Dog Walkers in Oak Island, NC

“Erin has been amazing with Gabbie! She took the time to stop by and familiarize herself with her and made her feel comfortable. Additionally, my requests to walk Gabbie were very last minute and she took no issue with that and communicated in a timely manner. If you need your pup walked, you should absolutely consider Erin first.”

About: I have cared for pets my whole life. Starting at a very young age with neighbors and family pets. My love for pets grow every day. I help humane society and other animal charities as much as possible, as it pains me to see ANY animal go unloved or cared for. I am reliable and loyal to all of my fur baby friends!🤗 I currently work for myself as a cosmetologist/hairdresser/makeup artist. So my schedule is very flexible. I have a lot of time to fill in between clients and days off and I look forward to you committing myself to your pet needs! I currently do not have a place to provide pet care at home but will be happy to meet your pet needs at your home or in your neighborhood for walking! I do drive so I can drive to dog parks as well!

About: Years of firsthand experience have equipped me with an innate understanding of dogs' needs, behaviors, and preferences, enabling me to create a nurturing and engaging environment for my furry visitors. Working from home allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine, ensuring that my furry companions receive ample attention and care throughout the day. With a flexible schedule, I can prioritize regular walks, play sessions, and feeding times to meet their needs. Whether it's taking short breaks for cuddle sessions or incorporating outdoor activities into my lunch break, your pup will never be far from my side. What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my extensive experience coupled with the ideal setup of a fenced-in backyard and my loyal canine companion. My backyard serves as a safe and stimulating space where dogs can play, exercise, and socialize under my watchful eye, enhancing their overall well-being and enjoyment during their stay. Having a furry companion of my own adds an extra layer of comfort and familiarity for visiting dogs, fostering a sense of camaraderie and companionship that sets my dog-sitting service apart from the rest.

“Maegan did a great job with our girl! She walked her at Scout’s pace and has such a good attitude toward her! Thanks Maegan- see you soon!”

About: I’m available most days to play and care for your animals. I’d love to take them running, playing, and of course to snuggle them! You can expect that I will love your pets as if they are my own. I haven’t had a pet in about three years (my doggie of seven years unfortunately got sick and passed) so I’m looking to ease back into having a pet by doggie-sitting a bit before I commit to a full time furfriend. I’m very entergetic so I have no problem taking on your active pets but I also like quiet time and movies for your more laid back animals. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have! I’m currently working part time and travel on weekends so I have a pretty flexible schedule to play with your pup! If I’m traveling in gone most weekends, and if I’m working it mostly afternoons. At this time I am not doing boarding but I like to ensure that your pet feels safe with me in your home while house sitting by doing a visit prior to the booked stay.

About: I’ve grown up with rescue dogs my entire life and understand dogs specific needs and concerns. All dogs have a unique personality and deserve unique care based on everything about them! I’ve raised my 3 year old vizsla since she was 8 weeks old and have definitely learned how to care for a pup that can be needy & require a unique way of living. She grew up in NYC and has travelled to many states over the past year and has adjusted to changes in life seamlessly while I maintain her care. I am currently home full time and available to care for your dogs needs at any time. My vizsla and I love to go on walks/hikes around town and play in the backyard often so any dog would be a great addition to our routine. ample space for dogs to play indoors. My vizsla, Molly, is great with other dogs and loves to have a playmate and snuggle buddy! Butt scratches are essential to our daily life and your dog will get ample snuggles if they choose.

“Stacey is the BEST dog walker and sitter! She treats my dog like she’s her own. She is so kind and loving, while she also works on consistency with the training I do with my dog. Stacey knows the various dog personality styles and needs well. She has a lot more skill to offer than your basic dog walker! She gives me regular updates about my dog’s behavior and informs me of new tricks my dog learns with her. She also sends pics and videos so I can enjoy their time together from afar. It’s so fun! I use her weekly and we really miss her between sessions. I highly recommend her!!!”

I have a golden retriever of my own and have taken care of dogs since I was in high school. My grandma as well as my fiancé‘s grandparents are here in St James and I am looking to help take care of your four-legged friends while finishing up my last semester of school. I am happy to take your pup on sniff walks or walks for mileage and will make sure they have the best adventure they can :) I can also watch your pet in your home and stop in throughout the day to make sure they are happy, comfortable, fed, and exercised.

Whether it’s walks, playtime, or companionship, my goal is to help your pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! Pet care fits really well into my weekly routine! It is something that I genuinely love doing and am very passionate about. My schedule is incredibly flexible which allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, and other care throughout the week as needed. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I follow their normal routines and pay close attention to their needs so they feel relaxed and at ease. I’m careful during walks and visits, and I always make sure pets are supervised and secure. My goal is to build trust with both pets and owners so you feel confident and worry-free while you’re away.
