Dog Walking Pleasant Garden

About: Your dog or cat will enjoy the perfect belly rub. I'll take them for long walks and make sure they get enough exercise and fresh air. I have my own dog, and she is 12 years old. I have taught her many tricks. She is a big sweetheart and would be as welcoming to your pet as I am! I have been taking care of dogs since I was around 14, and I enjoyed every moment of it. I thank you for choosing me if you do, and I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Im currently a student in college as well as taking care of your fur babies! I’m free free free to watch your fur babies!! No worries! I can handle both! I will first listen to the directions or what my client has recommended about keeping their home clean, and I will further work from there.

About: I've owned dogs and taken care of pets for neighbors, friends, and family members since I was 6. I have experience training puppies and am prepared to provide enrichment for high energy, low energy, young, and old pets alike. I love them all. I am currently a masters student at UNCG. I have classes on Monday and Wednesday and work with various performance groups throughout the week. My schedule is variable, so even though I am busy there are a lot of moments in between my daily tasks that allow for attention to be extended to a pet. In client's homes, I am respectful of any rules and protocol you'd like me to follow. I will stay in designated areas and follow any instructions you leave for me. If your pet is visiting me I don't have a yard, but I live in a quiet and very walkable neighborhood. I am on the ground floor of a house, so there are no risks associated with a deck or being multiple floors up in a building. Pets are welcome in all areas of my space, including on the furniture, unless you have a rule at home you would like me to reinforce as well. In my own home, pets are an extension of the family and are treated as such. I am an active person and would love to provide long walks, hiking, lake visits, and more with the permission of pet parents.

About: With 30+ years of experience working with animals, I bring a lifetime of knowledge, compassion, and hands-on experience to every pet in my care. My background includes pet sitting, veterinary hospital work, canine behavior modification and training, and animal rescue. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science as well as a Master’s degree. I offer in-home boarding for dogs under 30 pounds, in-home pet sitting visits (including cat care), house sitting, and dog walking services. My veterinary and caregiving experience allows me to confidently care for pets with a wide range of medical and special needs. I am comfortable administering medications, including oral medications, injections, and subcutaneous fluids, and assisting with surgical recovery—from minor procedures to major orthopedic recoveries and rehabilitation. I also have extensive experience caring for senior and special-needs dogs and cats. Three of my own dogs have had heart conditions, and two of those also experienced seizures, so I understand firsthand the additional attention and care that medically complex pets can require. I have taken numerous obedience and training classes with my own dogs and have extensive experience with training and behavioral modification. While your pet is in my care, my goal is not simply to keep them safe, but to help them feel happy, comfortable, loved, and enriched while you're away. Pet sitting visits are 20-30 minutes long and there’s no additional fee for additional pets. Overnights include staying at your home between the hours of 9pm-6am. Additional fees for lunch and late afternoon visits will incur if needed during overnight bookings. A Family Home for Your Dog I am a mom to three wonderful, animal-loving daughters and serve as the North Carolina Rescue Coordinator for Cavalier Rescue USA. I currently have three dogs of my own, and our family regularly welcomes foster and boarding dogs into our home. My children and dogs are accustomed to having new furry friends join us and genuinely enjoy welcoming them! Our boarders are treated just like our own pets. They are welcome throughout our home, including on the furniture, and are included in our normal family routine. I'm home most of the time, and when I do need to leave, it's generally for no more than 1–2 hours at a time. Our home also features a secured, covered deck attached to a fenced yard, giving the dogs a safe and enjoyable outdoor space to relax and play with us. We use baby gates throughout the home where appropriate to help prevent accidental escapes through doors, unsupervised access to stairs, and other potential safety concerns. Because I want to provide a calm, personalized experience, I do not board dogs from multiple families at the same time. Your dog will receive my full attention rather than being one of many dogs in a crowded boarding environment. Requirements for In-Home Boarding To ensure everyone's safety and comfort, dogs staying in my home must: Be comfortable and experienced around children and other dogs Be housetrained (pee-pad trained dogs are not accepted) Be current on vaccinations or have proof of appropriate titer levels Be maintained on heartworm and flea prevention Be neutered if male Be spayed if female, or not be in heat during the boarding stay Be crate trained, which is important for their safety during the brief periods when I need to leave the house Pass a required meet-and-greet before boarding so we can make sure my home is a good fit for your dog—and that your dog is a good fit for our family You will need to provide your dog's regular food and treats for the duration of their stay. Pickup and drop-off are available by appointment only between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM. My philosophy is simple: when your pet is in my care, they are treated like family. I want you to have peace of mind knowing that your dog or cat is receiving experienced, attentive, individualized care from someone who truly understands animals and loves what she does. I’m home most of the time caring for my own dogs and children. When I do need to leave, it’s just for quick errands or driving the kids somewhere. I’m available midday each day, for walks and drop-in visits for cats, farm animals, etc. We have a fenced yard, gates throughout the house, and deadbolt all doors to ensure we take extra time to secure dogs before entering and exiting.

“Erika is very responsible and my dog loves her. We keep in touch and I know I can always count on her.”

“Jorja was great! Our dog warmed up to her quickly and she took him on a nice walk! She almost made sure our cat got her food and medicine!”

