Dog Walkers in Boyce, VA

“We are so happy we found Kiley! Not only is she doing a great job with our dog, she's also able to work with our ever changing schedule. Thank you!”

“Kimberly is so so sweet and makes sure that my two dogs are well taken care of. She always updates me on when she is going over to take care of them, what they did while she was with them, and always provides cute pictures of them! She is very responsive and professional, I would definitely recommend using her!”

“Charlotte was AMAZING with Beau! Every morning, he got so excited when it was almost time for his walk with her! She sent pictures every day and has a great compassion for her clients. Highly recommend! Will definitely use her services in the future!”

About: I owned a dog since she was a puppy in 2004 until she passed away in 2015. Since then I have owned cats, fostered many dogs, which led to me foster failing and keeping Kuvira! I more recently adopted my puppy Misa and rescued my other dog Sterling. My current cats are all rescues, some of them were even born in my backyard. I have raised most of them from kittens so I’m used to spending a lot of time with cats, scooping litter, cleaning up hairballs, and taking time to earn cats trust! I've stayed overnight with a pet while the owner is away short or long term, I've done drop-ins for feeding/letting dogs out to use the restroom, and longer walks. I have dealt with dogs of all ages from young puppies to elder animals. I'm willing to work with special needs or disabled dogs as well, and it's my goal to bond with the dogs I care for so they are comfortable and happy. I want both the pet and owners to trust me to do the best I can. I have experience giving medication (oral and injections), I have previously worked as a manager for a dog daycare and was employed at an animal shelter. I am confident in my ability to handle animals with care and read their body language when interacting. Pet safety and happiness are my priorities. My current group is a handful and one of my dogs in particular struggles with anxiety and reactivity, so if your dog has similar behavioral issues don't worry! I am used to reactivity and am willing to learn all about your dog and how to handle certain behaviors. I am an apprentice at a tattoo shop right now, so I’m mostly available in the mornings, evenings and nights. I am more than happy to figure out how to meet your pets needs. My home is a little chaotic with 3 dogs and 6 cats. I don't currently offer boarding or daycare from my home but I hope to in the future! My house is divided up using gates to keep dogs in areas I can supervise them. The cat litter boxes are in a room the dogs cannot get to and the cats have plenty of vertical places to climb away from the dogs. I make sure to show each animal individualized attention throughout the day, and I would do the same with a client's pet!

About: I’ve had pets since a young age and they’ve always been family. Being the dad of a 5 year old Bernedoodle, I’m more than comfortable around needy pups. I pet most all dogs I run into (much to the chagrin of friends in a rush). I’m the guy in the corner with the dogs at a party. I work remote and have a flexible schedule. Last minute or weeks in advance, I’m happy to help. Living in a home with 3 dogs total, I’m the one they tend to gather around. I’m meticulous about care for my Bailey, so I’d be the same for your baby. Between walks, fetch, play time and other interests, I’m more than just “the guy that pops in.”

About: I absolutely love love LOVE caring for animals! Growing up i always had many dogs over the years as well as other animals, this made me form a deep love for our four legged friends! I have years of experience with caring for animals, as well as years of experience being a dog groomer! Because of my years of experience in caring for animals as well as grooming, i am comfortable with any and every breed. Im well informed on most breeds and very responsible with giving updates, pictures and answering any and every question you may have. Your fur-baby will be very well taken care of with lots and lots of love and attention! Thank you reading and i cannot wait to meet you and your lovely pet! Have a blessed day❤️ I am a stay at home mom with alot of time on my hands… alot more than i would like. Im looking to fill the gaps in my day with some new furry friends! Im always very carful with opening/closing doors as some dogs like to bolt! I like to make the dog feel comfortable and work based on the comfort level of the dog. Trust is a huge deal so i also try my best to follow the exact instructions given to me while caring for any animal (as long as it is safe for me and the pet)

“The daily reports and photos are very much appreciated and very reassuring that all is well with my two pups. Melissa leaves a thorough report and makes sure that the dogs have exercise and are well looked after. I am very happy with the service she provides.”

“Very reliable and flexible scheduling! Responds quickly too.”

“Carter was wonderful with Lily. He was quickly available and responsive. He took her out and gave an update of her activities. Very polite and responsible.”

“Ian took very good care of our dog psi”

“Amazing dog walker and sitter. Stayed with my golden retriever for a week while at the beach in my house and was amazing. She followed all her dietary restrictions, took her on many walks, and even took her to the dog park several times to hang out with her friends. She is very punctual, eager to help, and very reliable. She truly went above and beyond for me and my dog, and even came and met her beforehand so myself, and my dog felt super comfortable with her. I will be using her again for any future vacations or absences, I will be taking.”

“Steven does a great job of housesitting for our many pets! He gives lots of love and cuddles to the dogs. Siren sits at the door when he comes and then runs for him. I know he brushes Ebony because he leaves a bit of hair left behind. But that's ok because the dogs are constantly shedding, and brushing is something I seem to forget. He's taken care of our rabbits, including cleaning cages, feeding them, putting them outside, (and bringing them in) and they always look healthy and well fed when we get home. He's even had experience feeding our Gecko and the Russian Tortoise. (and the bearded dragon, guinea pigs, and hamsters when they were part of our family zoo!)”

“Margaret is the best! She takes such good care of our pups and she is really good about communication. Every time we leave our dogs in her hands, I know I can trust that they will be safe and cared for. With our busy schedule we can’t always walk our dogs enough and it’s also nice that Margaret can feed/let them out if we are away for the day. We can always tell when our dogs have been walked really well because they sleep so soundly at night afterwards. I would definitely recommend Margaret!”

About: I have worked in pet care/home care for over a decade! I work as a dog walker for a company in Berryville, and I also work as a groomer for a Newfoundland Breeder with show dogs. I have had experience as a vet technician as well! I am comfortable will all types of dogs and would love to meet yours❤️ I provide daily dog walking services and breaks, in home boarding or house sitting. Dog walking and pet care is more then simply providing the basics, I appreciate the trust that owners give when having someone provide care for there beloved animals. Respect, genuine love, trust and a building relationship goes into each pet a care for. Pet care is full time for me, and I am available weekly and in the weekends. My schedule is generally flexible and I can usually accommodate even last min requests. However I do occasionally have a fully scheduled week and any house sitting or dog sitting requests would be easier to schedule with a couple weeks notice. I do not currently have a fenced in yard, but I provide walks and potty breaks by walking on a leash as needed. I live close to 2 dog park’s and I love to take them there to burn off energy ( as long as dog parks are not an overwhelming experience and the owner agrees it is ok to visit one ), I also enjoy bringing them along as a running and hiking buddy on the several nature trails near me. If I am watching a pet in their own home, I will just keep up with the normal routine as stated by the owner, and of course always check with you to make sure any new activities we try are ok
