Dog Walking Pinecrest

About: If your pet loves treats, belly rubs, walks, playtime, or simply having a friend around, we’ll get along great! I’m passionate about animals and enjoy building trust with every pet I care for. My goal is to keep your pets happy, safe, and stress free while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I lost my best friend a little over a year ago, and while I’m not quite ready to welcome another into my home, caring for animals brings me so much joy. Spending time with your furry family members allows me to share the love I have for pets while providing them with the attention, care, and companionship they deserve while you are away. I am available from 5am- 9pm Monday - Friday. Saturdays and Sundays 7am-7pm. If other options are needed I am more than happy to discuss! Caring for your pet in your home consists of doing anything that your pets will need. I will treat your pet like it is my own.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with dogs and my ability to adapt to each dog’s unique needs, personality, and energy level. I’ve had dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m very comfortable administering medication, following special diets, and giving extra attention to dogs with specific health or care needs. I also have experience with dogs at all life stages, including young pets who need patience, consistency, and structure, as well as senior dogs who may need a gentler pace, closer monitoring, and a little extra comfort. One of my biggest strengths is being able to match a dog’s energy. I’m just as happy spending a calm day on the couch with a relaxed pup as I am playing fetch at the park for hours with a high-energy dog. My goal is always to make each dog feel safe, understood, and cared for like they’re part of the family. As a full time remote student, I spend most of my day at home studying, baking and playing video games, which allows me to provide consistent attention and care for pets throughout the day. My flexible schedule makes it easy to incorporate regular potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and walks into my routine. I’m home the majority of the time, so pets aren’t left alone for long periods and can get plenty of supervision, companionship, and engagement. Whether it’s sticking to a specific routine or giving extra attention to more active dogs, I can easily adjust my day to meet each pet’s needs. My apartment community includes a fully fenced dog park perfect for quiet, one on one playtime in the mornings or socializing with other dogs in the afternoons. I also have a secure, dog friendly balcony that gets plenty of direct sunlight, ideal for pups who enjoy relaxing and sunbathing. For dogs that need more exercise, I’m located right along the rail trail in Southend, making it easy to provide longer, scenic walks as part of their daily routine.

About: I am an active person who loves to work with energy filled dogs. I like to play training games in my large backyard, designed to tire them out and teach them to focus. I work full time in my home office. For boarding and my own fur baby. I keep a strict schedule of morning walks and feeding. Lunch hour playtime in the yard. Evening runs and drills. Over the weekends we always have a sunday funday at a dog park. I have a fenced designated dog park in my apartment complex, just a few steps from my door. My dog, Simba, loves to play tag and fetch.

About: Hi, I'm McKenna! My family currently owns 3 German shepherds in Dallas, Texas, which I care for intermittently. I've lived with large dogs my entire life, and I have extensive experience walking multiple-sized dogs simultaneously. During my high school years in Texas, I cared for my neighbors' dogs and walked them several times a day. Through my Catholic high school's community service, I was additionally given the opportunity to volunteer at numerous animal shelters. I always walk dogs on a secure leash and/or harness to comply with county animal ordinances. I can follow any behavioral preferences you set forth, such as not allowing your dog to jump during introductions, etc. I am very loving with pets and will not only provide superb care, but also well-deserved belly rubs! I am a former legal assistant, currently studying for the LSAT, which provides great flexibility during weekdays. I am moving to Raleigh at the beginning of August for a career transition, and I can work the entirety of July in the Charlotte area. Safety and kind care are key. I'm committed to the security of your home, as I handled very sensitive and private information while working for a personal injury firm these past 2 and a half years. I will provide a reassuring environment for your furry friend and ensure you stay communicated through photos and quick responses.

“Niya has walked my dog Remy a few times. Both times have been great. Would recommend for anyone!”

