Dog Walking Northeast

About: As a work-from-home professional, I can keep your fur baby company all day long, and check in multiple times a day. Does your energetic herding dog need twice-daily walks or visits to the dog park? No problem -- they're just like the Australian Shepherd I grew up with and the Rough Collie I petsit regularly. I am also an ardent cat lover with experience caring for my aging childhood cat (age 20+), as well as a skittish rescue with seasonal allergies. If you have a senior cat who needs extra care or shy kitten who needs daily medication, I'm the petsitter for you. I have an extremely flexible schedule and can accomodate boarding every day of the week. I'm also available for daycare across Raleigh, although I may have more limited availability on Wednesday and Thursday nights, as well as Sunday afternoons and evenings. Feel free to ask about my schedule! I live in a townhouse with a small, fenced-in patio and my one cat. She is typically kept in a separate part of the house during boarding, so I can accommodate animals who are reactive to cats. The yard is great for smaller dogs who enjoy being outside, but I can also care for larger animals who need lots of exercise!

About: I have been around animals since I can remember. From caring for them, pet sitting for friends, and helping train behavioral pets. Pets bring an energy and love to a home, so I understand how precious they are to you and your family. I can ensure you that I will bring that same care and love to your furry family member My current schedule allows me flexibility. Afternoons and evenings Monday - Friday works best for play dates, however, I can manage mornings depending on the travel distance and make some room on the weekend if needed. I understand that every pet and household has different needs. I always follow each owner’s instructions and care routine while making sure every pet receives the love, attention, and affection they deserve. My goal is to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. My care consists of: -Leash walks -Playtime with pets own toys (if requested in the care routine ) -Basic obedience reinforcement (sit, stay, leash manners) -dog parks if there happen to be one in the neighborhood -unleashed in the yard( if the yard is fenced in and requested by owner) - Mealtime( at the owners discretion) - Refilling water bowl - Grooming ( if requested in sitting routine) - Medication administration (if you’re comfortable) -Photo and video updates -Daily visit summaries -Quick responses to owner questions Courtesy Extras: -Bringing in mail/packages -Watering plants -taking out/in trash bins

“Al and Laura are wonderful with our super anxious dog Pepper. They are sweet and patient with her, and she has warmed up to both of them quickly just being with them on their walks while we are at work. She gets to spend the long weekend with them and I am absolutely sure she will be in wonderful hands and will have a great time with them and their sweet pups!”

“Jacob was able to accommodate a somewhat short notice request for walking my dog. He followed instructions, arrived on time each day, walked Opal, and included pictures on her walk cards. Jacob is reliable and trustworthy.”

“We LOVED Erin. Will call her again for sure. A lot of sitters are often overwhelmed with my dogs, but Erin treated them kindly and understood their behavior.”

“Thank you Morgan for taking the walk with Ellie while I was sick! Sorry if she pulled you, she’s a puppy and going off for advanced training in a few days. Take care thanks again! Izzy”

About: I'm a dog mom of a 2-years old Golden Retriever girl named Lani and spending time with her is truly the best. I also regularly volunteer at SPCA of Wake County as a "Dog Butler", where I spend time caring for and interacting with dogs with different personalities and needs. As a dog owner myself I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member and how difficult it can be to find that someone. I'm patient, attentive, reliable and I enjoy everything from long walks and playing time to cuddles and relaxing together. I'm comfortable following each dog's individual routine, including feeding, schedules, walks and special instructions from their owners. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy and well cared, while giving you as the owner peace of mind knowing your furbabies are in caring and loving hands. After relocating from Germany to Raleigh, I'm currently at home and have a very flexible schedule. I'm essentially a full-time dog-mom, so I have time and flexibility to care for your pup, doing drop-in visits and walks. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. Since I currently provide care in the client's home, I make sure to follow your pets routine, house rules and any special instructions you provide. I always treat your home and your furry family member with care and respect. I want you to feel completely comfortable while you're away.

“Excellent service! My dog Bouj seemed so happy in all the pictures Destiny sent me while I was away. She properly fed and took care of all of Bouj's needs, and I am very happy with her pricing and her patience towards animals. Definitely seemed like she loved, and cared about animals, definitely will be rehiring her in the future for all my other bookings!”

About: Dogs get lots of love with us! Fenced in back yard allows for lots of outdoor playtime! Great Communication with owners for updates! Dogs must be friendly with kids (older kids). I work from home so can provide as many potty breaks as needed! We have fenced in backyard. We have 3 kids that love playing with the dogs as well! (9, 11, 16) Fenced in back yard! Dog welcome inside and on the furniture. Always treated like one of our own! Lots of snuggle time and we have one dog they can play with!

“Nicole K. is awesome with dogs & cats. She texted me when she started her walk with Dixie & when she was done. I got the route she walked & also got pictures. It made me feel very comfortable leaving her in such good hands. Nicole is a sweet & caring person.”

Deborah E.

“Fang was wonderful with my tiny chihuahua, Oshie. He let her take the lead (she’s bossy), and gave her so much love and pets. Would definitely hire again!”

Madison R.

“Ozlen is the best communicator I have used on Rover! Top tier. She so obviously loves dogs and animals. The perfect type of person you would want to take care of your fur baby. My pup was shy and under the bed when she first arrived. She was able to coax him out for a walk by moving the furniture around. She went above and beyond. Could not recommend high enough!”

Jordan G.

“Alissa was very attentive to our two labs. She shows up on time, is very pleasent to work with. She clearly loves dogs and our boys were excited tosee her arrive. We trusted Alissa with our home and dogs without hesitation.”
