Dog Walking Gorman

“I highly reccomend Diana. An excellent, affectionate, and responsible dog walker.”

Linda H.

“I had a great experience with Kevin for walking Gazer! He always showed up exactly when scheduled, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Communication was excellent—he kept me updated before, during, and after each walk, and were very responsive to messages. I really appreciated his flexibility as well, especially when I needed to request additinal walks and adjust times on short notice. It made coordinating everything so much easier. One of my favorite parts was receiving photos from each walk—it was so reassuring to see Gazer happy enjlying his full 30 mins walks. I would absolutely recommend Kevin to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring dog walker!”

“So thankful Randy was able to walk our pups. I'll be reaching out again if I go out of town. Was communicative and friendly, followed instructions, and was great with the pups.”

Jessica R.

“Bell is reliable, attentive, friendly, and my dog loved her! He is a fearful and sometimes stubborn baby, she was able to get him out for walks on the first visit when it has often taken people multiple times to get to that point. She was very quick and thorough in her responses and put me at ease that my pup would be okay while I was out of town. We will definitely consider her again in the future!”

About: Hi All, My name is Alessandria but I prefer to be called Alekx and no the K is not a typo. My hair color is subject to change but it's just dyed hair braided into my natural hair. I have been caring for animals professionally since 2006, until 2013 where I took a leap in a different field of work. I use to move all over the country but I am home and hoping to start pet sitting as my main job. I have a guinea pig by the named Tikka Teacake and she is a little siren but she is my 3rd guinea pig. I am a non-smoker and prefer days curled up with fluffy creatures and a good book. In regards to my experience I have worked at pets resorts such as Sunny Acres where I had a few loyal dogs that I dearly miss. I have owned large dog breeds my whole life and grew up with pure breed Rottweilers, German Shepherd mixes, and my current lovely mutt. I have been doing home pet sitting for over a decade. I usually spend most the day when I am at home entertaining my pets or letting them have free run of the backyard with regular check ins. I make sure that their food is good for their stomach, their daily exercise if playing outside with a normal dose of petting and grooming. I recently got off of medical leave so I have started short nightly walks and we work out together to stay happy and healthy. I am a big night owl so I love watching my dogs snore about. A safe home is one your pet recognizes as the pack den. I care for all pets with repetitive training, health care checks, grooming, and dental care as long as they will let me. I love to make a home pet safe by avoiding choking hazards and loose cables. (Mainly because my guinea pig is a little menace). Medications are taken with timers and usually snuck into foods. I like keeping basic training habits are maintained so that the pets do not unlearn anything their humans have taught them.

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for the past 13 years. I have particular experience in watching dogs with a variety of medical conditions and am pretty adept at getting dogs to take their pills! I love to give a dog as much attention as they want, whether that’s playing, long walks, or plenty of belly scratches! I am currently interviewing for residency programs so I have an exorbitant amount of free time as I am off of clinical service for serval months during this interview season. I care for pets earnestly as if they were my own. Though I don’t currently have a pet, I babysit for my friends all the time who are busy doctors. I try to make the pets as comfortable as possible with me and try to provide as much attention as they are looking for, because I know it can be hard for them when their people are away.

About: Most of my experience is with dogs of friends or co-workers. I generally keep their dogs at their place where they are most comfortable and take them out frequently for walks/runs or whatever they'd like to do. So long as the dog is house trained and not on the "forbidden breed list" at the apartments I stay, they are welcome to my home too. I've sat a Pointer/Dalmation mix, Maltese mix, Shepherd mix, Chow Chow, Boxer, Cane Corso, and 2 Weimaraners in the past. My fulltime job is a nurse, and I only work 36 hours a week. I don't really consider pet sitting or walking a job because I love dogs so much. Just looking to make some extra income and maybe start my own business someday. I have a laid back personality and dogs tend to take to me immediately or at least stay true to their breeds. Chow Chow was my brother-in-law's dog who barked at me a good 3-4 times before she knew I wasn't a total stranger. Bothered me none.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have experience caring for both big dogs, small dogs, and cats. Back home in Tennessee, I have 2 Yorkies and a Goldendoodle, and I’ve also helped neighbors, friends, and family care for their pets over the years. I’m patient, dependable, and love making pets feel comfortable and cared for. I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to work around your pet’s specific needs and routine. I typically work mornings during the week and am usually home by mid afternoon, but I can adjust my schedule as needed for walks, potty breaks, feedings, playtime, and medication schedules. I make it a priority to give pets plenty of attention, consistency, and companionship so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I always do my best to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while in my care. I pay close attention to each pet’s normal routine, energy level, feeding schedule, and any special instructions so they can stay as stress free as possible. I’m experienced with walks, potty breaks, playtime, crating if needed, and giving pets space when they need it. I also make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are being well cared for.

About: I have always been surrounded by dog, whether it was my own or taking care of others. I believe that dogs deserve as much love as they give us. I am a homebody, but that means that I'll be more available to hang out with your dog for walks or trips to the park. I live in a townhouse apartment, which means that I have experience with walking dogs around non-fenced areas. This also means I will be observant if you do have a fenced area.

“Kaiwen was an amazing dog sitter!! She kept me updated and sent lots of detailed messages and pictures while walking my sweet pup. Will definitely have to have her walk him again!”

