Dog Walkers in Wildwoods, NC

About: Since I was ten years old, family, friends and neighbors have given me the privilege to help walk, feed, play with and bathe their pets. My sister is a vet, and growing up, the running family joke was that we owned a zoo since we had three dogs, two cats, a bunny and a horse. Being around animals from such a young age and at times helping my sister in her vet practice has allowed me to be comfortable with a wide variety of dog temperaments, sizes and needs. People who have hired me to watch their pets in the past have been impressed by my ability to provide them with personalized care. I consider myself a "dog person" and have found that dogs tend to gravitate towards me. As someone who considers pets part of the family, I understand how important it can be to make sure pets' needs are taken care of while owners are away from the home. I promise to treat your pet like my own and make sure they get lots of pets, play and love while you are gone. I'm currently a solopreneur, so I set my own schedule and have flexibility to work with your needs for times to walk your dog. For house sitting, I work from home, so I can stay with your pets any weekday or weekend that I am available. Anytime you book me to housesit, I ask that my husband can stay at your place with me (that way your pet is getting two humans to give them attention and pets for the price of one). Providing your dog with personalized care is important to me when staying at your home. As part of my house sitting services, I provide a free 15-30 minute home visit with you present. This visit allows us to make sure we both feel comfortable with the arrangement, your dog is familiar with me, and I can easily find all the necessary supplies to best care for your pet. When staying at someone else's home, I treat your place like it is my own and am always mindful to pick up after myself and leave the place as clean as I found it.

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life, primarily large dogs up until end of life, as well as cats in the last 6 years. I’ve got extensive experience with these guys, and my love for these animals runs deep! I’m currently self-employed, so my schedule is very flexible for visiting or playing with your pets! The best times to schedule me are between 8am and 8pm, but I am open to other hours with planning in advance. :) I have a screened in yard, as well as 2 crates for small dogs and cats, comfy beds, and toys for them to play with! I also have treats and a dedicated space within my home for them to relax in.

“After using rover for the first time I loved michaela once I met her she is a very genuine and understanding person she always send pictures of my sweet pup couldn’t asked for a better sitter ! ❤️”

“Casilya has been a god send. Shes deal with our last minute cancellations and additional requests like a champ. She is flexible whenever we need and has made multiple trips when I accidentally locked her out preventing the walk. She could have gone home and charged us anyways but she didn’t she came back to give my pup a much needed walk after I ran home on lunch to unlock the dog patio.”

About: Compassionate, dedicated, and highly skilled animal care professional looking to provide exceptional dog walking and pet sitting services. As a Registered Veterinary Technician with a degree in Veterinary Technology and hands-on experience in clinical and kennel settings, I offer much more than a standard walk. I combine a deep love for animals with professional expertise in safety, behavioral restraint, and medical awareness to ensure your pet is happy, healthy, and secure under my watch. Because I am home with my family during the day, I have a highly flexible schedule to pop out for midday check-ins, backyard play breaks, or structured walks. Tailored walks to match your dog's energy level, from high-energy exercise to slow, sensory sniff-walks. Reliable home visits, feeding, watering, and maintaining a clean, structured environment for your dog. Safe and reliable delivery of prescription pills, topical treatments, or veterinary-scheduled injections if needed. Monitoring basic physical well-being, hydration levels, and behavior to guarantee a safe outing every single time. My veterinary technology background means that even during a quick visit, I'm instinctively performing visual health and hydration checks.

“Another great dog walking experience with Sage! She took my pup on walks this week, was super communicative during a thunderstorm, and sent the cutest pictures of my cat too :) thanks, Sage!”

About: I raised my Shih Tzu from 3 months up until I lost him to kidney disease on 9/11/2024. I walked him on a regular basis except rainy days (he hated getting wet lol), he was potty trained and free to roam the house while I was not home. Everyone ( family, friends, neighbors) knew how much I loved and cared for him. When he was in his last days from kidney failure, I stayed by his side until the end. I kept his routine the same. I pushed him in his stroller when he could not walk anymore. Administered him an IV daily to keep him hydrated when he barely ate and drank. I laid with him and held him until he let me know it was time for him to go to that Rainbow Bridge. As a newly retired person, I have plenty of time to give your furry friend(s) all the love, walks, and attention they need and deserve. Whether in my home or a clients, I provide a comfortable environment with meals, walks, playtime and companionship. I follow their routines as instructed to keep them happy and comfortable.

“Marilyn was great with my dog and followed all instructions! We will definitely be using her services again.”

