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.

“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.

“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!”

My goal is to keep them in their same routines and environment so that they have a peaceful and low stress experience.

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 promise to do my best to keep them happy, healthy and well loved.

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 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: 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 have an elderly cat, 14 yrs, that i currently take car of along with my 2nd cat. I have experience potty training, pet sitting puppies, and im comfortable cleaning up and walking both cats and dogs. Im currently a master's student at ECU. I’m doing my final semester and will be graduating soon, so I’m currently available whenever you would need my services! I have a fenced backyard with a lot of space, and i currently have 2 cats that i take care of. I brush my cats daily and feed them twice a day, while im home i spend time by either playing with them using one of their various toys or by just letting them sit on my lap. I treat all pets as if they are my own while in my care.

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.
