Dog Walkers in Blackstone, VA

“Sophia was wonderful. I was in town for a week for work and needed someone to walk my dog during the days. She met us at the hotel the evening that we checked in to give my pup a chance to get used to her. She came each day, was very responsive, took great care of the dog, and sent plenty of updates about each walk.”

About: If there’s a pet in the room, that’s probably where you’ll find me. I’ve always loved animals, they’re not just pets they’re family, full of personality, and such an important part of our lives. Every animal is different, and I enjoy getting to know their little quirks, routines, and what makes them happiest. Being trusted to care for someone’s pet is something I truly value, and I treat that responsibility with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. Animals are a big part of my everyday life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Whether that’s going for walks, playing, or just hanging out and keeping them company. I plan my days so I can give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I stick closely to the owner’s instructions, respect their space, and focus on keeping their pets comfortable and happy.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for friends, family and of course, my own. I love them with all of my heart, I will give them the love they deserve and the care they need!! I wouldn’t mind working around anyones schedule and their desires. I would give your animals as much attention as they need. Call and I’ll be there! I can take them out on a walk, feed them, clean any messes they make, or any specific and special requests or requirements they need.

“Thanks Camerin! We appreciate your time with Louie!”

About: I walk an Jog everyday. I love dogs a puppies and cats! I also have 3 pet rabbits so if you have a rabbit I can take care of it as well. I have 4 dogs and 4 cats. 2 of my dogs are pure breed German shepherds and 1 is a Golden Shepherd so I’m not scared of big dogs!! I can do any drop in visit for cats or dogs or walks I’m a stay at home mom. My time is pretty free daily. I’m available for any drop in visit or daily walks. I also did Certified nursing my junior year of high school at a vocational school. I will follow all care instructions for the clients house and everything they tell me for the care of the pets they have so they know it’s right.

About: Animals have been in my life since I was born. Most of my experience is caring for dogs but I am more than happy to care for cats. I am someone who not only is highly empathetic to humans around me and their energies but animals also. It's my goal to help your pet feel acknowledged, content and comfortable when I am around them. My schedule outside of Rover is mostly remote which allows me flexibility to adhere to different schedules and needs. I am currently working part time and will be attending school full time in 2025. My part time requires me about 20 hours a week over the course of 3 days out of the week but my shifts don't exceed 6 hours at a time. School will mostly be remote and will have to attend in person class for one course. Checklists are my thing. Making sure meals are eaten at specific times, walks and or outside time are frequent, if any medications are taken by your pets I can adhere to that schedule as well. If I am asked to house sit, your home will be put back to how it was found and I can also clean if need be. I will keep the channel of communication very open and promptly respond to any questions or concerns you may have while you are away.

About: Whether your precious purse pooch needs a structured routine while you’re at work or you have to leave your gigantic baby home while going on vacation, I’ve got you covered! I have 10 years of experience taking care of my own pets (cats and dogs!) and friends and family have trusted me to feed, play, and meet their dogs needs while they’re away. I work part time and am saving up to go back to college in the Fall, so until then my availability is pretty open to help. Whether its early mornings, nights, or weekend stays, I am flexible when it comes to my schedule and value consistent communication when changes come up. I have reliable transportation and can accommodate last minute needs or plan for more structured, longer care. At the moment, I prefer to take care of pets in the comfort of their own home since I don't have a big enough space to invite your pets into. You know your pet best and sticking to what they're familiar with as far as feedings, exercise, and other care is what I will prioritize. My approach is calm, steady, and confident. High energy doesn't overwhelm me and big personalities don't intimidate me. Did you think of your feisty cat with the big attitude just now? Or is your dog sprinting a relay race from room to room as you read this? I would love to meet them! I focus on creating a balanced environment where dogs feel safe, comfortable, and understood.

About: I have been taking care of my own dogs since I was young and love to be around all animals! I used to nanny for a family with 5 kids and they had a wonderful dog that I always helped to care for! Feeding and taking him to the groomers and vet appointments…all things that I was lucky to get to help with! I also used to care for 2 cats (both needing to take medication) and a bull dog on a daily basis! I have a Jack Russell (that just passed away) myself that I had for about 10+ years and no kids do she was my only fur baby! I have recently in the past year gotten a brand new puppy named Sugar! She is a beagle/terrier/lab mix and 25 pounds of Adorableness! She is so sweet And absolutely my little girl, as she follows me everywhere and tries to be wherever I am, and always under foot!!! She’s a little skittish and still all puppy at eight months! So I am no stranger to puppy needs at all! I also have Bella, who is a pit/beagle mix and she is a little over a year and a half old! She is 60 pounds of crazy but happy and smart and always at my husband side! What a love bug! But remember, with pets, there is no personal space! Lol I love pets of all kinds and will care for them as if they were my own! Snuggles are free!!! I am currently a part-time private nanny, to a bunch of different families who may need care for their little ones day a week, and my schedule is always changing from week to week! This is a little niche that I found that nobody was able to fill, and I wanted to dedicate my career to helping those families who only need four hours a day one day a week and that doesn’t necessarily need to be the same day. As my schedules always changing, my availability will always be changing so I will try to keep that up-to-date as I hope more of you reach out! I’m really looking forward to all the snuggles! I am always very mindful of the time for feedings and walks…any medication will be given correctly and timely…I will make sure your home is locked up after I leave from a walk and/or feeding! Please know that I will do my best to. Gain the trust of the animal! Cats too!

