Dog Walking Sandy Creek

About: I treat every pet as if they’re my own—with love, patience, and genuine care. What truly sets me apart is my reliability and responsibility. You can count on me to show up on time, follow your instructions carefully, and keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable. I’m incredibly loving and attentive, always making sure your pets feel secure while you’re away. I also believe communication is key—I’ll keep you updated with detailed messages, photos, and check-ins so you never have to wonder how things are going. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or somewhere in between, I meet them with calm, compassionate care tailored to their needs. My husband and I are both retired and just moved back to Leland, NC. We both have completely open availability to accommodate any needs or schedule. I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard and two friendly dogs to keep your pup company. My schnauzer especially loves to play and is always excited to make a new friend! My husband is also at home—he’s a true animal lover (and a bit of a dog whisperer). Our pups are our kids, and we treat all animals like family. They’re welcome on the furniture, in the bed, and anywhere else that makes them feel safe, loved, and comfortable.

About: Hi! I'm Kaitlyn, and I've spent the past 10 years caring for pets of all ages-from playful puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats who need a little extra patience and gentle attention. I have two dogs myself a 3-year-old Aussiedoodle named Maxine and a 1-year-old Goldendoodle named Meeko so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. What sets me apart is my reliability, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals-I treat every pet as if they were my own. I'm comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, medication reminders, and, of course, giving plenty of affection. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. I'd love to schedule a meet and greet to see if I'm the right fit for your furry friend! - Kaitlyn Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m home part-time four days a week, giving me plenty of flexibility to provide consistent, dependable care. I love giving pets the attention and companionship they need throughout the day, whether that means going for walks, playing, keeping up with their feeding routine, or simply spending quality time together. My goal is always to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. In a client’s home, I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or cuddle time—so they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while keeping their space clean and secure. When caring for pets in my own home, I provide a welcoming, safe environment where they’ll enjoy lots of love, playtime, and supervision. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel at home and well cared for. I have two friendly dogs who love to play and make new friends!

“Thank you!”

About: I’m an animal loving former teacher and I'd love to put my time to good use doing what I love. I love walking and running and would love to take your dog along! I’m a huge cat fan as well! I have many years of experience taking care of the pets of friends, family and neighbors. References available upon request. I’m extremely responsible, neat and energetic. I have had a dog with diabetes so I'm experienced and comfortable in administering insulin and other medications. I am extremely trustworthy as any background check can prove. I have a much loved dog and cats myself so I know how much your pets mean to you. It would be a load off of your mind to have me taking care of them for you. Please contact me so I can meet you and your cherished pet as soon as possible. I would love to answer any of your questions.. I'm currently retired so I have plenty of time to devote to your fur baby! I am able to do as many drops ins as necessary to keep your pet company while you're gone. I have a fenced yard and three friendly cats. I have two extra bedrooms to crate your dog if needed or to separate any kitty that doesn't play well with others.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. In my neighborhood growing up I was the go to dog sitter!! I am also a proud dog mom myself I am a college student I have one class a day, so I am REALLY flexible with what times I can come walk or check in on your dog. I normally have chill weekends too. But no matter what I will always make time for a pup!! I live in a dog friendly apartment ground unit, we have 2 dog parks on site and I have a weiner dog at home too.

About: *Please Read* Hello! My name is Kaylah. I have been pet sitting for over 15 years and love all types of animals. I have experience with large dogs and small dogs, as well as cats and small animals like hamsters. When your pet stays at our house they are allowed in bed and on our furniture. The only thing I ask is that your pet is kid, dog, and cat friendly :) If you would like to bring your animal to my house I would be more than happy to watch them here, but if you would rather me come to your house that is fine too! I do offer drop in visits at your house but am unable to stay there while you are away. When your pet is at our house they will be loved and spoiled like one of our own pets :) *Updated 11/01/2024- I am a stay at home mom of 5 kids and a full time pet sitter. I will send pictures of your pet while you are away but I do only send pictures every other day unless it is a one night stay or Doggy daycare. (you'll get pictures that day!) If you are interested in having pictures sent to you every day or are interested in any additional services, I do charge an extra fee which can be discussed and added on when booking. :) Also, I do usually send my pictures and updates in the evening. Thank you! I am a stay at home mom and pet sitter full time. I very rarely leave the house and if I do it is not for long. We have a huge fenced in back yard that your dog can run around and play in. When they are outside one of us is always out there with them. :)

About: I like to consider myself a very go-with-the-flow person sitter. I’ve done drops ins and stayed overnight. Recently moved to the area and looking to grow my clientele here! We can always negotiate pricing based on the needs of your dog(s)! I work a Monday through Friday from nine to five on a typical week! Based on your location I can drop by during the day on my lunch break. I treat all dogs with love and affection. I do follow all owners’ wishes when it comes to caring for their pooch. I believe all dogs are good!

