Dog Walking Wilmington

About: I grew up with dogs since I was a child. I grew up with Shiba Inus, so I know very well about them. I currently don't have any pets as my girl passed away from old age last year and haven't gotten a new furbaby since she passed. I have been a professional dog walker/boarder/care taker for 5 years before pandemic and had many recurring clients when I was in the Bay area. I love walking them and always give 1 on 1 attention. Some of the compliments I get all the time are how detailed my updates are with many pictures and videos. I personally love to take many pictures and videos of my pets and kids, so I just take a bunch when I walk them or have them over my place. I always make sure they have water (iced water when it gets hot) before I leave with treats (unless pawrents say otherwise). I always update with their potty details too as I know as a pawrent that you want to make sure your furbaby is doing well. If I feel something is wrong, I immediately contact the pawrent. If they made a mess, I try to clean up the best I can before leaving as I know how tiring that can be unless told otherwise. Another compliment I get is how well I am with senior dogs or dogs with medical needs. The dog I grew up with was with me since he was 3mo old until he passed (15.5yrs old). He had many health complications the last 3yrs of his life that I learned how to give every medicine that you can think of including eye meds, pills, syringes, etc. I always have pill pockets, so just in case they don't want the meds in their food, I can always wrap with pill pockets instead. I am very keen, so once I get to know your furbaby, I will be able to see any changes or sense a difference and will let you know. Since my dog was very quiet, we missed a lot of signs from him although I had a doubt as a kid. I don't want that happening to anybody or any dogs. I am also certified in pet first aid and pet cpr. I take pride in as a caretaker and love to be your furbaby's new buddy to hang out with! I currently work at home, so I can be with your furbaby all the time even when my kids are home. I don't mind taking them for walks or even to the park after work as long as weather permits Dogs are free to roam in kitchen/living room area and will have access to unlimited water. Treats will depend on what permission I get from each pawrent. They will never be alone with my kids without any adult supervision as I know how rough kids can be. My kids are taught, but are still too young, so I will never leave them alone with any dogs. I never left them alone with my senior girl even when she became weak and ill with her last few months of her life.

About: I have experience caring for both my own dogs and my neighbors' dogs. I am familiar with both small and larger breeds, and I have worked with older dogs that require extra attention and care. My empathetic nature makes me well-suited to take care of your beloved pups. I am currently working part-time, so walking your pups would be more than just a job—it would be a hobby that allows me to spend time with beautiful animals. Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are top priorities in my pet care approach. Whether caring for pets in my own home or at a client's residence, I ensure a secure environment by implementing measures such as regular safety checks, secure enclosures, and pet-proofing spaces. I maintain open communication with clients to understand their pets' specific needs, preferences, and any health concerns. This personalized care extends to providing a clean and stimulating environment with enriching activities tailored to each pet's temperament and energy level.

About: My dogs are my life, and I want to ensure your dogs are well taken care of while you’re away. I have experience taking care of multiple dogs, from puppies to senior dogs, and dogs with timely medications. I had my first dog at 9 years old for 15 amazing years. My second dog, I’ve had since she was a puppy and has crossed the rainbow at 16 years old. She was also on specific timed medication for the last 3 years. I also take care of my brothers 2 dogs. I am currently unemployed, and I’ve been working on freelance work projects from home. I have plenty of time to care for dog and I am flexible with time. I have a fenced backyard your dog can spend time in. I also have a small fenced area in my home they can stay in comfortably, and separately from the other dogs. All preferences can be catered to your pet such as if you want your dogs away from other pets or if you would like them outdoors more that inside, etc.

About: I worked as a vet tech for 6 years and dog grooming for 4 years. Ive had dogs my whole life. I can't wait to meet your family member! I love walking and what's better than walking? Walking with a loving friend of the family. I will drop everything for a dog in need. I always make sure to keep open communication with the owners and other family members. Also I love sending little photos or videos of us :)

“Paula was professional and great with my dogs. She took really good care of them on their walks. Thank you. I will hire again in the future.”

“Really appreciated having Giovanny being available to walk my dog Gnocchi. From the second we booked, he was communicative and clear. All note and instruction I sent, no matter how vague, he was able to make the most of. He cleaned up a little accidents that happened where he did not need to. Definitely a solid choice if anybody is in need of doggy care!”

About: Owners will love the care I provide because I'm very loving and respectful of needs/wants. I'm very caring for animals as they need our help as much as possible. I love all kinds of animals. My care experience is based on learning from watching, reading online, or learning on my own experience how to proceed in careful matters. I've learned very risky situations on my dogs that I had in the past that I was not comfortable with but I managed to take risks. So I can say I'm a bit of a risk taker as well, But a safe only if you want me to do. Nothing is done without concerning the owner. These are a bit of what I can do for my dog and try with any other pet. I can bathe, clip nails, comb hair, and come up with tricks with treats granted. Availability comes great with me because I'm home with my fur baby of my own. I'm home throughout the day/night unless I'm doing homework, photography, or at the gym to better myself; Which I love too. This is great as well if you're looking to better your pet well being. So being available is my most accurate thing about me and it works for any working hours of dog owners. My special skills are loving, playing with dogs, and keeping them happy always while spoiling them with my love or treats. haha. I also love to take photoshoots with my fur baby as I'm trying to own my business one day. I love teaching tricks, spending time walking with them, or just hanging out. I'm here for dogs. Dog lover is my passion. If I could own many dogs I would. I'm those extra helping hands. I am here for you! I can take them to play, walk, feed them, and potty/poop. I also can be there for your fur baby on weekends if you like to go out somewhere and have no worries. I'm here for you. I make sure your fur baby is happy, worry-free, and calm and stays to your commands/rules. I give love and accept lovable kisses and messes. I also have a fur baby of my own, so I know what it takes. I can do any service that you want and try my best to succeed with focus and helping needs until you return to your favorite companion.

