Dog Walking Stem

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. Dogs seem to take to me well. I’ve worked as a junior groomer for a few months and trained my own dog. Not professionally, but he listens and understands. I’ve always loved dogs and been an animal person! I have an almost 4 month old baby so I have been a SAHM. I love to work and would like to help my family more. This way I can be at home loving on my son and also your fur babies! We just moved into our forever home due to my husband being retired Navy. We got married in Hawaii where he was stationed and I grew up. Our neighborhood was military and I would watch peoples dogs, board, check ins, walks. I worked at a doggie daycare and became close with a client who would bring her dog over to me to watch instead. Also, became very close with some people in the neighborhood whom I’ve take care of their dogs and now can say are friends like family!

About: I am a true animal lover. I have had pets my entire life (50+ years!!). I also volunteer at animal shelters and rescue organizations. I have saved animals lives...ask me about Luciano!. I know how much we love our pets and to many of us, they are our family and mean the world to us. That is how I would describe myself as well. I'm very trustworthy and responsible. If I make a commitment to care for your family member(s), I will give them TLC as if they were my own. If I had the ability, I would have my own sanctuary. I am currently available to care for your dogs, cats and any other pets that you have. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or to discuss possible arrangements. Best wishes, Arlene I am a newer resident to NC. I unfortunately was laid off from my job during Christmas 2024. Right now , my preference is to work with animals or humans with special concerns. I currently have almost open availability to care for your cherished pets. I can care for other animals as well, including lizards, snakes, fish, birds, bunnies, chickens, even pet rodents! Your pets safety is of upmost concern to me. I will follow whatever guidelines and preferences you have. Written information is helpful. I am extremely trustworthy.

About: I have had dogs from 30lbs to 150 lbs and I have loved them all! In my free time I volunteer hiking with dogs at a local animal shelter. And spend the rest of the time spoiling my two fur babies at home. I work remote and have a flexible schedule that can accommodate a wide range of needs during the weekdays as well as on the weekends. My two fur babies are trained to listen off leash, but love to go for walks on leash. One is a couch potatoes that can be trusted and one a wild puppy that is crate trained. So I am used to a wide range of care needs.

About: Hi All, My name is Alessandria but I prefer to be called Alekx and no the K is not a typo. My hair color is subject to change but it's just dyed hair braided into my natural hair. I have been caring for animals professionally since 2006, until 2013 where I took a leap in a different field of work. I use to move all over the country but I am home and hoping to start pet sitting as my main job. I have a guinea pig by the named Tikka Teacake and she is a little siren but she is my 3rd guinea pig. I am a non-smoker and prefer days curled up with fluffy creatures and a good book. In regards to my experience I have worked at pets resorts such as Sunny Acres where I had a few loyal dogs that I dearly miss. I have owned large dog breeds my whole life and grew up with pure breed Rottweilers, German Shepherd mixes, and my current lovely mutt. I have been doing home pet sitting for over a decade. I usually spend most the day when I am at home entertaining my pets or letting them have free run of the backyard with regular check ins. I make sure that their food is good for their stomach, their daily exercise if playing outside with a normal dose of petting and grooming. I recently got off of medical leave so I have started short nightly walks and we work out together to stay happy and healthy. I am a big night owl so I love watching my dogs snore about. A safe home is one your pet recognizes as the pack den. I care for all pets with repetitive training, health care checks, grooming, and dental care as long as they will let me. I love to make a home pet safe by avoiding choking hazards and loose cables. (Mainly because my guinea pig is a little menace). Medications are taken with timers and usually snuck into foods. I like keeping basic training habits are maintained so that the pets do not unlearn anything their humans have taught them.

