Dog Walking in Fort Bragg

About: Puppies need time, patience, and most of all fun! Most of the time, puppies are stripped away from their families and are just looking for their pack. It is very important to create a safe environment and show love towards dogs. They are our protectors, and we are their caregivers I am retired. Although my husband is in the military, I do have free time most of the week. I am more than willing to be flexible and to also be a routine caregiver. For both dogs and cats, I do have two cats and one dog. I understand that while my pets are family, they are all individuals. I will take the time to learn each pet as an individual and not generalize their species.

“Rena takes great care of my dog! She gives timely updates and communication is great. I would recommend Rena to anyone looking for great pet care!”

About: I have taken dog training classes with my own Australian cattle dog mix. I have owned 4 dogs throughout child hood into adulthood. I will always put the well being of your pet above anything else going on and communicate effectively. I have a genuine love for animals which I believe makes for the best owners and babysitters (if I must say so myself). I am the type to homemake my dog treats and do toppers on my dogs food because animals deserve the best. I do not work currently but I am in college! I currently have classes that are 2 hours! I come home after both my classes to have lunch at home. Currently, I do have a fenced in yard about 4 feet high. I let my boy and girl out at least 8 times a day to go play outside. I will treat your dogs how I treat mine and i hope they all want to cuddle. I treat animals how I treat my children(okay, maybe I treat them better). My dogs will get on my couch and my bed when they wants and they love to go outside daily just to hang out. I will follow whatever your wishes are for your pet!

Even will help with potty training and bathes I have a crate if needed, my own fur friend is a 7 year old pit bull mix and is super loving and loves to play. She’s my best friend and beyond friendly with all dogs we go for long walks in the mornings and evenings at the state park near my home where she gets the chance to explore and experience wildlife and hiking first hand

About: I have taken care of lots of dogs in the past and used to groom dogs on the side. I just want to make sure all pets are happy and well taken care of! I’m currently working part-time, but my schedule is very flexible! I am usually free on the weekends and the afternoons after 4 in the afternoon. I have a fenced yard and I don’t have any pets at home. There is also a dog park not too far from me great for walks!

About: Iv lived and trained many dogs poppy my Dalmatian seen was just trained to be off leashed trained and recalled Iv had to other dogs before this that sadly have passed or I had to Rehome since joining the military. I’m in the military so I’m not close to my dog anymore I wanna help out other people who have pups cause I miss mine and wanna help people to be able to take there pups anywhere I take care of dogs like there my siblings they are very special to me an I know how much they mean to you so I will do everything to make sure your dog stays safe and is well cared for.

About: I’ve owned all variety of animals since I was little, from small animals like rabbits and guinea pigs to dogs and cats and even large animals like cattle! I am no stranger to taking care of pets, as I currently have 2 doggies, a bunny, and a snake too. I have years of experience caring for and training these babies in a home setting, but also plenty of handling and caring for them in a professional setting as well! I spent over a year working for a doggie daycare and boarding facility, handling all sizes and attitudes you can imagine. From friendly to feisty, small Chihuahuas to large Great Danes, and our facility also accepted cats and small pets as well. I learned how to handle different types of personalities and bond with all types of animals here, it was the most fun job I’ve ever had. I also learned how to watch body language in the daycare setting, and know when they aren’t too happy with my actions or another pets. After that, I worked at a vet office for about a year, where I learned how to handle and bond with anxious animals who may not be as excited to see me as I am them, and also basic medication administration skills. This job also taught me how to remain calm during emergencies as we accepted those types of calls, or even smaller injuries/issues, and what vet offices will be best to reach out to in what situation. To sum all that up, my experience has provided me with a lot of skills in handling all types of pets and their care situations, even aggressive ones as well. I now work a part time job that allows me to provide home visits and walks, which is why I’m looking to get started! I’m blessed with the time to pursue a second job doing something I love, which is being around and caring for animals. I work either really early opening shifts that have me done with work around 10AM, or “mid day” shifts that allow ample time for morning visits before I go in as well as plenty of stops after. I’ll be sure to communicate what my situation may be during the days requested, I want the owner, pet, and myself to get the most out of every booking possible :) When stopping by other’s homes to care for their pets, I make sure to give them plenty of time to potty or clean up any messes/litter boxes depending on the situation. That is so important when making visits while owners are away! I also make sure to spend plenty of time with the pet, I love being around them and as long as they are accepting of the company I don’t want them to feel alone while their owners are away. I’ll never overstay my welcome of course, but I’ll be sure to give lots of love before I go :). My own pets have a feeding schedule we follow, so I am no stranger to following one of those, or filling up free feeding bowls as well.

