Dog Walkers in Lake Park, NC

“I can’t say enough good things about Tania! She responded to my last-minute request and was incredibly accommodating. She even took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand, which immediately put me and my 12-year-old pup at ease. Tania was patient, kind, and clearly has a natural love for animals. She took her on a nice long walk and gave her all the care and attention she needed. It’s rare to find someone so reputable, reliable, and genuinely compassionate. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again—highly recommended!”

About: Years ago, my mother and I owned a boarding kennel and I was a professional groomer. Now I am semi-retired and loving spending time with furry friends! I am familiar with all breeds and love them all! We have always had a pet in our home and would love to provide care while you have to be away. I currently work outside the home for a partial day on Mondays. Other than errands and appointments, I am home all day to interact with your fur baby! Should an emergency come up, I am available. All our furry guests are treated like family. We have a large fenced in yard with no steps for the older fur babies. We own a cat that pretty much keeps to herself. We are good with pets of all ages and understand they all need different levels of care. We are empty nesters, so have the time and energy to keep up with any needs your pet may have. With the exception of Mondays, someone is home all day to provide personal care and supervision for your pet. Mondays Alice works outside the home for a partial day and pets would need to be left alone for 4-6 hours, or she would need to be able to bring your pet (only one) to work with her. Both Alice and Don love animals and provide a nurturing and loving environment for your pet in their home with regular potty breaks in their fenced in back yard.

“Erica is AMAZING. She is so good with our dog and definitely keeps him active! She really maintains our training regimen and enforces what we’ve been working on with the dog. She’s our new go-to for walks and exercise!”

“Elsie is wonderful and our dog looks forward to his weekly time with her! She is friendly, communicative and is a real life saver for our family!”

About: I’ve cared for pets for decades! I’ve cared for cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, rats, bunnies, and more! I’ve cared for all ages and needs levels of dogs and cats. I’ve cared for anxious pets who won’t eat and laid-back let’s who just want cuddles! All animals welcome! Over the summer in free quite a bit! I will have a few things planned here or there but I’m super flexible. During the school year, evenings and weekends are best. I live in an apartment so having your pets in my home will be more difficult but not impossible. I would prefer your home because the pets will be more comfortable and relaxed! Providing the best environment for your pets is my priority.

I am highly comfortable administering medications (oral pills and topical treatments) and have experience working with all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I look forward to treating your fur baby like my own! I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of free time and a highly flexible schedule to love, walk, and care for your pets. Because of my routine, I specialize in: Early morning check-ins Mid-day walks and visits Evening drop-in visits Overnight pet sitting To see my specific openings, please check out my Rover Calendar. Every visit or stay is fully customized to your pet’s exact needs. My standard routine includes attentive potty breaks, feeding and fresh water, and engaging enrichment/playtime. I am also fully equipped to maintain a clean environment, including scooping litter boxes, misting cages, and safely administering prescribed oral or topical medications. To ensure we're the perfect fit for each other, I require a brief, complimentary meet and greet before finalizing any bookings. This gives us a chance to go over routines and allows me to meet your precious fur babies! ❤️ Please let me know what days work best for you.

About: I have had a passion since I was little. Started with volunteering at animal shelters, ended up training abused rescues. Wanted an easy job that involves my passion of helping and understanding animals. I do have part time work for a couple places including the school system. But I have more than enough time to take in extra animal care. I do have a fenced yard but we have a current dog with behavior issues. I always use a leash and maintain cleanliness and safety at others homes!

“Carly is very conscientious, arrives on time & takes lots of photos while she & Jasper are out for a walk. I will definitely use her again.”

About: I have been dog sitting since I was 11 years old. I’ve grown up with always having a dog in my home. I genuinely love dogs and always want to make sure that not only are the dogs comfortable in my home, but that the owners feel comfortable leaving their little love ones over. I am patient and reliable. If your dog is use to a certain schedule I will take it upon myself to make sure that it’s not to much averted from. Aside from walking, your little one will be able to enjoy my big fenced backyard where they can run around freely and play catch! My main goal is to make sure that my home feels as close to home as it can get to your dog. My whole family are animal lovers, and I promise your dog will get a lot of love and attention. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to let me know.

About: Our family has always been animal lovers. We have had lots of different types.

About: I have cared for many pets over the past 30 years (dogs in the past decade). Pets hold a very special place in our hearts and in our lives, and often times help is required. I am here to offer help so that you, your family, and pets can all thrive. Extra love and praises are always included!

About: I was pre-vet in college, which is where my love for dogs began. I have since been training dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes over the past 5+ years! I have handled wild ones, tame ones, spicy ones and old ones and I love them all like they’re my own! I can be very very flexible most days, sometimes, with same day availability, so don’t hesitate to ask! I’m most open every other Monday, every Friday-Sunday, but most other days, I’ve got flexibility- I am mostly a stay at home mom, so I’ll just need a little heads up to drop my kid off with a sitter 😊 I have a fenced in yard and a garage that I pull in to so when transporting, the dog is never free roaming. I always transport dogs in crash- tested crates, to be extra safe and I have a room in my home, specifically for crating and rotating dogs!

About: I have taken care of and pet sat mat dogs of different sizes from a big German shepherd to a tinny little Chihuahua so there is no dog to big or to small for me to take care of I just graduated high school and am applying to college but I won’t be able to go until next year so until then I’ll be free the whole year unless my family needs me When it comes to taking care of any pets even my own I make sure to keep them on the same schedule they are used to as to make sure they don’t get stressed I also make sure to set alarms for set feeding times of any animal I watch over as well as playing with them and taking them out to use the bath room as needed I also will make sure that if I pet sit over night at someone’s house that the house will be perfectly clean when they come back and that there animal will be happy no matter what.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for family and friends since I was 12 years old. I would feed, play, cuddle, and walk the pets to ensure they were well taken care of. I watch them as if they are my own since I know how important our pets are to us. I’ve had pit bulls, Rottweilers, labs and cats as pets and fosters. I am currently working as a server and host part time while attending school, so pet care would be my primary responsibility for my weekly routine. I have a lab named Luna who loves to meet new friends if your pet needs a playmate when you are away. I will also be able to walk, wash, cuddle, or play with your pet as long as you need to make sure they are safe and cared for.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. My most recent pup was very high-energy and required daily stress-reducing exercises, which gave me hands-on experience in keeping active dogs both happy and balanced. Before that, I cared for a blue pit with severe allergies who needed daily medication, so I’m also very comfortable supporting pets with special needs and extra routines. Through it all, I’ve learned that every dog deserves patience, consistency, and plenty of love. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities. On a personal note, I’m currently saving for my wedding, which makes me extra grateful for every family who trusts me with their four-legged loved ones—it’s an honor I don’t take lightly. I work from home full time, which means I can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. If I’m dog sitting or dog boarding at mine, you can feel confident knowing someone will always be home with your pup. I’m available for dog sitting and dog boarding any day of the week, and I can also provide drop-in visits after 4:00 p.m. on Fridays as well as all day on Saturdays and Sundays. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust to each pet’s needs, whether that’s extra walks, playtime, or cuddles. When pets are in my home, I make sure they feel like part of the family. They’ll have a safe, comfortable space, plenty of playtime, and lots of love and attention throughout the day since I work from home. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible—whether that’s mealtime, walks, or quiet time—so they feel secure and at ease. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with respect while keeping their pets on the same schedule they’re used to. I provide regular updates and photos so you know your furry family member is happy and well cared for at all times.
