Dog Walkers in Newton, NC

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for over 15 years, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their dogs as if they were my own. I’m experienced with leash training, giving medications, and keeping dogs active and happy. While dogs are my specialty, I also have years of experience caring for cats, fish, hamsters, and even chickens so I’m comfortable with households that have multiple pets. My priority is making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I work online so I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to pet care. Along with my two boys (ages 10 and 12) who also share a love for animals, your pets will have lots of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available weekdays and weekends, and can adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. I live in a pet-friendly home with a big yard and two friendly dogs who love making new friends. My boys and I are experienced with dogs of all sizes, and we treat every pet like part of the family. I can easily crate your dog if needed, and I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for whether at my home or yours! I also live near an awesome trail.

“Jenny was great with our dogs, especially the poodle who can be skittish. Thank you for taking care of them! We'll be booking with her again.”

About: My mom got me my first dog when I was 10 years old, and it was from then on that I promised to take care of him the best way I knew how. I have experience administering medication (in pill form, liquid, and gel) to both dogs and cats, even when they don’t want to take it. I have also personally trained my dog to sit, lie down, high five, and on accident, I taught him to get up on his hind legs and beg with his front paws. If there is any special care that your animal needs, I would be more than happy to quickly and efficiently learn and adapt to care for your animal the way they deserve. I am currently job searching, so I will be free almost every weekday with exception for surprise obligations that my family often come to me with. I am not available on the weekends, including friday for various extraneous responsibilities. When I first meet an animal, I get down to their level and extend my hand just enough to offer it as an option for them to investigate, but not enough to shove it it their face. I wait until the dog or cat engages with me before I try to pet them on my own to ensure that they feel comfortable and safe. If your animal has separation anxiety, I would be more than happy to comfort them with calming words and gentle hands for pets and snuggles. I will only feed or give your animal a treat if I am told to do so or given the okay beforehand as I do not want to over feed them or give them a treat you have bought without consent.

“I had never used a dog walking service before, but I was in a jam and needed help fast. Holly, Josh, and Grace came through and got me scheduled right away! My dog can be a handful with his crazy zoomies, but they handled him like pros. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in good hands, getting the exercise and attention he needs while I’m at work. I’m so grateful for their flexibility and care—I’ll definitely be booking again!”

About: I’ve had love for dogs my entire life, and currently have a poodle that I trained myself from when she was just a puppy. I also care for two other dogs daily, so I’m very comfortable managing multiple personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding schedules, or just giving extra love and attention, I treat every dog like they’re my own. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine! I take care of my own poodle and two other dogs every day, so walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and cuddle time are already built into my schedule. I have a flexible routine, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and not just “check in” quickly. Whether it’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening care, I make sure each dog gets consistent love, attention, and supervision. Caring for dogs isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize! In a client’s home, I respect your space and stick closely to your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedules, walk times, crate routines, and any special instructions you provide. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes to ensure everything is secure, and I never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I believe in clear communication, so I’ll always send updates and pictures so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with love, patience, and lots of attention!

About: My 7+ years of experience began with a dedicated focus on providing compassionate care for the pets of my family and friends. This has given me an intimate understanding of the trust required to be a great pet sitter. Provided regular, energetic walks to ensure physical and mental stimulation. Organized park visits for safe socialization and off-leash play in designated areas, Offered comprehensive overnight care, maintaining pets' routines and providing a sense of comfort while their owners were away. As a stay-at-home mom with an 8-month-old, my flexible schedule allows me to dedicate my time and attention to your pet's needs. I am able to provide a constant, watchful presence, ensuring your pet feels safe and comfortable throughout the day. I have pets of my own, so I understand firsthand the importance of finding a caregiver who will treat your furry family member with the same love and care you do. Please know that having my child with me will not hinder my ability to provide your pet with all the care and attention they need. My primary focus is on your pet. My day is structured around their feeding schedule, walk times, and playtime. My baby is in a carrier or stroller during walks, allowing me to fully focus on your pet's safety and well-being. During feeding and playtime, I use a playpen or a secure area to ensure my baby is safe and my hands are free to give your pet my undivided attention. To ensure both your pet's and my child's safety, I can ensure they have separate spaces. My child will be in a secure playpen, stroller, or carrier in a designated area of the home while your pet and I are playing, feeding, or training.

“Rilea is a fantastic walker for my Toby. I work part time for an EMS agency and when someone calls in sick there is an urgent need to fill the empty slot.

