Dog Walking Holly Acres

“She went above and beyond in every way when it came to dog sitting our puppy Mia. Always on time, took her time with Mia, and went out of her way to make sure her needs were met. She did so great that our dog is gonna miss her! Glad I didn’t go with any other option. Brooke is a true blessing!”

About: Friends, coworkers, and family members have trusted me with taking care of their pets over the years. Most of my formal experience with caring for other peoples pets came during and after college, however I was raised around pets (cats and dogs) and learned how to be safe and responsible with animals when I was very little. I am very comfortable with a variety of breeds and temperaments. I have a good understanding of basic commands and have trained two of my own dogs from puppies. I grew up around dogs and cats (we had three golden retrievers at one point!) and always looked forward to getting a dog of my own. There is something about the bond between owner and dog that is special and unique. I enjoy having this bond with my own dog but I also love meeting new animals and seeing their personalities come out as they get comfortable interacting. I have been exposed to many types of dogs while dog sitting, visiting local dog parks, and traveling with our dogs to pet friendly locations. I am familiar with caring for dogs that take oral medication and/or have health problems such as limited sight or blindness. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about hiring me for boarding, dog walking, check-ins, or dog day care! I am home full time. I have one small child in the home, so any dogs staying with us during the day or overnight would need to be comfortable and well behaved enough to be around a young child. I have one dog in the home who is friendly and well socialized. He takes little to no time to warm up to other dogs when introduced. Your dog will have plenty of space to be comfortable to chill and play! We enjoy spending time outside on nice days. When it is too hot or cold outside I make sure our pup gets playtime or enrichment toys/treats inside. I currently can offer dog walking services, daily check-ins for cats or dogs, doggy day care, and boarding at our home (as long as your pet is a good fit with my dog and a safe fit for a home with a small child). We have a large front and backyard as well as a carport/porch area. There is plenty of space for playing fetch, having the zoomies, or chewing on a treat while getting some fresh air, rain or shine! If your dog requires being leashed/walked when going potty, that is no problem. There is plenty of space to take them around the yard for sniffs and potty, as well as walkable streets near our house, and a beautiful park with a walking trail less than 2 minutes away. Our dog currently follows recall and commands to do his "business" and come back, but if we are caring for another dog we will leash them both or follow the owner's preferences and what they are comfortable with.

About: Hi I’m Luke! I’ve taken care of lots of different dogs over the years. From puppies to senior pets, timid to aggressive dogs big or small I’ve taken care of them all. Dogs are like people with their own special needs and quirks that need to be addressed with care. Contact me today to see how I can help! I work a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day into evenings for dog walks and drop in visits! Schedule varies so always willing to stop by! I currently live in an apartment complex that is friendly towards dogs. All dogs have their own special needs that need to be met and I am here to make sure those needs are fulfilled.

About: I recently relocated from Greenville, South Carolina, to the Winston Salem area. While I'm new to the area, I'm not new to pet care! I've been a lifelong dog owner and have over five years of experience caring for dogs. I'm excited to start building new relationships with pet parents here in Winston Salem. I'm a registered nurse, so providing safe, dependable, and compassionate care comes naturally to me. My career has taught me to stay calm under pressure, pay close attention to detail, and follow routines and special instructions carefully-all qualities that also make me an excellent pet sitter. Whether your pet needs medication, has a specific routine, or simply loves extra attention, I'm happy to accommodate their individual needs. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels-from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I understand that every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to build trust so they feel comfortable, loved, and secure while you're away. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, or plenty of cuddles, my goal is to make your pet feel as happy and relaxed as possible. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life! As a nurse, I work only 3 days a week, which means I’m home the majority of the week with plenty of time and energy to care for pets. On my days off, I plan my routine around feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddle sessions. Even on the days I’m working, my husband, who has just as much experience with dogs as I do, takes over to ensure pets are safe, happy, and cared for. We truly enjoy having dogs around and treat every one like our own! In my home, pets are treated like part of the family! We have a fully fenced backyard in a quiet, safe neighborhood, perfect for pups to run, play, and get plenty of fresh air. Inside, there’s lots of space for lounging and relaxing, and I always make sure pets are comfortable, well-fed, and getting plenty of love and attention throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, mealtime, or just some cozy cuddles, I follow each pet’s routine closely to make sure they feel right at home.

