Dog Walkers in Boones Mill, VA

“Jessica was my lifesaver!!!! I injured my knee and was suddenly unable to walk my dog. She was available on short notice and responded quickly. I was in such a panic but she reassured me that she would take great care of my baby! She was flexible, patient, and kind. I had the worst day and I was being so spastic and crazy and she was sooo sweet to me. I am thankful to have found her . My dog absolutely loved her! She took notes about specific things concerning his care, and she followed all instructions given and had a successful walk with him! She took him to the park, his favorite place :) I am so thankful that Jessica has experience with large breeds and was able to handle my 70 lb dog. She sent me updates and pictures which helped my bad day get soo much better and put my mind at ease seeing my dog so happy and in great hands! She is reliable, responsible, and trustworthy. I would highly recommend Jessica and will definitely have her continue walking my dog until my leg heals (and after that too!) Thank you Jessica- you are the absolute best !!!”

About: Hello, I’m Isabel! I live in Roanoke, Virginia, and I am happy to help you with any dog walking, house sitting, or drop-in visits you may need! I am an educator out of school for the summer, which means I’ve got lots of time to look after your pets. I am available during early mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and any other time that you may need some help. Your pets can expect plenty of attention and love while you are away! I make sure to send lots of pictures and give detailed updates of my time with them.

About: With over six years of experience as a Veterinary Assistant and a background in Veterinary Technician studies, I have developed strong skills in caring for a diverse array of pets. After taking time off to be a stay-at-home mom, I am eager to bring my expertise and passion for animal care back into the field! I am available on Friday and Saturday evenings after 6pm and Sunday and Mondays throughout the day! This schedule is subject to change due to being a full time stay at home momma. In clients homes I respect boundaries and upkeep the areas your pets use. I will ensure they are comfort and trusting of me before approaching and interacting!

About: i’ve taken care of pets for lots of friends and family, along with neighbors! I also have grew up with cats and have two of my own! I worked a vet clinic taking care of the pets in boarding to! I have tons of years of experience! :) I stay home full time, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your babies and play/love on them! We also have 4 sweet babies of our own, that can be played with or put up pure your request! I walk pets outside with leash to insure no one gets away or hurt! I also have 4 sweet babies of my own for your fur babies to play with, but can accommodate to your needs if needed or requested!

About: I’ve grown up around and taken care of pets my whole life, from itty bitty kittens to old dogs, and recently a bunny! I have two cats that are essentially my children, and I know that whenever I’m away from home I worry about them - I always take care of others’ pets the way I want mine to be treated. I work from home and make my own hours, so my daily routine is incredibly flexible. I’m comfortable staying with your pet as long as you’d like for drop-ins and walks! Taking care of pets includes respecting the space they live in, and by extension the space you live in! I know it’s weird to have a stranger in your home when you’re not there, so I’ll only mess with the stuff I have to in order to take good care of your pet, and whatever I don’t need to touch, I won’t. I’m comfortable administering medication to pets that need it, and I absolutely understand the need to accommodate pickiness. I’ll follow any instructions you leave me word-for-word, and make sure your pet gets to be as comfortable and safe as possible until its people get back home!

About: Hello thank you for visiting my profile! I am a friendly and responsible woman who works full time as an Uber driver so I am able to work with any timetable you need while I am in town. I fly to Germany every other month or 2 and my calendar will reflect when I am going to be out of town. Ich spreche ein bisschen deutch + hablo un poco Español. Background: I grew up in a house full of dogs and cats and also on a farm with farm animals (child of divorce). I now have my big baby Hera (10 y/o mastiff lab mix) who is spoiled beyond words. I have also spent time volunteering at the SW VA Wildlife Rescue so I have experience working with non traditional pets and hand nursing. I have helped birth and look after 11 healthy german shepard puppies (including 24/7 care)! Please contact me if you have any questions and I look forward to caring for your precious animals! I am extremely flexible to fit your schedule! I am a self employed Uber driver and set my own hours. I fly to Germany every month or 2 and my calendar will reflect that. Your pets will be treated with love and respect! I will follow all instructions given and cater to each unique animal as needed. When house sitting I am very attentive to locking up and making sure doors are latched securely. I have experience with difficult doors and your pet's safety is my top priority!

