Dog Walking Hamlet

About: I love animals no matter the breed. I can care for both cats, dogs and ferrets. I do not have experience caring for other animals but if taught their routine I can definitely learn! My schedule is usually always open and as a pet parent,I will always provide the best care for your pet when you are away. I can do overnight animal sitting, if necessary as well as during the day. Because of my housing arrangements, I cannot offer boarding. As a pet owner, I totally understand the questions and concerns of leaving your pet in the care of someone else. I do have friends and family members who trust me to take care of their animals, while they are away on business trips and/or vacations. The rules that are set for your animal will be followed by me.

“Samantha has been such a welcome addition to my puppies life. I work long hours and my boyfriend goes out of town frequently so find a flexible and kind dog walker was important to us. Samantha has been so great, she is very flexible and is dedicated to treating our dog well. She also gives a lot of great puppy advice and has been a huge help on getting our puppy to walk better.”

About: I grew up on a farm and have had dogs all my life. I currently have a boykin spaniel named Colt. I dog sat through college and even worked in vet med. I work full time, but have a flexible schedule most days. I’m able to drop in before 8am, during my lunch, and after work. Weekends tend to be more open. I am able to take long or short walks, drop by just to take your dog out for a bathroom break, play, feed, administer medications.

About: I have extensive pet care experience, I am a former Veterinary Technician and am quite comfortable caring for pets with sensitive medical needs. I am able to administer medications whether that be orally, aurally, ocularly or via injection either intravenously or intramuscularly. I also did quite of bit of volunteer work at the Humane Society and am familiar with working with pets that have separation anxiety or a lack of social skills with other animals.

About: My husband and I have been fostering dogs since February 2023. Sadly (or happily, rather), several of those fosters became foster fails. We went from having 1 dog and 2 cats to 4 dogs and 4 cats…but we wouldn’t have it any other way :) Our 4 cats are all extremely friendly and loving. Charlie is 6, Harley is 3, and Sweet Potato and Clementine just turned 1. Every single one of our dogs is a rescue. Molly is 9 months, Banjo is 7 months, Mia is 10-12 years, and Georgie is 8-10 years. Molly & Banjo were rescued with Paws of the Pines Rescue based in Southern Pines, NC. Mia & Georgie are a sister duo that we found dumped in the woods, and are the best senior pups we’ve ever encountered. My husband and I care deeply for all animals and do this because we love it, not for the money. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you’re in need of care. We will do what we can to serve you! I (Megan) wake up at 4:30 daily to let the dogs out, walk them, and feed them breakfast. I leave for work at 6. Jacob then wakes up and cares for the dogs until he leaves for work at 7. The dogs are crated until we come home. After work they engage in another walk, training, puzzles, you name it, and are highly active until bedtime around 9. The cats have an automatic feeder and water fountain. They love lounging around in the living room if the dogs are calm. All 4 cats are friendly and curious. Harley hangs around outside most of the day and the orange brothers are in and out as they please. Charlie is mostly indoors with the occasional peek at the outside world. Pets that enter my home will remain in the main living area with the puppies. The cats in my home are free to roam through the whole house. Dogs will need to be crate trained and okay other pets. I will accommodate their meals according to the owners’ requests. We are an active family, so walks are common!

About: I’ve cared for animals of all ages, sizes, and breeds since I was young. My professional experience as a Kennel Technician has strengthened my skills in safe handling, recognizing animal behavior, and providing attentive care. As a pre-veterinary student, I’m passionate about animal health and committed to treating every pet with patience, kindness, and care. I’m a full-time student and work part-time, but I make pet care a priority in my schedule. My availability varies throughout the week, and I’ll always communicate clearly about my schedule before booking. I’m happy to plan walks, visits, and care around my classes and work hours. I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I carefully follow feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions, and I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and individual needs. My experience as a Kennel Technician has taught me safe handling, cleanliness, and the importance of creating a calm, secure environment.

