Dog Walking Chestnut Grove

“Susan was very prompt and loved Sampson so much. She made multiple visits in a week to care for my dog and did a wonderful job!”

About: I’ve been walking dogs and doing check ins for family pets since middle school! I am currently a pre-vet student at JMU, but I spend my summers home in Earlysville. I would say this has been a “serious” job of mine since I started highschool. I’ve spent a few days a week for the past few summers pet sitting. I’m new to the app because I’ve been so lucky to have a lot of regular clients, and was then recommended to their friends. I’m just trying to expand my client pool as much as possible:) I have 3 dogs of my own, and one of them lives with me in my college apartment. I’ve had dogs all my life, but I also currently shadow at a vets office, work with the animal health team at the RHSPCA, and volunteer at the VA wildlife center. I absolutely love all animals and would be thrilled to meet new furry friends! I will be shadowing at the vet 3 days a week, but only until 1pm. On those days I am free in the afternoon to check on your pets! Most weekends, along with days I am not doing that, I can set aside time to come see your pets:) I will readily follow whatever instructions you may have. I am used to taking dogs on walks, but also fine with just letting them out in your yard and chilling on the couch. Whatever you and your pet need, I’m sure we can make it work:)

“Emil is a great dog walker for our needs. We rely on him daily, and never disappoints or doesn't show up. He is a great communicator and is upfront on what he can do. We will continue to book Emil in the future.”

“Julia is an exceptional dog walker. Her care of our dog is outstanding, from the length of the walks to her following what we have asked of her. And she not only understands her role, but proactively found a replacement for future times she will be unable to walk him. We could not be happier with Julia!”

“Basil was great with our 2 (high energy) dogs. She was punctual, gave them a good walk and kept me informed about the details. We really appreciate her help!”

“Anna was great with Teddy! She asked good questions and I could tell she had experience working with animals. I will be booking her again for regular walks!”

About: I’ve been dog-sitting for three neighbors for over five years and have also provided cat care. I own two Great Danes and previously had a cat, so I’m comfortable with large breeds, daily routines, and attentive care. I’m patient, experienced, and confident caring for both energetic pets and seniors. As a college student, I plan my pet care around my class schedule and have plenty of availability outside of class times. I’m free most mornings, evenings, and weekends. My classes are spread out during the day, which allows me to provide consistent check-ins, walks, feedings, and quality time while still maintaining a reliable routine for each pet. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable and routines stay consistent. I prioritize safety by carefully following all care instructions, securing doors and gates, and maintaining a calm, clean environment. I respect each home and communicate regularly with updates so owners feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for.

“Dakota connects well with our dog Patrick and is able to re-direct him when he wants to just turn around and come home. Our pup can be just one small ball of over excitement and exuberance and they handle that well. Dakota has been very reliable and always lets me know if he needs to adjust the time a bit.”

About: I have been taking care of friends, family members animals for over 2 years now while attending college. I love giving care to their furry friends while they are away. Having animals myself I understand the need to have a trustworthy caretaker while away! I look forward to become your pets new friend! I currently work 30/32 hours a week usually during the early mornings or mid afternoons. I have usually offered early morning walks or evening walks to those in need! I am able to do overnights as well, but always check to make sure the animals will be okay while I work! I have always tried to take care of the pets in the exact way the client has asked. I am able to sit in during meals, stay to get energy out, or even squirrel watch! I always try to make the animals stay in the routine that they have known!

About: I've cared for dogs by walking, hiking, taking them to dog parks, swimming all because I truly enjoy their company and respect their needs to interact and exercise. I work full-time and can accommodate requests with a days notice. I commute to the city for work so I'm flexible with location and hit all the parks and trails. I enjoy treating your dog to a new hike on the trail, swimming in the lakes or river in the summer and social gatherings at the dog parks.

About: I have 3 adopted best friends. I have experience with dogs of all different ages and temperaments. I love going for walks and hikes with my pups. I work full time in healthcare which makes me unavailable 3 days a week. My schedule varies week to week but I am more than happy to help you on my off days. I have a fenced in yard that my 3 furry friends love to run around and play. My senior dog gets multiple walks a day. Dogs are allowed on all of my furniture but will follow any house rules provided.

