Dog Walkers in Alsop, VA

“My dog loves her! She is really patient and kind and definitely at one with dogs!❤️”

“Autumn is the best dog walker and takes such great care of my pup. She documents details from her walks, such as when my dog goes to the bathroom, which helps me know what to expect when I get home. She’s super reliable and lets me know well in advance when she has travel plans. She’s also super flexible if I need to change the schedule on short notice. She also brings in packages without me even asking. She’s the best!”

About: We provide care in our home and treat your babies like our own. We walk them multiple times a day, love on them, take them on field trips when possible, we spoil them rotten. We can help with crate training, potty training, house Manners etc. We have experience with Senior dogs ( most recent passed this December 2024 at 15 years old). I have had diabetic pets so am willing to administer meds as required. I have volunteered with a local rescue for 4 years now and have fostered for that long as well and have experience dealing with many difficult behaviors like resource guarding, counter surfing and more. Here at Bark n Kuddles we are a husband and Wife team so our dogs are very rarely alone. I teach high school so during the school day my husband takes the pups on walks, and outings and provides play time and snuggle time. When I am home we share the responsibilities and our kids are trained so they love on your babies too but they know boundaries and are very good at being mini pack leaders. The only time your pet would be alone is if we had to go somewhere as a family where dogs could not come but we have two pups of our own to keep them company but again that is rare that someone is not home. We only take one or two clients at a time as we have a small home but we take the dogs out on walks (Distance depends on the dogs need but could be 2 to 3 miles easily) and I have access to a big fenced in yard that my family owns should dogs need off leash time and play time (under our watch at all times of course). We do crate dogs when home alone for their safety and to protect the house but they get yummy kongs with frozen treats and other treats as long as owner is ok with it. We love on them how the pups want to be loved on. If they want to lay next to us we let them. If they prefer to just chill off to the side that's all good too. We also follow all owners instructions whether in our home or yours and give your baby the attention they need to keep them happy and safe while you are gone.

“Shyanne was so patient and kind with my dog Ronnie. She paid close attention to all the details and was so nice to talk to. I really appreciated the care she showed. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: I have an extnesive history caring for both dogs and cats. While I haven’t been booking through online platforms, I have years of personal and professional experience caring for and getting to know furry friends with a range of different personalities. These sometimes include those with extra needs due to attachment styles and/or medical accommodations. I believe that an animal's health benefits greatly from a loving caregiver, which is what I always strive to be for my clients. As someone with a passion for running and being on my feet, I am fully capable of giving more active dogs the exercise they deserve. If your pet needs a little extra love, I'm the sitter for you! I am currently working self-structured hours as a children’s book illustrator. Pet care is my main priority during my day-to-day, and I'm always excited when it's added to my daily or weekly schedule. I stay vigilant during walks, playtime, and mealtime to ensure the safety of your pet. If possible, I love to play with your pet during our time together, because they are my top priority and I know how much they miss you (as the owner of a very social, affectionate dog, I completely get it)!

I am very hard working and will dedicate all my attention to your pet and their care. I occasionally work from home and when I do, I would love to drop in and help out. I am free most weekends and can help out then too I like to do my best to earn your trust. I tend to send pictures while I am with your fur babies and all the fun they are having.

About: Hi! I’m home for the summer and excited to spend time doing something I love, caring for animals. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and I recently lost my own, which reminded me just how much animals mean to me. While I don’t have time for a full-time pet right now, I still stay involved by volunteering every week at a local animal shelter and helping care for the cat I live with at school. I also worked as a vet assistant for a year, so I’m experienced with pets of all ages and temperaments. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or anything in between, I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I gave my own. I’m currently taking an online summer course with a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the summer for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. Since I’m not working right now, I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I’m happy to help however I can! In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, so they stay comfortable and happy while you’re away. I make sure they get plenty of attention and care!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes and temperaments, thanks to my dad being a military dog handler. From an early age, I learned the importance of structure, trust, and attentive care.

I'm comfortable giving medications, managing multiple pets, and adapting to each pet's unique needs and routine. Whether your dog is big, small, shy, or high-energy, I’m confident, calm, and always focused on safety, comfort, and fun! I’m available for pet care on Friday nights and throughout the weekends, including overnight stays. This schedule allows me to give your pets my full attention and care when you need it most.

About: I have always had cats and dogs since I was a child, I currently own two cats with my boyfriend. I have a wide array of experience with animals including nine years of horseback riding, raising three litters of bottle baby kittens successfully, caring for my own special needs senior cat with advanced heart disease and stomatitis, as well as dog sitting regularly for four years! I have worked with bloodhounds, poodle mixes, boxers, as well as yorkie mixes. I fostered animals for SPCA for a year in 2019 before the pandemic, through them I worked with a multitude of cats in my home and enjoyed the process of advocating for, as well as finding forever homes for all of my foster babies. Additionally, I volunteered at a veterinary clinic for about a year in high school through a work program that my school offered, through this experience as well as my personal experience with my special needs baby I feel extremely comfortable with animals with medical needs. I am currently a full time student, and my schedule changes every semester. As of today, (07/15/2025) I am on summer break and am available every weekday. During a drop in visit, I will spend a few minutes tending to your animals. If there are toys available, I am happy to spend this time playing, or just chilling giving some good snuggles until it’s time to go. As an owner of a runner myself, I am fairly confident in my abilities to keep your escape artists indoors!

About: I own three dogs and all have been super happy and healthy! I also aspire to be a veterinarian and have had two years of experience working in a hands on vet class where we walked, examined, and groomed dogs! I am currently working a part time job so I will be fitting in walks based on my schedule which can be random so that’s why a have a two day advance for scheduling walks! My whole family takes care of my dogs so I am used to the frequent going out and taking dogs outside! I am very aware of the heat being a potential hazard during walks so I will always make sure to have water on me as I do for walking my own dogs. As well as making sure they get nice breaks in the shade and moments to rest! I also like to carry a paw and nose balm on me made either natural ingredients to put on their paws after walks since the heat and pavement can make their paws pretty dry and sometimes crack which could cause them so discomfort!

About: Each pet has their own personality and style and I adapt to exactly what your pets needs and wants. If they want cuddles, they get cuddles. If they want space they get space. It’s all about precious pets needs for me. I provided a 5 star service. My aim is to please and keep them happy. I currently have two dogs of my own and a cat. You can rest assured that if your pets are in my care they will be well-loved and taken care of!