About: I grew up with a dog and have always loved being around them. I also have experience dog sitting for a friend, including staying overnight to care for her dogs while she was away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and company! I’m currently an online college student and work part-time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the week and am happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s normal routine! I’ll make sure to follow any instructions you leave for your pets and keep their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care while making sure they’re safe and comfortable in their own home.

About: I have owned and taken care of dogs and cats all my life and have a genuine passion for fur babies health and happiness ! I'm semi retired and have flexible availability, I can board, walk mornings or evenings and weekends are no problem. If boarding, small dogs only please. I do not have a fenced yard so would use a leash or harness. I've never crated a pet but would if the owner prefers

About: If you need caring, compassionate, reliable, loving service for your furry sweethearts I am available to make them the center of attention. With me they get a bit of a holiday themselves. My work takes me oceanside for extended periods: so when I’m available to house/pet sit for you, I am devoted to all their needs. Presently I am auntie to several cats and dogs that for more than a decade I have been house/pet sitting. I have also cared for horses, goats, chickens, geese and peacocks. I love learning animal’s individual personalities and ingratiating myself in to their familial pack. In my life I have owned a German Shepherd, a Malinois and a Husky as well as numerous cats. I grew up walking the dog, so I prefer to exercise the canines regularly. Playtime for everyone will include some brushing. I have no problems giving oral medications or injections. And I have cared for sick animals of my own as well as others. My entry in to your home will be with complete respect, integrity and detailed consideration. My references will tell you how I am attentive not only to your pets but your home: be it garden or plant care, and most especially having your home be as if you had never left upon your return.

About: Taking care of pets has been apart of my life for many years. I love them! I have been boarding puppies and adult dogs for family and neighbors. I have breeded dogs and have sold many healthy puppies. Pet care is a daily routine for me as I am a pet owner myself. Pet walking is a every day thing for me and my dog I have one on one care for the pets they are in the home with me on the couch or floor.The pet is put on a leash for potty breaks. If I am boarding a pet the pet sleeps in a cage inside my home.

About: I am a 23 year old young-professional and dog mom who has a passion and love for pets. I have two pit mixes and a kitty who are my world! I just recently moved to Winston-Salem for my job; I work 8:30-5 Mon-Fri, but outside of that I really have a lot of free time. I am hoping to become a reliable weekend, afternoon and occasional holiday sitter for family’s in the Winston area. I have sat for many family’s pets in the past, as well as I grew up helping my mom run her in-home pet care business. I also have volunteered at local animal shelters for 10+ years and have fostered in the past as well. I have plenty of experience with small and big dogs and cats; however, big dogs certainly have the key to my heart. I am looking forward to caring for your fur babies! I am currently working Mon-Fri 8:30-5pm but have a lot of free time outside of that. I am hoping to become a reliable afternoon, weekend and occasional holiday sitter in the Winston area. I adapt my care based of each pets individual needs and personality’s. I have two large pit bulls (and a cat!), so I understand the balance of long walks, playtime and rest! Whatever your pet may need, I am here to make sure they are taken care of.

About: I’ve taken care of, looked after, and had my own fur babies for over 15 years. Nothing makes me happier than getting to play, love, and just take in all the love a dog has to offer. My life would be incomplete if it weren’t for fur babies! I currently am not working at the moment so my schedule during the week is pretty open and flexible. I am here for all your pet needs. Right now I have a fenced in backyard where I care for my two fur babies. We have tons of toys as well as treats that we love sharing.

“Dave was great and was very accommodating with my last-minute request. My dog is pretty shy with new people and he managed to get her to go out (that’s a big deal). I really appreciated Dave’s quick responses and the pictures! I will definitely reach out to him in the future.”

About: My daughter and I grew up helping take care of dogs and have been around them for as long as we can remember. We’ve looked after our own dogs as well as those of friends and family. There has never been a year in our lives without a dog in it, and we truly can’t imagine life without one! I currently work full time as a 2nd grade teacher, but I’m available for boarding, doggie day care, walking, dropping in, or playing with your dog during the week and on the weekends. My 17 year old daughter will be assisting as she absolutely loves dogs too. Our house is in a neighborhood. We currently have one dog who is a morkipoo and is very playful and loves other dogs. We are able to crate your dog if needed.