About: What sets me apart is my deep, lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience with pets of all ages. I currently care for 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own, and I’ve never gone a day without tending to an animal. I’m especially patient with senior pets and gentle with shy or anxious animals. I’m also comfortable with basic puppy training, medication administration, and special care routines. Your pet will be treated like one of my own—with love, attention, and respect every step of the way. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I plan my day around feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and giving each pet one-on-one attention. With 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own, I’m constantly in tune with their needs, from early morning potty breaks to evening cuddle time. Caring for animals isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s just how I live my life. Whether it’s a quick check-in or an overnight stay, I’m fully committed to giving every pet the love and care they deserve. At my home, pets enjoy a little over an acre of land with a fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe outdoor play, exercise, and exploring. The space allows dogs to run freely and burn off energy in a secure, supervised environment. Inside, the atmosphere is calm, clean, and pet-friendly, with cozy spaces for rest, play, and feeding. I understand and respect the importance of crate training—I crate my own dogs when I’m not home to ensure their safety and comfort. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I always follow routines closely and provide a safe, loving, and structured environment where pets feel right at home.

About: As someone who has taken care of pets for over 20 years, I have a lot of flexibility and energy to take care of your family member. I am someone who is a deep cleaner and makes sure all pets are in a great mood I work a regular 40-hour week job but i have as much flexibility as possible with having my schedule three weeks in advance. I can come in the early morning and late evenings. I have a happy 2 year old male cat who is energetic at times as well as a big cuddle bug so I’m able to keep cats entertained and comfortable

About: I have dog and house sat for many family members since I started driving at 17 and once I started babysitting a lot I dog sat for my families I babysit for! I have one standard Australian Shepherd, one mini Aussie Doodle, and two mini Australian shepherds that I love with now. Two and my dads and two are mine! So I am use to multiple dogs at a time haha. I do dog sit with my husband just because it makes me feel more comfortable being with him than by myself. We always do meet and greets with both of us present first before accepting any visits. I currently have a full time job so I am more suitable for families who are going out of town and want me to stay with their pups at their house! I am married and prefer to dog sit with my Husband if that is not something you are comfortable with, let’s chat about it! I love all kinds of animals and love to spoil them! I rather work with other peoples homes because that is what the pet is most used to and I don’t want to cause any unwanted stress to the pet!

“TJ arrived in time, stayed for the full time and took pictures! Thank you for taking care of my boy!”

About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats since I was a 10 for my family and friends. I love making connections with new adorable furry faces. I am currently enrolled at George Mason University and take both in person and online classes. This allows me to have amply time in my schedule to provide pet care. I will be providing in home pet care, allowing your precious fur babies a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment that they are already accustomed to.

About: I treat every pet like family — with love, patience, and respect. I understand that animals have their own personalities, needs, and emotions, and I always aim to make them feel safe and cared for in my presence. What truly sets me apart is my hands-on experience. I’ve worked as a Veterinary Assistant, giving me knowledge of animal health, behavior, and emergency care. Before that, I was a doggy daycare assistant, caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’ve also raised my own pets for over five years, so I know the day-to-day joys and challenges of being a pet parent. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a shy senior, or needs special attention, I’m confident in my ability to provide calm, loving, and reliable care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule because it's something I genuinely love doing — and it aligns with my future goals. As a part-time student and part-time worker at an animal medical center, I’m constantly learning and growing in the field of veterinary medicine. My ultimate goal is to attend vet school and earn my DVM. Every opportunity to work with animals, whether it’s through pet sitting or walking, helps me gain the hands-on experience I need while also allowing me to earn extra income to support my journey. Balancing school, work, and pet care is a natural fit for me because I’m passionate about animals, and I know that every step I take brings me closer to my dream of becoming a veterinarian. At my home, I treat my pets like family, with a routine that includes scheduled playtimes, outdoor adventures, and plenty of TLC. My cats especially love lounging in the sun and enjoying the fresh air, so I make sure they have ample outdoor time to soak up the sunshine and explore. When caring for your pet, I take the same approach — ensuring they’re happy, comfortable, and engaged. Whether that means giving them a long walk, showering them with belly scratches, or playing fetch until they're out of breath, I’m committed to making sure they feel loved and well cared for while you're away. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priority.

