Dog Walkers in Mount Vernon, NC

“Emily was such a great help! We needed someone to walk our dog while we were away for a wedding and our pup Lou was happy and healthy when we returned. This was our first time working with Emily, but she coordinated a meet and greet earlier in the week to meet us and get the details for taking care of Lou. We will definitely use Emily again in the future!”

About: I’ve taken dog training courses over the years. I did dog rescue; I had sick dogs, litters of puppies and dogs of all sizes in my home while raising my children and my dogs. I've done house sitting, walking, training for dogs and cats for years when I lived in California. I'm excited to meet you and your pets. I am comfortable with but not limited too walking, training, medication administration and always the addition of cuddles and love. I work for myself and work my own hours so I can always work around your schedule. I love the outdoors, nature and getting my steps in. When your pet is in my house, they'll be treated as a family member. If you prefer to crate your pet I can do that or create my dog. Pet safety is top priority at all times.

About: Hi! I’m Bri! I’ve lived with animals my whole life! I pet sit for lots of friends! I’ve trained all my dogs on my own! I grew up in a house hold with lots of dogs and cats. I’ve learned over the years basic training for dogs. I’ve had dogs and cats from all ages! I pet sit for lots of my friends when they travel! I will love and care for them like they are my own! I currently work at a warehouse, full time. But I’m off by 2pm. I work Sunday-Thursday and off Fridays and Saturdays for more needs if needed. Let me know if your pet needs extra things if they’re sick or have lots of energy and need lots of play time and comfort. Let me know any special things about them that they love and don’t love so I’m aware.

About: Hi! My name is Desaree and I have been caring for dogs for 10 years. I have always owned 2 dogs and I’ve had cat experience from being around some of my family who owns them. I love every dog and cat I see. I love taking them for walks, playing with toys, and giving them some good ole’ TLC and belly rubs. I have always had a connection with dogs and I understand their body language very well. I am willing to text you with updates on how your pet is doing and send you pictures of them so you know that your baby is safe and happy. I look forward to meeting you all and getting to hang out with your babies! Thank You! I work part-time, so I'm very flexible with hours/days. I'm available on the weekends. I am willing to bath and brush your pets. I am also very familiar with reptiles and small animals! I can give medication to pets if needed. Thanks for stopping by and checking me out! I love to interact with animals, so we will play and cuddle a bunch! I respect shy animals and their space. I am willing to send picture updates if needed! I understand how it feels to be away from your fur babies and wanting to make sure they are safe! :)

About: I have been around dogs and cats my entire life. I am confident and comfortable with all ages and temperaments. Growing up, I cared for multiple pets at once (dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, etc.) I also spent time helping out on farms. Therefore, I am no stranger to routine, responsibility or muddy paws! What truly sets me apart is that my mom is a veterinarian, which gives me 24/7 access to expert guidance if an emergency or health question/concern arises. In addition, during my Marine Corps service, I have done dog sitting at the U.S. Embassy in Botswana, where dependability was key. I am currently pursuing my master's degree in cybersecurity. Therefore, I am currently dedicating my time to my studies, which affords me the freedom to care for your pets anytime. Pet safety is my top priority. Whether I am watching your pets in your home or caring for them in mine, I keep all harmful foods and household items out of reach. Additionally, we only use veterinarian-approved treats and toys (with a vet in the family, I don't guess when it comes to safety). Your pets will get plenty of supervised playtime and outdoor activity, along with a calm structured environment to help them feel more at home. I am very respectful in others' homes and will always follow your care instructions to the letter, including feeding, routines, and any special needs or quirks.

About: I have grown up around all types of pets. In my childhood I rescued multiple dogs and our family rescued many, many, cats! I am very loving and caring and I treat every pet as it is my own. I like to first get to know them to see if I’d even be a good match for your pawesome friend! I have trained some dogs as puppies, taught them the basics as well as potty trained them. I am very flexible with my availability! I would love to get to know your furry friend and be apart of their world♥️ I’m currently looking for some side gigs to fill up my time.. I couldn’t think of a more awesome way to do it than to be around pets! Making your pets comfortable and happy is my top priority! I like to let animals be animals and do what they like to do. Caring for pets has always been one of my favorite things to do. I can’t remember a time where I didn’t own a pet.

About: I managed an upscale Dog and Cat boarding for over eight years. I have experience grooming, training, administering medication/shots, obedience training, playtime, walks, feeding, scooping poop, etc. I’ve been a dog owner of many different breeds for over 35 years. My husband and I own a DOG FRIENDLY Airbnb in Wisconsin. You know I am obsessed with my dogs and other people’s dogs because when you look at my photos on my phone it’s all dog pictures. love all dog breeds and enjoy spending quality time with dogs. Dogs are my soulmates. I am retired and my schedule is very flexible. I am available to stop by for daily walking, playtime, feeding, cuddles, administering medication, and much more. I enjoy long walks, cuddling dogs, play-time, and making your dog feel loved. Safety is my priority with the care of your dog. I will care for your dog as I would care for my own dogs- love, caring and special bonding.

