Dog Walkers in Clarks Gap, VA

“Our lil Bubba loved his walks with Lea and we felt at peace leaving our home and our pup to her care. She left us adorable notes at each visit to tell us details about the walk and was kind, caring and punctual. We will definitely be requesting her services again.”

About: I grew up with so many animals and was taking care of them as soon as I could walk! We had at least 3 dogs at a time, a cat, etc. I love to take my dogs on long walks! I’m currently working at a restaurant during the weekday nights but available daytime and mornings! My family moved away and took the animals so I’m wanting that animal love back in my life! I just make sure they’re being taken care of and getting lots of exercise and pets! Pet affection is the best type of love and I miss it!

“Noah has been great with our golden retriever puppy! He is always on time and our pup clearly loves his time with him. Would highly recommend him!”

“Great walker/sitter. Does job reliably every time and always polite & professional. If you hire her, you'll get exactly what you expect with no issues.”

“We love Kaitlyn! My dog is very scared of strangers and she's been open to helping me train that out of him. We've been slowly working up to her being the only person on the walk. It's working so well, he actually gets excited when she comes. Cannot say enough good things.”

About: I've had dogs since I was 11 and I have my own puppy who I am owner-training. I can walk, bathe, do minimal training, or dog sit for you. I will work with you to be flexible around your dog's routine and my schedule. Let me know in advance what you need so I can work with you. I treat dogs like family. I understand how much our pets mean to us. I also have experience with ESAs and Service Dogs. I know how important your dog is to you and I will treat them like my own.

“Great job Joanne! Thank you!”

About: You want the best for your pup and we do too! We have a large fenced yard which allows for lots of potty breaks and playtime. We live a few miles from a dog park, and are a big outdoor family. We are firmly a no bed/furniture family, and hope your dog will be happy with his/her own bed and/or crate. My husband and I both work from home, so there are plenty of potty breaks throughout the day, as well as 2x daily walks. We are happy to accommodate your dog whether he/she is crate-trained, or just needs to be in a room while we're away. We look forward to having your dog come and stay with us!! We both work from home and have flexibility. We currently do not have any pets so your pup can settle in as if it was home-2 We are a small family with a fenced yard and relaxed environment. A loving family with lots of experience with small and large pets; we’ll become their second home!

About: I have two fur babies that I love and care for very much! My husband and I are constantly on the go walking, running and playing with our 4 year old lab but also enjoy relaxing and snuggling up with our 6 year old cat. I grew up with dogs and cats in the family and have helped care for many friends' pets while they were away. I know how stressful it is to leave your animal in the care of another person so I promise to provide a safe and loving environment for your animal at all times. Please feel free to message me if you have any other questions or concerns! Looking forward to getting to know you and your furry babies! I’m currently a stay at home mom to my 2 year old daughter so I would be available for drop in services throughout the week and on weekends! I have a fully fenced in back yard and our dog is fully crate trained so I’m comfortable crating a dog if necessary. I’m comfortable using harnesses and retractable leashes when walking as my dog has used them.

“Kally has been so great with Aurie! She keeps her word, and takes such great care of her. We have been very happy with her services and will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and have years of experience as a veterinary assistant and shelter aide. From giving medications to walking dogs of any size, I’m comfortable with it all. I’m especially patient with shy or skittish dogs and always help ensure they feel safe and loved. I'm also a distance runner with lots of experience running dogs, so if you have a high-energy pup that needs a good jog, I'd be more than happy to do that!! I'm entirely self-employed, so my schedule is quite flexible! I’m happy to adjust my schedule when needed to make sure your pets get the care and attention they deserve :) When I visit your home, I treat your pets and space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I make sure doors and gates are secure, follow all care instructions closely, and keep a careful eye on your fur baby during walks or visits. Their safety and comfort always come first, and I do my best to keep their routine familiar so they feel at ease while you’re away.

