Dog Walking Monkton

About: I bring a combination of reliability, experience, and genuine love for animals that sets me apart from other sitters. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets with special needs. I am trained in providing medication administration, gentle handling for anxious pets, and creating structured routines to keep pets happy and healthy. My attention to detail ensures that every pet receives individualized care, and I communicate regularly with owners to give updates and peace of mind. Whether it’s playtime, training support, or senior pet care, I tailor my approach to meet each animal’s unique needs. I work full-time during the weekdays, but I am available evenings and on weekends to provide care for your pets. During these times, I dedicate focused attention to feeding, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I can follow your pet’s specific routines and make sure they receive the care and interaction they need while maintaining a structured schedule that keeps them happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and happy. I follow feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, engage in playtime and exercise, and offer plenty of affection and attention. When caring for pets in the client’s home, I treat the space and pets with respect, following all owner instructions carefully. I maintain routines as directed, ensure pets have fresh water and food, and provide companionship and exercise. I also keep the owner updated with regular messages or photos, so they feel confident their pets are safe and well-cared for while they’re away.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs for most of my life, and have done some dogsitting and dog walking before. I’ll admit it’s been a bit since I had to focus on school work for my psych degree, but now that I have to wait till fall for grad school, I figured now is the time to help out some furry friends! I’m an animal lover at heart and am not only interested in, but willing to help with any accommodations! Our pets deserve the best after all! :) I only have class on Monday afternoons, but sadly the rest of my schedule is pretty up in the air right now. I tend to be more of a night owl so I can help cats when they’re more active at night. I tend to work best with detailed instructions. I don’t want to disturb any routine and want the animal to feel as comfortable as possible.

“You are awesome!! Thank you for taking such good care of my little boy. The way you tuned in to Nash is so appreciated. He is crazy about you!!!”

“Elvis is doing weekly walks twice a week with our dog. He does a great job and Bodie loves him. He always sends pictures to keep us updated and takes Bodie on long and varied walks. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had dogs all my life, I currently have 4 dogs in my family home, one of them being solely mine! I have always loved them so much and trained all my dogs all the tricks and such they know. I had been a volunteer at the humane society of Catawba valley for 4 years when I was in college and that is now how I have my rescue, Bella. I am constantly donating to animal organizations and also fostered 3 puppies about 3 years ago. I am now fostering dogs for a rescue until they get adopted and I love it so much. I dog sit friends and families dogs all the time and they are always very pleased! Your dog will love being and playing with me I promise! They will be in the best care possible and I will attend to any special needs as well! I like to know any behavioral / aggressive tendencies as well so I can make your pet as happy and as comfortable as possible! : )

“This was Connor's first visit with our girls Kiwi and Rio. He was on time, followed protocols and communicated promptly. Very happy about all 3 of those things! We have scheduled another visit soon.”

About: I have owned all sorts of pets my whole life. I love dogs, cats, amphibians, reptiles, fish and small mammals. I would love to show your pet some love. I am a homeschooling, stay at home mom of 3 older kids. I can do any time of the day or night. Our schedule is flexible to your needs. We live in a wooded area which is great for dog walks. We are able to provide your fur baby with lots of love and enrichment. Small mammals and reptiles are welcome to stay at our house.

About: I've cared for dogs my entire life as an owner. Ive had small dogs, terriers, and their strong will and playfulness to large dogs, ie German Shepard, and their willfulness and loyalty. I love them all and understand how to build trust with a pet. Ive also become a cat owner to tow boys bringing our home pack to 2 dogs and 2 cats. Currently I have a flexible schedule for drop ins during the day or evening. I am glad to feed them, play, and take out for breaks. Available any day except Sundays. Our home has invisible fence and our dogs are trained to remain in the years. We have also had fenced yards in the past. I can and do walk smaller dogs.

About: I've grown up around animals (cats, dogs, & snakes) and actively cared for them for as long as I can remember! I currently own 2 cats and foster three more, one of whom has special needs. My partner and I also have a room full of fish tanks, both fresh and saltwater, so finned friends are no problem. I have owned reptiles previously, so I am open to a wide variety of pets (or plants) in all shapes and sizes. My availability is very open, since pet-sitting is my primary job. Weekends or weekdays work equally well for me. I will structure my schedule around whatever pet I am house-sitting for, to give you the peace of mind that they're healthy and happy while you aren't home. Each animal is unique— I love spending quality time with them so I can get to know their individual personalities and quirks. I enjoy putting in the extra effort to earn their trust. I am experienced with elderly pets, and can give medications if necessary. I can help maintain long-haired pets' coats. I have seen all sorts of pet-related messes, and I have no problem cleaning them up. I will gladly learn the needs of each pet, and adapt to make them as comfortable as possible while you're away!

