Dog Walkers in Nixons Beach, NC

About: As an aspiring veterinarian, animal care and wellbeing has become an important pillar in my life. I am currently a vet assistant and am skilled in pet handling, medication administration, and general animal health. Pet care is what I do- and what I’m good at. I work during normal business hours (M-F; 8-5). My pet schedule would include potty breaks in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Pet care is my profession so there is always room in my schedule for more. The pets in my home are viewed as, and treated like, members of the family. Our pets are treated with the utmost responsibility and respect- but are spoiled heavily with love. Between dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and aquatic life- I can do it all.

About: I personally have or have had dogs of all ages from birth to senior dogs. And have experience with rescue dogs as well and the many challenges that can bring when not knowing their background. I've had experience caring for all kinds of animals from birds, rabbits, cats, dogs and also farm animals like goats and cows. And can provide care for other small pets in your home while you're away. My schedule is very flexible as I don't have a regular job and work from home and make my own hours so it makes for a flexible schedule. When I am boarding your fur baby at my home I don't have a fence so they are leashed at all times as I'm currently in an apartment and don't have a fenced in yard. They do allow all pets here and everyone is super friendly and so are their dogs. I also have 3 small dogs of my own. I do have a long lead for bigger dogs so we are able to still play around outside with ease and they not be stuck right next to me.

About: I've had dogs in my care for the past 20 years, from puppies to seniors. I have cared for them all. There is just something about being around dogs that brings me joy. I work from home full time, so taking care of your fur baby is easy for me. I also have my own pup so I'm sure they would get enough play time in. I have a fenced in yard and one very active 3 years old (spayed) female fur baby that is a ball of energy. Note, dogs must be dog friendly to come chill with us. My dog Willow is very submissive and loves other dogs.

About: I have taken care of my own pets all my life. I have had pets from fish, frogs and snakes to bunnies, cats, and dogs. I often watch friends and families beloved pets and always treat them as I would want someone to treat mine! I am currently working from home part time, which gives me plenty of free time to be able to play with and walk your fur babies. I can walk or simply let out and play with your dog and am able to crate if necessary. I also can give medication if needed as my own dog takes medicine everyday.

About: At Central Canines, pet care is more than just a service — it’s a personalized experience built on trust, structure, and love. With years of hands-on experience in both dog training and boarding, I go beyond basic care to truly understand each dog’s personality, needs, and behavior. Whether your pup is staying overnight or working on new skills, they’ll receive consistent structure, positive reinforcement, and one-on-one attention in a safe, home-style environment — not a crowded kennel. What sets me apart is the calm, confident energy I bring to every interaction, my commitment to helping dogs thrive both mentally and physically, and the genuine relationships I build with each pet and their family. Here, every dog is treated like one of my own. Pet care is my full-time lifestyle — not just part of my day. As a professional dog trainer and full-time pet care provider, my entire routine is centered around the well-being, structure, and happiness of the dogs in my care. From early morning potty breaks and structured play sessions to training lessons and calm evening wind-downs, every part of my day is designed to meet each pup’s individual needs. This isn’t a side job or a hobby — it’s my passion and profession. Your dog becomes part of my daily rhythm, and I treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. In my home, pets are cared for with a structured, safe, and loving routine that supports both their physical and mental well-being. Dogs enjoy plenty of outdoor time in a secure yard, personalized enrichment activities, and rest periods throughout the day to prevent overstimulation. For those enrolled in training, I incorporate clear, consistent guidance into daily routines to reinforce good behavior in real-life situations. Each pup gets one-on-one attention, daily check-ins, and plenty of love — all while maintaining a calm, balanced environment. Cleanliness, safety, and respect for each dog’s individual needs are always my top priorities.

About: I have always been surrounded by animals from a young age. I now live in a home with 6 dogs! I have been in the veterinary industry for 2 years, with the hope of it becoming a career. I currently work a full-time at a veterinary hospital. My job is an 8-5 but if your babies are not used to that schedule then I am willing to accommodate to them! In my client's, I prioritize pets' well-being by ensuring they receive proper nutrition, regular exercise, grooming, and veterinary care. I provide companionship and mental stimulation through play and interaction, maintaining a safe, comfortable environment. I also follow specific care routines, respecting each pet's unique needs.

About: I have had three dogs and a cat since I was a teenager. I have experience with senior dogs, small dogs, large breeds and administering medicine. I am working part-time, so my schedule is very flexible. My other responsibilities will fit perfectly around the care of any animal big or small! I have experience going into other people's homes. I am honest, trustworthy, and will take care of any pet, as if they were my own!

About: I love animals of all breeds, temperaments, and age. I promise to greet and treat your animals as if they were my own. Being a pet owner myself I realize how difficult it is to leave your family members home. I will do my best to make this experience as easy for you as possible. I will send updates and pictures with every visit. I service the local area with pet sitting needs and pop in visits. I work from home so during working hours I would be with your pets. I am available for drop ins every 4 hours. I will follow your rules as if you were home. I will treat your animals with as much love and affection as I would my own. If you use certain commands, I will too. If your dog isnt allowed on the furniture, I will uphold your boundaries to the best of my ability. If your dog licks your face and lays with you on the couch, I'm cool with all the snuggles.