About: Most of my experience is with dogs of friends or co-workers. I generally keep their dogs at their place where they are most comfortable and take them out frequently for walks/runs or whatever they'd like to do. So long as the dog is house trained and not on the "forbidden breed list" at the apartments I stay, they are welcome to my home too. I've sat a Pointer/Dalmation mix, Maltese mix, Shepherd mix, Chow Chow, Boxer, Cane Corso, and 2 Weimaraners in the past. My fulltime job is a nurse, and I only work 36 hours a week. I don't really consider pet sitting or walking a job because I love dogs so much. Just looking to make some extra income and maybe start my own business someday. I have a laid back personality and dogs tend to take to me immediately or at least stay true to their breeds. Chow Chow was my brother-in-law's dog who barked at me a good 3-4 times before she knew I wasn't a total stranger. Bothered me none.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life! My family had a wonderful mutt that arrived the same year that I was born, so he was essentially my puppy sibling. He has long passed away but I also have many years of experience dog sitting for my family and friends and can provide references. My current place won't let me have pets, so it will be awesome to get my fix by taking care of your wonderful dogs! I can't wait to meet them. I have a full time Monday-Friday job, but I am available on weekends, and after 5:30 during the week. I can be flexible, and try to accommodate your ad your pet's needs! Safety is my first priority. I will never have company or even food delivery inside of your home, and will never provide your address to anyone else, unless it is an emergency, in which case I will contact you directly first and get your permission to call my emergency contact (my mother)! I will make sure I feed and walk your dogs(s) consistently, and of course play with them and give them attention while you are away. I do not mind doing light housework, and I am comfortable with sitting for more than one dog.

“So professional and helpful!! Highly recommend! David really went above and beyond, taking JuneBug on a nice long walk down along the river, and including lots of photos of her smiling face.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and I genuinely love caring for them. I grew up taking care of farm animals and mostly took care of chickens and stray cats in my area, so I’m very comfortable with different types of animals and personalities. I’ve also have pets of my own, including my cat Onion, who I’ve raised since birth, and a husky named Gunner that I adopted from a shelter. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family with their pets, whether that’s walking, feeding, or just spending time with them so they feel comfortable and not alone. I’m very patient and attentive, and I naturally adjust to each pet’s energy! My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away! I am currently a student, Army ROTC cadet, and athlete at North Carolina Central University. I am usually up really early in the morning for physical training at around 5-7am. I would love to start your animals day off with a morning walk or play session! I have a few classes M-TH and can be available depending on the time. However, I’m free all day on Fridays plus weekends. Keeping your pet safe and comfortable are my top priorities. I will not be caring for pets in my home because I am in a dorm for school, but in a clients home I always follow care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special needs. I make sure pets are supervised, secure, and in a clean environment at all times. I’m very observant to behavior and mood changes and will communicate regularly.

“Alani and her crew were super friendly and loving towards Mallory. Our meet and greet went great, and they were on time to take Mal out for a walk and spent some good quality time with her. Lots of sweet pictures and good vibes were sent during the visit. Alani is super chill and professional, and I'll be booking again so they can spend some time with Mal and help out our family.”

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets in the past as well as many of my friends and families. I love to snuggle them if they like it and often prefer the company of pets to humans 😅 I can take of pers after work and over night if I stay in the home. I work from home every other week as well so that allows me to be present more often if needed as long as their is internet. I honestly treat them as I do my own daughter. With love and kindness. They’re fur babies and deserve just as much love and respect.

Your pet will get all the attention they get at home on my watch. Whether you walk them multiple times a day or take them to a park I’m known for going above and beyond for my clients and their pets needs. Getting a good amount of exercise and playtime throughout the day is my biggest concern. I want to stimulate the pets mind and make sure they’re having the most fun as possible I am open to having a client who needs daily/weekly walks for their pet. My schedule is flexible and I’m comfortable around all sizes and breeds of dogs Daily photos and videos will be sent to you through out your pets stay.