About: I, absolutely, adore animals! I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and kids! Maybe this is what prompted me to become a teacher... Fortunately, I have had the opportunity to home multiple rescued dogs and love them until the very end. I have about 15+ years of watching my pets as well as others' under my belt. I have experience with puppies, disabled pets, administering medication, active dogs as well as senior dogs. I currently do not have any animals or children so all of my attention would be on your pet! This is something that comes so easy to me as I am an avid lover of animals. I have a very flexible schedule and am available seven days a week, including weekends and overnight stays. I’m happy to accommodate daytime visits, walks, drop-ins, and sleepovers based on your pet’s normal routine. I also have reliable transportation, which allows me to travel to clients’ homes easily and be flexible with scheduling. Whether your pet needs a quick visit, extended care, or an overnight stay, I’m happy to work with you to make sure they receive consistent, dependable care. I live in a pet-friendly complex with a beautiful courtyard that provides a great outdoor space for walks and potty breaks. While I do have a balcony, pets are never given access to it while in my care, and the door remains securely locked at all times. Inside my home, pets are welcome to get comfortable and make themselves at home—including on the couch! I understand that accidents can happen, especially when pets are adjusting to a new environment, and I’m always patient and understanding. For overnight stays, I do ask that you bring your pet’s bed or another familiar sleeping item to help them feel comfortable. They will never be expected to sleep alone and are more than welcome to sleep in my room with me. I’ve found that staying nearby can help ease nerves and make being away from home a little less stressful. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m completely comfortable with indoor cameras and understand how important it is to feel confident about who is caring for both your pet and your home. I will always treat your home with the same care and respect that I give my own. Above all, my goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and at home while they’re in my care.

“Valerie was extremely professional and kind. My pup has been cooped up in the house and needing some out time. She came in and allowed my dog to get familiar with her before letting her out. She was quick to respond and informative as well. I will definitely be booking again!”

About: I have cared for animals for years, especially during the holidays when owners travel out of town. I have experience with a variety of pets including dogs, cats, guinea pigs and hedgehogs. I am a licensed massage therapist running my own business but when I don’t have appointments scheduled at the office, I am at home, willing to help out other working pet parents I currently have a shy beagle mix who gets anxious around other people and animals. For his comfort, I am currently only caring for animals at the client’s home.

About: I started off pet sitting small I had two regular customers. I would watch two cats for one and a dog for another. I have always owned a dog or cat. And would watch close friends and families pets. Then took the leap of faith and start with Rover. I do take same day bookings as long as I'm not full. I do stay busy have a few repeat clients already. I will work with you 100% and communicate 100%. Being reliable is key and communication is key. Daily routine for dogs or cats that are being boarded. Cats will always be in a safe designated area away from dogs if they are boarded. They get fed in the morning and evening normally 8am and 5pm or whatever the client wants. They go potty really early and throughout the day and their last potty break is normally around 10-11pm. They pretty much do whatever and just have a great time playing with other pets and making them feel at home. They are allowed on beds and furniture. You will always get updates daily and pictures. They will go on walks also. Now in home visits is whatever you as the client wants. I leave it up to you. Normally they get spoiled and loved on and go outside fed whatever you need. They also get very spoiled and pampered while being boarded. Safety and cleanliness is my top priority. I slowly and monitor every dogs behavior that is staying just to make sure they all get along. I always feed each dog separately as some are food aggressive. Your dogs bowls get clean after each meal and sent home clean. Floors get sanitized each day and vacuumed. Their dog toys, blankets and dog beds get washed before they leave so they are nice and clean. Dog poop gets picked up out of the yard daily. I do have indoor and outdoor cameras to monitor the dogs if gone.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs. I have experience caring for puppies and elderly dogs. I have an Aussie doodle puppy. I’m available for drop ins, walks, or sittings. I have a flexible schedule and will be available the majority of the day to care of your pets. If I have to leave during boardings, it will be only for short periods of times which will be communicated to you. I live in an apartment with plenty of space and a dog park. There is a nice neighborhood and park nearby for walks. For sittings at your home, I will respect your space and keep it clean. I have a puppy at home, so I am unable to stay at your home overnight. I will update you with as many photos or videos you’d like!

“Got to my house early and stayed late to make sure they went potty - thankful for Amaya!”
