Dog Walkers in McGrady, NC

“Rick is a kind, nurturing guy and who is passionate about animals and nature. He is intuitive, and seems to naturally anticipate the needs of the pets he's caring for. I've seen him shine with my dog, as well as with his own companion animals. He is careful and pays great attention to detail, all while keeping his focus on the happiness and well-being of his furry friends. He's a fantastic caregiver!”

“Alex has watched my dogs several times. He is always very helpful and involved with them. He doesn't just come in, take them out, feed them and leave. You can definitely tell he is an animal person. We have moved 2 hours away and hope that he will drive to watch our dogs here. We would 100% be ok with him spending multiple days in our home.”

“Holiday week and work is crazy! Meredith walked porter 1.1 miles and gave him a much needed break. Thank you Meredith! I liked the pics of my dog during the walks, and I appreciated that Meredith was willing to come visit Porter a few days before walking him to let him get to know her.”

“Destiny lives down the street from me and she watches my dog luna while I’m out of town or working a long shift. Luna absolutely loves her and she is great with her. She doesn’t just come and let her outside and feed her but she spends time playing with her and showing her some love while I’m not there. Destiny is very dependable and trustworthy. When I go out of town she will even stay the night at my house to make luna feel more comfortable. She is such a sweet animal lover.”

“Kitty is a dog whisperer. One of my two dogs is very shy and anxious. When Kitty arrived to take them for a walk, even after not having seen her in months, both dogs ran to her. I feel completely confident that the dogs are happy and well taken care of when I have either boarded with Kitty or had her take them for walks.”

About: I’ve helped to take care of both of my parents cats as well as mini labradoodle! As of April I’ve officially been a dog mom for a year! I have a 1 year old lab pit and she is my absolute life! I also help my sister take care of her kittens. I am available all days of the week at any time! I can fit to your pets needs however they may be. I have a wide open schedule! I am currently in college living on campus so I wouldn’t be able to house the pups but I am available to visit your home whenever necessary and walk/ feed/ play with your pups!!

“Karli took amazing care of my 4 dogs while I was on a 2 week trip. I came back to the house being cleaner than when I left and she sent me plenty of updates to ensure they were well taken care of. She did a great job and I will definitely book again for my upcoming trips.”

“Samantha has continually done a fantastic job pet sitting for us. We feel completely comfortable and confident leaving our pets with her. She loves and cares deeply for all the pets she watches and her clients.”

“Suzanne is a God send. She has a wonderful way with all dogs. At home my dogs bark at each other but don’t with Suzanne. She has a way with dog issues and training. Thank you for being a great dog sitter and a wonderful person. She loves my dogs and they love her.”

“Elizabeth had been absolutely fantastic taking care of Tater! He can be a difficult dog to deal with and she’s handled him with excellent grace. I will absolutely book her as often as she’s available!”

About: **Please note I am disabled and hard of hearing. I will always prefer texts over phone calls. **Check out what your babies get up to and the pictures/videos I didn’t end up sending on our Facebook or Instagram page, Zig Zag Wag pet care! I have experience with a variety of animals, including dogs and cats, horses and livestock, rodents and reptiles, and everything from basic grooming including nail trims and baths to basic behavior training. (See safety section for further details) I have experience with basic first aid. I have pretty much free and short notice availability, thought I limit bookings on WEDNESDAYS and SUNDAYS as my days off. I have a whole zoo worth of pets and need to stop by my own house throughout the day, so any house sitting will be based on regular visits. I have reliable transportation and excellent driving skills in case of needing to transport. My vehicle has a crash tested seat belt and I have a few crash tested harnesses if you do not have one, though providing your own sized for your dog is preferred. I will not provide transport for animals other than cats or dogs and cats and small dogs must be tolerant of being crated for the ride. I am great at working with your schedule with at least 2 hours notice, but Rover does not allow easy schedule changes. If you need to reduce your visits, CANCEL the booking and REBOOK with your new dates, as once Rover confirms your booking it won’t let you reduce the current rate. In your home, I offer basic cleaning services and can ensure any messes get cleaned. I can meet many varied needs and am meticulous with following your house rules for your pets. I do not offer boarding or allow client pets at my home. I will not provide food or other consumables, though I will confirm what treats your pets can have because all good pets deserve treats. I provide basic behavior assistance such as teaching your dog that jumping on people is inappropriate, basic tricks (sit, down, paw), leash manners, but I DO NOT OFFER PAID TRAINING. I am not a certified trainer in any capacity, though I have trained many of my own animals (including rats and cats!)

“Calli has been my go-to sitter for every vacation! I have a Great Dane, pit bull terrier, and a cat. All three of them absolutely adore her and even our cat, who hates EVERYONE, loves Calli. She’s always reliable and I can always count on her to love on my babies while I’m away.”

“Jaszmyn was so great; very communicative and really intentional with Pip!”

“There isn’t a person I’ve met with such a tender heart and loving intentions. She has the gentle touch and mindset of a Disney princess and strives to fill that role with animals.”

About: I am a Las Vegas native that throughout my whole life dogs have always been a part of my everyday activity. Whether it be taking care of my own throughout my childhood or at the age of 15, starting to take care of other people's furry little friends. I have always had a love for being around and taking care of them. I started caring for dogs at a young age for a family friend, walking, feeding, and just loving on them, and by word of mouth was referred by them to someone else and then to someone else and the process continued. It definitely gives me satisfaction to know I am there caring for someone's pet and that they don't have to worry about their dog child/children being taken care of and getting the love that they would be getting as if they were home. I think the golden rule works for them as well. Take care of someone else's dog the way you would want your dog to be taken care of.

“Pam did a great job checking on our dog. She sent pictures and text messages during the visits. We hope to use her again in the near future.”

“Paige has been such a reliable and outstanding dog walker for my husband and I. She is always prompt and even able to help with my last minute requests. Our pups trust her! I would highly recommend using her services.”

“Mary loves her dog and treats him with the utmost care. She is a very lovable person and has cared for my cat and goats many times while I was away. She would make a great dog carer. Carolyn”

“Kelsey is amazing with my dogs. I never worry about anything while she is there and knowing my dogs are well taken care of means so much. She is a true animal lover and you can tell by how much the dogs get excited to see her. She keeps you posted about everything that’s happening and how often you want. I would recommend Kelsey to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!!!!”