About: I was raised with a variety of cats and dogs for 25 years, volunteered in a shelter while I was in school, and helped with herpetological demonstrations and assisted with their care. The last few years I have had further opportunity to care for coworkers' pets as I house sat for fellow nurses traveling . I have sat for everything from dogs and cats to lizards, snakes, fish, rabbits, even horses, pigs, goats, and chickens. I work as a nurse full time which allows me a relatively flexible schedule for drop in visits over the weekdays and and stretches of time off for longer stays. Flexibility is my motto; I am able to drop by for walks or let them out into the yard if there's fencing, all depending on your preference. I can free feed or work off a schedule, ect. I have worked with everyone from those asking me to just stop by to check the house and take in mail, no pets involved, to another asking for overnight stays with an anxious rescue on a feeding regimen and medication requirements.

About: I’ve been around cats and dogs even some reptiles all my life! I’m great with kittens puppies and even senior pets that need a little extra care. I have experience with administering medications im super patient with all pets even the ones that need a little extra attention and love! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I currently have open availability and a flexible schedule. As a mom, I’m already in a routine centered around consistency, attentiveness, and caregiving, which translates perfectly into caring for pets. This allows me to provide reliable visits, walks, feedings, medication administration, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate a variety of schedules, including early mornings, evenings, and last-minute bookings, while ensuring each pet gets the time, care, and attention they deserve Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. With my background in veterinary medicine, I’m trained to recognize changes in behavior or health and respond quickly if anything seems off. I’m experienced with administering medications, handling pets safely, and caring for animals with special needs. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine and preferences so I can provide consistent, low-stress care in your home. I’m very mindful about securing doors, using proper leash handling, and creating a calm, safe environment at all times. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always feel confident and connected while you’re away. You can trust that your pet will be treated with the same level of care, patience, and attention I give my own.

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and have experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have three cats 🐈🐈‍⬛💛of my own and have also had dogs, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and individual needs. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and take pride in making sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. When you trust me with your pets, I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and affection while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I’m available on any day, as I work part time from home. I’ll never leave them alone and they will always receive the attention needed. I have a nice size yard, and my home is also animal friendly. I do have cats inside. I can take them to the pet park and let them play somewhere fenced in, as well. If there are things you prefer, be sure and let me know and I can make those accommodations.

About: I’ve been a dog lover and pet parent for as long as I can remember. Throughout my life, I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of many different sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. From playful puppies and energetic dogs to older pups who need a little extra patience and attention, I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s individual needs. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of opportunities to spend quality time with your pets. I would love to become a trusted part of your pet’s life and provide them with the care, attention, and companionship they deserve! I have a good understanding of dog behavior and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and quirks. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, and I take the time to build trust at their own pace.

About: What truly sets me apart as a pet sitter is my proactive, personalized approach to care, combined with a genuine passion for every animal's well-being. While many sitters offer basic feeding and walks, I focus on creating a stress-free and enriching environment that caters to each pet's individual needs. I've been taking care of animals since I was 5 years old. It began with our dogs and has expanded to cats, birds, horses, goats, pigs, etc. as my family purchased a farm. Hi. I am available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturday and Sundays. The times I am available are OPEN. Let me know what works for you. My experience with puppies allows me to seamlessly continue any ongoing house-training or basic obedience work, ensuring consistency during their critical developmental stage. I'm adept at positive reinforcement techniques, helping to reinforce good behaviors and prevent common puppy pitfalls like nipping or jumping. This means your new furry family member won't miss a beat in their learning while you're away. Furthermore, my dedication to senior pet care is a significant differentiator. I understand the unique requirements of older animals, from administering medications (excluding injections) to providing gentle exercise and recognizing subtle signs of discomfort. I'm patient and attentive, ensuring their comfort and maintaining their routine with the utmost sensitivity. I'm also comfortable with mobility assistance and can adapt to any specific health needs your senior pet may have. Beyond these specialized skills, I offer: Proactive Communication: You'll receive regular updates, photos, and videos, so you always feel connected to your pet and have complete peace of mind. I'm quick to communicate any concerns or observations. A Deep Understanding of Animal Behavior: My background has given me insight into reading pet body language, understanding their cues, and responding appropriately, which helps prevent issues and builds a stronger bond. Exceptional Reliability and Trustworthiness: I treat your home and your pets with the same respect and care I would my own, ensuring everything is secure and well-maintained. In essence, I don't just watch pets; I become a temporary, loving extension of your family, dedicated to their happiness, health, and continued well-being.

