Dog Walking Windy Ridge

“I had Maliyah and Gabriel take care of my dog for four days (three walks a day), and honestly, they were just really solid people. They were always on time, kept everything consistent, and you could tell they weren’t just rushing through it. My dog can be a little particular with new people, but she clicked with them right away, which says a lot. Every time they came by, she seemed genuinely excited to see them. They made sure she was fed on time, took her on actual walks (not just quick bathroom breaks), and even stuck around a little longer to spend time with her. That part meant a lot to me, it didn’t feel like they were just checking a box. Overall, it just felt easy and stress-free knowing she was in good hands. I’d 100% reach out to Maliyah and Gabriel again.”

About: Im a nursing student who would love to meet and care for your furry best friend! I am in the area and i don’t have class everyday so im pretty available! I have always had a dog in our house for about 7 years. I have babysat neighbors dogs and cats. I have had 4 dogs at a time before and we have adopted rescues. I have had young pups to senior animals. I have clincials on Monday from 6:30am-12:30pm and it’s about an hour away so i’ll be available around 2:30-3pm. Free on Tuesdays! I have classes on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 8am-3pm. Always making sure they have water and feeding is on time/ the right amount. Checking the temperature for the animals' safety and their comfort. Gentle with senior animals so they have a sense of security while I am there. If not too hot, we would take walks, but also being cautious of their paws on hot pavement and overheating!

About: I have had a dog since I was 13, and more recently a cat. I raised my dog from the age she was a puppy until now. She is fully potty trained along with being well trained in many commands. My cat was a stray rescue, and is well behaved and is fully trained to use her litter box. I have never had an issue with either of my animals! I am currently a photographer, leaving plenty of time for me to care for your sweet baby! I am hoping to lean on Rover as my full summer time job, but if this is not possible, I will be getting a part time job that will still leave me with plenty of time! I am willing to make an effort to crate train your pup, or teach them any commands! I also love to go for walks and I would be more than happy to walk your dog once or twice a day depending on their energy needs!

About: Animals truly are a man’s best friend. They offer a kind of companionship and loyalty that’s hard to match—even with people. That bond between pet and owner is what motivates me to provide the best possible care for your furry loved one. I’m 21 years old and have had the joy of owning a golden retriever, a black lab, and three cats. As a seasoned pet sitter, I’ve cared for a wide range of breeds—including mixed breeds (husky, lab, Akita), Belgian Malinois, pit bulls, and more—ranging from playful puppies to slobbery seniors. I’m always excited to meet new breeds and personalities! I know leaving your pet behind is never easy, so my goal is to give every owner total peace of mind. You can feel confident that your pet will be safe, loved, and treated like family while you’re away. I am a nursing student at ECU looking to spend some of my free time hanging with your pets!! When not here at school or pet sitting I work as a Student Nurse in a Neuro-Trauma ICU Unit at the University of Maryland Medical Systems Shock Trauma, as well as a Shift Supervisor at Chick-fil A. Here at school, I enjoy serving at and attending church, coffee dates, working out, long walks on the Greenway and fruitful time with friends!! I’m happy to fit any and every pet into my daily and weekly routine🤗 Your home is your space, I am just the guest so I can promise respect when I am visiting to take care of your pet. I’m happy to follow all rules and do my part to leave your space better than I found it. I am very reliable and answer my phone that way you’re able to have constant contact with me and I can accommodate your requests whether it’s taking pics with your pup or making sure the house is locked up.

“Murphy loved hanging out with Allie during our work day! We will definitely be booking with her again. She got the cutest photos of him as well.”

“Thank you for all the picts and patience on getting Yoda to go for the walk!”

