Dog Walking Sterling

About: I’ve been a dog walker and pet sitter since March 2024. I have experience walking all sizes of dogs from Bernese Mountain dogs to an 8 week old pug. I’ve worked with deaf dogs, a dog that was post-op for an ACL tear, and administered medicine if the pet required it. If you have a reactive dog, I may not be the best fit for you, and that’s okay! I have experience with dogs that are reactive to cars, but I prefer not to work with dogs who are reactive to other animals. I started doing this for a little extra cash & exercise when I’m not touring as a full-time stand up comedian. (It’s a real thing. I promise you never have to hear my jokes, but your dogs probably will at some point during our walks.) If you need a weekday dog walker, I’m your gal! You will also have ample notice for any time that I am traveling out of town for shows as my tours are booked the year prior. I had about 10 consistent weekly clients in Pittsburgh working with a business called Happy Tails, but I just moved to Charlotte so I’m looking for new clients! I’m available most weekdays. Weekends are tougher and will depend on my schedule from my full-time job, but I am open to weekends as long as I am in Charlotte. I am very serious about the comfort and safety of your pet. That means I will take the safest route possible (paved sidewalks with low traffic if possible), provide water, and clean up after them when they potty to keep your neighbors happy. I am happy to follow any guidelines you have for caring for your animal. I am also open to doing a trial period with your pet to make sure that we are a good fit for each other.

About: I’ve taken care of both big and small dogs my whole life. I trained dogs for a few years and have taken so much from that. I can also help train if needed! I can handle any size in both private and public settings. Please don’t hesitate to ask if there’s anything else you would be interested in or needing that I haven’t above mentioned! Hope to meet you soon! I currently am not working so I can drop in and take care of your fur babies anytime! I have super flexible hours so virtually anytime is fine. I have reliable transportation to get to and from your home. Again my hours are very flexible for any schedule you may have! I also can transport your cat in my car for a vet visit or anything they would need to be taken to!

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I grew up in a home with two dogs and spent years helping my mom care for them, which taught me how much patience, attention, and love goes into caring for pets. I also grew up riding horses and helping care for them, so animals have always been a big part of my life. I truly enjoy being around animals and getting to know their individual personalities and needs. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, loves a good cuddle, or just needs some calm companionship while you’re away, I’m happy to give them the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I am available during lunch time, after work, and weekends. Lunch time is during my 9-5 so would need to be near where I work. I make sure to take the pets on walks to get energy out and to play with them in the home with toys. I make sure to listen to the pet owner to learn what the pet enjoys.

About: Due to my 30+ years in the veterinary profession, being Fear Free Certified and obtaining my Veterinary Nursing Specialty certification, I have the experience to handle pets of all ages and plus any health conditions they may have, giving you the peace of mind, your pet is in good hands. Pet care is a daily part of my life due to my 25 years in the veterinary profession and a life time of being owned by cats😊 My approach, in how I interact with pets, is by using the Fear Free method. This method allows me to interact with the least amount of stress to the pet.

About: I’ve been caring for animals from a small child. Many people have called me the Animal Whisperer because the connection I have with animals and many experiences with animals in my lifetime. 

Our family of three children has owned many dogs and cats giving me experience with pets of different personalities, needs, and routines. I understand that every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care. 

Whether it’s going for a walk, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship. I’ll treat your pet with the same love, attention, and respect I’d give my own. I’m a retired IT professional with over 45 years of customer service experience, which gives me the flexibility to work around your pet’s schedule and not the other way around. I’m dependable, punctual, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. In my free time, I love pickleball, walking, hiking, biking, whitewater rafting, music DJ, and volunteering in my community. An active lifestyle makes me a great companion for energetic pets, while my calm, patient nature helps shy or senior pets feel comfortable. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with a caring companion, I’ll provide the attention, affection, and reliable care they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, medications (if needed), walks, litter box or yard cleanup, and playtime. I also understand that many pets simply enjoy companionship, so I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and reassurance while you’re away. I’ll treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. Throughout each visit or stay, I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Samantha was great! She arrived promptly and my dog really enjoyed spending time with her. She also provided great pics throughout the walk. 10/10 would recommend!”

About: I have two babies of my own. A mini schnauzer named Luna and a great Pyrenees named Simba. I love dogs and have taken care of them my whole life. I am in between jobs right now so I have flexibility to check in with any pupper that needs attending to or just wants to hang. I will definitely treat your home as if it is mine and make sure the baby feels safe and protected at all times. I will be there to help in any way I can as I know how hard it is to find someone to take care of my little ones.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, caring for them like family. From puppy playtime to senior snuggles, I understand what it takes to keep tails wagging and pets happy. I treat every animal as if they’re my own… with patience, attention, and plenty of love. I have a pretty flexible schedule and a generous lead time, so just reach out to me and I will do my best to get you taken care of! While I don’t host animals in my own home, I’m happy to come to you for walks and drop-in visits in will be full of potty time and feedings per your schedule as well as plenty of play time.

