Dog Walkers in Claiborne, VA

“Madison is the best! She is always prompt, communicative, and a pleasure to work with. She even makes homemade dog treats for my dog! (Without me asking). Highly recommend, though be careful, your fur babies may end up being disappointed that its you walking through the door and not Madison!”

“Hunter is our favorite pet sitter. We call him the pet whisperer! He’s got a natural gift with animals. They are drawn to him. I highly recommend him!”

“Healy treats my animals like her own! She goes above and beyond for the animals she cares for. I am very particular with the people I let watch my animals, and Healy is someone I trust whole heartedly.”

“Rachel watched my big ol’ Belgium Shepard (75 lb hairy beast) for three weeks this past December. I received daily updates and photos. Her place was clean and tidy. She even took him to the dog park almost daily!! He seemingly loved his time there. He came back happy and woth a shiny coat thanks to a end of stay bath she gave him. Very pleased, would highly recommend.”

“Kristen is timely, takes good photos, and gives great descriptions of the walks she takes with our pups. We know what kind of experiences they had and we can see the route they took on their adventure. Kristen is professional, kind, and flexible. Your animals would truly be in great hands with her.”

About: We provide care in our home and treat your babies like our own. We walk them multiple times a day, love on them, take them on field trips when possible, we spoil them rotten. We can help with crate training, potty training, house Manners etc. We have experience with Senior dogs ( most recent passed this December 2024 at 15 years old). I have had diabetic pets so am willing to administer meds as required. I have volunteered with a local rescue for 4 years now and have fostered for that long as well and have experience dealing with many difficult behaviors like resource guarding, counter surfing and more. Here at Bark n Kuddles we are a husband and Wife team so our dogs are very rarely alone. I teach high school so during the school day my husband takes the pups on walks, and outings and provides play time and snuggle time. When I am home we share the responsibilities and our kids are trained so they love on your babies too but they know boundaries and are very good at being mini pack leaders. The only time your pet would be alone is if we had to go somewhere as a family where dogs could not come but we have two pups of our own to keep them company but again that is rare that someone is not home. We only take one or two clients at a time as we have a small home but we take the dogs out on walks (Distance depends on the dogs need but could be 2 to 3 miles easily) and I have access to a big fenced in yard that my family owns should dogs need off leash time and play time (under our watch at all times of course). We do crate dogs when home alone for their safety and to protect the house but they get yummy kongs with frozen treats and other treats as long as owner is ok with it. We love on them how the pups want to be loved on. If they want to lay next to us we let them. If they prefer to just chill off to the side that's all good too. We also follow all owners instructions whether in our home or yours and give your baby the attention they need to keep them happy and safe while you are gone.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for more than 15 years. I got a dog when my son was about 5 years old and we‘ve had one ever since. I have two dogs now; a senior dog and another one who’s 5 years old. I’m currently working from home so I have lots of time to play with the dogs. I’m available for doggy day care, dog walks and boarding. I have a fenced in backyard and two dogs who would love nothing more than to keep your dogs company. I can crate your dog also if needed.

“I can not recommend Tiffany enough! She is one of the only people I will let sit with my dog when we go out of town! She is excellent with our gigantic, stubborn boy. Lol truly he gets so excited whenever she comes over! We can tell how well he is cared for just by his reaction to seeing her! She keeps in constant communication with us about any issues she's noticed. Keeps our house neat and tidy and most importantly makes sure he is loved and well cared for. Look no further you have for sure found your dog sitter in Tiffany!!”

“Morgan took very special care of my beagle, Roscoe! She accommodated to his every need including being a tad bit. Skittish. Would absolutely recommend her for any dog sitting needs you may have!”

“Heather did a fantastic job with our fur babies!! Sadly, our app had the wrong date, but Heather totally rescued the day and made sure to be there for our dogs. She's not only reliable, but very kind to our puppies and thoughtful. We were glad to come home to two happy pups and look forward to working with her again!”

“Sarah has done a fantastic job of taking care of Eli, making sure that he was well walked, played with, and loved. I would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone.”

“Michelle was very friendly and Coco seems to like her”

“Giselle has catered for my furry friend on multiple occasions, day and overnight stays. Giselle is responsible, dependable and cares for my pet like it's her very own.”

About: I’ve had animals all my life. I treat your fur babies like they are my own they will have so much fun with me taking care of them especially since I will be home most of the time I am currently available full time for boarding walks daycare etc I do accept same day bookings and will be flexible to meet your schedule If you have a fenced back yard I can play with your fur babies for hours or if they are in my home I will keep them occupied with plenty of toys and running around with them

“This is our first time using Rover and Holly has been so wonderful! Not only is she on time and reliable, she is great at communicating and my dog is so happy for his walks! She happily incorporates his training during his walks and checks in with us, asking questions when needed to make sure she is doing everything right. I would highly recommend 🐾”

“Simon is a dedicated and energetic dogsitter! He got along with my dogs immediately and always plays with them enough to wear them out (which is well-needed)! Very flexible and reasonable pricing, and a very pleasant and professional person. I highly recommend him!”

About: I have extensive experience with pets beyond just owning and training my own since childhood. This includes dog sitting for extended family members and neighbors, where I performed daily check-ins, walked them for potty breaks, and provided overnight house sitting. Since April 2025, I have also been volunteering at the Richmond Animal League (RAL) Shelter, where I work with a wide variety of dog breeds. Through this role, I’ve gained valuable hands-on experience accommodating to each dog's specific behavioral and medical needs to help prepare them for successful adoptions. I have a genuine love for animals and enjoy keeping them active and engaged through playtime! I’m very flexible and don’t have a set schedule at the moment, so I’m happy to work around your availability, just communicate your needs, and I’ll do my best to accommodate! If there’s no backyard space available at the client’s residence, I’ll take the pets to a nearby park or the long trails that lead to downtown Fredericksburg for a nice walk. I always carry my own pet snacks and an extra bag of food in case the client runs out, and I do the same with toys; I bring my own to keep the dogs entertained and engaged.

About: I have trained all of my dogs in obedience as well as agility. I have taken care of my senior dogs as well as a puppy. I have also walked all kinds of dogs at an animal shelter. During the summer I have very open availability and I am free most weekends and during the week. I am not free first week of June however. Respectable of others property while still giving the animals personalized attention. I work with them and have learned to be very patient with other cautious animals.

“Paige was a huge help with our dogs (German Shepherd and Chihuahua). Our usual walker was on vacation and Paige came highly recommended by our usual dog walker. She was very flexible with our dog walking budget and made me feel very comfortable. Paige exceeded expectations and the dogs loved her.”
