Dog Walkers in Straits, NC

“Amazing. Bohdan really helped our family out as we had a family member (who was our pet caregiver) fall the day before we had to leave town. He went above and beyond in so many ways! Thank you Bohdan and family.”

“Christine has been faithfully walking my girls twice a week for several months. She is reliable, kind and very attentive to my babies. My situation has changed and at this time I can no longer continue with ROVER. This is in no way a reflection of Christine. She has been like a God-mother to Shelby and Molly Shanna and they will miss her terribly.”

About: I am a passionate animal lover and have been for my entire life. I love all animals and have chosen to pursue a career as a zookeeper. I graduated from college with an Associates Degree in Zoo Science and Technology. After graduating I worked for Petco for almost 2 years. I am now currently working for Petsmart and have been for almost 2 and half years. So I have extensive knowledge and experience with both domestic and exotic animals. I have been my childhood neighbors dog sitter for the past 10 years and have been a petsitter for multiple other people including co-workers. I even have experience with small animals such as hamsters and reptiles. I treat all pets as if they are my own and would love the chance to care for yours! I am currently working part-time at Petsmart and work at least five days a week. I work mostly mornings so my afternoons are usually free! I cannot offer to watch your pet at my home, as I am renting; however, I am very comfortable visiting your home to care for your pet! I have previous experience watching pets within their homes and even have experience staying over night.

About: We’ve been dog sitting for family and friends over the past 10 years. Enjoy walking, playing and relaxing with them. Great with puppies to senior dogs. We are big dog lovers, flexible with our schedule and can certainly work with your dog’s schedule. Being with your dog is our top priority. Our yard is fenced in and our home is dog friendly. We prefer them to be around us whether it’s out in the yard or in the kitchen washing the dishes. In your home, is per your instructions.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with dogs of all ages and breeds. Growing up surrounded by pets has taught me how to understand their unique needs, whether it’s providing gentle care for senior dogs or keeping up with the energy and training needs of puppies. I just graduated college so right now I have completely open availability! I’m available during both weekdays and weekends to care for pets, including boarding. This flexible schedule lets me give animals the time, attention, and love they deserve every day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, needs, and schedule, whether that’s feeding, playtime, walks, or quiet companionship. I also give regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away!

About: Walks, runs and playtime fun! Here to help whether it's because your busy at work or leaving town. I have the flexibility to give your pets multiple bathroom breaks, walks, or what ever else is needed. Contact me even if you have questions! Plant watering and mail gathering for out of town trips included... Just let me know what your needs are and we can schedule times accordingly. Im available through out the day, 7 days a week. I prefer Havelock clients for in house sitter jobs. If you need a lot of check ins I would rather keep your fur baby at my house, to avoid charging more for gas. I care for pets in their homes based on the guidelines the owners set out. I will always check their food and water bowls, walk or play outside and bathroom break.

About: I have had all kinds of animals throughout my life... cats, dogs, fish, etc. I currently have a miniature schnauzer and an Australian labradoodle puppy. I also have experience with elderly animals and can give injections as well as administer oral medications. I am a lover of all animals! I recently rehabed a baby squirrel that was struck by lightening. It was so rewarding when I was able to release him back into the wild! Before moving to my current location I volunteered with the ‘Cats about town’ program. Cats about town is a trap, neuter/spay, release program to help control the feral cat population in town. I assisted with trapping and also feeding after their release. I am dependable and punctual and you can trust that I will take the best care of your babies! My schedule/availability varies. I try to keep my calendar up to date but please message me to see if I can help you with your pet. I will be glad to do whatever is needed to care for your pet. Play visits, potty breaks, medicine administration, feeding, bathing, etc. Also willing to take your pet to the park, beach, vet, etc. I hope to make your life easier and your pets happy!

About: Hi, I'm Lauren! I have done pet sitting and dog walking for my neighbors and friends since I was 10 years old, including high energy puppies and an elderly, blind dog in particular. I'm currently home from college for the summer and would love to take care of your pups! I have a big family so someone is always available to take your pet on walks or have playtime. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your animals on weekdays and weekends. Plus, there is always a family member at home so your pets will never be left alone. I have one friendly labrador in the home who sleeps in her crate at night. I can easily crate your dog as well if needed. We do not have a fenced in yard, however, our home is in a perfect location for long walks away from traffic and games of tug in the yard.