About: I've had furry friends since I was a toddler. I come from a family of veterinary technicians and being one myself for 5 years. I dont see dogs and cats as pets, but as our children. Their health and happiness is my priority. I'm a full time vet tech during the week. My availability will be mostly in the evening after 7pm and on the weekends I am available after 1pm on Saturdays, Sundays any time I am VERY detailed when it comes to care and your furry child's set schedule especially when it involves medications. Whether it's just a simple walk or making sure they take their meds I am prepared for the task

About: My partner and I have well over 2 decades of experience with dogs in our lives. I have experience caring for multiple dogs at a time, including puppies, senior or disabled dogs. I do hybrid part time work, where I am away from home 4-5 hours a day, Tue-Thurs. Otherwise I work from home where my dog & yours will have unlimited attention and access to outdoors. I have a fenced backyard with ample shaded & sunny areas for your dog to enjoy. I have three dogs (all spayed girls: 11lb, 14lb, and 55lb) who would love to keep your dog company!

About: As long as I have lived I have been surrounded by pets of all kinds. Namely cats and dogs, but also guinea pigs, ferrets, chinchillas, snakes, hamsters, fish, and others. Even since moving out I still regularly care for my friends and families pets. This has given me experience in taking care of pets in all stages of life, from newborns needing potty training to seniors needing medication. I work from home, and most of my work day is hands off letting some coding scripts run. So this gives me a lot of flexibility and time in my day that outside of some select meetings I can focus fully on your pet. If allowed to work in your space I can make any schedule of your pet's needs work. This allows me to always be available to your pet, and combined with my extensive experience in taking care of pets with specialty needs I feel confident in my ability to provide the best possible care.

About: I'm have a high energy dog I've trained to excellence and reliable recall. I also pet sit for my friends' dog all the time. I'm flexible so I can come to your house for a visit or walk daytimes. Happy to feed and play with or walk your day as needed! I can crate your dog or feed it as needed, change water bowls, etc. A clean water bowl is essential for a dog's gastro health!

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve grown up raising and caring for my own dogs, from playful puppies to elderly dogs who needed a little extra love, patience, and attention. I’ve also cared for smaller animals, including hamsters. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. As a professional softball player, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for pet care around my training and active lifestyle. I’m used to staying organized and responsible with my time, and I enjoy being active throughout the day. I also love having animals around me, so caring for pets fits naturally into my routine. Whether it’s taking a dog for a walk, playing with them, or simply giving them companionship and attention, I enjoy making sure they get the care and exercise they need. I keep pets comfortable by following their routine, providing food and fresh water, giving them exercise and attention, and keeping their space clean and safe.

About: Growing up surrounded by animals and currently sharing my 2 homes with three dogs and a cat. My house’s are full of different personalities and energy levels, which has taught me how to read an animal’s needs quickly and provide the right kind of care. I know that every animal is different. Whether you have a reactive dog who needs a calm, patient hand or a senior pet who needs a gentle approach and a medication routine, I’m ready to help. From the endless energy of puppies and kittens to the quiet companionship of older pets, I have the experience to make sure your best friend feels safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away. I’m currently a college student at ECU! I’m home for the summer and have a part time job but schedule is extremely flexible! At home, my pets are family, and their well-being is my top priority. I manage a busy household with three dogs and a cat, which has given me hands-on experience with a wide range of temperaments-from high-energy puppies to calm seniors and even reactive personalities. I take a structured yet affectionate approach to their care, focusing on: • Routine & Reliability: Maintaining consistent feeding schedules and a clean environment. • Mental & Physical Health: Ensuring everyone gets the right amount of exercise and play to stay happy. • Individualized Attention: I'm highly observant of their unique body language, making sure I provide space or engagement exactly when they need it.

“Alan communicated all the needed information from the walks. He was always punctual for the 6 evenings that he walked McAlister. My dog loved him and was exhausted after his walk. Yea!!! Alan also learned our routine quickly, and I didn't need to be around when he arrived at our home. I hope he will agree to walk McAlister again. Thank you, Alan”

“Megan is truly the BEST! She has been absolutely amazing with Mango… not only taking him on walks, but also working on his training and reinforcing good habits along the way. We’ve seen such a difference in him, and he absolutely adores her. She is incredibly reliable, communicative, patient, and genuinely cares about him like he’s her own. She’s also always so sweet with our cat, Coconut, which we really appreciate! It gives us so much peace of mind knowing Mango is with someone we completely trust and who is actually helping him become a better behaved pup at the same time. We feel so lucky to have found Megan and truly couldn’t recommend her more!”

“Bret is reliable and great at communicating after every encounter. He even asks about my babies to see how they’re doing throughout the week. It is evident he has plenty of experience with pets and provides quality care as if they were his babies too. Highly recommend.”

Gabriela R.

“Jennifer is FANTASTIC - responsive, attentive to detail, goes above and beyond, and (most importantly) incredibly loving and compassionate towards our senior dog. He took to her immediately and now gets excited whenever we tell him she's coming over. Can't recommend her highly enough!!”

About: I have had pets my entire life. 3 Chinchillas, 2 Guinea Pigs, and 6 dogs. I love all animals, no matter how big or small. I have a Bachelors in pre-health from WCU and am aspiring to attend Nursing school soon! I am currently saving up for nursing school, so my schedule is completely free for feeding, fetching, and having fun with your fur babies! I was previously employed at Waggles, a pet store where I had the honor of taking care of over 30+ puppies. I have experience administering dewormer and vitamins to puppies as young as 8 weeks. I am extremely tidy. Any puppy parent knows they will eat anything on the floor within ten seconds. I give vitamins to my pug at dinner time, so I have experience with administering medication.