“This is the first time I have used DogVacay. I've had my puppy, Zaire, for less then a week when I had to trust in Leslie to stop by and check on him. Leslie came through for my puppy and I in the final hour. I found her the day before I needed her help. We did not have the opportunity to meet in person but we spoke on the phone which helped a LOT. Upon her arrival to my place she made sure to let me know she was there, sent me a picture of Zaire, and even cracked a window for Zaire (at my request). I will definitely use her again. Thanks Leslie.”

About: I’m a reliable, caring pet sitter who genuinely loves animals of all kinds — dogs and cats included! I work from home 4/5 days a week, which allows me to provide lots of supervision, companionship, and flexible care. As a Doberman owner myself, I have hands-on experience with strong, intelligent breeds and understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and positive reinforcement. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work full time but from home 4 out of 5 days a week, which gives me flexibility and availability during the day. I’m available for drop-in visits between 11:30 AM–1:00 PM and after 5:00 PM on weekdays, and I’m happy to coordinate care that fits your pet’s schedule. Since I’m home most days, I can provide attentive, consistent care and timely check-ins. I take safety, trust, and respect for your home very seriously. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and stick to your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure, keep food and medications exactly as directed, and monitor for any changes in behavior or health.

About: I've had animals since I was a child and have taken care of them all of my adult life. I have personally fostered over 75 dogs through to their adoptions! I'm a trusted caregiver who can handle animals of all sizes, ages, abilities and temperaments! I love getting to know each animal's personality and how to best take care of them! With several dogs and a cat at home, I am always in pet care mode (and know how important it is to find a trusted sitter). Whether it is a drop-in or a boarding situation, I treat each pet like they are my own. (Also, our cat has his own "wing" of our home so he is not interacting with any visiting dogs.) We have two friendly, large dogs, Tennessee & Tucky who have been foster brothers to over 75 dogs of all sizes and ages. Having fostered so many dogs, I recognize that each animal is unique and I enjoy getting to know their individual personalities and how to best care for them. Whether the animals are in my house or their own, I will follow the owners' instructions and manage expectations so there are as few surprises as possible. I know how worrisome it can be to leave your pet(s) in the care of another, and I pride myself on making sure the animals are taken care of and enjoy themselves.

“Alex is so helpful with walking my dog Zola while I work 12 hr shifts. She is very communicative about everything that happens during the walk and sends lots of great pictures! She spends the whole time with my dog, and Zola is always fulfilled when I come home!”

About: Pets have always been in my life wether it was a stay or adopted. I truly believe that pets depend on family to love them without hesitation. I enjoy being active walking dogs for friends and family. I am currently retired and looking to stay busy pet sitting. I recently lost my dog and am looking forward to caring for other people's pets. I have a fence in yard and hiking trails to walk dogs. I am also able to house sit if needed. My only pets at the moment are an elderly cat which is kept indoors and a stray cat that found us😊

About: 🐾 Pet Experience & Approach Animals have always been a source of calm and connection for me, and I bring that same energy into every home I care for. I’ve supported pets of all ages — from spirited puppies to senior dogs and cats needing medication, gentleness, and a steady routine. I’m especially skilled at reading animal behavior and adjusting care to fit each pet’s unique personality and needs. 🧼 What Sets Me Apart What makes me different is my blend of calm, compassionate care and thoughtful attention to detail. I’m respectful of your home, provide regular updates with photos, and keep things clean, consistent, and stress-free — for both you and your pets. Whether it's walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I show up with heart and reliability every time. ❤️ Final Note I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and become someone they feel safe and happy with! ⏰ My Weekly Routine I build my schedule around the pets I care for. I work remotely and keep my calendar intentionally flexible, which allows me to prioritize walks, feeding routines, and companionship throughout the day. Whether your pet needs structure, playtime, or a calm presence, I make sure their care fits naturally into my rhythm — not the other way around. 🏡 Safety, Trust & Environment Every pet has their own comfort zone, and I pay close attention to what helps them feel safe and secure in their space. Whether it's respecting their favorite nap spot, watching for stress cues, or giving them space to warm up at their own pace, I adapt to their needs with patience and care. I also take cues from the environment — keeping things tidy, quiet, and predictable so your pet can relax while you're away. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own, and always aim to be a calm, reassuring presence for your pet.

I have a background in healthcare, childcare and pharmacy and have always pet sat on the side because I’m a lover of all animals. I believe in doing things that bring us joy and being surrounded by dogs and other animals that truly just want to be loved and petted does just that for me! Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. Hope to hear from you soon!
