Spending time with doggies is one of my very favorite things to do. I love the fun and simplicity of a stroll with a dog, and getting to know each dog’s distinct vibe. Dogs always bring a smile to my face and as corny as it may sound, I want to show them how much I appreciate them!!

Hi! I've always been a dog person, growing up with at least one dog and a couple cats in the house at all times. I'm happiest when there's a few dogs around! I did pet sitting and dog walking for neighbors in middle and high school, and I'm really good with shy and aggressive dogs (lots of patience!). haven't done wag in a while but walked dozens of dogs in Seattle last year. I hope to meet some of your good boys and girls soon!

I’m Courtney. I’m finishing up at NC State this summer and studied human biology. I’ve always loved dogs and even volunteered at a shelter called Juliet’s House in Greensboro, NC. They’re a non-kill shelter who provide homes, food, and medical care to any animals that need rescuing. My family has a yellow lab, Bailey, who is now 11 years old. I’ve also pet sat many times before.

I have been caring for dogs and cats for about 15 years. When I was 14, I started my own pet-sitting business within the apartment complex I lived in. Since then, I have had the pleasure of working at various doggie daycares and boarding centers, grooming shops, and training facilities. I love ALL breeds and I believe in forming a gentle and trusting bond with the dogs I encounter. Your dog will receive lots of love and attention in my care!

Dog Walking in Oak Island
With miles and miles of sandy beaches, Oak Island is the pawfect destination for a relaxing vacation with the entire family. Feel free to bring your four-legged members, too, for this seaside town is quite pet-friendly! There is one animal hospital looking after the island's furry residents and visitors, so you can have a worry-free time while you're in town.
Oak Island will set any beach-loving pup's tail a-wagging, because dogs are welcome on the island's beaches all year round—what a treat! And with 65 public access points, it's easy to head down to the water just about anytime, anywhere. Just remember that canine beachgoers must be leashed at all times during the tourist season, and always pick up after your pooch to help keep Oak Island's beaches clean!
If your dog's not a fan of the sand, head over to the Hannon A. Templeton Park, where you'll find a small, fenced-in dog park where Fido can go off-leash and run off his excess energy. The Templeton Park also houses some of the oldest live oak trees on the island, making it a puptastic spot to go for a relaxing stroll among nature with your best pal.
Experience the quiet side of the Brunswick Islands with your pup on Oak Island!
