Dog Walking Wilton

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.

About: I have had dogs from 30lbs to 150 lbs and I have loved them all! In my free time I volunteer hiking with dogs at a local animal shelter. And spend the rest of the time spoiling my two fur babies at home. I work remote and have a flexible schedule that can accommodate a wide range of needs during the weekdays as well as on the weekends. My two fur babies are trained to listen off leash, but love to go for walks on leash. One is a couch potatoes that can be trusted and one a wild puppy that is crate trained. So I am used to a wide range of care needs.

“Natalie came in to help last minute before we went on vacation and was great with the dogs. Our two are not always the most social, and they warmed right up to her. We definitely recommend her to help your pets.”

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for them. My mom previously co-founded a dog rescue in New Hampshire, and I grew up helping with foster dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Through that experience, I learned how to work with shy and nervous dogs, high energy breeds, and everything in between. I’m very comfortable with large and strong dogs. I have a Newfoundland, German Shepherd, and Husky of my own so I understand the structure, consistency, and exercise they need. Whether your dog is big, small, young, or senior, I can confidently provide safe, attentive care. My experience includes walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and of course lots of love and attention. I’m dependable, motivated, and flexible, and I treat every dog like my own. Your pup will receive patient, responsible, loving care every visit. Weekday and weekend walks and drop-ins available! I’m available to do morning, afternoon, or evening drop in visits and walks. I’m flexible and happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Safety, structure, and communication are my top priorities. I use secure leashing practices, remain attentive on walks, and follow all feeding and care instructions precisely. I respect your home and ensure your pup feels comfortable, safe, and cared for every visit!

“Brandon has been an incredible dog walker, and I can't recommend him highly enough. He is consistently reliable, always on time, and extremely communicative, which gives us great peace of mind. It's clear that he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with, and we always know our pup is in great hands. Brandon's professionalism and dependability make him truly exceptional. We are so grateful to have found him!”

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.

“Preciosa was a wonderful dog walker! We’re so grateful for her support and kindness, and the love she’s shared with our dogs. Finn and Ken had a great time under her care.”

“Alexis was great with our pup Max. She communicated well before and after the booked walks to make sure that timing worked out. She was friendly and most importantly Max liked her. I would highly recommend Alexis.”

“Zoe was great! We needed someone last minute and she was able to do a meet and greet the following morning and then took the dogs on a walk that afternoon. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone to watch after their pups!”

About: I have taken care of dogs of various sizes and ages for more than a decade. Coming from a rural community I always had contact and love for animals and as a young adult I have kept pets and cared for family and friends pets as well! I work in a hybrid role and am able to decide what days I go in to the office. My office is also relatively close by and I’m able to go home when need be to check on a fur baby. I have a fenced in yard and am able to crate your fur baby (as well as mine) if needed! I am typically home more than I’m not and am always happy to spend time with pets.

About: I’ve pet sat my friends animals, and they’ve had so many! Senior dogs that have accidents and have behavioral issues. Exotic pets, of many kids. Every morning, I fill the cat and water bowl in my room, weekly I clean the bowls. For my dogs, whenever my parents don’t feed them cause they are out, I feed them and fill their water. I brush their coats, and try to give them baths every few weeks or so! However the pet parents would like, but I care for what is best for their health. I understand each pet is different and needs different things. I can bathe the animals depending on behavior, my right leg doesn't haven't as much feeling since surgery and cant handle a lot of big pressure.

About: I've taken care of my own pets and many of the pets of family, friends, and neighbors for over twenty years. I also have a service dog who I've trained mostly on my own, with refinement help from a professional, so you can feel confident that your fur family will receive exceptional care and attention from a patient and knowledgeable handler. I have an open and flexible schedule every day of the week, so it shouldn't be difficult to match what you need for your pet(s)! I have a 4yo poodle service dog who would only need to be with me for overnight stays or if your dog(s) would like a mid day playmate. He's incredibly sociable and energetic when off duty. Either together or solo, I will make sure to follow any routines or specific instructions we discuss and care for your fur family as if they were my own.