About: I have worked on a farm for over a year so working in hot or rainy conditions is pretty standard for me — because of that walking your dogs in any weather is a slice of cake! I have owned numerous pets and took care of my neighbors dogs, cats, birds, and other critters for years. I am a very reliable and caring person and love spending time with animals, and would love even more to spend time with yours :) My current schedule is 7am-3pm with the ability to assist with your lunch time walking needs, pre work and post work care and attention, and the ability to help out with weekends away! It’s really important to me that your animals don’t feel lonely. I am able to feed, walk, play with, or just hang out with your furry friends! I have fostered many kittens and am capable of taking care of many animals or just focusing on one.

“Reliable, kind and caring. I was very pleased. I hope to have Amy again.”

About: I am a dog owner and have been receiving great care from other dog walkers and owners. I am looking to provide the same quality time and attention to dogs (and cats!) whose owners have to be away for a period of time during the day. I have most experience with walking dogs including my friends’ and neighbors’ dogs for a few years because I truly believe that dogs benefit from walking in many ways such as physical conditioning, brain stimulation and socialization which also leads to improved mood and behavior. I am also open to provide attention and care to cats at their home ensuring that they are comfortable with strangers. I request a meet-and-greet with your pet/s before the visit so that I can properly introduce myself to your pet/s (and you as well!) and know the details of the type of attention and care they need. It is important for me to know any medical conditions, their temperament as well as any training that has been provided since these things will help me extend the love and care that they normally receive from their owners. My schedule varies each week so I can be available for a stretch of days for your loved one. Just ask and we’ll work something out I have a fenced-in backyard and 2 dogs. One of my dogs takes awhile to warm up to other dogs although he loves to play once he has opened up. That said, I am only open to boarding your pet if they are either crated and low energy or easy going type that is friendly to other dogs.

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for the past 13 years. I have particular experience in watching dogs with a variety of medical conditions and am pretty adept at getting dogs to take their pills! I love to give a dog as much attention as they want, whether that’s playing, long walks, or plenty of belly scratches! I am currently interviewing for residency programs so I have an exorbitant amount of free time as I am off of clinical service for serval months during this interview season. I care for pets earnestly as if they were my own. Though I don’t currently have a pet, I babysit for my friends all the time who are busy doctors. I try to make the pets as comfortable as possible with me and try to provide as much attention as they are looking for, because I know it can be hard for them when their people are away.

About: I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments over the past decade. My experience ranges from the two extra small, now senior terriers in my family home to my two young, giant German Shepherds, who weigh a combined 200 pounds. I understand the importance of patience, adaptability, and understanding each dog's individual needs. I'm an empathetic and attentive caregiver who prioritizes safety, trust, and authentic connections with every dog in my care. I want every dog to feel comfortable, secure, and loved. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine, and I make time to provide attentive, dependable care. I'm happy to work with your babies established schedule for meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially those who experience separation anxiety or feel nervous around new people. I'll communicate with you about scheduling and your pet's needs to ensure they receive thoughtful, reliable care. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pets. As the owner of two large German Shepherds, I understand the importance of secure handling, awareness, and respecting each dog's individual temperament. I take time to help animals feel comfortable with me and follow their owners' instructions closely. I respect your home, maintain a clean and calm environment, and never assume two pets have the same needs. I'm happy to follow feeding instructions, medication routines as directed, leash and crate preferences, and any other safety precautions you provide. Your fur babies comfort and well being will always come first.

About: I have had dogs my entire life! I currently own two corgis that I’ve had since they were eight weeks old, and two cats! They are my favorite things on this planet and I would love to help you out when you need it as people have done for me over the years!! I currently work remotely with the exception of two days a week, but my office hours are also very flexible! I’m comfortable driving around Raleigh and Durham so anywhere in the triangle I’m happy to go to! I frequently pet it for multiple friends around the triangle as well, so this is not new for me! I love animals and I always want the owner to feel like they can have peace of mind, knowing that their pets are safe and cared for! I am the person who stops every single time she sees a dog or a cat, and asks to say hi! I have raised my dogs since they were puppies and have experience with cats and now own two of my own! I have a very flexible, lifestyle and schedule that can fit most people’s requests!
