Dog Walking Chestnut Hill

“Jessica did a great job walking our Australian Shepherd! It was my first time using Rover and she made it super easy. She was right on time, professional, and friendly. Will definitely be reaching out to Jessica next time I need helping walking my dog! Thanks Jessica!!”

“Emily has done a great job walking Teddy while I’m at work. I highly recommend here and I will be using her walking service in the future.”

About: I have always been raised around dogs and love all breeds. A few years ago we adopted our own three- legged mixed pup who has filled our hearts with love! We also have another rescue mix that is high energy and keeps his friends playing all day! They love to play, but also love to cuddle and relax. We have never had trouble with our fur babes getting along with others. We and our dogs love to play and go on walks! We have a nice sized backyard that is fenced in and a great neighborhood to walk in with a park near by. Due to our opposite work schedules someone is almost always home to be with the dogs. We would love to meet your furry friend and let the playing and cuddles begin!

“Kiki had the best time with Janini. Pick and drop off was perfect, she was nice and sleepy when she got home. She can’t wait for her next visit with Mrs Janini!!”

“Eileen and her husband are very kind people. My pup loves them and did great on the first walk! Will definitely book again.”

“Bruce is great. He showed up minutes before the appointed time to be certain he was not late. He thrilled the dogs with their first ride in a convertible. He sent plenty of pictures including those that look like the dogs are smiling ear to ear. He was prepared with water during the walk and gave them breaks to rest from the heat. Our yellow lab is usually restless and constantly pulling my husband but she behaved for Bruce. I would highly recommend him.”

“Tara responded immediately to a last minute request to walk my dog two days later so that I could be away for a day. Everything went very well!”

Jennifer W.

“I have used Hanna many times for drop-in visits and dog walking due to my very busy work schedule. She always sends photos and makes sure Monty has a full bowl of water and food. She was also able to come by urgently to help barricade him back in the house when he got out accidentally one day. I would 100% recommend her and will continue to use her when needed!”

“Katherine was great and our pup loved her! She is on time and very communicative. She also reinforced skills we practice when walking our dog. We’ll definitely use Katherine again!”

“Ytalo took great care of our pups while we were gone for the weekend. We loved all the pictures and he kept us updated the whole time. Would definitely schedule with him in the future.”

About: Hello there! I absolutely adore animals. I spent 3 years at the SPCA, working directly with the animals and fostering. My friends and I started our own rescue, SFC Virginia Animal Rescue. I know how hard it is to trust your dog is in good hands, and to feel happy, and safe. I love snapping photos and sharing with you all that me and your fur baby do during our visit, (and not afraid to inspect poop to ensure your pet is healthy and report when a concern.) My dogs have been through various trainings and would be happy to share my knowledge while I spend time with your pet. I have over 5 years experience with pets with medical needs varying from administering sub-q fluids to medications to inhalers for the cat-kiddos. My girl has hypo-thyroid and has to take a pill twice a day. With my experience with medically-needy animals I am hyper aware of the smallest changes in behaviors in a short period of time and can offer varying tricks with administering for the ones who aren’t big fans. Side note: I do have travel minute limit, for those east of 95, that is within the time limit if the $5ish toll is taken, otherwise it would take over 30 mins. If you are okay with an additional charge of $6 to cover toll, I will be more than happy to assist! I work from home so I get a lot of quality time with my babies. Where I see opportunities to train, I take advantage. Training is a daily on going activity. My animals eat twice a day on snuffle mats with a kibble and veggie/fruit medley. In short, pet care is part of my routine. When hired to do check-ins I like to spend my first time with the pet observing knowing I’m a stranger and I want to not overwhelm. I will read the vibes and either interact more or keep a distance depending on their body language and how they are reacting to me. I know pets sometimes have a tendency to be more reserved or hesitant to do their normal activities. I try to connect and bond during this time as well with treats (if provided) and positive quiet communication.

About: I have experience for being responsible for animals my whole life. I have 15 pets of my own and love the responsibility. I enjoying interacting with animals and giving them my full attention. Weekly I care for my own pets and would love to care for yours as well. There isn’t anything I’m not willing to do in caring for your pet. Right now I’m off from work in the summers and have a lot of time on my hands. I will follow detailed instructions on how to handle your animals and what you want to be done. I will always put their safety first and will keep that in mind at all times.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs growing up and have worked with a variety of ages from puppies to elderly. I have 2 years of experience volunteering as a veterinary shadow intern and have confidence to providing for the needs of cats and dogs of all personalities. As a recent college graduate I have flexibility and time to reliably work as needed to provide care for pets. My schedule allows me to prioritize their routines, whether it’s daily visits or last minute bookings. I prefer to adapt approach to pets according to their needs, whether it’s calm and non confronting to shy cats or running with younger dogs. I also like to continue their routines that they are comfortable with. For owners, I keep regular updates as wanted to keep peace of mind.

