“Kate was fabulous with my dog and my roommate's dog from the very beginning! My girl is usually loud and unfriendly with strangers but warmed up to Kate almost immediately. Everything about the experience was wonderful and I'd absolutely recommend Kate.”
“Devinder was absolutely amazing with my dog Slider! He was prompt when responding to my messages, and gave me complete reports with each dog walk. I felt comfortable with him entering my apartment, and will continue to use Devinder whenever I need my dog walked.”
“Thank you, Caitlyn!!! We appreciate you so much!”
“It was a great help to us and Cloby was happy with her. They connected from the first moment and Cloby felt confident with her.”
“Kristen was a life saver! I pulled a back muscle this morning and could hardly walk. Kristen was able to fit me in and make sure my pup got a good walk.”
“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.”
“I forgot to book my walks for the week and I work 12 hour shifts, so it is imperative that my tiny guy ( who refuses to go inside on puppy pads) be taken out. Bridgette saved the day, even with such short notice. My dog also loves her. I definitely recommend her to anyone.”
About: I have taken care of dogs from every breed and size for the past 5 years. I am an experienced, professional dog walker and sitter. I have plenty of experience with dogs with different personalities. I currently work part-time on Monday through Wednesday evenings, so I am available on Monday - Wednesday evenings as well as Thursdays - Sundays all day. I care for the pets in my/my client's home with diligence, respect, and compassion. I speak with the owner in advance to talk to them about their needs and expectations, make sure my house is clean and prepared for the dog's visit, then I diligently look after the dog and send updates to the owner.
“On time! So friendly and welcoming to Louie. Strong walker and updated me at every turn.”
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.
“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!”
“Tatum walked our dog for three consecutive mornings and did a wonderful job! Happy dog and happy owner! I highly recommend Tatum.”

About: YOᑌ ᕼᗩᗪ ᗰE ᗩT ᗷᗩᖇK 𐂯 I've always had a passion for working with animals, and that love has only grown over the years as I've helped family and friends with their furry friends. I was lucky enough to spend three and a half wonderful years at 4 Dogs Pet Supplies, a charming local shop in Charlotte, NC. It was such a joy to meet so many wonderful dog breeds and discover the best products and care practices for our beloved pets. I also got to team up with another small business, where I had the pleasure of caring for both dogs and cats and plants—everything from playful puppies to treasured older pets. Each day was filled with rewarding experiences in animal care! On top of that, I've volunteered at animal shelters and even participated in an amazing equine therapeutic riding program. These experiences have really deepened my commitment to animal well-being and the importance of supporting our community. It's been a truly fulfilling journey! And am very thankful for those who have trusted me with the animals. ✮ I am currently out of school for the summer and have a part-time job, which gives me plenty of availability to help care for your animals. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I am available anytime after 1 PM for walks, drop-ins, or anything else you need. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, I can assist at any time. Let me know how I can help! 𐂯 I always strive to treat animals, plants, and homes with the same love and care I give to my own! My goal is to provide the best care possible for my clients, so I ask plenty of questions to understand their preferences. This helps me create a safe and secure environment while building trust with both the owner and their furry friends.
About: I have always had pets growing up from dogs of different sizes to bunnies and bird. Recently I have been taking care of my dog Dutch. He suffered from seizures all his life, so I have experience in bigger dogs and one with health issues. I have full availability. It may change due possibly picking up a part time job as I am preparing for a year long college course. Putting my dog through behavioral courses has helped me with heel training. So walking dogs of any size won't be an issue for me. Especially with it being so hot recently making sure the asphalt isn't too hot and not keeping dogs out for too long.
