Dog Walkers in Gates, NC

About: I am a true animal lover. I have a level of empathy for pets that most people think is crazy. Your pet is part of your family and will be part of mine as well. I have a lot of love to give. I am more then happy to accept a million phone calls and texts because I know top care is important. I am patient and understanding and take the time to help with house breaking and learn new tricks. I use to breed Siberian huskies. That is one of the most energetic and mischevious breeds out there. I help with a local rescue in rehoming and donations. I am also actively involved with helping take strays to local vets and following up with owners. My family consists of me, my husband and our five children. There is always someone to give love and attention. We keep our own pets somewhat on a schedule and we play a lot in our back yard. I have a large fenced in yard and three very active dogs who enjoy to play. I also have 5 indoor cats. I can easily crate if needed.

“Nikolaas has been amazing with our two dogs. Both our boys are older (aka stubborn) and can have a lot of energy on a leash. Nikolaas’ energy calms them and he redirects them perfectly so they enjoy their walks stress free. They enjoy seeing Nikolaas when he arrives. They became instant friends. Nikolaas was very thorough in his interview with us and asked a lot of questions. We asked a lot of questions too and feel very happy we chose him as a walker and a friend to our dogs.”

About: I grew up with lots of animals and have plenty of experience. I have experience with senior animals. I have some experience in dog training as I trained my Labrador Retriever as a puppy in doggie obedience school. My Lab is now currently a senior doggie. We breed and raise pedigreed Mini Rex, and pedigreed Netherland Dwarf bunnies for showing and pets. My husband also has experience working with a vet some years ago, as well as experience in dog breeding. So I have even more experience as backup if need be. I homeschool a preteen and teenager. I'll be able to look after your pet so he or she will not have to stay crated all alone at home. Can provide frequent potty breaks for your pets. I like to get to know your pets typical routine so I can replicate that comfort for them 🙂

“Amanda has been amazing with our two beagles! So communicative and reliable! Highly recommend!”

About: Caring for and loving dogs has always been a passion of mine! I have a relaxed and jovial demeanor that they seem to gravitate to. I’ve owned 3 dogs so far of 3 separate weights, so I know how to cater to dogs of different sizes and personalities. I currently live in an apartment with lots of open spaces nearby for playing and walking. I always treat pets (dogs and cats too) in my care as I would my own, which is slightly spoiled but still disciplined. If you give me your trust, I will bring your pup or kitty happier and ready for more playtime! However, I do request that owners with dogs with behavioral issues notify me about them up front so I may work with them closer one-on-one. I'm currently working full-time in the Navy every 4 days, so I can watch pets on my off time. Four days a week on and off. I care for pets by learning their personalities, likes and dislikes, eating preferences, bathroom needs, what motivates them (toys, food, attention) and go from there.

“Armonee was fantastic! She was incredibly reliable and took such great care of my dog while I was away. It’s such a relief to find someone I can trust completely. Highly recommend her services!”

About: Hi, I am a licensed vet tech and work at an emergency animal hospital as an emergency vet tech. I have worked in the veterinary medicine field for 4 years now. I’ve owned dogs for as long as I can remember. I have raised puppies and said goodbye to them as seniors. I know how to give medications safely and correctly if needed. I know how to handle crazy puppies and couch potato seniors. I love all types of dogs equally and have a deep passion of working with them. I work full time at an urgent care animal hospital throughout the week but during the weekends I am completely free for all of your babies! I would not be able to have other animals at my house as I have elderly/grumpy animals. I am more than willing to stop by your house to care for animals!

About: For over 10 years, we've cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities — each one holding a special place in our heart. Whether it’s mealtime, playtime, bath time, potty training, or giving medications, We make sure every tail keeps wagging and every pup feels safe, loved, and at home. With a flexible work-from-home schedule, I’m here to give your dog plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I’m usually only out briefly in the mornings for school drop-off and in the evenings for kids’ sports — My husband is home during the evening time to keep your pup company. It’s a team effort to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved Our 1,650 sq. ft. home and fenced-in yard offer plenty of space for dogs to run, play, and relax. We’re happy to adapt our home to meet your dog’s unique needs during their stay, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved — just like part of the family. For added peace of mind, we have security cameras outside and cameras inside our home, so even if we’re away for a short time, we’re still keeping an eye on things to ensure everyone’s safety

About: What makes me different is the level of care, patience, and versatility I bring to every animal I look after. I’m not just here to cover the basics—I focus on making sure each animal feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. I’m experienced with a wide range of animals, from dogs and cats to large and farm animals like horses, goats, and chickens. This means I’m comfortable handling different routines, environments, and responsibilities with confidence. I also have a strong understanding of pets who need extra support, including seniors and those with anxiety. I take a calm, gentle approach, move at their pace, and prioritize building trust so they feel secure while you’re away. I pay close attention to small details—changes in behavior, appetite, or mood—so nothing gets overlooked. Combined with reliable communication and consistent updates, you can feel confident your animals are in capable, caring hands. Animals have been a constant part of my life, and caring for them is something I take seriously and genuinely enjoy. I provide reliable, attentive pet sitting for families who want their pets to feel safe, comfortable and loved while away. Whether it is daily walks, playtime, medication, or simply keeping them company, I focus on creating a calm, lovable and predictable routine that helps them feel secure. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, cats with all different personalities, small and large animals who need gentle, constant care. I pay close attention to behavior changes, eating habits, and comfort levels so you always know how your pet is doing. Communication matters a great deal, so I send updates, photos, and notes to keep you connected. My goal is simple, to treat your pet like they are my own and make those time away as stress-free as possible! I provide loving, reliable sitting, giving your pet a safe, calm, and comfortable place to stay while you’re away. I treat them as part of my own pets. Keeping routines consistent and their environment peaceful.

