Dog Walkers in Willow Spring, NC

“Melany was very accommodating with our last-minute request and schedule changes. She communicated promptly, was on time, provided great updates, and successfully built a rapport with our puppy, who is not used to meeting a lot of new people yet. Will use her again in the future!”

“Amber was amazing with our Elia and Snowball. She stayed in communication with me the entire time I was away. Our two pups adored her and we will be using her again in the near future. If you need an amazing dog walker and sitter, Amber is your lady!! Thank you again, Amber!”

“Emily did a great job with Juniper and took plenty of photos of her during her walk!”

About: Hiya 👋 I am Kristyn and I love all things dogs! I currently have 2 of my own, Puck a 90lb hound mix and Hattie a 30lb pocket pittie who I love dearly. I spent a good chunk of my time volunteering at a local animal shelter in NY when I lived there and so I am well versed with working with all different dog personalities. I wound up adopting 2 from there, who have since passed, and had to work with them both on both stranger and dog issues. At my time at the shelter I did participate in dog training programs to help dogs get adopted and have used that within my own dog ownership with my own dogs. I went through the growing pains with my older boys so I am comfortable with seniors and have had plenty of time with puppies that I am also comfortable with them! When I first moved to NC I worked at an vet for about a year and a half as a kennel tech and vet assistant/helper. I was tasked with administering all meds to boarders and am more than comfortable doing so should your pup need!! I currently work from home 4 days a week but work right in Fuquay on the 1 day I am in the office. My son is currently in preschool 5 days a week and my daughter in daycare 2 days a week to which I am their school bus so just twice a day I have to take care of that. Otherwise more than able to walk between 9am and 3pm. But message me if times needed outside of that range and can definitely help out! I am available for in your home boarding/dog sitting as well as dog walking as needed. I prefer to keep your furbabies as much on your schedule as possible so a meet and greet is best to determine the best plan of action while out of town. Plenty of outside time or just relaxing inside as needed and time out of the crate if necessary! At this time I will not be offering in my home care but who knows it could be something I am able to do in the future!

“Lauren was great! She was communicative, on time, very sweet, and Panda took to her immediately. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her good hands. (And I am overprotective). She walked Panda and played with her, sending me pictures. I recommend Lauren!”

“Thanks Lacey had a great time with you”

About: I've taken care of numerous kinds of dogs, from small to big and everyone has been happy with my services. I am comfortable getting dogs medication and any special treatments. I'm currently a part-time college student with a very open schedule. I will have plenty of time to play with and take care of your animals! In your home I will take care of your dog to the highest standard and follow any safety steps needed to make sure they stay safe and happy.

About: I grew up with 2 sheepdogs, cats, ferrets, and chickens. I have loved and cared for them from when they were babies to when they were seniors! I love and have plenty of experience with all animals and treat them like they're my own. I only work part-time, and have a very flexible schedule to take care of your pets! I have no pets of my own, so I am always available to stay overnight or for long periods if needed. Safety and trust is most important to me. I prioritize communication, I have a fenced in yard and prioritize animals comfort and health above anything else.

“Kristine was great with our dog, great to work with! Would hire again.”

“Kim helped me out at short notice, taking my high-energy dog on an hour-long walk on a hiking trail. He took to her the moment he smelled her, and had a great time with her. She asked pertinent questions before taking him out, and picked up the instructions for the e-collar straight away. I would definitely book her again.”

About: Have owned my own dogs and cats over the years. As they've grown older and passed on, I have satisfied my love for animals by caring for my kids' pets when they go on vacation. I've gone to their house and stayed, but also they have stayed in my home while mom and dad are away. We go for walks, and I have a fenced in yard and doggy door them to come and go as they please. Like my grandkids: I love having them and playing, but I also love the flexibility of sending them back to mom and dad! I am a retired teacher and am home most days. I have various errands during the day, or other things, but nothing that would interfere with visiting guests. I no longer have a dog of my own but our visiting fur babies ( and the grands) have a fenced yard with doggy door. Dogs are secure inside the back yard. I care for one dog, that loves the back yard and wants to stay out all day, weather permitting. He is safe and secure there with water and shade, and comes in when he is ready. But most of the dogs come inside. They are free to go out to play and do their business.

About: I have always had a love for animals. I worked in a kennel for 11 years. Got my first puppy at 14. I feed, medicate, walk and love all my animals. I am 100% a responsible person. I have two dogs, three cats and fish of my own. I have fostered many kittens including bottle fed them just hours old. I have some basic medical knowledge. My schedule is pretty open all summer until mid-late August. I am willing to book in advance or consider last minute needs. I am used to a schedule involving taking care of my pets daily. I follow instructions well. I am a visual person so written instructions are a must. I have lots of time and love to give to your family member(s).

