Activity Report After Every Walk
In 1970, Cary was called Bradford’s Ordinary. The founder of the town, Allison Francis "Frank" Page, made a purchase of all surrounding railroad junctions in 1854. Frank Page ended up naming the development 'Cary' after a former Ohio Congressmen and prohibitionist he likened, Samuel Fenton Cary. Surviving its railroad roots, the city is now known as the Technology Town of North Carolina since over 97% of the citizens have access to the internet.
One of the largest municipal parks in Wake County is Fred G. Bond Metro Park or "Bond Park." Bond Park is a 310-acre park with athletic fields, an amphitheater, and a playground. Dogs are welcome. If you're dropping in be sure to bring Rover for a walk along the lake or hike on their trails. If he gets tired, don't worry, there’s a drinking fountain in the area to keep him hydrated. Bring your dog for a walk with Nature at the Hemlock Bluffs Nature Preserve. You can enjoy some outdoor activities that can vary from bird and wildlife watching, nature and historical exhibits or a simple walk on their trails with Rover while watching the scenic beauty of nature. Other than being a family-oriented, green city, Cary also has plenty of restaurants, parks, hotels and business centers that welcome pets. No wonder it was included in Money Magazine’s Best Places to Live list for 2006.

Northwoods/ Buckherst is a small, dog-friendly neighborhood close to the downtown area of Cary, which features wide streets, sidewalks and access to the Northwoods Greenway for a hiking adventure. It is also home to the Cary Dog Park at Robert V. Godbold Park. This fenced, off-leash 1-acre park offers separate areas for smaller and quieter dogs, and their larger, more boisterous counterparts. It’s open until 10 p.m., and provides lights for those night owl growlers and their humans, as well as water, waste receptacles and bags, benches and a gazebo. Owners need to obtain a municipal pass for entry to the dog park, and show proof of rabies vaccination. This neighborhood is also home to 2 dog-friendly restaurants. The Lucky Chicken serves Peruvian fare, while Noodle Boulevard offers noodle and rice bowls, kimchi and other Asian street food. Both offer outdoor tables that welcome your pup!

Carpenter is a pleasant residential neighborhood that abuts Carpenter Park, a 16-acre open space that features several short trails and a community garden, along with a playground. This park has a central pond with an earthen dam, a large play lawn area for running and fetching, as well as a terraced lawn. As with all Cary city parks, dogs are welcome if well-behaved.

I grew up on a farm with all kinds of animals and have had a variety of pets over the years. My family bred Rottweilers while I was growing up so I have experience loving animals at all stages of life. I do not currently own a pet so that opens up my availability and eagerness to love your pets! I am an extremely active person and am here to assist you in all of your pet needs. I have experience with rescue animals as well as animals with behavioral and or health issues. I dedicate myself to care for your pets as I would my own!
All my life I have grown up with 1 or more dogs in my family at a time. I have cared for dogs of all sizes and different breeds. I have had friends and families dog stay with me and also stayed at their home when requested. I currently love and care for two pups of my own. I look forward to taking care of your dog!
"Thank you so much for taking such great care of Jersey this week! I knew she was in great hands ☺️ you’ll definitely be my first pick when we need someone again!"
"First time user. Loved it. Saw pictures of my sweet Taco having fun while I was at work. Love the service. Dayana was wonderful!!!"
"Addie loves her dog walker and she is so trustworthy and always communicates well"
"Dylan was great! He sent videos of Kona during her walk and took her over a mile and a half. "
"Thanks Dylan! I appreciate your enthusiasm working with my pup! It sounds like he loves his time with you!"
"Dylan was fantastic walking my two this week. He provided so many videos and kindly updated me while I was traveling. He was flexible with timing when I asked and made me feel so comfortable while I was gone!"
"Dylan walked our pup very well and on time! He got in some good mileage and even fed him lunch for us. Will try to get Dylan again!"
"Dylan was great. I was on the phone when he arrived. I had neglected to leave a key as I specified on the site. He rang the door bell and politely asked for olive (he texted but I didn't answer). He sent me Many updates and videos of my baby! I've used about 7 walkers now and he is #1 although I haven't had a "bad" walker, olive just seemed to take to him very quickly. She goes with anyone, and has always taken to all the wag walkers, but for whatever reason olive walked right out the door to meet him and off on the walk and didn't look back! Super happy with Dylan. A definite recommended wag walker for those who are unsure. "
"John was great, he was fully aware that my dog was a handful and dealt with my lovely boy regardless. My dog was riddled with worms and parvovirus as a baby, and made it through, when the owners weren't taking obvious care of him I stepped in a few months ago, and he had no manners at all. He's doing a lot better and John made the process easy, and I will defiantly be using him again. Thanks John! "
"Dylan was so patient with both me and Buddy! I've never used a dog walker before, and Buddy has never had someone he doesn't know come into the house without me there. I definitely hope to use Dylan again!"
