Dog Walking Selby-on-the-Bay

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover who grew up with 3 dogs, and regularly pet sit for friends and family before deciding to make it official. Friends often call me an animal whisperer because even shy or nervous pets tend to warm up to me quickly. I work remotely, and am very active, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention (and activity)! I work remotely and have very flexible hours, so your pet will have plenty of time, walking, snuggling, and being active. I also attend run clubs where pets are allowed, so if your fur baby is social, I’ll happily take them! I have a backyard, and live in a community with plenty areas to walk and sniff. Pets are welcome to be on furniture and in bed! I’m an excellent communicator, and will work collaboratively with you to determine the best care plan for your pet.

“Have had Jessica walk our dogs and also provide drop in visits while we were on vacation. She does a great job, lots of pics and our dogs love her. Would not hesitate to hire her again! Iggy and Obi love her.”

“Makayla has been great with Cooper! It also makes me feel content knowing that he has company and getting exercise in the middle of the day.”

“Andrew did a great job this weekend! He walked my very large Labradoodle and St Bernadoodle and made sure both dogs and my 3 cats were fed and had water. He followed the care instructions, was extremely communicative and arrived promptly at the booking time. I will absolutely be using Andrew for future bookings, highly recommended!!”

Always looking to make new furry friends I work from home so I am very flexible with my schedule and weekly routine.

About: I have had dogs for my entire life ranging from all ages! During my free time I am typically walking or taking care of my family’s American Bulldog, Axel. I also helped my college roommate raise and train her Pitbull. I am a recently graduated college student searching for work. In the meantime, I am dogsitting & walking while I search for a new career. Therefore, I have a very free & open schedule! I have a fenced yard in my home with a very friendly American Bulldog who would be happy to play with anyone! I am able to crate if needed.

About: Hi! I’m Courtney — a true dog lover, experienced pet caregiver, and someone who treats every pet like family. As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, couch snuggles, or just a calm and reassuring presence, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have extensive experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs, and I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to details. For house sitting, my standard rate includes typical care such as feeding, walks/potty breaks, companionship, overnight care, and lots of love. If your pet requires additional support — including senior care, medication administration, frequent potty breaks (every few hours), mobility assistance, separation anxiety management, or near-constant supervision — please let me know before booking, as these higher-needs situations may require custom pricing to ensure I can provide the level of care your pet deserves. Please be as detailed as possible about your pet’s routine, behaviors, and care needs so I can make sure we’re the right fit. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member!

“Maddie is simply great. Kind and sweet to our elderly dog, Fizz. Taking care of her is a bit of a challenge and Maddie is on it with her meds and IBD issues and special food requirements. Thank you, Maddie.”

About: As a dedicated dog walker and in-home pet sitter with over two years of experience, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. I care for every dog (and cat!) as if they were my own — with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs and routines. What You Can Expect: ✅ Safe, fun, and tailored walks ✅ Home visits that follow your pet’s schedule ✅ Clean water, food, meds (if needed), and lots of affection ✅ Daily photo updates and messages so you never have to wonder how things are going ✅ Respect for your home and your pet’s space I’m trained in basic pet first aid and always check collars, leashes, and gates before heading out. Whether it’s a quiet walk or an energy-burning play session, your pet's safety and happiness are always my top priority. Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet! I’d love to learn more about your pet and how I can help make your time away stress-free for both of you. 🐶🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because of how flexible and rewarding it is. Since I set my own schedule, I can book pet care clients around my part-time job shifts and study blocks, which helps me stay balanced and productive. Walking dogs gives me a much-needed mental reset from screen time and studying, and it keeps me active throughout the day. It’s also a great way to supplement my income without taking on another traditional job. Most of all, spending time with animals brings me a lot of joy and motivation — it breaks up long study days and reminds me why I love what I do Whether you’re at work or away for a few days, I provide reliable, in-home care that keeps your pets safe, happy, and stress-free in their familiar environment. From daily walks to feeding, playtime, and medication routines, I tailor every visit to your pet’s unique needs. 🔐 Safety & Professionalism Equipped for pet first aid always carrying a kit Detailed home-entry and security protocols Leash and harness checks before every walk Weather-conscious and always alert to potential hazards Respectful of your home, your pets, and your time 📸 Peace of Mind After each visit, you’ll receive a photo and short update so you know how your furry friend is doing — because trust is built on communication

About: Lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors. I grew up with two family dogs and now have a 6-year-old “super mutt” named Mija who completely runs the household (and honestly, I’m okay with that). I’m responsible, trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely happiest when I’m around animals. Whether your pet loves long walks, belly rubs, playtime, or just a calm comforting presence, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously — while still making sure your furry family member has a fun, loving experience. I currently work part time in e-commerce and my availability is very flexible. I’m working towards a real estate license and my long-term goal is to retire my mom! I have experience caring for and walking dogs of all breeds and sizes, including large breeds that require confidence, awareness, and strong handling skills. Safety is always my top priority, and I have exceptional risk assessment when it comes to walks, environments, and interactions with other animals. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions and routines. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand how important structure, consistency, and enrichment are for pets. My own dog thrives on her daily routines and knows exactly when it’s time for walks, dinner, and her nightly “search and find” game. I genuinely love building trust with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring pet lover who understands how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I provide drop-in visits and dog walking services for both dogs and cats, and I treat every pet like part of the family. I have years of hands-on caregiving experience and am comfortable with pets of different ages, personalities, and energy levels — from playful puppies and active dogs to shy cats and senior pets who need a gentler approach. During drop-in visits and walks, I focus on giving pets attention, exercise, and consistency with their normal routine. I always provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured their pets are doing well. Cats deserve just as much attention and care while their owners are away. I’m happy to provide: Feeding and water refresh Litter box cleaning Playtime and enrichment Medication assistance if needed Quiet companionship for shy cats Daily updates and photos