About: I have been sitting and caring for dogs for ~12 years; dogs of all sizes, temperaments and needs. My partner and I fostered dogs for 2 years, some of which were high medical needs, mother dogs and young puppies, etc. I am super comfortable with any age and temperament. I am currently working super part-time, so I have a wide open schedule at the moment :) Happy to walk them on a consistent or one-off schedule, do drop ins, or watch them longer term at your place. I currently am not able to keep any pups at my place, but I am totally happy to come to yours and run any protocol you typically do with your pups. Crating, treats, brushing, etc.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over a decade of experience in dog walking, pet sitting, and cat care. I started pet sitting in middle school for family, friends, and neighbors! I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes. I also have hands-on experience with newborn puppies. I’m happy to care for your cats too! Feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and all the love they need while you're gone. I work from home so I can take your pet to the bathroom whenever they need, take them on walks, and play with them all day :) I live in an apartment but it is very pet friendly. There are many places for dogs to run around or go to the bathroom.

About: I have two dogs of my own that I've been caring for since I was about 5, and I'm also my brother's designated dog babysitter (he has two super cute chihuahuas). What sets me apart is that I truly care about your dogs health and wellbeing, and I'm not scared to handle big dogs. I will 100% always make sure your dog gets water at the end of the walk and make sure that they show happy body language. I'm also extremely flexible and don’t mind doing extra things like helping to train or showing up early and leaving late. I’m probably your safest and cheapest bet because I don’t do dog walking solely for the money, I also genuinely enjoy being around dogs and going on walks. Since my dog is old, I can only really get that experience with other people’s dogs. I am super flexible and can work around your schedule, day or night. Let me know if you have any questions, let’s get in touch! You can trust me to keep your dog safe, healthy and happy. I understand dog body language well and can tell when a dog is happy, stressed, scared or showing warning signs.

About: I specialize in taking care of cats. I’ve had cats as pets since I was six. I have minimal experience looking after dogs but am capable of doing so. I work part time at a local remand am doing an internship two days a week. I am taking classes online and will have plenty of time to care for your pet(s). I keep my cats indoors but have looked after indoor/outdoor cats. I can provide whatever type of care you want for your pets in your home.

“Linda started walking my dog Rainy yesterday and everything went great!! My friend and neighbor met Linda and told me that Rainy loved her. Linda sent me lots of pictures and provided a great summary of her time w Rainy. This is such a huge help to me. Very happy we found Linda!”

“Brandy was absolutely amazing with Joker! From the moment we connected, she was warm, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease leaving him in her care. She kept us updated with photos + messages throughout his stay, and it was so reassuring to see how happy, comfortable, and well cared for he was. It was clear that Brandy genuinely treated Joker like one of her own, and that meant so much to us. When returning back, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a wonderful time - not skipping a beat! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you, Brandy, for taking such great care of our boy! We absolutely booked again as soon as needed and highly recommend you to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring.”

“Jake had a great time on his walk with Armando and came back happy and relaxed. We’ll definitely consider Armando for future walks and day care!”

“Kayla was great with my rambunctious Dalmatian! She ensured to tire her out each walk. I received several photos and a detailed description each time. She even asked before treating my pup to a pup cup, which I thought was very thoughtful. I would definitely use her in the future!”

About: I have had the pleasure of helping friends and family with their pets since I was a young girl. I've always loved furry friends, children too, & I recently had a fur baby of my own who taught me how to groom her and love her as my very own first puppy. I loved baking her little home-made treats, and making her dinners from scratch! Unfortunately, I had to return her to her original family as my living situation and job security has been undergoing major reconstruction the last couple years. I work in music and am now a mama to a baby boy! SAHM since I am EBF, so all support helps my family. I am currently looking for a full-time job as a nanny, so until then, my schedule is totally open! I love taking pets to play outside with me any day of the week! I love cuddles and making your fur baby feel comfortable and happy. I will be glad to update you with pictures, as needed, and I am a great communicator who will be sure to ask you questions regarding your little (or big!) one if any arise, so we can assure they are happy and healthy while they are under my care.

“Connor has a wonderfully calm presence which has been so helpful as he has walked our two dogs, one of whom is large, extremely high strung and skittish. He is communicative, reliable, and attentive to details. We will definitely continue to use him.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 10 years, with the last 5 years being much more regular, including several years on Rover. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including large and senior dogs, and I have experience giving medication. For drop-ins, I can handle potty breaks, feeding, medication, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention based on what your pet needs. For house sitting, I work remotely from your home during the day and stay overnight. I’ll plan my schedule around important feeding, walking, and medication times. I may leave during the day or evening for errands or plans, typically for no more than about four hours at a time. Sometimes they are guest stars in some zoom calls :) I’m big on communication. I’ll send photos, videos, and updates as often as you’d like. I know it’s much easier to relax while you’re away when you know your pet is happy and doing well.

“Stephen greatly helped me out by walking my dogs on very short notice after I had a sudden complication from my leg surgery and could not walk them myself. He was incredibly accommodating! Stephen was professional, friendly, and dependable. My dogs got along well with him and it was clear he is a dog lover by nature and they enjoyed their time with him! I would highly recommend his services and would definitely hire him again. Thank you so much Stephen!”