About: Have only had 9 months total of my life without a dog or a pack of them by my side. Your fur baby will be fostered as one of my own; their walk, run, or potty break is all about them! With guidance from you, we will move at their pace. If they want to go for a run... then we run! If they prefer to walk tree to tree and smell every flower, that's fine too! I am available early mornings and mid-days during the week. I also have availability nightly to check on the pups and make sure they're ready for bed. I look forward to meeting the needs of your family, if it be walking or running the dogs, or making sure they are comfortable in your home, just let me know. I am fortunate enough to have a remote role, so my schedule is usually set to my own dog's needs. I am by no means a gym rat or a marathon runner. Yet that doesn't stop me from getting in usually 2-6 miles a day, both walking and running. While my dog is crate trained, it would be great if yours is as well, for those few errands that may take me away for up to 4 hours at a time (a busy week would be 3 half days in the office)

“Fantastic! On time and really puts in extra effort with Moose!”

About: I've had many dogs since I was a kid and I've learned to love caring for them. My family currently has three dogs and I enjoy taking them on long walks and to the dog park to run around. I also have experience handling puppies. I'm currently a student at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC. I have availability for pet sitting during the school week and over the weekends! Over college break, I reside in Loudoun County, VA. I am available for pet sitting any time during those breaks! In my home I ensure my pets are let out when they need to go potty, their water bowl is never empty, they are fed on time, and they are taken on walks daily. In my client's home I will follow those same guidelines as well as any additional requests asked of me.

About: I started taking care of neighbors' and friends' dogs, cats, fish, hamsters and birds when I was 14 years old. I love animals and wildlife of all kinds. I have been a cat and dog mom for 28 years and have had 2 leash and dog-reactive dogs (strong, 60 pound+ mutt and pit bull) so I am experienced in dealing with these situations. I have strong situational awareness with my head on a swivel when walking dogs. My senior kitty required specialized medical care at the end of her life with daily prescription medication and subcutaneous fluids. I have volunteered as a dog walker and cat snuggler at Friends of Homeless Animals rescue. I have been a social worker for 30 years and am nearing retirement from full-time employment. I would love to use my love of animals to continue working as a pet-sitter and dog walker. I am very organized, detail-oriented and will care for your pet as I care for my own. I would love to meet you and your pets to see how I can be of service. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday but am retiring at the end of September. My weekends are currently free. I have some flexibility in my weekday schedule so I may be available on a case-by-case basis for weekday dog walks that are in western Loudoun County and within a 10 minute drive of my home. I will care for your pet in your home so that they will be the most comfortable. I am available for overnight stays to keep your pet company and to provide close supervision, lots of TLC, food, water, potty breaks and anything else you may need. I am a non-smoker and non-drinker. I am very detail-oriented, responsible and dependable. As a bit of an overprotective dog mom, I have needed to entrust my dog's care to a pet sitter. My dog is my world. So I know just how valuable trust, dependability and attention to detail are. What matters to you matters to me. I will follow your instructions down to the smallest detail. I will be diligent in communicating with you, sending regular updates and photos of your pet so that you know they are safe and happy in my care.

About: I have always had dogs as companions. My dogs have always been part of the family attending family gatherings, hikes and vacations. I am an outdoors person so the weather never keeps us indoors. I believe dogs need a lot of mental stimulation and fun toys to play with. A comfy bed is important and their own space to chill. Our family loves dogs and we have an active household. We lost our lab recently so everyone loves to give hugs to any dog that comes around! I am an approved Labrador foster mom with lab rescue. Excited to give your dog some love and attention while you are away. Want you to feel confident that your pet is getting the best care when you can’t be there!

About: I have taken care of many animals for friends and families for 4 years. I enjoy being able to hang out and give love to fur buddies. I am typically free many days out of the week due to being home from college! My schedule happens to be very open and flexible. I care for pets by being attentive and making sure I am keeping a close eye on them. I am aim to keep them company and engage with them.
