Hi, my name is Jessie! I am originally from New Bern, NC. I moved to Cary after I graduated college. I graduated from the Veterinary Medical Technology Program at Central Carolina Community College in May 2018, where I earned my Associates in Applied Science. I have been a Veterinary Technician for the last 2 years. I grew up with dogs and cats. I currently have 3 dogs. Indi (4yr Pit mix), Grizzly (2yr Miniature Dachshund) and Mako (2yr Great Dane). I also have 1 cat, Phoenix (2yr Domestic Shorthair). I have had a love for animals ever since I could remember. My background in veterinary medicine has allowed me to gain the knowledge and experience to work with animals of different temperament...See Profile

I started with the Wag! dog walking app about 3 years ago. Gained a lot of experience, crazy stories and over 900 5 Star Reviews from happy pet-owners. Joined a local company, Four Paws, and helped them expand into the Garner/Clayton area. I picked up a few "private" clients who prefer to only work with me without a service in the middle. Insured and bonded. Constantly learning new techniques for training and habit correction to provide that extra level of service. All the basics like water and food and locking doors and respecting your home are implicit in the trust we share. Disclaimer: Your dog may end up liking me more than you so don't be disheartened lol.See Profile

I've had dogs as pets for the past 19 years and have walked dogs professional for the past 9 months. I'm a big fan of rescue dogs. I normally walk dogs in Raleigh and Cary. I currently have a rescue named Bella...she's family and I'll treat your family member like they are part of my family. I will care for your dog and keep them safe. I've got over 600 dog walks under my belt.See Profile

I'm a 19 year old college student who loves animals and has had them my entire life. In general pets seem to like me upon our first meeting, and I'm capable of following any instructions given to me. I live in a wonderful area for dog walking so I have plenty of experience with it. I currently own a small dog and a budgie and they're both very well cared for.See Profile

Hi! I’m Jasmine and I’m 22 years old! I love my animal friends and meeting new ones! I love puppy play with toys and getting energy out, learning tricks for treats, snuggle time while they have their puppy dreams and everything else in between! Its very difficult for animals to spend time with new people while their hooman is away, so I like to scratch that as soon as possible to make sure we get the most fun out of our day! I have a husky/chocolate lab mixture, and soon adding a sweet miniature dachshund into my family! Thank you for checking out my profile and I hope to meet you and your furry friends soon!See Profile

Raleigh, North Carolina is known as the City of Oaks due to the Oak trees that line the streets of the city. Barkly dog walkers love strolling down the shady streets of the city, hitting up Pullen Park, or checking out the trails at Lake Johnson. With so many dog-friendly shops and restaurants, Raleigh is a great place to raise a pup. Download the Barkly Pets app to get started.
The most popular breed in Raleigh is the Rhodesian Ridgeback. This city has more dog walks with Rhodesian Ridgebacks than any other breed.
Raleigh has a low amount of greenery compared to pavement. This area’s parkland compared to overall area is low. A greener canopy for cities improves the quality of dog walks for both the dogs and dog walkers.

Raleigh ranks #68 in the top 100 U.S. cities for parks per 100,000 residents, per the 2019 ParkScore. More parks in any given city means more squirrels to chase!
How can I book a walk in Raleigh?
Download our app or create an account from our website. Once logged in, select "Book a Walk." Add in the dates you need on the next screen and select the duration and time you'd like us to arrive. Select or add the pet's you'd like us to walk on the next screen, and add in any important tasks you'd like for your walker to complete. It's as simple as that!
Can I meet a walker before booking with them?
Yes! All our meet and greets are complementary and free of charge. You can browse through profiles and read our walker bios by tapping on "See Local Caretakers" on the homescreen. When you find a walker who seems like a good match, you will request a Meet and Greet with them to set up a time for a meeting. You can also opt to have us match you with a professional walker. Walkers will start reaching out to you as early as the same day you request the Meet and Greet.
What are the prices for dog walks in Raleigh?
Our dog walkers set their own prices for 30 minute and 60 minute walks. Browse their profiles in the app or on our website to find the walker with the right experience and rates for you and your dog.
Can I have the same walker each time I book?
We believe the best experience for your dog is a consistent walker, and when you book with Barkly, you will book with the same walker. If that walker is unavailable, you’ll have the option to cancel the walk or request that we send a backup walker.
Do I get to see the route my walker takes on the walk?
You will be able to track each walk route in the app so you know precisely where your dog was walked. All visits are also followed up with detailed notes and pictures from the walker, so you know exactly how each visit went. Additionally, we offer 24/7 live customer support, so if you ever need anything, we are always here happy to help!