About: My name is Zach and my wife and I have 3 dogs of our own. We live on several acres with between 2 and 3 of those acres fenced in. We love dogs and often watch our friends and family’s dogs when they travel. 2 of our dogs are around 45 lbs and our big baby Dane mix is 115 lbs but is a gentle giant. They all love making new friends. My wife’s family has several smaller dogs so we can accommodate for smaller friends as well and separate everyone as needed. Our property has a mixture of natural wooded areas as well as green grass for your furry buddies to roam wild and free! I work from home so my routine is pretty straight forward. I get up and let the dogs out first, then feed and let them out again. We let them rest for a bit before heading back out around lunch to play awhile. A nice afternoon nap and then back out before dinner. And once more before bedtime. We treat every dog that comes to our house like our own. We have a downstairs den area with couches and chairs where we keep visitors. Unless told, we let dogs free roam that room and live life like they would in their own home. We do not crate or cage any dogs unless that is something you are wanting.

About: I work as a Kennel Technician taking care and loving the dogs who have been pulled from kill shelters to rehabilitate them, so we are able to relocate them and find them good homes. I also worked with my Uncle on his ranch with his rescue dogs and other farm animals. In the near futuer I will be going back to school to study Zoology. I've been around dogs and cats my entire life. I have a strong love for animals and I'm a very patient person. I know how to treat them the way they should be treated. I'd like to think I'm amazing at what I do and not only am I great with animals but I love working with them. I will love your dogs and take care of them just as I do my own!

About: Hello! I have been taking care of my neighbors dogs for 3 years now and I like to ensure they are cared for and happy!

I am a full time rover sitter so I am free the whole rest of the day for walks, baths and giving your pet my absolute full attention! Whatever the owner is comfortable with, I have a huge backyard, the dog can be crated or can be in a certain room in the house.

About: I have over seven years of experience in animal care. I have experience in caring for every day needs, as well as emergency pet care.

About: I've been around and cared for pets for over 15 years so I have lots of experience. I’m very playful and nurturing so they will have plenty of love and attention even when away from you. I work in fundraising in elementary and middle schools, so I am on a teacher’s schedule. However, that means I have full availability during the summer to take care of as many fur babies as needed! I have a large back yard so they have room to run. I also have a little dog who loves company so your baby won’t ever feel alone.

“Melissa was so good with my big boy Duke! I enjoyed the photos and notes about Duke she sent to me with each walk and feed. Will be booking with Melissa again in the future!”

About: Hello from Katie! Moved here from the Midwest about a year ago! I have owned dogs my whole life and couldn't imagine life without them. I worked at the dog kennel next to my house growing up and learned how to give exceptional care to dogs of all sizes. I have since worked full time at a horse farm and love animals all shapes and sizes. I have two dogs of my own that are my babies. I will enjoy my time with your dog and make sure they enjoy their time with me. After working full time I know how stressful it can be to make sure your pet is properly exercised everyday. Your pet will be safe as I make their walk as enjoyable as possible! Please reach out with any questions and concerns you may have.

About: I have had a dog in my life since I was 10 years old. I enjoy training, taking care of and snuggling all of them. I watch family and friends dogs when they are away as well. I will take care of your pup as if they are my own. I work from home Tuesdays and Fridays and am off on weekends. I spend a lot of time at home on the weekends with my own dogs and would love to have another join. I currently have a 1 year old doodle and a 6 year old lab mix. They are super sweet boys who love to play. I have a fenced in yard with all the toys you could imagine. I make sure my pups spend a lot of time outdoors as well as time inside getting loved on.

About: Something that sets me apart from other sitters is that I truly bond with animals and go out of my way to make sure they are comfortable. Not too long ago a hawk hit my car and I pulled over to pick it up and brought it to the NC Raptor Center; they were able to save it and released it a couple weeks later. I have two Mainecoon cats myself that I consider part of the family. I've taught the older one how to play fetch with bottle caps and socks and both cats also come when I call their name! I've walked dogs and house sit cats and dogs for neighbors, friends and family for years. I welcome all dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. For my personal animals, I work 8 hours but take care of my animals at all times besides that! Morning/nightly feeds, constant potty breaks. For clients, I'm available Friday-Sunday all day. The rest of the week 4PM or later but can do morning/nights if needed for extended stays. Because I have so many animals myself, I only do walking/sitting in clients homes/neighborhoods. I don't like to disrupt my animals environment. The same goes for clients animals. I treat them with the same love, respect and attention just like I do with my own. I really am good with watching behavior changes and figuring out a solution! The animals comfort is top priority!
