Dog Walkers in Walnut, NC

About: I have been an animal lover for life and a dog owner for two years. Before that I have been a dog sitter several times in the UK, where I am from. I have regularly cat-sit for a family, which included taking the little feline out on walks in her harness! I love doing training with my own dog, (who is steadily becoming more well behaved!) and would be happy to incorporate training into my visits with yours. I am a very active person and can play ball, run, and walk with dogs. I know the importance of mental stimulation. I am currently available most days, with the exception of Wednesdays. I am an artist and market vendor, and I am able to adjust my schedule much of the time to fit in with your needs. I am happy to walk dogs and do check-ins at your home. I am a careful and cautious person and will follow instructions given as closely as I can.

“Becca was prompt and communicative, we were so grateful for the updates and the reliability! We didn’t get to meet Becca in person this time but hope to in the future!”

About: I've been house & pet sitting for many years. I'm very mature, responsible, and dependable. You can count on me. I love animals but don't have any pets because of my traveling lifestyle, so I love getting to bond with little cuties all over. I am a dance/movement teacher as well as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (a body-based trauma therapy). I work from home on zoom these days, so I am around a lot to give love to your pet. Some of my loves (besides animals) are dancing, traveling, photography, art projects, hiking, being in nature, and fixing up Scooby (my Honda Element that I've turned into a "Hotelement"). I've traveled all over the world until COVID hit, but since then have traveled across the country twice and am so appreciating the beauty of my own country. I am vaccinated and am very careful about COVID as well, so know if I'm in your home, I will be taking good care. I'm happy to take care of your pet in any way you need. The thing I have the hardest time with is saying goodbye to the little ones when it's time to go! I work for myself part-time on zoom (so I'm home a lot), so I set my own hours. This way I can work around the needs of your pet. I love cuddling and playing with pets. If it's allowed, I love having them up on the couch with me when I watch a movie, and don't mind them sleeping in my bed at night.

About: I am 44 years old and have many pets throughout the years. Currently I have a super high energy, playful little rescue from Brother Wolf. She is a lab/cattle dog and keeps us on our toes. She loves to play with her 6 doggie best friends next door and would love your dog too, I am sure. I am high energy and love to take the dogs for walks and even down to the river when allowed and appropriate! our home is a lovely rural home with lots of space to play and explore. Our home is clean and safe and comfortable. Your dog would be treated as well as our own! We have tons of space to roam on leash. Thanks for your time!

“Julie came by to walk our high energy dog, Summer. She showed up on time and was patient with Summer while she got acquainted. (Summer is a bit anxious around new folks.) we appreciate Julie helping Summer exercise on a busy weekday! Thanks Julie! Will book again.”

About: Ive cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for years, including my own mini Labradoodle. I am confident with puppies, high energy dogs and shy pups who need gentle love. I have hands on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, medication, crate training. I treat every dog like they are my own. I am a junior in college, I will be home for winter break for over a month and want a side hustle! I have open availability throughout the week. I have a Labradoodle Honey who gets lots of attention, affection, and a consistent routine. I make sure she has rest spots, fresh water at all time, and regular walks and outside time. I will send regular updates and photos so you know how ur puppy is doing.

About: Growing up, my mom took in just about everything from scaled and slithering to four legged and prancing. I walked our dogs as well as dogs in my neighborhood for a little extra cash as a kid. I work a very open schedule, 7-8 AM leaving 8:30AM - 1:15PM open for me to hang out with your furry friends M-F or after 8 PM for their last walk of the night. Weekends are completely flexible! My dog and I go on three walks a day, so I know the neighborhood pretty, I make sure my furry friends always walk by the grass when we walk and walk in the direction of traffic so we see the cars coming. Your pets will always be on a leash when they’re with me!

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was five years old. I still distinctly remember the breeder of the first dog I ever owned - a chocolate lab named Ginger - looking me in the eye after seeing I was apprehensive about the dogs and telling me, "Son, some day this dog will be the best friend you ever had." Ginger and I went everywhere together. I've had dogs and cats virtually my whole life, and the animals love me. While I am employed full time, I work in a hybrid setting that includes roughly 3 remote days per week, so I can be pet sitting on site and developing as close a band as I can to alleviate the babies' separation anxiety. I aim to please - if you'd prefer for your fur baby to be crated at night, then I will make sure s/he does that. My only job, other than to make the babies' experience as smooth as possible, is to follow the directions laid out by the owners.

