Reliable Dog Walker & Pet Sitter Extraordinaire
Serving MDR and Beyond
About

Hi, I'm Lynn Carter. I'm an actor, neighbor and your pet's new best friend. After 20+ years as an Executive in Tech, I left the corporate world to pursue my dreams — you'll catch me on screen or hear me in commercials, TV and film. But most importantly, you'll see me running lines with your dog as we get our steps in — or getting notes from your cat. I take care of each pet as if they were my own and have many repeat clients. I'm trustworthy, reliable and communicate in detail all the adventures I have with your pet.

What sets us apart from the pack?

At Need Walks, I'm passionate about taking care of your furry friends — offering reliable, loving, concierge-level pet care, including one-on-one dog walking, pet sitting, and check-ins. I love taking fun pictures and videos (your phone's camera roll is about to get a lot cuter) and sharing our adventures along the way. I prioritize their exercise, companionship, and care — because every pet deserves the full adventure.

Walks & Check-Ins

Whether it's a quick potty break or an extended adventure, I offer up to 15, 30, or 60-minute walks tailored to your dog's energy and needs — with the option to add running to burn off some steam. Not every pet needs a walk. My check-in visits are perfect for cats, senior pets, or anyone who just needs a little company, feeding, or medication managed while you're away.

Hangs & Overnights

From a few hours to a full overnight, I offer flexible sitting at your place or mine — whether it's a quick hang, a half day, or an extended stay. Your pet gets personalized, one-on-one care and love the whole time, so they feel right at home even when you're not. And if you're heading out of town for a while, the discounted rate kicks in after night five — so longer trips don't have to mean a bigger worry.

Custom Care

Every pet's needs are different — behaviors and reactivity, special feeding schedules, medications and recovery, senior pets, multi-pet households — I tailor every plan around what they actually need. Reactive, anxious, food-motivated, or just a little weird — we've all got our quirks! Whatever your pet's story, I'll take the time to learn it before day one.

Don't Just Take My Word For It

No script, no notes — just real feedback

"We needed a long-term sitter for our dog while we were getting married in Europe, and Lynn was a true savior — she did more than just take care of Maisie, she made her part of her day with playtime, walks, and much-needed rest. When we need a sitter again, there's only one person I'm calling."
