Dog Walking Northwest

About: Hi! I'm Kaitlyn, and I've spent the past 10 years caring for pets of all ages-from playful puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats who need a little extra patience and gentle attention. I have two dogs myself a 3-year-old Aussiedoodle named Maxine and a 1-year-old Goldendoodle named Meeko so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. What sets me apart is my reliability, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals-I treat every pet as if they were my own. I'm comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, medication reminders, and, of course, giving plenty of affection. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. I'd love to schedule a meet and greet to see if I'm the right fit for your furry friend! - Kaitlyn Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m home part-time four days a week, giving me plenty of flexibility to provide consistent, dependable care. I love giving pets the attention and companionship they need throughout the day, whether that means going for walks, playing, keeping up with their feeding routine, or simply spending quality time together. My goal is always to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. In a client’s home, I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or cuddle time—so they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while keeping their space clean and secure. When caring for pets in my own home, I provide a welcoming, safe environment where they’ll enjoy lots of love, playtime, and supervision. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel at home and well cared for. I have two friendly dogs who love to play and make new friends!

About: Hi! My name is Haleigh and I am an animal lover! I have been taking great care of other people's pets for about 10 years now, and I absolutely love doing it. I have had dogs my whole life on top of my experience pet-sitting, so I understand most of their needs and how to take exceptional care of them. I understand that these are not just pets, they are family members, and I always intend to treat them just as that. I have house-sat while taking care of the pets, made drop in visits through out the day, and have walked multiple dogs at once. I am very reliable and attentive. I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave them with another person; so I always make sure to do frequent updates over text (unless call is preferred). I do have two dogs of my own so if you’re looking to drop your pet with me, he/she must get along with other dogs! Thank you for your consideration! I only work three days a week so I should have plenty of time to take care of your babies as long as it’s on my days off which I have posted! :) I have a fenced yard and two very friendly and playful dogs to keep yours company. I can also crate your dog or dogs if needed.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover whose always had dogs and cats throughout my childhood and adulthood. I also have professional experience working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for 70+ dogs each day. That experience taught me how to handle dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs while making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and loved. At home, we have a good sized fully fenced-in yard where your dog can run, play, and get plenty of outdoor time. I also love staying active myself, so going for walks with the dogs is one of my favorite parts of pet care. Whether your pet needs some extra playtime, a good long walk, or simply some love and companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I recently moved to North Carolina from Massachusetts with my fur babies and husband for my husband’s career and to continue his college career at UNCW. Currently, I am not working and pet care is my only focus. I give all my animals/the animals that I care for lots of love and attention. Additionally, I give them lots of play time and exercise.

About: I love dogs!! I have taken care of dogs for family, friends, and clients for over six years. I have experience with all breeds and sizes. I treat every dog like I would my own: with love, care, and extra treats😉 I am a student with a very flexible routine. My nights are always free and I have large breaks in between classes where I can leave campus. I am very respectful of other people's homes and I leave things exactly as I left them, if not cleaner. I follow instructions closely and thoroughly to ensure a happy client and a happy pup.

“Katrina did a wonderful job! She sent pictures time-stamped with the length of her dog walk, which was very comforting!”

About: *Please Read* Hello! My name is Kaylah. I have been pet sitting for over 15 years and love all types of animals. I have experience with large dogs and small dogs, as well as cats and small animals like hamsters. When your pet stays at our house they are allowed in bed and on our furniture. The only thing I ask is that your pet is kid, dog, and cat friendly :) If you would like to bring your animal to my house I would be more than happy to watch them here, but if you would rather me come to your house that is fine too! I do offer drop in visits at your house but am unable to stay there while you are away. When your pet is at our house they will be loved and spoiled like one of our own pets :) *Updated 11/01/2024- I am a stay at home mom of 5 kids and a full time pet sitter. I will send pictures of your pet while you are away but I do only send pictures every other day unless it is a one night stay or Doggy daycare. (you'll get pictures that day!) If you are interested in having pictures sent to you every day or are interested in any additional services, I do charge an extra fee which can be discussed and added on when booking. :) Also, I do usually send my pictures and updates in the evening. Thank you! I am a stay at home mom and pet sitter full time. I very rarely leave the house and if I do it is not for long. We have a huge fenced in back yard that your dog can run around and play in. When they are outside one of us is always out there with them. :)

I am a recent UNCW graduate taking a semester off and a dad who is available during school hours. Happy and excited to play with and walk your dogs! I have two senior dogs that I care for everyday so I understand when a dog has specific needs and requirements. I read and follow instructions for each pet!

