Dog Walking Ashland Mill

“Sierra walks our dog, Shockoe, 1-3 times a week and we absolutely love her! Sierra is a great communicator and has always been flexible as our days/times change weekly. She is great at listening to Shockoes wants for the day, whether that is taking a casual stroll, a big walk, or just needing some extra pets before walking. She goes above and beyond with pictures of each walk and making sure Shockoe has a water refill before leaving each day. Shockoe LOVES Sierra - they have created such a bond. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have been caring for them since I was 9. I have experience with all kinds of personalities, from easygoing dogs to more high-maintenance pets. I grew up with a Labrador/Mastiff mix and now have an older Beagle, two Golden Retrievers, and two cats. So I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities! I’m currently a junior biology student at RMC and plan to pursue veterinary medicine. I’ve also worked as a kennel technician at a boarding facility for 3 years, where I cared for a variety of dogs and cats and learned how to recognize changes in behavior and health, prevent stressful situations, and safely handle different personalities. I’m trained in giving pill and oral medications as well as applying topical medications such as ointments, oils, and sprays. I understand how important it is for medications to be given correctly and on time, especially for pets who rely on medications for conditions like heart or seizure issues. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, stimulation, and lots of care based on their individual needs. I’m currently a college student at RMC, so my weekday availability depends on my class schedule. My classes are Mondays from 9:10 AM–4:30 PM, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:00–9:30 AM, 1:20–2:50 PM, and 4:00–5:00 PM, and Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:10 AM–12:20 PM. I’m best available for house sitting on weekends. During the weekdays, I’m available for cat clients and dogs who don’t need consistent potty breaks throughout the day. I can stay at your home once I’m finished with classes for the day. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I can also stop by for a 1–2 hour period after 9:30 AM. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With 3 years of experience as a kennel technician, I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I follow your instructions closely and make sure pets receive their meals, medications, exercise, and attention as requested. For house sitting, I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own and keep you updated while you’re away. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident while they’re in my care.

About: Hello! My name is McKenzie! I’m a pre-med student and animal lover looking to earn some extra funds for medical school. I’ve had my own dog since he was a puppy (he's now 8 years old!). Because he has a daily medication schedule, I am experienced and comfortable handling any medical or dietary needs your dog might have. I am currently home full time and am available for daily drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and will accept last minute bookings for no additional costs from my end. I’m currently working part time online so I will have plenty of time to play with your puppies and check in on them! I am available everyday at any time since I work online. I ensure pet safety through constant supervision, secure spaces, and by following your specific guidelines. I will take them on daily walks and doggy parks (if you wish for the parks).

“Alexandra was amazing! Her and Ella had an epic adventure on their walk and she shared so many photos. Love seeing my pup in such good hands. 💕”

From playtime and cuddles to feeding and photo updates, I’ll make sure your pets feel loved, safe, and happy while you’re away. 🐶🐱 I work full-time (8 AM–5 PM) on weekdays, so my availability is more limited during the week, but I’m much more flexible on weekends and holidays! 💕 Lots of love, gentle care, and happy tails guaranteed! 🐾 Spending time with animals is honestly one of the best parts of my day.

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was 8. I love caring for them. Always have my eye on them as I love making them feel at home and safe. It fits into my weekly routine as I’m always sitting at home. Having a lot of free time, I chose to take care of dogs as that is something I love. I have a fenced back yard with lots of space to run and go potty. My house is pet friendly meaning they can climb on anything or lay on anything.

About: I've had pets my entire life and have been given more responsibilities with age. I have a dog a cat, and a horse that all need special care from ear infection treatments to prescription drugs. My family and I have also cared for many stray cats and even fostered one's six kittens. I’m currently a college student on summer break and I’m available during many periods in the day. These time periods are perfect for me to give your furry family members a walk, pets, and food! I am super enthusiastic about getting outside and love to go on long walks with my dog. I can also pop in to feed your furry friend and give them attention when you're away.

