Dog Walking Durham

About: Hello! My name is Katerina. I have experience with small and large breeds. Growing up, our family had a Great Dane! In my single years, I cared for a beloved Jack Russel terrier from when she was an energetic pup until nearly 17. Currently, I live with my husband Seth and our two daughters, ages 11 and 13. Our little homestead includes a few chickens, a busy hive, and a cat whom we adopted five years ago. We are considering adopting a dog to keep our chickens safe from predators and to be a hiking companion in our travels. I am a full time homemaker and homeschooling parent. My schedule is very flexible. My days include educating my daughters ages 11 and 13 and running a small homestead of a few chickens, bees, and a cat. I love hiking at Ringing Rocks, Lake Nockamixon, and Delaware River canal towpath. Your dog would be a welcome companion on the hikes! If you have a senior dog, he will receive plenty of loving attention and companionship in our home. Our small homestead offers privacy and space for play and running. Your dog may enjoy cooling off in the creek that runs through the property. We live near Delaware canal towpath and Nockamixon state park. Both places offer excellent hiking and walking options for dogs!

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 7. I am currently trusted to watch over my families’ pets when I’m needed. I’ve always loved having fur babies by my side to care for and make happy. I have a part time job, school, and college classes to attend. I do have a handful of free time in between or on certain days. I’m free most Sundays and Fridays between 11:00-9. Mondays anytime between 2:30-9. Thursdays anytime between 1:30-9. In any clients home I would like to understand the boundaries of me being in the home. As well as and the boundaries of your animal! Both of which are helpful so all parties are comfortable and aware.

About: I’ve been fostering dogs since 2020 and loving them ever since I was born. I’ve experienced them all from 200lb Great Danes to 5lb chihuahua. I’m schedule is currently very open! So my hours are flexible to help out with you and your pet! Morning - Evenings I’m here to help! I can easily come and help let your dog out, take them for a walk, or to just let them play or keep them company and then safely get them back home.

About: Life long animal lover I've taken care of many different kinds of pets! I had a frog growing up, fish, cats, dogs, and I've helped pet sit numerous times for a friend for his goats, chickens, turtle, geese, turkeys, ducks, fish, pigs, and dogs (puppies, adult dogs and a senior dog with medications who needed extra tlc). I also work here and there at a local horse farm feeding and cleaning stalls as well as turning 45+ horses out to pasture. I'm used to handling strong pulling animals (I like to think being able to handle an antsy 1200+ lb animal prepares me for most anything haha), and my own strong pulling dog so I'm well versed to handling eager dogs on walks. I've been able to administer medications to senior dogs, my own dog needed 5 different medicines for a few weeks during heartworm treatment and my cat currently is transitioning to a prescription urinary diet so I know a few tricks to getting medicine to them as well as doling out special meals. I'm currently working 3-4 days during the week at my main job as a Dental Assistant, as well as working a few hours every Sunday AM at a yoga studio. I am also a part time college student studying Dental Hygiene as well as on my way to becoming an Expanded Functions Dental Assistant. Currently that looks like Monday/Wednesday AM I am in class from 9am-11am, Friday from 12pm-5pm and Saturday from 9am-4pm I am at my other class (which ends the first week of September 2026). I will try to update this as often as needed. I marked Fridays off for now but I can be flexible with scheduling around work and school as much as I can. I typically work Monday/Tuesday/Thursday at my main job but the hours vary as early as 7am to as late as 8pm. Sometimes I will get scheduled Wednesday when needed but it's not often. Any questions on availability or time feel free to message me! If you are flexible with schedules it helps out alot too! I also have my own pets at home which is why I currently don't offer overnights as he has separation anxiety if I'm not home at night. I will follow your every instruction and request for taking care of your pet in your home, I can crate you dog and handle letting them out, making sure they don't get off leash or out of your fenced in yard and make sure your cat doesn't slip out the doorway when I come in. I have some sneaky pets myself sometimes and I feel I've become a master at outsmarting even the sneakiest pet. I'll make sure your pets have plenty of fresh water, the right amount of food, nothing is left out for them to get into or chew up, and cleaned litterboxes! I believe in treating your pet like my own and providing the utmost care and respect for both them and your home.

“Murphy loves Kristie! I knew from the meet & greet that this would be a good fit. Since our needs are not regular we made a plan on how to handle keys which worked perfectly for us. Highly recommend Kristie!”

“Jason is a dog whisperer! My dog bonded and trusted him easily. It’s a gift. I can’t say enough positives about this provider. Reliable, trustworthy, etc.”

About: I’ve lived with and helped care for dogs since I can remember, and cats for the past decade now. I truly believe that our pets are a part of our family, and will bring that approach and belief with me into your homes. In the past 10 years I have helped raise 4 dogs and 4 cats, as well as caring for an elderly dog requiring special care. I hold a passion for animal safety and care, and believe that will show in my work. In our household I am an active participant in pet care. Typically I am involved in feeding both cats and dogs, taking dogs outside as needed, helping clean litter boxes as needed, etc; most often on a daily basis. In addition to the typical pet care information already provided, I take great care in providing a safe and fun environment for our pets. That includes playing with both the dogs and cats, taking our dogs on walks, etc. Overtime, our household has gotten to where we are now with 3 dogs and 4 cats total. I’ve come to learn and appreciate all of their individual quirks and personalities, and that only helps me care for them better. I look forward to meeting and getting to know your pets as well!