I can easily travel to care for your pets and do whatever is necessary to provide proper care! I cannot bring your pets to my home however I can transport them!

“Millie did such a great job walking my rescue silver lab, Belle. She took the time to get to know Belle during the meet and greet and asked really good questions. When walking Belle, she arrived on time, communicated well, and was able to redirect Belle, who often struggles to stay calm when other dogs are nearby. I highly recommend her and willing be using her services again!”

About: I can’t remember an age where I wasn’t helping birth and raise kittens and puppies, turtles, or rodents. From having blind, toothless senior chihuahuas and senile cats…to a litter of brand new pups or kittens struggling to catch their first breath I’ve been part of it. I’ve had several rodents and reptiles, and cared for my friends and family birds as well. Trained puppies and kittens to use the potty and more. Also helped with a few farm animals too. I work only 20-25hrs a week, so I’ll always be home within 6hours or less. Outside of work, I’m home hanging out with my kids and furbabies. I have two e.s.a. Certified cats who tend to hide away when someone new is here. I’ve had them both since babies (13y & 3y). Keep things clean, organized, healthy, I had a cleaning company too. I don’t have crates on hand or an outside fence but I have a huge yard, the neighbor has a spayed female American bulldog, very friendly. There are farm animals next door. However, I do appreciate being where the pet is comfortable and knows its space.

I do currently work full time M-F but I am able to stay overnight as well as provide ample time with your babies in the afternoons when I get off. Ideally I would be a perfect fit for someone who needs care in the evenings and weekends! I provide a safe and welcoming environment in my home where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I make sure they are always supervised, have a clean space, fresh water, regular feeding, and plenty of love and attention. Their safety and well-being are my top priority, and I do everything possible to make them feel at home. I have a very pet friendly neighborhood community with lots of open space for animals to get exercise and fresh air.

About: My name is Drew, and I am the ultimate animal lover! I spent three years in Denver working in management at an in-home pet care company. I will take the very best care of your pets and provide a fun-loving environment! My pitsky, Quest, is friendly with other pups and loves to run and play all day. If you have an animal that does not like other dogs, I will be happy to drop by and spend time with them in their comfort zone. I have owned a husky and worked with many high-maintenance breeds, as well as having experience working with animals with disabilities and administering medications. I am open to boarding at my home, walks, day visits, and addressing other health needs your animals may have. Thank you, and I hope to pet and play with your fur friends soon! I will be working from 8am - 4pm, Mon. - Fri. During the school year. I have summers off and I am available full time and occasionally able to watch during the Holiday seasons.

About: I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each dog’s routine and personality. I understand how important consistency, patience, and clear communication are when caring for someone else’s pet. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your dog company, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and temperaments; from active dogs who love long walks and playtime to calmer dogs who prefer a relaxed, steady routine. I pay close attention to details like feeding schedules, leash manners, and any special instructions you provide. I treat every dog as if they’re my own and keep owners updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Availability and how much time I’ll be able to spend with pets: I work full-time remote so I can accommodate to any time and location necessary. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, walk times, and care instructions exactly as provided to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free.

About: I have been providing pet care for 20 years. I take pride in my ability to care for animals as well as my clients. Thank you for the opportunity to care for a member of your family. I am a veteran, and served in the United States Navy. I am also a mother and an artist. I chose pet care as my part-time side hustle because I enjoy spending time with animals and I like to be outside as much as possible:) When I am given the opportunity to care for pets in your home It is very important to me to give my client exactly what they want for their pets, while offering dignity and respect to their personal space.

