Dog Walkers in Bedford, VA

“Heather always does a great job with our pup! Due to my ongoing changing schedule, I often reach out to her the night before I am in need of her service. She remains flexible with times and is great with communication!”

About: I have been in the pet industry for 15+ years including veterinary, retail and boarding. I also did house and pet sitting for a good friend of mine many times. I have worked in the petcare industry for more that 15 years. Most of it as a retail manager. I've done veterinary and boarding jobs also. I'm ready to basically become my own boss and do what I really love. I am still a part-time retail worker and full-time homemaker but would love to include your pets in my everyday activities! I have fur babies and scale babies of my own. This includes 1 dog, 3 cats, 2 tree frogs, 2 leopard geckos, 1 hamster and multiple fish. They are not only my hobby but part of my family. My dog and cats are allowed on furniture so they can cuddle with us.

About: As someone who was raised on a fully functioning farm, animal husbandry has been a part of my daily routine since I could walk! I have experience with almost every domestic animal under the sun, but dogs and cats have always been very personal to me. I would love to extend my love for pets to you and your fur family by caring for them as I would my own. Caring for pets is my full time job! I am highly flexible and usually able to accommodate whatever you and your furbabies need. When house sitting, I will need to leave at least once a day to check in at my house, but otherwise your pets have my full attention. I want your pets to be safe and happy. I am willing to take on whatever routine you have established to make your time away as easy on your pets as possible. Safety and fun are my top priorities!

About: I've had experience taking care of dogs since I was the age of 10 years old. I have done this for family and friends for many years and even assist with grooming needs. I also have experience with giving medications to pets as I have worked as a veterinary assistant in the past. I am currently working at an elementary school but going to school to allow me to have a work from home job. Until then I am more free in the afternoon and evening but I am able to free up some time in the morning to help out. During the summer I do summer camp, working the afternoon/evening shift; however, I am able to adjust my schedule as needed. I have a fenced in yard here at my house so my dogs have free range of the back yard, however when we did not have one we had them out at least every hour. Our dogs get feed twice a day, morning and night, but I can switch however to fit your pet best! During my free time my boyfriend and I like to take our dog, Rico, to go hiking and swimming. We would love to be able to bring him a friend!

“I only needed a few minutes with Liz and my dog to know he was in good hands. Liz has been prompt, reliable, kind, and competent. Perfect person to walk my skittish dog.”

“Isa saved my butt doing a last minute walk when my other sitter just didn’t show up. She has always been very responsive and flexible. We appreciate her so much!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, I have a cat currently and family members have always had dogs and cats. I volunteered at the Humane Society throughout high school and have lots of experience pet sitting! 😻 I also used to foster kittens which I loved doing. I love being around animals and caring for them. I am a student working part time, so that gives me plenty of free time to check in on your furry friends throughout the day, take them on walks, and spend the night with them! I am a trustworthy person who will respect your space as I would my own and leave it better than I found it. I have my EMT-b certification and am working currently as an RBT, so I have been through several background checks and first aid trainings. Safety and trust are very important to me and if desired I can frequently send you pictures/videos of your pets throughout the day! 🫶

About: I've taken care of cats all my life and dogs from time to time. From back when I was a teen at home with our family cat to my own Tuxedo Kiwi I've been caring for cats all my life. I have a deep understanding of cat body language, respecting their boundaries, and providing the attention and care they need. I work from home as a software developer and am looking for something to break up my day between calls and project tasks. Being a remote worker means I don't get much excitement day to day. Let me change up my day to day by helping you out with your pets! I live in my own home with plenty of space for walks, trails nearby for exploring, and an open and clean home for time away from the sun.

I have years of experience pet sitting within owners’ homes and am willing to accommodate whatever needs they have for their own home and their pets. I adore animals and have enough experience caring for them to be confident I can provide a positive experience for everyone involved.

About: I began pet sitting as a teen and have been in and out of the pet service industries for over 10 years. I can do training, basic grooming maintenance, walks, play and cuddle time, learning new tricks. Totally specific to your wishes and your pet’s needs! I have experience with boarding being a boarding trainer for the last 3 years with dogs ages 12weeks and potty training to senior care management - from Yorkies to Cane Corsos! I specialize in working with reactive dogs or dogs who need an experienced sitter. I am familiar and professionally trained in the use of tools (ecollars, muzzles, slip-leads, etc.) if that is something your dog requires. I have some experience as a former vet assistant so keeping your babies safe is a top priority and know how to administer dog first aide until the pet can be seen by a vet if any unforeseen circumstances arise. I am familiar with allergies, sensitivities, nutrition and medication management. I have a pretty flexible schedule so please reach out to me with your dates as soon as possible and I can get you on the books. Scheduling is based on a first come first serve basis. I am happy to come to your home so your babies are as comfortable as possible in their own environment while you are away! I would love to take your dogs on adventures and outings upon request at an additional fee depending on the type of outing. Taking them out to parks or on hikes, store visits or swimming if that’s something they enjoy (dogs must have a up-to-date Lepto vaccine for swims) or just out for some playtime in the yard. I am able to crate rest your dog if you so desire and do walks in the neighborhood. I have all my own equipment for long-line enrichment sniff walks. I have professional experience reading dog body language and behavior and will never make them interact with other dogs if they are not comfortable with it, I’m happy to advocate for their personal space. Due to liability concerns unknowing the temperament of strange dogs, I will not take your dogs to “dog parks.”
