Dog Walking Arrowhead

“Amy is the best! She is amazing with my dog who isn’t the easiest. She found a loose dog during one of her check-ins with us and even helped that dog/made sure it got to the right people and then spent extra time with mine. 💕”

“Grace has been a God send. I am new to Rover, but after meeting her my anxiety lessened & then after the immediate updates & pictures I know Lula is in good hands. There aren't enough words to describe Grace & how much she is helping me. I highly recommend her!”

“Emil is a great dog walker for our needs. We rely on him daily, and never disappoints or doesn't show up. He is a great communicator and is upfront on what he can do. We will continue to book Emil in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet person who grew up with a whole host of cats and dogs. I love all pets but my favorites are big dogs and old cats — I have a 21 year old cat and a French Mastiff back home. My background as a teacher, nanny, house manager, and personal assistant means I’m reliable, organized, and great at keeping routines smooth. I’m happy to share references and I love meet & greets to make sure it’s a perfect fit. Can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! My law school classes start in the late morning and are spread throughout the day, which gives me flexibility for morning visits, midday check-ins, and walks. For clients in Charlottesville, I’m able to come back to the home between classes, so pets aren’t left alone for long stretches. When I care for pets in your home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, relaxed, and never feeling alone. I spend time with them in common spaces so they can get used to me. If they’re comfortable, I let pets sleep in my room at night so they don’t feel lonely or miss their owners too much. Safety is a top priority for me—I never take dogs outside a fenced yard without a leash, even if they’re well trained, and I’m very careful with doors and entryways (I know all the kitty-proof tricks to prevent curious cats from sneaking out). I enjoy playing with pets who are able, I’m very clean and tidy, quick to handle messes, and I treat your home with care. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away.

About: I've always had dogs in my home growing up and love nothing more than our furry best friends. While my current life doesn't allow me to have a pet of my own, I would love to help connect with and take care of yours! I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds from the smallest puppy to the sweetest senior. Plus, as a photographer, I'll be happy to send lots of pics of your pet while I'm caring for them! My schedule fluctuates depending on the time of year, but I will keep my availability updated on my profile. I am best suited to assisting with midday walks or short petsitting stays. My apartment has plenty of space for your pet to roam as well as a 16,000 square foot fenced in dog park right outside my front door. If I'm house-sitting for you, my goal is to keep your pets happy in their own environment and space.

“Abby was great. Came over the week before to meet my dogs. She came over on time to play with the dogs in the backyard (it was too hot for a mid-day walk). The dogs looked happy in the pics and were happy when we arrived back home!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, hermit crabs, and more. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to feel confident and comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routine. I’d love the opportunity to get to know you and your pets and provide them with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I work as a swim coach currently so I’m looking for supplemental work, but I am decently flexible and can make time multiple times throughout the day to care for your animals! I am very responsible and understand that your pet is like an extension of family. I have two cats of my own & they are like my children. I pride myself in creating a safe, loving, & playful environment for your pet!

About: I’ve cared for dogs with the energy of a horse and horses with the personality of a dog! Whether your dog loves to run for miles or prefers a more relaxed pace, I’m equipped to meet their needs. I understand that every dog is unique, and I provide personalized care to ensure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away. You can count on me to give your four-legged friend the attention they deserve! As a student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend the day with your pup! Whether your dog needs a run to burn off energy or a leisurely walk, I’m happy to accommodate their preferences. I’ll make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. You can trust that your pet will be well taken care of, no matter what their energy level is! When I care for your pet in your home, I prioritize their comfort, security, and routine. I will follow any specific instructions you’ve provided, from feeding schedules to playtime preferences, ensuring that their environment remains consistent while you’re away. I’ll make sure they have plenty of attention, whether that’s through walks, playtime, or simply being there for cuddles. I’ll also take care of basic tasks around the house like bringing in mail, adjusting lights, or making sure everything looks as it should, so you can feel confident knowing your pet and home are in good hands. Your pet will be treated with love and respect, just as I would with my own!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats, and have a history of taking care of pets for friends and family. I have 7+ years of farm animal experience as well! I feel comfortable with a range of temperaments, ages, and levels of care :) I have a flexible M-F 9-5, so pet care normally looks like walks and sitting outside of that time. Occasionally I have more ability to care during the work week. Mostly, I walk or house sit pets. Care normally includes play, walks, feeding and watering, litter box cleaning, and any special medications/needs. I love to take dogs on long walks on the trails :)

About: I’ve been taking care of family, friends, and neighbors pets since I was 10 years old. I’ve taken care of animals of all ages from puppies to senior animals. I work at a school, so this is not my full time job. It would be best to contact me directly for my availability and to figure out what works best for you and your pet(s). I prefer to do meet and greets so I can see the pet(s) usual environment and learn more about where I’ll be staying. I never take pets outside without a leash on for safety reasons.