About: Hi! I’m Haley, a sitter who will treat your animals like family (because they are). I have my own kitty who I am very selective with who I allow to care for her. She deserves the best and so do your loved ones! I’m a passionate animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior pets, I’ve worked with a wide range of furry friends and pride myself on providing personalized, loving care. I have special experience administering medications to dogs and cats (one of my own cats has epilepsy and requires twice-daily medication), so I understand how important it is to follow routines carefully and calmly. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, quiet companionship, or a bit of extra care, I’m here to help. I believe every animal deserves kindness, safety, and respect. I treat every pet like they’re my own. Let’s chat about how I can support you and your pets! Although I work a fast-paced full-time job as a social worker during the week, I always make time for what I love — caring for animals! I’m available in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends to give your pets the attention, care, and love they deserve. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes to help pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I always follow your care instructions closely, whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering medication, or just offering companionship. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family — ensuring they’re happy, healthy, and well-loved while you’re away.

About: I know how much it means to have someone you trust caring for your dog. I’ll take the time to get to know your pup, follow their routine, and help them feel comfortable with me. Whether they love an energetic walk or a leisurely stroll with plenty of sniffing, I’m happy to go at their pace. You can count on thoughtful care, plenty of attention, and updates so you know how your pup is doing! I’m self-employed, which gives me flexibility to fit dog walks and visits into my week. I’ll work with you to find times that fit your pup’s routine and only accept bookings when I can give them the time and attention they deserve. When caring for your dog in your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and take the time to help them feel comfortable with me. On walks, I’ll keep them securely leashed, be mindful of the weather, and avoid unfamiliar dogs unless we’ve discussed it beforehand. I’ll respect your home, double-check that doors are secure, and send updates so you know how your pup is doing. Their safety and your peace of mind matter to me.

“Alissa is absolutely the sweetest ? Luna and I are so lucky to have her. Despite an injured foot she is still willing to show up and spent time with my puppy! Luna loves her and I will keep using her for as long as I can! She is a caring, wonderful person. Any animal would be lucky to have her around!”

About: I am a certified, licensed, and insured dog trainer and the owner of Chaos To Clarity K9. I work with dogs and their families on obedience, leash skills, everyday manners, and behavior challenges. Many of the dogs I help are everyday family dogs who need guidance with things like pulling on leash, barking, jumping, reactivity, or learning how to settle in the home. I also enjoy working with puppies and helping owners build strong foundations early through clear communication and consistency. I have a strong interest in behavior modification, especially helping dogs work through fear, stress, and reactivity at a pace that keeps them comfortable and learning. My husband is a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) and a combat veteran and former military police K9 handler who trained civilian police dogs. Because of his veterinary background, I’m also able to consult with him when behavior questions may have a possible medical component, which can sometimes play a role in behavior. I also understand that dogs live in real families with real challenges. I live with multiple sclerosis and am raising an autistic four-year-old, so I appreciate how important it is for training to be practical, realistic, and supportive of the household environment. My goal is always to help create calmer, safer, and more enjoyable relationships between dogs and the people who love them. One thing that’s very important to me is paying attention to canine body language and stress signals. Dogs communicate constantly through subtle changes in posture, facial expression, and movement, and recognizing those signals early can prevent many behavior problems from escalating. During training, I help owners learn how to recognize what their dog is communicating so they can respond in a way that builds trust, confidence, and better behavior over time. Dog training is part of my regular weekly routine, and I intentionally keep my schedule structured so each client receives focused attention. My current training availability is: • Tuesday: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM • Wednesday: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM • Thursday: 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM • Saturday: 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM • Sunday: Afternoon appointments available by request Closed: Monday and Friday Because each dog and family has unique needs, I limit the number of training sessions I take each week so I can provide thoughtful, individualized guidance and follow-up support between sessions. Safety, trust, and clear communication are always my top priorities when working with dogs and their families. I pay close attention to canine body language and stress signals to make sure dogs remain comfortable and able to learn during training. Training sessions focus on creating a calm, structured environment where both the dog and owner can succeed. I work at the dog’s pace and help owners understand what their dog is communicating so they can respond clearly and confidently. My goal is to create training plans that are safe, practical, and sustainable for everyday life, helping dogs feel more secure while helping owners feel supported throughout the process.