About: I have been taking care of animals for about 14 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles and so much more. I have experience with elderly dogs. I’ve had to give oral medication to my senior dog on a daily basis and I have knowledge of giving cats oral medication as well. I know how to potty train puppies if needed as well. I am very reliable, as well as very caring. I try to make your animal feel comfortable in a situation they might not understand. If needed I can bathe your animal. I am a first-semester nursing student at Pitt Community College, so my school schedule can vary throughout the week. Most days, I am in class for about 3 hours, while some days may include 5–8 hours of school, lab, or clinicals. This semester, my regular class schedule is typically Monday–Wednesday from 9 AM–12 PM with Lab typically on Thursday's or Fridays from 9AM-2Pm. My clinical schedule has not been assigned yet, so I may have clinicals on a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. I will always maintain open, honest communication about my schedule and availability so pet parents can feel confident their fur babies are receiving the care and attention they need. When I’m not at school, I have plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and overnight care. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing at home, or simply relaxing together, I love spending quality time with my furry clients. And when I need to study, your pets often become my favorite study buddies! I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that fits both their needs and my school schedule. When I’m caring for your pets, their safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I’m very attentive to body language and behavior, and I take the time to get to know each pet’s individual personality and needs. Whether they’re feeling nervous, anxious, unsure, excited, playful, or curious, I adjust my approach to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Communication is very important to me. I always tell my clients, “Please don’t feel obligated to respond!” because I tend to send a lot of pictures and videos. I want you to be able to look at your phone at any point and know exactly what your baby and I are up to. I’ll include updates throughout the day, such as feedings, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and anything else important, so you can see how their day is going. Most importantly, I want you to be able to see that your baby is not only safe, but genuinely loved and cared for while they’re with me. If I’m house sitting, I treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own. I’m mindful of your home, belongings, routines, and any instructions you leave for me. If anything unexpected comes up while you’re away, I will communicate with you promptly so you’re always informed. My goal is for you to feel comfortable and confident while you’re away, knowing that your pets are in good hands and that you’ll have plenty of pictures and videos to make you feel like you’re still a part of their day!

“We had some miscommunication but Daryana was great and flexible with the mix up! She sent several photos throughout the visit so I know my dog was well cared for! Thank you!”

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I currently have six amazing fur babies! 2 senior dogs, my childhood pets, and my four cats. Two of the cats were a bonded pair I rescued from SPCA while my other two cats were strays off the streets! I just love taking care of animals in any way, shape or form! I am excited to meet all the fur babies I soon take care of!! :) I have a remote marketing job so I am extremely flexible when it comes to taking care of fur babies! I also volunteer at Pitt county animal services to help show those babies some love as well! I spoil all of my babies. They sleep with me, get lots of treats and lots of pets!! My senior pups aren’t able to enjoy dog parks anymore so I love to just sit out in my back yard with them while they sniff and walk around!!

About: I personally have 3 dogs, 1 husky, 1 pittbull, and 1 chihuahua. I have had dogs growing up and have often dog sat for family and friends. I am a responsible 18 year old who just graduated from early college and am looking for jobs to keep me busy this summer. I am currently also working part-time so if I am given enough notice I work around my schedule to pet or house sit any day and time. When caring for clients animals I tend to give them a lot of attention and follow any rules given regarding feeding and/or house rules. When house sitting I tend to not mess with owners things and just keep to one space.

“Once again Stephen saves the day! I needed a walker for my two at the last minute and Stephen was available again! My dogs love him and his family. Thank you!”

About: I’ve had a cat for as long as I can remember. I frequently watch my sister’s cats as needed while taking care of my own. I currently only work part-time, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets each week as needed for your schedule! I will be an attentive pet sitter for your pet and make sure all of their needs are taken care of and that they are enjoying themselves!

About: In my 5 years of watching animals, I have found a passion in taking the best care of them and making them feel comfortable in their own homes. I have dealt with stressful dogs all the way to the outgoing kinds and know how to comfort them in anyways I can. I also have experience with training puppies and keeping up with them! Along with watching the animals, I am also there for you so if you have any plants that need watered or trash taken out I will happily do that for you! I am a Sophomore at East Carolina University and I do have classes Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday! I only have 1-2 classes a day that are not longer than an hour! My top priority is making sure they are comfortable and not stressed with their owners being gone. I ask the owners if they have any ways of calming them down and what their daily routine is. I mold my schedule to what the animals are used to so they aren’t dealing with a big change.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for every pet I care for. I take the time to understand each animal’s personality and needs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. With reliable communication, attention to detail, and a calm, caring presence, your pet will be treated like family. I am usually free everyday until around 3pm. Some weeks are different but I would love to communicate and find a way to fit your pet in. I create safe environments for pets by making sure they feel secure, relaxed, and respected at all times. I follow each pet’s routine closely, use positive reinforcement, and always supervise during play and feeding. I pay attention to their body language, give them space when needed, and keep their surroundings clean, quiet, and hazard-free. Whether it’s a cozy spot to nap or a calm walk outdoors, I prioritize their comfort and well-being in every moment.

