Dog Walking Winterville

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

About: I had dogs of my own for a few years and loved them whole heartedly. I also watched dogs daily in one of my home health cases. I am capable of feeding, playing, walking and taking them outside regularly. If you have pets with special or silly needs, I can absolutely meet those as well! I am a college student. I will have plenty of time to play with and walk your animals in between classes and studying. Some fresh air and animal time will be a nice break for me. In my client's home, I respect any rules that they have with their pet (ie. If they are not allowed on the couch or in certain areas, food restrictions, etc.). I will make sure to be outside with them watching them, just in case. I will follow feeding schedules and make sure they always have water. I will play with them and brush them if needed.

“Awesome job on such a short notice.”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets. While I have primarily pet sat for family and friends, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and needs. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, administering lots of love and attention, or sticking to your pet’s routine, I’ll treat your furry family member like they’re my own. I’m also a proud pet parent to two cats and a German Shepherd, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I know every animal is unique, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I’m reliable, responsible, and committed to providing updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and giving them the same love and care I give my own! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Since I set my own hours, I can easily adjust my day for walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays. I enjoy getting out of the house and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to. Your pet will receive dependable care, plenty of attention, and a schedule tailored to their routine whenever possible. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. I provide a safe, calm, and caring environment where pets can feel comfortable and loved. As a pet owner myself, I know every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I prioritize safety, supervision, and making sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and care while you’re away.

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!

“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.”

“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.”

“We’ve always relied on friends and family to care for our dog, so trusting someone new was a big step for us. Bonnie exceeded every expectation. I left her a detailed list of instructions, and she followed every one with great care and attention to detail. She was punctual, kind, responsive, and it was obvious from the start how much she genuinely loves animals. Throughout the entire experience, we felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such capable and caring hands. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, compassionate, and will treat your pet like one of their own, I can’t recommend Bonnie highly enough. She was absolutely wonderful, and we will definitely be using her again.”

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.

About: Hey everyone! My name is Jess! I am a grad student and looking for some work. I have been around dogs my whole life and I'm quick to befriend them. One of my first memories is actually getting my childhood dog. I've been taking care of my current dog for the last 3 years and I love her tremendously. I trained her completely and she is well behaved and friendly which I contribute to my background in applied behavioral analysis (ABA). I have experience caring for my friends' and neighbors' pets when they've been away. I ensure that they said and get the attention they deserve via walks, playtime, and some quality time with pets based on what they like. Animals have boundaries too and I like to ensure I respect them. Please reach out if you have any questions at all and I would love to care for your fur babies! I'm a graduate student work part-time so I have a good deal of flexibility. I am unavailable MWF 9am-1pm and T/TH 2pm-5pm. Beyond that, I am happy to work within our schedules to take care of your furry friends! Ultimately, I want to uphold what you would normally do to care for your pet. I know from my own experience my dog is very set in her routines and I wouldn't want to disturb that for your pets. If we have any outside time I am very attentive of surrounding and ensuring safety. I also make sure the pets don't get into trouble in the side by getting into anything laying around. I'm very used to taking dogs on walks, playing in the backyard, playing with toys in the house, and just chilling with pets and giving them some attention and some good head scratches!

“Morgan was amazing. Available last minute and took such good care of our pups. She cleaned up after my puppy, played with them and walked them! She definitely went above and beyond!!! I highly recommend her.”

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!
