Dog Walkers in Cooleemee, NC

About: Hi my name is Mike, I have over 30 years of experience with animals. I own five dogs currently. I have had cats, birds, fish, bunnies, snakes, ferrets and iguanas. Heading out? I’ll keep tails wagging, wings flapping, and whiskers twitching! From pups and kittens to bunnies, birds, and reptiles—your beloved pets get all the care, cuddles, and playtime they deserve while you’re away. 🐶🐱🐰🦎🦜 What sets me apart? I don’t just “watch” pets—I bond with them. 🐾 Whether your pup needs help with potty training or your senior cat needs extra TLC, I’ve got the patience, experience, and big heart to meet them where they are. I’m confident with all kinds of animals—wiggly puppies, shy bunnies, talkative parrots, and even your bearded dragon with attitude. 💬🦎 From giving meds to managing routines, I treat each pet like they’re my own (spoiled and adored!). My goal? To make your pet feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away—so you can relax knowing they’re in good paws. 🐶🐱🐰🦜🐢 I work from home, I have a very flexible schedule. I’m available everyday. Late nights or early mornings are ok with me. I’m here to help. I care for your pets in their comfort zone—your home! 🏡🐾 I stick to their usual routines so everything feels familiar: same feeding schedule, favorite toys, walks on their route, and belly rubs in their go-to spot on the couch. I keep things clean, cozy, and calm—whether that means scooping litter boxes, watering plants, or giving meds with a treat and a smile. 💊🍖 Plus, I send updates (with adorable pics!) so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. Your pets stay happy, relaxed, and loved until you’re home again. ❤️🐶🐱🐰🦎

About: I’ve taken dog training courses over the years. I did dog rescue; I had sick dogs, litters of puppies and dogs of all sizes in my home while raising my children and my dogs. I've done house sitting, walking, training for dogs and cats for years when I lived in California. I'm excited to meet you and your pets. I am comfortable with but not limited too walking, training, medication administration and always the addition of cuddles and love. I work for myself and work my own hours so I can always work around your schedule. I love the outdoors, nature and getting my steps in. When your pet is in my house, they'll be treated as a family member. If you prefer to crate your pet I can do that or create my dog. Pet safety is top priority at all times.

“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 have multiple years of in house boarding, leashed walking, and boarding kennel experience. I love to run and am available to take the most active doggos of 5k jogs, guaranteed to get out all of that energy and have the best naps after. I've cared for toy to extra large breeds as well as puppies and senior pets. I have a rescue pittie named JoJo, so bully breeds are my favorite, but any day caring for an animal is a great day! I am self employed and live a nomad lifestyle. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate pets that need more attention and care. I also offer running with your pet, best for high energy doggos. Having your pet stay in their home while you are away is the best way to keep them happy and at ease. I attend to their routines just as you do and ensure you have plenty of updates of how they are.

About: I have been around dogs and cats my entire life. I am confident and comfortable with all ages and temperaments. Growing up, I cared for multiple pets at once (dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, etc.) I also spent time helping out on farms. Therefore, I am no stranger to routine, responsibility or muddy paws! What truly sets me apart is that my mom is a veterinarian, which gives me 24/7 access to expert guidance if an emergency or health question/concern arises. In addition, during my Marine Corps service, I have done dog sitting at the U.S. Embassy in Botswana, where dependability was key. I am currently pursuing my master's degree in cybersecurity. Therefore, I am currently dedicating my time to my studies, which affords me the freedom to care for your pets anytime. Pet safety is my top priority. Whether I am watching your pets in your home or caring for them in mine, I keep all harmful foods and household items out of reach. Additionally, we only use veterinarian-approved treats and toys (with a vet in the family, I don't guess when it comes to safety). Your pets will get plenty of supervised playtime and outdoor activity, along with a calm structured environment to help them feel more at home. I am very respectful in others' homes and will always follow your care instructions to the letter, including feeding, routines, and any special needs or quirks.

About: I've taken care of pets since I was 13. Most of my experience is with cats and dogs. I have limited experience with snakes. I'm not afraid of spiders or bugs. I'm currently working full-time as a legal assistant, so I'm usually only available during the evenings and weekends. I'm usually home from work at around 6 pm and am available until 9 pm during the week. Fridays and Saturdays are generally open unless I have prior obligations. I don't work on Sundays. I can only pet sit at a clients home due to having 2 cats of my own. I go by whatever rules/guidelines they specifically have for me.

About: I've been surrounded by dogs of every kind my entire life, I have had 2 dogs and 3 cats. I enjoy working with dogs because I am an outdoor person who likes to go for runs and walks. I have been relied on by my friends and neighbors to come and spend time, feed, and walk their pets. I am currently enrolled at Catawba College, getting my masters degree, while competing on the beach volleyball team. All my classes are online and practice ranges from 7-8am, 11am- 1pm, and 5-6pm, but vary through the week. I have a fenced-in backyard for my 2-year-old Lab and I make sure that we keep the bedroom doors closed so I can always keep my eye on them.

About: Something that sets me apart from other sitters is that I truly bond with animals and go out of my way to make sure they are comfortable. Not too long ago a hawk hit my car and I pulled over to pick it up and brought it to the NC Raptor Center; they were able to save it and released it a couple weeks later.

The rest of the week 4PM or later but can do morning/nights if needed for extended stays. Because I have so many animals myself, I only do walking/sitting in clients homes/neighborhoods. I don't like to disrupt my animals environment. The same goes for clients animals. I treat them with the same love, respect and attention just like I do with my own. I really am good with watching behavior changes and figuring out a solution! The animals comfort is top priority!
