“I appreciate how Teju keeps me updated on each walk, but what’s most impressive is how excited my dog is to see her each day. Her love and care for my dog really shines through and it makes a big difference.”

“Abigail was very accommodating when we had to make a last minute dog walking booking. She showed up on time, took addie on long walks and took lots of pictures. She was great with Addie and will definitely be booking again.”

“Alex was great. I appreciated that he took the initiative to schedule a meet and greet before walking Shadow. I got a good vibe from our conversation and meet and greet. Alex seemed comfortable with instructions on handling Shadow's fear/aggression reaction to other dogs. And he was amenable to feeding Shadow on walk day as my neighbor, who usually feeds my animals when I'm away, had a conflict. I was so grateful for that! Lastly, I appreciated the update given with Shadow's walk, letting me know that everything had gone well. I will use Alex again when needed, and highly recommend him to others.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life and am crazy about them! I am the person that will walk right past you in order to pet your dog. Currently, I have a 7 year old coonhound and a 3 year old mountain cur mix that my family adopted from a local rescue organization. I have a special place in my heart for rescue and shelter dogs. I have experience taking care of a wide range of ages and energy levels including puppies, seniors and high energy dogs. I will play with your dog, walk or run, just let me know what type of exercise they prefer. I look forward to getting to know your dog and building a fun, positive relationship with him or her. I’m currently a stay at home parent and am available to walk or do drop ins with your fur baby during the workday hours. Evening hours are a possibility, just let me know your needs. Safety and fun are the top priority with my dogs and will be so when I take care of yours. I have lots of experience walking and caring for all energy levels and personalities, including reactivity to people and other dogs on walks.

About: While I have little experience with pets I have had pets my entire life. I am absolutely adore dogs. I can't wait to meet your sweet babies! I'm preparing to go back to school in the fall so I have as much time as I could possibly need to play with and take care of your pets I will follow along with whatever you already do at home to make sure your pets are the most comfortable and safe they can be.

“Kimberly is wonderful with my 3 fur babies. She adores them as much as they adore her. I trust her with them completely. She is kind, sweet, loving, and caring with my precious three, and she is very responsible. I highly recommend her.”

About: Hi, my name is Katie! My family dog, Bo, is the center of my universe, so I understand just how important your pet is, and I am committed to offering you the peace of mind of knowing that your pet is being cared for. I prioritize cooperative care and respect of the pet's boundaries and comfort levels in order to create a safe and positive experience. I spent a year volunteering as a dog walker with the Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA; in this capacity, I received training on safe dog handling practices and gained experience walking dogs of all sizes and breeds. I am comfortable caring for animals both small and large, and have particular experience walking dogs that pull on their leash. I understand body language cues and take proactive steps to recognize and avoid situations that might make your pet anxious. I understand that each pet is a microcosm of emotions and routines, and am happy to learn your pet's games, tricks, routines, and boundaries. Your fur baby is your world, and I will keep them safe and happy! By working with me, you can rest assured that your pet will be given the love and respect that they deserve, and that they will be kept safe and happy. I also enjoy taking goofy pet pictures of the animals I care for, so you can look forward to plenty of fun updates! Outside of pet care, I am currently working part-time with a flexible schedule, meaning that I have a wide range of availability. I am available most mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I operate on a drop-in method, meaning that I will visit your home to care for your pet. In general, I request to know ahead of time whether the dog will be free-roaming or crated when I arrive; I am happy to work with both scenarios, but want to know how your pet prefers to be greeted. I prioritize making your pet comfortable, and will work with you to make sure your pet's needs are met.

“Carole was great! Arrived on time, my dog was excited to see her and they had a good wander around the neighborhood. She took time with him during the meet and greet to get to know him as he can be anxious. All went well. Plan to book reoccurring walks with Carole!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs of all shapes and sizes for over 15 years. I walk and dog sit for a variety of ages, sizes and needs. I currently work from home a few days a week so on those days I'm able to do early morning, lunch time around 1:00. All week I'm available for late evening. On the weekends I definitely have more flexibility with times. Although it's not quite the same I've run multiple daycare programs for children for 20 years so I'm very familiar with care and accountability in my work. I'm very particular about safety and being aware of my responsibilities with your pet. If there any particulars about your dog and or environment please feel free to note it in your message to me.