“Highly recommend Joseph and his family to watch your dogs. I needed someone to come to my home and walk both of my dogs six days a week, for the past four weeks. Extremely reliable, trustworthy, and my dogs loved him and his family. I received daily updates and pictures. I will definitely be using him for future boarding needs and services.”

“Meghan was an outstanding dog walker. She played with Steven my German shepherd and sometimes hung out even longer than she was required to. She even cleaned his ears and put medication in them for me because poor Steven suffers from frequent ear infections. Which I am certain wasn’t easy to do , Steven hates it when you touch his ears. She left detailed notes and you could tell genuinely cared for Steven. Highly recommend”

About: As long as I can remember I have been surronded by animals. From childhood to now I have worked in many animal environments including pet grooming facilities and even dog walking and boarding on my own. My experience doesn’t just stop there though. I have experience with dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, and amphibians! My husband is active duty and I am here to hold down the fort. With that being said, I have plenty of free time. My days are usually spent at home and the company of furry friends makes home much more lively. I believe that owning a pet is like having a child and we all have different wants and needs for our pets. I plan to follow guidelines that are set up for me to have the most success with your pets. This includes: feeding and feeding times, crating or free roaming, lots of activities or just lazy day. I want the best for both the pet and the pet parent.

About: I grew up with both a dog and a cat, so I’ve had plenty of experience taking care of pets. I know how to keep them fed, exercised, and safe. You can trust that your pet will be safe and well cared for with me!❤️ I currently work remote and don’t own any pets myself, so I have plenty of time and schedule flexibility to give your the attention they deserve🐕🐾 The pets I’m responsible for get plenty of attention, regular walks, and playtime based on their energy level. I follow their usual feeding and potty schedules to keep their routine consistent.

About: I've been caring for all types of animals since i was 12 years old. I've trained dogs such as German Shepherds and Pitbulls, and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I currently have the pleasure of loving 2 of my own special needs cats and a large tarantula. As well as this, my previous employment was a small pet care business in Georgia providing drop in visits for feeding, playtime and potty breaks, overnight sitting, walks, extended stays and taking care of exotic animals like birds. Throughout my life I've personally owned a snake, rabbit, hamsters, cats, dogs, spiders, moths and a bird! I'm looking forward to be an extra loving hand for your pets! I'm currently a full-time pet carer, caring for my special needs cats and others' lovely pets. I have plenty of time to care for your beloved fur babies and understand the ever-changing pace of life with pets, and am happy to accommodate. Any timeframe and any day, you can count on me to be reliable! Every pet parent is different and we all like specifics when it comes to the pets we love, so I always like to discuss with you about what you'd like done regarding crating, backyard time, car rides or park visits and waste disposal. I NEVER use punishment on any pet, and instead prefer a positive reinforcement only approach. I would like to be aware of your pets' allergies, triggers, injuries and fears so I can provide the best experience for them and for you!

About: Im Casey and I just moved back from Georgia. I work from home Sunday - Wednesday and I’m off Thursday, Friday and Saturday which allows me to stay home with the fur babies. I have experience with pups and cats, I currently have a cat, Addison/addicat, that I am turning the sunroom into a catio for. The sunroom faces the backyard and has all of the warm spots for window hammocks, cat trees, scratch posts, and everything else a cat could ever need and love. 🐾 I work from home during the week which gives me availability to care for your pets 24 hours without having to leave them alone while working. We have a fenced in yard that allows our pets to roam, run and play without being able to leave the yard and end up in places they should not be. Our backyard has been “puppy” proofed since getting Sophie.
