Dog Walking Forestville

“Krista was an absolute lifesaver for our family! We hired her to walk my mom’s dog after my mom injured herself in a fall. From our very first text exchange, Krista was incredibly warm, kind, and responsive. My mom absolutely loved her, and so did her dog, Millie. Krista was always on time, dependable, and wonderful with Millie. It gave our whole family such peace of mind knowing Millie was in such good hands. We are so grateful we found Krista and can’t wait to use her again. ❤️”

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets since I was a kid! I have 2 cats of my own and can’t wait to take care of your pets! Pet care is a never ending job!

“She was great with sending updates of my dog. She also picked up all my dogs toys and put them away for me so the house looked cleaner then I left it after a very long day.”

About: I’m an experienced and lifelong animal caregiver with a strong background in caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I grew up around dogs and have raised multiple pets from puppy and kitten stages through adulthood, giving me a solid understanding of animal behavior, socialization, and daily care needs. I have extensive hands-on experience with large-breed dogs, including my 150 lb Labrador, who I trained in obedience, leash manners, and routines through consistent, positive-based training methods. I also have a mini Dachshund, so I’m comfortable with small breeds, their unique personalities, and their care needs as well. In addition to dogs, I care for two one-eyed cats, which has built my experience with special-needs pets requiring extra patience, attentive care, and gentle handling. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter maintenance, medication assistance if needed, enrichment activities, and creating a calm, loving environment for cats of all temperaments — including shy or anxious pets. I prioritize safety, comfort, routine, and affection to make every pet feel secure and loved in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, enrichment, training reinforcement, or extra cuddles, I adapt to each pet’s personality and needs to ensure they feel at home while you’re away. Because I attend school part-time and complete most of my coursework from home, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m able to be home throughout the day, which means more consistent supervision, playtime, walks, and companionship for your pets — not just quick check-ins. My routine gives me the ability to accommodate morning, mid-day, and evening care, with availability for overnight stays, extended visits, and last-minute needs. I’m able to adjust my schoolwork around pet care, ensuring your pets receive reliable, steady attention and a calm, loving environment. My home is set up to provide a safe, calm, and welcoming space for the pets I care for. I have gated-off areas both inside and outside, which allows me to separate pets when needed for comfort, feeding, rest time, or safety. This setup is especially helpful for pets who prefer their own space, are shy, or need a slower introduction to others. I also have friendly pets in the home who are used to being around other animals, but introductions are always done carefully and based on what is best for your pet. Whether your pet enjoys social time with others or prefers a quiet, private space, I can accommodate their needs. Your pet will have a secure environment, plenty of supervised time, and a comfortable area where they can relax stress-free — just like home.

“My Mickey loved his walks with Sharon! She is obviously a dog lover. I'll be using her again in a couple of months when I'm out of town. It is such a relief to have someone reliable who my baby likes when I'm away.”

“​We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She watched our two dogs over a holiday weekend and took incredible care of them from start to finish. Family trips can be stressful when leaving pets behind, but we had total peace of mind the entire time. ​We received frequent updates, photos, and videos showing our dogs happy, relaxed, and well-loved. She accommodated their routines perfectly, made sure they got plenty of exercise, and gave them so much attention. We returned home to two happy, healthy, and tired pups! ​If you're looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and genuine dog lover, look no further. We will absolutely be booking with her again for our next trip!”

About: I grew up with a pair of golden retrievers and currently have two Puli and one Old English Sheepdog pup (he is big boy). I am patient, loving and affectionate towards all dogs. I will make your dog feel cared for while giving them the highest standard of care and attention. I work from home mostly and have the flexibility to spend time with dogs. Just like your pup, It's good for me to take breaks and get outside too. We will have a fence in the next few months and will have a beautiful backyard for dogs to run. We have a large home with lots of windows and light and would love to host other furry guests.

About: I’ve been around cats my whole life, but in my teenage years I started bonding more with dogs—and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’ve had several dogs over the years, and my current pup, Johnny, is wild, playful, and full of energy. His best friend is a Great Dane three times his size, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs of all breeds and sizes. Whether your dog is energetic, laid-back, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they get the attention, care, and fun they need. I have a flexible job that allows me to fit pet care into my day easily. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks throughout the week and can adjust to your pet’s routine. For drop-in visits and dog walks, I treat your pets like my own. I make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. During visits, I’ll follow any specific instructions for feeding, playtime, or medication, and ensure they’re safe and comfortable. When walking, I keep them on a secure leash and adjust the pace to match their energy level, whether it’s a leisurely stroll or an energetic run. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my priority every step of the way.

“Al and Laura are wonderful with our super anxious dog Pepper. They are sweet and patient with her, and she has warmed up to both of them quickly just being with them on their walks while we are at work. She gets to spend the long weekend with them and I am absolutely sure she will be in wonderful hands and will have a great time with them and their sweet pups!”

Lindsey A.

About: I have extensive, hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals—including dogs, cats, rodents, ferrets, and large livestock. I’ve worked with everything from small pets to high-drive working dogs and large animals like horses and goats. Professionally, I’ve worked as a dog behaviorist and trainer, managing playgroups, training dogs of all temperaments, and safely handling high-energy or reactive dogs. I’m confident in my ability to read body language, prevent issues before they happen, and create a calm, structured environment. I have experience training puppies, working with senior dogs, and administering medications. I’m very attentive to changes in behavior or health and know how to respond quickly if something seems off. I also currently work as an Equine Specialist, where I assist with horse care, training, and overall health, including exposure to veterinary care practices. What sets me apart is my ability to handle a wide variety of animals and situations with confidence, patience, and strong awareness of safety and behavior. My schedule is very flexible. I currently work part-time, which allows me to adjust my availability easily around pet care. I’m able to accommodate daytime, evening, and weekend needs, and I’m reliable for both consistent routines and last-minute bookings. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and specific needs to provide the best care possible. In my home, I offer a safe and structured environment with access to a yard, long lines for safe outdoor time, and nearby areas for both private and public walks, including lake and town settings. I use appropriate, safe equipment such as harnesses, gentle leaders, and martingale collars when needed to ensure control and comfort. In clients’ homes, I follow all instructions carefully and maintain your pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I’m experienced in handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I always prioritize calm, controlled, and positive interactions.

About: I was born an animal lover and have loved caring for them since I can remember. I’ve helped pet sit for many friends and family for years! Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and fish. I would LOVE to help more people with their sweet pets in the local Wake Forest area. I’m a stay at home mother and homeschooler to our daughter, and have lived in WF since 2020. I’m looking to help bring in some extra income to help our family. All animals deserve respect, kindness, love and dignity and I would be honored to help you care for your loved ones at home however I am able. Animals bring a wealth of joy to my heart! We have a 2 year old cat and a 15 year old chihuahua/terrier mix at home that I have had since she was 1 month old. She is now blind and in kidney failure, so I am experienced with caring for senior pups as well as puppies and all those in between. I know the stress that comes when planning to leave town and needing to plan for your pets to be taken care of and loved on. It’s stressful and can cause anxiety, especially for those that have special and more unique needs. I would love to help relieve some of that stress and anxiety for you if I can! I’m a stay-at-home homeschool mom to our daughter and have a flexible schedule. We live near downtown Wake Forest which enables me to easily pop over when I need to! I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats including our own cat and senior dog at home. I know what it takes to care for animals well and I am naturally wired to go beyond expectation when caring for animals. They bring me so much joy and comfort and I would count it a privilege to care for yours.
