Dog Walking Hampstead

About: I have over a decade of experience taking care of pets of all kinds, from fur, to feathers, to scales! I rescued a senior beagle, so I'm well aware of the extra love and care older pups need! As an aspiring wildlife biologist, understanding pet behavior and quirks comes naturally to me. I love learning about every pet's unique personality and favorites! I treat every pet with the same patience and respect I give my own, keeping their routine consistent and as stress-free as possible to bring both them and you peace of mind! I currently have completely flexible availability throughout the week and weekends! My schedule easily accommodates everything from the earliest morning walks to the latest evening kibble drop-ins! When visiting your home, safety and security are my utmost priorities. I will strictly follow all entry, leash, feeding, and medication instructions, keep your spaces neat, and ensure your lovely pets stay secure and happy.

“Stephanie is an excellent choice for your pet's care. She shows genuine interest in our precious Katie, always shows on time, is very communicative, and friendly. Katie loves her walks with Stephanie :-) Highly recommend!”

About: I offer dog walking, potty breaks, and playtime as well as house sitting. I love being outside. I have had dogs and cats all of my life and I am very responsible and compassionate. I treat all pets as if they are my family. If you have a high energy dog I can definitely handle him/her and wear him out! I can also care for cats, fish, rabbits, etc. (no snakes please!) I can bring in mail, take trash cans to and from the curb on trash days, water plants, you name it! Message me for details!! I enjoy walking dogs and letting them out to use the bathroom first thing each morning. If they require constant care I can do that or if they’re fine to do their own thing I can also leave them to that. I prefer caring for pets in the pets home. This is more comfortable for them anyways. Doggy anxiety is a real thing! And when their family is out of town, it’s best to keep them in their own comfortable environment.

About: I’ve been a devoted dog mom for 13 years and have two pugs of my own, including Bentlee, a rehomed liver shunt survivor whose health issues I caught and acted on quickly. I have hands on experience with medication management, senior dog care and the unique needs of small breeds and flat faced breeds. Every dog I care for is treated exactly like my own. 🐾 Dog care fits naturally into my daily routine as a dog mom and online college student with a flexible schedule. Every dog gets my full love and attention.🐾 I maintain a calm, safe and loving environment. My dogs are crate trained, obedience trained and follow structured routines including enrichment, exercise, special diets and daily grooming. 🐾

“We are so thankful to have found Tessa. She takes great care of our pup, sends lots of pictures and communication is top notch! We would not hesitate to recommend Tessa!”

About: I’ve always connected well with animals, especially dogs. I’ve dog walked and watched others’ animals from a very young age. I was 22 when I decided to become a dog trainer. I was fortunate enough to attend one of the best programs in the country at Animal Behavior College, with a certificate in canine behavior therapy & a concentration in rehabilitating shelter dogs. I’m also qualified to train emotional support animals, which has been so rewarding. I chose this as a career path because of how much I genuinely love all living things. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends and give them the best care they could ask for! I own my own business, so I make my own schedule. I can tend to whatever schedule best suits the animals. I don’t have pets of my own, so that gives me even more flexibility. I always make sure I’m doing my best to care for animals, in any aspect of my life or career. I’m diligent in making sure their feeding, walking and play schedules are upheld promptly, and that their routines stay relatively in tact. This is one of the best things you can do to ease a pet’s anxiety about their owners being away. I work as a trainer, which means I’m happy to add on training sessions with your pet while they’re in my care, through my business if that’s something of interest. I’m very amenable to the specifications for each individual animal. Some dogs like to be given affection on the couch for a few minutes each day. Others might enjoy watching the birds in their yard for a while. I’m always happy to attune my care for each dog. When walking a dog, the quality of the walks are just as important as their frequency. Dogs require a certain level of mental stimulation each day, and ten minutes of sniffing is enough to satisfy most dog’s needs. They need the sniffing as much as the exercise. Your dog will be given ample time to sniff and “read the doggy newspaper”, as well as get some great exercise. I always make sure the animal has gotten everything that they need from the experience.

“Lacey is fabulous! He is polite, patient, and flexible. He walked my 89 year old mother’s dog and handled her constantly changing requests with grace and kindness. Her old dog adapted quickly to his visits and waited by the door for him to arrive. He arrived on time for every walk, printed out the schedule for my mom who forgets things, and was just all-around wonderful. I highly recommend him and thank him for everything he has done.”

