Dog Walking Willow Oaks

About: I’m a professional dog trainer with years of veterinary medicine experience and a bachelor’s degree in Animal Health and Behavior. I’m experienced with dogs of all breeds, ages, temperaments, and behavioral needs. Caring for animals is already a major part of my everyday life, so adding another dog to my routine fits naturally into my schedule. I live on a farm and care for multiple animals daily, including dogs, horses, poultry, and other farm animals. My days are already structured around feeding, watering, exercise, cleaning, training, enrichment, medication when needed, and monitoring the health and behavior of the animals in my care. As a professional dog trainer, I also understand that dogs need more than food and potty breaks. Dogs staying with me receive plenty of opportunities for exercise, play, enrichment, rest, and individual attention based on their age, personality, energy level, and normal routine. I am accustomed to planning my schedule around animals and making sure their needs are consistently met throughout the day. Safety is one of my highest priorities when caring for someone else’s dog. I am a professional dog trainer with years of veterinary medicine experience and a bachelor’s degree in Animal Health and Behavior. This background allows me to recognize changes in behavior, body language, stress levels, and physical condition that might otherwise be overlooked. Dogs in my care are supervised and managed according to their individual temperament, training, and needs. I do not assume that every dog should interact with every other animal simply because they are staying in the same home. Dogs can be safely separated, crated, rotated, or given individual play and exercise time when appropriate. Because I live on a farm, I take additional precautions when dogs are outside. Every boarding dog wears a GPS tracking collar whenever they are outside of their secure kennel area, providing an additional layer of safety and security. Dogs are never given unnecessary freedom simply because they are staying in a rural environment. My goal is to provide a structured, safe, and enjoyable environment where owners can feel confident that their dog is receiving knowledgeable, individualized care while they are away.

About: While your pets are in my care, they will be treated as if they were my own. I will assist you in training your puppy to master the basic commands: sit, stay, and come. I am retired so your pet care is my first responsibility. During the summer, I will walk in the morning with potty breaks in the afternoon if it's too hot. During winter, if the weather doesn't permit driving, I will contact you and ensure that as soon as I can drive, I will be there to give your pet much-needed potty breaks and playtime. For more detailed availability, please see my public calendar https://calendar.app.google/1EpS26QNofEFAmsH7 Your pet's safety is my #1 concern. With that in mind, I will only walk when the weather permits. I will give them time to take care of their business and plenty of play time when the weather does not permit a walk.

“Shadow loves her and she is great with helping out with training tips! Highly recommend!”

About: I love all animals. I love walking, am playful with them and take them to parks etc. I had a German Pointer, Vita, from puppy til her death. She was extremely loyal to me. Although I lived with my husband and kids, I was her person. Overall, I can tell animals are very "attracted" to me and even my friends notice that with their pets. I help taking care of my son's black lab. Im available most of days after 4PM and all day Mondays and Tuesdays. I love walking in the parks and neighberhoods. Your pets will be safe and get necessary care and excersises with me. If boarded in my house I will take care of him like my own pet. No worries. I have an unfanced big yard but I love walking so Id do that twice a day. With your permission I'd take the dog to the parks and hiking trails.

“Eden was just what we needed to help cover a gap in our schedules. Our dog Carson is strong-willed and strong bodied at 40lbs of solid muscle. Eden had no problem handling both aspects. Carson walked further for longer and put herself straight to bed from exhaustion every night. She truly enjoyed her walks with Eden almost more than she enjoys walking with us! That speaks volumes for Eden’s care and skill in giving our girl the quality exploration and exercise time she needs. Will definitely use Eden again for future needs.”