About: I live with three cats and a dog, but I love all kinds of pets. I used to volunteer at the Kansas Humane Society to get even more time to play with cats and dogs. I grew up having cats, dogs, bunnies, and horses for as long as I can remember. I have been dog sitting to supplement my income, at times almost full time, for about four years now. I am a graduate of Wichita State University with a Bachelor's in Business. I currently work at the Department of Commerce as an Economic Development Representative. I enjoy being outside, hiking, swimming, reading, learning new things, and playing piano and guitar. I am punctual, charismatic, active, and energetic. I am a very responsible and loving individual who will be able to provide superior care to your four-legged best friends!

About: I've had dogs since I can remember. My fiancé watched dogs in the past with rover and I would always help. Take the dogs to the park on my days off, play outside, and train them when needed. I am currently on veterans disability so I can focus my whole day to your furry friend. No worry about being stuck in all day. I have 5 acres of yard for them to play on. I have lots of space if needed, room for crates, room outside. Plenty of space so your furry friend won't feel trapped. My animals mind their own.

About: I have a pitbull, a dachshund, and a little cat. I love them all so much and enjoy spending as much time with them as they need. I am able to handle my 120 pound pitty on walks and trained him to be the best dog ever. I also trained my dachshund, which are very stubborn by the way :) I work full time but i am always available to come on my lunch breaks, before work, or after work. I am always off on the weekends so I am available anytime any day. I take care of my animals by always being on top of what they need. I make sure they have exercise so at night they are able to sleep. I make sure their belly’s are full and walk them about 45-1 hour later to make sure they know to use the bathroom outside. I give them PLENTY of attention and they always love being around me.

About: New to the site but not new to petsitting! I've had various pets my entire life and been pet sitting/walking for over 25 years! I have experience with any species from hamsters, lizards, and bunnies, to cats and dogs, as well as livestock! My family raises and competes with oxen in the Northeast, and until recently moving south I cared for large animals (horses, cattle, goats, etc) as a side gig as well. There isn't an animal out there that I'm unwilling to work with! I love to care for and work with dogs. I'm happy to do regularly scheduled walks/hikes, or help out as needed. I don't have any official training certification but I do have a background in behavior analysis that has proven helpful when working with and training pets and farm animals. I'm available weekdays mostly during the day but have plenty of flexibility overall. Also available most weekends! Message me with your needs and I can check my schedule for availability. I have a German Shepherd and a Staffordshire Terrier. Although they love to play, due to their size and intensity of play, I'm not doing any care in my home at this time. If I establish a relationship with a client and know their pet well enough to know if it's a good fit, we can discuss the possibility of care in my home. I am willing to do care for small animals in cages in my home (hamster, bearded dragon, etc) In a client's home, I will follow whatever individual preferences they have!

We always communicate clearly about who will be caring for your pet — and we treat every pet like family. This reassures clients nothing changes except availability improves. As a college pre-med student with a passion for pets, I balance my studies with caring for animals, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. My medical background gives me an extra edge when it comes to understanding health needs, administering medications, and ensuring pets stay happy and healthy. I prioritize each pet’s well-being while managing my busy academic schedule, offering owners peace of mind that their pets are in capable, loving hands. When caring for pets in my or client's home, I ensure a safe and comfortable environment tailored to each pet's specific needs. If they stay in my home, I create a cozy space with plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. I maintain routines, whether it's feeding schedules, medications, or nap times, to minimize stress. For in-home visits, I focus on maintaining the pet’s usual environment and routine, providing personalized care such as feeding, play, and cuddles, while also ensuring their space is clean and secure. My approach is always flexible, offering a combination of love, safety, and reliability.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my experience with both dogs and cats, as well as puppies and senior pets.

I also keep a consistent routine for administering medications or providing extra care for senior pets or kittens, ensuring their needs are met. Whether it’s checking in with clients, preparing for upcoming pet sitting appointments, or simply spending time with animals, pet care is an essential and fulfilling part of my week. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment. I have designated areas for play, rest, and feeding, ensuring that each pet has a space where they feel secure. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, and I provide lots of attention, enrichment, and affection to keep them happy. For pets in my clients' homes, I follow their routine and specific instructions to ensure continuity in care. I make sure their space is clean and that they feel comfortable, whether it’s keeping up with their favorite toys, providing extra cuddles, or sticking to their feeding and exercise schedule. I aim to create a familiar, loving environment wherever I am, so pets feel at ease in their own home or mine.

I SPECIALIZE IN FARM SITTING! :) DAYCARE/BOARDING GUESTS: just a heads up, we do have livestock on the property, as well as working dogs.:) Hope to hear from you soon! I work from home, so pet care fits into my routine really well. I’m not in meetings or anything all day, so my routine revolves around your pet’s schedule. :) I treat my clients’ homes with respect and care, just as I do my own home. I’ll clean up any messes your pet might make, as well as keep the home the way it was or better while you’re away.