“Carlie was great. On time every day and always goes the extra mile to make sure the animals are taken care of. Would recommend!”

About: From an early age, I've taken care of animals small-to-large, parrots-to-malamutes and I believe they're all special, giving us an endless quality of life 💓. Making time for ani-fam is never an inconvenience because it is a practice of fulfilling a pet's needs. ☺️ It also helps to fulfill my self-care/ spiritual health needs by nurturing another living being. I find I function best when I care for an animal as it keeps me on task, on schedule, and mentally happy, too! Our two family cats are fed early in the am/pm, plenty of (consensual) belly rubs, a daily lil' treat, playtime and plenty of nap time as well as personal space, as they see fit. We also share the past-time of birdwatching in the countryside. ✨ When it comes to your pet and your home, I am dedicated to respecting your pet's dietary restrictions, physical "play" needs, and always approaching with love and respect, as I will be the guest in their/your home. Between a strict regimen or low-maintenance regimen for your animal, I would require meeting with you/them in your space beforehand to make sure I get a thorough briefing. I also believe this helps with introductory bonding, showing I am a safe person to trust, and not cause unwanted stress on your pet.

About: Homemade treats and lots of love and fun! We enjoy playing at home, going for long walks, playing at the dog park, riding with the windows down, belly rubs, kisses and cuddles. I don’t mind taking to the vet or pet stores to be of more help to you. Enjoy light grooming and brushing with your approval. No matter the size, they are all puppies or kitties to me lol. I even have jumps and hoops for the active pups who like to jump and have a good time. I can give meds and special diets when needed. I have many referrals.i have two daughters who both work for rover as well. We would love to spend time with your babies and give them love and attention I am a stay at home mom that works one day a week i am free to love and care for your babies while you are away. I am willing to crate when you ask me to but prefer time out of crate to spend with your babies. Nothing like playing ball or cuddling. Whatever your pet need, I’m available.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and love all types of animals. I have pet sit for family, friends, and neighbors in whatever ways I’m needed. I’m free to give your pets all the attention they deserve. My schedule is pretty open other than taking care of my own fur babies and our home. Keeping your pets happy and safe is my top priority. My goal is to give you peace of mind that your pets are being well cared for and loved.

About: I've had pets all my life. I worked with animals for the past twenty years. I can walk, medicate and stay the night with your fur or feather babies while you are away.

About: As a devoted & experienced SAHM, I have proudly cared for a variety of animals for over 15 years. Dogs, cats, rabbits - you name it! Families entrust their furry companions to my care, often rebooking my services due to their satisfaction & peace of mind. From feeding and exercise to cozy snuggles and playtime, I will create a joyful, nurturing environment where your pets thrive & your family feels confident in my care. I am able to seamlessly incorporate pet care into my daily/weekly routines because my schedule is often flexible. I ensure all of your pets needs are met with consistency & love. I prioritize their well-being alongside my family responsibilities. In my home, I provide a warm and welcoming environment for pets to feel comfortable and cherished. I designate safe areas for play and relaxation, ensuring they have ample space to roam and explore. Whether it's dog walking, house sitting, or pet daycare, I tailor my services to suit the specific needs of each pet and client. For dog walking, I take pups on enjoyable strolls in the neighborhood or nearby parks, providing them with exercise and fresh air. If house sitting is required, I ensure the pets receive round-the-clock care, maintaining their routines, and offering companionship in the comfort of their own home. In the case of pet daycare, I create an engaging atmosphere filled with toys, interactive play, and socialization opportunities, allowing pets to have a fun-filled day while their owners are away. Regardless of the service provided, I prioritize safety, hygiene, and regular communication with pet owners, ensuring they are informed and at ease throughout the entire process.
