Dog Walkers in Spencer, NC

About: I’ve had a Basset hound and a Weimaraner over 15 years. I’ve owned 4 extremely well behaved, adjusted, and playful cats for over 20 years. I have open availability to take care of your fur baby while you’re away. Im active and have love playing fetch with dogs, and going on walks. I love cats - they’re so curiously entertaining! I can bathe your dogs, play an excellent round of fetch, give them lots of love an attention while I’m visiting. Cats: play toys, scratchpads, shoestrings, balls w bells, and brushing, when they prefer. I’ve got lots of dog toys- balls, chew bones, frisbees squeaky toys. I gave away my dog harnesses, but still have my retractable leash. If they like going out on the town, I love going to pet smart to just look around and pick out a toy. They have pup cups at Pelicans- if their sugar is under control, and then go to dog park, or just playing and keeping him company in the home. I’m very good at attending to both dogs & cats. I do not spank ( with my hand or an object, like a newspaper) or hit animals, nor use a water sprayer to punish animals if they’ve done something wrong. I use redirection and a stern tone and shake my finger at them. They usually respond well to that. Then when I see them doing the right thing I reward them with enthusiastic positive talk. For bigger issues, I always have treats in my pocket, using instant gratification to regain their attention.

About: Hello! I'm currently a nursing student that has a love for all animals and if I wasn’t going to be a nurse I’d definitely be a Vet! I have 14 years of experience with caring for all sorts of dogs. I can do senior care and puppy care whatever you may need! I have flexible availability if I’m ever not available I prioritize clear communication over anything else. Just let me know what you need and I got you and your precious pet! I hope that your best friend can become mine as well! Currently I’m a full time nursing student, which makes working a regular 9-5 or hospital 12hr shifts quite difficult. I’m big on communication, I will always lay out my current hours as I’m in an accelerated course. I have a fenced in yard, and I live in a neighborhood that is super pet friendly where I can safely take your dog on walks.

“Lori was a pleasure to work with. Mollie fell in love with her and her affectionate care during their walks. I would not hesitate to ask for her assistance in the future when and if needed. I highly recommend Lori for anyone who needs their pet looked after or walked or for any other service she offers. She's a Five Star for your Furbabies!”

About: I am a mother and it is obvious in the way I care for dogs it comes naturally and doesn't feel like work. Also, I am friendly, upbeat, and enjoy spending time with dogs. Currently, I am a bar captain for a Broadway theater. So my availability is mostly in the afternoons, and late nights. Over my lifetime, I have had many dogs. All were rescued dogs who suffered from tremendous abuse. With that lasting trauma, trust and behavioral issues are common and for which I have the patience for. In addition to my personal experiences with dogs coming from special circumstances, most of my dogs have been medium to large breeds, and many of those were scent hounds. Which means you have to indulge some curiosities, all while staying mindful of safety. Therefore I would be happy taking your dogs on indulgent walks led by their noses and helping you take great care of your dogs would be my pleasure.

About: I worked as a kennel technician at a boarding/daycare facility for over a year so I have seen firsthand how stressful those environments can be despite how social you think your dog might be with others. Dogs have always been one of my special interests since I was very little, I have plenty of experience taking care of senior dogs and puppies, and I am comfortable taking care of any breed/temperament. I have no problem if you spam me for pictures of your pup and I love sending constant updates and pics! I know how stressful it can be not to have your dog in your own care so no request is too small. I am a full-time college student studying environment and zoology, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! I have full class schedule throughout the week and it changes per semester, don’t let that stop you from reaching out! I will take a look at any request and see if I can make them work. The more specific you are the better. If I have even the tiniest question I will not hesitate to reach out, I want your dog to be as close to there typical environment/schedule as possible so they are comfortable. Saftey is the big priority for me when caring for your pup, your dog will never be put in an unsafe situation by me. I am comfortable with emergency aid if necessary and I have transportation if your dog needs to be taken to a veterinarian.

About: I've been surrounded by dogs of every kind my entire life, I have had 2 dogs and 3 cats. I enjoy working with dogs because I am an outdoor person who likes to go for runs and walks. I have been relied on by my friends and neighbors to come and spend time, feed, and walk their pets. I am currently enrolled at Catawba College, getting my masters degree, while competing on the beach volleyball team. All my classes are online and practice ranges from 7-8am, 11am- 1pm, and 5-6pm, but vary through the week. I have a fenced-in backyard for my 2-year-old Lab and I make sure that we keep the bedroom doors closed so I can always keep my eye on them.

“Does exactly what is needed ,dogs are happy,I’m happy”

“Lexie is awesome! She came to meet our pup before their first walk and was super thorough. She made sure she knew our routines and was so great with Skip, even with all of his puppy energy. He really loved her and we would absolutely ask her to help out again in the future!”

