About: Hi, I’m Maylan! I would love the opportunity to provide dependable, attentive care tailored to your pet’s needs. Whether that’s energetic puppy care, patient senior support, or helping shy pets feel comfortable. I have experience with feeding routines, potty breaks, exercise, and keeping pets calm and comfortable while owners are away. As a college student with a strong passion for animal care, I focus on safety, communication, and treating every pet like family. I have years of experience taking care of my own pets as well as neighbors, friends, and those I had the pleasure of meeting along the way. I am currently working part-time while also in school full time. My time for pets is fairly open and will try my best to find a time that works for all involved. In the clients home I follow each pets normal schedule to make everything run as smoothly as possible and keep them feeling safe and comfortable while their pawrent is away. I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and yard clean up. For drop-in visits and overnight stays the same applies.
About: Hi! My name is Fernanda, and I provide drop-in visits and dog walking in the Lillington area. I've always had a deep love for animals — I'm a dog mom to three myself: Cobain, Moonie, and Jalapeno, a senior dog who showed up at our house last year and never left. Caring for three dogs with very different ages and personalities has taught me to read each dog individually rather than treat care as one-size-fits-all. I understand your pets are members of your family, and my goal is to give them that same love, attention, and safety while you're away. I'm home most of the day, so a visit from me isn't rushed or squeezed in — your dog gets real attention, not just a quick in-and-out. As a dedicated pet parent to my own three dogs, my daily life is entirely built around a structured animal care routine. Because of this, my schedule is highly predictable and reliable. I manage my time carefully to ensure that your pets receive punctual feeding, on-time medication, and consistent potty breaks without disruption. Whether you need early morning check-ins or late evening drop-ins, I am organized, timely, and fully committed to keeping your pet’s normal routine exactly on track. Safety is my absolute highest priority. Managing a diverse three-dog pack with completely different sizes, breeds, and personalities—including a delicate senior dog—means I am hyper-aware of animal body language, stress triggers, and environmental safety. I strictly follow all entry/exit protocols to prevent escape artists from slipping out the door. I am patient, gentle, and highly experienced in tracking slow movements, administering oral medications, and recognizing when a pet needs quiet rest.
“This was Alexis’ first time with my dog Otis and she was a hit. She communicated appropriately and arrived at the time she promised. She provided multiple pictures of the activities and locked my house back up like I asked her to. All around positive experience!”
About: Hi! I love animals and genuinely just want to play with them. If I happen to be able to help someone in the process that’s just a bonus. I’ll take care of them and send you cute pics. I did have a dog with 3 legs, so if you have any disabled or quirks with your pets- I’m happy to accommodate. I’m available all weekend to play with your pet. If they’re energetic and like to run, let me know and we can go for a jog together. I have a large backyard with a fence that’s perfect for zoomies. I also have a dog that’s super friendly and loves to play with other pets.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 12 yrs old. It’s a passion of mine to make sure all animals are cared for and comfortable. I’m currently about to retire and looking to purse my passion walking, visiting, and playing with animals. My schedule is almost always open for anytime. I have a fenced in backyard I have five friendly babies and one cat. I’m open to any service taking care of your babies at your location or mine.
“Erin did a great job caring for our three dogs. She took the time to understand our dogs’s various personalities. She was friendly and very personable. The dogs all warmed up to her. We will definitely ask her sit again.”
About: With over three years of professional experience working at NoDa Bark & Board, Lucky Pup, and Camp Bow Wow, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. My responsibilities included supervising group play, administering medications when needed, feeding, cleaning, monitoring behavior, and ensuring every dog stayed safe and comfortable throughout the day. I’m also Dog and Cat CPR certified, so your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to build trust while providing plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. As of right now, I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week. I’m currently between jobs while waiting to begin graduate school in the spring, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. Toward the end of August, I’ll begin substitute teaching, but my availability will still remain flexible outside of school hours. Whether your pet needs daytime visits, overnight care, or weekend attention, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. Having worked professionally in multiple doggy daycare facilities, I’m experienced in reading canine body language, preventing conflicts, and responding calmly in stressful situations. As a Dog and Cat CPR certified caregiver, I’m prepared to handle emergencies if they ever arise. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and love while keeping owners updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Eric was on time, professional, and my dog adored him. For 30 minutes each day, he walked him and even got on the ground and played with him. I will certainly ask Eric to help out in the future when I need a walker again.”
“My boys can be a bit much when first meeting new people and the two together can be a little overwhelming.. Sandra has really been so good with them and they respond very well with her! We are thankful for her patience and the work she does with them ! Such a blessing for us!”

About: What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I understand that every animal has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to learn what makes your pet feel safe and happy. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I can help reinforce basic training and routines with younger pets, including potty schedules, crate routines, leash manners, and basic commands. For senior pets, I’m comfortable providing slower-paced walks, frequent potty breaks, medication reminders or administration when appropriate, and plenty of gentle attention. I’m dependable, attentive, and focused on keeping your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, playtime, exercise, and companionship—and I’ll keep you updated so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make sure I have plenty of time to give each pet the attention they deserve. I can plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, litter box care, playtime, medication needs, and any special routines your pet is used to. I enjoy spending time with animals, so giving them attention, cuddles, and companionship never feels like a chore. I also make it a priority to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks or potty breaks, litter box cleaning, playtime, medications when needed, and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both your pet and your space. I make sure food and water areas are kept clean, litter boxes or potty areas are maintained, and your pet gets the companionship and exercise they need. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and comfortable environment where pets can relax and receive lots of individual attention. I understand that some pets are social while others may be shy, anxious, or need time to warm up. I always let pets adjust at their own pace and follow any special instructions you provide. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾❤️

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Linden. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
