Dog Walking Fuquay-Varina

“Lauren was wonderful with our dog Waylon. She was responsive, creative, and on time when arriving to take him on his morning walk. We hope to see her soon.”

About: Have owned my own dogs and cats over the years. As they've grown older and passed on, I have satisfied my love for animals by caring for my kids' pets when they go on vacation. I've gone to their house and stayed, but also they have stayed in my home while mom and dad are away. We go for walks, and I have a fenced in yard and doggy door them to come and go as they please. Like my grandkids: I love having them and playing, but I also love the flexibility of sending them back to mom and dad! I am a retired teacher and am home most days. I have various errands during the day, or other things, but nothing that would interfere with visiting guests. I no longer have a dog of my own but our visiting fur babies ( and the grands) have a fenced yard with doggy door. Dogs are secure inside the back yard. I care for one dog, that loves the back yard and wants to stay out all day, weather permitting. He is safe and secure there with water and shade, and comes in when he is ready. But most of the dogs come inside. They are free to go out to play and do their business.

“Rachel is great with My dog! He warmed up to her and enjoys going on walks with her. Very grateful to Rachel for being able to have some free time to walk my dog through my neighborhood when I have a long days.”

About: Hiya 👋 I am Kristyn and I love all things dogs! I currently have 2 of my own, Puck a 90lb hound mix and Hattie a 30lb pocket pittie who I love dearly. I spent a good chunk of my time volunteering at a local animal shelter in NY when I lived there and so I am well versed with working with all different dog personalities. I wound up adopting 2 from there, who have since passed, and had to work with them both on both stranger and dog issues. At my time at the shelter I did participate in dog training programs to help dogs get adopted and have used that within my own dog ownership with my own dogs. I went through the growing pains with my older boys so I am comfortable with seniors and have had plenty of time with puppies that I am also comfortable with them! When I first moved to NC I worked at an vet for about a year and a half as a kennel tech and vet assistant/helper. I was tasked with administering all meds to boarders and am more than comfortable doing so should your pup need!! I currently work from home 4 days a week but work right in Fuquay on the 1 day I am in the office. My son is currently in preschool 5 days a week and my daughter in daycare 2 days a week to which I am their school bus so just twice a day I have to take care of that. Otherwise more than able to walk between 9am and 3pm. But message me if times needed outside of that range and can definitely help out! I am available for in your home boarding/dog sitting as well as dog walking as needed. I prefer to keep your furbabies as much on your schedule as possible so a meet and greet is best to determine the best plan of action while out of town. Plenty of outside time or just relaxing inside as needed and time out of the crate if necessary! At this time I will not be offering in my home care but who knows it could be something I am able to do in the future!

“Thanks Lacey had a great time with you”

About: Hi there!! I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter who treats every animal like family. I’ve always loved being around dogs and pets of all kinds, and I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I focus on keeping your pet comfortable in their routine. I’m attentive to details like feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions you provide. I also make sure to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I’m happy to accommodate specific needs whether that’s extra playtime, medication, or just lots of cuddles. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! I work from home so I am home all day and can step away at any moment! I keep my calendar up to date so you’ll know exactly when I’m available (which is pretty much all the time)!! I love being outside and I know most of your pets do too! My apartment is kept cool and clean so they are more than welcome inside if they like it better than out!

“Kelly is incredibly patient and calm with our anxious rescue. I’m so grateful for the time she took to make him feel comfortable. Highly recommend!”

“Ella took amazing care of Muffin with so much love, attention, and responsibility. From the very beginning, it was clear how caring and dedicated she was. Muffin was happy, calm, and very well looked after the entire time. I highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her with Muffin again! 🧁🐶💛”

“Alicia is absolutely wonderful with our GG! She came up with a method to not have GG pull on her walks, and GG has made her her most favorite person. We highly recommend Alicia!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life—often caring for more than one at a time—so daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and recognizing behavior patterns are second nature to me. I also have experience caring for cats and small animals, and I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs and personality. I’m very detail-oriented and take the time to follow your pet’s routine closely, whether that’s specific feeding instructions, medication schedules, preferred walking routes, or favorite toys and habits. I understand that consistency is what helps pets feel safe and at ease, especially when their owners are away. You can expect thoughtful, reliable care and consistent updates so you always know how your pet is doing. As a teacher, I have expanded availability during the summer and can take on additional bookings during that time. Currently, I offer evening and weekend availability and do my best to accommodate schedules with advance notice. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a friendly, well-socialized dog in my home who gets along well with others; however, I always introduce pets gradually and will keep my dog separated or crated as needed until everyone is fully comfortable. Pets in my care receive regular leash walks, plenty of playtime, and mental stimulation to keep them happy and engaged. I follow all routines and instructions closely and am happy to accommodate any specific requests to make sure your pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for.

