Dog Walking South

“I highly recommend Carlita for any of your dogs needs. She is not only the best dog mom to her Snow, but she will treat your dog as her own. My Zoe is small and aging and it’s not easy for me to find someone I trust with her care. With Carlita, I’m glad to have found someone I can leave Zoe with overnight or to come visit her when I’m away. She adheres to all of my Zoe’s special needs (pj’s at night are a must, her food must be warmed, and she has some medications) and ensures her comfort and safety. She plays with her, sends me photos, and makes me aware of any concerns she notices with Zoe in my absence. She is punctual and communicates clearly and timely. Your fur baby is in good hands with her.”

“Lauren was absolutely amazing, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog. I booked her for a 30-minute walk every day around noon, and I told her I was very flexible with timing. She was always reliable and showed up when scheduled, but what really stood out to me was how much she genuinely cared about my puppy. Even though the walks were booked for 30 minutes, she constantly went above and beyond. Whether it was an extra minute, five minutes, or even ten, she never seemed rushed and truly spent quality time with my dog. After every walk, I didn’t just get one quick picture. I would get several adorable photos along with detailed updates about everything they did. She would let me know about their walk, any interactions they had, and even small thoughtful things like cleaning out his water bowl. You can tell Lauren is not just doing this as a job. She genuinely loves dogs and enjoys spending time with them. That kind of care, attention, and thoughtfulness is rare, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing my puppy was in such good hands. I’m so grateful for her and will absolutely book with her again!”

About: What makes me stand out as a pet sitter is my ability to connect with animals of all personalities and needs. Whether it's a playful kitten, a shy senior cat, or a mischievous puppy, I tailor my approach to ensure comfort and happiness! I am currently a student at North Carolina State University but have plenty of time throughout my day/week to tend to animals and take care of them whether planned far in advance or with short notice I will do my best to make time for clients and of course their pet(s)! When caring for pets, whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm and comfortable environment for your furry friend. Here’s how I ensure their well-being: Routine & Comfort: I respect your home and your pet’s established routine. From feeding schedules to playtime and exercise, I make sure your pet’s day runs smoothly and comfortably. Safety First: I always keep doors and gates securely closed to prevent escapes or accidents. I also ensure that the environment is free from any hazards or potential dangers. Communication & Updates: I keep you informed with regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you're away, knowing your pet is safe and well-cared-for. Trust & Reliability: I build trust by being punctual, reliable, and transparent. I always follow specific instructions from pet owners, whether it's about feeding preferences, medical needs, or behavioral quirks.

About: Hello! My name is Bri. I am home all day while attending school online, which allows me to provide your pup with plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I have been caring for my own two dogs for the past two years and have experience with daily routines, exercise, playtime, and understanding different dog personalities. I truly love animals and am dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and loving care for every pet I look after. I understand that pets are family, and I will treat your pup with the same love and attention I give my own. I’ll be attending school part-time at night, so I have plenty of availability during the day for pet care, walks, and visits. I’m excited to spend my days caring for pets and making sure they receive the attention, exercise, and love they deserve! I do live in an apartment. However it does have a dog park. I have 2 dogs myself who love to play and can keep your dog company!

“Sarah was a wonderful sitter to take our girl, Millie, off of our hands for a few hours so we could celebrate our baby shower! I would not hesitate to have her watch Millie again! Thank you Sarah ?”

About: I’ve practically had pets my whole life and have been caring for dogs since I was 11 years old. Animals have always held a special place in my heart—I genuinely love being around them and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience not just with my own pets, but also through my time working at the PetSmart PetsHotel, where I cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or just making them feel at home, I truly enjoy every part of taking care of animals. I’m a teacher, so my summers are open. I’m usually free after 3 during the rest of the year. Weekends are usually open. My availability will be posted. My top priority is always building trust with your fur baby. Only then am I able to care for them to the fullest. I have an extra bedroom for pets that prefer their own space. I have a large back yard and also am located about 3 miles from a dog park that I frequent.

About: Ive owned 3 dogs of my own, i enjoy walking and playing outdoors so adding a dog makes things 10x better! I have experience overnight sitting and just popping in on my lunch breaks for my neighbors and pastors dogs I work 10-4 monday-thrusday but im open all weekend, before and after work as well. I work 5 minutes down the road from my home so I don't have a long commute leaving more time to see pets! im there to focus on the pets, i ensure to leave a list and updates of everything done and i dont want to invade on your space! i like being told where toys, food, leashes etc can all be found to ensure i create a fun environment for your pet!,

“This was the 3rd (or 4th?) Time we've booked with Nicole. She's always easy to work with, timely, and send lots of pictures. She's always our first choice!”

About: I worked at a vet hospital and had the opportunity to be around, care for, and play with lots of different dogs and cats. I would administer medicine, clean areas for animals so they are safe, make them the most comfy, walk the dogs, clean litter boxes, even throw in a few treats when possible. I am currently a full time college student. I’m working on my bachelors in animal science. I’m able to have a wide variety of availability. I will make sure bowls are clean, food properly measured or full, water refreshed with every visit, tummies are full, and hearts are the happiest they can be. Every animal is always treated as if it were my own. Each animal deserves only the best of care.

