Dog Walkers in Rocky Point, NC

About: I have enjoyed taking care of our household pets since I was young. I have experience walking and working with dogs of various sizes. I’ve worked as a volunteer animal handler for Eagle's Den Animal Haven & Rescue, where I worked with puppies and abused animals to get them socialized, leash trained, and comfortable with people. I also have experience doing long-distance animal transport through volunteer work with Wheels4Paws and a job with New Start Animal Transport. Through all of this, I have found a passion for working with animals and I look forward to meeting you and your pup. I'm currently working part-time in the evenings. My normal start time for that job is 5:30pm. So, I'm available most days from 8:00am to 4:00pm, and late evenings after work when house/pet sitting. I try to maintain the same kind of care and routine that you have gotten your pet accustomed to. This includes sleeping arrangements, diet, feeding times, play times, and walks.

About: Hi, I’m Christa! I’m 33 years old and have hands on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, from dogs and cats to rabbits, ducks, chickens, goats, and horses. I grew up surrounded by pets and have always felt at home with all types of animals. I pet-sat on Rover a few times in 2015, but got busy with work and school and unfortunately had to give it up. I now work from home on my own schedule, and recently purchased my own home with a large fenced in yard, so I'm giving it another shot! I have two lab mixes: Bear (13 years) and Goose (7 months). My dogs are well-socialized and typically get along great with other pups! I also have two house cats, Meera and Jojen, and have about 9 stray cats that I care for and am currently working on getting spayed/neutered. I also have a degree in biology, where I took several animal focused courses that deepened my understanding of animal behavior, health, and care. This background helps me provide thoughtful, informed, and attentive care for all kinds of pets! Thanks for stopping by, I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet like one of my own! Since I work remotely on my own schedule training AI models, I’m home most of the day and can easily give your pet the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. In my home, I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I stick to their usual routines for feeding, play, and rest, and offer plenty of attention, supervision, and affection. I do slow introductions with my own pets to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible.

About: My family has been breeding dashounds since I was young so I’ve got experience nursing animals back to health, some including: baby squirrels, goats and a pig! I’ve also had experience breeding Persian kittens/blue tick coon dogs and nursed them since birth! I’ve worked on farms with horses, donkeys and turkeys, I’m well experienced with farm animals as well as reptiles. I’ve owned snakes, bearded dragons and spiders! I also have done volunteer work at my vet, whose a friend that I have on call just in case, if any accidents were to ever happen! Your animals are always safe and happy with me :) I do not watch different sitters animals together even if there friendly, I’ve just realized that animals can already be a little stressed out in a different environment and having to meet a stranger animal at the same time as having to deal with trusting me as a stranger just seems to stressful; so I don’t book multiples. I love snuggles so dogs on the beds and couches are fine with me! I have a teenage daughter who plays softball and loves to play with pups in the backyard, she’s figured out how to use them for her benefit by having them retrieve the balls for her while she’s practicing! We also have a park close by that I could take them to if they aren’t satisfied with the backyard. I treat all animals like they are my own and might overload you with pictures and videos of there time with me! Also, please let me know if any dogs ever have allergies because I’ve learned to earn most animals trust with treats! (I make my own organic treats usually mixing a blend of the extracts from juicing of celery, carrots, beets and sometimes fresh deer meat)! I have always had a passion for animals, I have a lot of experience fostering pets so I know how to make an uncomfortable doggy super comfortable. I am home full time except twice a week for an hour and a half at softball practice, but if the animals I’m babysitting are friendly they get to come along for the ride and get lots of petting sessions. I also have experience training duck dogs and deer dogs and can maybe teach them a few tricks while there here. No matter big or small I love to treat pets like babies, they are so dependent on people that it’s up to us as humans to give them the best care! I’ve also got experience grooming so if you ever need there nails trimmed up or a good bath/brush out just let me know and I’ll take care of it! I work remote and going to school for nursing so I am open/home almost any time and day! I can do overnight sitting as well as day time house visits! I love having them at my house but it’s no issue if there more comfortable in there own environment I live in murrayville area right near airport and have plenty of room for animals to play and exercise! I also have a horse ferrier and close vet friend who are always one call away with any medicines or help I need! I go bike riding and walking so it’s never an issue to bring any animals with me if they need to be walked or get some energy out! I do not mind pets on the couch either! If needed I also am very experienced with grooming and have all the tools and necessities needed, just give me a heads up and it’s no problem to trim nails or have bath times!

About: As a U.S. Navy veteran, retired NYPD officer, and experienced dog trainer, I bring professionalism, reliability, and genuine care to every aspect of my dog sitting services. My background includes years of training seeing eye dogs for Guiding Eyes for the Blind, where I gained a deep understanding of canine behavior, structure, and trust. That same discipline and compassion guide the way I care for each dog—providing a safe, structured, and loving environment while you’re away. You can count on me to treat your pet with the same dedication and respect that have defined my entire career. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I am retired and able to dedicate my full time and attention to the dogs I look after. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s what I love. My days are centered around walks, playtime, training, and making sure each dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. After years of structured service as a Navy veteran and NYPD officer, I truly enjoy spending my days providing dependable, compassionate care to pets and peace of mind to their owners. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, structured, and loving environment that keeps each animal comfortable and secure. I follow the owner’s routine as closely as possible—maintaining consistent feeding times, exercise schedules, and any training or medication needs. With my background training seeing eye dogs for Guiding Eyes for the Blind, I understand how important consistency and trust are for animals. I provide plenty of attention, supervised play, and affection, ensuring every pet feels at ease while their owner is away. As a retired police officer and Navy veteran, reliability and accountability are second nature to me, and I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect and care.

