Dog Walking Battery Park

About: Hi! My name is Fallon and I am here to give loving, patient, reliable care to your pets. I have been around animals my whole life. This includes dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I enjoy all of them. I have previously worked as a vet assistant . I am a frequent visitor to the Isle of Wight animal shelter, where i walk the dogs. I have also fostered both cats and dogs and found them their forever homes. I am patient, loving, reliable and have experience handling all types of breeds. Please contact me for your animal needs . Thank you! I’m a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule. I am available mostly in the mornings when my kids are in school and can do some afternoons Safety and trust with dogs come from understanding their behavior and creating a calm, respectful environment. When people interact gently, respect a dog’s space, and pay attention to signs of stress, dogs are more likely to feel secure and respond positively. Consistent routines, supervision—especially around children—and clear boundaries help build trust, reduce fear, and keep both people and dogs safe.

About: I absolutely love animals and grew up around them my whole life. Loved every minute of being able to make a difference in my pets lives. We have a puppy. We lost your senior dog this past year (15.5) so I have experience with dogs of all ages. I absolutely love to play and engage with your fur babies including walking them daily. I am home most of the day and if I’m not home my husband is home. Someone is with them pretty much at all times. I currently work part time and home majority of the time. If I am not home my husband or daughter is home. I make sure that there is someone to take care of your pets at all times. I enjoy walking them daily and always make sure they have as much play time as they want. I have a large fenced in yard and majority of the time we keep your pets inside unless we are outside with them. Our house they can roam freely and allow dogs on furniture. They can sleep with us if you allow as well as our dogs sleep at the end of the bed.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and love to snuggle and pamper them. I love trying to teach the basic commands to puppies, I love playing with animals and walking them. I’ve helped neighbors with their fur babies when needed and have always enjoyed doing it. Im currently a stay at home mom and love to be active (walks, runs, hikes) I have a flexible schedule that helps be able to fill your needs for your fur baby at the times you’d need. I have a miniature schnauzer who loves to play with all dogs of all sizes. We love doing walks and playing with all of the toys.

About: Hi there! My name is Connor and I have been working in the animal care field for 6 years. Not unlike my clients in the grooming salon, I ensure every animal under my responsibility is comfortable, happy, and healthy. As a former groomer I am very well versed in animal first aid and animal care including, but not limited to: Bathing, nail trimming, nail buffing, teeth brushing, and nutrition. If say you have a husky who sheds every where in your house, I am willing to perform grooming on your dog to sure they stay comfortable and your house stays clean. I look forward to working with you and please contact me if you have any questions. Thank you! Being that I am a pet parents of 5 animals myself, I understand that every animal is different and I cater to those needs, whether a people-shy Rottweiler, or a clingy pug, I ensure everyone has enough attention! I ensure that the treats and reward systems I use make them happy and excited to see me again. An example would be an old basset hound that would always run out to see me because I had his favorite treats and a husky to run around with him.

About: You can finally relax knowing your pet will be safe, treated like family and given all the love. Hi there! I’m a stay-at-home mom located in the Hilton area of Newport News. I’m active, reliable, and available from early mornings until late afternoon. I’ve cared for everything from a home full of 7 cats and 4 labradoodles (all at once!) to countless pets belonging to friends, family, and friends of friends. I have a 6 year old son with special needs who absolutely adores pets so if you’re looking for boarding, please make sure your pet is child-friendly. During the day however, he’s in school and I will be able to cover those who may not be small child friendly. I don’t mind hopping in the car to take your pup to the park or on a trail if they need more than just a quick lap around the block. I’m a big morning person who thrives on routine but, full disclosure, I avoid rush hour or late-night driving since my son is with me after 3:30 p.m. Monday–Friday. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in, or a place to stay while you’re away, I am here to help. Just drop me and line❤️ I’m available Mon-Fri from 5am-5pm for walks, parks, even just a home visit and car ride if your pet just needs some 1:1 during work hours. Weekends are limited so send me a message during the week to check availability. I have a large yard but it is not fenced. My son and I enjoy walking whenever we can around our neighborhood in Hilton. I have a pet and baby proof clean home with a gentle loving child. Cleanliness is of the utmost importance to me so you won’t have to worry about anyone making a mess and it not being cleaned up.

“Feeling overwhelmed and being unable to take our lab for walks in the midst of everything was heart wrenching. Chris was a life saver and stepped in within hours of our request. He was also extremely punctual and clearly knew what he’s doing. Our lab came back from his walks looking super satisfied, energy released and calm all through the day. Highly recommend Chris!”