About: I have cared for my own personal pets as well as friend’s and family’s pets. I have enjoyed every minute of it. I walk, groom, feed, and bathe when needed. I am a graduate student at NCCU in Durham so I don’t have time for a full time position but Rover allows me to have the flexibility to do pet sitting when possible. Weekends are my most available time and I will also have time in between my clinicals and my classes that I can do walks or drop in visits! I have always been an animal lover, I have grown up in a household that has always had multiple pets at a time. My pets get my full attention and affection at al times when I am home! They bring me so much joy and I would love some more fur babies to love on with all of the responsibility of caring for the 24/7!

About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, spiders, snakes and even children lol for family and friends since I was 13! I’m currently working full-time Monday thru Friday onsite but can be very flexible! I am available in the mornings until 9:00am and available after 3:30pm. I have an open schedule on weekends! We stay in a gated apartment complex and have multiple neighborhoods and a dog park around for a variety of walking paths and adventures! We have a bengal cat who loves outside so we walk her almost every day, she is great with the dogs and children. I am all about making sure the pet owner is comfortable with their pet staying with us. I stay on the schedule and rules provided by the pet owner. I am punctual and always aware of my surroundings.

About: Member of NC animal advocates united and volunteer at local shelters. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of every breed and age for 15 years+ from puppies and kittens to gentle seniors needing extra care. Vegan with a big heart. Neighbors, friends, and family alike trust me for reliable walks, feeding, caretaking, and companionship. I’m currently in online classes and working part time virtually, so I have plenty of flexibility and availability to caretake! My in person work is currently on hold. So I’m available on weekends, overnight, and morning. I currently have a friendly, well-socialized and pretty spoiled dog and a cat who stays with a friend. I can crate your dog if wanted, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s specific routine and house rules /any special requests in your household too. Long walks are perfectly ok with me.

About: I have worked with Anna’s Angels doggy day care (4 years) & unleashed (2years). I have also had a variety of animals in my life. Animals are loving and caring, you just have to be patient with them. I have experience with grooming maintenance and health care aid as well. I treat all animals like family, Yes!! I allow all pets on my couches, bed , furniture (etc). I’m a a college student studying to get my degree in psychology. This has left me with a lot of free time. I tend to just dog sit my sisters 2 miniature pinscher‘s but I was introduced to Rover and with my love for animals I thought we’d be a great fit. Usually I’d assist with grooming, walks/play time, cleaning of feeding bowls, cages/beds area, refilling food/water or any special request that is needed at the time.

About: I am a dog owner and have been receiving great care from other dog walkers and owners. I am looking to provide the same quality time and attention to dogs (and cats!) whose owners have to be away for a period of time during the day. I have most experience with walking dogs including my friends’ and neighbors’ dogs for a few years because I truly believe that dogs benefit from walking in many ways such as physical conditioning, brain stimulation and socialization which also leads to improved mood and behavior. I am also open to provide attention and care to cats at their home ensuring that they are comfortable with strangers. I request a meet-and-greet with your pet/s before the visit so that I can properly introduce myself to your pet/s (and you as well!) and know the details of the type of attention and care they need. It is important for me to know any medical conditions, their temperament as well as any training that has been provided since these things will help me extend the love and care that they normally receive from their owners. My schedule varies each week so I can be available for a stretch of days for your loved one. Just ask and we’ll work something out I have a fenced-in backyard and 2 dogs. One of my dogs takes awhile to warm up to other dogs although he loves to play once he has opened up. That said, I am only open to boarding your pet if they are either crated and low energy or easy going type that is friendly to other dogs.

About: I’ve owned family dogs since I can remember we’ve always had a pet. I’ve cat sit for my sister and her friends on multiple occasions, dog sit for my aunt, watch family friends dogs, and have walked anything from a terrier to a Great Pyrenees. I’m currently a student at Wake Tech and work two part time jobs. The jobs don’t take up much of my time during the week and I utilize time management well, so school isn’t usually too busy unless it’s around tests or exams. I can get up whenever I need to and get sleep whenever I find the time I’m flexible in where I can be and for how long. My homes isn’t good for pet care as I still live with my parents and have a dog of my own living here, but I can assure you in your home I will care for your pet like it’s my own and treat them and your home with the utmost respect. I can do whatever is necessary to take care of my clients pet’s whether that’s just being around them because they like company, taking them for walks, feeding them, and ensuring their safety above all else.
