Dog Walkers in Ruffin, NC

About: From Wild Things to Wagging Tails I've seen it all! Trust me to provide expert care for your furry friend with a lifetime of animal experience, big and small. My services include walking, watching, grooming, and a whole lotta love. Your pup will thank you! Balancing a love for animals I'm eager to put my mornings and afternoons to good use by caring for and connecting with animals of all kinds. I work at a vet clinic so I'm on the lookout for opportunities to pet-sit or simply spend time with animals in need of care and attention. I put all animals health first so when I'm caring for pets, whether it's at my place or someone else's, I make sure to tailor my approach to the specific service I'm providing. If I'm pet-sitting, I stick to the pet's usual routine, including feeding times, walks, and playtime. I always make sure they have fresh water and a clean, comfy space to relax. If I'm just popping in for a quick visit, I focus on the essentials: food, water, and a bit of attention to keep them happy. For walks, I always keep them on a leash and pay close attention to their behavior to ensure they're safe and comfortable. I always make sure they are comfortable in their environment. And of course, lots of love and cuddles are always on the menu!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was in middle school. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and stay overnight with their pets. I have worked with many different breeds and have experience with puppies as well. I will work with whatever is most comfortable for you and your pet! I am willing to go on walks and play fetch with your dog while you are away. I am currently working a full-time job on the weekdays, but can come check-in on your fur babies during my lunch and during the evenings once I am off. I also am available on the weekends! Since we live in the city, my two fur babies are mostly inside, until we go for walks. When we go for walks, I make sure that all harnesses and leashes are latched and secured properly. I can easily crate your dog upon request.

About: My love of pet care began at age 14 when I got my 1st job working with a vet. I bicycled each morning at 6 am before school to clean cages. My love and determination has not waned over the years and I have continued, off and on, to work with vets and offer in home pet care to a diverse group of clients from birds to wolfhounds for the last 30+ years.. I am looking forward to meeting your fur family and discussing how I might provide the best care for your loved ones in your absence. As a fellow user of this service, I understand the desire for an experienced, trust worthy, capable, level headed care giver with a degree of common sense. My aim is to provide the same level of care that I would expect my family to receive as well. Your sense of confidence in my abilities to care for your family is my #1 priority. I bi-locate between Greensboro and Danville and am available in both locations and between. I look forward to speaking with you! At the moment, in home pet care is my first priority and upon approval, I can be available 7 days per week as well as on an extended basis, upon review and acceptance by both parties for in your home pet care and walking duties as well as drop-in visits. I have found most pets prefer to be in their own homes and around familiar sights and sounds to ease their transition from their primary caregiver to me. For this reason, I highly recommend in home pet care. I am willing to discuss pet care in my home on a case by case basis.

“Wonderful to our fur babies! Please don’t think twice about using Savannah to assist with your animal care needs. She puts her heart into caring for them and always goes the extra mile. Will hire again!”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, mostly small animals. I love them all and currently own pets now and especially love adopting them. I can provide consistent care for your pet. I’m a stay at home mom and my kids are in school so I have a lot of time on my hands during the day but I wouldn’t object to some evenings if needed. I will feed, water, and walk your dog and clean up after them. If they need any special care I can accommodate them as needed.

About: Hi there! My name is Emma and caring for animals has been a part of my life since a little girl!

Whether it's dogs, cats, or just about anything that breathes — I love them all! I currently have two amazing dogs of my own — an Australian Shepherd and a Labrador — along with two beautiful kitties, so I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your furry family members. I'm honest, reliable, and always committed to ensuring your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for in your absence.

With me, you’ll never have to stress or worry; your pets will be in kind and capable hands. As a full-time nursing student, my schedule can get pretty packed, but I’m still always happy to lend a helping hand when it comes to caring for your pets. This semester, my classes are all online, with a few clinical rotations at the local school system, so I do have some flexibility. While my schedule can fill up quickly, I’m more than happy to work with you to find a time that fits — just reach out, and we can arrange something that works around my commitments! Your pets’ well-being is important to me, and I’m here to make sure they’re cared for while you're away. Feel free to message me anytime, and we’ll get something on the calendar!

I treat every pet I look after like my own, ensuring they’re safe, secure, and loved while you’re away. The safety of my own pets is incredibly important to me, and I bring that same level of vigilance and care when watching over yours. You can rest easy knowing that your pets are in responsible, caring hands, and I’ll always go the extra mile to make sure they’re well taken care of.