“Great to work with Rebecca! Excellent communication and arrived in the agreed time frame with no issue. She took my pup with hers for a walk to the nearby dog park. Pics showed how delighted he was with the walk and the company! Definitely plan to work with her again”

About: I have had my own dogs since my early 20’s, and I’d probably have about ten more if I could. Everyone in our family has dogs, ranging from tiny Yorkipoos to big ol’ lab mixes, and I love them all! I currently have one rescue pup, Russell, who is 19 different breeds! I am patient, I don’t get grossed out easily, and I will love your pup like it’s a member of the family. My husband and I are both teachers, so we are home full-time during the summer with our two teenage kids. During the school year we work, but I’m usually home by 3:30. Our 13-year old daughter is interested in pursuing a career working with animals, so she will be assisting in the care of your pet. We have a large fenced yard and a dog-friendly house. We even have a doggie door for pups to come and go outside to the back yard as they need or want to. We have one 5-year old dog who gets along great with other pups. Usually when we dog sit, we have the visiting pup have a home base in our daughter’s room where they can be fed separately, have peace and quiet, and enjoy the best air conditioning in the house! We are a dogs on furniture house, and she even loves to let the dogs we are sitting sleep in her bed with her if they want. Your dog should expect many pets and snuggles at our house! If we are coming to your house, we will follow whatever routines and rules you’ve established for your pet. But still expect lots of love for your pet!

“We love Jenelle! She does a great job reinforcing what we are working on in training. We are so appreciative of her!”

About: I have lived in a golden retriever family my entire life, and dog-obsessed honestly does not do me justice! I know the Richmond area well and love taking dogs to new locations, like dog parks or the river. Since I am an athletic individual I can offer rigorous exercise for even large active dog breeds. I am very trustworthy and responsible, I schedule my time wisely and am always on time for scheduled appointments. I do work full-time, but am often available on evenings and weekends. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your dog! I work full time, so I am usually busy during the day. However, I am often free on evenings and weekends and love walks and drop in visits. I do not bring dogs to my own home, because I have older goldens at home. But I love to come spend time where your dog is comfy!

About: 20+ years caring for dogs and cats. I’ll care for your pet with love and attention, just as I would my own. Experienced with rescue and pure breds, as well as senior dogs and cats. Have cared for small, mid, and large sized dog breeds, such as golden retrievers, goldendoodles, labs, beagles, Cavapoo, terriers, English and French bulldogs, and pugs. I work remotely, so will keep your pet company during day and have plenty of time for walks and play time. I'm available on weekends for boarding at your house, walks and play time. Offering pet sitting at your house, will follow your wishes and needs for your pet (ie, crate or no crate, food timings, and minimum # of walks, etc.

About: I’ve rescued/raised three dogs from about 2 months old, and fostered pups/kittens as well. I currently work as Foster Coordinator at a local humane society. I have access to good walking trails, and a dog park. I can keep your dog active with hikes and parks, or we can just chill. Whatever they need! I’m working part-time with a consistent schedule. With advance notice I can be available almost any time, and be able to care for your dog throughout the day. Available for house/dog-sitting anytime. I’m available for anything your dog needs! I enjoy the outdoors, so we can go on walks/hikes together and play at the park. Or if your pup is more the indoor type, we can lounge about and play in the home.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats since infancy and I started petsitting professionally for neighbors, friends, family and others at age 12. Now, I love providing petsitting, dogsitting and petcare services for animals on the side. I have two well-behaved indoor cats of my own and they have many "cousins" (my mom bred Shelties and currently owns three, in addition to a kitten and my sister has a rescue pup). I have fostered moms with kittens from the SPCA. I am patient, kind, loving and caring for furry-faced friends brings me much joy and fulfillment! I currently take care of my best friend’s Maine Coon when she is out of town and on weekdays, I let out and play with her Corgi and lab puppy mid day. I also Petsit for neighbors as needed and have long term relationships with families whose dogs and cats I have taken care of for going on 6+ years! I work full time but it is regular 9-5 Mon through Fri hours and it is a remote job so I work from home. I am available in the mornings, evenings, weekends, holidays and can check in on pets during the day if needed. I have petsat for many folks while working full-time without any issues, and have already established a great routine for petsitting while working remotely! I live in a spacious two bedroom, two bathroom apartment. I have two friendly, well-behaved indoor cats who are familiar with dogs, cats and pets and have had foster cats, kittens and dogs in our apartment with no fights or problems! We do not have a yard, but the apartment is pet-friendly, in the suburbs, in a safe neighborhood and has lots of sidewalks, grassy areas and space for dog walking, etc. There is even a fenced-in dog park a minute from our apartment, in the complex! :) Our apartment is clean, spacious and has plenty of blankets, furniture and space for fuzzy-faced kiddos! I work full time but remotely and it’s easy for me to fit pet care into that routine! Having a flexible schedule allows me to work around your pets’ needs! I am flexible and am comfortable caring for your fur baby in my home or yours! Have provided both services over the years. Just let me know what best suits you!