About: I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs. I have experience with puppy training basics like crate and leash training, as well as caring for senior pets who may need medication or extra patience. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and keep owners updated, treating every pet like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make it a priority in my schedule. I plan my day around visits, walks, and check-ins to ensure each pet gets consistent attention and care. I’m flexible with mornings, afternoons, and evenings, which allows me to accommodate feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special routines pets are used to. I provide a safe, structured environment with a fully fenced-in yard for secure outdoor time, play, and exercise. I’m very experienced with larger dogs and understand their need for both physical activity and clear boundaries. At home, I care for four large dogs of my own! Tilly (mixed breed), Bear (Standard Poodle), Sasha (German Shepherd), and Ronin (Great Pyrenees/German Shepherd mix), ranging in age from 5 to 12. Managing a group like this has given me strong skills in supervision, routine, and reading different personalities and energy levels. Because of this, I’m comfortable handling multiple dogs, maintaining a calm environment, and making sure each pet gets the attention and care they need to feel safe and happy.

About: I've grown up around animals for most of my life and have experience caring for both big dogs, small dogs, and cats. I grew up with 3 beagles, and have also helped neighbors, friends, and family care for their pets over the years. This has given me experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. I'm comfortable caring for dogs with medical needs and administering medications when necessary. I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to provide your pets with the attention and care they deserve. I will be at your home for the majority of the time, only popping out occasionally to grab food or run quick errands. I can easily adjust my day as needed for walks, potty breaks, feedings, playtime, and medication schedules. When I stay in your home my biggest priority is ensuring that your pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable while in my care. I pay close attention to each pet's normal routine, energy level, and feeding schedule, as well as any special instructions so they can stay as stress free as possible. I'm experienced with walks (both fast paced and slow), potty breaks, playtime, crating if needed, and giving pets space when they need it. Expect regular updates and photos from me, so you're never out of the loop!

About: I’ve grown up with cats and animals, even helped my own cat give birth (covid times) and currently have 2 cats of my own. I’ve taken care of larger dogs as well, sweet pit bulls are my favorite! I am accommodating and love meeting new people and animals. I’m available to care for animals on extended weekends and weekdays if needed. I am located in downtown Durham and can access your pets quickly if needed. My schedule is very flexible and I am punctual. I love playing with my 2 cats and parent’s dog as I believe playtime is important for stimulation. When I can’t take them on a walk, I find ways to stimulate them, such as indoor blanket puzzles and toy play! I can accommodate each animal per their needs.

“isabelle is everything you'd want in a sitter! super reliable, communicative, and responsive to my senior dogs needs :)”

About: I've been surrounded by cats and dogs my entire life and have over 9 years of hands-on experience caring for them. I'm comfortable with feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, and giving plenty of love and attention. I also have experience caring for pets with medical needs. I cared for my own dog with epilepsy, administering his medication every day, and have helped nurse sick cats back to health by giving medication and closely monitoring their recovery. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, and I'll care for them as if they were my own. I'm self-employed, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a drop-in visit, a walk, medication, or extra playtime, I'm happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I strive to provide consistent, reliable care that fits their routine. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I'll follow your pet's routine as closely as possible, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, administering medication, or simply keeping them company. I'll always treat your home with respect, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.

About: I’ve been a dog owner since 2005 and helped many neighbors over the years. Happy to feed, walk, play and love your furry loved one! I’m available most of the time, even on short notice. I work from home and my own fur baby is super loved. Your pet will never be left alone! I can keep up with your pet and happy to take them on nearby adventures! I’m happy to incorporate your advice on your pets needs and wants.

“Alex is fantastic with my 110 pound Rotty mix. He clearly has a knack for dogs and understands their behaviors. It’s clear he treats other people’s pets as if they were his own. I highly recommend”

About: Hello! I am a huge animal lover with extensive pet sitting experience. I will give your sweet pets the best care possible and treat them as my own. I grew up with multiple family dogs and began taking care of the dogs in my neighborhood from as young as 8 years old. Since graduating college and living on my own, I’ve adopted my own dog and two cats. My pets are my world and I’d love to be able to give your pets the exact same care while you’re away. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and breeds, though I would like a quick rundown of any quirks or behaviors that I need to be aware of during our time together. I have experience with intravenous and oral medication for both cats and dogs, as well as a handful of reptiles. I work full time from home but my daily schedule tends to be quite flexible. I can do drop-in visits/walks anytime throughout the day depending on location! I will always do my best to respect and follow the outlined rules and directions when taking care of your pet. I completely understand that some animals have their own quirks and requirements, so I always try my best to replicate their normal care routine to keep them as comfortable as possible. If there are any specific rules you'd like me to follow within your house, please share those as well! I want to make sure you're comfortable with me coming into your space to care for your pets.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and I genuinely love caring for them. I grew up taking care of farm animals and mostly took care of chickens and stray cats in my area, so I’m very comfortable with different types of animals and personalities. I’ve also have pets of my own, including my cat Onion, who I’ve raised since birth, and a husky named Gunner that I adopted from a shelter. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family with their pets, whether that’s walking, feeding, or just spending time with them so they feel comfortable and not alone. I’m very patient and attentive, and I naturally adjust to each pet’s energy! My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away! I am currently a student, Army ROTC cadet, and athlete at North Carolina Central University. I am usually up really early in the morning for physical training at around 5-7am. I would love to start your animals day off with a morning walk or play session! I have a few classes M-TH and can be available depending on the time. However, I’m free all day on Fridays plus weekends. Keeping your pet safe and comfortable are my top priorities. I will not be caring for pets in my home because I am in a dorm for school, but in a clients home I always follow care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special needs. I make sure pets are supervised, secure, and in a clean environment at all times. I’m very observant to behavior and mood changes and will communicate regularly.

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets in the past as well as many of my friends and families. I love to snuggle them if they like it and often prefer the company of pets to humans 😅 I can take of pers after work and over night if I stay in the home. I work from home every other week as well so that allows me to be present more often if needed as long as their is internet. I honestly treat them as I do my own daughter. With love and kindness. They’re fur babies and deserve just as much love and respect.