About: I am comfortable with all kinds of dogs and needs. I personally care for a GSD and a Heeler mix, and am comfortable with rambunctious and large dogs. Both of my dogs practice loose leash walking, and I love using our walks as time to tire their brains as well as their bodies. I can give medications, including subq and other injections. And I’m working on becoming a certified trainer, but for now I do not offer training services. I work a few part time gigs that change with the seasons. I have lots of flexibility to meet the needs of your pets. I generally do not go out of town during major holidays. I have lived on estates as a property manager, and ran my own home repair business for several years. I’m good at handling emergencies, and enjoy fixing things when I have the opportunity

About: I grew up with cats and have helped taken care of my senior cat as well. I also am a volunteer at the local spca I just finished my graduate program at UVA so I have lots of free time to care for and play with your pups and cats!! I have lots of experience house sitting as well. My main goal is to take care of your pet and also your home! My hope is that your house looks exactly the same as when you left it!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. I am a big animal lover so your pet would be in good hands. They will get a lot of attention, exercise, and love. I am fully able to take care of your pet 7 days a week and all daytime hours. I am available from 6am to 10pm. I can provide a leash if needed and walk only on sidewalks, paths, trails or take them to a nearby park. Safety is my highest priority.

About: Hi! I’m Ovi. I’ve been caring for animals for over 18 years, and it’s truly one of my greatest joys. Animals have always held a very special place in my heart, and one day, my partner and I hope to create an animal sanctuary of our own. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and in-home pet sitting. I’m reliable, communicative, and attentive to each animal’s unique personality and needs. When I’m not caring for animals, I love horseback riding, herbalism, movement, watching Marvel or Studio Ghibli movies, and spending time in nature. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members 🤍 Pet care fits into my routine very naturally. It really depends on the week as my schedule has flexibility built in, so I’m able to accommodate a variety of needs. Feel free to book or send a request with your preferred dates and we can go from there! Keeping your pet safe is my first priority. I consistently follow necessary protocol such as checking fence gates before letting your dog outside, locking doors, making sure I don’t step outside without a key, and doing a final check that things are in order before leaving your home. My preference is to leave your home in a better condition than when I found it.

“Michael was a breeze to schedule with, very flexible and considerate!! Mickey had a great time and was well cared for, would definitely recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover and offer a safe, calm, and thoughtful home environment for boarding. I take a lot of care in how I work with dogs because I know how much trust it takes to leave them with someone new. My goal is to make your dog’s stay feel comfortable, low-stress, and genuinely enjoyable, while giving you complete peace of mind. I use a science-based, force-free approach, focusing on reinforcing good behaviors and helping dogs feel confident and secure in a new environment. I’m happy to support training goals during their stay, including loose-leash walking, recall, desensitization, grooming tolerance, ignoring distractions (like food or other dogs), public access skills, and puppy or new dog basics. Whether or not your dog has specific goals, I reinforce consistent everyday manners to keep the visit smooth and positive. I’m very interested in dog behavior and training, so if there’s something specific you’re working on that I haven’t listed, I’d be excited to learn and support you and your pup! Hi! I’m a huge dog lover and offer a safe, calm, and thoughtful home environment for boarding. I know how important it is to trust someone with your dog. My goal is to make your dog’s stay feel as comfortable, low-stress, and enjoyable as possible, while giving you complete peace of mind. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent supervision, structured care, and individualized attention. In a new environment, rest is just as important as activity, so I’m intentional about giving dogs high-quality downtime tailored to their needs so they stay relaxed and well-regulated. I take time to understand each dog’s personality and provide the right balance of structure, activity, and rest. All care is fully customizable to your preferences, including routines, activity levels, and multiple sleeping arrangements to ensure your dog feels at home. I also like to set up a meet and greet beforehand to make sure it’s a great fit.

“Great communication and was very accommodating.”

“Elizabeth was great! She was punctual both days and gave our dog nice, long 30-minute walks. She was reliable and took great care of him. We really appreciated her help and would definitely recommend her!”
