Dog Walkers in Stony Fork, NC

“My puppies are so happy and chill after their walks with Alexis. Alexis sends me the route, distance, and a pic. Pups like her so much they wait for her on her days off! So glad I did this for us.”

“I am so glad to have chosen Savanah to walk my precious girl, Scout, while I’m at work. She gives thorough and thoughtful updates and gets amazing photos of my happy girl. Savanah is so sweet and you can tell she really cares. She is reliable and a great communicator. She did everything I requested and was sure to confirm she did so at each visit. Scout was extra playful and happy everyday after Savanah’s visits!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities — including my own doodles.

Whether your pup needs a quick stroll or overnight care, you can count on me to treat them like family. I have the flexibility to build my day around your pet’s needs for potty breaks, walks, playtime, or cuddles throughout the day. Mornings, afternoons, evenings — I’m available to match your pet’s routine, whether that’s a quick midday drop-in, a long walk, or staying overnight for full companionship. Your pet won’t have to wait long for attention — I’ll be right there to give them the care, love, and exercise they deserve. When I come to your home, my goal is to keep your pets happy, safe, and stress-free by sticking to their usual routine. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of love, playtime, and potty breaks. For cats, I’ll refresh litter boxes and give them attention (or space!) depending on their personality. If your pet needs medication, extra walks, or just a little more TLC, I’m comfortable handling it all. I’ll also send you updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family is being cared for just like they would be if you were home. I treat every pet like my own, with patience, affection, and respect for their unique needs. Your pets — and your home — will always be in good hands with me. 💜

About: Hi! I’m a 19-year-old college student and lifelong animal lover. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young. Friends, neighbors, and family regularly trust me to pet sit, walk, feed, and play with their pets. I have a 10-month-old mini long-haired dachshund named Tucker, so I understand puppy energy, training consistency, and daily routines. I’m very active and outgoing, and I love being outdoors, going on walks, and staying active, which makes me a great fit for energetic dogs! I’m responsible, dependable, and will treat your pet like my own. Whether your dog needs playtime, cuddles, exercise, or calm companionship, I’m happy to provide a safe and loving environment. I’m currently a college student with one in-person class on Thursdays and the rest of my coursework online, which gives me a flexible schedule. I also work part-time at Abercrombie & Fitch, but I plan my shifts in advance and have plenty of time throughout the week for pet care. I’m available for drop-ins, walks. Because I’m active and enjoy being outdoors, I love fitting walks and playtime into my daily routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep routines consistent, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and medication (if needed). I make sure pets are supervised, secure on walks, and comfortable in a clean, calm environment. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I treat every dog like my own and focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free experience.

“Alexis was absolutely fantastic with Lula! Lula clearly had a great time with her. Had a great walk, play time and just spent time with her. From the moment she stepped into my apartment, Lula instantly took to her. I also have two cats who warned right up to her as well. Would never be able to recommend her enough to anyone who needs a pet sitter/walker.”

About: My past experience with dogs is lots of walking,hiking and playing. Most of my care taking has been either in my home or the dog owners. I frequently care for my past neighbors animals, chickens, cat and dog. Other dog sitting I have done has been for friends. I live within 15 to 20 minutes north of Asheville on a beautiful couple of acres that are fenced in. I am very caring so I love to show my affection towards animals and people. My space is clean, quiet and cozy. I would be different from other sitters because of my flexible schedule, my nurturing spirit and my impeccable references. Also I love hiking so the dog would be my hiking buddy! I am willing to negotiate price depending on location and situation.

“Chloe is just a natural with dogs. She was very comfortable on her first walk with Minnie, it seemed like he has met Minnie many times. She handled everything like a pro.”

“My dog has a lot of separation anxiety, and Kristen was amazing with her. The communication, photos, and updates made such a difference, and I felt completely at ease knowing Rosie and Pete were loved and cared for. They’re my babies, and I’m so thankful to have found someone who understands that. Thank you!”

About: I have taken care of all different types of pets since I was a child. I have raised dogs, cats, chickens, opossums, turtles, etc. This included walking, feeding, bathing, changing out liter, cleaning a chicken coop, baby opossum care. I have experience with both puppies/kittens and older dogs/cats. I recently lived with my college roommate for three years she had a poodle named Groot that I helped her raise from a puppy. He had a very sensitive stomach so he was on a special diet and prebiotics. She had a very busy schedule and often times had to go out of town. So, I helped take care of him. This included feeding, potty breaks, and hikes for exercise. I am a very proud dog aunt! I recently moved to Ocean Springs and I am excited to be able to create bonds with the animals and owners in my new community. I am currently working part-time remotely so I have a very open schedule. Especially during the weekday and most of the time on weekends. I want to use this as an opportunity to create a weekly schedule that gets me out of my house and off the computer. Also the joy of getting to hang out with pets. A meet and greet is a must for me. I always want a new meeting between you, me and your pet to be one that sets us up for success. Every pet is different. I want to use the meeting as a way to learn their uniqueness and get them comfortable with me.

“Cassie is a godsend, she is dependable, trustworthy, and has gotten to know my dog and his temperatment very quickly. I couldn't be more pleased and am so thankful I found her!”

About: Hello! Lots of pet care experience, mainly cats and some dogs, along with smaller animals including gerbils, hamsters etc. Never was allowed to have a cat or dog growing up due to allergies in the family but always took the opportunity to care for pets whenever I could to get an excuse to hang out with doggies or kitties. I love spending time with animals and I appreciate all their unique attributes and what they mean to their humans, and I always make sure to do the job right and that the animals are cared for according to all instructions and specific preferences/needs. With me, your furry (or not) friends are in good hands! I'm available on a flexible basis and it's best to touch base to see about availability in days or weeks to come. Thanks for reading!
