Dog Walking Winterville

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.

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

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!

“Awesome job on such a short notice.”

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 currently work from home so if I’m boarding an animal I am available to walk them ever 1-2 hours for a small period of time before I have to go to get back to work. I would be home all day so I can give them so much affection and ensure they are feeling comfortable during their entire stay. I’m usually off at around 7 pm so after that I am available to go on long walks, play much more, take them to the park if it’s allowed and much much more! If I’m not boarding and it’s just a walk or a drop in or whichever service you need I am more than happy to put all my energy into this puppy!! I have too much energy from staying at home all day and plus, what better way to be more active than with animals!! When I’m caring for any pets I am very vigilant. Whether that be at my place or yours. I like to keep things clean so my house will be very organized and anything that they shouldn’t get into will be put away in a safe place. If your baby is staying with me I do have a cat. But she has grown up with dogs and I swear is more of a dog herself than she is a cat. If I’m at your home I am very respectful towards your home and your items. If anything comes up I will alert you immediately. You will find that I communicate very well and will send you tons of cute pictures of your baby when she is under my care

About: I have taken care of animals, my whole life. From hamsters, ducks, birds, turtles, fish, dogs, cats, and ferrets. I’m not afraid of any animal, but I respect that they are animals. I don’t mind cleaning up after them caring for them and spending time with them. My current situation keeps me home a lot of hours. I take care of my elderly mother. Reach out and see if we are a good fit. When caring for your pet in your house, I will try to stick to your routine as close as possible. If you leave me step-by-step instructions, I have no problem following them. Your pet comes to my home, they are welcome as one of our own.

About: I absolutely adore my furry babies! I have saved over 10 strays and got them loving and caring homes! I have lived with many as well! All breeds of dogs and cats! I am currently in college online asynchronous! I also am part time RBT! I will update my schedule according to my part time position! I can’t wait to meet your furry babies! I can easily crate a dog or cat if needed. I understand and learn their mannerisms pretty easily! I can easily learn and understand their diet and where they feel safest. I can also play with them as well.

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.

“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.”

“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 work remotely and can provide strong around the clock care to your furry family. I have paid experience watching dogs, cats, fish and crabs. I also frequently volunteer with barn animals. As I mentioned, I work remotely. I work 8am to 4:30 pm with two 15 minute breaks a day. This gives me the ability to have a constant eye on the pets I care for. I provide care by treating your animals as if they were my own. I can provide frequent pictures and updates. If your pet gets lonely or wants a play mate I have the ability to bring my dog Ben along. When I bring him with me I will ensure that he is up to date on all of his immunizations.

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.

“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.”

About: I grew up with dogs and love to play and take care of them! Between both of my parents we have 9 dogs! I have always been great with animals. I am currently a student-athlete at Hollins University. Between class, workouts, and other extra-curricular activities, I am looking for something flexible. I miss having my dogs with me and I figured pet care would be perfect! It gives me the flexibility I need while also allowing me to take care of someone’s furry friend! My dogs are always fed, played with, and happy! I am willing to do whatever needs to be done to make sure your furry friend is taken care of!

“Kiley was a lifesaver for us! Our usual dog sitter/walker couldn’t assist us and I was able to book Kiley on short notice. She went to our home and took exceptional care of our 7 month old Yorkie, Dash! I can’t say enough about how great she was with him. We received updates and photos which we were grateful for. Thank you Kiley! We look forward to booking you again soon. -John and Brianna”