About: I have a genuine love for dogs and am committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care for every pet I meet. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to learn their individual needs, whether that means a walk, playtime, or simply providing companionship. I believe in treating every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and communicative, providing regular updates and photos so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is happy and in good hands. I currently work a flexible remote job that leaves plenty of time to do checkins and provide pet care. My 17 year old sister loves animals as much as I do and can accompany me to give them twice the love. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help their pet feel comfortable and secure. During each check-in, I make sure they have fresh food and water, provide plenty of love and attention, clean up any accidents if needed, and ensure they have a safe, clean environment. For walks, I prioritize safety by using secure leashes, avoiding hazards, and walking at a pace that’s appropriate for the dog’s age, size, and energy level. I make sure they have time to exercise, explore, and take bathroom breaks while always monitoring their comfort and well-being. After every visit, I send detailed updates with photos so pet parents know how their pet is doing. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that keeps pets happy and gives owners peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life. I have worked at a dog daycare and as a dog sitter for 6 years and my husband has been a dog trainer for 10 years. We have 4 dogs of our own as well as 2 cats. I have experience caring for all ages of pets. I’m currently working part time from 6:30 am until 11 am or Noon so I am available for drop ins/short walks at 6 am and available for drop ins/walks any time from Noon - 8 pm I have 10 years of experience walking and handling pets in and out of my home. You can trust your pet will be safe in my hands!

“Nakia was very attentive to Flacka’s needs and went the extra mile to make him feel comfortable to eat and drink while we are away! She really made me comfortable being away from him.”

About: I've been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities. I've also volunteered with animal rescue organizations, helping foster pets, support adoptions, and assist with trap-neuter-return efforts for stray cats. Animals have always been a huge part of my life—including my rescued pet possum, Rocky, who has become best friends with my cat! I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to provide loving, dependable care while you're away. I took voluntary retirement in December 2025, so I am available to spend time with your furry friends 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. or overnight, all days of the week. I treat all animals as if they were my own, as well as your home, too. I am detailed, affectionate, reliable - and very tidy and clean!

About: With over five years of hands-on experience in animal care and kennel work, I’m passionate about providing the best for our furry friends. Currently, I work at a veterinary office, where I continue to deepen my knowledge and skills. I'm always on the lookout for training opportunities to enhance my expertise and ensure every pet receives top-notch care. I truly believe that a happy pet makes for a happy owner, and I’m dedicated to making that happen! I maintain a flexible work schedule, allowing me to ensure that pets are let out a minimum of three times a day—or more as needed. I am dedicated to providing consistent, reliable care to meet each pet's individual needs. Based on my experience, I prioritize caring for pets in the safety of their own homes, where they feel most comfortable and secure. This environment not only reduces stress but also fosters a sense of trust. I am dedicated to ensuring the well-being of each pet and am always ready to adapt my services to meet their needs, providing reliable support tailored to each client’s preferences.

About: I've been the proud owner of my senior Chiweenie, MaiTai, for over 6 years, and during that time, I've developed a deep bond and understanding of her unique needs. Caring for her has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and attentiveness, especially as she ages and requires more specialized care. I've also had experience with young Chihuahuas (1 and under) in the past, some of whom were timid and had been traumatized by previous abuse. This experience has allowed me to become skilled at gaining the trust of dogs who may need extra love and care to feel comfortable again. My background in caring for these sensitive dogs has helped me cultivate a calm and nurturing approach, which I bring to every pet I care for. Whether it's offering companionship, or simply providing a safe and loving environment, I am committed to ensuring your pet feels comfortable and cared for, just like my own MaiTai." I’m a college student with open availability to fit your schedule! I provide walks, playtime, cuddles, and fun activities tailored to your pet’s needs. I can also open on Sunday if needed, and I'm an early worm; win-win. I provide personalized in-home pet care, ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. I stick to their routine, offer engaging playtime, provide basic grooming, and give plenty of companionship to ease any anxiety. I also keep an eye on your home, ensuring everything stays in order. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority!

“Katie has been wonderful with our huskies! Our huskies are crazy, especially our boy husky, and we have had nothing but good experiences. Our dogs know what time she usually comes and days we don’t have Katie come they are waiting for her still. Katie is very kind and friendly. We’ve super appreciated the help!”

Cody P.

“Madison was absolutely amazing with my dogs! She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. The dogs were happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that Madison genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets. Thank you, Madison! 🐾❤️”

About: I have been pet-sitting and dog-walking since I was 11 years old and I love it so much. I already love your dog and I guarantee your dog will love me. I have taken care of dogs big to small and I love them all. I’ve never had someone unsatisfied with my dog-handling, only satisfied customers from the pooch to the parents. I’m very good at connecting with and understanding the dog, I know when they want food, when to go out, etc., etc. I have much experience with big dogs also so you don’t need to worry about me being afraid of them. Hope you will consider me!! I'm currently working part time but have plenty of time before and after shifts to take care of your pet. I would make sure to work around my schedule to give the pet the best of care. I am a very respectful house guest, I do what is needed for the dog and keep to myself otherwise. Happy to spend lots of time with the pet or just come and go if they are antisocial.

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was a teen, my family and friends have relied on me to care for their pets, walking, feeding, playing with them. I'm passionate about caring for animals and providing quality customer service. I currently working full time, with early hpurs, so I'm available every day after 11:30am to drop in to care for your fur baby. I care for my cat by giving him all the toys to play with, freshly cleaned litter box daily, fed 2 times a day and all the plush blankets he could ever want.

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and reptiles, including my own senior dog before she passed. I have experience in the medical field and am comfortable with giving medication orally and via injection if needed. I am comfortable caring for all ages of pets from puppies and kittens to seniors. Currently the only pet in my home is my senior bearded dragon who has an enclosure with a lid. I have just started a new job Mon-Thurs, and am available to give your fur babies all the love on the weekends or during the week if your pet is okay being alone for about 8 hours. I live on the edge of downtown and walk through Fisher Park at least once daily. I don't have a proper fenced in yard, as it is shared between several houses, but there is space for a potty break. I live in a fairly busy area so if you dog is noise reactive I probably am not the right fit for you.
