Dog Walkers in Claytonville, VA

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A True Gem – Like Family to Us and Maximus! We feel incredibly lucky to have found Hannah—she’s not just a dog walker, she’s part of our family. Our dog Maximus is truly our baby (especially now that our kids are grown and out of the house), and knowing that Hannah cares for him with the same love and attention we do means the world to us. Hannah has been with us for over three months now, and in that time she’s become someone we fully trust with our most spoiled and beloved family member. She’s reliable, flexible with our crazy schedule, and always greets Maximus with affection and warmth. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does. Maximus absolutely adores her! She goes above and beyond to make sure he feels cared for when we’re not home, which gives us such peace of mind. We treasure Hannah and everything she does for our family. If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog like their own, look no further. She’s truly one of a kind.”

“Sherry took our menagerie of dogs and cats in stride when she arrived and she handled my dog Duncan with ease during the walk. She obviously loves animals and my dog, who is sometimes shy with strangers, immediately liked her and will be happy to see her the next time she comes. I highly recommend her if you need a good caretaker for your pets.”

“Kimberly is incredible!!! She always take such good care of my baby while I’m at work and sends me tons of pictures. I’m never worried when Kimberly is coming. My dog is also very anxious of people and she warmed right up to her. I can’t say enough good things about her. Highly recommend!!!”

About: Ive been an animal lover since I was a child. Making friends with all the pets on my street. Bring home strays I find. Animals feel naturally comfortable with me and can sense my gentle spirit. I can make the most anxious pet feel loved and safe. I have house sit for my coworkers and bosses. To trust me with your pet would be like trusting me with your child. And I treat them just like one of my own. I am looking forward to meeting your pet and making them feel loved and safe. I am a stay at home mom of two girls that are natural animal lovers too. They are middle school and highschool age. They have a gentle caring spirit with animals too. Just like their mom. I take my dog to the park twice a day to walk or play in the dog park. I have partially fenced in back yard with plenty of acres to run or explore on leash. I live on a dead end road in the country with less traffic. My house has always been pet friendly and pets can cuddle with me or my children on the beds and sofa. They are family like us and have free range. For cats I have a door I can keep shut to the living room so they can be safe and still have plenty of room to explore or find soft comfortable hiding spaces. I currently own one dog who is friendly with all other pets but if the other pet feels uncomfortable I have plenty of space to keep separate. I also own two cats that come in and out through their own special area that's all theirs. I have two children that are older and know how to interact gently with animals and love to spoil them. I go to the dog park daily with my dog and enjoy walking with her in the park. Your pet will get plenty of attention, activities and exercise while being in a safe environment.

About: I cared for my family dog for 12 years until she passed, as well as cared for my family and friends furry animals over the years. I’m currently working full time. Can be available before 10:00-11:00 am and in evening after 6:30pm or 7:30pm. Work schedule rotates, and can be flexible. I’ll make sure they are safe at all times, and well taken care of. Take them on walks, feed them if needed, and play of course!

“I was nervous having someone come into my home and take my pup on walks while I’m at work but Megan has been so great! My dog Dixie loves her! Thank you Megan for what you do! 😁”

About: I was born into a home with canine sisters and grew up with both cats and dogs. While I love all sorts of dogs, I have spent most of my life caring for cats. I also have training in cat and dog first aid. I'm a professor, and I travel to RI once per week. The remainder of the time, I work from home, libraries, and cafes, so I have plenty of time to hang out and play with your kitties or pups. I can also take breaks for walks throughout the day, as I mostly set my own schedule. I will interact with your fur babies on their own terms. For kitties, this might mean lots of cuddling and playing or hanging out and talking from across the room until they feel comfortable with me. I send pictures and updates at least once from every visit. Most of my recent dog experience with dogs has been with friends' pitties, which has always involved playing a lot. I am unfortunately unable to board animals at this timem

“Rob is awesome and we see it in our dogs reaction when he arrives to walk her. I work from home and unable to exercise her due to my schedule, but Rob is always punctual and considerate while I’m on the phone when he picks up and drops off our 95 lb lapdog. We highly recommend him.”