About: I have always had pets in my life. I’ve cared for my neighbor’s, friends’, and family’s pets whenever they’ve needed me to. I love playing, walking, and giving attention to pets! I am working part time, completing observation hours, and helping out with an educational study. I will be able to take care of pets when I am not participating in these activities! I can walk or hangout with dogs a few times a day for 30 minutes to an hour! I live in an apartment with a puppy and an older dog. I am happy to come to the client’s house and care for their pets! If a client needs me to have the dog over at my apartment, I am more than happy to discuss and work something out!

About: I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up, caring for our animals was always one of my favorite chores, and my family currently has a pack of 8 dogs (can't all fit in my apartment lol). I started caring for animals outside of my own family when I was 10 and have experience with everything from dogs and cats to hermit crabs, leopard geckos, bunnies, and guinea pigs. I currently work as a therapist and am exploring getting a therapy dog of my own, so animals have always been an important part of my life. I truly believe pets bring so much joy, comfort, and value to our lives, and I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same love and attention they deserve! I am currently a therapist, so my schedule is flexible and can vary quite a bit. Pet care is the perfect way to spend my time between sessions! I currently do not have another fur-baby yet, so your pet would receive all of the love and attention. I am also outside frequently, and live in a very pet-friendly area, so there would be plenty of space for your pet to run around.

About: I require a copy of vaccines from your vet and your animal to be on flea tick and heart worm medicine to stay. ✨ Why choose me? • I treat every dog like family—snuggles, belly rubs, and playtime are guaranteed. • Safety first: I keep a close eye on all dogs and make sure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable. • Reliable communication: You’ll always get photo & video updates so you know your pup is in great hands. ✨ About me: I have lifelong experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether your pup is high-energy and loves long walks or prefers cozy naps and gentle attention, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. ✨ What your dog can expect: • Daily walks, potty breaks, and fresh water • Playtime tailored to their energy level • Lots of love and attention • A safe, clean, and comfortable home environment ✨ Extra touches: I’m patient, reliable, and truly love what I do. My goal is to give you peace of mind while giving your dog the best care possible. I work full time 8-5, thirty minutes away from my address and have family 5 minutes away if anything come up while I’m at work, I have cameras inside and outside of my home so I can monitor animals when I’m not home. I am also available on weekends if you need an overnight sitter, and can stop in and check on your animals as many times as needed. I do not have a fenced in yard and would require a lease and harness for them to be taken out. This would make me feel better as nothing would happen to them. I live by a stop sign so cars do not come by fast but they do go by right in front of the house. I have trained my dogs to go nowhere near the front yard for safety reasons.

About: Hi!! I am a senior at ECU and my family and I just moved to the Raleigh area from New York. I have been sitting for a little over three years and have experience with all ages, sizes and breeds. I love being outside and active, and going on walks is one of my favorite things to do. I also don’t mind picking up after the dogs. (Someones gotta do it lol). My family has had 2 dogs of our own but both are no longer with us anymore. They were my built in best friends and most of the time I enjoyed their company over my family’s. I am a morning person and like starting my days quite early so any of you need anything in the morning, I would love to help! I absolutely adore dogs and everything about them! Any time there is one in the room I am drawn to it and it gets my undivided love and attention. Most of my family and friends call me the dog whisperer because all dogs love me too! I have been sitting for a little over two years and have experience with all ages, sizes and breeds. I love being outside and active, and going on walks is one of my favorite things to do. I also don’t mind picking up after the dogs. (Someones gotta do it lol). I am open to anything from house sitting to just check ins- whatever is needed! My family has had 2 dogs of our own but both are no longer with us anymore. They were my built in best friends and most of the time I enjoyed their company over my family’s. I now have a a dog of my own, Champ as well as foster dogs though Pitt Friends so I am highly knowledgeable with anything regarding dogs and puppies. I have so much free time on my hands that I can work with as many that I possibly can! I like being up early and don’t mind being out all day. I can keep your gates and doors locked while we are inside. Make sure the dog is always on a leash before opening a door for a walk.