“Katrina did a wonderful job! She sent pictures time-stamped with the length of her dog walk, which was very comforting!”

About: I have four cats and a german shepherd. I grew up having dogs and cats my whole life. I have raised kittens and bottle fed them and have experience with small dogs and very large dogs. I currently work full time monday- friday. I am available early mornings, I have an hour lunch break, and I am available after 3pm most days! I am free all day on the weekends. I can easily travel to care for your pets and do whatever is necessary to provide proper care! I cannot bring your pets to my home however I can transport them!

“Shiloh was timely and communicative!”

About: I have a cat and a dog so I have experience with both. I will take care of and love your pet as if they are my own. I’m a stay at home wife, so I have plenty of time to care for, walk your pets, or do anything you need. I have a very flexible schedule. In my clients homes, I am respectful of the home environment and I will follow specific instructions. I will be clean and tidy and also give your pets lots of love.

About: I have been around pets my whole life! I have taken care of each and every pet I’ve had. I have always had either a dog or cat in my house. And each of my family members have had pets that I have been around as well. I also use to volunteer at a wildlife rehabilitation center, where I cared for injured animals. I have my own mini farm, where I have pigs, goats, chickens, ducks and turkeys! So if you need any of those types of animals cared for I can do that too! I have a very flexible schedule so I basically have the whole day to come take care of any pets! I have plenty of time to come and hang out with your furry family! I have four loving dogs that get outside all day long because I have so much time during the day and a very large fenced in backyard. We go on walks all the time! We can have a pet play date if your pet likes other dogs. If you need your pet needs to crated, I can do that. If they need soothing music put on, I can do that too!

About: Where do I begin... Dogs hold a place close to my heart! I have owned dogs for OVER 10 years and I have never met one that hasn't made a good impression on me for life. My experience ranges from elderly care to puppies/teenage years, female and male dogs! No two animals are alike, therefore care looks different for everyone and I believe each pet deserves to experience quality care away from their owner. Fun fact: my mom still calls me the dog whisperer like the show haha On my weekends I do have availability for Fridays (5:30-8pm) And Saturday -Sunday (10am-8pm) **Weekdays after 5:30pm can be discussed if needed by the owner(s)** My pets were crate trained, so I'm familiar with that aspect! With my past experience in pet sitting, I also am familiar with following a schedule for your fur (or hairless) baby.

About: I believe pet sitting should be more than simply feeding a pet and taking them outside. I want every pet to have a safe, happy and personalized day that fits their own routine, personality and needs. I offer personalized care plans with walks, playtime, enrichment, meals, quiet rest, cuddles and plenty of attention. I can also provide photo and video updates throughout the day so you can see how your pet is doing while you are away. For dogs, I can create a “Doggy Day” routine including morning pickup when available, a park walk, play and exercise, mealtime, quiet time and another walk before bringing them home. I also offer overnight stays, boarding, house sitting, drop in visits and individual walks. For cats and small pets, I can follow their normal routine in their own home, including feeding, fresh water, litter/cage care, playtime and attention. Every pet is different, so before a booking I want to learn what makes your pet comfortable, what they love, what they dislike and exactly how you want me to care for them. I have a flexible schedule and can arrange pet care around your needs. I offer weekday and weekend care, including walks, drop-in visits, daytime care, overnight stays and boarding when available. I especially enjoy creating personalized daytime routines for pets whose parents are working or traveling. Depending on the service and my availability, I can provide morning pickup, daytime care, walks, playtime, meals, rest time, photo updates and evening drop-off. Before each booking, I like to learn your pet’s normal schedule and follow their routine as closely as possible. My goal is to make the experience comfortable and stress-free for both you and your pet. You don’t have to worry about simply leaving your pet somewhere — I’ll create a little plan for their day. 🐾When available, I can pick up your pet in the morning and bring them home in the evening, so you don’t have to rearrange your workday.🐾 I take safety and trust very seriously. Before each booking, I like to learn about your pet’s personality, routine, habits, triggers and any special instructions. I provide a calm, clean and comfortable environment and never leave a pet unattended when close supervision is needed. I carefully follow the owner’s feeding, walking and care instructions. For stays in my home, I only accept pets that are a good fit for my environment and schedule. For house sitting, I respect the client’s home and keep the pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel comfortable knowing how your pet is doing.

