“Lauren is wonderful! She communicates clearly and in a timely fashion. I feel fortunate that she is walks my dogs. I can tell that she cares about doing what is best for them as she really took the time to learn about their quirks. I would definitely recommend Lauren!”
“Jeremy is conscientious, enthusiastic, and dependable. He is a great communicator and he made me feel like he really enjoyed my dog. Best dog walker yet! I’d hire him again anytime.”
“Jessica was so great with Rugby! He was a little stressed out at first and she made him feel right at home. She came to watch him at a concert I was playing and was great reading his cues. She made sure he had fun and didn't join in on the singing (barking) too much, and it was great not having to worry about him while I was playing.”
About: Hi there! I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals of all kinds and have loved them ever since. Our family dogs have included pointers, labs, beagles, and Frenchies—so I’m comfortable with a wide range of breeds and personalities. These days, I have a sweet little German Spitz/Pomeranian mix (and 10 backyard chickens!) who keep me on my toes and bring our family so much joy. My current schedule is 100% flexible for whatever your pet needs - I can do early morning, late night, midday, etc. Just let me know. I can work with whatever your dog needs; indoor/ outdoor play, crate/ no crate, etc. I will follow their routine, and let you (and them) lead the way.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’m originally from Charlottesville, Virginia, and currently a full-time undergraduate student at Virginia Tech living in Blacksburg. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a calm senior dog, I pride myself on providing attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’m here to give you peace of mind while making sure your pup is safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently working full time during the summer here in Charlottesville. However I’m free for walks before 9am and my work day is over at 5:30. I prioritize safety by keeping a clean, pet-friendly environment and following each pet’s routine closely. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure secure spaces, constant supervision, and lots of love and attention to build trust and keep your pet comfortable.

About: After saying goodbye to my 19-year-old beagle this past spring, I realized that the best way to pay tribute to her was by looking after other people's pets just as I did for her. During the pandemic, I took care of my neighbors' pets, helped with their little ones, and even signed up to foster at my local SPCA. Anyone who knows me can tell you that my passion for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Currently I have a full-time job, but that will not get in the way of giving your family member the love and care they need. I know how stressful it can be to find someone to watch your pet, so I am hoping to bring comfort to owners knowing I will love their animals like my own. I have watched many different kinds of animals with varied ages and needs, so I am willing to work with the owner on what makes them and their animal the most comfortable.