About: I grew up in a household with a dog and have since lived with two other dogs including a senior golden retriever and currently a vizsla puppy! I have worked at a kennel for two years working in both boarding and daycare for dogs! Cats are not my area of expertise but I am willing to work with them!:) I just recently graduated from NC State and am figuring out what is next for me, so I am pretty flexible!! I do serve and attend church on Sunday mornings from 8:30-12 but around this times, I am mostly free! I also do photography but typically in 30 min to an hour long sessions and can easily work around those as well! I care for pets with love and gentleness! I love to play and/or snuggle so whatever they're up for, I'm ready for it! However I can best make them comfortable, I will accommodate in order to achieve!

About: I have many years of experience in rescuing, sitting, and rehabbing animals from domestic to wild. I love what I do and my children (ages 11-12) have been brought up the same way. They are very knowledgeable and passionate about all animals! While in my care, you can expect individualized compassionate care! I make sure your fur baby/s have fun, feel loved, safe and blend like one of the pack! They can roam free in our fenced in back or front yard, lounge on the screened in deck or cozy up on the couches inside with many plushy dog beds throughout our home. I don't crate unless requested so roaming through the house is just what they will do. Fully supervised of course! Our home is literally their home! I can also offer to help with anxiety, trauma and or sibling rivalry at no extra cost. It’s my passion to help animals :) I have lots of energy, free time and would love to give your pet/s every moment of the day! Your baby/s will feel right at home with all the love and attention received :) When it comes to pet sitting my kids (ages 11-12) and I are a full time team and we work together to make sure your baby/s are fully supervised, entertained, and even spoiled! We have a big fenced back and front yard, a screened in deck, lounge areas throughout the house, grain free kibbles, home made treats, filtered water, plushy beds and secured home with cameras and security system. We strive to give your baby/s a safely wonderful and comfy stay with total peace of mind for you!

About: Hello, my name is Emily, I am 21 years old and love animals :) I have 5 years of pet sitting experience, and working at Pawville for 3 years as a kennel attendant. I can help with pet walking and sitting. I can also help with adjacent tasks such as keeping an eye on the house, watering plants, collecting mail, bringing trash cans to the road, light chores (ex: vacuuming, sweeping, cleaning windows), etc. I have no issue cleaning up after pets, cleaning up accidents, throw up, litter boxes, etc. as long as the appropriate cleaning supplies are provided and available for me to use. I love cats and big dogs, and no issue with Pitbulls, they are a favorite of mine :) I’m currently a third year college student home for the summer and just looking for some part time work to earn some money before heading back, so my schedule is very flexible at the moment. I can crate pets if needed, I have no issues cleaning up after pets; including accidents, throw up, litter boxes, etc. as long as the necessary cleaning products are provided. I am alright with vacuuming, sweeping, and cleaning up dirty windows if needed.

About: What sets me apart isn't just a love for dogs — it's a lifetime of it. I raised my own dog for 13 years, through every stage of her life, and recently said goodbye to her. That experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and the kind of deep care that only comes from truly bonding with an animal. When your dog is in my hands, they're not just being watched — they're being loved. Caring for pets fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I work from home, which means dogs in my care are never left alone for long. My apartment complex has a dog park right on-site, making it easy to give pups plenty of fresh air, exercise, and socialization throughout the day. Having raised my own dog for 13 years, structure and daily care come naturally to me. I treat every pet in my care as my own. My home is a calm, safe, and loving environment. I pay close attention to each dog's individual personality and needs, and I always keep owners updated with regular check-ins. After 13 years of raising my own dog, I know how important trust and communication are for pet owners leaving their fur baby in someone else's hands.

“We love Emma! She is a kind soul and very gentle and caring with Rae. She takes time to love on her and talk to her as well as even work with her building bonds through training. We feel very blessed that we found her!”

