Dog Walkers in Timberlake, NC

About: I've raised dogs from the day they were born, and rescued them too. I've trained them - obedience and conformation - and worked with a variety of breeds. I've taken care of old dogs too, and understand the different needs between puppies and seniors. This is what I'm choosing to do for a living. My pets are part of my family, and I hope to treat yours with the same amount of care too. Whether it's a drop-in or a walk while you're at work, or watching them at your home while you're away, I look forward to giving your furry family members the care you want for them. My goal is to keep your pets comfortable and loved. If I'm house sitting, I would like to keep them to their normal schedule so they are the least disrupted by your absence. If I'm dropping in or walking them, then the goal is for them to be loved and cuddled and/or enjoy their exercise too. The goal is always happy, healthy, relaxed pets with a minimum of disruptions if their people can't be home.

“Banjo LOVES his afternoon walks with Ashley! She picks him up and takes him for a walk around the neighborhood. He gets his exercise and gets to check out the neighborhood. We love using Rover and Ashley while we're at work. She sends us photos from their walks and Banjo's excited face says it all!”

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 healthy 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. 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. All training habits are maintained so that the pets do not unlearn anything their humans have taught them.

“Fantastic!!! Excellent communication and I felt very comfortable working with her”

“Ashlee did a great job helping to wear out out dog during the day. She arrived when expected and always sent a picture from the walk. And she was flexible with the number and duration of the walks needed. I'll be happy to have her help out in the future.”

About: I have been a fur mom since I was about 12 years old and have experience with all kinds of pets, including reptiles, chickens, hamsters, Guinea pigs, birds, & chinchillas. I also use to work at a pet store doing pet care which involved lots of handling, cleaning and keeping a healthy environment for the animals. I am currently self employed and I make my own schedule so I am flexible with my availability. Mondays and Thursday are more flexible but I have time on the other days of the week as well. I’m clients homes I would give your pets the attention and lovin’ that they need and make sure that they are always safe. I will keep clean after them and make sure that they are cared for as if they were my own.

About: Just finished medical school at Duke and looking to earn some extra money and hang out with some pups before I move to start my career as an emergency medicine doctor. Dogs are my absolute passion and I have raised and trained both of my dogs from 6-weeks old by myself. Safety is always my main priority! Additionally, I am active and familiar with all the local parks, Eno River trails, and dog-walking spots. I have no other responsibilities currently so can dedicate 100% of my time and energy to your dog's care and wellbeing. My goal with pet sitting is to allow your dog to keep their usual routine and keep them comfortable while you are away! I am ready to dedicate my time and energy to your pup's personal schedule! I understand that dog's are routine-loving animals and am happy to adjust my routine to fit what they know. As I just graduated medical school, I currently have no other commitments and can be with your dogs full-time if that's what they need. I also have the availability to do walks or pop-in visits at any time of day with no restrictions. With two dogs of my own, it is not feasible for me to care for dogs in my own home. However, because my husband works from home, I am free to travel to care for other dogs. I have house sitting experience and know how to be a respectful caretaker of both pets and home.

About: Im am the proud owner of two fur babies. My oldest cat is 11 years old, I've had him since he was 4 months old. I believe he chose me. I adopted him when i was going through a personal lost and he brought me so much joy. My second fur baby was adopted at 2 months old when her mom abandoned her, as she assumed she would never make it in the world but my sweet girl is now 4 years old and thriving. I stand out from other pet sitters because not only have a had cats for years but with my family & I have had fish, turtles, doves, parakeets, dogs( Great Dane, Terrier, chihuahua), and a Guinea pig. I believe it gives me a variety of experience above a-lot of others. My pets have been in my family for their entire lives and I believe pets are truly apart of the family and should be adored as such! I am awoken daily by my two lovely cats. I start my day by opening the blinds and curtains so my babies can sun bathe. Then i head to the bathroom the clean their litter box. Next comes their feedings. My cats are what you can considered spoiled lol. they have a filtered water fountain, and two different food bowls EACH (one for dry food and one for wet). My day begins and ends with checking on them. I don't not have a fenced in yard because I live in an apartment, but we have designated restroom areas for pets. So, I will need a harness/leash to take them out. I allow my pets on my furniture so your pets would be allowed on my furniture as well.

About: I grew up having a dog and a cat (plus a rabbit, fish, hamster, gerbils, and a guinea pig)! I always had a love for animals. During my young adult years I housesat for multiple different families. When I had young children, I continued to do drop in visits and we had dogs come stay with us. As a homeschool mom, I have plenty of time in my day to come visit with your pet! I look forward to serving in Person County since we recently moved to the area! We are able to board now that we have moved into our new house. We prefer non shedding dogs. We prefer to take one dog at a time but depending on the situation, we may be open to taking two. Your dog must get along with other dogs. We have a 4 year old female goldendoodle. She has gotten along with every dog we have watched thus far. Your dog must also be friendly with kids. We have an 8 year old and 12 year old who love dogs! We require you to bring your dog for a meet and greet before boarding to make sure it is a safe environment for all of us! Thank you for understanding! I'm currently a stay at home mom that is homeschooling my two children. We have plenty of time in our day to spend time with your pet! We love the pets in our care as if they were our own! We have a 4 year old female goldendoodle that would love to play with your pet!

“Jasmine did a great job with a first visit (walking) with our 45lb pit/lab mix, Hazel. She was responsive, timely, and great with communication. Looking forward to next time!”

About: My lifelong love for animals began on our family farm, where I gained hands on experience caring for a variety of animals. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of being a pet parent to horses, dogs, cats, and birds. I understand that every animal is unique and strive to meet them where they are, offering compassionate, personalized care. I’m employed full time in Higher Education, but work remotely as a regional recruiter. My schedule is flexible and allows me to be accessible at unique times during a traditional work week. I have 3 cats, all at different life stages. They are my absolute joys. Being able to work remotely and be attentive to their needs is a privilege that I’m forever grateful for.

“Charlotte was wonderful with Nellie, our 2 year old, 75 lbs, female German Shepherd. Nellie can be timid with people but was instantly comfortable with Charlotte. Charlotte has a calm demeanor and is very experienced with big and small dogs. We were very happy to have Charlotte walk Nellie and highly recommend her.”

“Thank you so much, great service, Rocco got a great walking distance and a lot of outside time.”

About: I've had animals ever since I can remember. Big, small, smaller, just about anything you can think of I've had. I take pride in making sure all animals around me are happy and cared for. I can care for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and any small animal from hamsters to bunnies. I'm currently searching for a part-time job, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your animals. I love to be around animals, more than people. So, I've got time to take long walks and excellent care of all your animals. I always take my pups out on a leash. They are trained to go into their crates when we leave. All of my animals get plenty of exercise, lots of toys, and all my love. I can assure you I'll take extra special care of your animals, just like I do mine.

“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: Hi there! I’d love to welcome your pup into my home. I have a backyard that’s perfect for playtime, and my sweet dog Lucy is always excited to meet new friends. Since I work from home, I’m around all day to give plenty of love, attention, and care—whether your dog wants to run and play or just snuggle up and relax. I know how stressful it can be to be out of town and concerned about your pet! I’ll make sure you feel at ease leaving your pup here and love them as my own! Because I work from home, I am able to be with your dog all day. They’ll always have company, attention, and care throughout their stay. Pets are always taken care of in our care. We will love on them and make sure they feel at home! And you, as owner, feel comfortable with us keeping your pet as well!