About: I can’t remember an age where I wasn’t helping birth and raise kittens and puppies, turtles, or rodents. From having blind, toothless senior chihuahuas and senile cats…to a litter of brand new pups or kittens struggling to catch their first breath I’ve been part of it. I’ve had several rodents and reptiles, and cared for my friends and family birds as well. Trained puppies and kittens to use the potty and more. Also helped with a few farm animals too. I work only 20-25hrs a week, so I’ll always be home within 6hours or less. Outside of work, I’m home hanging out with my kids and furbabies. I have two e.s.a. Certified cats who tend to hide away when someone new is here. I’ve had them both since babies (13y & 3y). Keep things clean, organized, healthy, I had a cleaning company too. I don’t have crates on hand or an outside fence but I have a huge yard, the neighbor has a spayed female American bulldog, very friendly. There are farm animals next door. However, I do appreciate being where the pet is comfortable and knows its space.

About: I have had cats and dogs since I was 3 and I am currently going to school for my Bachelors in Animal Science, therefore I would love to express my love for animals with caring for yours! I am a full time student at NC State but I am graduating in the fall so my schedule is really open right now where I can add pet visits either between classes or after classes. I will ensure that all instructions given to me will be followed completely and if I have an issue regarding the care of the pet(s) I will reach out to the owner immediately.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs for most of my life. I’ve grown up around dogs of various breeds such as GSD, collies, and golden retrievers. My childhood dog lived long enough he began developing hip issues so I am well versed in caring for dogs who have special health needs. I’ve been dog sitting for awhile now and am comfortable with staying overnight if that is something you’re interested in! I’ve also dog sat for a dog whose back legs were paralyzed and am happy to assist your pup if they struggle with issues like that! Additionally I work at a doggy daycare (with boarding services) so I am around almost every breed you could think of and am well versed in medication dispersion as well as basic care. With all that being said, I am absolutely obsessed with big dogs (even Great Danes and St Bernards:)) but I am happy to work with dogs of any size! Also I am not scared of trying to work with a dog for them to be comfortable around me if they’re skittish at first. I am in grad school full time and work 25 hours a week at my internship, but I have breaks during the day to let out the animals as needed! I am almost always fully available on weekends, I usually am working on homework, playing pickleball, or reading for fun. I have two dogs and three cats at home so caring for your pets in your home would be a necessity. I am comfortable staying overnight or visiting late at night/early in the morning depending on your wishes. I love keeping the parents updated and can promise multiple pictures per day if you’re gone for a while! I prioritize sticking as close to your usual schedule as possible for your pets so they can keep a sense of normalcy while you’re away.

About: Hello! I have been dog sitting on Rover for several years now and I absolutely love it. Some facts about me are that I’m active in my church, love exploring, being in nature, and drinking coffee with friends! I grew up owning dogs and I love them! I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, and staying overnight and taking them on walks. I am a timely person who will be careful to remember your specific needs and instructions in taking care of your dog. I have experience in staying alert around other dogs and either making sure they will get along before approaching or crossing the street. I’m happy to take your dog for walks and potty breaks throughout the day, and most of all give your dog lots of love, cuddles and good company! I look forward to meeting you and getting to know you and your dog(s)! My work schedule is flexible and I’m not usually gone for longer than 3 to 4 hours. If you have any questions or requests, don’t hesitate to ask! I will care for your pets by giving them lots of pets and taking them on walks. I will be attentive to your pets needs and do everything in a timely manner because I care about caring for your pet! I will also send pictures and updates 2x a day.

About: I have taken care of animals for the majority of my life whether that be nursing stray kittens back to health, assembling special meals for my dogs specific health requirements, or pet and house sitting for friends and family members so they could take a well needed vacation. I have always held a deep love for animals and a career where I can be around them all day sounds more like a dream than a job. While not a certified dog trainer I do have experience with training puppies for small tricks such as sit, place, stay, down, etc. and would be happy to teach your fur baby as I take care of them. As a full time student I have a very open schedule with asynchronous classes that allow me to be there when your fur baby requires. I make sure to keep my pets on a regular schedule with grooming, food, vet visits and play sessions so they may have the best experiences as they grow and develope.

About: I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each dog’s routine and personality. I understand how important consistency, patience, and clear communication are when caring for someone else’s pet. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your dog company, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and temperaments; from active dogs who love long walks and playtime to calmer dogs who prefer a relaxed, steady routine. I pay close attention to details like feeding schedules, leash manners, and any special instructions you provide. I treat every dog as if they’re my own and keep owners updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Availability and how much time I’ll be able to spend with pets: I work full-time remote so I can accommodate to any time and location necessary. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, walk times, and care instructions exactly as provided to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free.
