Dog Walkers in Stanley, NC

About: From growing up on a farm to having my own animal children now, animals have always been a passion of mine! I managed a boarding facility for awhile and my dream is to start my own rescue some day. Let me love on your fur babies!! I have 3 pets of my own so pet care is apart of my everyday routine! From the time i wake up to the time i go to sleep im doing some sort of pet care. I follow every instruction from mom and dad and treat every pet as if they were my own! If i’m at a clients home i believe everything should be put back where it was. It’s very important to keep a pet in their routine to avoid stress and i’m willing to do what’s needed to accomplish that!

“Sean is absolutely amazing! He is extremely conscientious, and is a great communicator. My Great Dane puppy loves spending time with him and I think she even gets a little sad on days he doesn’t come. I would 100% recommend Sean to anyone!”

“Thank you so much for helping wiggles out for the day! And coming last minute, especially in the rain! Thanks for taking such great care of him!”

About: I have 1 Westiepoo and 1 cat. I work from home and keep an eye on them in my office at all times. They receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I will care for them as if they were my children ☺️ Work from home and am a homebody so I will be around all the time to give them lots of love and attention. If your furry friend is the anxious type, our home is very peaceful throughout the day. I have a fenced yard big enough for lots of running and plenty of playing. We love walks around our neighborhood and provide lots of attention to our pets.

“Valeria was amazing! This was my first time using Rover services, so I was extremely nervous about trusting someone to care for my pup the way I do. Valeria, my dog, and I had a meet and greet to discuss instructions and get acclimated. She was prompt with every walk, followed my instructions, and was extremely kind. Valeria sent many pictures of my dog, who looked like she was having a blast on her walks. I will definitely be rebooking soon!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life! I’ve raised small and large dogs, taken care of new borns and raised multiple puppies. I am great with all breeds. I currently have a German shepherd, husky lab mix. And live with 2 golden puppies and a chihuahua. I am in between jobs at the moment. So I have a pretty open schedule to take care of your babies at any time. Whatever you may need We have a fenced in yard. With plenty of space to run around. All dogs sleep indoors and are welcome where ever they want in the house. Dogs are family here!

“Awesome dog walker! Hotrod ( Doggo ) came back with the zoomies and then sudden crash! He looked like he had an absolute blast!”

“Ms. Annie is nothing short of Amazing! She has been with my dog Chanel since I recently moved to the neighborhood and I am sooo very happy I was able to connect with her. If you are looking for someone to trust, reliable, and who love and cares for your pet, I would Highly recommend connecting with Ms. Annie.”

About: I have had my fur baby since 2012 and so far she is perfect. I really don't have professional experience but I have tons of personal experience from taking care of my fur baby, my friends and family fur babies. I have tons of love to give to any fur baby. I can guarantee you will not be disappointed! I am currently doing this full time for a short period of time. Unfortunately I can't do boarding or day care but will do Drop in Visits and Walking. I am a US Navy veteran and a dog lover! I can take them out potty regularly during the day, treats after each potty break, will take them to the park for walks. Fur babies can get on the couch with me, enough dog beds and blankets to go around for naps. Food and water available. (owner should bring own food so diet is not changed). I have a 9lbs dog who is 9 years old, she is a lap dog, very calm, loves naps and likes to play. She doesn't do well around extremely hyper dogs but she will play with active dogs. She gets along with any size dog but I prefer small dogs as my mom has a fear of big dogs.

About: I’ve spent the last seven years walking and caring for my own three dogs every day — a Jack Russell, a Golden Retriever, and a Goldendoodle — so I’m used to different energy levels, paces, and personalities. I know how to keep walks fun, safe, and stress-free while paying attention to what each dog needs along the way. I’m taking online classes, so I’ve got a flexible routine that works perfectly for stopping by your pup. I’ll make sure they get lots of love, attention, and happy vibes while you’re away. I focus on keeping your dog’s routine consistent and comfortable. I’m attentive and respectful, making sure they feel secure and cared for during every visit.

“Duke loves Cameron and Caitlin! They spent extra time with him and were very genuinely concerned with Duke’s well being! We’re sad we no longer need daily drop bys but will definitely reach out in the future if we need boarding!”

About: I would love to meet your babies and give you peace of mind that your dogs are in great hands while you’re away. I started dog sitting at a very young age and fell in love with taking care of dogs. I have experience around all different breeds and enjoy researching temperaments, activity levels, and personality traits to understand how I can best care for each and every dog. I am a dog parent myself and understand how upsetting it is to leave them and I would like to give you encouragement that I will treat your dogs as my own to ensure they get plenty of playtime, walks, and belly rubs. I am available and flexible to work with your schedule and your dog’s needs. And hey, If I’m not working, you may just catch me at the dog park! I work full time, but I have a consistent routine that allows me to be available before and after work, and on lunch breaks. I am home on weekends and evenings, so I’m able to check in often and keep your pet comfortable and happy. In my home, pets have a clean cozy place to relax with access to a fenced in yard for plenty of playtime. While caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep everything consistent and low stress.

