Dog Walking Wilmington

About: I have experience giving medications (pills, liquids, ear/eye drops) as well as experience with senior and small dogs especially. Senior care is my strength but I love dogs of all ages. I work from home part time and am home all day Friday-Monday. There are no children or pets in the home so I am able to provide my undivided attention. Your dog will be inside my home most of the day as I do not have a yard. I do however have a large park/lake across the street that I frequent that is great for walks.

“I had a last minute request to walk and feed Tofu and Sky was able to accommodate it, which was a big relief. He arrived promptly, was very communicative throughout the process and asked questions to make sure Tofu gets the best care. Also sent me lots of photos. Great experience and definitely highly recommend Sky!”

“Velvet continues to do a great job with Tank and Gelo! She’s reliable, caring, and always keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. My dogs are comfortable with her, and I always feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely keep booking with her!”

About: Having a passion for animals had allowed me to be able to adapt to the needs of each pet I encounter. From ferrets to good ol' doggos, I am comfortable with all sorts of pets. I'm a Student Parent and being able to help pet parents in-between class and parenting myself is a perfect fit in my schedule. It allows me to control my schedule. Currently I am unable to keep pets in my home. My services are pet sitting or walking. Thank you for this understanding and I hope to work with you and your pet soon!

About: I have a special places in my heart for animals and can’t wait to share that love with your pets! I have always adopted my own dogs from the animal shelter and have experience with all types of temperament’s. I am also an avid runner with my own dogs and happy to take yours for a run as well if a walk isn’t enough for their energy needs. Since we can’t adopt any more dogs into our family at the moment, I joined Rover as a way to have more dogs in my life! I work full time from home but have a pretty flexible schedule to take my lunch break at any time during the day depending on when your pet needs me. While I will only be providing outside the home services, I always make sure to treat people’s homes as I would my home. I make sure to leave it better than I found it and alert the client if I noticed anything that needed their attention immediately.

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 :)

“Kristina was early and has a pleasant demeanor. I can tell she loves animals and she had a great time with the cats. My dog Freja is shy but at the end of the walk she was sniffing her out. Thank you.”

I have lived with a dog for about 2 years I work part time so i have around 3 free days a week while the others i work schedule i can comfortably have time to go check in on your fur babies and work ! I can make sure your dog comfortably gets the care and attention they need while you’re away. Whether that is walks or just playing with them for a bit so they aren’t lonely

“It was a pleasure working with Elaine. She's very responsive and reliable. It's clear she has a lot of experience with animals and working with others people's pets. I felt very comfortable leaving my pup in her hands. She kept me updated with photos and videos, and let me know how my dog did during her walk and afterwards. Will definitely be booking for services with Elaine in the future.”

About: I’ve had my dog, Milo, since he was a puppy and I basically take him anywhere he is welcomed. As someone who was scared of dogs as a child, I made it a priority to understand my own dog. I learned plenty about dog enrichment and body language, which has helped Milo become a well-adjusted and socialized dog. My approach to dog walking is allowing the pups to obtain enrichment through walking with brief stops for quick training. All bookings will help fund my dog’s dental cleaning, so thank you! 🫶🏽 Available for walks almost any time during the week, so long as you book in advance. 🙂‍↕️ Will likely walk my dog along with your dog, but let me know if your dog prefers to fly solo. Milo and I take walks every 4-8 hours. All pups are welcome to make themselves at home and are allowed on the furniture. There’s a balcony if your pup wants to sunbathe with Milo. We have a crate that your dog can use, if need be.

“Pearl was amazing! She dropped in before our first booking to meet me and my dog, Lola. Pearl fed and walked Lola and sent photos of our happy pooch! Thank you so much for taking great care of Lola. We had peace of mind while out for the night and came home to a happy pooch!!”

About: I have been a sitter for years. It’s just something I love to do because I love animals :) Once I got a fur family of my own (Dog & Cat) I thought it would be fun to be a sitter and do something I love. I always go the extra mile and create content, if the client approves. I work as a music producer and have tons of time for my animal friends! They make my days better 🖤 I love meeting new people and caring for their animal family. It’s just something that brightens my days. I’m very caring and attentive. Always watching out for them to make sure they’re safe and happy. Knowing they’re properly cared for is my top priority.

