Dog Walking Stokes

“Riley did AMAZING with my reactive dog!! Upon first meeting, he was a little hesitant. By the end, the two of them were BFFS! She was able to walk him alone and establish a great relationship with him! I am SO SO grateful for her!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and responsibility I bring to every visit. As a nursing and public health college student, I’m attentive, dependable, and trained to notice changes in behavior, energy, or routine which is especially important for puppies and senior pets. I have dogs of my own, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’m comfortable with puppy potty schedules, basic leash manners, and giving extra patience and attention to older pets who may need slower walks or more frequent check-ins. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. While I balance classes and two part-time jobs, my schedule is very flexible, and my classes are only a small portion of my day. This allows me plenty of time to plan walks and drop-in visits without rushing. I’m able to give dogs of all ages the attentive, reliable care they deserve, whether that’s an energetic walk or a calm check-in for senior pets. I follow each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide walks, potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and lots of attention while respecting your home. I adjust care based on your pet’s age, energy level, and needs, and I always make sure they’re safe and happy.

“Stephen is a fabulous resource. He met our dogs and they fell in love with him and his family. Thank you so much Stephen for your awesomeness.”

“I had Maliyah and Gabriel take care of my dog for four days (three walks a day), and honestly, they were just really solid people. They were always on time, kept everything consistent, and you could tell they weren’t just rushing through it. My dog can be a little particular with new people, but she clicked with them right away, which says a lot. Every time they came by, she seemed genuinely excited to see them. They made sure she was fed on time, took her on actual walks (not just quick bathroom breaks), and even stuck around a little longer to spend time with her. That part meant a lot to me, it didn’t feel like they were just checking a box. Overall, it just felt easy and stress-free knowing she was in good hands. I’d 100% reach out to Maliyah and Gabriel again.”

About: I have two fur babies who are my whole world. I’ve dealt with extensive health issues with my girls that have equipped me to handle any range of crisis with care and compassion. I love animals with my whole heart. Trusting me with your babies means they will be loved and taken care of until they get to reunite with you! I’m currently a student so I have a lot of time to spend with your furry friends! My animals are my world and I know that if you’re reaching out to me, yours are your world also! This means they will receive the same attention and prioritization that my own girls get in daily life. I want to work with you to determine how to take care of your babies. Each dog is unique so I take a specialized approach to make sure that yours gets the attention they deserve! I have a reactive dog at home, as well as experience with a wide range of medical issues, so I’m equipped for special circumstances with dogs.

About: I have worked with animals all my life with all kinds of animals. I love to be around them. I am also going to nc state studying in animal science. I am currently going through some health things which makes it hard for me to works so I want to be around animals. I can walk and take care of of the animals anytime of the day. I have dogs,cats, and more animals that I take care of at home which I let outside, feed, and clean cages. I will show the animals love and make sure they have what they need.

“She’s great!! She came and met my dog before the walk date for free and was so sweet. My very nervous/ skittish dog loved her immediately. She sent lots of pictures and did a great job. 10/10 recommend”

About: I am from Colombia and there I had the opportunity to work with him, in a family veterinarian where I learned a lot. Here in the United States I have been taking care of dogs and cats at home several times. It is important, since animals are part of my life and always will be, I also dream of one day having the money to be able to give a good life to several animals that currently live in a shelter. I keep them company, I sing to them, I play with them, I walk them, when they sleep in my house I always make them comfortable and I am aware of all their behavior, especially because I know they miss their owners.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just some extra love and cuddles, I always focus on making pups feel safe, happy, and understood. I’m confident with senior dogs and those needing special attention. Their comfort is always my priority. i’m a college student home for the summer, so I’m available to care for your pets! I can provide daily walks, check-ins, or extended care tailored to your needs. I ensure pets are safe and comfortable, whether at my place or yours. With years of experience, I create a secure, loving environment where pets can thrive

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 14 years old! I have experience with pets of all ages (from month old puppies to elderly pets). I started out my pet care with multi-day full time stays and have performed week-long stays before with pets. I enjoy working with pets of all sizes, small all the way to extra large. I work part-time at Dunkin as my main source of income. Unfortunately, my schedule for work is often given to me with short notice so it is hard to know what days I do/don’t work. I do generally work 7:00am to 12:00-12:30pm as a general frame of reference. While I do not do housing of any kind, I have experience staying full time in another’s house while they are away. I can feed and walk anyone’s pets the way they instruct and will provide any form of check-in needed for the owner to be comfortable (pictures, videos, extensive verbal updates, calls, etc.).

