Dog Walking Skippers Corner

About: I have spent 3 years employed in pet boarding/doggy daycare, and have lived my entire life around pets. Growing up, i spent a lot of time at the humane society with a family member who worked there, learning all i could! I have had experience in administering medications, feeding, walking, and cleaning up after all sizes and kinds of animals (mostly dogs and cats). I’m currently a college student, and would love to make some money on the side doing what i love the most—caring for animals! I have pet sit multiple times in the past in between and after classes, and look forward to meeting your pet. After walking or playing, i can easily crate or feed your dog, whatever is needed! I love to spend time playing with dogs, and just spending time cuddling with them or petting them overall! I can easily do whatever is needed to keep your fur baby happy and safe!

About: I have two dogs that I walk and care for each day for 10 years. I have fostered dogs in the past of various ages and breeds from puppies to senior dogs. I am a recent UNCW graduate taking a semester off and a dad who is available during school hours. Happy and excited to play with and walk your dogs! I have two senior dogs that I care for everyday so I understand when a dog has specific needs and requirements. I read and follow instructions for each pet!

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: Hi! I’m Ally, and I’ve always had such a big love for animals! I previously worked at Dogtopia, a dog daycare, where I spent my days caring for dogs of all different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I was responsible for supervising playgroups, making sure everyone was safe, and giving each dog the attention and care they needed. That experience taught me so much about working with different dogs and understanding their behaviors. I also had to take a course to know learn behaviors and when to read their responses, as well as when to know when they are all types of sick or injuries. I genuinely love spending time with animals and will always treat your pets like they’re my own! I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone, and I would love to be someone you can trust to keep them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! I’m currently a college student here in Wilmington and also play soccer! My schedule is pretty flexible outside of classes and practices i have morning practice that ends at 9 and then only one in person class on mondays. So I have time throughout the week and on weekends to care for your pets. I love spending time with animals and would be more than happy to work with you to find times that fit both of our schedules! I’ll always make sure your pets get the time, love, and attention they deserve! Your pet’s safety and happiness will always be my top priority! With my previous experience working at Dogtopia, I’ve learned how important it is to understand each dog’s personality and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll always respect your space and follow any routines or instructions you have for them. Whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I’ll make sure they’re well taken care of! I also love sending pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pets are happy and safe while you’re away!

I have 2 dogs of my own, Luna (labradoodle), who I have trained since she was a puppy, and Lacy (French Bulldog), who I am currently training (she is 5 months old). Although I do not have professional training experience, I will say I put all my patience into providing simple tasks that can better your dogs skills. Whether if it’s during walks, crate time, or a simple sit and stay, I will provide my best efforts for your pup to succeed in these things.

About: Growing up, I have always loved animals and cared for neighbors and family's pets while they were away. In high school, I started reaching out to neighborhood groups and have now sat for animals as small as fish, bunnies, and ferrets, to as big as pitbulls and even the occasional horse! I have a kitty of my own and will always care for your pets as I do for him! I am in school full-time, so drop-ins and walks work the best for me. Mornings, afternoons, and evenings are available to care for your furry friend! I always make the most of those visits - food, hugs, cuddles, walks, and lots of play time! I always like to ensure any animal feels safe with me when I watch them. Slow and friendly, while confident, movements at first is always my go-to. Any pet always gets the most love and attention while I'm with them, and I leave them feeling cared for and comfortable while their parents are away.
