About: I offer drop-in visits and dog walking services for dogs, cats, birds, and small mammals. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, feeding, medication, enrichment, or just some extra company while you're away, my goal is to keep them comfortable, safe, and happy while maintaining their normal routine. I have professional experience in animal welfare and veterinary medicine, including caring for dogs, cats, exotics, reptiles, birds, livestock, and small mammals. I’m comfortable administering medications, recognizing signs of stress or illness, and working with pets of all personalities, including those who may be shy, nervous, or need a little extra patience. Animals have always been more than just a job for me; they're genuinely my passion. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care and accommodate a variety of scheduling needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry, feathered, or scaled family member, and I strive to provide reliable care, clear communication, and plenty of updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Currently available every day of the week. Pet care is already a regular part of my life. I recently moved and, for the time being, am unable to have my own cat with me, so I really miss having animals around outside of work. Pet sitting and dog walking are great ways for me to stay connected with animals while helping other pet owners. I have experience caring for senior pets and animals with medical needs, and I am comfortable administering medications as directed. I am patient, attentive to behavior cues, and focused on each pet’s comfort and safety. I also have experience continuing basic training and reinforcing routines already in place to support consistency and positive behavior.
“Alexander is amazing! He really loves dogs and shows so much love and care for our pup, Benji. We are so happy with his service! He gives us detailed updates each time and we are so thankful and relieved to know Benji is in great hands. :)”

“Bristol, is an incredible dog walker. She constantly kept me updated on how the walks went with the notes and pics. She went above and beyond with her commitment to walking my dog. Walking her in snow, and extreme cold and windy conditions. She made leaving my pets for a week 1000% less stressful knowing they were in kind and good hands. I would 1 million percent book with her again for future trips. Thank you Bristol!!!”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have nearly 7 years of dog sitting experience starting in middle school. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities and I pride myself on being extremely attentive, reliable, and detail oriented with every pet. I have experience handling multiple dogs at once including caring for up to five dogs for 7+ days, so I’m very comfortable with both longer stays in higher-energy households. I treat every dog like my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I also provide consistent updates so you can feel confident and not ease while you’re away. I’m a student at Virginia Tech with a flexible schedule, typically having at most two classes a day. Outside of class, I spent most of my time at home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. My routine makes it easy for me to incorporate walks, feeding, playtime, and check-in consistently. I’m able to adapt to each pets needs and schedule, whether that means early mornings, midday visits, or evening care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a pet friendly apartment with a fence dog area, so dogs have a safe place to get outside and play. I’m very attentive and make sure pets are always supervised and cared for based on their specific needs and routines. I also keep owners updated regularly so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Skyler is absolutely amazing! She cares for my dog while I am away at work and ensures she gets a full mile walk in just a half hour. She shares all the droppings my pup performs and sends pictures every time. It’s a shame she is only here for the summer because I would happily hire her year round.”


About: I am a dependable, caring, and patient animal lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your pets, and I always treat every animal like my own. I am comfortable with dog walking, feeding, playtime, administering basic care, and keeping pets on their normal routines to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I also work in healthcare, which has taught me responsibility, attentiveness, and compassion. I am currently a full-time college student home for the summer and work part-time, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive pet care throughout the week. I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, feeding, playtime, and check-ins during mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends depending on the day. I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, and I will always make sure your dog or cat receives plenty of attention, exercise, care, and companionship while you are away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand that every dog and cat has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I will carefully follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and special care requests provided. I am dependable, attentive, respectful of clients’ homes, and committed to creating a calm, safe, and loving environment for your pets at all times.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I grew up with a giant breed dog and three cats, currently have two cats of my own, and I am an animal shelter volunteer! I’m comfortable with dogs of any size and temperament (both laid-back cuddle bugs and high-energy dogs that need extra exercise and attention). Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just having someone nearby to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and always aim to make their time with me stress-free and fun! I just graduated college and my full time job doesn’t start until mid July, so other than the occasional hanging out with friends, I have a wide open schedule! I am extremely flexible and will follow the owner’s usual routine as much as possible. I am comfortable with leashed walks as well as supervising dogs in fenced yards — I will not walk dogs off-leash or leave unsupervised in yards. I am happy to take dogs on adventures or just chill, but for the most part I am happy to do whatever the owner prefers!

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs my entire life whether they’re mine or friends. I have a 80lb doberman/pitt mix making me very comfortable with large dogs, and a 10lb tabby cat making me comfortable with your tiny friends too! I work part time, and on days I do work I have a 2 hour lunch break. This allows me to be available for your furry friends whenever you need! I have experience walking dogs who are not fully leash trained and those that are reactive. I know the area well and am confident I can keep your furry friends safe and entertained!

“Fernanda was very professional and amazing with our mini dachshund! He is a very stubborn and loud puppy but she made him feel very comfortable and took care of him. I highly recommend Fernanda for any dog needs you may have! Thank you and we can’t wait to book you again!!”

“Megan is an amazing dog walker for my dog Bowie! She is easy to get in touch with and has been super flexible with scheduling. I know Bowie looks forward to his weekly afternoon walks!!”

“Lori is very communicative & my dog is at ease with her. We boarded her for the first time & it seems my dog didn’t seem worried or anxious when we got back. Thank you Lori! I know I don’t have to worry when I book in advance because she always remembers & is timely in her responses.”

“Daniel was fantastic with Jack! He was always on time and super reliable during the two weeks I was away. With Glenn working 6/10 shifts, Dan’s daily walks gave Jack a much-needed break and helped us out a lot. We’re really grateful for the care and consistency— we’ll definitely be using him again. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi everyone! I'm Charlotte and I'm a college student majoring in Wildlife Conservation. I've always loved all kinds of animals, and I have two cats at home! I have sitting experience with cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, rabbits, fish, and geckos. I’m a very active person and would love to play with dogs or take them on long walks. I also really enjoy a nice long cuddle session! I have so much love for animals and I love taking care of them. Please reach out if you think I'm a good fit for your pet! I will be able to fit pet care in very well. My other job is babysitting for two kids, and that has very flexible timing and I can always take them with me if needed. I can drive so I will be able to stop by houses easily! I can take dogs into my backyard where they can run around, but they won't be able to go in my house because I have my own pets. Likewise, I cannot bring cats into my own home because my cats do not get along with others. But I am more than willing to visit my client's home and stay overnight if necessary!
“Hailey is great. Super quick to respond, asks questions (doesn't assume), sweet with the dogs, provides detailed feedback. Looking forward to her watching our dogs for a long weekend.”


About: I have done long term care for 2 dogs and 7 cats for a family since I was 16, I as well am a go to sitter for many of my family members. I am comfortable with all sizes of dogs, as I have always have multiple around. Very familiar with high energy breeds as I have an Australian Shepherd myself. I am currently in between jobs so I will have all the time for your furry friends and look forward to getting to know them! My own dog is quite anxious so I am very familiar with ways to help other people's animals get to know me. I have never met and animal that didnt like me and that I didnt love too.
“I highly recommend this dog walker! They are reliable, punctual, and clearly care a lot about the dogs they work with. Communication is great—they provide updates and are easy to reach if anything comes up. It’s such a relief knowing my pet is in good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”

We booked another service with Paige for several days and she took the absolute best care of our pup! She provided consistent updates, was on time for each visit, and followed his daily routine without difficulty. We were traveling for holidays, so our minds were even more at ease knowing our pup was happy and well taken care of. I would highly recommend booking with Paige!
