Professional Animal Lover, at Your Pet’s Service!

As the owner and founder of Walter’s Walks Pet Sitting & Dog Walking, I have always had a deep affection for animals, from dogs and cats to horses and iguanas. After relocating to Leland, NC in 2019, I transitioned from the world of being a gymnastics coach to a profession more in line with my passion—animal care.

Inspired by a local advertisement for pet services, I found my calling in dog walking and pet care. Over a wonderful 3 ½ year tenure, I not only honed my skills but also earned my Pet CPR, First Aid, and Fear Free Professional Certifications, in addition to becoming a lead pet sitter, dog walker, and assitant manager to the company.

When the company I worked for closed in October 2022, I saw an opportunity to fill the void by launching Walter’s Walks, a boutique dog walking and cat care service in Leland.

Walter was our precious baby boy you see pictured with me, and has since crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. I wanted to honor him, so what better way than to name the company after him.

Our goal is to provide premier pet care services, offering support to busy pet owners who require help with routine walks, important potty breaks, and nurturing engagement with their beloved fur babies.

At Walter’s Walks, we aim to foster a network of trusted pet care providers, putting community over competition. Our objective extends beyond just pet sitting and dog walking; we collaborate with groomers, trainers, vets, and pet stores to deliver well-rounded services to our pet parent community.