About: Hey there my name is Allison and I am a huge animal lover! I will love on your fur babies while you are gone and make sure they have what they need! As someone that has every pet but a dog of her own and has always wanted one, I will completely take advantage of the time I get with yours! I am comfortable with whatever is in need feeding, walks, backyard play, even just hanging out at the house and keeping your animal company! I have experience with a wide range of animals and I will make sure your needs are met! I am so excited and looking forward to meeting you and your sweet fur baby! Whatever animal comes my way I will make sure they are taken care of!

About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life being exposed to all kinds of critters from dogs and cats to rabbits and tortoises. I spent 4 years working in a dog boarding facility where I honed my dog walking and caring abilities. I go on long walks and runs with the pups and can give medicine to our older fur friends. If it’s related to caring for pets, I’ve done it! I’ve pet/house sat off and on for the last 8 years, so I know how to best care for you fur family and your home. I always try to give the pets a little grooming while they're with me and can tidy your home while you're away! I currently am a physical therapy student at Shenandoah so my week days during the semester are filled with learning and studying. I get an extended lunch and my days usually end around 3-4 so I can stop by during lunch or be back in time for an afternoon potty break before dinner. I can accommodate longer days with extended morning walks or sensory challenges for the pups while I’m away. This will keep their mind and nose active while I’m away I don’t currently have any pets of my own so yours will be safe from others and get all my love and attention. I keep my home nice and clean and am happy to clean/tidy up while a guest in others homes. I always leave places cleaner than I found them!

“Joanna was terrific. Dolly really enjoyed jogging and walking with Joanna!”

About: I have worked in pet care/home care for over a decade! I work as a dog walker for a company in Berryville, and I also work as a groomer for a Newfoundland Breeder with show dogs. I have had experience as a vet technician as well! I am comfortable will all types of dogs and would love to meet yours❤️ I provide daily dog walking services and breaks, in home boarding or house sitting. Dog walking and pet care is more then simply providing the basics, I appreciate the trust that owners give when having someone provide care for there beloved animals. Respect, genuine love, trust and a building relationship goes into each pet a care for. Pet care is full time for me, and I am available weekly and in the weekends. My schedule is generally flexible and I can usually accommodate even last min requests. However I do occasionally have a fully scheduled week and any house sitting or dog sitting requests would be easier to schedule with a couple weeks notice. I do not currently have a fenced in yard, but I provide walks and potty breaks by walking on a leash as needed. I live close to 2 dog park’s and I love to take them there to burn off energy ( as long as dog parks are not an overwhelming experience and the owner agrees it is ok to visit one ), I also enjoy bringing them along as a running and hiking buddy on the several nature trails near me. If I am watching a pet in their own home, I will just keep up with the normal routine as stated by the owner, and of course always check with you to make sure any new activities we try are ok

“Margaret arrived on time and gave the dogs a nice long walk. Plus, she re-worked her schedule to be there for me. Will definitely use again.”

“Olivia is so good with our dog. She stays overnight sometimes and also walks her when we travel. I trust Olivia completely with our pup and with our home!”

About: I have owned and trained dogs most of my life, grew up on a farm with all types of pets and find it second nature to treat them like family. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I can house sit, drop in or stay with your pet as long as you need someone. My dog has a fenced in yard and is at day care for socialization M-F so I can have my full attention on your dog. I currently work from home part time so I have plenty of time for your pet! I am awake early and have a flexible schedule to fit yours. I make sure you and your pet are comfortable with me and follow instruction when caring for your pet. You know your pet best and I want them to be happy and content with me.

About: Since I’ve been little I have always been around animals. I grew up with a border-collie and then added a small cavalier to the family too. And then later on I adopted two kittens, so I’ve had plenty of time around both young and older animals. I’ll make sure that whatever your pet needs, they’ll be my top priority. Currently a student at Shenandoah University but I have lots of free time since I have most classes online. I’m available for any day and all hours so please reach out! In my home pets have free roam over the yard, I do have a decent amount of land. Safety and environment within the house is no issue, I can safely crate or help with your animals in any way possible.
