Dog Walkers in Tobaccoville, NC

“Pleasure!”

“Dinira was absolutely wonderful with our big puppy, Atlas!! During our meet and greet she was kind and Atlas loved her right away. It’s always anxiety provoking to leave your 80 pound puppy with a new face - but Dinira put us right at ease. She took Atlas for a walk, played with him, and sent lots of pictures!! She was truly the best.”

“Sierra is the best! She sends the best pupdates and is always on time for walks. My pup Koda loves her and has finally nailed down fetch and sit due to her guidance.”

“Alex is great!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was very young. I used to work at a vet hospital and trained my yellow lab myself. I graduated from NC State in May and I am back in Winston nannying and dog sitting while searching for a new job :) Please let me know how I can be of service to you! I live in a nice neighborhood with a backyard. I am right by three major parks where I take my dog to where she can run and play around.

“Alyssa is a true dog lover. From her own dog to others, she has compassion, patience and understanding with them. She is punctual and will love them like her own. I would definitely choose Alyssa again and again to be with my Rottweiler Penelope. Definitely would recommend 👍”

“Nicole has supported our family with caring for our two dogs. Thunder who is about 115 lbs, and Sav who is about 50 lbs. They love her, and I trust her in my home and with my dogs. She is so calm with them, and they both love her. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a kind and calm caregiver for your animals.”

The suite is pup-proofed; comfy; clean and all their’s to enjoy. (A duplex-like home setup). I typically sleep with my pup guests in their King bedroom.

Never would your dog’s comfort and health not be my top priority. In inclement weather, we would take a potty walk with large umbrella or I go down in the backyard yard with them to do their business. Once back inside; I towel dry them from paw-to-pout to dry off and warm up. When particularly cold/rainy I use straight from the dryer super warm towels. SECURITY & SAFETY SETUP: I keep my 2 dogs separated on the second side of the home (duplex setup). Your dog(s) will have their own space that is supervised, separated and safe both indoors & outdoors. - Safety and security are my top priority and the pup accommodations are setup in kind. I look forward to accommodating your dog’s schedule; personal needs and likes. I welcome all breeds; sizes; ages and special needs. EXPERIENCE: I’ve fostered dogs all my life. I was a foster parent for the BTRNC (Boston Terrier Rescue of North Carolina). I adopted 1 of my fosters ( Isabel “Izzy” in profile pics) and stay in contact with all my fosters and their forever families. I’m an active and passionate supporter and volunteer of our local shelter; AARF and other local rescue groups and pet charities. I’ve fostered; adopted and owned amazing companions who have given meaning and love to my life. It is now just me and my 2 adopted boys. Dog #1: “Drexl” Drexl and I have been together since he was a little pup in 2017. His birth Dad was 100% American Staffordshire. His birth Mom was 50% Greyhound and 50% Basset Hound. Drexl is a social; smart; sensitive and loving boy. Note Drexl does have a loud bark that can be off-putting at first meeting. It’s just his nature (the basset hound in him) to bark when other dogs in the neighborhood pass or people come to the door. He doesn’t bark at length, but will greet visitors with a bellowing bark from his side of home. Dog #2: “Blue” Nicknames “Bluetiful” “Mr Blue” I rescued/adopted Blue from the local county animal shelter in 2020. He was malnourished and severely underweight. In short time, Blue began living his best life. Blue is a simple, chill and loving boy. His turn on’s are shortlisted: car rides; human attention; food (string cheese is his fav treat); and “getting under” the covers with Mom (day or night, Blue will cuddle up as close to me as he can. He is sweet and low energy. Blue doesn’t bark and leaves his brother to be the “window watcher.”. I live alone and work close to home, so care and attention throughout the day is what your dog(s) will receive. I would not require a crate unless your dog prefers and owner provides. I have installed 36” high wall secured dog gates @ all 3 rooms. This is to accommodate parents that have more than 1 dog and need separation for feeding or when left alone. I remove the gates when no siblings ie only dog child. PLEASE REACH OUT WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR TO SCHEDULE A MEET N GREET ❤️🦮❤️ I work from home, so my days are spent with my guest dogs. The pup guest’s comfort; fun & feeling of freedom and belonging is my top priority. -If they love walks; we take the wooded trail beside my house to pond @ SECCA. -If they love car rides; I’ll take them with me for quick errands or drive thru lunch pickup. -If they love fetch/toy time; I have tons of tennis balls and Kong toys for play inside & outside. -For the day nappers, my bed and furniture (and large dog beds) are ALL THERE’s to enjoy. I will always respect and follow owner’s directions for dog(s) needs; care; likes and routine. The PRIVATE PUP SUITE is safe; clean; quiet; and comfy. + Nature walking trail and large fully fenced yard.