Jamie C.

“Emily was such a great help! We needed someone to walk our dog while we were away for a wedding and our pup Lou was happy and healthy when we returned. This was our first time working with Emily, but she coordinated a meet and greet earlier in the week to meet us and get the details for taking care of Lou. We will definitely use Emily again in the future!”

Sydni W.

“Nora was great! She's super friendly, has a calm presence and handled Benji exactly how I asked! Would definitely use her services again.”

Alexis B.

“Carmen did great with my pup and was so easy to communicate with. I will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: I have had a deep passion for animals my entire life. My mom worked in a veterinary ER clinic in my home state of South Carolina and would bring me to work to help take care of the patients and boarders on weekends through my high school years. My aunt is a dog trainer who I also shadowed. I have fostered several dogs through their adoption process, from a puppy chihuahua to a senior Great Dane. I’m comfortable with giving medications, post operative care, and much more. Neighbors, friends, and family have all entrusted me with the care of their dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and even fish (they need to eat while their people are away too!). I have taken some time away from Rover for a few years while working on my career, and moved across country to be closer to family, along with starting my own. We now have settled in Rowan County, NC and I am looking to help out fellow pet parents again! I would be available to come by on any day of the week from the times of 7-11am, 1-3pm and 6-9pm. I am pretty open during the day, these are time frames that I would be available for walks, drop in visits, feedings, etc. If other / additional times are needed we can chat and probably make it work. I keep all doors to outside closed and locked while in the home so no escapes are possible. The collar will be fitted properly and each walk will be leashed.

About: I have had a deep passion for dogs since childhood, beginning pet care at the age of 7 with my own pets, as well as those of neighbors and family friends. My experience in the field grew through opportunities at Petsmart, Banfield Pet Hospital, and Mooresville Animal Hospital, where I was able to express my compassion for animals, particularly dogs, while providing attentive care and support. As a full-time student with a Monday through Friday work schedule, I manage my time to ensure pets receive proper care throughout the day. I typically leave for work around 7:45 AM and return by 4:30 PM. During my workday, I take advantage of my breaks to let dogs out, ensuring they have the attention and care they need while I’m away. On weekends, when I am off from work, I dedicate additional time to provide more focused care. I prioritize compassion and attentive supervision when caring for pets, ensuring they are comfortable and safe at all times. I keep pet owners connected by sending regular updates, including pictures and videos, to provide peace of mind while they are away. I offer boarding services for up to three animals at a time but can accommodate individual pets for an additional fee if preferred. My goal is to create a positive and caring environment for your pet, whether in my home or yours.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 14, and with seven years of experience, I understand the importance of providing loving, reliable care. As a graduate with a degree in veterinary health science (pre-vet), I bring both experience and knowledge to pet sitting. My background in veterinary health science means I can provide attentive care for pets of all ages, including puppies and seniors. I have experience administering medications, monitoring for health concerns, and ensuring pets stay happy and comfortable. Whether it’s a playful pup or a senior pet needing extra attention, I provide compassionate and knowledgeable care. I will be starting Veterinary school in August, so will not be able to provide continued coverage however, I am not currently in school or working. So my times are pretty open. In my client’s home, I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their usual routine. I ensure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise, and enrichment through playtime and companionship. If needed, I can administer medications and monitor for any health concerns. I also keep the home clean and secure while caring for the pet, creating a stress-free experience for both the pet and their owner. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care so pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away.

About: I am a full time dog mom who has been blessed to have worked for a vets office doing daycare and boarding while I was in college, and found my way back to the animal world as a full time vet assistant for 6 years. I also started pet sitting for clients and friends a few years ago as favors and it has grown into years of house sitting either in my home or theirs. I love each pet as my own while understanding their different quirks and needs, while my training in the veterinary world allows me to medicate and take care of special needs babies if I need to. I am capable of taking care of all kinds of animals, as I also work at a barn part time with 12 horses. Although I am not a vet tech anymore I am in management in health care and I work full time but have available early mornings and evenings after 4:30. I also only work half days on Friday’s and have all weekends open. I workout at 5 am, 5 days a week so I start early! If your pet is with me, I consider it my own and definitely treat them all like family. I worked in the veterinary field in all positions for 8 years and safety is very important. Fun fact: both of my dog boys have modeled for Nutramax! I work full time but can walk at lunch time or after work, no work on weekends. If I’m staying overnight I’m already used to early mornings and taking care of pets before work. I will always take care of other pets as if they were my own, I love and am comfortable with all breeds and sizes! I enjoy being active or a lazy day on the couch, whichever your pet may need.
