Dog Walkers in Royal Pines, NC

“Sierra has been walking my dog for several months now, is dependable, communicates well, and lets me know her schedule in advance. It's such a load off my mind knowing Champ will get outside for a walk, and I can focus on work. I highly recommend Sierra.”

“Alexis provided thorough, thoughtful, and caring mid-day walks for our pup. I was grateful that he was in such supportive hands. I highly recommend her pet care services!”

“Jennie was wonderful with my elderly, blind dog Rand. They had a great walk, she's very patient with him as he moves really slow. She sent pictures and stayed at least the full half hour. I will certainly re book!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs. I currently have a sweet, playful 70 lb bernedoodle who’s 2.5 years old and full of energy. My experience includes daily walks/runs, grooming, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also offer dog RUNNING services for those high energy doggos that just need an extra zoom around during the day! Just book as a walk and add in a message that you’re interested in running. :) Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I work 4 days a week at a local hospital, typically 7-8 hour shifts, so I’m home in the mornings and evenings to give pets plenty of attention. My own dog enjoys daily trips to the nearby dog park, plus quick potty breaks in the large grassy area behind my apartment. I make sure visiting pets get the same level of exercise, playtime, and affection to keep them happy and comfortable. In my home, pets have a safe, comfortable space, access to a fenced balcony, and constant access to fresh water. I follow their feeding schedules closely and provide regular walks or park visits for exercise. My friendly 2.5-year-old bernedoodle loves having playmates, and I always supervise interactions to ensure all pets feel secure. I tailor care to each animal’s needs, whether that means active play, cuddle time, or a quiet resting spot. If your pet is crate-trained and you’d like them to have a crate during their stay, please bring your own so they feel comfortable and at home.

“Stacey’s the best! Our dogs love her. Highly recommend:)”

“Emma was super attentive to our fur babies and went above and beyond caring for them. She tolerated my forgetfulness and was fast at responding. We will def continue to have her help with our kiddos as long as she's willing.”

Can’t wait to hear from you :) hi, I am a stay at home moms most of my kid’s are grown. I now have a six-year-old. but I am free pretty much anytime. I have help from family to watch him.

About: I am huge pet lover and throughly enjoy my drop in visits with animals. It’s an honor to have the opportunity to spend time with your pets. I am looking forward to speaking more about your needs. My schedule is pretty flexible. I generally do home visits first thing in the morning and in the evenings. I am happy to walk pets as well. I have a fenced in backyard but it isn’t super high if your dog is a jumper. I can walk/watch the dogs for bathroom breaks as well.

About: For eight years, I volunteered with the Wake County Animal Center in Raleigh, NC, where I fostered 60 dogs—from newborn puppies to senior dogs and every age and personality in between. While I’m not a certified dog trainer, I’ve worked with pups who had anxiety, reactivity, resource guarding, medical needs, and even deafness (I taught one dog 15 different signs!). I’ve handled recovery care after surgery, heartworm treatment, skin and eye issues, potty training, and medication routines that required attention multiple times a day. I feel confident and comfortable with any dog—big or small, shy or hyper, special needs or seniors. I haven’t had to give injectable medication before, but I’m completely comfortable learning and have no hesitation. I work part-time as an assistant for a local Asheville artist. I’m often able to adjust my hours around your pet’s needs, especially for midday walks, extended stays, or regular check-ins. Pet care isn’t just something I fit into my day—it’s a huge part of what makes me feel grounded, happy, and fulfilled. I haven’t fostered since moving to Asheville, and working with dogs again is a way I’m reconnecting with that part of myself. I share custody of three senior dogs—now 14, 13, and 12—and they’ve been with me most of their lives. My 13-year-old tripod, a boxer-hound mix, lives with me full-time and is my best friend. Because of him, I’m especially tuned into the needs of older or special-needs pets. At home, I live in an apartment with three private dog parks on the property. They’re usually empty, which gives us a safe place to play, run, or just sniff around. For boarding, your dog will need to meet mine first to ensure everyone vibes well together. In your home, I always do a meet & greet beforehand to get to know your pet and their environment, plus give you a chance to get to know me. Through my years of volunteering at a busy municipal shelter, I’ve developed a strong ability to read dog body language—whether that means giving space to a nervous dog, redirecting rough play, or stepping in safely if a situation escalates. I also know how to interrupt and break up dog fights safely, though I do everything possible to prevent them from happening in the first place! Your pet’s comfort and safety, and mine, are my top priorities- wherever we are.

About: I’m a registered nurse that also loves animals and would love to walk your pet on my days off. I will care for your dog as if they were my own. I work 3 days a week so I have 4 other days of the week to play around with for your pet’s needs. I have 2 dogs of my own as well so I am familiar with caring for dogs. I would care for anyone’s pet as if they are my own. I love all types of animals and treat them with the utmost respect and care.

About: I love dogs and wish that I could afford one of my own! I grew up with multiple dogs, big and small, cats too. I honestly love walking too so this seems like the perfect fit for me. I am a gentle and kind person who will take good care of your pup. I will take them on walks around town, hikes in the woods, or play a good game of fetch on the green! Always picking up after the dogs to keep this town clean. I usually work in the mornings but am free most afternoons. Please let me know if you are interested in working with me! I can't wait to meet you and your precious pup (or multiple pups)! Give me a bark when you're ready :)