About: For 30+ years, I shared my life with dogs, from wiggly puppies to gray‑muzzled seniors. My last two companions crossed the rainbow bridge only weeks apart after 15 wonderful years, caring for them through their golden years, which honed my skills with daily medication, injections, and gentle mobility support. I’m also a certified therapy‑dog handler. Together, Franco and I made rounds at retirement homes and hospice centers with a national organization called K9 Buddies. Whether it’s redirecting anxious energy, reinforcing good manners, or offering a soothing lap for snuggles, I tailor my approach to each dog’s unique quirks. Friends jokingly call me “the dog whisperer” because dogs gravitate to me for lots of hugs. From basic obedience refreshers to specialized medical routines, your pet will get knowledgeable, compassionate care as if they were my own. I am self-employed, have ample time to fit potty schedules, and ensure your dog is well cared for when you cannot be home. If desired, overnights and long-term care is a possibility. Your pets care will depend on your desires and their personality. I am happy to discuss specific needs, from medication to play and training. My goal is to allow you to leave your dog home with peace of mind, knowing you do not have to double-check or worry.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since 2005, I was once the go to pet sitter for multiple dogs, cats and even birds when I was working at the Neuse golf club in Clayton, nc. Was trusted to stay in the houses of each of the pets that I looked after. I now own my own dog and cat but would be happy to have another dog in our house for short term. I am currently free any day of the week, I got burned out from work and taking some time to figure out what I want to do for a career. Since I am not currently working, I am the main provider for feeding our cat and dog, walking our dog and just making sure they are happy

About: Hi, I’m Julie—a full-time high school English teacher with a lifelong love for animals and two grown children of my own. During the summer, I’m available full-time for pet sitting, and I offer limited availability during the school year. Over the years, I’ve regularly cared for my sister’s elderly dogs and two cats, and I was a proud dog mom myself for many years. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and well-loved while you’re away. I’m also an avid runner, so if your dog needs more than a leisurely stroll, I’d be happy to take them on longer walks or runs to burn off energy and stay healthy. Whether your furry friend needs a calm companion, a playful pal, or someone who knows how to scoop the litter box with grace—I’m your person! I’m dependable, communicative, and happy to follow any special routines your pet requires. Let’s chat and see how I can help! Since I am a teacher and my 2 boys are grown, I am almost always availabe during the summer months. I am available durng the school year on a more limited basis. I am out of school from June 6-August 15 (give or take a few days depending on the year). Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether I’m visiting your home or caring for pets in mine, I always follow your instructions closely and maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I make sure food, medications, and routines are followed exactly as requested, and I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs. I’m respectful of your space, keep communication open with regular updates and photos, and aim to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet!

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs ever since I was 12. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to watch over their little ones and make sure they have the time of their life’s!

About: -Personally, I have been caring for pets for 18 years. Pit mixes, reptiles, and felines. The first words most people would use to describe me would be "animal lover"! -Professionally, I have veterinary and animal handling experience. I worked as a Licensed Veterinary Technician Assistant between college and graduate school, which gave me experience with administering medication, pet safety,checking vital signs, soothing anxious pets, basic grooming, etc. I also spent two years in grad school walking dogs,boarding, and doing check-ins with "Wag!" which I thoroughly enjoyed! Professionally, I am a biologist and have a working knowledge of animal physiology -I have personally mothered and treated a Heartworm Positive dog, so I am well-versed in caring for a pup currently undergoing that! With my current seasonal position coming to an end, I expect to have a wide open schedule for the next few months. I am a pretty early riser, but can be flexible It is priority to make sure that your pet is as comfortable as possible while missing you! I choose to not use a crate with my dog, but can with yours if you prefer that. I'm very active and like to ensure that animals get as much activity and enrichment as they like. I am very big on sending lots of photos and video updates on your pet throughout the day!