About: I have worked 2 week long dog sitting jobs before. I have owned pets my whole life, so I am comfortable with the process of taking care of them. I am an electrical engineering student home from college trying to pay off my loans. I am free all summer so please give me work!! I am friendly and have a lot of time to match any request your pet needs. From difficult animals to sweet ones I can watch them.

About: I have taken care of dogs for 7 years now, as well as taking care of my own. I watch family, friends, and neighbors dogs. I walk and play with them and give my dog baths. I am a college student so this is a perfect job for me! I have a lot of free time during the weekends and during the week I have a hour lunch break everyday and get done class at 2-2:30 most days, this is a perfect job for me. I am very observant and will keep the pets occupied. I can feed and crate them if necessary and make sure they get enough exercise during the time that I am with them.

“Jessenia has great communication while we are away, double checking feeding schedules and offering to add last minute walks if needed. She provides peace of mind!”

“Liz is FANTASTIC. Scheduling and communication were very easy. My dog is shy and fearful around new people, but he warmed up to Liz immediately. She knew exactly how to approach him and pick up on his cues and make him feel comfortable. Highly recommend.”

About: I've pet sat since 2014, I've taken good care of their pets for my family and friends.I have a wealth of knowledge of all breeds and love to spoil and play with dogs and cats. I'm looking to work as a full time as a dog walker or pet sitter. I have an open and flexible schedule to provide the best care. I have a questionnaire that helps me learn your pets needs so that I'm ready to step in and make vacations or work days easy on your pet(s).

“The best dog walker around. Megan was so patient with my Luna who needed some warming up to a new face and before you know they were off for their walk and she had an amazing time. Megan is very flexible and accommodating. She followed all of my instructions and kept me updated on Luna’s progress with pics and review cards. I would recommend Megan to care for your fur child any day and I look forward to utilizing her services again in the near future. Thank you Megan for taking such good care of our sweet girl.”

About: Need a summer or holiday break? Don't worry, I've got you covered. I love dogs, and dogs love me. I have been a proud pet owner for nearly 20 years, and have had the pleasure of caring for several dogs on this site - each with its own personality. I have a Westie, who loves playing with other dogs - big or small. I will be gentle but firm with your pet. Your dog will get a daily walk on the Delaware Canal, a nearby quiet country road, or for a treat, the dog park. I also have a fenced-in outdoor area where he or she can wander. I can play ball with your dog or tug-o-war. Your dog can wander freely in my house and can sleep where he or she feels comfortable. I do work 8 to 4 weekdays but have all federal and state holidays off. My uncle is here to supervise when I am at work. I have a fenced-in side yard for dogs to exercise and get fresh air. Pets will be monitored at all times to ensure their safety

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for a total of 5 years. I volunteered at an animal shelter to take care of cats, and worked for a few months taking care of dogs. I have also dog sat for friends when they went away and didn't have any issues. I have 2 dogs, one I got in January 2022 (chapo) and the other (pablo) in March 2022. Mr. Chapo was a rescue from the spca and we have had Mr. Pablo since he was 3 months old. Chapo is an American staffordshire and is 7.5 years old and pablo is 3.5 years old. I want everyone to be aware that I work full time and can be available in the mornings Sunday-Wednesday’s. I am free all day every other Wednesday. I am available all day Thursday-Saturday. I am more than happy to dog sit overnight/in the morning before i go to work. I will work with you so we can make sure your little one (or big one) is cared for! I am available on most weekends. Holidays may differ depending on my schedule. I let Chapo out when I get home and let him roam around outside because he just sleeps most of the day. When I am not home he is inside. Pablo is in his crate when I am at work. He likes going outside but not a huge fan. I will care for your pet however you would like since its your fur baby!

“We were very happy with the service from Nestle. We will definitely use her again.”

About: Hello! My name is Sarah and I have been a pet owner for my entire life, and I've always had a love for animals. Since launching my Rover business in 2022, I have boarded all different breeds of dog from dachshund to poodle, and cavalier spaniel to every color of lab. I have also boarded several cats and I've done house visits to cat sit. My dog clients don't have to worry about conflict with another dog because I only take one booking at a time. My cat clients will never have to worry about a dog being in the house at the same time I accept a cat booking. Taking one client at a time also enables me to provide top notch care, attention and lots of love (and playtime too!) I always allow dogs to eat their meals with the family in the kitchen and hang around the main part of the house. I also have a big yard I can let them run in, and a neighborhood for walks. For cat clients I have a setup in the finished basement (I call it the Kitty Club Room) with several litter boxes that I scoop daily and a couple of feeding areas. All of my furry friends are welcome to the main part of the house once they acclimate. Business hours: Pet Drop Off: 8am-2pm (any day) Pet Pick Up: 8am-6pm (any day) Thank you for considering me for your dog and cat sitting needs! I'm a stay at home mom (children are school aged and accustomed to animals), so I'm usually home, aside from running errands. I have plenty of time in my schedule to work in dog walks, playtime, scooping litter boxes feeding/kibble clean ups and attention. Large fenced yard with distance from neighbors - dogs are only allowed out on a leash or a long lead. Large finished basement for the cats plus open access (if they're feeling adventurous) to the rest of the house which is a 2800 square foot custom colonial.
