Dog Walkers in Osceola, NC

About: With over 26 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I bring a level of knowledge and confidence that goes beyond basic pet sitting. I've raised, trained, and worked closely with my own dogs over the years, friends,and family- giving me real world understanding of behavior, routines, and what each dog needs to feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pup is high-energy, shy, senior, needs any medication, or somewhere in between, I adapt my care to match their personality and routine so they feel at home even when you're away. My goal is simple: provide reliable, attentive care that keeps your dog happy,secure, and well loved and gives you complete peace of mind. I am focusing on working with what I love. That just happens to be dogs! My availability is open so I'm ready to get started! I offer everything EXCEPT for boarding in my own home or cat care as I am highly alleric. I keep to my clients routine as closely as possible, I love very specific instructions so I can make sure I'm doing what needs to be done to make sure the pets are well taken care of. My dogs get playtime daily, they go out multiple times a day, and they get treats in moderation. Positive reinforcement is the only way to go. No yelling, or anything of the kind. I am patient, even if accidents happen.

“Cynthia is very patient with Kwame as he can be a handful. As I work externally and my daughter works at home this walk has really helped Kwame. Thank you Cynthia”

About: I treat every dog like family—lots of love, attention, and a routine that keeps them comfortable and stress-free. I have experience with both energetic puppies (helping reinforce potty training, basic commands, and structure) and senior dogs who need a little extra care, patience, and sometimes medication support. I’m very attentive and pick up quickly on each dog’s personality and needs. Plus, I keep you updated with pictures and check-ins so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing! Pet care is intentionally built into my daily and weekly schedule so I can provide consistent, high-quality attention without ever feeling rushed. I block off time specifically for each pet to ensure they receive the care, exercise, and interaction they’re used to at home. My routine is designed to prioritize reliability, flexibility, and a calm, structured environment—so your dog experiences stability, not disruption. I provide care that keeps your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible, whether in my home or yours. In your home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s established schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, including medications. In my home, I create a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets receive plenty of attention, supervised care, and a calm routine. I’m mindful of each dog’s personality—whether they need more activity, structure, or a quieter setting. My goal is always the same: your pet feels secure, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Animal lover since birth & I got it honest. My mom is a cat person & my dad is a dog person, so I’ve taken care of many throughout childhood. Sisters brought home class pets we all enjoyed having around. Now as an adult I foster animals in need. From baby through senior, I’m good with all ages & breeds. I currently have a flexible schedule. Check ups, potty breaks, feeding, & play time will be no trouble. I mostly have my phone on person, so getting in touch with me is quick & easy. I live in a wonderful, friendly apartment complex with my cat & husband. The property has 2 fenced in dog parks, sidewalks great for walks with plenty of poop stations around. Bigger dog park with miles of walking/ biking trails just 5 mins down the road. All animal(s) being taken care of are seen as my own & respectful of any wishes you have during our arrangement. I look forward to meeting you & your pet(s).

“Levi loved his walks with Aracely. She took excellent care of him and we will be using her in the future. She was communicative and on time.”

About: I have cared for all different types of animals since I was 7 years old. I have a solid background in behavioral psychology, dealing with challenging behavior, and training puppies. I love every minute that I get to spend with animals! My schedule is pretty flexible and I am happy to work with you. I will do my very best to accommodate you and your pet. The health and safety of your pet is my number one priority. I will also maintain their routine, environment, and preferences so they are happy and comfortable!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 20. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, administer meds, as well as house sit. I have 1 dog (11), 2 Cats and 2 boys( trust me they count as animals). I'm a single mom, on disability and looking for extra income. As a SAHM I can accommodate almost any schedule. I moved from CT a little over a year ago, and I miss my bonus fur friends. My elderly dog won't allow me to pet sit in my home but I am willing to come to you. I also have references upon request.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 4 years and have grown up around both dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals truly comes second nature to me. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I always focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them attention and affection, I’m reliable, attentive, and dedicated to providing the best care possible. I am available mornings, afternoons and nights to care for your dog. I work full time and get off around 1pm everyday. My schedule is extremely flexible! I can walk dogs, feed them and play with them. I can follow your routine to the best of my ability and do whatever it is you typically do to keep your dog happy!

She has proven that she can be trusted and cares about doing what is right! We need many more young people to be like her this world it would be a better place!”

“Grace was an absolute lifesaver! Bella had a previous walker booked through the rover website, however after leaving my dog in the house alone for hours I immediately began to seek a new replacement. Grace was able to come the same night and walk Bella. I was highly impressed and definitely recommend her to others.”