About: Hi friends! I am an energetic person who LOVES the outdoors and basically any kind of animal. I am blessed enough to be able to work for my husband for his concrete business so I am home (mostly) all day every day! I have 3 dogs myself; a Border Collie, GSP, and a mixed breed (half Great Pyrenees, half Australian Shepherd). They are my babies. I live on 19 acres that is all fenced but 18 of those acres are occupied for our 13 goats and 3 llamas! No worries though, we have a huge fenced in area directly beside/where our house sits just for dogs! We also have a doggie door from inside, leading to the outdoor area, so your dog will definitely get the exercise and outdoor time they deserve, as well as coming and going as they please! :) I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! Monday-Thursday with some weekends! We travel a lot over the weekends in the summer so weekends are limited but I will keep my weekend schedule updated We have a doggie door leading to the fenced in area for our dogs so they are able to come and go as they please. If you aren’t comfortable with the doggie door, I will make sure your pet does not use it and I will take them out for breaks frequently!

I don’t have a traditional job so I’m home a lot. I have a front and back yard that I can walk your fur baby in. I also have 2 friendly fur babies of my own to keep them company.

“Morgan did a wonderful job with our nervous dog. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. It was obvious that she cared a lot about taking the best care of our girl!”

About: Just like caring for my daughter, I care for my dog just as well. And if I’m caring for your pet, chanced are they are being absolutely spoiled and will be worn out by the time they are returned to you. I am great at training and could have yours doing new tricks by the time they are returned. I can even groom/ nail trim on occasion if needed, just ask. I understand our pets are our family and like me, you’ll probably worry about them staying with a complete stranger. You’ll worry about them from the second you leave them with me until you get them back. But I promise I’ll care for them as they are my own. I’ll send photos frequently as I I know this eases worry. I do require you provide a crate in the chance wi leave the house. Your welcome to check in on them anytime without worrying that your bothering me. I work part time at a school so I am available to allow pets to relieve themselves and even get some energy through the day. I would care for a pet the way the owner cares for them. I wouldn’t want to change the pts daily routine so keeping them on schedule and following the woners pet rules is how I work.

About: I've taken care of animals since I was young, but especially since I got my own cat around seven years ago. I'm deeply passionate about animals and animal care, and absolutely adore being around pets of all shapes and sizes!! Additionally, I've worked as a veterinary assistant, so I have much experience with all different breeds and personalities! I'm currently between jobs otherwise, so I'm happy to be wherever, whenever! I'm happy to fit absolutely anyone into my schedule, whether on short notice or in advance. I follow instructions very dutifully and will attend to your pet exactly how you instruct me to. I love to take pictures and videos, so you'll get plenty of content of your fur baby while I'm caring for them!! I prioritize their safety above all else.

About: I've been caring for dogs and horses since I was 10 years old (over 20 years). They are such an important part of my life. I am hoping to help with the care of your furry loved one, as I understand that they are as much a part of your family as any human. I have cared for all ages and health levels in canines, and have a special soft spot for senior pups! I can walk, clean up after, feed, bathe, play, snuggle, reenforce potty training, and administer medications...and have experience doing all. If I am taking your baby for a walk, please feel free to give recommendations about their favorite walking paths or dog parks. I can accommodate allergies too, with your guidance (tell me which treats they love/can eat safely, etc). I am currently between jobs and have all the flexibility and free time in the world. I am happy to take care of your loved one any time of day. I currently do not offer my personal home for boarding but I am perfectly willing to stay in your home with your loved one. I am hoping to offer boarding in the future.

“Raquel has been incredible! Highly recommended!!”

I understand that our pets mean the world to us, I am reliable, trustworthy and will provide excellent care!

About: Please note before considering me: I do not accept any requests for dogs not friendly with other dogs. This is because I have two very friendly/happy pugs and one amazing golden retriever, who will need to participate in any all-day or overnight care I've had dogs my entire life and love all breeds, personalities, shapes, and sizes. I work from home, so they'll be in good hands! Again, your dog will need to be OK around with other dog for any overnight stays. I am flexible with your schedule, detail-oriented, and reliable. You will not be disappointed and your best friend will come home happy. Every day of the week is open! My husband and I work from home, so we are always here and take great care of our animals. We have a secure and fenced in property with tons of land to play and roam around in, including a dog splash pad and endless toys and affections to offer.

About: All my life, I have been surrounded by animals. As a mental health counselor by trade, I know how important it is to have animals and the connection that they have with their human counterparts. Animals are a part of the family, and I believe that they should be treated as our own. I am a very responsible and loyal pet sitter and I promise to provide excellent care to your fur-babies, so that you can have a restful and relaxing time away. I work full time from 8-5 M-F, and sometimes later. However, I am free most evenings after 6 as well as weekends. I have some holidays available as well so please reach out if you want to have me look after your pets! I have one dog and one cat. I take my dog on 2 mile walks a day and she is very friendly! My cat is my dog's best friend. If I end up taking care of pets overnight, I can arrange care for my own! I try to go to the dog park at least twice a day!