About: I am a work from home mom who loves pet sitting. I started this journey a few years ago, and has had the privilege of hosting several dogs of all ages, personalities and sizes. My children absolutely love animals, especially dogs, so there will be lots of cuddles and love from us. I take dog sitting very seriously, so I am very careful, and I always aim to please my pet parents, so I am always sending pictures, videos, and making sure your baby is happy and well taken care of. I am big on staying fit and healthy, so I take daily walks to get my steps in. I am very accommodating, so nothing is ever too much for me. I’ve had pet parents ask me to scramble eggs for their fur babies and put it on top of their dog food, and I’ve also had pet parents tell me to only feed their fur baby with a spoon, so please don’t hesitate to ask for any special request, because I aim to please! I work from home during the week and I have lots of down-time allowing me to interact and play with your fur baby . I am off during weekends and holidays I have a big house with an unfenced yard, and a loving family that will play and love on your fur baby. We will take daily walks, play outdoors, and have lots of play time and cuddles.

I’m comfortable following each pet’s normal routine and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. I also make communication a priority and provide thoughtful updates and photos so pet parents can feel at ease.

I treat every pet like they’re my own and take their care, safety, and happiness seriously.

About: I have raised many different types of dogs for 15+ years. For the last 5 years, I have housed many different animals in need. I have trained puppies, as well as nervous, and abused dogs. I make sure my home is a very welcome environment for animals of all kinds. Like my husband likes to say, I want a petting zoo in life. I currently work part-time in a pawn shop and full time mom to an adorable little toddler. We love being able to be around and care for animals as much as we can. I go on holidays maybe once or twice a year so I’m always around willing to help train or even just be a companion to your furry friend while you’re away I have an open yard with plenty of space to run around. I also have crates within the house just in case they need to be crated too. I have 3 adult dogs that roam free and are very friendly, as well as 3 puppies, and a 2 cats inside my house as well too. But it’s very rare my cats will come out during the day if I’m housing a dog inside.

About: Hi everyone! My name is Janet and I would love to look after your pup or kitty! I have been in the animal care industry for around 15 years and it is something I am truly passionate about. I live in Durham, NC where I managed a boarding and daycare facility for both dogs and cats and have trained professionally to care for animals. I love traveling through the Triangle area and loving on all the animals I have the privilege to take care of. Watching your sweet pet would be more than just a job, it would be a wonderful opportunity to do something that I absolutely love! Service Abilities: I am a frequent pet sitter for clients all over North and South Carolina and have experience with check-ins, walks, boarding, overnight house-sitting or if you are comfortable, bringing your sweet pet to my home. I provide walking, feeding, exercising and caring for pups and kitties of all breeds, ages and sizes. I am also trained to administer any canine/feline medication including Insulin. I understand the love that owner’s have for their animals and the nervousness you feel when you have to travel away from your pet. Through my 15+ years of experience at an overnight animal boarding facility, I focus on establishing trust and will strive to make you feel comfortable enough to leave your pet in my care by being someone you can depend on. I communicate promptly and frequently so you always know how your pet is doing! I currently work from home so I have full availability on weekdays and weekends to watch and take care of your pup or kitty anytime! Whether you’re going on a last-minute trip or you’re looking for something consistent and routine-I am here for whatever you need! Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions and I’m sure we can set something up that’s perfect for you and your pet. I have a fenced-in dog park in front of my home that your pup and kitty can go out to play and potty and if they enjoy playing with other dogs, I can take them to the public dog park right down the road. I live in a large neighborhood so long, sunny and breezy walks will be part of their day too! I currently work from home so I am available 24/7. Your pup or kitty will receive around the clock care and attention from me. I strive to give them just as much of a vacation as you are experiencing when you drop them off with me! I do not have any children in my home so your pup or kitty will be free to roam! I provide dog and cat beds, food and water bowls and lots of toys and treats (only if you approve as I will be mindful of your pet’s dietary needs and any allergies). If I am checking in or house sitting for you, your home will be treated with the utmost respect. I do daily cleaning, will gather any mail and packages and will leave your home spotless! We do have a boy cat that is 9 years old that we rescued when he was 6 months old. He LOVES all other cats and dogs but he knows when to keep to himself. For dogs and cats that may not get along we have and do use a metal gate that will separate them completely so no worries if your pup or kitty may have an issue with a cat!