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: My pet sitting days started out when my sister’s friend needed someone to watch his new beagle puppy Charlie. My first step into this field started at 18 where I spent 4yrs working for a boarding/daycare business that offers care for all dog breeds and sizes from puppies to seniors as well as cats in private luxury kitty condos. There I completed 2 courses and became ✅Certified✅ in reading dog body language and communication. Promoted to 👩🏻‍✈️Shift Lead👩🏻‍✈️ and responsible for all food/medication prep and administration. I became well known for being able to get those who wouldn’t always eat to eat 😋 🔹Trained in administering 💊Medications After the daycare I held a ⚕️Veterinary Kennel Assistant position as well as a 🐾Professional Dog Pack Walker/Pet Care Provider position with separate companies for a brief window period before I decided working from home through Rover was a better route while my first born was still young. 🐣 Since then I’ve had a second child and spent the past 2yrs working as 🫧Bather on and off at a local grooming shop for dogs, cats, birds & bunnies 🐶🐱🦜🐰 I’ve taken a break away from working regular hours to focus on my youngest a development as well as my eldest as he’s on the spectrum 🧩 Available full-time for your Pet Sitting/Dog Walking needs! ⏰🫶🏻😊 🩵Please note that I do have young children (ages 10 & 2) they’re great with animals (: 🩵 🔻Cannot Board any aggressive pets🔻 ❇️Can Accommodate❇️ ✔️Can provide Overnights in your own home for larger breeds & those who do better in their own space 👽✨ I keep the day going with what things need doing that day and would take joy in having your pets be a part of our family. I live in a spall apt near the Stonehaven area on NextDoor. I have a vehicle and if okay’d can transfer or walk from my apt to the park to provide enrichment/exercise if needed/requested. Potty breaks are always on leash.

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: I’ve always been a dog person! I grew up around animals and have had both cats and dogs my whole life. For the past 14 years, I’ve also cared for friends’, family members’, and neighbors’ pets, so I’m experienced with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I love getting outside for walks—whether it’s a quick neighborhood stroll or a longer adventure, whatever is best for your pup. I had a baby in February, and we’ve made daily walks and hikes part of our routine. Since losing my own dog in May, I’ve really missed having a furry walking companion. I’ll typically have my baby with me, either in a stroller or baby carrier, so your dog will need to be comfortable around babies. I’m reliable, patient, and will treat your dog like my own. I’ll always make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re having a great time. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I’m able to provide walks, check-ins, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I love having animals as part of my routine and enjoy making sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I only offer pet care in the client’s home, as I have a cat of my own who prefers being the only furry friend in the house. In your home, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for by providing lots of love, feeding, walks, playtime, and attention. I’ll also help keep things tidy along the way so your home is just as you left it.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all kinds — dogs, cats, guinea pigs, reptiles, and more! 🐾 I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs, whether that means walks and playtime, feeding, keeping enclosures clean, or just giving your pet lots of love and attention while you’re away. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, cuddly, quirky, or a little high-maintenance, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! Currently working part time with plenty of time to care for your fur baby. There is nothing I cannot or will not do to keep your pet healthy and happy. Loads of experience and references. I love animals more than humans! I have been caring for all kinds of animals for my whole life and look forward to caring for yours, too!

About: My mom and I had a loveable and adorable black pomeranian. I helped with potty training him from when he was a puppy. I thought him tricks, walked him, helped give him his medicine, groomed him, feed him & gave him water, and mostly loved him. Dogs are great company and are so loveable. I helped my ex with his tea cup yorkie. I feed him, gave him water, bathed him, cleaned up his pee pee pad, helped with giving him his medicine and I enjoyed his company very much. Dogs are not only our pets but a member of our families and can be at times like our little one. I miss laying down with my dog and my ex's dog also. Currently, right now I'm looking for a full-time or part-time job. So at the time being I have plenty of time to play, walk, feed & be your fur baby. I am available to board him/or her on the weekdays & weekends. I would always take out your pup with his/her harness or leash. I stay in a quiet neighborhood and I will always make sure he/she has food & water as well love.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 6 years, my own dog, my brother’s 2 dogs, chicken and cats. I trained my dog from just YouTube and he is perfect. I’ve started to watch my neighbors dogs this summer, going for long walk and regular care. I’m currently on summer break so I have too much free time. I spend my days at the mall or at my brothers house volunteering to watch his dogs, even when it’s just for an hour. I have a fenced area and I’m very strong and fast so I can catch any dog if somehow the leash magically disappears. At home the door stays locked.