About: I’m experienced taking care of both cats and dogs. Neighbors and friends have often relied on me to watch over and care for their fur babies. I’m compassionate. Patience is my best quality. I’m currently working as an artist so my schedule is very flexible. I’m also able to provide a wide range of services from dog walking to overnight care. My schedule is very flexible, making it possible to be there for your pets whenever you need me, whether it’s walking your dog, dropping by for a check-in, staying with your pets overnight, etc. I can be patient with your pets but also give them the love they need.

About: ABOUT ME: Called a cat whisperer with a magnet for animals in need, I’m a semi-retired teacher who has helped save various types of animals all my life & amaze many with pet bonding & relative cat obedience but adore all animal types. Many pets warm up to me fairly quickly that never socialize much and fear most people. I usually quickly gain various animals’ trust, love, loyalty, & affection & am great with most, especially cats & dogs. SOME EXTRAS & BONUSES: As a trustworthy house-sitter who knows what having one can be like in my own house, I’ll also take in your mail/packages & water your plants (at no extra charge unless enough plants for a mini-jungle). COMFORT: Your pets will be as safe & comforted as possible when with me & I'll spend ample agreeable amounts of time with them so long as I feel the same at your place. However, I won’t stay overnight. DOG WALKING; MAY ENTAIL BONUSES &/ OR EXTRA COSTS: We can have fun at nearby doggy parks or nice scenery, if applicable, or by playing in your home or yard when possible. My drop in visit & house sitting costs EXCLUDE dog walking unless negotiated. Because I handle both cats & dogs, add $10 p/visit to those rates if I’m expected to do that vs. let them out in a preferably enclosed yard or bring them outside for more than 10 minutes to do their business. SPECIAL TREAT BONUSES & COSTS: Given time, they can look forward to affection, a pet massage, treats, & perhaps me trying to sing lullabies as I rock them to sleep after bedtime chats if desired 😂. Negotiable $10 extra for each brushing p/dog & $20 bathing rate may vary based on weight p/dog & is available during my idea of “house-sitting” or longer stay drop ins. Rates are negotiable. HOLISTIC PET CARE: I’ve learned a lot of priceless gems applying holistic pet care at times for cats & dogs, if interested. I’ve shared my house & yard with many cats & my 2nd dog TLC BONUSES: I talk to, pet, & play with animals regularly, given time & their temperament, so they feel as valued & loved as they usually instantly are. As long as I'm comfortable there & w/them, I may likely provide extra TLC/time unless requested not to because I know firsthand how anxious many pets are without their humans. SCHEDULE: You'll likely be pleased with the time & care given to your pet(s) unless they conflict with info. below: If accepted after meet & greet, I’ll come up to twice per day for sitting. I’ll bring any dog(s) out up to twice per visit only if need be, especially for puppies. I may have sufficient time otherwise but prefer late mornings & before dark any time of week. If needed in early mornings, evenings, or night, the schedule may be a conflict, especially if you’re further than 10 miles from where I am. If GPS pic shows YOU’RE MORE THAN 10 MILES from either place before our meet & greet, let’s discuss fair & agreeable extra convenience fee for time & gas I’ll be commuting that day & possibly throughout the job, especially if I’m working otherwise then. SAME AS DIRECTLY ABOVE IF I MUST PAY for PARKING &/or YOU’RE NOT IN A HOME WITH AMPLE EASE & AVAILABILITY of PARKING such as your own private driveway, lots of spots on your block near entrance, or it otherwise takes several minutes to get from my car into your home. Considering safety, my own multiple pets including spoiled dog 🐶 😅, & that I may be working remotely or not, AN AGREED UPON MINIMUM # of HOURS P/DAY is the MOST I’LL LIKELY DO vs. OVERNIGHT scheduling. I’ll hopefully break my own dog’s separation anxiety soon & must balance those needs with your own pet(s). If I do consider being there overnight house sitting for you, “please consider possibility” of my small 14 lb shih tzu dog coming leashed & in a carrier to stay with me if there’s a room or place (that doesn’t have hardwood or a rug) to keep him separated from your pet(s). Yes his spoiled butt still has tantrums that include relieving himself on the floor or carpet on occasion when mad at me (usually for leaving him) but if not another available room like a bathroom, I’ll keep him in his carrier during the likely 2-4+ hrs housesitting p/day so your pet(s) & he should be fine. SAFETY, TRUST, & ENVIRONMENT for HOUSESITTING: For safety & privacy, I’m willing when able to stay for a minimum agreed upon amount of hrs. but not comfortable with overnight unless the unlikely event I feel VERY safe, cozy, comfortable, & secure in doing so. I must be able to trust that I will be protected in private moments as well & don't mind spending hours daily in a decent home for house sitting under those conditions but must feel fully comfortable & safe for overnight stays (which’ll likely have .1% chance of happening). We can discuss this further & some things mentioned may have changed since time of posting but THERE MUST BE SECURE LATCHES + LOCKS ON ALL ENTRANCES, including window locks. PROVIDE THE # TO YOUR SECURITY, FRONT DESK, LANDLORD, &/or SUPERINTENDENT, IF APPLICABLE, in case of emergency 🆘. ABSOLUTELY NO ONE ELSE SHOULD HAVE KEYS THAT CAN ENTER WHILE YOU’RE AWAY!!! (2 prior incidents were ENOUGH)! During meet & greet, please show me where applicable fire extinguishers & any other life saving devices such as escape ladders from upper floors are just to be on the safe side.

This may vary depending on dog's usual schedule. - Dogs have daily individualized walks. - I will help instill everyday manners & any sort of training help you may need. - Of course treats & cuddles daily! - I have a TON of references, you may ask me for the list!