“Katie was amazing with our dogs. She showed up right on time - as scheduled - and we received daily updates/pics. We came home to happy & relaxed pups. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”

I currently have a 4 year old Aussie border collie mix who has reactivity issues and is very timid so i have taken training classes on how to work with a dog in situations like that. i also grew up in a house with multiple different sizes and breeds of dogs. I work part time at a restaurant in town and have a dog of my own but i do understand what it’s like to need some time away and make sure your pup is in trusted hands. I live on alittle over an acre with a cattle dog who is very high energy. we go on 3 4 mile walks a week and he is able to come and go from the house whenever he pleases. He is crate trained and he is on a strict feeding schedule. I get him groomed once a month and regular vet visits for up to date shots.

For the Kitties I can play with them, if they are in the mood, or be their temporary bed for those lap cats that love to be pet and pampered. I own a gray and white tuxedo cat named Sammy.

“Shakira is great! She was able to work with my dog (who is huge!) and on such short notice. She posted pictures and left a detailed review! She made me feel so good knowing my dog was in good hands :)”

About: I’ve had many pets of my own so I know how it is trying to find someone to trust to look after them. I’ve also taken care of many of my family members pets. I have the most experience with cats and small animals since I’ve had my fair share of those types of pets. I’m currently going to school to become a veterinarian. I love working with animals and it is my dream to one day work full time with them. I’m currently working part-time so I’m available weekdays after 2pm and occasionally on weekends. I’m very flexible with my schedule so I can be available anytime you need! I have a walking trail right by my house that I love to run on. I would love to take a dog for a run with me. I also have a front yard where they can potty and I have a screened-in back porch to just enjoy the breeze. I do have caged animals, but that shouldn’t be an issue because they will be in separate rooms.

About: I’ve been dog sitting on and off for about 4 years. It brings me joy to playing with them and seeing their tags wag with excitement! I am currently working full time at a walgreens in my town as while taking online classes to get my certification in vet assistant. I plan on working part time instead to do more of what i love which is taking care of animals. I would ask my client if there is a routine or any special accommodations that I need to go by or do for their fur baby.

About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs my entire life. I had senior dogs I have had to take care of that was my own, puppies, and I have cared for family friends dogs and cats on multiple occasions:) I will be going to school in the fall, so my schedule will be different then. I work a full time job but it differs and is 4 days a week, so my schedule varies each week. I care for your pets to the best of my ability the way that you do! I will follow a list that you have, if your pet is on a specific feeding and potty schedule. How you care for your pet at home is how I will care for them also :)

