Dog Walkers in Gum Branch, NC

“Abigail has been a great regular walker for Lilah. It gives me a lot of peace of mind that my dog gets a break in the middle of the work day. Abigail is punctual and very responsive to communications, and Lilah loves her daily walk with her.”

About: I’ve taken care of all of my pets since 5 yo. I love to go on walks and runs. I used to baby sit my neighbors dogs since I was 12. I can feed, bathe, walk their pets! I am a marine during the week but I can work any time during the weekends. I can work overnight if need be as well. I care for my boxer mix at home by feeding her, walking/running with her. I’d give her alot of attentions. I would also brush and cut her toenails.

About: I’ve been taking care of many different animals since childhood and I am a new attending student of NC State University to become a veterinarian and to expand my knowledge to help all creatures I can! Pet care fits into my lifestyle because it is helping to give me more hands on experience and unexpected emergencies while attending veterinary school learning. I have a fenced in back yard my 3 dogs run the yard and love it. My own pets eat twice a day unless they obviously what more, same with my 3 cats. All my pets get along and love each other very much.

“Emanuel is so helpful for our dual-mil family, and our pups love him! Thank you!”

About: Growing up my family has always had pets, I am able to take care of multiple animals at a time. I have a flexible schedule, with 3 years of professional pet sitting experience as well as working as a kennel lead at a dog daycare/boarding facility & a Rescue Specialist. Besides taking care of my own animals on a daily basis, my schedule is fairly flexible. I do not take on more than 2 jobs at a time so that I can properly provide care. Able to work weekends and overnights upon request. Prices are negotiable! Along with letting dogs outside for potty breaks and play time, I also can pick up dog poop upon request. Typically if I care for your animals for more than a few days, I will ask you what day your trash is collected and put it outside. I can also collect mail from mailboxes so it doesn’t pile up, clean floors that have pet hair, wash food and water bowls and can wash bedding if I need to stay the night. When I leave my house my older dog is left to roam while my younger dog enjoys her cage. Animals fed and watered twice a day and dogs let out every 4-6 hours if I’m home, typically no more than an 8 hour work day if I am not. Kitty litter is scooped and then changed once a week.

“Jordan is awesome! I never have to worry about my dog when she’s scheduled for a walk. He’s immensely taken care of along with our cat, who she also pets and gives so much love to. Couldn’t ask for someone better!”
