Dog Walkers in Pope Air Force Base, NC

“Meghan was an outstanding dog walker. She played with Steven my German shepherd and sometimes hung out even longer than she was required to. She even cleaned his ears and put medication in them for me because poor Steven suffers from frequent ear infections. Which I am certain wasn’t easy to do , Steven hates it when you touch his ears. She left detailed notes and you could tell genuinely cared for Steven. Highly recommend”

About: Puppies need time, patience, and most of all fun! Most of the time, puppies are stripped away from their families and are just looking for their pack. It is very important to create a safe environment and show love towards dogs. They are our protectors, and we are their caregivers I am retired. Although my husband is in the military, I do have free time most of the week. I am more than willing to be flexible and to also be a routine caregiver. For both dogs and cats, I do have two cats and one dog. I understand that while my pets are family, they are all individuals. I will take the time to learn each pet as an individual and not generalize their species.

About: I’m an experienced petsitter who has been doing this since I was 14. But I began taking the job seriously 4 years ago. I have experience with senior and special needs pets. I’ve also administered medication to cats, dogs, and fish. I have experience working in a veterinary hospital so you can trust that I’ll always treat your pet the same way I would at work! With the upmost care and kindness. I’m currently working part-time, so I have very flexible availability to care for your furry family members! If you need extended care please let me know in advance. :) I provide drop in services and house-sitting services too! I have one meet&greet before the first official day of service and will send pictures at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But I don’t mind sending more if that makes you more comfortable!

“Selena has been walking my dogs a couple times a week for the past month. She is very communicative and is there for my last minute request I’m super thankful for! Would highly recommend!”

I work from home and my husband is deployed most of the year so I am available to watch dogs and of all ages. Even will help with potty training and bathes I have a crate if needed, my own fur friend is a 7 year old pit bull mix and is super loving and loves to play. She’s my best friend and beyond friendly with all dogs we go for long walks in the mornings and evenings at the state park near my home where she gets the chance to explore and experience wildlife and hiking first hand

About: I've been caring for all types of animals since i was 12 years old. I've trained dogs such as German Shepherds and Pitbulls, and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I currently have the pleasure of loving 2 of my own special needs cats and a large tarantula. As well as this, my previous employment was a small pet care business in Georgia providing drop in visits for feeding, playtime and potty breaks, overnight sitting, walks, extended stays and taking care of exotic animals like birds. Throughout my life I've personally owned a snake, rabbit, hamsters, cats, dogs, spiders, moths and a bird! I'm looking forward to be an extra loving hand for your pets! I'm currently a full-time pet carer, caring for my special needs cats and others' lovely pets. I have plenty of time to care for your beloved fur babies and understand the ever-changing pace of life with pets, and am happy to accommodate. Any timeframe and any day, you can count on me to be reliable! Every pet parent is different and we all like specifics when it comes to the pets we love, so I always like to discuss with you about what you'd like done regarding crating, backyard time, car rides or park visits and waste disposal. I NEVER use punishment on any pet, and instead prefer a positive reinforcement only approach. I would like to be aware of your pets' allergies, triggers, injuries and fears so I can provide the best experience for them and for you!

“Jenny is extremely patient, comforting, and understanding with our Toby, who can be shy towards newcomers. Thanks to this, we have been able to comfortably travel knowing he is in her good hands for stop-in walks!”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats since I can remember. I will provide attentive and loving care to your pet as if it were my own. I am an active duty veteran and current reservist, so I also have access to base for anyone there who is interested. I charge higher rates for distances over 15 miles away to offset the cost of fuel. I am available from 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Monday - Friday. I am not available weekends. I am happy to stay at your place within the above time frame or just drive over as needed. I ensure pets have food and water at all times or on provided schedule. I take pets on walks, play fetch, give belly rubs, baths, and any other needs your pet has. I am comfortable with all types of dogs, cats, or other type of pet.

“Highly recommend Joseph and his family to watch your dogs. I needed someone to come to my home and walk both of my dogs six days a week, for the past four weeks. Extremely reliable, trustworthy, and my dogs loved him and his family. I received daily updates and pictures. I will definitely be using him for future boarding needs and services.”

About: Other than being able to have base access availability. I’ve cared for many pets over the years and have had my own since I was 11. I grew up with cats and guinea pigs, and I’ve also pet-sat for dogs, bunnies, and more. I love all animals and am happy to help with bathing and light grooming too. I'm currently a student so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your pets as needed! I'm flexible on all times of the day. I always prioritize safety by following your pet’s routine and any special instructions closely. I make sure doors and windows are secure, keep hazardous items out of reach, and monitor your pet’s behavior for signs of stress or illness. I’m also comfortable giving baths or medication if needed. I will always recommend and require, a meet and greet to ensure that all safety measures are in place.

About: Hello, my name is Sara. I have a bachelor's degree in Veterinary Medicine, I obtained it in Puerto Rico. I worked for three years in a shelter for dogs and cats. Caring for and loving animals is my passion, I can assure you that while you are on vacation your pet will have a good time with me too. I am currently unemployed so I can accommodate your pet's needs and keep him up to date on his day. I can take care of the weeks and even the weekends I have a fenced yard , one female husky and a special cat that she was born without a leg but the two are friendly. I have no problem allowing pets inside the house, I don't leave them in the yard, and my neighborhood is quiet and safe for walks.

