Dog Walking in Belle And Mayo Islands, Richmond, VA

“Riley was fantastic! We are new at this (first family dog) as we have a puppy and Riley was a huge help to jump in at the last minute. She was kind enough to fit us in her already tightly booked schedule as we were in a huge bind! She updated throughout the day with pictures and videos. Thanks Riley!! We will definitely contact her again!”

“Devinder was absolutely amazing with my dog Slider! He was prompt when responding to my messages, and gave me complete reports with each dog walk. I felt comfortable with him entering my apartment, and will continue to use Devinder whenever I need my dog walked.”

“Kate was fabulous with my dog and my roommate's dog from the very beginning! My girl is usually loud and unfriendly with strangers but warmed up to Kate almost immediately. Everything about the experience was wonderful and I'd absolutely recommend Kate.”

“Kyla did a great job at the last minute. I had to run out of town for the night and was able to accommodate me same week. She did nice long walks that kept him sleep while I was gone. Will definitely use Kyla again”

“Kristen was a life saver! I pulled a back muscle this morning and could hardly walk. Kristen was able to fit me in and make sure my pup got a good walk.”

“This was our first time using a dog walker and Lila was beyond great! She was so open to a meet and greet to begin with and was able to spend some time with our dog while we weren’t home. The updates through Rover were so helpful and kept our minds at ease! Lila even included a bunch of photos each day! We can’t recommend her enough!”

Shannon F.

“Thank you, Caitlyn!!! We appreciate you so much!”

“I cannot recommend Sierra highly enough! My dog, Mickey, ran down the hall to meet her on her second visit. He’s never done that. She obviously had Mickey’s seal of approval immediately. Sierra is conscientious, very communicative, and extremely kind. She has my complete trust and respect, because she treats Mickey as if he were her own. To me that is the absolute best quality in a dog walker! Choosing Sierra as your dog walker is the absolute correct decision! Having Sierra walk your dog will keep you worry free and happy while your pup gets good exercise, has fun and is treated like family 😃”

“Sydney was amazing with my sweet dog PJ. I came to Richmond from out of town for a few days and was grateful to coordinate several dog walks with Sydney. PJ is not a city dog, so I was a little hesitant on how best to handle downtown Richmond. Sydney knows the area well as a VCU student, and she was able to find green space and waterfront walks for PJ. She also did well to secure arrangements with me on short notice. I will certainly reach out to her again on my next visit to Richmond. Thanks Sydney!”

“Tess was very quick to jump onboard with my dog. She treated her like a true queen and ensured communication was clear. Thank you so much Tess :)”

About: I'm a professional dog trainer, and I've been working with animals professionally for over 10 years, and I have had dogs and cats in my family ever since I was born, and grew up training and walking them. I have had the pleasure of having two golden retrievers, a border collie, and now I have a 4 year old black lab named Rosie, and tortoiseshell cat who acts like a dog. Even though I train dogs and their humans, I walk dogs as supplemental income, and I would love to meet your little (or big) bundles of joy! I’m currently self-employed, so my schedule varies. But I am typically available on Mondays and Thursdays, but I will update my schedule weekly or monthly to reflect what my schedule really looks like. I have the experience to exercise dogs who are a little more on the high-energy side, or dogs who just want to sniff everything outside for a while and then get some pets and snuggles.

“Erin was very responsive, friendly and attentive to my dogs needs. She was able to come during the middle of the day to give my girl a nice walk around the neighborhood and even played with her inside a bit before heading out. My dog loved my time with her!”

About: I love absolutely love dogs! I work from home as a Generative AI associate so my schedule is very flexible and ideal for taking care of your dog when you're busy or away. I'm available mornings, afternoons, or evenings, basically whenever you need. And my apartment is located in Shockhoe Bottom near two parks, ideal for walks. I grew up with Lhasa Apso pups (Cassie and Teddy) and have been dog-sitting and dog-walking for about 5 years. I've taken care of a variety of breeds, ranging from a Chinese crested to a boxer-pitbull mix. I'm a very compassionate, gentle, and patient person. I love spending time with dogs and look forward to meeting yours! :) I work from home, so pet care fits into my schedule super easily. I can take dogs out for potty breaks and walks as needed. I live in an apartment, so my living situation better aligns with smaller dog breeds. But park proximity still allows for walks and outside time.

“Pedro is wonderful! Tali was in good hands. He came over beforehand to meet her and learn more about her. We will definitely use Pedro again!!”

About: Hi, I'm Miki! I've had dogs my whole life, and adopted one of my very own (Scout) about 4 years ago! With several years of personal and professional experience, I'm confident I can provide a happy and safe space for your pet. :) As a dog owner, I know how hard it can be to find someone you trust with your pet, and my goal is to give my client's peace of mind knowing that their babies are being cared for just as I would my own dog! At the moment, I only host one dog at a time to make sure they get my full attention (or two from the same household). I have a ton of experience and knowledge with dogs, but particularly anxious/reactive dogs and am always happy to accommodate any special needs/requests. I work from home a few days a week and have an open weekend schedule, so Scout and I would love having another friend around to keep us company! We typically go on a minimum of 3 walks a day (morning, afternoon and night) for anywhere from 20 minutes- 1+ hours. Between walks, I have plenty of toys and mentally stimulating gadgets that Scout would be happy to share. :) While I don't have a yard, my neighborhood is the perfect dog-friendly spot with lots of trails, streams and parks! If your dog is hanging with us, you can expect an itinerary full of very dog centered activities (as usual) haha. I'm experienced working with low and high energy dogs and more than happy to follow your dogs typical schedule- whatever that may be! To maintain safe and calm environment for all pets, I do require that dogs are crate trained and feel comfortable being crated if I need to leave the house for a short time.

About: Hello! My name is Olivia, and I bring over 8 years of hands-on pet care experience. Having grown up with animals and cared for pets throughout my life, I understand the importance of providing reliable, compassionate, and attentive care. My background includes working primarily with dogs and cats, though I also have experience caring for a variety of other pets. What sets me apart as a sitter is my ability to adapt to each pet’s unique needs. I have experience with puppies, who require consistency, patience, and play, as well as senior pets, who often need extra gentleness, structure, and specialized attention. My priority is always to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away. I am highly dependable, flexible with scheduling, and committed to maintaining your pet’s normal routines so they feel right at home. You can trust that your furry family member will receive not just basic care, but genuine love and companionship. I currently work part-time, typically in the evenings, which gives me plenty of flexibility during the day to provide quality care for your pets. Because of this, I’m able to dedicate time for walks, play, feeding, and companionship when pets need it most. My availability during the week may vary slightly, but I keep my schedule up to date and am happy to work with owners to accommodate their needs. Weekends are generally wide open, making me especially available for longer stays or more extended care. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. Since I no longer have a fenced yard, I make sure dogs are always leashed and supervised on walks or outdoor time to ensure their safety. Inside, I provide a calm and secure environment where pets can feel comfortable and at ease. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely and keep a careful eye on their safety—whether that means securing doors and gates, monitoring food and water, or ensuring they get the right amount of exercise and play.
