Dog Walkers in Spout Springs, NC

About: Growing up with dogs and cats my whole life along with volunteer work through the Humane society led me to graduate with a Bachelors Degree in Animal Sciences and an interest in veterinary work. I later in life worked as an Animal Law Enforcement Officer through the Humane Society in Colorado Springs, helping to protect the safety and well-being of animals in the area. Now living here in Cameron looking to help improve the health and well-being of local pets with exercise and enrichment. I am currently a stay at home mom with young school age children. Taking care of pets allows me the freedom of daily exercise, and knowing I'm making a positive impact in the lives of animals and their owners while working within my busy schedule of mom-life. I have a very friendly dog whose great on her leash and I'm more than willing to accommodate the behavioral and exercise needs of other pups while on their walks. As a previously trained Animal Law Enforcement officer, I have experience handling unpredictable environments to ensure the safety of your pet.

“Tara is a lifesaver for me. I couldnt be more thankful I found her. She is attentive to all my annoying dog mom requests, quick to respond to me, and sends me reassuring updates all throughout the day. Im in a stressful new position and it was just a weight off my shoulders to find someone who cares for dog as much as she does!”

About: I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles of all kinds, and rabbits. I will take care of and love your animals as if they were my own. I work from home, so I am able to do lunchtime drop-ins and evening drop-ins. If needed, I could also be available to do a morning drop-in. I will follow all directions given to make sure your animal is taken care of as you would. I currently have two cats and a dog of my own, and they are very spoiled.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over two decades of hands-on pet-care experience. I started caring for animals at 11 years old, helping a local cat breeder with everything from birthing and bottle-feeding to cleaning up and socializing kittens. Since then, I’ve continued to care for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities — including the two large pups in my own pack. When your pets stay with me, they’ll enjoy: • Daily neighborhood walks • A free bath upon request • A home filled with toys, enrichment, and plenty of attention • Lots of photo updates so you can relax while you’re away I treat every pet like family, and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! 🐾 I work Monday through Friday from 7am - 4pm, but I am free all night and all weekend to tend to your babies. If on post, I can also be available for a short period at any time during the day. I treat every animal with kindness. I also have a pack that I have to leave in the care of others while I go out of town, so I understand how important it is to have someone who will truly care for your babies. I will make sure to send plenty of photos so that you can see how your dog is adjusting while you're away.

About: I've had all sorts of dogs growing up, including my own good boy now. I've been able to train my own dog since he was young so I can help with training as needed for puppies. We now have a house full of dogs (aka 3 big babies) and do everything we can to keep them happy and healthy! Lots of walks, a big backyard, play dates, etc. I take pride in making sure our babies get the best of the best and will ensure your baby gets the same! I currently work from home on the weekdays so I am fairly free to make drop in visits during the day while you're working. I'm also free on most weekends if you need help then too! I have a large fenced yard with plenty of room for your dog to run around, it's even 6 ft for those escape artists. We also have lots of toys in the yard for your dog to play with. For those that need walks, we have plenty of trails and open space around the corner to stretch out their legs even more!

About: As a dedicated animal lover with hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, I am confident and comfortable working with animals of all ages, temperaments, and needs. My experience includes caring for dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, and other small animals, giving me the knowledge and patience to provide safe, attentive, and compassionate care. Whether your pet needs playtime, exercise, feeding, medication support, or simply companionship while you are away, I strive to make every animal feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I take pride in being reliable, trustworthy, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine as I am a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. This allows me to provide consistent, attentive care, including morning, midday, and evening visits as needed. I provide in-home pet care by following each pet’s established routine to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their own environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to maintain their normal feeding schedule, provide fresh water, clean litter boxes or designated areas, and give them exercise, playtime, and companionship based on their individual needs. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, ensuring they receive calm, attentive care while their owners are away. If needed, I can administer basic medications and follow any specific instructions provided by the owner. My goal is always to keep pets happy, secure, and well cared for in the comfort of their own home.

About: I have had animals my entire life always making them a priority. From raising two puppies, I am experienced to take care of your pets and their needs. I also spent lots of time with my grandmother at her farm taking care of a variety of different animals with different needs. I am more than capable of caring for your animals with love, patience, kindness, and respect. I will give my free time to your pets and will make them a priority! I am free to care for you pets! I have a fenced in backyard with a dog door to their crate! I feed them twice a day. And always have play time at the end of the day before bed.

“Makya was amazing with my two dogs. They had never been left alone but I’ve had trouble boarding them. Even Rolo who takes a bit to warm up ended up loving her. She walked them and hung out with them and really gave me peace of mind so I could enjoy my trip. I recommend her highly!!!”

