Dog Walkers in Sophia, NC

About: I’ve taken care and had pets since I was very little. We currently have two mini Aussies and a mini golden doodle inside. Expect lots of exercise for those active ones as my children also love animals and spend a lot of their time with our pets. Very flexible schedule as I’m self employed!! Will have certain hours each day I will have to leave for 2 hours. Other then that I’m free!! I offer open exploring of my home as long as their are no destructive behaviors. I also have an xl fenced yard I can also use for additional play time! Keep water available at all times. Food on your current schedule as provided.

“My fur babies love Lanaea and so do I! One of my dogs is older and requires extra care and attention to detail, Lanaea is so patient and gentle with him we know I can trust her to give the best care to both of them.”

“Oliver is seriously the best! My dog absolutely loved him, she would jump all over him and attack him with snuggles every time he came to stay with her. I’ve been friends with Oliver over a decade and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust him with my dog for a second.”

About: I have 20 years experience taking care of dogs and cats of all kind. I have 2 dogs that I have rescued and I tend to always have a temp foster dog around. I worked and volunteered with SPCA, 3 different rescues in Greensboro and have been a foster to many different dog breeds, including puppies. I have experience handling dogs with behavioral issues and medical needs. Currently I can not handle large dogs unless you need me to let them out in a yard at your home. I am currently in school and home full time and would love to take care of your beloved pet. I am available for dog walks, check ins and boarding at my house. I own my own home and have 2 small/medium very friendly dogs, Leopold and Charlie. They are both fixed up to date on shots and flea/tick preventative. If your dog would stay with us they would need to be dog friendly and have proof of rabies and be on flea/tick prevention

“McKenna is a very tentative pet owner. She takes care of her dogs as if they were her children. She makes sure they have plenty of attention and exercises them regularly.”

“Patricia did an excellent job. She was patient and understanding. I would recommend her to anyone.”

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was young. I have taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, ducks, hedgehogs, and even turtles! I have experience with dogs large and small which includes Great Danes down to little Chihuahuas. I have had 5 dogs and 3 cats over the years. I am prepared to love and treat your animals as if they were my own. I am currently a stay at home Mom so my schedule is pretty open. I am available during the day and can make arrangements for the evening. When it comes to overnight house sitting I’d prefer to stay at my own home but can make arrangements if your pet needs someone at all times during the night. I will be readily available early the following day and all day to care, play with, and love your pet. Meet and greets are a great way to come up with the best plan needed. I no longer have any pets at the moment which makes dog walking a great part time job. All of my focus will be put on your dog and their needs. Information of things your dog likes or doesn’t like will help me have a better relationship with them. The more I know about your dog the more comfortable your dog and I will be together.

“Haley is a very kind and responsible young lady. She has always been good with dogs, whether it be her own, grandparent’s, or other family members. She has always been their first choice when they have needed a dog sitter.”

About: I am a certified master dog trainer with knowledge in animal medicine. I have been working with animals for over 20 years. I am able to care for domestic and exotic pets as well as pets with special or medical needs. I am a veteran and the owner of Guardian K9 Solutions and a Certified Master Dog Trainer. I have been working with animals for over 20 years and have found my passion in training dogs. I train pet dog, medical alert Service dogs, police K9s, search and rescue dogs, and a variety of specialty K9s. This includes dogs with aggression. Between working with our client dogs I enjoy walking digs and spending time with our boarding dogs. I have 3 wonderful dogs of my own to keep your fur-baby company if your dog like other dogs. If your dog prefers the company of people he/she will get plenty of one on one play time. We have a variety of toys (sanitized between dogs) for your pup to choose from, a large yard for your dog to run and play in a fun and safe environment. We also have a variety of treats (dietary restrictions considered) and yummy filled kong toy if that is something they enjoy. We keep a fun positive environment for all our furry friends during their stay with us.

“She is a wonderful petsitter. She would stay at our house when we go out of town and would take care of our dogs, cats, and chickens. She is an animal lover & it shows. We love using her, anybody is luck to have her.”

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 live in an apartment complex, and this residence has very nice amenities, my favorite for pet care being the dog park! There is plenty of room to run and play, this is for exercise and wild time! There is also dog accessories throughout the property including several open areas to walk, vegetated areas with trees and bushes, stands with bags for clean up... etc 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 living. 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, bur an experienced im happy to be apart of!

About: I’ve worked at a doggie daycare for 3 years. I am currently the manger and trained in all departments including grooming, dog behavior, medical needs and obedience :) I’m good with both puppies and senior pets, I’m more comfortable with dogs but able to care for cats as well. I am currently changing job locations so am available between 8am to 8pm on week days and full availability on weekends. Am able to work out other times if needed! I focus more on drop in visits or walking pets. To care for each pet I gauge what it best and most comfortable for them. I prefer to have some information on your pet such as feeding instructions, any preferences your pet as with play style/walking/likes, dislikes.

“Amber was incredibly friendly and helpful! She’s a great communicator and I appreciate her flexibility when I am booking her for walks with my dog! She’s super attentive & I would highly recommend her for all your Rover walks!”

He is great with dogs that are aggressive and is very patient with them and very good at calming them down. Plus he truly does just love dogs so your dog will always been treated as if they are his own.”

“Kailey is very reliable and has a great love for taking care of animals. Anytime I need help with my two pups and I want them to be loved, taken care of and spoiled I always ask her if she could help out!”

“When asked to describe a dog in three words I think of loyal, loving, and playful. Funny enough, but this is exactly how I would describe Ashley. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Ashley for almost a decade now and not only is she loyal to her friends and family, but also to animals. She is always looking for ways to help animals in need; whether it’s attending local fundraisers for animal shelters or fostering dogs to help them find a forever home, Ashley is there to help. Just recently, Ashley answered to a Facebook post of a couple looking for someone to foster their dog. While fostering this dog, Ashley came home to find that it ate a hole in her wall. What did she do? She patched the hole with a smile on her face and continued to care for the dog until she found a proper home. Ashley has a down-right passion for dogs. Ashley has rescued three dogs and continues to work hard to provide for them; she even bought her first home so they had a proper yard to play in! Of course, Ashley loves her OWN dogs, but this love extends to all dogs (and animals for that matter). It’s hard to take Ashley out in public—when she sees a dog, she can’t resist talking in a baby voice and running over to pet it. She can spend hours talking to strangers about their dogs and the funny things they do. She is literally the heart-eye emoji when she sees a dog. Ashley is full of energy. This girl works numerous of jobs but comes home exuberant and ready to play with her pets. From long walks, trips to dog parks, and filling up a kiddy pool in her back yard she’s always being active with her dogs. Playing with dogs gives her the greatest joy—the smile on her face says it all! My dog always greets Ashley at the door with a toy in her mouth because she knows Ashley will get down on her hands and knees to play tug-o-war. Loyal. Loving. Playful. These are the best qualities of Ashley that will make her the best dog sitter anyone could ask for. Every customer will have confidence that their fur-baby is being tended to with proper love and attention and leave their dogs’ tail wagging.”