“Janie made me feel at ease while on my vacation. She walked and played fetch with my dogs. I have two very large German shepherds (very friendly) and she was not intimidated and handled them like a pro. She also checked in on my other animals even though she didn't have too.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 10 years old and probably younger! I was always fascinated by animals and wanted to help my parents in anyway with our pets. I helped train all our dogs and trained my own dog all my own since she was a puppy. I’ve dealt with all the puppy stage antics to all the grumpy senior dogs! I’ve had cats for as long as I can remember and rescued my own cat a year ago. I know all about the troublesome kitten phases to the aloof senior kitties. I’ve had my own experience in giving medications to all ages of dogs and cats. I am also in school to be a licensed veterinary technician so I have some skills in that field as well. I’ve also owned all kinds of other animals from turtles, hamsters, Guinea pigs and mice to fish and rabbits and reptiles as well. I really just love all animals and would treat your pets as my own! I currently only work on the weekends so I have plenty of time to visit and walk pups of all kinds or go play and check on kitties or other animals all throughout the week! I do online classes so I have no problem bringing my laptop with me to stay and take care of your pets! Since I work on weekends usually long days I can do house sitting but I would have to leave very early Saturday mornings. As for Sundays I can start housesitting most Sunday evenings depending on my schedule! My pets in my home are very spoiled and loved. I have a 3 year old cat and at home with my parents are my 2 family dogs who I helped raise and 2 turtles! In a clients home I would treat your pets as if they are my own and make sure they are comfortable and well taken care of! I would make sure they are safe and stay in the home so no pet gets loose!

“We absolutely adore Geri! From day one, she’s been incredible with our furry kids, and we couldn’t ask for a better dog walker and pet sitter. Our pups always come back happy, well-exercised, and clearly loved. But the real miracle? Winning over our resident diva, Gigi! 😂 Gigi believes every interaction should begin with a few minutes of dramatic protests and attitude (she likes to keep everyone humble), but Geri never skips a beat. With so much patience, kindness, and consistency, she has completely won Gigi’s heart. Watching our little diva go from “Absolutely not!” to “Oh, it’s YOU!” has been nothing short of amazing. One of our favorite parts of the day is receiving the adorable photos Geri sends during their walks. They always brighten our day and reassure us that our furry kids are having the best time. You can genuinely see how happy, comfortable, and cared for they are. Geri is dependable, communicative, and truly treats our pets like family. It’s rare to find someone who not only provides exceptional care but also builds such a special bond with your animals. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their pets as if they were her own. Thank you, Geri, for taking such wonderful care of our furry family—and for somehow convincing our little diva that you’re actually one of her favorite humans! ❤️🐾”

About: I'm an experienced caregiver for all types of animals. From dogs to horses to raccoons, I provide top-notch care to all furry (or scaled) friends. Though I've watched and had all types of pets in my life, I truly discovered my passion for animal care while working as the Head Trainer at Peace of Mind K9 in Manassas, VA. I provide enriching, fun, and safe activities for every animal I work with, meeting the individual needs of each one. Over my almost 10 years of experience, I have become proficient in administering medication, puppy training, and senior care. When your pet is with me, I can assure you they will be showered with love and attention, stimulated, safe, and spoiled! I am a part-time college student so I am looking to fill my free time with loving your pups! I have a flexible schedule, so I am able to make my schedule work for you. I am an attentive and observant person. Safety is extremely important to me, so on walks I try not to interact with other dogs or people (unless specifically granted permission) to ensure the safety of your pups and myself.

“Tiffany is wonderful! And cooper really likes her my husband and I thank you and will call on you again thank you”

About: I’ve taken care of animals off and on in a professional setting for 20 years. I took a break to join the corporate world, but am back to pet sitting part time. I am experienced, reliable and very caring. I do have a full time job but for the most part, it is very flexible. I am on a rotating schedule so there are weeks where I have 5 days off in a row allowing me to fully care for your furry family members. Just reach out & we’ll get you on the books! :) I am happy to serve and care for your pets as if they were my own. I can easily follow directions set forth and maintain the same level of care that they are used to.

“Janini was great. She arrived on time for the meet and great as well as a walk with Emily. Janini walked Emily and did well along the route I suggested. I will certainly book her again.”