About: I’ve always been a big animal gal — growing up, I insisted on having fish, guinea pigs, rabbits, and even rats (though not all at once!). Most of all, I loved my big yellow lab, Opie. 🏡🐶🐱 When I moved to Charlotte in 2018, I quickly adopted my cat, Luna (now 7; 9lb) and in 2020 my dog, Aurora (now 6; 55lb). We live in a house in Wilmore (South End) with a fenced yard and access to great neighborhood walks! 🐶 Aurora is a very friendly gal who loves making new friends! She is comfortable sharing her space, treats, walks, and toys with others. 🐈‍⬛ Luna tolerates dogs in her space, lol. In the case of doggy day care or boarding, it’s very important to me that your pup is friendly toward (or even better, completely uninterested in) cats! I also have a crate and am able to supervise the multi-pet dynamic while I’m home and crate them while I’m away! 🗓️ Because I work unconventional hours (late afternoons and evenings), I’m available for walks in the morning and early afternoon ☀️ I do not work on Sundays and Mondays and am available for more frequent care/potty breaks on those days! I’m available Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays before 2:30PM and after 9:30PM! Fridays and Saturdays are available for pups who don’t mind hanging out with my pup while I’m at work most of the day 🫡 In the case of doggy day care or boarding, I live in a two-bedroom home with fenced-in yard and a furry companion (Aurora) to offer up! Potty breaks are readily available while I’m home, and my neighborhood is great for walks! My dog is 55 pounds, and I am comfortable walking with larger dogs. Pets are allowed on the furniture and can be crated if needed. If I’m dropping in to your home, I will of course be respectful of your space and treat it how I’d want you to treat mine!

About: I've been around animals my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets. Growing up, I helped care for our family dogs, a Golden Retriever named Miley, followed by Henry and a beagle terrier mix Tippy. I did feeding, walks, playtime, and daily care. I also had two guinea pigs, which taught me the importance of consistency and attention to detail when caring for pets. Over the years, I've also helped friends and family with pet sitting, feeding, walking, and checking in on their pets while they were away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members as if they were their own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As a cat owner, I spend time each day feeding, playing with, and caring for my cat, as well as keeping her environment clean and comfortable. I also enjoy being active and getting outside, so dog walks fit easily into my schedule. I work remotely, which gives me flexibility and allows me to provide attentive care, check-ins, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner's instructions and routines. In a client's home, I make sure pets stay comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and lots of attention and affection. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter approach, I'm happy to adapt to their individual personality and needs.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life — at one point I even had six of my own! I’m experienced with senior pups and pets who need a little extra medical attention, and I always provide gentle, loving, and reliable care. I’m currently fully available, which means your pup gets my complete attention and care. I’m here to meet all of their needs, big or small. Whether I’m staying with your pup or I am just looking in on them, I make sure their routine feels familiar and fun. I stick to your feeding, walking, and medication schedule, offer lots of playtime and snuggles, and send plenty of photo updates. My goal is for your pet to feel loved, safe, and totally comfortable while you’re away!

“Great with both our dogs and very friendly!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, including all throughout college, and have experience with everything from basic care to delivering medications to playtime to get out some energy! I trained two puppies myself and helped care for dogs through all life stages, including for my friends and family as well as my own. I have an extremely flexible schedule that allows me to break free for midday walk-breaks, medication schedules, and feeding times, and have the ability to stay overnight to ensure no lonely pets! While I can’t currently have pets in my own home, I do have a dog park, know the greenways and walking paths of the area, and can also take care of pets in the comfort of their own home! Whatever your pets routine and comfort level is, I can adhere to!

About: I grew up in a pet loving household with cats, dogs and the occasional hamster or two. My husband and I now have a sassy 13 year old calico named Mittens and our newest addition is a rescue puppy called Leia. We also recently had to say goodbye to our senior dog Arlie. I have plenty of experience with dogs and cats throughout their life stages and changing needs. I work for myself so my schedule is very flexible. Afternoons specifically I am usually wide open and love getting a good walk in with a pup! My weekends tend to be very flexible as well. I treat your pets as I do my own with lots of care, attention and love. After a life spent around pets I'm very good at reading their emotions and will do my best to have a fun and safe time together.