“Rachel took such wonderful care of our girl! ❤️”

About: Pets are the absolute best. I’ve been a dog lover my whole life. I grew up with dogs, watched my neighbors dogs and have 2 dogs of my own. As a school teacher, I'm off for the summer, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve! Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their normal routine, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you're away. I know how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your beloved pet. I'll always treat your home with respect and care for your pet as if they were my own. I'll follow your pet's feeding, walking, medication, and potty routines, and I'll send photo updates after each visit so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and stress-free in their familiar environment.

About: I have been bringing home and taking in animals ever since 2010 when I was in 5th grade. I have always put a lot of time, patience, love, sweat and money into my own animals. I try to give my babies the best quality of life that I can provide and I intend to do the same while yours are in my care! I have a tremendous amount of love & respect for all animals. I also have a lot of experience with multiple different breeds because I've had numerous dogs, a cat & a leopard gecko. Some duties I can help assist with include potty training, walking, teaching training commands & any senior/special needs care. If needed I can administer oral liquid medications, as well as pills and I can change diapers too. I am a stay at home dog mommy and I run a small business as well. So I generally have a lot of time, love & space to offer at my house throughout the week for guests. I'd love to take care of your babies or walk them to help you out with your busy schedule! !!!NEW DAYCARE INQUIRIES PLEASE READ!!! :) DUE TO HIGH VOLUME OF CLIENTS IVE HAD TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO MY DAYCARE HOURS THEY ARE NOW FROM 8AM-8PM. **My base rate of $35/day ensures your baby with up to 12 hours per day in my care!

“Kiley was a lifesaver for us! Our usual dog sitter/walker couldn’t assist us and I was able to book Kiley on short notice. She went to our home and took exceptional care of our 7 month old Yorkie, Dash! I can’t say enough about how great she was with him. We received updates and photos which we were grateful for. Thank you Kiley! We look forward to booking you again soon. -John and Brianna”

About: I am knowledgeable with expressing anal glands on your dog when they become clogged and uncomfortable for your four legged friend. No dog breed or size is too much for me to handle. I am currently a graduate student at ECU with breaks between classes to ensure that your dog gets the bathroom break and exercise they deserve. I prefer to use a two leash system when walking a dog, a practice I picked up from my days as a volunteer dog walker at a no-kill shelter. This way, I can ensure your dog never leaves my side if they manage to slip out of their collar.

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have two Labs and a Cocker Spaniel, so I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I've also stayed at multiple families' homes to care for their dogs while they were away, so I'm experienced with keeping pets comfortable in their own environment. My Cocker Spaniel takes daily medication for stomach issues, so I'm confident giving medications and following care routines. Whether it's going on walks, playing outside, or just keeping your dog company, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I’m currently home from college for the summer and only work 1–2 days a week as a lifeguard, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to work around their routine! When caring for pets in your home, I always follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. I'll make sure they're fed on schedule, taken outside regularly, and get one or two walks a day if that's part of their routine. If your dog sleeps in a crate, I'll make sure they're comfortably settled in at bedtime, or I'll leave them out if that's what they're used to. Every pet is different, so I always follow your instructions to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away.

About: Hi!! I am a rising sophomore at ECU and my family and I just moved to Garner from New York. I am looking for dog care jobs over my summer break so I am available all day every day until I go back to school. I am a morning person and like starting my days quite early so any of you need anything in the morning, I would love to help! I absolutely adore dogs and everything about them! Any time there is one in the room I am drawn to it and it gets my undivided love and attention. Most of my family and friends call me the dog whisperer because all dogs love me too! I have been sitting for a little over two years and have experience with all ages, sizes and breeds. I love being outside and active, and going on walks is one of my favorite things to do. I also don’t mind picking up after the dogs. (Someones gotta do it lol). My family has had 2 dogs of our own but both are no longer with us anymore. They were my built in best friends and most of the time I enjoyed their company over my family’s. I have so much free time on my hands that I can work with as many that I possibly can! I like being up early and don’t mind being out all day. I can keep your gates and doors locked while we are inside. Make sure the dog is always on a leash before opening a door for a walk.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule and can make time throughout the week to care for pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care depending on the owner’s needs. I enjoy spending time with animals, so I always make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I prioritize pet safety by following owner instructions, supervising pets closely, keeping environments secure, and providing gentle, attentive care while sending updates so owners feel confident.

Morgan is punctual and always there when she says she will be, Bottom line is Morgan is Wonderful with animals and Reliable!! If you are in need for her services I highly recommend her!!”

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life. I’m always grateful when family and friends rely on me to watch their pets. It’s wonderful to be able to be there for them. My day tends to rely on what my two dogs need at home. Pet care tends to plan my day for me. I’m home from college and am not working so I am almost always available for anything your pets may need! The pets I watch always have my full attention and are given anything they may need. I make an effort to prioritize their needs and wants.
