Dog Walkers in West Smithfield, NC

About: I am a retired registered veterinary nurse and have over 8 years of experience taking care of pets. I love taking care of neighbor pets and giving them extra snuggles when their owners are away. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes and breeds. As a shelter nurse intern and foster dog mom, I loved working with shy, nervous, elderly and special needs pets. I am able to medicate pets as well when you are away. I would love to take care of your pets as if they were my own. I have trained as a marathon runner in the past so I love taking animals for walks or runs. This is my only job so I have open availability 7 days a week for help care for your pet, as well as most hours of the day. Safety is always a priority for me. I will make sure your pets are in good hands. I am not currently taking pets into my own home for care.

About: Hello, I’m Jess! I grew up around animals from the time I could walk until now. I’ve had dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters, fish and a horse! I’ve always felt so comfortable and at ease around all kinds of animals and have always tried to help every animal I can (even if my parents didn’t appreciate it haha). I currently moved down to North Carolina with my cat and lived with 4 other cats, 4 dogs, and 6 birds before now. I also rescued a 9week old kitten from a dumpster a couple months ago! I’m really excited to have the chance to care for your fur babies while you’re unavailable! I can ensure they will stick to any schedule they may have, have any necessary medications on time, and are happy and safe before I let them have their “me” time! I’m currently working night shifts, part time, so I’m available during the day for our pets and late at night! I typically have 3 days off per week and am able to work around my work schedule to ensure your pets have the best care possible! I like to come in and figure out what I can do to make the fur babies days a little better! Make sure they have food, water, find some treats and toys for them, and have a field day of play! I always triple check that my home and my clients homes are clean and safe when I leave so we don’t risk accidents happening and so everyone can rest easy! My primary concern is always your pets safety and well-being, as well as my own, so you can rest assured your pets will remain in a safe and happy environment while I’m there!

About: I have worked in animal shelters. I have rescued stray and abused animals and helped located their owners and if I couldn't I kept them until they were ready to find a home. I am currently taking college courses to become an animal cop I want to continue to save the abused and neglected animals. I treat my pets like family. I have helped animals including babysitting in my home and at the residents for 18 years. I have worked at the animal shelter and volunteered there. My passion for animals has never changed. My kids also love animals. They have sat and watched animal cops with me and they say to me mommy we need to help them they need a family. It's sweet seeing my kids feeling the same passion as I do. I am a stay at home mom I do babysit kids during the week. I make sure all dogs get exercise while in my home. I have one 12 year old dog I allow all the animals to free roam unless I start seeing some aggression then I do separate bathroom times and things.

About: I’ve taken care of pets all my life. Neighbors and friend have relied on me for years to care for their pets. I worked for a vet while in college assisting in treatment of animals and assisting in surgeries. I also pet sit when clients need extra help. I live volunteering at animal shelters. I have 5 cats and 2 dogs of my own. Animals of all kinds are absolutely wonderful. I work full time as a 5th grade teacher. I am about to be out for the summer, so I have plenty of time to take care of your wonderful fur babies! In your home, I make sure to follow all your directions for care, feeding and giving meds. I always use a leash or go outside with the fur baby if there is a fenced in yard. I never leave them alone.

“Anastasiya took our girl Charlotte (5 year old Shepsky) for walks while my wife and I went out of town for 4 days. Charlotte can pull from time to time while walking, Anastasiya handled the walks like a pro. She took excellent care of our pup. She was punctual, affordable, dependable, communicated well and went above and beyond for our girl. She will be who we use anytime we go out of town! Thanks Anastasiya!”

“Jen was excellent! She sent me pictures from the walk and was very communicative throughout the process. She’s very kind and I could tell my puppy loved her. I will be using her services again.”

About: I have taken care of many types of dogs, doing everything from feeding to walking to giving medicine to my aunt’s senior dog. I have even worked with a sweet blind pupper too! I have an open schedule to care for your doggos during weekdays. I am also available weekend days too, if needed. Last minute needs I can accommodate too. I have 3 dogs of my own, a black lab, and two pittie mix babes. My husband’s cousin has entrusted us with the care of her pittie doggo while dealing with health issues. My aunt who lives across the street from me has me look after her two dogs when she travels out of town.

“We have used Faith several times now and LOVE her! So thankful to have found her on Rover. Thank you, Faith!”