“Terri had been such a great sitter!! I’ve used her multiple times now because of the great experience with her. The first time I used her she was so responsive to the booking request and was more than understanding of what I needed for my dogs. Every time she walks them I know they’re getting the right attention needed for two high energy dogs. They get to play and relieve some energy during the time Terri watches them! I highly recommend you book with her! She’s great!! Thank you Terri!!”

About: I have taken care of many pets since I was a little girl especially dogs. I am a dog owner and so is my family. when my family members leave on trips I take care of all the pets needs like walking feeding and spending quality time I am a mom so my hours are based around school. My hours are from 8:30am to 2:00 pm I feel that is adequate time to give your pets the extra needed attention, love, and exercise they require. Well tending to pets and clients home I make sure the dog will be leashed before heading out doors and making sure that all doors are secure before and after walks. If they are caged or crate I will make sure that they are properly secured.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, especially when it comes to cats. I grew up in a household that always had multiple cats. I just recently moved from my parents house where we had four, including a rescue I brought back from an overseas deployment. I also have experience caring for senior pets, including my childhood pet, a 14 year old Siamese in her final years, where I provided comfort, medication support, and close monitoring. I’ve fostered multiple litters of kittens, including bottle feeding, scheduled care, and neonatal support (including stimulation for bathroom and feeding routines), so I’m very comfortable with young or high needs animals. I also have hands on experience caring for dogs, including a family chocolate lab that I regularly walked, took on beach trips, transported safely in my vehicle, and maintained consistent feeding and exercise routines for. I’m comfortable managing leash behavior, high energy dogs, and ensuring pets get both physical activity and attention. What sets me apart is my genuine compassion and attentiveness. I treat every pet like my own and take the time to understand their personality, needs, and comfort level. Treating any animal I encounter humanely is my calling. It is humans responsibility to care for them. I’m a substitute teacher, so I’m able to plan my days around the pets I’m caring for. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, and I make sure to stay consistent with each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. I have no pets or children at home. I have a huge backyard that isn’t completely fenced, but property behind it. No smoking or people coming in/out for any reasons.

About: I’ve taken care of every type of animal from cows, bunnies, and chickens to horses, dogs, and cats since I was born, very pet friendly. I’ve even had a chameleon and plenty fish. My schedule is very flexible, I can do pop ins, walks, and I can even take pets to a river to play and run around I will accommodate all dogs needs bathroom wise, food wise, and I will make sure the pet has lots of play time, pets will be well taken care of, happy, and all needs/wants will be met

About: I've grown up caring for multiple breeds of dogs and some cats. I have adopted an older Lab Mix from a kill shelter and he is the sweetest, calm and loving dog. Large dogs are my specialty but I love smaller dogs as well. Caring for them comes natural, on top of giving them plenty of space to run and exercise. I am comfortable giving any dogs medications as I have experience giving my own the same. If there is any specification you'd like for dog boarding, I am more than positive those needs can be met. Walking dogs is an everyday activity I do to keep them mobile and active as well as myself! I just enjoy any type of companionship that comes with caring for dogs! I’m currently working from home which helps allow us to provide full time care for our animals, as well as yours! We’re able to be outside and play anytime throughout the day. We have a large fenced in back yard with lots of room to roam and play outside. With cameras in the front and back yard that helps us keep a close eye on their movement to ensure safety.

About: I have taken care of dogs and other kinds of pets since I was 14. My family and friends rely on me to come check in, walk, and play with their pets. I am available anytime during the day this summer. I do have a couple vacations already planned but I will communicate if something conflicts with the care you need for your pets! I have a fenced yard and 4 pugs that love to run around! My pets have plenty of toys they love to play with and they get fed twice a day. My cat also has plenty of toys and scratching posts, he also gets fed twice a day.

“Maria was great! Communicative, friendly, and reliable, good with dogs. Handled our large skittish but friendly dog very well for a productive walk (and they had never met!). Such a help when we were visiting from out of town but away for the evening. Thank you so much for the good communication and peace of mind.”