“Erin is nice and friendly. She will always make sure your pet is taken care of before hand.”

About: I am a dog owner myself, so I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and caring look after your furry family members. I love dogs and enjoy giving them attention, affection, exercise, and playtime. I am patient, responsible, and dependable, and I understand that every dog has its own personality and needs. I will treat your pets like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you are away. I have a flexible schedule and can work with pet parents to accommodate their needs. I am available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care, depending on scheduling. I am happy to discuss weekdays and evenings to find a schedule that works best for you and your pet. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel at home. As a dog owner myself, I understand the importance of keeping pets supervised, comfortable, and happy. I have two friendly dogs and will always make sure introductions are handled carefully. I can follow your pet's feeding schedule, daily routine, and special instructions. I want every pet in my care to feel loved, secure, and treated like family!

About: I’ve had my own dogs for as long as I can remember and in addition to that, family and friends always come to me first when they’re in need of someone to care for their pets. I do not consider my own pets as a simple house animal, I refer to them as my children and I will have the same care and affection towards your fur babies I am available 24/7. I can attend to your pets needs 7 days a week and I have a very flexible schedule I am always open to working around any schedule so please feel free to reach out. I care for pets in my clients home by making sure I am aware of what they are doing at all times to ensure their safety.

“She was outstanding with my schnoodle who seems to be afraid of everybody. I would 100% use her again and recommend her to other people.”

“Thank you so much for taking care of River once again. My dad called and told me how awesome you are. River can be a lot but he has taken to you and he listens! You always go over and beyond. Im also jealous of your picture taking skills while catching River in motion. Lol”

About: I have grown up with having dogs as pets my whole life. I grew up on a farm so I have experience in caring for livestock as well. I have a very flexible schedule this summer including weekdays and weekends as I am home from college for summer break. Please feel free to reach out! I have been around many types of dogs so I have experience with all types. Based on what the owner wants to be done/ the dogs needs I’m happy to help.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. My childhood cat lived to 22, and I grew up with Golden Retrievers, including helping care for a litter of puppies. I also worked as an assistant manager at a large pet daycare facility and now have two rescue dogs of my own. I’m very active and love walking, so I’m happy to give dogs plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention based on their needs. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I work part-time in a flexible office role and can also work remotely, while I am building my real-estate career. That gives me the ability to plan my schedule around walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime, and staying consistent with each pet’s routine. In my home, pets are treated like family. I have a fenced yard, a large back porch, a walkable neighborhood, and a park nearby for walks and playtime. My two rescue dogs are used to sharing the furniture, so visiting pets will have plenty of comfortable places to relax and feel at home. In a client’s home, I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, medication instructions, and any house rules—while keeping you updated with photos and messages. As a former college coach and admissions counselor, I have spent most of my career in trusted, responsibility-heavy roles, and I bring that same attentiveness and care to every pet.

“Alicia was very responsive, professional, and courteous. Our dog was in a great mood when we got home. We will definitely ask for her services again 👍🏼”

About: I’m currently training to be a therapist so I have a keen sense for emotions… pets included! I’ve dog sat for family numerous times and am hoping to branch out. I love being around animals, am a very easy guest, and will happily send you any pictures of your pets! I have class 1-9pm on Monday and Wednesday but am mostly free otherwise! I get up early to swim twice a week (Fri and Sat), but can go straight back if needed. I don’t do much, so I’m pretty open! I’m willing to do whatever I can to help the pet feel safe and welcomed. Whether they want to play, rest, eat, or walk, I’m happy to help them out!

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have cared for pets of my own/family owned pets since I was a teenager, including turtles, cats, dogs, hamsters, and even rats. I attempted fostering dogs but fell in love with my first foster and ended up adopting him 🤣❤️🐶 I’ve had experience caring for animals of all ages, from young to old, tiny to large. Love them all! Taking shelter dogs for a “dogs day out” has been one of my favorite activities recently. This activity allows me to take a dog from BARCS out for the day hiking, socializing, and getting them seen by possible adopters! Recently gained experience caring for dogs with medical conditions, including diet restrictions, medication administration, and managing feeding tubes. I’m currently working as a RN 3days a week. I only schedule services on days that I am not working in order to devote all my time and attention to your pets I have experience caring for older and younger pets, medication administration, separation anxiety, high to low energy pets. My basic philosophy is to treat every pet the way I would want my own treated!