About: Customers will love that I love animals and they will be able to feel it! I have had many animals for long periods of my life. My Cagney ( a min pin) passed when she was 16. My Boo ( a black cat) passed also when she was 16. They were the best! My babies are always interesting - all their personalities make them all so different just like people, except that they love you unconditionally. They are always there no matter what! One of my all time favorites was a bulldog I used to pet sit. He was a funny slobbery clumsy little man. Sliming corners of my jeans and my shoes and running as hard as he could to me when I came thru the door and always ready to hang out and cuddle. Fun stuff!!!!! One customer had two cats that required lots of love visits! They loved to play and run all over when u visited. Mommy Suzanne loved pics so my son and I would get them playing and start taking pics. Sweet personalities. My weakness used to be taking in animals when I couldn't afford any more. I try not to do that now - instead I try to place strays that others bring me into other good homes. My brother took in one such cat that I took in as a rescue. Jazz brought him and my brothers wife a lot of happiness over the years! I am glad I took him in and that my brother added him to his household as a forever family!! The pics in my profile are: Thor the bulldog! Thor Thor bully Thor! Rocky the red min pin- big bark ! Little man!(he's older and whiter in this pic) Boomer is a good ole boy that my younger brother adopted. Just a super calm dog that you can only love. Mae Mae the cat - very RARE close encounter with her on my knee!!! #mustescapefromhumans The last one is good mix dog sitting in his front yard after I have taken him for a walk. His name is so different I can't remember how to say or spell it. Protective dog that I kept for my friend Val. Loves his regular walks. I currently work full time but work from home but and can work from your home if house sitting and/or visit when needed thruout the day(s). I follow your lead. Whatever you allow them to do i will allow and will restrict as you see fit. I go by your rules.

About: It’s your new “Step Dog Mom” I believe every pet deserves Dog-Mom level care—the kind where they’re treated like family, not just a client. With years of experience caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities, I pride myself on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment where your dog can truly relax. I’m extremely patient and gentle, whether I’m bonding with an anxious rescue, entertaining an energetic puppy, or tending to the needs of a sweet senior. I pay close attention to every detail, from their feeding schedule to their favorite belly rub spot, and I’m skilled at reading body language to ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home. I provide regular updates, cute photos, and even fun paw report cards so you always know how your fur-baby is doing. Life can be unpredictable, and I do my best to be flexible and understanding when schedules shift. Most of all, I love building connections with each pet I care for—because to me, they’re not “just pets,” they’re family. 🐾 Im available Thursday to Sunday. On Thursday and Friday only I’m available after 5:30pm (due to me having a full time job from home). Saturday and Sunday I’m available all day 🙂 For any Drop-In visits or Walks I do require a complementary meet and greet before booking to ensure your pet is comfortable with me and their “home space” ❤️ Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first in your home. I take time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs before each visit. I follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as given, and always make sure your pet has fresh water and a clean, calm environment. I respect your space—leaving your home just as I found it—and keep doors locked, alarms set, and your pet safely indoors or secured outside as requested. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive to body language, especially with shy or anxious pets. You’ll receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of many dogs throughout my life. Not only have I had the opportunity to raise, train, and take care of my babies, but I have had the glorious opportunity to be able to watch my friends and family’s animals as well. I have had the opportunity to take care of animals of all ages, from just a puppy to a senior age. With this being stated, I am very patient when it comes to animals. I am able to train, walk, and give the attention needed for your pets. In addition, I am also able to administer medication if needed! I am a stay at home cat mom, and have open availability to consistently watch your animals as well as be able to have as many drop in visits as you would like!! I care for pets in all different ways as each pet is different!! I would love to have an in depth conversation of the needs of your animals! I am available to take them for walks, playtime, or even cuddle! With each animal being different, I definitely love to get to know what each one prefers, and create a care plan for them based upon their preferences and needs.

“We are so appreciative of Lindsey! She was willing at the last minute to come do a meet and greet with our pups and step in the next day for walking Bailey!”

About: I’ve had 2 large dogs growing up. For the last two years periodically I have been a pet sitter for multiple dogs. I would love to assist others in their pet care! I am a law student home for the summer. My schedule changes every week. But, it is pretty flexible. Don’t hesitate to reach out even if you need my care that doesn’t fit into my “fixed” schedule on this app. I pet sit at others home and am able to easily adapt to their routines. When walking dogs I am aware of my surroundings and puts the dogs needs and safety first.

About: I am an animal lover to the max. I have been a pet sitter for some years now and have enjoyed it all from training young pets to caring for our more senior animals. I am currently working from home, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets and tend to their needs. I would be happy to bring your pet along with me in my day to day. I have an unfenced, private yard and a puppy to keep your pets company. I can crate your dog if needed, and I have ample space to give them whatever space they need to feel comfortable.