About: Hi there! I'm an experienced pet sitter with a passion for dogs and cats. I've been involved in caring for animals since high school, where I volunteered with a local rescue in my hometown. I've also worked as a kennel technician and a veterinary assistant, gaining experience with many different types of animals. In addition to my work history, I have furry friends at home, including three dogs and a cat. When your pets are in my care, we can on walks, play with toys, or snuggle up for some quality time. I have experience with many different breeds and temperaments, and I know how to provide the best care for your furry friends. Let's make sure your pets are happy and healthy while you're away! I work from home and I have a fairly flexible schedule. If you are in need of care for your furry family member I would be happy to help if I am available. Currently, I am able to do drop in visit and walks. For drop-ins I can stop by your home and check on your fur-babies and provide any care they may need. This can include (but is not limited to) feeding, walking, medicating and scratches/snuggles. For each visit I will send you an update and a photo of your pet(s). Feel free to contact me if you have questions about the type of care I can contribute.

About: I don't remember at time that I didn't have a dog as a companion. They've always been a part of my family. Currently I have a long haired Chihuahua at home. Joey is 11 years old and going strong. Until this past April, I also had a miniature poodle that was named Shadow. Shadow and I were best friends for 17 years until he passed from old age. During his lifetime, Shadow was able to travel to The Bahamas and to Canada with me. I loved being with him. I know how hard it is to leave a pet behind, wondering if they're ok. It's important that you know they're well taken care of when you're away. I'll take care of them like they're my own.

About: I have always made fast friends with other animals easily and joyfully. Pets really are the greatest gift and I only ever hope to live up to that by providing patience, fun, kindness, and thoughtful care-taking! I have had pets my entire life and have been pet sitting for over 20 years. I take pride in providing the best care possible, being fully present to an animal and their needs, and providing the peace of mind to you that I would want when away from my pets. With pets of my own, I know what it is like to find someone who you truly trust and feel comfortable with - I hope to be that person. I have a flexible hybrid telework schedule that allows me to be available for care-taking around your pets' schedule needs. I will have the utmost respect for your pet and instructions. As for house-sitting, my husband takes care of all our animals so that I can be fully present to stay with yours! I am open and honest and will be available for any more information you would like to know! Thanks for considering me to take care of your precious friends. My work schedule is flexible and I work from home most days. On the days I go into the office, I am not gone for extended hours. I have plenty of time and availability for morning, mid-day, and evening pet care during the week. On weekends, morning play time is always extended, as is snuggle time, and longer walks if the weather allows - but we always spend a ton of time in the backyard, unless our guest prefers naptime on the couch. I take pet care seriously, especially with other people's pets. I treat the animals with the same respect I treat my own, and how I would want someone else to take care of mine. I want the pets I care for to feel safe and happy, and barely miss their owners. That means I am very intentional about their physical as well their emotional needs. And, honestly, I get so much joy meeting new pets and hanging out with them that I want the pets to feel the same way about me. I will follow their normal schedule for feeding, walking, and anything else you ask as part of their routine. I am also very communicative while taking care of your pet(s)! I will check in with you everyday to provide at least a picture and any updates. I take a ton of photos, and love to share those! I am also always available for you to reach out anytime and respond quickly. When it comes to your home, you will not even know I was there, except your pets are happy and well-tended to :). For boarding requests, we have two very friendly small dogs and two dog-friendly cats, they all really do get along and we like to keep a calm and harmonious house! Our dogs will play if the our guest wants to, and our cats are very gracious hosts :). We only board one dog at a time. Please do not reach out if your dog is not (small) dog and cat friendly, thank you! (Our previous dog, RIP, is still listed here, she passed recently and I cannot bring myself to delete her profile yet...)

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I do work some days out of the week but pretty close to the house where i can easily commute back and forth for any additional accommodations. I have a fenced yard with plenty of room for your pets to roam around. Indoor and outdoor areas are well taken care of and baby proof ! Haha

About: My connection with fur babies runs deep. I have, often, felt more connected to animals than humans. I believe we all have had animals that we love but, usually, there is one animal that changes everything. You know the one I’m talking about….the one that the connection is (or was), somehow, different or deeper than the others. I call those animals Familiars. Maybe that resonates with you too. Either way, I fully grasp that trusting someone to take care of your fur baby is not just a big deal but, it is a privilege for someone to experience. I have thirteen years of experience taking care of different animals. This includes administering medications, providing senior/end-of-life care (I have a soft spot for the elderly), and learning to understand the language in which animals speak. I, also, have experience rescuing, fostering, and re-homing Australian Shepards. I believe in respect, safety, connection, and consent when it comes to animals. I believe that all animals come into this world to help heal us and I just want to be able to give back (in whatever way I can) a small piece of what they gift me, every day. It would be such an honor to help get to take care of, work WITH, and get to know your little (or big) ball of fur. As an Artist/Creator, my schedule is more flexible than most people. When planned in advance, I have ample time to make sure your fur babies are safe, happy, and healthy when you cannot be there! I ask a lot of questions so I can know and understand the specifics of what each animal needs. My primary goal is to make sure the interaction is safe, for both me and your fur baby. Then, it is my job to ensure your animal is comfortable, content, and they have a good time! I believe this can only happen by working with the owners (and then, with the fur babies).