“Stayed in duck for a week for a beach trip. We needed someone to come by for 2 days to walk pumpkin since we had booked all day tours. Rose was trustworthy, she sent me lots of pictures, and kept me updated. Thank you rose. Would recommend to regulars and visitors.”

About: 40+ years’ experience caring for and loving dogs of all ages. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs and even those in their prime with plenty of energy. I am very experienced with administering medicine if needed and caring for those with special needs. My husband and I have always had our own fur babies (toy and standard poodles), but do not have any currently. I am retired, so I’m always here to give extra cuddles, potty breaks, play time and walks. I really love their company! Tell me their routine while at home with you and I will do my best to ensure it stays the same when in my care. We have a large fenced yard with shade in a small and quiet subdivision. Our home is two story so plenty of room for playing and naps. If they do not care for going up stairs, I can stay on the main floor. Our neighborhood is perfect for walks. I have crates if they are crate trained and you prefer that, but that is not necessary. Being on the furniture or bed is fine with me too. I give extra special attention if they are nervous during a thunderstorm or other loud noises (such as fireworks on a holiday). I am very attentive and adapt to small things such as if they just don't like going out in the rain. I always send daily updates including photos, videos & text throughout their stay.

About: I've had a wide array of pets my entire life - dogs, birds, bunnies, hamsters and cats. I'm extremely understanding of their needs, while gentle and fun. My whole life i've made myself knowledgeable about animals, and continue to educate myself about different types of animals/dog breeds. Their traits and strong senses are fascinating. I'm always thinking about the wants of each type of breed. And, I have a private garden for my apartment, for private, safe and healthy dog-walking. My communication is excellent, and I will send fun photos of your pet while on the job, reminding you they are in safe and fun hands! I'm extremely punctual, organized and responsible - for every dog walking schedule and short-term boarding I will be there for your pet(s).

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life, growing up with 10 German Shepards has provided me with a lot of experience. I will ensure your dog gets the best care possible! I look forward to taking care of your fur baby! :) My schedule is very flexible and I am currently working part time, so i will have plenty of time to play with your fur baby! I have a fenced in yard and 1 German Shepard to keep your fur baby company. A crate must be provided with food & bowls.

About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life and have always been an animal lover ever since I was a child! A fun little backstory about me...most teenagers get jobs to have money to go to the mall or whatever it is that they want to do, well my goal was to save up all the money I made and get my own puppy. That was one of the best things I ever did, I had her for 16 years. Other than having dogs all my life, I also have kennel technician and veterinary assistant experience. Before I moved back to North Carolina, I was working the front desk at a non profit animal hospital. I feel that I am a very genuine and good hearted person. I am willing to walk/jog/run/play fetch, honestly, I will do pretty much anything to make them happy while you’re away and would love to build a relationship with your fur baby!! I’m a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty open every day! My husband is home every day until late afternoon and can help with my 18 month old while I take care of your fur babies♥️. Weekends are 100% open so I’d love to help in any way that I can! Hope to hear from you!! 🤗 I cannot care for pets in my home (I currently rent), but I will do whatever is needed to care for your dog in your home. I will always make sure that they feel comfortable, loved, and happy.

About: Putting pets and their people at ease with reliable, conscientious care. I have over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, caring for a variety of animals including cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, and even otters. Since 2014, I’ve consistently provided daily care that includes feeding, walking, grooming, training, administering medications, and maintaining clean living environments. I currently own a Belgian Malinois and two Persian cats, which has given me extensive experience with high-energy and high-maintenance breeds. My background includes not only routine care, but also behavioral training and attention to the unique needs of each species, demonstrating both responsibility and a strong passion for animal welfare. I’m a military spouse, at the moment I’m going to be available any time of the day and night. Text and calls are available all week 24/7. Also I’m I full time mom, I have a 3 year old boy, he is always with me, that’s why I choose this job so I can have the opportunity to work choosing my own schedule. He is a sweet boy. I don’t have a fence at my home, but I always take my dog on a leash outdoors for a potty break and also to have a time for a walk.

About: I have taken care of dogs for about 3 years but I have had my own animals sense I was a kid. I just love being around animals and taking care of them. I want like 6 when I’m in my own house. I am currently pregnant and unemployed I am open when ever you need me and will be there for your pet every second if needed. I will sit and play with them and make sure they are fed and have taken a walk. I like to stay for a bit just so they have a bit of interaction so they don’t miss there people to much.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was about 8. Specifically dogs since about 10. My family has owned a dog since about then, but I’ve always been asked to help with the neighbors dog , my friends dog etc. Most dogs naturally take to me instantly. I have a deep love for all animals, but a special place in my heart for the puppies. I will love your special friend as if they were my own. I am home full time. I do work gig work so sometimes I will be out running deliveries such as Instacart and grubhub. However that is flexible, so being able to do walks and schedule play time is never an issue. Your special friend will always come first. My schedule is very flexible and I am willing to work with you. Just let me know what you need I have a fenced back yard and there is a neighbor with a sidewalk just a short car ride away for a nice long walk. I have 3 teenagers who love and respect furry friends who are always around to give lots of love.