About: If you book with me I can assure you a safe, fun, and nurturing environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and expert attention for your loving animals. Peace of mind for you— paradise and tail wags for them! 💞🐾 I have extensive experience with cats and dogs. I’m 25 and I grew up with so many cats, dogs, reptiles, I have even helped rescue deer, owls, pigs, and goats before too! I specialize in dog training, I have been doing it for 7 years now and have loved every minute of it- it is my true passion!! ❤️ That is another great reason to book with me, since I am well equipped to handle the many behaviors dogs may experience during their stay, and doing it in a safe manner as well. I have trained and rehabilitated many dogs that had severe anxiety and aggression too, some of them eventually became service dogs because of how well they transformed into a better version of themselves! I’m experienced with many different breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs so I am well versed in knowing personalities and behaviors and how to handle them in any way. ❤️😁 If you book with me your dog will experience fun activities such as enrichment toys, puzzle games, walks on trails, public outings such as to stores, parks, certain restaurants. They will also get to join pack walks, play time with other dogs, and one on one time with me! And if your dog is a couch potato 🥔 they can cozy up on the dog couch and enjoy their vacation in peace! 🏝️🐕💛 If you book with me your dog will experience a safe, fun, peaceful environment to where they will be excited to come back again! 🐾🎾 it is the opposite of when they go to the vet and have their tail tucked all nervously- your dog will have their tail wagging in the wind and jumping of joy as soon as you pull into my driveway because they know this is the place for fun and relaxation!! 🥳🥰🙌 All activities are very structured here. All dogs are supervised at all times when they are not crated, and when they are crated they are supervised by a camera I have connected to an app in my phone! Things are very structured in a sense of safety, behavior, and peace within all of the dogs during their stay. That’s where being a dog trainer comes in handy and the dogs can have fun while being in a calm state of mind! 😉🧘‍♀️💗🐾 I have three large dog yards- two are fenced in with 6ft privacy fence, and one yard is 6ft chain link fence. They can go potty, play, sun bathe, play in the dog pool, or just enjoy the fresh air. This is also nice if your dog isn’t aloud around other dogs- they will have their own large area to do their business and enjoy their time outdoors in a safe private area too!! 😌❤️ Cats love it here too! 🐈🐈‍⬛ your furry baby will get to enjoy toys, lick mats, cat castles and scratching boards. Even some cat nip if they’d like 🤪😸, and plenty of cuddles to “make biscuits”. 🥰🐾 If your dog can’t be around other dogs or cats, that is no problem here. I have plenty of room to give dogs and cats their own private space to still keep them at peace and accommodate to their needs during their stay! I like to match personalities within dogs so they can make great friends while they are on their vacation too!! It is also no problem if your dog/cat is on any medications as well- they will be issued them as directed during their stay and I am well experienced with that as well, so don’t worry about that! ❤️‍🩹🩺🐾 I always send plenty of updates by text with photos and videos during their stay so you don’t feel left out as I know it’s hard to leave our fur babies while we’re away! 📲📸🥰 If you book with me I can assure you your fur babies will have a blast and want to come back for more, there is plenty of love to go around here and I hope to meet your furry companions soon! 💞🐕🐕‍🦺🦮🐩🐈‍⬛🐈💞 I currently am a dog trainer, though I am still flexible and available to schedule at your convenience! Sometimes my mornings can be quite busy, but I will always do everything I can to exhaust all measures in making sure scheduling you isn’t a problem! I have 4 dogs- 2 German shepherds and 2 shepherd mix breeds. 3 are female 1 is male. I have 1 male indoor cat and 5 outdoor cats. I can assure your fur baby won’t feel lonely with the company of my own companions!! 💞 -I have multiple different rooms your fur baby can stay in if they need their own private space. -3 large fenced in yards. -structured play time with other dogs and solo play time. -pack walks and solo walks -public outings/hikes -crated when unsupervised to ensure safety of all dogs -enrichment toy/puzzle time each day to mentally stimulate and help soothe your dog -endless cuddles and love to go around 💗🥰🐾

About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds my entire life. I have worked at multiple vet/boarding offices over the years and so am experienced in caring for your pet to the highest standards! I have experience in both large and small breeds, have handled medications of all kinds, and ages of all kinds! I currently do not have a dog due to life circumstances, and so the opportunity to take care of/include your pets in my life is such a blessing to me. I hope to speak with you soon! I'm currently working full time but work from home! Yes, that's right! My job is very free flow, I spend most of my day typing, editing documents and communicating via email.. so there is always time for other engagement. I am able to spend time with my children and pets during my work day and am never restricted to certain hours of operation! This is good for pet sitting especially because my full attention can always be on your baby while they are missing their paw parents! I currently am in a home with lots of space. There is space in the home specificallyreserved for boarders, I do not have a fenced in yard but do LOTS of walks, inside play and outside time while your babies are with me... I enjoy open play just as much as leash walking and follow the paw parents preference for any active engagement based on the fur baby's home life. If I am visiting your home, it will be the same. I will follow all wishes and schedules, and make sure even in that short visit that your pets needs are fulfilled and that they are happy and content before my leaving. If I am staying in your home, the same thing applies. All around the goal for me is the families comfort and the fur baby's happiness. Again, this is not a job for me, but an experienced im happy to be apart of!

“Did a great job with my nervous pup! Would happily book her again.”

“Michelle was great! She was professional, kind, understanding, and flexible. And my dog loved her!!”

About: I have been fortunate to know what it’s like to have someone care for your pets that truly love them and that feeling is the best! To know that someone really cares and wants to spend time with your animals settles a lot of anxiety and worry. That’s what I want to provide for people =) I currently work an alternating schedule which leaves days of opportunity to takecare of your fur babies! We can definitely schedule out the days you’d need! I have a fenced in yard and a crate available if you’d like for your dog and mine to be separated. If not, our doggies can be the best of friends!
