“kathleen did a great job with my pups while i was out of town. i will absolutely be booking with her again! i have three aussies - high energy and highly velcro. she spent a few weeks doing drop ins leading up to this trip to build trust with them. during my time away, she followed my instructions to a tee, sent long updates (which i loved), and lots of pictures! as a dog mom, i can read their expressions and they looked so happy in all their pics and that made me feel so relaxed while i was away.”

“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!”

About: Hello there! My name is Sammy and I have been around animals all of my life and they have inspired me in so many different ways. I have been managing doggy daycare/boarding facilities for a little over 3 years now so I guess you can say pet care is my specialty! I am dog and cat CPR certified, certified through the DHA (dog handler academy),I know how to give injections, and my knowledge on dog behavior is quite extensive. I have decided to go back to school as well which is why my schedule is so open. Currently I own a 2 year old Golden Retriever as well as the cutest cat ever that are both my world. I hope you decide to let me into your pets heart as I treat every pet like my own. ~Wags & Wiggles, Sammy🐾 I am going back to school which means I have a very open schedule. I am also pretty flexible with times and last minute bookings. When it comes to a clients home,I always like for us to meet before I start my services so everyone feels more comfortable. I will also provide pictures for my clients of your fur baby & I having a good time!

“Cynthia was amazing with my dog and was great with keeping us updated on how he was doing. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our boy!!!!”

“Kate made our first Rover experience amazing. Our dog was well taken care of with a great walk and feeding. The pics we got were super thoughtful and it was really comforting to see our pup so happy while we were gone. Highly recommend her and will be rebooking when needed! Thanks so much Kate!”

“Taylor was so good with my Kona girl. So attentive and I know Kona enjoyed seeing her these last few days for a daily walk.”

“Katherine is wonderful! Clearly a dog lover - she takes extra care and time to get to know your pup and make them feel comfortable around her. We use her for daily walks and are so glad we found her.”

“Tatum was extremely helpful and sweet for looking out for my two dogs especially on short notice! She was great with following all of my instructions and I couldn’t be more grateful to have her walk my dogs! I would highly recommend Tatum to anyone looking for a new dog walker!”

Leah M.

“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 😃”

“Maria and Luis were so kind. Great communication, very accomodating to my last-second changes, and my dogs love their new friends. I would book with them again- highly recommend Maria and Luis!”

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: I have always loved animals and never come across a dog or animal I didn't like. I have two dogs that are truly my babies, and I treat any dog I come across as I would my own. I take my boys walking every day, sometimes hiking and other fun stuff like that. I am in college for nursing and would like an additional income and felt this is a good way to make some extra cash. I have experience with all types of animals being that I used to work at a Vet's office and I am dependable and trustworthy. I guarantee you will be more than satisfied with my services and i am very flexible and able to deal with older, or needier animals. Thanks for looking!

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.

“Ashley is very sweet and communicative, she follows directions. she also took great care of my baby and look forward to another walk soon! Thank you so much for taking care of him!”

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.

About: Pets are great blessings to our lives and therefore deserve to be treated with the utmost respect and care we can give them. I will treat your pet as if he or she is my own and ensure they are well-taken care of! I grew up owning a dog and have since added 2 more to my family. I shared the responsibilities of feeding them, playing with them, and caring for each dog with my family members. I would be grateful for the opportunity to get to know and care for your pet! I will be free to care for your pet during both weekdays and weekends. I will have more availability during the summer. Can pet-sit overnight on weekdays as well. I will send pictures of your pet for each walk or stay I do. I am also happy to meet with families to get to know the pet before care starts. I can also be reached by phone or email if anything comes up.
