Dog Walkers in Whitley Place, NC

About: I have always lived in a dog household- I find myself happiest when around canine friends. I have walked, dog-sat, and generally been around dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I look forward to learning the specific needs of your canine friends, and how to best support them when you are away. I work from home, and have a lot of flexibility on where I work from. Although I am working during the hours of 10 am - 6 pm, I remain open for discussion on needs of your pet. I can regularly step away to take care of pets, as well as house-sit and work from anywhere. Open to catering to your needs! I have experience working with larger dogs with... more assertive walking styles, as well as will pups that are just along for the ride. I love hiking, playing fetch, and always love to work with dogs in enrichment activities with food/treats.

“Jessica is the BEST! Always walks our pup for more than 30 minutes and leaves him exhausted! She also leaves very detailed notes as to what happened on each walk, how he acted, and what they did. We wouldn't know what to do without her!”

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: 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.

“Very reliable and great communicator!”

“My dogs loved Francesca C! They enjoyed their walks and I had peace of mind knowing I had an experienced animal lover with my boys. If she is available the next time I need a dog walker, I will contact her first.”

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.

“Molly was great for a last min walk that I needed. She was very communicative and kind! Will certainly be using her again!”

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!

“So far Kayla has done 3 walks with our dog. She has been flexible and accommodating with our schedule. Each time she sends some pictures and writes a note about her visit.”

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.

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!

About: With years of experience caring for pets and two years now on Rover, from running a dog-walking business to helping kittens be born, I provide expert, compassionate care tailored to each animal's unique needs and personality.😽 Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, as I’m already caring for my own dog and cat daily. Balancing my part-time job, I ensure all pets get dedicated, quality attention. I provide personalized pet care, whether in your home or mine. With my own pets, I’m experienced in creating a nurturing environment, ensuring animals feel comfortable, safe, and well-cared for daily.

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’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.

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

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: Hi everyone! My name is Lindsey. I work full time and have my bachelors in Criminal Justice. I have three wonderful boys, and they love animals just as much, if not more, than I do! We have two loving, awesome dogs and one cat. I have prior pet sitting experience through Rover, and through close friends and family. I also have foster experience. I have love and compassion for animals, and will treat every dog as if they are my own family member. I will give your pet the love and care that it deserves and make sure he or she is well taken care of in my care! I’m currently working full time, but remotely. I can do drop in visits on the weekends, and possibly board during the week/weekend depending on how the animals interact. If a drop in visit during the week is needed, please disclose ahead of time, of the time needed to ensure there will not be a conflict with my full-time job. We do not have a fenced in yard, therefore, they get walked multiple times throughout the day by leash and harness. Because of this, we ensure we find a way to get any energy out by going on a run with them or taking them to a park. We also have a crate to board 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.