“Olivia was great! My boys seemed to love her! She was a life saver when I had to be out of town for my Memas funeral! Highly recommend”

About: I was a dog mom to a precious pitbull for 10 years and since he passed I'm looking to spread that love to other babies in the area. I work full time but my evenings are mostly free. Ideal for working pet parents who need their babies taken care of in the evening and weekends. I respect everyone's wishes and desires for their pet family members. Love, care, and respect are the most important. My motto is to leave a person, being, or space better than I found it.

About: Dog and cat lover with a lifetime of experience! EXERCISE: Nearby nature trail and park and a fenced yard at home. I always supervise playtime to make sure everyone is getting along. ATTENTION: I am 100% focused on giving love! I have lots of experience with seniors and special needs dogs and can give medication. I can even bottle-feed small puppies and kittens! ESCAPE-ARTISTS: Rest assured, I have an escape-artist myself so I am extremely careful! Your dog would never be allowed in the fenced yard without supervision. PUT YOUR WORRIES TO REST! I have had dogs my entire life - big and small, old and young, lazy and crazy - I can handle anything! I’ll send pictures the entire stay so you’ll know your baby is in good hands! I currently bartend 3 nights a week and I have a hybrid day job where I am in the office 1 to 2 days a week. I have a fenced yard and a playful dog to keep your dog company. I can crate your dog if needed while away or leave him or her out if they are potty-trained and not destructive.

“Ashleigh took my Allie on a pretty good walk which is a great job considering she often doesn’t care too much for walks! She fed her as asked and Allie seemed content when I got home. I will certainly be asking Ashleigh for assistance ce in the future!”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior pets—and started helping care for family pets around age 10. For the past 5 years, I’ve worked as a veterinary technician and was recently certified. My experience includes both emergency and general practice with small animals, along with some experience caring for exotic pets. This background has given me experience recognizing changes in behavior, administering medications, following medical instructions, and helping pets feel comfortable in new or stressful situations. In addition to working in veterinary medicine, my roommate and I have been fostering animals for the past 2 years through a local rescue. Fostering has allowed me to work with pets from many different backgrounds, personalities, and comfort levels while helping them adjust to new environments and build confidence. It’s been incredibly rewarding to help provide a safe, loving space while they wait to find their forever homes. One thing I take pride in is building trust with animals. Some pets warm up immediately and others need more time—and I’m happy to meet them where they are. I focus on making each pet feel safe, respected, and cared for at their own pace. When caring for your pet, I treat them like my own and make it a priority to follow your routine and preferences closely. Whether that means maintaining feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, or simply keeping things familiar and comfortable, I aim to provide reliable, personalized care. I’d love the opportunity to get to know you and your pet and provide care you can feel confident in while you’re away. I currently work at an animal clinic in Holly Springs 4 days per week (typically 8:00 AM–7:00 PM, schedule may vary slightly). My lunch break is one hour (usually 1–2 PM or 2–3 PM), which allows flexibility for midday potty breaks and check-ins. Depending on your pet’s needs and comfort level, I may be able to: • Bring your dog with me to work (they would remain safely kenneled while I’m working and receive up to 3 potty breaks during my shift) • Stop by your home during my lunch break if you’re located within ~15 minutes of my workplace • Coordinate care plans ahead of time to make sure your pet’s routine is maintained Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors, going on adventures with my own pup, and making sure pets in my care get quality attention, enrichment, and exercise. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my priority. Every animal is different, and I adjust my approach based on their personality and needs. If your dog is social and excited to meet new people, we’ll jump right into playtime, walks, and building trust. If your pet is more reserved or nervous, I’ll move at their pace and give them time and space to feel comfortable. I believe in creating positive experiences and respecting each pet’s boundaries. With my experience working in veterinary medicine, I’m comfortable monitoring behavior, recognizing changes, and following care instructions closely.

“Joan is very patient with my somewhat aggressive dog. She arrived on time everyday and was super sweet with Tiger. She really goes above and beyond to bond with Tiger. I am definitely booking with Joan in the future.”

“I can not recommend Laura highly enough. She has been dependable and my dog Baxter loves her visits! She consistently sends updates and photos during the visits.”

About: I have had my own dogs and cats of every kind since I was in kindergarten! I dog sat and walked multiple dogs of family friends and neighbors throughout high school! In college I lived in a household with both cats and dogs together for 4 years. I currently live with a friendly pup, and care for my significant other's pup as well! I love to play, walk, or run! If your pup needs cuddles, they will sure get some! I am a nurse and my availability is contingent on my nursing schedule. 2-3 days of the week I will usually be unavailable but it’s not the same schedule every week. I have a pretty flexible schedule for services on my days off and can be available at short notice. I can visit, walk, or do overnight care for the animals! I have a decent sized house with currently no animals but a partner who can provide extra loving. There is plenty of outside yard space for pups to run around, and there is a dog park nearby. Walks or runs are available! Whatever your dog (or cat) may need, I'll be there to help!
