Dog Walkers in Townsville, NC

About: I have always cared for animals both in my family as well as with friends and neighbors for approximately 13 years. I am an NC State graduate with a B.S. in Animal Science with a lot of knowledge to bring including the best ways to care for your animal, ensure their safety, and even train new commands. Not only can I care for dogs and cats, but I can also care for rodents, birds, reptiles, etc. During the summer I will be mostly available during the week. I am currently a full time master’s student and will be able to fit pet care into my schedule both during the week and on the weekends. I do work most afternoons beginning at 2:30 pm but times are adjustable. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am an active person in a very safe neighborhood in Raleigh making neighborhood walks super easy. Walks will be easy to take and I will ensure both indoor and outdoor playtime. I do have roommates but they also love animals and work during the day most days.

About: I’m a pet mom of six full grown cats and two dogs. i’ve had them their entire lives. I rescued one of my cats from a ditch in a parking lot. I work early mornings so that I am available afternoons and evenings any day of the week. I am often in Wake Forest, Raleigh, Durham and Hillsborough. I have a fenced front and back yard so our pets just go out there to pee or poop. We feed our dogs and cats two times a day.

About: I’ve taken care of family dogs my whole life and I have over a 2 years experience in a dog kennel so I am very familiar with any breeds/issues you could think of. I have experience in basic care, feeding, bath/nails. Currently I’m working with animals full-time so luckily I have a pretty open schedule for any fun ! I also have a pup of my own if yours is ever looking for a play date. For each individual dog I will meet their own personal needs because every dog is different. I really just conform to the dog’s personality and what would make the best experience for them.

About: Hi My name is Maryssa and I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 10 or 11 years old . I really wish I could adopt every dog I see haha , but I do have Three dogs of my own two chihuahuas, and one Maltese. Neighbors , family , and friends all come to me when they need a reliable and dependable person to watch their pets . My schedule is pretty much open availability at the moment , but I do ask when booking that you are on time and if you are running behind there needs to be communication . If you are more than 45 minutes late Dropping your pet off we will need to reschedule for another time . I don’t have a fence at my home but I personally walk my dogs on a leash, or harness . My animals are pet friendly so your fur babies will be kept company .

“Olivia was very prompt in her response and acceptance of this walk in my time of need. She really helped us out when we needed her most and we got constant pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of pet care!”

About: I have raised many different types of dogs for 15+ years. For the last 5 years, I have housed many different animals in need. I have trained puppies, as well as nervous, and abused dogs. I make sure my home is a very welcome environment for animals of all kinds. Like my husband likes to say, I want a petting zoo in life. I currently work part-time in a pawn shop and full time mom to an adorable little toddler. We love being able to be around and care for animals as much as we can. I go on holidays maybe once or twice a year so I’m always around willing to help train or even just be a companion to your furry friend while you’re away I have an open yard with plenty of space to run around. I also have crates within the house just in case they need to be crated too. I have 3 adult dogs that roam free and are very friendly, as well as 3 puppies, and a 2 cats inside my house as well too. But it’s very rare my cats will come out during the day if I’m housing a dog inside.

About: Hey! I am Chassidy, I just recently graduated from East Carolina with a degree in biology and minor is business. I absolutely love animals and have had multiple, ranging from snakes to dogs! I will work with any animals for the most part and will be glad to learn how to care for a new one! Over the past 8 years I have been pet sitting for multiple families and absolutely enjoy it! Pet sitting allows me to maintain a job while not interfering with my education! I am beyond excited to work for new families and meet your sweet fur babies! I have a pretty flexible schedule and always eager to work! I hope I can care for your pets! Working part-time allows me to incorporate pet sitting/ walking into mu daily schedule. I can flexible in trying to make it work for the owner and myself at all times. If the pet is boarding in my home, I will modify whatever necessary to make the pet as at home as possible. I want your pets to be comfortable and at ease. If I am house sitting for the client, I will attempt to keep the pets routine the exact same as if the owner never left.

About: I’ve raised and taken care of dogs all my life. I own two dogs of my own. Both are very friendly to other dogs and people. I take my dogs out every 3-4 hours, usually whenever I come home between classes. I also walk my dogs when needed, as well as, feed them once a day. I always make sure the dog is loved and happy. I take time to play with them and give them pets. I also make sure they have food, water, and anything else they may need. I have given dogs medication before, so that will not be too difficult for me.

About: Ever since I was a child, I have been mildly obsessed with animals (insert mental image of a little kid with horses all over her bright pink shirt and a stuffed Bernes Mountain dog glued to her side). At the time, my parents were strongly against having pets. I was deeply offended by this decision, and did not understand their hands were already full with five "animals:" my four siblings and me. Eight year old Kat knew she needed to get creative and outsource her time with animals. That's when I began working on a horse farm. I spent most days cleaning stalls, feeding horses and playing with the barn cats. This was my happy place, my home away from home. It was at this time I also began dog sitting for various families throughout our neighborhood. Although I think I was more of an annoyance to the first dog I looked after (sorry Ginger), I learned to be responsible and dependable. When I moved away to college, I looked for a new way to spend time with animals and began volunteering at a local shelter. Through the shelter, I began fostering cats and dogs, gained experience feeding newborn kittens, leash training large dogs and giving medications to senior pets. I loved learning each individual's personality and finding new ways to build playful and loving relationships based on trust. I later worked as a receptionist for a fear-free veterinary clinic and was exposed to pets of all dispositions and backgrounds. I am comfortable caring for pets with various illnesses, allergies, parasites and high anxiety. TLDR: I am a long time animal lover, with over 15 years of experience working/volunteering on farms and petsitting. I am confident around animals of any age, whether hoofed, clawed, scaled or winged! I am not easily grossed out by a snotty nose, or the occasional poopy bottom and will meet your pets energy wherever they need to be met. Whether you are looking for someone to walk your jumpy puppy or be a calm companion for your shy old cat, I am a great fit! PS: Now I know you are wondering, “ But Kat, did you ever get your own dogs?” and the answer is YES! I grew up with two Westie puppies and, several years later, welcomed Kody, our rescue german shepherd/husky mix to the family. (Pictures included) I am currently working a part time job (three 8hr shifts a week) which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and accommodate a wide range of pet needs. I am available to provide house sitting for an additional fee or make multiple visits per day as needed. I enjoy driving which allows for consistent, attentive care tailored to each pet. Every pet parent has a different routine when it comes to caring for their pet. It is my job as the sitter to adhere as closely to this routine as possible. It can be scary having new people in your home (especially when your parents are away), and maintaining a known schedule is extremely beneficial for reducing your pet's anxiety . I also believe in clear, consistent communication with my clients, so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands and enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.