About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs for friends, family, and neighbors! I have walked, played with, fed, and bathed plenty of animals! I have always been surrounded by dogs and cats because I had a total of 7 growing up at one point! I am currently a college student off for the summer and I would love nothing more to spend my days with sweet fur babies! I have a very flexible schedule and can take care of them any day of the week at any time! I live on a farm so there is plenty of grass for them to run in as well as a fenced in area with two very friendly dogs that they can play with. I also have a large crate that they can stay in if needed.

About: I have raised dogs of my own for 16 years and have cared for the dogs of others, from golden retrievers to yorkies, for 8 years. I know doggy Heimlich, which I have successfully performed twice and CPR, which I have thankfully never been in a situation that required it. I currently have one very friendly and playful dog of small-medium size that would love to run around and take walks with yours. If a doggy playdate is not what you want, I am happy to keep your pup entertained with toys and walks without the company of my pupper. You can expect your furry babies to receive the love and care that I give my own. I am a disabled veteran that has pretty much all the time in the world for playing with animals. I try to go for a long walk with my dog at least 5 times a week as it is. Taco is very well trained. He is off leash for our walks and has excellent recall. He does well with diffusing aggressive dogs as well. I take dogs on walks on routes I have already familiarized myself with and I always ensure there are no hazards for any pets.

“Ellie did a great job walking my guy while I was away on vacation for a week. Returned to a very happy dog!”

“Emily would be a great pet sitter! She loves animals and has a caring loving heart for them and their owners. She would treat them as her own with loving care.”

About: I have worked in pet care since I was 12 I started out walking my neighbors dogs and I have done dog sitting ever since. I have always had a passion and love for pets. I have had 4 dogs and 3 cats in my lifetime! I’m a preschooler teacher so I only work half days. From 830 to 1230! That opens my availability to be with your fur babies more than people who have full time jobs! I care for pets by loving on them, walking them/ potty breaks, feeding, water, and whatever other special instructions the clients may leave me !

About: Hello😊 I am a huge cat enthusiast as I have 6 cats of my own ranging from 1 year - 21 years old. I also have a 14 year old Yorkie who was diagnosed with breast cancer and cushings disease. I have plenty of experience administering medications to both dogs and cats. Pills, capsules and insulin! I am a pet groomer so I am familiar with just about every breed of dog 😊 I am also familiar with pocket pets, I have previously owned hamsters, rabbits and a hedgehog and have cared for scaley critters as well! I strive to offer affordable and reliable pet care for those who need it. Having 7 pets of my own, 3 of which are on meds, I quickly learned that going out of town even if just for an overnight trip, getting care for them is costly. I think having breaks from our furry friends is something we should all be able to do without our pockets hurting.😸🐶💜 I have previously worked at pet boarding facilities as well so caring for pets is something that comes naturally to me! I work from home full time and groom for a mobile pet grooming business on Mondays. I am available for drop in visits Tuesday-Sunday with limited Monday availability. Walks can also be offered Tuesday-Sunday. And since I am a pet groomer I can also offer those services while you're away if you're interested, I've been grooming since 2017 certified through Cleveland Grooming Academy 😁 I will care for your babies like they are my own! I know how important it is to find someone loving and caring to tend to your pets while you are away. Having that peace of mind that you have a great per sitter is vital!

“Hailey is wonderful with our dog and kitties. They loved her. We would love to have her sit for us again. She was attentive and caring. Thank you, Hailey. We would love to have you sit again!!”

“Javaughn has been a pet lover from the time I met him and that’s when we were teenagers, he wanted to be a pet groomer and he’s still trying to work towards that goal. He’s loving and caring , he’s very compassionate about what he’s doing , I definitely recommend him”

“She was excellent with Jax’s and made sure to update me on everything she was doing and took greats pics which reassured me that he was okay while I was away thank you again for taking care of my boy”

“Mailynn is one of the most responsible people I have ever met. While caring for your animals, she will go above and beyond to care for their needs like your pets were her own. You would never have to worry about something not being done because she will make sure it is.”
