Dog Walkers in Dayton, VA

“Catherine has been taking our large pup on walks a few days per week and it’s been such tail wagging fun! Thanks for the adventures and care, Catherine!”

“Ana was great! She took care to get to know our dogs and when our senior got sick during the appointment, she reached out right away and let me know what was going on so I could make the right decisions. Both pups seemed happy and well cared for when we returned. Would absolutely book again!”

“Morgan has been my go-to sitter for the past 6 years. The fact that I can trust Morgan with my two small dogs, even in their old age, has been such a blessing. 10/10!”

“Megan is a very organized and clean person who will make sure your pet has a safe environment to stay in while you are away. She is very responsible and never forgets her tasks for the day. I would trust her 100% taking care of any of my future pets and know they will be in great loving care.”

“Kat is the most caring, loving, and compassionate person I’ve ever seen with pets. I would trust her to take care of mine any day!”

“Jesse has really helped us out with Lucy, and has been able to handle her perfectly. Love his attention to any potential concerns and relay information about her walks. He has also been accommodating when we’ve needed short-notice visits.”

About: I have decades of animal care experience, working with cats, dogs, and multiple other species. I currently own and operate a rabbitry. I have worked at multiple dog kennels, including free run facilities, and have worked at the SPCA and the Virginia zoo in Norfolk, Virginia. Let me know what your needs are, and we will see if I can accommodate your needs, as my schedule is very open and flexible. My pet care is very custom tailored to your needs and your pet’s needs, let me know what you need and what your pet prefers. I have 4 dogs that stay exclusively in the back part of the home and have access to the backyard. Doggies I am sitting stay exclusively in the front part of the home and have access to the front yard, so there is non interaction between my dogs. My dogs are friendly with other dogs but this arrangement just makes it easier and more comfortable for yours = )

About: I've provided care for cats and dogs ranging from kitten and puppy to senior. I've been walking and doing daily in-home visits for several years, as well as taking care of my own animals. I also have experience with lizards and rabbits. I work part-time, so I'm flexible and have more open availability. I'm usually avaliable on short notice and can make earlier morning or later evening visits or extended visits during vacations. I'm happy to follow any care instructions you may have, including crating or other special considerations. I'm fine administering meds and also have some experience with wound care.

“Had Paula babysit my golden retriever for a couple days and my dog was crying when she left!! Such a good sitter and definitely will be hiring again!!”

“Abby has been taking care of my dogs for the past few years when I go away and they always get so excited to see her! She leaves the house better than it was before and treats my dogs like her own. I’d reccomend her to anyone!”

“Lydia did a great job walking Zorro. Zorro came back from his walk feeling happy and tired!”

About: I have tons of personal experience coming from a dog loving family, and I have also spent time volunteering at local shelters! I will adjust myself to fit your dog’s temperament and personality to ensure the best possible experience for them. I love hiking, walking, playing all types of sports, and I will gladly give your fur babies all of the exercise and cuddles they want. I have 2 dogs of my own, a senior dachshund mix and a Great Dane with anxiety. You can be guaranteed I will love any animal as it’s my own <3 I work 7pm-3am on Saturday, and 6pm-1am Sunday through Tuesday. I have class 9:30am-12:30pm on Tuesday and Thursday. Aside from that, I am pretty open and I will do my best to fit in walks when needed! I am really comfortable with all dogs and cats, so I have no problem tending to any special needs or those that may just need extra time. My own dog has anxiety and I understand the need for patience, comfort, and love around new people or environments. I’ll be happy to follow any special instructions and/or training habits that you would like for your pets. I tend to carry a treat pouch for the sake of training, distractions, and trust building if that’s something you would be okay with, I of course would not give anything unwanted. I am open to any questions you may have to see if I’m a good fit!

“Lauren would be a great pet caregiver. She has watched my dogs for me multiple times when I have had to leave town. She loves pets and loves to take care of them.”

“Anna would be a wonderful addition to your staff of pet sitters and dog walkers. She not only loves our four legged friends and spending time with them but she is reliable and can be trusted with a family's pet. She pays attention to detail and will be in tune with the individual needs of each pet. She will be attentive to each animal in her care and will be a reliable employee for your service. I highly recommend Anna Plessing to you.”

“Abby has watched our pups on more than one occasion. We love Abby and so do our pups. She is very attentive, gives them love and attention while we are away. She feeds them, plays with them and gives them their potty breaks. She communicated with us and gave us updates on how they are doing. We highly recommend Abby!!!”

“Kendall was great with Poppy! She was always on time and spent the full allotted time or longer with our pup! I always trusted she was safe and got all her energy out during their walks together. You can tell she has a passion for pets and would definitely recommend!”

“I highly recommend Alyssa as a pet sitter/dog walker. Alyssa loves animals. She is hard working, responsible, caring, kind,dedicated and reliable. She we will treat your pets as if they were her own. Pet sitting and dog walking has been her job while she is home from college. Also willing to take a job on short notice.”

About: I am a social worker by trade, and currently I am professor at two local colleges. I also write books and and do photography. I specialize in social psychology and I am intuitive to human and animal needs. As mentioned, I am an adjunct professor, write, and do photography. As such I have free time to care for your pet daily and at various times. I have always cared for my pets like family (and some may argue a little better, lol). I have a SUV and know different locations to walk your pet, or I can walk them locally. I also love cats and can spend time in your home playing with with them and the infamous red dot or other toys. I am also familiar with all types of animals and can care for your farm animals and other in door animals.
