey!”
