Dog Walking Emerald Isle

“Murphy LOVED Savannah. We are so happy that she can come again!!”

About: I love animals, especially dogs, more than words can express! We have always had small dogs in our family since I was born. I could never imagine living without a dog in my household. In fact I have always had my miniature schnauzers as my fur babies since my early 20’s. I also use my endless dog walks as another form of exercise especially with the awesome beach roads all over the island that we are fortunate to enjoy living on the island. Since I never had children I have extremely spoiled animals. Me and my husband are retired and I work a very part time job so have a lot of flexibility with my schedule. My husband may also like to join in with my walks as well to help keep your pooch entertained and continue with our daily exercise regimen. If your pet does not do well on long walks please mention that so we don’t wear them out too much! I would like to walk your dog on the beach or beach access if allowed. If you would rather we stay on the neighborhood streets that’s fine too! My house/pet sitting service will include feeding, playing, walking, cleaning up pet waste in yard or litter box and light housekeeping such as vacuuming up pet fur if applicable. I have a very flexible schedule. I do work a few days a week part time but only 4-5 hr shifts at a time. I would love to be your pet’s next best friend! I am an extremely anal retentive pet owner and home owner. I probably take better care of my pets than my own self! We do not miss any yearly vet appointments and are very attentive to any ailments that may come along. I always say the worst part of being a pet owner is when they have to cross the rainbow bridge.

About: Hi! I'm Lindsay, a lifelong dog lover and owner, and caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I've been pet sitting since college, both in my own home and in clients' homes. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I work hard to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you're away. From energetic puppies to laid-back senior dogs, I enjoy building trust with pets and providing the same level of care I would want for my own animals. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands. 🐾❤️ I'm currently on summer break from teaching, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I can provide consistent attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship to help keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away. I want every pet to feel comfortable and cared for while their family is away. I will follow your pet's regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, and playtime. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and supervision to help pets feel safe, relaxed, and happy.

“Very responsive and super friendly! Suzanne saved us while on vacation to walk our dog while we were exploring the area. Our dog was very grateful for the break out of the house. Would definitely use her again when we come back.”

About: I have always grown up with animals and my love for them led me to a job at a pet resort. I was a kennel technician for 4 years which provided me great insight to care for all types of furry friends. I just graduated college from UNC Charlotte and home in Emerald Isle for the summer. Most days I workout and hang with my family so my schedule is pretty flexible. I always try to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they’re used to because I know how stressful change can feel—especially for anxious pets. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive, and I make it my priority to provide comfort, consistency, and lots of love while they’re away from their parents.

“Rebekah was prompt on arrival and provided me with helpful feedback on Lila's performance and suggestions for future walks.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12! I also have 3 of my own fur babies! I enjoy meeting new pets and family’s! Pet care fits into my life perfectly. I have three of my own dogs that I help care for as well as a dog in my nanny family! I do well with putting dogs in their kennels, short walks and the occasional afternoon hang out! With my mini years of pet experience, I feel inclined to help every family!

“Amazing. Bohdan really helped our family out as we had a family member (who was our pet caregiver) fall the day before we had to leave town. He went above and beyond in so many ways! Thank you Bohdan and family.”

About: I worked at a pet boarding/daycare facility for three years. I’ve administered medication and handled dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I’m currently training for a triathlon and taking classes online, so my schedule is flexible and I have lots of energy to expend on play dates. I have experience handling dogs of all sizes, adapting to new environments, and recognizing signs of aggression before it happens, allowing me to keep your pup safe and happy.

“Communicative, responsive, and she took great care of my pup.”

“Emma was very prompt and friendly. She met up with me and my pup before the initial walk. Emma sent updates and pictures and put my mind at ease while at work. Will be using her again!”

About: I’ve cared to dogs since I was 12, beginning with family pets and expanding to neighbors and friends. I helped raise a littler of ten black lab puppies, ensuring they received proper nutrition and constant affection. I’ve cared for many breeds in a variety of settings, including watching and managing up to 5 black labs at once, taking them on structured walks, playing with there favorite toys and keeping their routines calm and consistent. My experience cover feeding schedules, baths, crate safety and off leash play. I am currently a student at coastal Carolina community college as a dental assisting student. Mondays and Thursday I get out of class at 11:40 and 12:50. Tuesdays I arrive at school @11 and leave @3:40, Wednesdays 8-2:40 and Fridays 10-2:40. On weekends I’m available and times after school. I have a back yard, not fenced in. Pets in my home are not treated bad, not screamed at or hit to be punished. They are always treated like my own, with cuddles, little snacks if allowed and plenty of play time. They would go on walks and be seen by other individuals for petting if the owner is comfortable.

About: With over 10 years of professional experience in dedicated inn-home pet care, we provide a safe, caring, loving and nurturing environment for your beloved companions. I am currently retired. I am available days, night and weekends to provide loving, caring and nurturing care to you special companion(s) in your home. I follow each pet’s normal feeding schedule, treat preferences, and daily routines to keep them happy and comfortable. I maintain consistent potty breaks, walks, and playtime.

About: Walks, runs and playtime fun! Here to help whether it's because your busy at work or leaving town. I have the flexibility to give your pets multiple bathroom breaks, walks, or what ever else is needed. Contact me even if you have questions! Plant watering and mail gathering for out of town trips included... Just let me know what your needs are and we can schedule times accordingly. Im available through out the day, 7 days a week. I prefer Havelock clients for in house sitter jobs. If you need a lot of check ins I would rather keep your fur baby at my house, to avoid charging more for gas. I care for pets in their homes based on the guidelines the owners set out. I will always check their food and water bowls, walk or play outside and bathroom break.

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life as a child, wildlife rehabilitator and as a wildlife biologist. For the last year and a half I have built a very nice reputation as a dependable and loving pet sitter. I have watched dogs, cats and birds! I have taken care of many senior dogs as well as a few puppies. Needless to say I’m not afraid of a pee pad or pill bottles! I work remotely and choose my hours, meaning, I can be with your animals at all time if need be. I do not mind staying with them 24/7 while you are away. It also means you can contact me any time that you need too. I live on a dead end road with very low traffic and have a very large yard. We will also go for nice walks down to the river where our road ends and a trail leads out to the river. My two main borders often do not want to leave or they want to come back home with me. It’s a great spot for dogs, whether they need to be leashed or not. If I am staying at your house I will always follow their normal routine. I really like for my clients to leave a note with food instructions, treat instructions, medicine, and daily routine. I also like to have a just incase number (neighbor or family member in the area) and the veterinarian. This is all just incase of an emergency and to make sure your pet stays safe and has the best time possible with me.

“Liz is super. She is reliable to come when scheduled. If there are any changes, she is flexible to our needs. Communication is great; she always provides a report and photos. Most importantly, she loves Baby and gives her the attention needed. If you are looking for an experienced person to love and walk your dog, look no further. We highly recommend her.”

About: I've been around and owned dogs all my life. My breed of choice is the German Shepherd, but I've had many different furry friends in my life. I also spent 7 years volunteering at Saving Grace in Raleigh - helping with rescue dogs. I'm retired, and I see this as a way to enjoy walking and being with dogs. All three of my shepherds were trained by me. One was off-leash trained. I'm just interested in walking dogs, but as I've stated, I'm highly trained to walk and care for any breed. Your pup will have fun walking with me!

“April is awesome. She was easy to communicate with and asked a lot of valid questions in order to provide our dogs with the best care. The dogs enjoyed her company and she gave us peace of mind while we were away.”
