Dog Walking Old Sparta

About: Hey! I’m a lifelong animal nerd with 20+ years of hands-on experience — dogs, cats, fish, farm animals… you name it. I’ve done everything from basic care to grooming and handling special needs pets(Diabetes and administering chemo meds). I also have a soft spot for rescues — I’ve taken in more than a few over the years, including cats, dogs, and even birds. Yup… parrot/wild bird experience too. My home is basically a safe-haven full of spoiled, happy furballs and feathers. If you’re nervous about leaving your baby with someone new, totally get it. I’m always happy to chat, send pics/updates, and answer questions so you feel good about who’s caring for your pet. Whether your pet needs walks, cuddles, meds, or just someone calm to hang with while you’re away, I’m here. Reach out any time — I’d love to help. My days revolve around my pets, I work from home so I have availability to be here or there when needed, before my full time job starts up I have even more availability! All my animals are free roam, I have a large fenced in yard, all my cats love all my dogs and vice versa. My house is pet friendly and designed for safety and ease of loving and protecting all my babies.

About: Looking for someone to match your dog's energy level? I’m your sitter! I specialize in high-energy care, providing brisk 30-minute power walks, fun play sessions, and stimulating outdoor time. I'm a lifelong dog owner who believes a tired dog is a happy dog! My service focuses on reducing anxiety and curbing boredom through positive reinforcement and lots of active attention. I offer drop-in and extended stay services in or around the Greenville NC area. Let's get those tails wagging! I have a lot of free time and love to spend time with my own pets. My schedule is very open all day every day. I feed my dogs twice a day I also walk them twice a day sometimes even three times if it’s cool outside. They always have fresh water and toys.

About: I’ve been working with animals since I was a kid! My family owns and runs a farm so my entire life has been about taking care of animals needs and making sure they are healthy! I have always had an affinity for all pets no matter how big or small! My #1 priority is making sure they’re taken care of, safe, and loved when their parents are gone! I am currently a senior at WCU, but I live here near Greenville and will be here for the whole summer, holidays, and most weekends! I’m currently self-employed and have a lot of extra time on my hands to help take some time off of yours! I have a very large backyard that is fenced in, all my dogs love to run around in it. My furr baby, Cherry, is crate trained and loves to spend most of her time inside!

About: I am from Colombia and there I had the opportunity to work with him, in a family veterinarian where I learned a lot. Here in the United States I have been taking care of dogs and cats at home several times. It is important, since animals are part of my life and always will be, I also dream of one day having the money to be able to give a good life to several animals that currently live in a shelter. I keep them company, I sing to them, I play with them, I walk them, when they sleep in my house I always make them comfortable and I am aware of all their behavior, especially because I know they miss their owners.

“Stephen is a fabulous resource. He met our dogs and they fell in love with him and his family. Thank you so much Stephen for your awesomeness.”

“Rebecca was great. Booked her to walk my dog for a week. Great communication and very quick to respond. Sent lots of pics per walk and kept me informed each day. Would definitely recommend, and would book again when needed!”

About: I’ve been training dogs professionally for 10+ years. Google Dogs Listen To Us! I have some extra space for boarding as I’m lightening my training load for a while My whole day revolves around pet care. My pets. My training clients. My boarding clients. It’s a family affair. Someone is always here! The first and last duty of each day is the dogs. I have a climate controlled kennel building with indoor/outdoor runs for each dog. I take on a maximum of 4 dogs at any given time. We live on six rural acres. Dogs are always supervised during any play. Potty breaks are divided up between yard time and leash walks.

