Dog Walkers in Chamberlayne, VA

About: Not only have I owned and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, I've also fostered at the Richmond SPCA, RACC, and Sanctuary Rescue for a cumulative 13+ years. I'm highly experienced in animal behavior, nutrition, and medical needs. I do know animal CPR and I have no issue administering meds. I love animals and I am extremely familiar with their behavior. Please contact me to care for your pets so you can be stress free! I work from home which allows me to make my own hours and I can drop in any time past 9am. I am also used to pets with medical issues and can come over whenever needed to issue medicine. I keep a tidy house with many rescue cats and dogs. We have numerous litter boxes that are scooped or cleaned daily. People who come to my house are always shocked that I have cats. My dogs are kept as part of the family and have a large back yard to run around in.

About: Being a dog and cat owner my whole life has taught me how much trust goes into leaving your pets with someone else. I have experience caring for all kinds of pets and understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, affection, and keeping pets on their normal routine. I have a flexible schedule amd am able to work from home. I genuinely enjoy making pet care part of my daily routine. As a dog and cat owner myself, I’m already used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and helping keep your pets comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal routine and needs, and will treat them as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I always pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, leash safety, and each pet’s unique personality and comfort level. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I aim to create a calm, loving, and stress-free environment where they feel safe, secure, and well cared for.

“Chynna took great care of my Junie while I was away. She followed all instructions, sent me lots of photos, and kept me informed on how Junie was doing on their walks. I will definitely be using Chynna again for any dog sitting needs!”

“I have an anxious rescue (Sir Kitt) and Kirby has been absolutely wonderful with her! When we started, Kitt had to be coaxed to walk. She was so scared of everyone. Recently, Kitt has come out of her chill spot when she hears Kirby come in! Kirby is wonderful with her and we will be booking again.”

About: My first business venture, in elementary school, started with posting flyers in my neighborhood for my dog-walking business, to prove to my parents that I could take care of a family dog if we were to get one. It worked; we got our first family dog, and have been a dog family ever since! Now I have my own golden retriever named Koa who is the light of my life, loves coming with me anywhere he is allowed, and has yet to meet a stranger. I always have a surplus of love to give, especially when it comes to animals, and my post-pandemic job now provides me with plenty of flexibility. Let me love on your fur baby, too! My job is very flexible, so it’s easy for me to add things to my agenda day-of. I enjoy the spontaneity and adventure of this side-hustle. When you’re not home, your dog misses you. I’m just there to make them feel safe and connected to someone in the meantime. I take that responsibility seriously.

About: Hi everyone! My name is Allison, and I am currently a student at UMW home for summer break. I’m looking forward to spending time with pets while also enjoying a fun side hustle doing something I truly love. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have full responsibility for my dog, Cooper, a Goldendoodle. I also have three Maine Coon cats who keep life entertaining! This summer, I will continue regularly walking my neighbor’s dogs, something I’ve been doing for about two years now. Animals bring me so much joy, and I genuinely love being around and caring for pets of all kinds. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members and make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! I’m a college student at home, working a part-time serving job. I have lots of free time to spend with y’all’s pets! I’m patient, caring, and love giving pets the attention they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure your furry friends feel happy and loved while you’re away. I plan to visit people’s homes to walk their dogs and stay if needed. I am extremely respectful and mindful of everyone’s property, and I will treat each home with the same care and respect as I would my own.

“Came home to a sweet, relaxed Pup. Thanks for the visit! Always appreciate your feedback after the walk along with all the other things that you do for our Pup.”

“Keith did an amazing job! He communicated very well with me while watching my baby. He has the same dog breed as mines ( a mini schnauzer) and he walked them together which I think was really sweet since i mentioned I felt like my puppy needed more contact with other dogs. I will definitely be booking again ❤️”

About: I’ve had over 15 years of experience taking care of dogs, and I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes. I love giving pets and snuggles, receiving kisses, and taking them out to the park and walks. I currently work 4 days a week, so I am available to board and dog sit, do drop ins, administer meds, dog walks, etc. I am flexible with my work schedule. I have a tri level townhome with plenty of space and a very large fenced in park 10 steps in front of my home. I have two doodles (both spayed and neutered) who are friendly…but if your pet prefers to be alone, I have plenty of space to separate and I have gates as well. Your rules are my rules. If you crate, I will crate. If you dont allow your pet on furniture, same goes for me. Etc. Your baby will be safe and loved with me and my family! I have a 11 and 13 yo who will also love on and play with your dog too :)

“Emily was great, very quick to respond to messages and even sent us a picture of our pup when she was walking. We will definitely be using her again for any of our dog walking needs.”

About: I’ve been dog-sitting for about 5 years now. I’ve mainly taken care of small to medium sized dogs but I’m open to looking after larger dogs as well. I am very reliable and have a lot of energy to keep your dog entertained throughout the day. I love going for walks and and going to dog parks if allowed by the owner. I live in an apartment and it’s dog-friend and the apartment has a dog area where they can relieve themselves. I live in a studio apartment but there’s plenty of open space where your pup can lounge around. I’m very attentive of your dogs needs, so I stay on top of taking them out for walks and making sure their water bowl is kept full and following their feeding schedule. Also open to grooming and showering your dog, especially if they are staying overnight with me. If your pup is energetic and loves to play we will be a great match!!