About: I’ve owned all variety of animals since I was little, from small animals like rabbits and guinea pigs to dogs and cats and even large animals like cattle! I am no stranger to taking care of pets, as I currently have 2 doggies, a bunny, and a snake too. I have years of experience caring for and training these babies in a home setting, but also plenty of handling and caring for them in a professional setting as well! I spent over a year working for a doggie daycare and boarding facility, handling all sizes and attitudes you can imagine. From friendly to feisty, small Chihuahuas to large Great Danes, and our facility also accepted cats and small pets as well. I learned how to handle different types of personalities and bond with all types of animals here, it was the most fun job I’ve ever had. I also learned how to watch body language in the daycare setting, and know when they aren’t too happy with my actions or another pets. After that, I worked at a vet office for about a year, where I learned how to handle and bond with anxious animals who may not be as excited to see me as I am them, and also basic medication administration skills. This job also taught me how to remain calm during emergencies as we accepted those types of calls, or even smaller injuries/issues, and what vet offices will be best to reach out to in what situation. To sum all that up, my experience has provided me with a lot of skills in handling all types of pets and their care situations, even aggressive ones as well. I now work a part time job that allows me to provide home visits and walks, which is why I’m looking to get started! I’m blessed with the time to pursue a second job doing something I love, which is being around and caring for animals. I work either really early opening shifts that have me done with work around 10AM, or “mid day” shifts that allow ample time for morning visits before I go in as well as plenty of stops after. I’ll be sure to communicate what my situation may be during the days requested, I want the owner, pet, and myself to get the most out of every booking possible :) When stopping by other’s homes to care for their pets, I make sure to give them plenty of time to potty or clean up any messes/litter boxes depending on the situation. That is so important when making visits while owners are away! I also make sure to spend plenty of time with the pet, I love being around them and as long as they are accepting of the company I don’t want them to feel alone while their owners are away. I’ll never overstay my welcome of course, but I’ll be sure to give lots of love before I go :). My own pets have a feeding schedule we follow, so I am no stranger to following one of those, or filling up free feeding bowls as well.

About: Hi! I’m Gabriel, a veteran, teacher, and lifelong animal lover with plenty of experience caring for dogs. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I live in an apartment but only board one dog at a time, so your pet gets plenty of individual attention. I’m very active and enjoy long walks, and there’s a dog park nearby where I can take your dog to run and play. As a teacher in a year-round district, I also have extended breaks when I’m available for full-time pet care, which works well for longer trips or vacations. I look forward to giving your pet great care and giving you peace of mind. I’m available to board most weekends and especially during my school breaks since I work on a year-round schedule. On workdays I’m off by 3:00 PM, which allows me to stop by homes in the afternoon and evening to care for pets. My Home: I have one dog named Libby who can keep your pup company. I only take one additional dog at a time, so your pet will receive plenty of individual attention. I also live near the Cape Fear River Trail and walk it regularly, so your dog will get plenty of outdoor time and exercise. Client’s Home: When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful, attentive, and professional. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure your pet stays comfortable and in their normal routine.

About: I have taken care of lots of dogs in the past and used to groom dogs on the side. I just want to make sure all pets are happy and well taken care of! I’m currently working part-time, but my schedule is very flexible! I am usually free on the weekends and the afternoons after 4 in the afternoon. I have a fenced yard and I don’t have any pets at home. There is also a dog park not too far from me great for walks!

About: Took a break for a while, moved to NC from GA, now I’m settled and ready to take of your loved ones ♥️ I have been taking care of a range of pets (cats, dogs, fish, etc) for nearly 10 years. I love all animals the same, just as everyone should! I am able to make time to get to know your pet well before the actual pet sitting job. I want you and your family to feel as comfortable as possibly leaving your animals in my care. I can take your pets on as long as a walk as they need to tire them out for the evening or even to start their day! I have a dog of my own and I will treat your pet with just as much endless love as I would her. I am available for most weekends, just need to be given a few days notice. Whatever your situation, I will try to work something out to be there for your pets! I have a fully fenced yard for when I am open for boarding/day care. I am able to crate your fur baby if needed, feed, any other care needs your pet has. I stay outside with all the dogs whenever they are here.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child - both dogs and cats! I have done it as a drop in service, staying overnight at someone else’s home, and as boarding in my own home. We love all dogs, and frequently watch our friend’s dogs of all ages. Currently live on base so must have base access for boarding! I am a stay-at-home-mom so I am home all day - your dog would never be by themselves! We let our own dogs outside to play multiple times a day, and always have water out for them. We also frequently go on walks in the evening to get that last bit of energy out. I have a fenced in yard, and 2 super friendly golden retrievers. Charlie (5) and Emma (4) are both neutered/spayed, and love other dogs. We allow them on the furniture which would extend to your pet too, but we can also crate your pet too if that’s what you prefer.