“Thanks for taking care of Giselle while I was away :)”

“Anna was awesome! She booked on short notice and communicated thoroughly the whole time. The dogs loved her, she went above and beyond for them!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both a senior dog and a high-energy Golden Retriever puppy. This has taught me how to balance gentle, patient care with active play, training support, and consistent routines to meet each dog’s unique needs. I work from home so I’ll be home with the pups all day long! I’m able to take them out as needed throughout the day and can feed them or provide any other individual care they may need! My home is pet-safe with an indoor gate for added security, and I provide regular, supervised potty breaks to ensure pets stay comfortable, safe, and well cared for.

About: My connection with fur babies runs deep. I have, often, felt more connected to animals than humans. I believe we all have had animals that we love but, usually, there is one animal that changes everything. You know the one I’m talking about….the one that the connection is (or was), somehow, different or deeper than the others. I call those animals Familiars. Maybe that resonates with you too. Either way, I fully grasp that trusting someone to take care of your fur baby is not just a big deal but, it is a privilege for someone to experience. I have thirteen years of experience taking care of different animals. This includes administering medications, providing senior/end-of-life care (I have a soft spot for the elderly), and learning to understand the language in which animals speak. I, also, have experience rescuing, fostering, and re-homing Australian Shepards. I believe in respect, safety, connection, and consent when it comes to animals. I believe that all animals come into this world to help heal us and I just want to be able to give back (in whatever way I can) a small piece of what they gift me, every day. It would be such an honor to help get to take care of, work WITH, and get to know your little (or big) ball of fur. As an Artist/Creator, my schedule is more flexible than most people. When planned in advance, I have ample time to make sure your fur babies are safe, happy, and healthy when you cannot be there! I ask a lot of questions so I can know and understand the specifics of what each animal needs. My primary goal is to make sure the interaction is safe, for both me and your fur baby. Then, it is my job to ensure your animal is comfortable, content, and they have a good time! I believe this can only happen by working with the owners (and then, with the fur babies).

About: I have been a pet sitter for years who specializes in dog care and training. I have a zoology degree from NCSU and 1.5 yrs experience as a kennel technician. During the school year I am a teacher so I am looking for income over the summer working remotely. Looking to supplement another part-time job. Currently I live in a townhouse with my dog 6 year old dog Mickey and 1 year old cat Guinness. Mickey is a 6yr old lab Dalmatian mix who is well trained and loves to play with other pups. I typically love setting up dog play dates and walks. Guinness is a spunky 1 year old black cat. Social, but does his own thing.

About: I have been caring for animals since I was 15, providing reliable pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family. I have experience with both dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, and providing attentive, loving care. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work full-time, but I am available after work on weekdays and throughout the weekends. I have a flexible schedule during those times and can provide consistent, attentive care to meet your pet’s needs. I genuinely enjoy helping pet owners, especially through drop-in visits while they are away on vacation or need an extra hand. I provide reliable, attentive care and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their own environment. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away.

In my home, I've created a pet-friendly environment with secure areas, regular cleaning, and opportunities for socialization, giving you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your pet is safe and loved.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life, I’ve also pet sit for many other friends and family members so I have a good amount of experience with staying and taking care of animals!! I’m home from college for the summer and will be home all of the time so my schedule is perfect for pet care and I can be very flexible. In my own home I would put my cats in a different room and let the animals roam around with me. Since I don’t have a fenced in backyard they would have to be leashed to go outside. I treat the pets like my own!!!

“Sabrina is so sweet! She communicated clearly, was flexible and wonderful with my dogs. I highly recommend and look forward to requesting her services in the future.”