About: I’ve walked and cared for my families dogs and cats since i was young, i’ve always loved animals and having the chance to care for new pets is really fun. im currently working part time, mostly nights so i have a lot of free time during the day and afternoon. im also free every other weekend in my home, i feed my cats twice a day and make sure they are played with and loved on. And unfortunately right now, one of my cats is having tummy issues so i do know how to administer medications if needed.

About: Whether you have a dog, a cat or both I will be there for your fur-baby and their needs! For those with special needs I am very attentive. Should they just need to rest…I will be there too. My other job is driving for Uber and I work that around Pet Sitting so I'll have plenty of time to walk, play or care for your special friend! I'm not currently available for boarding as my daughter is staying with me and we both have kitties. I like to work my schedule around the pet’s schedule and needs, and provide what each pet is used to on a daily basis - feeding times, medicine administration, sleeping habits, walks, etc.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life! I was lucky enough to be a dog mom to a 16yo GS, and now have a 9yo Labrador. We love a good dog pawty! I am a full time, remote student; I have plenty of time to give love and attention! We start our days around 5am, and retire between 9-10pm. We take early morning walks and sometimes in the evenings (if weather permits). I have a fenced in yard, and have a lovable Labrador to keep your dog company while youre away; he likes to share his toys and treats!

About: I am passionate about the welfare of animals and very keen when it comes to being a voice for them. The time, patience, and dedication required to not only care for but train our pets can be too much for the busy and fast-paced lifestyle many of us live nowadays. I'd love to be of service to those wanting to make sure their dog(s) gets the time and attention they want and need. I have the most experience with Medium/Large/XL dogs. Koda, who is a bully breed, has been everything to our family for almost 6 years. He is by far the most well-behaved and friendly dog I have ever experienced. The general breeds I have the most experience with are Bully breeds, Collies, Great Danes, and Mastiffs.

About: With over 6 years of professional pet care experience, I bring expertise in senior pet support, medication administration, and kennel management. I am committed to providing reliable, compassionate, and high-quality care, ensuring every pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being while giving owners peace of mind. I currently work full-time from 3–8 PM, but I’m available for care as early as 6 AM and as late as 9 PM — weekends included! Every visit is fully customizable to meet you and your fur friend’s unique needs! I provide unlimited care tailored to your pet’s comfort and happiness. Safety is always my top priority, and I’ll share photos, videos, and a short update so you never miss a moment with your furry companion.

About: I have taken care of animals as long as I can remember! I am comfortable around all dogs and willing to adapt and learn how to care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I have two dogs of my own a beagle and a GSP. Both full of curiosity and energy! I am currently working part time and available for drop ins or house sitting when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dogs parks, anything you already do with them to make them feel the most comfortable!

“Brittany was awesome! She was very helpful and very communicative and the dogs seemed to love her as well! Will absolutely be working with her again :)”

“Amanda has been SO. AMAZING. We had a malfunction with our locking system to get in and Amanda went above and beyond to make sure our baby was taken care of and persisted until she gained access to our house. She gives awesome updates, communicates well and snaps lots of pictures! Looking forward to hiring her again.”

“Very reliable and great communicator!”

About: I am a veterinary medicine scientist at NCSU vet school and I currently care for a variety of livestock on my small farm in Selma, NC! We have horses, chickens, a hermit crab, and a sweet rescued dog named Ladybug! I love spending time with animals and will care for your animal just like my own! I have worked with a professional dog trainer and understand basics of leash walking and basic obedience. I am professional and on-time with appointments, attentive to detail, and highly organized. I have had pets my whole life and worked with animals professionally for about 18 years! I also volunteer with the Wake County SPCA when my schedule allows and passionately advocate for local rescue groups! I work full-time as a scientist who primarily works remotely so my schedule is very flexible during the week and weekends. I also ride horses locally! I only accept 1 client at a time, so your pet will get all the attention they deserve! I am an attentive care-taker for a variety of pets including dogs, cats, livestock (horses, goats, sheep & cows) & birds (parrots & poultry). For pet-sitting on my property your pet will be allowed full access to my home away from my personal pets (I keep my personal animals quarantined in a separate suite within my home when we have visitors) and also have access to our large yard for potty breaks & outside time when weather allows. We also have a large fenced in area for outside playtime when the weather allows!

“Tori has been great watching our Bichon, Teddy! She's always on time and sends pictures that are great to see during the work day. I would recommend Tori to anyone who has a pup that needs walked or just to hang out with during the day!”
