Dog Walking Pinehurst

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a pre-teen, but fell in love with animal care fully in my junior year of high school, after I began volunteering at the Everett Animal Shelter. Since then, I have changed positions and worked as a post-surgery volunteer with PAWS, transporting and handling anesthetized animals after they underwent surgeries. This summer I am also interning at PAWS again, this time as a Foster Care Intern, where I manage the entire foster care system behind the scenes. Additionally, I have worked with large animals such as horses while volunteering, managed and milked dairy cattle, and took care of pigs as my job on the side. I will continue to grow my portfolio, as I am a Pre-Vet Animal Science major at Washington State University with the goal of becoming a veterinarian one day. I am currently on summer break in my hometown (Everett) and have pretty open availability. I intern at paws from 8am-12pm on Sundays & Mondays, and 12-5pm on Thursdays, but other than that, I am free for walks, house sitting, or drop ins! Safety is extremely important during both house sitting & walks! For walks, I like to make sure dogs stay on the side of the sidewalk away from the road, as well as being properly harnessed and equipped with essential needs like poop bags and water incase of an emergency. I also keep a sharp eye out for other dogs to steer clear from unwanted interactions. Additionally, during house sitting, outside doors stay locked at all times, and your pet is watched 24/7. No escapes will happen on my watch! I am open to following any other rules, expectations or suggestions you have regarding your pet & house’s safety!

“I appreciate Mishie's flexibility: She is new to us and was not planning on starting for several more weeks with my pup but I picked up extra shift and Mishie was available with a little rearranging of the day she made sure my Bella had a good walk and some attention to break up her day while I was at work. Thank you for taking the time and the care for put little velociraptor.”

About: I have been caring for dogs since 2016, gaining years of hands-on experience and developing a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and well-being. I hold a special place in my heart for senior dogs and am deeply committed to providing them with comfort and a loving forever home. In 2020, I rescued my beloved Annie, who became an irreplaceable part of my life. Earlier this year, she sadly crossed the rainbow bridge, leaving behind a legacy of unconditional love and companionship that continues to inspire my dedication to dog care.I take great pride in being a responsible, attentive, and compassionate caretaker. My goal is to ensure that every dog in my care feels safe, loved, accepted, and well looked after, especially during times when their owners are unable to be present. Your dog’s comfort, happiness, and well-being are always my highest priorities. 🐾 I work full time; however, my schedule is flexible, allowing me to dedicate time, attention and care to your furry friend. I am available to take your friend on regular walks, provide drop-in visits, and closely monitor their well-being when you are unable to do so. My priority is to ensure that your pet remains comfortable, safe, and well cared for throughout the day, receiving the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I live in a well-maintained apartment that has been fully dog-proofed to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for furry friends. The space features large open windows and skylights that allow an abundance of natural sunlight to fill the home, making it an ideal setting for dogs who enjoy relaxing and sunbathing as my own Annie once did. I also have a large crate available for dogs who are crate trained and find comfort in it. Dogs are welcome on the couch, as I believe they should feel at home, relaxed, and included during their stay. My goal is to provide a calm, secure, and welcoming environment where your dog can feel comfortable and cared for at all times.

“Cedric did a wonderful job with my nervous Cattle Dog and she warmed up to him quickly which is not common! He is kind and considerate and trustworthy and I look forward to having him walk Misty again soon!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 8 years and truly love working with animals of all kinds. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, including puppies and senior dogs. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, bathing, and giving lots of attention and playtime. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to keep their pets safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every pet like my own. I’m available on weekends for overnight pet sitting, where I can give your pet lots of attention, care, and companionship.

“Meaghan did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. She was quick to respond to my initial inquiry and answered any questions I had. She was very prompt for the requested walk times and provided daily updates of their walks. I highly recommend her services for your pets and would book with her again in a heartbeat.”

About: I have been caring for people and animals all of my life. I have worked with in home care, as a nanny, and volunteered at animal shelters. I am the purfect candidate to help you and your furry friends! I currently work from home so I have plenty of time to walk the dog, make house visits, or hold down the fort while you’re out for the weekend. Until now I was just doing pet care for family and friends, but I’ve enjoyed it so much that I decided to offer my services on Rover.

