Dog Walking Benns Church

“Barbara was flexible and accommodating to our last minute needs. She is super friendly and very responsive which makes us feel like our pup is in good hands! Our dog was very happy to meet her. You can definitely tell she has good experience with dogs and will treat yours like one of her own!”

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: 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: 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.

“Lily did a great job walking my very enthusiastic large Labrador puppy. He and I both appreciated the exercise he got.”

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: Hi! My name is Ashley, and I have been around animals my entire life. I have experience caring for small, medium, and large dogs with a variety of personalities and energy levels. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply having company, I am happy to provide the care and attention they need while you’re away. I am also comfortable around cats and understand that every pet has their own routine and preferences. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members, and I will treat your pets with the same care, patience, and affection that I would give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! My availability is Wednesday evening through Sunday evening each week. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting during that time and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs. I don’t currently have a pet in my home, but I have spent my life around dogs and have experience caring for pets with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I understand how important routines are for animals, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while they are in my care.

About: I have fostered and owned numerous dogs and cats. I have cared for puppies, sick and elderly dogs. So if there are any dietary restrictions, medications or specific training that needs to be inforced I am your gal. For all of the nervous pet parents don't worry I will be sending lots of pictures and videos so you will never go a day without knowing your fur friend is in great care. It is my main goal that your four-legged family member has the best time at my house and that you are as carefree as possible. My goal is to always remain as flexible as possible and to work around the schedules of my pet families! I have structured my lifestyle to remain as flexible as possible. I have invested time and care into my home and pet to make it a safe and welcoming environment at all times. I always follow the needs and requirements of my pet families to ensure continuity of care.

“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!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have spent the last 3 years volunteering with Hope for Life Rescue and Penninsula Regional Animal Shelter, working hands on with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, from bottle feeding kittens and puppies to caring for senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m the go-to person for family and friends whenever they need someone reliable and loving to care for their pets, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight boarding. I have experience administering medications, handling nervous or shy animals, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, compassion, and plenty of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals are already a big part of my life. I volunteer regularly with a local rescue and animal shelter, foster when needed, and I also run my own business from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise, and my own pets (two cats and one dog) are all friendly, well socialized, and up to date on their vaccines. My dog, Mercury, just turned two and is full of energy. She loves meeting other dogs and enjoys playdates, which makes her a great companion for social pups who enjoy interaction and play. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy environment where both pets and pet parents feel comfortable and confident.

About: Hey there! I'm a proud military member and animal shelter volunteer with 10+ years of experience caring for pets of all kinds—dogs, cats, and even the little critters! From playful puppies to sweet seniors, I’ve got the skills to handle it all. Need meds given or special diets followed? No problem! I’m all about keeping your pets happy, healthy, and stress-free. I’m big on communication, so you’ll always know how your fur-babies are doing. With me, it’s not just pet sitting—it’s personalized, loving care that gives you total peace of mind. Let’s make sure your pets have a tail-wagging good time while you’re away! Pet care is a central part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day, I dedicate specific times for walks, feedings, playtime, and any special needs such as administering medications or training sessions. I schedule my work and personal activities around my pet care responsibilities, ensuring that each pet receives consistent and attentive care. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate various needs, whether it's daily visits, overnight stays, or extended care. This dedication ensures that every pet in my care feels loved, safe, and well-attended to throughout the week. In my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment for pets by providing a designated area with comfortable bedding, toys, and plenty of space to roam. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walking, and playtime, ensuring each pet feels at home. I also have a secure backyard for supervised outdoor activities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain the pet’s usual routine. I ensure their environment is clean, provide fresh food and water, and engage in regular play and exercise. I also send daily updates and photos to keep owners informed about their pet’s well-being. My goal is to provide personalized, attentive care that meets each pet’s specific needs, whether at my home or theirs.

“Fantastic!”

The hours you need me to put in are up to you!:) Lots of love and cuddles will for sure be given, but whatever needs your pet has they will be done to the fullest of my extent!!

About: Since the age of 10, I've been immersed in the world of pet care, thanks to my mother who ran a boarding home for dogs and cats. Growing up surrounded by animals, I developed a deep bond with them and a strong commitment to their well-being. From dogs and cats to smaller critters, I've always been dedicated to ensuring their happiness and health. This lifelong experience has shaped me into a devoted and compassionate pet caretaker. As a part-time pet caretaker, I offer flexible availability to accommodate the needs of both pets and their owners. With ample time on weekdays and weekends, I provide reliable boarding services for furry friends, ensuring they receive dedicated care and attention. My commitment to pet welfare extends beyond just a job, as I prioritize creating a comfortable and nurturing environment for every animal under my care. I have a safe, loving home for pups to roam freely and an array of cat toys and trees, I offer a safe and stimulating environment for all furry companions. Whether your pets enjoy outdoor adventures or prefer cozy indoor retreats, they'll find ample space to thrive under my care. Additionally, I also cater to the needs of smaller animals, ensuring they have plenty of room to explore and play in a nurturing setting. Your pets will feel right at home with me, receiving the attention, space, and amenities they need for a happy and fulfilling stay.

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.

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.

In the past I have trained dogs and competed in dog agility trials. I currently have three dogs, an Australian Shepherd, who is my heart and soul, a German Shepherd Husky who is the sweetest girl, and a Rough Collie who lives up to his name, Taz. I can handle any size dog, any temperament, and ensure they get the care and attention they deserve. Dogs are such amazing animals that can help us overcome even our worst days, I want to make sure your dog is taken care of while you're away so you have less to worry about at the end of the day. I work full time, so I am only available on weekends at this time. My weekends are flexible to accommodate travel schedules, drop-in visits, and walks.
