Dog Walking in Salisbury

About: I do work a full time job August-May as a cafeteria manager at a school, so please check my calendar for availability. :) I have hands-on experience with puppies, seniors, and reactive dogs. I approach every animal with patience, calm energy, and genuine love. I have two rescues: Athena, an 8-year-old beagle, and Ford, an 8-year-old black lab/German shepherd mix. My daily routine already revolves around playtime, and snuggles so adding more furry friends to the mix is second nature to me. I always aim to keep pets in a stress free and familiar environment, whether that’s in your home or out on a walk. I follow your care instructions and give regular updates so you feel connected while you’re away. I do not offer boarding at this time due to my own dog’s needs, but I’m committed to safe, thoughtful care in your home!

About: I've been around pets my whole life and love caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities! Whether it's a high-energy dog who needs long walks or a sweet senior who just wants gentle care, I'm here for it. I'm trusted by friends and neighbors to feed, walk, and give meds when needed—and, of course, provide plenty of love and attention. Every pet I care for is treated like family! I’m flexible with my schedule and can always work something out to fit your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early mornings or late evenings, I’m happy to adjust and ensure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve. I will always respect my clients' homes and ensure the pet and owner feel comfortable and happy. I prioritize safety and ensure that pets feel at ease by following their routines as closely as possible and offering plenty of love and attention. I'm always available to discuss specific needs or concerns to ensure a positive experience for everyone!

About: I’ve taken dog training courses over the years. I did dog rescue; I had sick dogs, litters of puppies and dogs of all sizes in my home while raising my children and my dogs. I've done house sitting, walking, training for dogs and cats for years when I lived in California. I'm excited to meet you and your pets. I am comfortable with but not limited too walking, training, medication administration and always the addition of cuddles and love. I work for myself and work my own hours so I can always work around your schedule. I love the outdoors, nature and getting my steps in. When your pet is in my house, they'll be treated as a family member. If you prefer to crate your pet I can do that or create my dog. Pet safety is top priority at all times.

“Fantastic as always! Carole takes great care of Lucy & goes the extra step to send cute pictures & thoughtful updates. She’s our regular sitter for good reason.”

About: I’ve had a Basset hound and a Weimaraner over 15 years. I’ve owned 4 extremely well behaved, adjusted, and playful cats for over 20 years. I have open availability to take care of your fur baby while you’re away. Im active and have love playing fetch with dogs, and going on walks. I love cats - they’re so curiously entertaining! I can bathe your dogs, play an excellent round of fetch, give them lots of love an attention while I’m visiting. Cats: play toys, scratchpads, shoestrings, balls w bells, and brushing, when they prefer. I’ve got lots of dog toys- balls, chew bones, frisbees squeaky toys. I gave away my dog harnesses, but still have my retractable leash. If they like going out on the town, I love going to pet smart to just look around and pick out a toy. They have pup cups at Pelicans- if their sugar is under control, and then go to dog park, or just playing and keeping him company in the home. I’m very good at attending to both dogs & cats. I do not spank ( with my hand or an object, like a newspaper) or hit animals, nor use a water sprayer to punish animals if they’ve done something wrong. I use redirection and a stern tone and shake my finger at them. They usually respond well to that. Then when I see them doing the right thing I reward them with enthusiastic positive talk. For bigger issues, I always have treats in my pocket, using instant gratification to regain their attention.

“Great animal person! He’s very reliable!”

“Emily was such a great help! We needed someone to walk our dog while we were away for a wedding and our pup Lou was happy and healthy when we returned. This was our first time working with Emily, but she coordinated a meet and greet earlier in the week to meet us and get the details for taking care of Lou. We will definitely use Emily again in the future!”

About: I have been around dogs and cats my entire life. I am confident and comfortable with all ages and temperaments. Growing up, I cared for multiple pets at once (dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, etc.) I also spent time helping out on farms. Therefore, I am no stranger to routine, responsibility or muddy paws! What truly sets me apart is that my mom is a veterinarian, which gives me 24/7 access to expert guidance if an emergency or health question/concern arises. In addition, during my Marine Corps service, I have done dog sitting at the U.S. Embassy in Botswana, where dependability was key. I am currently pursuing my master's degree in cybersecurity. Therefore, I am currently dedicating my time to my studies, which affords me the freedom to care for your pets anytime. Pet safety is my top priority. Whether I am watching your pets in your home or caring for them in mine, I keep all harmful foods and household items out of reach. Additionally, we only use veterinarian-approved treats and toys (with a vet in the family, I don't guess when it comes to safety). Your pets will get plenty of supervised playtime and outdoor activity, along with a calm structured environment to help them feel more at home. I am very respectful in others' homes and will always follow your care instructions to the letter, including feeding, routines, and any special needs or quirks.

About: I grew up always having a pet in the home and have been pet and house sitting independently since I was in high school. I currently have two dogs of my own and have experience taking care of others dogs of all sizes, cats, and even guinea pigs! I’m all about making pets feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s teaching a playful puppy new tricks, keeping up with high-energy zoomies, or giving extra snuggles and TLC to senior pets, I’ve got you covered. I treat every furry friend like they’re my own, and I love tailoring care to their unique personalities and needs. From belly rubs to long walks, I’m here to make sure your pet has the best time ever! I work in intensive in-home therapy so I have a fairly flexible schedule and am always out and about, so dropping by your home to check on your fur babies or take them on a walk will be no problem for me! I work in in-home therapy services so my schedule changes weekly and is fairly flexible. With me being on the road going from home to home for sessions it makes it easy for me to just pop by your home to check on your fur baby or let them on a short walk! I have reliable communication skills and can call, text, and send you pictures to update you as I am watching your pet to ensure they are in the best care! I will always ensure they are safe and secure if walking on leash and keep an eye on them at all times in and out of the home.

About: Hello, I have loved animals since I was a little girl. I have been surrounded by animals all my life and I feel we share a special connection when we are together. For me, dogs and cats are the best companions and friends that we can have. They always deserve the best care and love. I have had the opportunity to be surrounded by these lovely creatures for the majority of my life. At home I had 6 dogs, rabbits, cats, ducks, horses, turtles, and even some hamsters. I loved each and every one of them. I would be happy to take care of your pet and give him as much love as he needs. I would be thrilled to play, take walks, and go to the beach with your special family member. Animals will forever be my number one love.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 14, and with seven years of experience, I understand the importance of providing loving, reliable care. As a graduate with a degree in veterinary health science (pre-vet), I bring both experience and knowledge to pet sitting. My background in veterinary health science means I can provide attentive care for pets of all ages, including puppies and seniors. I have experience administering medications, monitoring for health concerns, and ensuring pets stay happy and comfortable. Whether it’s a playful pup or a senior pet needing extra attention, I provide compassionate and knowledgeable care. I am going back to school in the fall for one to two classes a day. Other than that, I will have the time any dog needs to be fed, walked, or loved throughout the day. In my client’s home, I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their usual routine. I ensure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise, and enrichment through playtime and companionship. If needed, I can administer medications and monitor for any health concerns. I also keep the home clean and secure while caring for the pet, creating a stress-free experience for both the pet and their owner. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care so pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away.

Your dogs will be well exercised and cared for depending on the dog's needs.