About: I currently care for an English Bull Terrier that loves people more than anything else, and is not great with dogs. She has taught me the importance of watching body language, getting ample exercise, taking safe walks to avoid other dogs, and giving all the snuggles needed. I am very aware of dogs needs and keeping distance on leashes because of her. I have been around dogs all my life, from smell driven hound dogs, to ball driven mixes, and I love to play with and care for them all! I grew up raising rats and I love them too! I know the importance of them having social interaction, clean cages, and preferred food. I am also familiar with guinea pigs and hamsters. I also have fresh water fish tanks and can do water changes, feeding and medicine. I currently don’t have any cats (or other pets) because of my dog, so I am itching to get some quality cat time in as well! I would love the chance to care for your pets too! *I will have my 2 year old daughter with me most days. She’s very gentle with animals, but does get excited and laugh a lot. I wear her on my back in a carrier when I enter homes and walk dogs, however if your pet doesn’t like kids or is scared, I won’t be able to help this summer. I am a stay at home mom so I can come check on your pets at the most convenient time for you. If you need someone to come snuggle your pets, let them out, and play with them at anytime of the day, I am your gal! I will make sure your animal has more than just a simple potty break before I leave. They will have love, attention, and exercise. I like to come in the door with a treat (if allowed!) for dogs. I will play ball until the cows come home, or give them all the snuggles and love they need.

About: I’ve raised five rescue dogs and two rescue cats over the years. I currently have two pups: my Lola, a working breed with many VERY important jobs that the future of this country depends on (if you ask her) and Linus, my funemployed couch potato. My dogs are my life and they’re spoiled for it is their God-given right. I extend that same God-given right to every pet I care for :) They deserve the best in life! They’ll get as much walking, snuggling, fetch, or enrichment if they need their minds kept busy. I also sing opera and jazz to them but will stop if they tell me to 🙂‍↕️ I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs: high energy herding/working breeds, snuggly companion breeds, 70 lb lapdogs, dogs with separation anxiety, dogs with eccentricities that we don’t judge - this is a safe space. I’ve watched so many dogs that make me crack up with their antics. I’m also a big cat lover. I have experience with social cats who need to help out when I’m doing yoga or cooking or just want to snuggle and watch movies. I also have experience with divas and independent cats who lurk and come out when and if they feel like it. I know it can be tough when you’re away from your pets, so I do everything I can to keep their routines consistent and comforting. On the first day of a house sit, I’ll usually work a half day so I can spend extra time helping them settle in or get their new person excitement out. After that, I work a flexible 9-5ish from your home, so they’ll have plenty of company throughout the day. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I leave to walk my dogs and run errands but aside from that I’m with your pets. I prefer at least a couple days notice but can occasionally do last minute so don’t be afraid to ask! I’m comfortable pet sitting at your home and will follow the routine your pet is used to. Unfortunately, I can’t offer boarding at my house.

About: I've had family pets my entire life and have been the primary care giver for the majority of the time. I've also had foster puppies and dealt with very anxious larger dogs. I have a hybrid schedule so have great flexibility during the week. I'm completely free most afternoons for walks and longer sessions. Weekends are also no trouble, but fill up quickly. Each pet has their own needs. I'm able to just sit and pet or rough house with their favorite toy. I'm very respectful of crate time and treat schedules.

About: Hi, I’m Jillian. I currently own 2 dogs. A hound shepherd and mini dachshund beagle. Growing up we had a chocolate lab. Later on the family adopted a shepherd mix and then a husky. I also used to have an adorable little hedgehog and 2 birds. I currently work full time during the week and the occasional Saturday. Depending on distance I will be available for your pets for a mid day check in. I have experience at the Humane Society of Eastern North Carolina; walking/playing with dogs and feeding cats. I’ve also worked at an exotic animal farm (It’s a Zoo Life) taking care of the animals and assisting tours. I’m comfortable giving medications. Both of our family dogs take daily meditations as well as my hound shepherd. The husky is disabled, has had many surgeries and sometimes needs help getting around. I’m willing to pick up and drop off, bathe, walk and entertain your animals. I will also house sit, water plants or check mail if needed. I love puppies and kittens and I’m willing to stay overnight if needed. Exotic pets welcome! I currently work one full time job. Durning the week I have a break mid day. No breaks on the weekends but shorter hours. Depending on the distance of the address I can stop in on my break as well as before and after work. I like to stick to house rules of the owner. Please let me know specific things you would like me to oblige by or things to look out for. Otherwise the standard no crewing on people things only their own stuff, no getting on tables or counters, no biting, no pee/poop on furniture, etc.

“When we returned home my Speck acted like we were never gone which means he had plenty of attention. Thank you for taking such good care or Speck.”