About: I've owned animals since I was 8 yrs of age! By this I understand that pets or not just animals! They are family and should be treated accordingly. I am a retired Army Veteran with 2 children of which the oldest (20) wants to work with animals as a the future career field. I have plenty of time to love on your babies as a veteran! Our entire home love pets and will give yours the best experience! I have plenty of yard, front and back for your pet to run around on and enjoy their stay! We are located in a small country setting away from busy streets and close neighbors.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs every since I was a child. From helping neighbors, friend and family care and love on their babies to owning my very own house full of fur babies. My husband and I foster cats and dogs with a handful of amazing rescues, we have been doing this for 5 years now and have accumulated a few “foster fails.” The last year we have primarily fostered newborn puppies or litters with mom included. Youngest animals I’ve cared for were 3 week old puppies and our oldest dog right now is 16 years young. I’m currently between travel assignments so I am home full time! I have a completely open and free schedule to help with your animals needs. I have a fenced in back yard and 2 pups to keep your dog company! All my dogs are up to date on vaccines, crate-trained, temperament tested, and socialized through day care. My house is also large enough where I have been able to section of an area as my foster dog/boarding area, that is completely separated from my dogs crates.

About: I have a huge love for animals they are better than a best friend 🤍 I grew up with two dogs & have had all the animals in between. I got my dog Kalie when I was 19 & wish she could just stay around furever. I don’t mind doing extra services for a fee such as baths & nail clippings. I am taking some time off from work & couldn’t think of a better way to spend time doing what I love most! I have open availability just give me a call! I know sometimes their home is where they feel most comfortable to be at so I would love to come to them. I also have plenty of space at our home for them to have fun and be loved!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats as pets my entire life and have cared for them like my babies! I’m a nurse so I understand physiology and have cared for sick pets as well. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, and chickens. I currently work remotely so I have plenty of flexibility to travel and help you with your babies while you are away. Overnight stays any day of the week are no problem. I will take care of your baby in your own home so that they aren’t traumatized by a new place while missing you. My goal is to keep them in their same routines and environment so that they have a peaceful and low stress experience.

“Kristen has a wonderful personality and made me and Gye, my 1 year old Akita, feel secure about her services. Nothing but good vibes. Her knowledge of greeting him, and handling him worked very well. She was extremely flexible, responsive and professional in our phone, text and email conversations. She followed the protocol left for her with no problems at all. I highly recommend her and will look to connect with her again. Thanks Kristen!”

About: I've worked in a nursing home and coached youth sport camps throughout my young adult years. I grew up with dogs and I now have two of my own; a 4 year old mini-cockerpoo, who is very playful, friendly, and submissive, and a 2 yr old Australian-labradoodle. I live an active lifestyle and am very affectionate so you can find us at the dog park, on walks/runs, or all cuddled up together! I am available for services every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, usually with 3 days notice. I am very active and like to bring my own dogs to the dog park almost daily, so I aim to prioritize and maximize their activity needs. I live in a house with long leash extensions for my dogs to play in our spacious yard (working on a fence soon). I aim to take them to the dog park daily and they are very playful, friendly, submissive, active, and cuddly so I can take him on both the small and big dog side. I am very engaging, energetic, loving, and caring so I like to give my all to the dogs and create a fun and safe environment for them to exert all their energy and cozy up to me when they’ve got nothing left.

About: I have always grown up with dogs and cats in my house. I’ve been an animal lover my whole life! I’ve pet sat many times for friend and family. I can assist in medication administration and assist in training as well! I am familiar with pet first aid! I promise to love your fur babies like they are my own! I work as a paramedic and work 24 hour shifts. However, I only am on shift 6-8 days of the month! This makes my schedule fairly open to help out. My schedule does change every month but I can get my schedule ahead of time so I can plan your care needs ahead of time. Please reach out to see if I am available! My baby, Bear, is fairly spoiled with love :) He gets cuddles most of the days when I am off but also is very well trained. He gets lots of play time when I am off and gets to go on many many walks. I plan on treating your babies the same! However, if you have specific rules for your pets I will follow those as well. I am a firm believer in respecting boundaries and routines with your pets. I promise to do my best to keep them happy, healthy and well loved.