About: I have had a dog in my family since I was a child. I have experience with puppies and elderly dogs. We have had high energy dogs and those who just sleep all day. Feel assured I can help your dog feel at home while you're away! I do work full time, I have a dog in the house who would love to have some friends around the house. We wake early and are home by 4:30 so lots of play time in the evening. I do have an unfenced yard so if you have a runner please let me know, I do have five acres we get to explore. I have a pet in the home super friendly cocker spaniel, he is crated for sleep. We have had many dogs uncrated so that is up to you. I can follow rules whatever is needed for you to feel comfortable. We have plenty of time and space for extra four footed friends in the house! I have two little kiddos 10 and 7 years old who also help get lots of energy out. If your pet likes to run off and or is an escape artist make sure to let me know. Please do your best to answer screening questions honestly because these answers will help me best decide if we are a match moving forward with the request. Providing honest answers to my screening questions will make sure everyone is safe and happy. I want to make sure we all have a great visit.

About: My experience has been shaped around my pets. I have had 7 dogs and 2 cats. I love pets of all kinds and want to be the best friend for your pet! Being a stay at home mom has allowed me to not only care for my pets but enjoy endless fun days as a family. Being able to provide for them when they’re sick really makes staying at home worth while. Building trust with a fur baby is very important to me. I wish to treat them like they are my own so I will approach them with love and tenderness to ensure the maximum level of care is given.

“Elise was absolutely amazing. I got frequent updates through out my trip and great communication. Even with rough weather she was timely and so kind to Jax. I highly recommend Elise for any of your pet care needs. Thanks Elise you are awesome!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child - both dogs and cats! I have done it as a drop in service, staying overnight at someone else’s home, and as boarding in my own home. We love all dogs, and frequently watch our friend’s dogs of all ages. Currently live on base so must have base access for boarding! I am a stay-at-home-mom so I am home all day - your dog would never be by themselves! We let our own dogs outside to play multiple times a day, and always have water out for them. We also frequently go on walks in the evening to get that last bit of energy out. I have a fenced in yard, and 2 super friendly golden retrievers. Charlie (5) and Emma (4) are both neutered/spayed, and love other dogs. We allow them on the furniture which would extend to your pet too, but we can also crate your pet too if that’s what you prefer.

“Megan is wonderful! Takes my dog Hera for long walks every time and spends time with her. Megan also takes pictures of my sweet girl and send them to me every time she walks her! Will definitely continue to book with her!!”

About: I have been a dog mom for 10 years now. I have 2 dogs - Sidney and Rocky. I am comfortable with all dog sizes and breeds. I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty open when I’m not running kids to appointments. I am open to either short term or long term visits. I own a home with a large backyard. We do have young children. Rocky takes a little bit to warm up and Sidney is a grumpy lady if she doesn’t get adequate nap time but they both like to play.

About: I've been pet sitting for some family friends for the last 4 years and have watched dogs of various breeds for 4 different families. Watching both dogs and just recently in the last year cats. So far I've watched up to 3 dogs at a time. I'm happy to take them out for walks, make sure that they go to the bathroom, that they've eaten, medicine taken, and their water bowls are always filled. I've watched both senior dogs and young dogs. If your sweet fur child has any need any specific needs that need to be followed just let me know and I'll make sure it's done! I'll also make sure to give you updates on anything that happens! Like when I get to your place, when I'm about to leave, if your furry friend gets sick, has an accident, or just general update how well they're doing. I'm also working to get a pet cpr certification. I do ask that before I watch your furry buddy that I come over for a short visit before the scheduled date to meet your furry friend, so you and your furry friend can both trust me, and we can discuss any specific details and get a key to your house if needed. I'm a single game developer and artist who works from home. So I've got a good amount of free time throughout the day, where I can stop working and drive over to help out if your in need of any. If your someone that works an early morning shift and you need someone at your house by 6 to 7 AM at the latest to let your dogs go to the bathroom, make sure they're fed, medicine taken, or take them out for a short walk. I can be there. I can promise you that I'm a rule follower. If you tell me not to do something I won't do it. If I am unsure of something I can promise you that I'll send you a text or give you a call to get your input on whatever it is that I'm unsure of. I'll also make sure to give updates, and let you know when I've arrived and when I'm leaving. I'll also make sure to let you know if any accidents happen, and clean up any mess that may happen!

About: I love dogs and have always enjoyed taking care of them for friends and loved ones. I recently got out of the USMC and started college, a friend recommended that I try dog sitting so here I am. I have a fairly open schedule as I peruse online courses for college. I tend to exercise weekly and would love to bring any dogs with me. I attend church on Sunday mornings and sometimes have youth related activities in the afternoon but will still be able to get back to take care of any pet I sit. I let pets on some of the furniture in my home, besides that if there are any special guide lines for them I have no problem fallowing them to a T. I am experienced with multiple types of dog breeds and any needs they may have.

About: I’ve been a foster, and a permanent dog mom to every size and breed of dog you could imagine! I currently have a Labrador retriever but have experience with all ages of dogs, and all sizes from a chihuahua to mastiffs! I am a stay-at-home mom so this is a nice side hustle with something I love which is taking care of dogs and also having something extra to do with my kid! I have a large fenced-in yard with a Labrador retriever who’d love to keep your dogs company! We’re also in a very dog friendly community so walks are a possibility if wanted!
