Dog Walkers in Ashland, VA

About: I have five years of professional dog care in many different spheres. I have previously managed two different kennels, groomed many dogs around Richmond, and am K9-CPR certified. I have experience training puppies, adults, and seniors basic obedience, leash manners, and beginner agility. I am well versed in administering medications. Prior to working with dogs as a career, I have experience caring for many dogs over my life, from family pets to petsitting in the neighborhood. I am happy to provide enrichment activities for your animal as well, such as bubble play, doga (dog yoga), or drives to hiking locations. I am committed to being completely available for any of your pet needs! My main focus is comfortable care for your critter, no matter how early or late that may be. I feel that years of experience in caring for animals who are being boarded, hanging out at daycare, or getting a stylish spa day have taught me so much in how to interact and build trust with many animals no matter the situation. I believe a combination of patience, kindness, intuition, and some snackos can really foster a safe, positive environment for everybody.

“We’re so excited to have found Sierra, and will use her for lots of walks in the future! She’s been able to be super flexible with my ever changing schedule! My dog penny loves getting to see her while I’m at work, and I love getting the pictures Sierra send of their adventures!”

About: I'm a nurse, so, I typically work 3 days a week and have the other 4 off which makes for a lot of availability and flexibility to help walk or watch your fur baby! I have a dog named Butch, he was a stray from Puerto Rico that was basically feral when I got him. I successfully domesticated and trained him and he's turned into the sweetest, chill dog ever! Butch has skin issues and separation anxiety, so, I also have experience in administering oral and injectable medications. I'd be happy to use whatever commands and training techniques you use with your pet as well. I typically work three 12hr shifts a week and they are usually week days so I am frequently available Thursday-Sunday for long weekends to watch or walk your dog and some weeks I'm available a day or two earlier in the week. I have a lot of flexibility and availability for the weekends and toward the end of the week though! I have a 6ft privacy fence in the backyard, my neighborhood is very walkable with sidewalks, and a sweet dog named Butch who is about 6 who will easily and quickly become friends with your fur baby. Pets are allowed on furniture and beds in my home but I am willing to crate yours if that is what you prefer!

About: We are just a dog lovin fam. We love the adventure of having different dog personalities around. Currently, my husband and I have 2 rescued Rottweilers, both of whom we've raised from puppies. My home sits on a large property with a secure, fenced-in dog pen, providing a safe and spacious environment for you pets to play and explore. I'm currently a stay at home mom, so I'm flexible to support different needs. Let me know how I can support you and your dogs! I have a dog pen on a large property & two fur babes to keep your pup company. I have a crate available if needed!

“Wesley was fantastic with our pups! Working 12hr shifts it can be challenging to find someone to check on and walk my two mini poodles, so I am very thankful Wesley was able to make time for them! Wesley also took the time amidst a busy schedule to meet the fur family which really helped😊🫶🙌”

“We were in Telluride doing some longer hikes and needed to find a dog walker for our two dogs. Found Bryan on Rover. He came to the house to meet the dogs a few days prior to the scheduled service. He was on time, walked both dogs and gave me a thorough update on the visit. We will definitely book Bryan again!”

About: I have been taking care of a various amount of animals since I was 10 years old. We had goats, dogs, cats, and even prairie dogs! As an adult, I have taken care of cats, dogs, and bearded dragons. This includes walking, feeding, administering medication, and boarding of cats. Your animals will always be top priority when I sit or board. I would be able to watch/feed/walk/take care of your beloved pets in the mornings and the afternoon/nights during the week. During the weekend, I would be able to tend to them any time of the day. Cats in my home - I am happy to have your beloved cats board in my home. They would be around two other cats. One is a kitten that would love the company. The other is an old man who would just "be". They would be safe indoors!

“Kelly is great, and our puppy loves her! We’ve used her twice in the 1st week and will continue to use her!”