About: Hi!! I am a rising sophomore at ECU and my family and I just moved to Garner from New York. I am looking for dog care jobs over my summer break so I am available all day every day until I go back to school. I am a morning person and like starting my days quite early so any of you need anything in the morning, I would love to help! I absolutely adore dogs and everything about them! Any time there is one in the room I am drawn to it and it gets my undivided love and attention. Most of my family and friends call me the dog whisperer because all dogs love me too! I have been sitting for a little over two years and have experience with all ages, sizes and breeds. I love being outside and active, and going on walks is one of my favorite things to do. I also don’t mind picking up after the dogs. (Someones gotta do it lol). My family has had 2 dogs of our own but both are no longer with us anymore. They were my built in best friends and most of the time I enjoyed their company over my family’s. I have so much free time on my hands that I can work with as many that I possibly can! I like being up early and don’t mind being out all day. I can keep your gates and doors locked while we are inside. Make sure the dog is always on a leash before opening a door for a walk.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule and can make time throughout the week to care for pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care depending on the owner’s needs. I enjoy spending time with animals, so I always make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I prioritize pet safety by following owner instructions, supervising pets closely, keeping environments secure, and providing gentle, attentive care while sending updates so owners feel confident.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for every pet I care for. I take the time to understand each animal’s personality and needs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. With reliable communication, attention to detail, and a calm, caring presence, your pet will be treated like family. I am usually free everyday until around 3pm. Some weeks are different but I would love to communicate and find a way to fit your pet in. I create safe environments for pets by making sure they feel secure, relaxed, and respected at all times. I follow each pet’s routine closely, use positive reinforcement, and always supervise during play and feeding. I pay attention to their body language, give them space when needed, and keep their surroundings clean, quiet, and hazard-free. Whether it’s a cozy spot to nap or a calm walk outdoors, I prioritize their comfort and well-being in every moment.

About: I am knowledgeable with expressing anal glands on your dog when they become clogged and uncomfortable for your four legged friend. No dog breed or size is too much for me to handle. I am currently a graduate student at ECU with breaks between classes to ensure that your dog gets the bathroom break and exercise they deserve. I prefer to use a two leash system when walking a dog, a practice I picked up from my days as a volunteer dog walker at a no-kill shelter. This way, I can ensure your dog never leaves my side if they manage to slip out of their collar.

About: I have experience taking care of different types of dogs small and large since I was 11. I also have my own dog back home that’s a large dog. I used to take care of the pets in my neighborhood before getting my own dog. I’m a dog lover so I am also down to dog sit. My current schedule is pretty open since I have a part time job right now. I can schedule in walks, play time, dog love and another needs that the pet might need. I am able to keep the pet safe at its home. I’ve done dog/house sitting for my friends numerous times over several years. As long I am left care instructions and where all the necessary care things are, I will ensure your pet is well taken care of! They are in great hands! I have experience taking care of sick pets as well.

About: I have always loved caring for animals and treat every pet like a member of the family. While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, that allows me to provide your dog with my full attention and a calm, comfortable environment during their stay. My home features a secure fenced-in patio with pet-friendly turf for outdoor time, and I’m fortunate to have a large dog park directly across the street as well as another dog-friendly area within my neighborhood. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I can tailor their care to their individual needs. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I have also volunteered with animal shelters, giving me a strong understanding of dog safety and behavior. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I would be honored to provide reliable, attentive care for your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am currently a nursing student and stay at home mom. This allows me to give your fur babies my full attention and lots of love and interactive play! I believe every pet is happiest when their normal routine is maintained as closely as possible. Before each booking, I take time to learn about your pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite activities, medications, and any special instructions. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, potty breaks, and a clean, safe environment. Dogs have access to a fenced-in patio with pet turf and can enjoy walks or trips to the nearby dog park if approved by their owner. Cats are provided with a quiet, comfortable space, fresh water, clean litter boxes, and enrichment activities tailored to their personality. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I follow all care instructions carefully, provide regular updates and photos, maintain feeding and medication schedules, clean up after pets, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection while their family is away. My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.