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up caring for 3 dogs, 2 cats, birds, lizards, hermit crabs, fish, and rabbits. Taking care of pets has always come naturally to me. Since I was around 10 years old, I’ve helped walk my neighbors’ dogs and puppies, as well as pet sit their dogs and cats while they were away on vacation. I’m very patient, attentive, and love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re part of the family. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be home throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, check-ins, and lots of attention. My 5-month-old daughter and I spend a lot of time at home, so I’m able to provide consistent care, companionship, and updates for pet owners. I enjoy having animals as part of our daily routine and make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. In my home, pets are treated like family and are welcome on the furniture for comfort and companionship. I create a calm, loving environment where animals can feel safe and relaxed while away from their owners. My cats have access to food and water throughout the day, with their setup safely placed out of reach from dogs when needed. I do not crate animals unless specifically requested by the owner, as I prefer pets to feel comfortable and free in the home. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level to make sure they receive individualized care, attention, and plenty of love.

About: As someone who strives to do her very best in every aspect of life, taking care of furry friends is no exception. I assure that under my care, your pet will experience my highest care and attentiveness to their needs. I understand that every owner has their own specific preferences when caring for their pet, so I pay attention and value the importance of adhering to those priorities as well. As a fellow dog owner myself of two large dogs, I am very aware of the various tasks that come with dogcare, as well as their needs. I have a plethora of experience handling most types of dogs, and I assure that under my care, your companion won’t be short of the love and attention it deserves from their caretaker! Im currently a student at UNCW working part time during the summer, however I am very flexible and I have a car to easily come to you! I have open availability on the weekends and most weekdays! I have two dogs myself, so I am aware of the necessary requirements that may come with watching your pet. I also like to clean, so I understand the importance of keeping the house clean whilst caring for your pet! However, of course I pay my utmost attention to your animal!

“Lily was courteous, timely and wonderful to work with. Our Dog was not in a good place when she started working with us , moving anxiety. Lily was patient and flexed as needed to make it work!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of multiple sizes and ages. I grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters, a bunny, you name it. I’m the go to family member for when it comes to pet sitting! I work full time between M-F 8:30am to 5:30pm I can always find time on my lunch break or after work or weekends to help out! I can help out with whatever is needed. It doesn’t matter if they need a leash or can free roam. I will take care of them just like you would!

About: I’ve cared for my own dog for the past 3 years, giving me daily, real‑world experience with feeding routines, walks, training, and managing anxiety. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while their people are away. I work during the day, but I’m available for pet care in the afternoons, evenings, weekends, and on most holidays. I make time to ensure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and companionship while they’re in my care. I’ve owned my own dog for the past three years and have experience living with two dogs and three cats, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I prioritize their safety by following your care instructions, maintaining their feeding and potty schedules, keeping a clean and secure environment, and providing plenty of supervision, affection, and exercise. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: Hi everyone this is an update as of December 10, 2025. I am a retired American Airlines Flight Attendant. I like to travel, do volunteer work, workout, meet my good women friends for coffee, lunch, etc, and spend time with my partner (a retired pilot). We occasionally sit together and he enjoys all my lovable pets as much as I do. I am about as risk free and responsible as they come! Hopefully, I can help out those who need pet/ house sitting. Or if you just need someone to come for a few hours. These services are for dogs under 20 lbs and cats. If you have larger dogs that do not require walking, I can let them in and out (if you have a fenced in backyard) play with them, exercise, feed, water, meds, etc. Otherwise, if they need walking I need to stick to the under 20lbs. I can sit and housesit/ visit cats also, my only request is that there is a room for me to sleep in that the cats do not use. Yes, I am slightly allergic and I do wear my mask when brushing them. I have unfortunately, put my Bichon/ Maltese of 16 years down about 4 years ago. So I do not own a dog or cat at present. She had a collapsed trachea and some heart issues and was starting to have high risk seizures at 16. Hence, I am familiar with elder dogs and giving them medications. Before Maddie I had a female golden who lived to be 15 and 1/2. I have also owned two cats over my lifetime. Thank you for your interest and let me know if I can help you out. Also feel free to ask me any questions you may have. I am retired with a couple of hourly volunteer positions and I travel on occasion. Consequently, I have plenty of time to give your dog(s) or cat(s) special attention! Unfortunately, I cannot have the Fur babies over to my house because of my landlord's restrictions, but more than willing to come by to let your dog out for exercise, walk, feed, water, snuggle, and give medications. I can also spend the night while you're on vacation, Check your mail, water plants, take animals to vet if needed, etc.

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, etc since I was 8. I have a dog of my own and I truly believe they make the soul complete. I am comfortable with all pets and I take great pride in making sure your furry friend is taken care of! I currently work in a flexible office where I am able to leave and walk pups if need be! I will make your pet a priority! I have a old grandma doggie currently. She loves other dogs. We have a huge complex where we are able to take them on long walks and we have a dog park where they can play all day!