About: My first two pets were 2 doggies at 9 months old. I had them for 17 years until they left for doggy heaven October 2024 and February 2025… I am not ready to fully commit again quite yet so decided babysitting and loving on others’ furbabies will help the healing. Work from home all week. Will be able to take care of them in home and overnight if needed! I will accomodate to all requests and needs. Will appreciate details such as age, allergies, health, likes and dislikes. Will treat your baby/babies like they are my own. Will walk them as I have a dog friendly neighborhood as well as a newly built dog park. The backyard is also fenced.

About: As a stay at home and home school mom there is usually always someone home to love and play with our (your) animals. We have two daughters (17 & 15) and one son (10). *I’ve recently updated this profile to include the following: As an owner to two small dogs myself, I understand the worry and anxiety of leaving my small, fragile, pup, in the care of others who may have larger dogs coming and going where an accident can happen. I don’t like to take chances with one of my own, or one of yours getting hurt. Even by accident. I’ve recently updated my profile to only accept dogs up to a certain pound. This will help with my profile score, for the many dogs I’ve had to turn down. However, if you are a prior client, I will accept your larger dog (they’ve all been wonderful and fine because of my judgement at meet and greet) and in addition any future clients who have a small dog/big dog combo, I will consider a meet and greet to verify we would be a good fit and will make exceptions on a case by case. I will not be sitting for more than one family at a time. I’d like to advertise our service as a small dog oasis. We have tons of toys, treats, dogs beds, and love to offer to spoil and keep your little ones happy and safe. I know the peace and ease of mind I offer will stand out. I send pictures, and/or videos, daily, unless you ask me not to. I will also FaceTime you with your pet, upon request. * We have a 5 year old, 10lb Maltipoo, who acts more like an indoor cat, (sleeps a lot) and follows me everywhere, a 9 month old, 7lb, Malshi (Maltese Shitzu), who is a baby and wants to play with her toys all the time. We also have a 4 year old yellow lab, Sam, who acts like a lab. Aren’t they all full of energy? Sam likes to stay outside and loves his job as a guardian dog to our miniature goats. He comes in for freezing temperatures, over night to sleep, or heat advisories only. He’d rather be outside. All three get along with ALL animals, strays, neighbor’s yorkies’, neighbors dogs, etc. We have two acres of yard with a fenced in area that has a dog house, goat house, tree house, etc. which is where he stays. We are an animal loving family. No young kids that harm or hurt in any way. Your pets are guaranteed a “spoiled rotten” experience for sure. Schedule We are home most of the time. We let the pups run around and play inside. We prefer inside dogs over outside dogs, but will take the dogs outside many, many times to walk, run, and play. Just I inform us of their home habits of how often they like to go out. Safety, trust & environment- I am highly protective over the dogs well being. Safety and emotionally. We use leashes when walking/running your dog and to let them out to use the bathroom. Dogs are fed at separate locations to ensure no jealousy and fights. Not to mention stolen food and a hungry pup. The dogs we sit for sleep in the master bedroom. We sleep with the door shut. This is to ensure we can always have eyes and ears on your pup. No accidents or trouble to get into. They seem to like having the constant company around them, even if we are asleep, they know they’re not alone.

About: I’ve found a new profound love for animals since getting my goldendoodle in 2023. They are family for me and will be loved greatly. R I work 3 days out of the week and off on weekends. I am open to boarding, doggie daycare and walking services. Just reach out. I have two wonderful pups at home that will keep your fur baby company. We take walks in the morning and in the evening. R

“Robbyn was excellent! She was reliable and responsive. She would answer my questions at all hours of the day. She allowed my dog to go at his own pace and even picked up on his little nuances like wanting to carry his own leash. Highly recommended!”

“Angie is fantastic! She’s so good with our dog and makes sure to fill us in if there were any behavioral or stool issues we need to be aware of!”

About: I recently moved back to Virginia after living in Upstate New York for a handful of years. In addition to my work experience, I also attended a veterinary assistant class which covered everything from small animals to large. I have always had multiple dogs and cats growing up and have worked on farms caring for horses, dogs and chickens since 2013. I currently work at a local Animal Clinic as a veterinary assistant full time so my schedule will work around my full time job. I do receive an hour lunch most days I am scheduled therefore, if you live close to Main Street in Suffolk I will gladly stop by for a potty break during my lunch on days that I work a long shift. I do require meet and greets before the first initial drop in, sitting or walk so I am able to meet you and your pet. I would like to know: •Your pets allergies •Your pets normal routine to keep it as normal as possible •Do they get along with other dogs or cats •Their habits (good or naughty if they have any) •Any training routine that should be kept consistent •Dietary needs Thank you for taking your time to look into my services! My schedule can be rotating, in order to align care appropriately. I appreciate detailed discussions in order to make sure your pets needs are met! I attempt to keep the environment and routine as similar to when the pet parents are home. Understanding that limitations may come, these limitations are expected to be addressed and agreed upon prior to official booking.
