I have a passion for animals and I have 4 fur babies of my own and a bearded dragon. I truly believe humans don’t deserve dogs/cats, pets in general. I’d love to have fur babies to walk as a job! Your fur babies will definitely be safe and sound with me!See Profile

Hi, I'm Shelby and I've been working with animals professionally for fifteen years. I have experience in dog daycares, grooming shops, training and boarding facilities. I currently work full time at an animal shelter. I'm calm and patient with shy or anxious pets (but have no trouble handling the high energy pups, too!) I also have experience caring for cats and small pets. I'm experienced in giving meds and preparing special diets if needed. I will provide reports after each visit and of course, lots of pictures for the pet parent. They'll be treated just like my own pets during their time with me. Please let me know how I can best help you and your pet while you're away!See Profile

I’ve always had a love for animals and enjoy giving them attention and care. I’ve accidentally made a career from friends calling me to house & pet sit as I'm thorough with providing updates, sending pictures/videos, playing with and love cuddling animals too. I’ve recently added behavioral and dog training to my skills. I love power walking, so rest assured that your dogs will be exercised if they enjoy and/or require it as well. I cannot wait to assist you with all of your dog walking needs!See Profile

I love animals so much. Having raised and cared for dogs my whole life it's been hard after moving out and not having a dog of my own at home. To help relive some of my old memories I thought I'd try dog walking. I love just going to park and walking around while playing games like fetch.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!