“Caroline took care of my fur baby this week. She was very kind and caring towards my pup and I knew she was in good hands while we were away! Caroline showed up as scheduled and reached out with any issues. Highly recommend Caroline for any pets caring needs. Will definitely use her again!”

About: Hi! My late dog, Kukana (the yellow one in the majority of my pictures), stole my heart and she made me fall in love with all dogs ever since! I had a couple cats growing up too, so I’m familiar with cat care as well! Their comfort and happiness is my top priority. For dogs: long walks, short walks, pee breaks, cookies, snuggles, water, play time, all of it. Whatever they need, whenever they need it. Their needs are my “job” and they deserve the best care possible! Kukana passed away 2 years ago and while I didn’t have her around, I became more involved with Rover to take care of other animals when needed. In the last year of her life, I became well-versed with the extra needs of senior dogs (more potty breaks, guidance when blind, giving pills, and administering shots as well). I can take care of your pup when your schedule simply doesn’t allow for it. We want to make sure that they’re in good hands when we just can’t be there for them 24/7, and that’s what I’m here to help with! I can be flexible with availability as I’m a stay-at-home mom and I have some family in the area that can typically care for my son when my dog services are needed. I’ll give your dog or cat whatever they want and need! I’m so happy to be around them and really strive to make them so comfortable and loved. I have such a tremendous love for cats and dogs as they add so much happiness to our lives without even trying. They deserve to be spoiled to the max. “Everyone thinks they have the best dog. And none of them are wrong.”

“Once again, McKenna to the rescue! I reached out to her super last minute and she was able to accommodate my request. She is wonderful to our three dogs and they adore her!”

About: I have been taking care of a wide range of pets for the past five years. Whether for friends, family or new clients I have taken care of dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles! Rover is currently a full-time job while I’m part-time security guard for DSI Security. I was already doing pet services before/during the pandemic, so I like making connections through this application for more clients. I will be able to provide services accordingly with my schedule around the clock and care for your pet(s) whether it’s overnight sitting, walking or daily drop-ins! I can balance between DSI Security and my days off. The most important thing is making sure pets remain comfortable when you need to get away for a few days. A meet and greet prior to a service ensures this as I am able to become familiar with your pet(s) and how your day to day routine is for them.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve grown up around dogs and know firsthand how much love, energy, and attention they need to stay happy and healthy. Friends and family often turn to me to care for their pets because I’m dependable, patient, and treat every animal like my own. I’m safety-conscious, punctual, and committed to making pet parents feel at ease knowing their furry family member is in good hands. Throughout the last 1.5 years of being a dog mom of my sweet golden girl, she has taught me how rewarding it is to literally stop and smell the roses! I want to be able to give all dogs a chance to get out and stretch their paws and energize when their busy paw-rents have to work or when life gets busy. I love to play frisbee with my dog to get out all the energies, but walks around the park, track, or hiking trails satisfies both of our needs! I truly believe dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. That’s why I’m excited to bring my energy, compassion, and reliability to dog walking and give each pup the care and attention they need. I am currently only offering dog walking services but as I expand my journey with pet walking I am willing to open up for boarding and house sitting! I’m available for lunchtime walks throughout the week depending on your location, as well as evening walks (after 5:30-9p). I am available any weekend to spend some quality time with your pups! As I am currently only offering walking services right now, if you were to book your pup with me I would keep them leashed/harnessed during any walk or play time. If they were to come to my home, I would bring them on a short walk to the baseball field down the street where we could play catch with the frisbee and run freely as it is fully fenced in and my yard is not. I am a short distance from Crowders Mountain so if your dog craves adventure and a little extra workout, we can do that too!

About: Proud owner of Kam’s Happy Tails. Check out my website (trying to move off of rover 😊) Grew up with animals all my life. Worked with horses for 6 years before i became a manager at a horse farm. Recently i work for a doggy playdate company which has given me a lot of experience in dog care ranging from puppy-senior pups. Trust your loved ones will be safe with me! I am currently using rover full-time! I am available Sunday-Saturday anytime after 8 am. I have reliable transportation and am always on time, if not a couple minutes early. I prefer to meet your family before my stay to allow your pet to meet me (and vice versa) and to discuss house rules and expectations. I like to keep with the family’s normal routine to ensure no unnecessary anxiety fall on your pets. I will always ask for the contact information of your usual vet and the emergency vet you like to use, as well as an emergency contact if i cannot get ahold of you.

“Kendall was awesome! Super friendly and personable she took great care of our dog and updated us the whole time. We would definitely use her again”

“Wendy is a fantastic dog walker and pet sitter. She walks my dog three times a week and always makes sure to feed him during her drop-ins. She consistently sends me updates and photos, which I really appreciate. Wendy is reliable, communicative, and someone I fully trust with my pet.”
