Dog Walking Vander

“So thankful for Mikayla. She was my first Rover booking and she made me feel very comfortable with the entire process. My dog loved her during our first meet and greet. Mikayla is a great communicator. She sent me fun pictures when she walked my doggie. Will definitely book again!”

About: Hi there! I'm Lillie, a proud Navy veteran who served for 4 years. Originally from Raleigh, I've made my way to Wilmington to pursue my studies at UNCW for environmental science. Alongside my passion for art, which I channel into my small business, my true love lies with dogs. I share my life with a wonderful 4 year-old German Shepherd mix and a 6 year old golden retriever, who are the lights of my life. With my experience, dedication, and genuine love for pets, I look forward to providing the best care for your furry friends. As I know everyone and every dog is different I will make sure I accommodate to any needs you have. ◡̈ Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine because I only have one online summer class, which gives me a flexible schedule. This allows me to be pretty open and available to take care of your pets, ensuring they get the attention and care they need at any time. At my client's home, I stick to their usual routine as much as possible. This includes walks, feeding times, and play sessions. I can also handle medications and grooming if needed. My flexible schedule means I can give your pets the attention and care they need, whether they're with me or at their own home.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little. Growing up we always had pets! I love animals and I have two dogs of my own. They are crate trained so I have no problem having them separate if necessary! If not, your babies will have some play mates! I am open to all care just let me know and I look forward to hearing from you! I am self employed right now so my schedule is extremely flexible. I do plan my schedule a week in advance usually but am also open to last minute bookings. I have a fenced in back yard with two fur babies of my own. I can easily crate my dogs or yours if that’s what you prefer or is necessary!

“Eric was on time, professional, and my dog adored him. For 30 minutes each day, he walked him and even got on the ground and played with him. I will certainly ask Eric to help out in the future when I need a walker again.”

I have trained my pup to the best of my ability and continue to get compliments about it. I’ve always been passionate about pet care and making pets feel like a member of the family, not an accessory. I’m currently employed by the U.S Army. Pet care fits in my routine first thing in the morning, lunch time, and anytime in the evening! I walk my dog daily on a leash around my neighborhood! I would love to walk other people’s dogs! I have a crate for my dog and he is trained to go in at anytime! I have space for a crate if an owner requires their dog to be put up at certain times! My dog is very submissive and is always looking for new friends!

About: I’m a college student and athlete who truly loves being around animals. I have experience caring for pets for friends, family, and my own cat, Sven, who I’ve raised since he was a kitten. I also grew up with my childhood dog for over 10 years, and after she passed away in August of last year, it made me appreciate even more how special the bond with pets really is. Because of that, I love meeting new animals and giving them the same care, attention, and love I gave my own. Being a volleyball player has taught me responsibility, consistency, and patience, qualities I bring into every pet I care for. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just companionship, I treat every pet like they’re family. I’m currently in school Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9:00 AM to 1:30 PM, which still leaves me with plenty of availability in the afternoons and evenings. I also work a part-time job on Tuesdays and some saturdays, with shifts ranging from 5–7 hours, and I play college volleyball, practicing every week day 330-6pm. Even with my schedule, I’m very organized and flexible, and I always make time for responsibilities that matter. I’m committed to working with pet owners to find a schedule that fits their needs, whether that’s regular visits, drop-ins, or adjusting my routine to make sure their pet is well cared for and not left alone too long. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in whatever environment they’re in. In a client’s home, I try to stick closely to their pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions they provide. I make sure their space stays clean, especially when it comes to things like litter boxes or food areas, and I always keep a close eye on their behavior to make sure they’re doing well. I also give updates so owners feel reassured while they’re away. In my own home, I create a calm and clean environment where pets can relax and feel at ease. I make sure they have a safe space, plenty of attention, and regular care throughout the day. Since I care for my own cat, Sven, I’m very familiar with maintaining routines, cleanliness, and making sure pets are comfortable and well looked after. No matter the setting, I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they get the attention and care they deserve.

About: I have 3 rescue dogs of my own, I’ll take the time to learn each pet’s routines and needs so they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care has been a natural part of my daily schedule for years. Im always happy to fit pets into my routine and ensure their care will fit seamlessly. When caring for pets in your home, I do everything I can to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I follow your instructions for feeding, walks and playtime, so your pet stays on a familiar schedule. I also make sure to give them plenty of love, exercise, and companionship.

About: Dogs and cats have always been a part of my life. I have experience with washing, walking, feeding, potty breaks and overnight stays. Currently, my occupation is a dog groomer. Before this job I was a vet assistant at an Animal Hospital. I work part-time right now so I have plenty of time to watch after your pets. I’m available everyday including weekends. I have a flexible schedule. On days I have to work, I feed my dog and cat twice a day. My dog gets let outside before I go to work then when I get home. He gets baths on a regular basis.

About: I have always had a dog or cat (or both) my entire life. Right now I have a dog that is almost 3 years old that I am working on socializing more. We got him less than a year ago and he was so frightened of the world and people in general, but he is slowly getting better. I have trained the two dogs I got before I moved out of my parents home and they are still thriving and very well trained. I have been pet sitting for neighbors, family, and friends for a long as I can remember. I love animals and I love building trust with one. I am available most days out of the week, but also go to the gym and have to take care of my animals as well. I have a very friendly dog that I can bring to your home, with permission of course, to play with your furr babies if needed. I typically have my own dog sleep with me at night and crate train him while I leave my home. Let me know if you have a preference on how I handle your animals whether it be putting them in the crate when I leave, if they prefer running around in your backyard versus a walk, etc.

“Ashley and her son were so amazing and thorough with my pup. My high energy husky was very happy and properly worn out after their walks and that is no easy feat! They did above and beyond with sending pictures and making sure both my dog and I were satisfied with the care. Would book her over and over!”