About: I provide reliable drop-in visits and energy-burning dog walks for pet owners who want peace of mind while they're away. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, fresh water, feeding, playtime, companionship, or a long walk to work off extra energy, I'm committed to making sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy. I have personally owned and cared for dogs for more than 22 years and understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines. Through years of hands-on experience, I've learned how important consistency, patience, exercise, and positive interactions are to a dog's overall well-being. I genuinely love dogs and treat every pet in my care with the same attention and affection I give my own. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and happy to follow your pet's specific routine and care instructions. During visits, I can provide exercise, playtime, feeding, fresh water, medication administration (if needed and instructions are provided), and plenty of love and attention. For walks, I enjoy giving dogs the physical activity and mental stimulation they need to stay healthy and content. I work full-time but have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide drop-in visits and walks during available hours. I believe pets deserve quality one-on-one attention, and I make every effort to ensure they receive the time, care, and exercise they need. My goal is to help you feel confident knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work from home so if your needs are during the week I can do 2 drop in’s or walk during the week. I can do anytime on the weekends. I currently have a dog that doesn’t always do well with other dogs. He has never bitten anyone but I’m not sure how he would react with another dog in the house.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who knows that every pup has their own personality, quirks, and needs. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a senior needing a little extra patience, or somewhere in between, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I’ve completed in-home pet sitting for an elderly Husky with incontinence issues, so I’m comfortable with senior dogs, medication routines, accidents, and providing the extra attention they deserve. I also cared for my own dog through two battles with liver cancer, which taught me the importance of compassion, consistency, and paying attention to the little things. These days, I’m the proud dog mom of a young pup who’s finally made it through the “terrible twos,” so I’m no stranger to energetic dogs, training, and keeping them mentally and physically engaged. I also have a sweet red-nose Pit Bull who is an absolute angel at home—but definitely reminds me to stay on my toes during walks because she loves to pull! Thanks to her, I’m confident handling strong, enthusiastic walkers. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, exercise, playtime, and updates so you can relax knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry family! Pet care is already a big part of my daily life! I’m a full-time dog mom and a fitness trainer, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Because I create my own hours, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and giving pets the attention they deserve. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze into my day—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make a priority. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is to keep their routine as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I live in an apartment community with plenty of safe walking paths and a beautiful pond, so daily walks are a regular part of our routine. Every “special walk” includes a stop by the community center, where pups get a well-earned treat (with your permission, of course!). I’ll also make sure they have plenty of playtime, fresh water, affection, and lots of updates so you know they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“She treated our dog so well and was flexible with her needs. We also have cats and she didn’t seem to mind them at all. She is super responsive and easy going, I would definitely recommend!”

About: I am a 23 year old animal lover servicing the Wilmington area. I have had animals from a very young age and have experience with bunnies, cats, dogs, fish, and small animals. I am very new to the Wilmington area and still in between jobs right now so my schedule is pretty flexible at the moment until I find something more stable. I take pride in caring for animals through my entire life. I have had my own animals since the day I was born, and often watch family friends and neighbors animals. I have lots of experience when it comes to animals as I have a large number of pets myself.

“Andrea is absolutely wonderful! She truly loves animals and always takes great care of my dog. I highly recommend her, she is very caring and trustworthy.”

“Banjo absolutely loves and waits for Nicole to open the door and take him on a walk. He knows her name before she ever comes which tells me that he’s very excited about the treatment that she does in making him feel comfortable on his walks. what a peaceful feeling for a dog owner to know that their dog is that well taken care of.”

About: With over 10 years of pet sitting experience—both in clients’ homes and in my own—I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I also have hands-on experience with dog walking and truly enjoy getting to know each pup’s unique needs and quirks. My love for dogs started with my childhood cocker spaniel, who lived a happy 14 years and taught me just how deep the bond between human and dog can be. Since then, caring for dogs has never just been a job—it’s something I genuinely love. What sets me apart is my focus on your dog’s comfort. Whether that means extra playtime, long walks, or just quiet snuggles on the couch, I tailor each visit to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I’m an early riser and a night owl, so I have lots of time each day to give your pup the attention they need—whether that’s walks, playtime, or couch snuggles. We also have a sweet, friendly dog Kenzie, who absolutely loves other dogs. She’s very well-socialized and would be a great companion for your pup during their stay. Kenzie is the only dog in our home, so she’s always excited to have a new buddy to hang out with! She’s super friendly and loves having a playmate around to keep her company. I offer boarding Friday through Sunday, and I'm available for pet sitting and dog walking any day of the week. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority! In our home, your pup will be treated like one of our own—basically, like a spoiled baby with paws! We’re all about love, belly rubs, and making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and totally at home. At our home, we have space for a crate if needed and offer a cozy, calm environment. We’re lucky to have access to a large, fully fenced-in dog park right on our property that features agility equipment, shaded areas, and 24/7 water access—perfect for playtime and exercise! Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, structured outdoor time, or sticking to a feeding and potty schedule, we tailor our care to meet each dog’s needs and personality.

About: I have a 1 year old dachshund so I have gotten pretty used to caring for dogs especially puppies! She gets along with all types of dogs! I work part time and the other parts of my day include hanging out with my dog and taking her on walks! I like to get a lot of exercise in so i enjoy long or short walks! I have a small fenced in backyard and love to engage with the dogs and I think it will be fun to teach them little tricks! My home is super dog friendly and have a neighborhood to take them on walks!