About: when you choose me as your pet sitter, you have nothing to worry about. I care for all pets as if they're my own. I live in an apartment and I'm currently only available to do boarding with one dogs but will consider two if they are bonded pair. before any boarding or housesitting services confirmed, I require we meet in person to ensure all the details are understood and that your dogs are OK with my dog. I have a 30 pound beagle mix named Daisy who is three years old and she will be with me at all times. I am always available for drop in visits and dog walking. prices fluctuate due to various factors but the main ones these days are gas prices and distance of travel. I.e The farther away you are the more likely there is that a added fee will occur before confirmation of service. I provide pet care in services full-time as of November 2021. I am available at any time if you need me. i'm currently available for the following services: housesitting, pet boarding, drop in visit, dog walking for 30 minutes or 60 minutes, and one on one dog training. if your dog is with me, I live in a neighborhood that is very dog friendly. We have two dog parks and I am often at these dog parks at least once a day. However if you have a dog that is not comfortable with that I would not take them there. I would focus on other activities that are more suited to your pet. I also take a lot of pictures and I am constantly in contact with you so you don't have to worry where or what we're doing. I currently work as a therapist with an office in the Madison area, right next to the plow and hearth. My schedule is pretty flexible and it changes weekly as my client needs change. I am almost always around, that makes me a great person for any last minute bookings needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of affection, daily walks, and playtime tailored to your pet’s needs. I keep the space clean, secure, and low-stress, with my own well-behaved dog Daisy as a companion if your pet is comfortable. When staying in your home, I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s routine. I follow all instructions closely, maintain regular updates, and work to ensure your pet feels safe and cared for in their familiar environment. I aim to build trust with both pets and their people every step of the way.

“Madelyn walks my dog every week and is very flexible when schedules change. She’s a great communicator, is always on time, and takes perfect care of my dog! Highly recommend.”

About: Hi there! My name is Mary and I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Fun fact—my very first job was walking dogs around my neighborhood! From the start, I knew working with animals would always be part of my life. I currently have a sweet and spunky 10-year-old Cavalier King Charles mix who keeps me on my toes—and on the couch for cuddles as well! I also grew up with lovable labs and helped raise my sister’s energetic Cavapoo, so I’m no stranger to high-energy dogs, senior pups, or those who need a little extra TLC. During the school year, I work as a middle school Language Arts teacher, but my summer schedule is wide open—perfect for giving your dog the attention, playtime, and care they deserve. Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs, or just some calm companionship, I’m happy to match their vibe. I’d love to meet your furry friend and make sure they feel right at home while you’re away! I’m a middle school teacher and I’m currently on summer break, so I’ll have plenty of time to hang out with the pups at home. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of room to play fetch, plus a little doggo who loves to play and snuggle, so your pup will have plenty of love and attention. :)

“Abigail was great. Arrived on time, braved the unexpected windy conditions, picked up the bountiful ‘gift bags’ and my dog seemed to enjoy the walk! Will be booking again.”

“Always does a great job and gives you the most out of 30 min.”

About: I have loved dogs since I was a kid! I recently have been working as a nanny and that has involved light care for pets as well, my current duties are walking the two dogs and feeding them treats and filling water bowls. I am very loving and caring. My previous job involved feeding and letting the pup out in the back yard to play and to help keep track of certain habits due to the dog having food allergies. I am so fond of animals as a whole that my future goal is to buy a house with lots of land and do free lance dog boarding! I would love to help your family with your pet’s needs! Hope to work with you soon!

“Good communication. On time. Happy dog. All good!”

“Fantastic! I could not imagine a better experience. Dependable, considerate, thorough. Tons of pictures and updates and my dog became genuinely fond of Lissette. The best dog walker of all time.”

About: I have a large family dog that I have been responsible for since I was about 10 years old. She has since gotten older so I have experience with a senior dog and giving any sorts of medication (and the peanut butter necessary to get her to take it). I am no stranger to having to clean up any accidents in the house so that is a non-issue for me. I am also open to taking care of other animals like rodents or turtles or other cage creatures. I am a true and passionate animal lover! My schedule is very flexible at the moment. I am happy to give as much or little time needed for the pets. I can figure out any scheduling and details necessary with clients. I am never loud coming into a home. I always let the pets come to me unless they are hiding on purpose. I take care instructions very seriously and will follow everything exactly and will reach out if I have questions about the best way I can care for your fur friend.