About: I have had and taken care of dogs and lizards since I was 12. I am home from college for the summer. I am an athlete who is happy to help keep your pets active. I have experience house/pet sitting aside from taking care of my own pets. I’m offering pet care during the summer when I have a very flexible schedule. I work some weeks, but I keep my availability updated and only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to. When I’m caring for your pet, they’ll receive plenty of attention, playtime, and loving care. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’ll follow your instructions carefully to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll make sure your pet is safe, well cared for, and receives lots of attention. I’ll also send regular updates and cute photos so you can relax knowing they’re in great hands.

“Adam is fantastic! He's reliable and a quick to respond to messages and requests. He quickly learned my dog's favorite spots in the neighborhood and let's him watch his squirrel friends. He provides reports and pictures. After a long walk with Adam, my dog is ready to nap until I get home from work. Totally recommend Adam!”

“Marlene goes above and beyond walking my dog and making sure he is well taken care of while I’m away at work. She is a great person to work with!”

“She’s been an amazing dog walker for us! My dog absolutely loves her—she’s incredibly friendly, patient, and gentle, which made a huge difference right away. In just a couple of days, he’s already grown to trust her, and there is improvement in his walks (calmer and more confident). Great communication and truly caring. Highly recommend!”

“Laurel-Ann was great with our two larger than life pups! Even when one wasn’t feeling good, she kept me in the loop with detailed updates and pictures. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”

Nicoletta L.

“Melanie was EXCELLENT! My two furbabies are a 3-mo old puppy and a 2.5-yr old high strung pup who doesn't accept people easily. Melanie clearly took great care of them as they were both happy and excited to see me upon my return, but not crazy stressed at all like one would expect after a totally new person and experience and my being gone so long. I am definitely using Melanie again and highly recommend her. My pups got great attention and care!!”

“Knox loves Hallie! I was looking for a sitter and interviewing folks, but Knox was not having it or picking anybody until Hallie came along. He gets really excited when she pulls up and comes home a happy hound. She’s on time, responsive and even walked in the pouring rain for an hour without a coat. Will definitely keep Hallie around for walks, and can rest easy knowing he’ll be in good hands when I am on vacay. Thanks Hallie!”

About: I've been a dog handler for about eight years. I started at Meg's Dog House as my first job out of high school and learned everything I know about dogs in my 7 years working there. When Covid hit, Meg and her husband retired and I moved to Seattle where I have spent the last year working as a live in caregiver until recently moving into my own place. I just moved to Arizona after a decade of wanting to make the switch (grew up in Washington and hate the weather) and would love to pick up some side jobs here and there. While Rover cannot be my fulltime job due to the inconsistencies of bookings, I do maintain a main job but I do dedicate most my available free time to the dogs I'm watching when I am off work and schedules would be thoroughly discussed before booking. I have two dogs and two kittens, so I'm used to having animals and catering to them around my schedule. Currently I have open availability but this will change when I get a job so it just depends on my new hours but generally speaking I like a minimum of 3 walks daily, with at least one of them being to an area where they can safely run off leash or on a long line to stretch their legs. However the client prefers. I am adaptable and willing to learn. I have worked with special needs dogs, older dogs, and have a lot of experience with puppies. I am a novice trainer and groomer as well so my whole world is centered around animals!

“Nicole was amazing with my lab. Somehow managed to get all her energy out and give her all the love she needed. Not an easy task! I would highly recommend!”

About: 2026 update. My lap is nearly always occupied by an 11 year old black cat named Darth Vader. He is bold and social with people, cats, and dogs. Then theres our oldest, Mimi, a 13 year old black cat who is much more timid. Thumbs, our polydactyl calico floof is 6 years old now. Thumbs also hides out often. Both girls have come out of their hidden spots once used to guests. I’ve been around animals as long as I can remember. For many years I had large dogs, pitbulls and mixes. Most of my pets have started off as rescues, but all became loved family members. Our dogs have all crossed the rainbow bridge, but that didn’t remove my talent, passion and care with canines. I currently work part time in Mukilteo. My profession will take priority for roughly 6 hours a week. I do not work overtime, nor on weekends. This seems like a strange question. I care for my pets by feeding them, making sure they have water, cuddling and loving them, walks, and sometimes just naps together.

“Jennifer is the best. She is very personable and professional. At our meet and greet our pup took to her right away. She answered all our questions, and wanted to know all she could about our dog. She now walks our dog several times a week and has just been wonderful. I highly recommend her.”
