Dog Walking in Cullenwood, Richmond, VA

“Kate was fabulous with my dog and my roommate's dog from the very beginning! My girl is usually loud and unfriendly with strangers but warmed up to Kate almost immediately. Everything about the experience was wonderful and I'd absolutely recommend Kate.”

About: I have always connected with animals! I've taken care of a variety of different pets: small to large dogs, cats, birds, and fish. I helped train my mom's standard poodle and frequently take him for walks. I regularly take care of a black lab that struggles with anxiety and have gained her trust! I also regularly have taken care of a friend's cat. I've been told by pet parents that I have a very calming energy, and it makes not only the animals trust me but also the pet parents! While I’m looking for full-time employment, I have lots of free time and am very flexible! Just let me know what your needs are and I’m happy to help! I live in an apartment building that is very pet-friendly. There is a fenced-in yard for potty breaks, and the neighborhood is also very walkable.

“Very impressive. Great caregiver for pets! My dogs love her visits. I highly recommend her to anyone needing pet care assistance.”

About: I have taken care of dogs from every breed and size for the past 5 years. I am an experienced, professional dog walker and sitter. I have plenty of experience with dogs with different personalities. I currently work part-time on Monday through Wednesday evenings, so I am available on Monday - Wednesday evenings as well as Thursdays - Sundays all day. I care for the pets in my/my client's home with diligence, respect, and compassion. I speak with the owner in advance to talk to them about their needs and expectations, make sure my house is clean and prepared for the dog's visit, then I diligently look after the dog and send updates to the owner.

“I cannot recommend Sierra highly enough! My dog, Mickey, ran down the hall to meet her on her second visit. He’s never done that. She obviously had Mickey’s seal of approval immediately. Sierra is conscientious, very communicative, and extremely kind. She has my complete trust and respect, because she treats Mickey as if he were her own. To me that is the absolute best quality in a dog walker! Choosing Sierra as your dog walker is the absolute correct decision! Having Sierra walk your dog will keep you worry free and happy while your pup gets good exercise, has fun and is treated like family 😃”

About: I love absolutely love dogs! I work from home as a Generative AI associate so my schedule is very flexible and ideal for taking care of your dog when you're busy or away. I'm available mornings, afternoons, or evenings, basically whenever you need. And my apartment is located in Shockhoe Bottom near two parks, ideal for walks. I grew up with Lhasa Apso pups (Cassie and Teddy) and have been dog-sitting and dog-walking for about 5 years. I've taken care of a variety of breeds, ranging from a Chinese crested to a boxer-pitbull mix. I'm a very compassionate, gentle, and patient person. I love spending time with dogs and look forward to meeting yours! :) I work from home, so pet care fits into my schedule super easily. I can take dogs out for potty breaks and walks as needed. I live in an apartment, so my living situation better aligns with smaller dog breeds. But park proximity still allows for walks and outside time.

About: Hi, my name's Joy and I recently moved to Richmond and look forward to getting to know the area through dogsitting! I have experience administering medications (especially to dogs that have a hard time with this), and crate and basic training, I work part-time from home with a flexible schedule, so I am very available for bookings during the week and weekends. I walk 5 miles a day on my own, but it's better with a dog, so I look forward to exercising your pup as much as they need! Pets are welcome on furniture and are permitted in all areas of my pet-proofed home. I am close to several parks with shaded walking paths and can walk pups around my neighborhood.

About: YOᑌ ᕼᗩᗪ ᗰE ᗩT ᗷᗩᖇK 𐂯 I've always had a passion for working with animals, and that love has only grown over the years as I've helped family and friends with their furry friends. I was lucky enough to spend three and a half wonderful years at 4 Dogs Pet Supplies, a charming local shop in Charlotte, NC. It was such a joy to meet so many wonderful dog breeds and discover the best products and care practices for our beloved pets. I also got to team up with another small business, where I had the pleasure of caring for both dogs and cats and plants—everything from playful puppies to treasured older pets. Each day was filled with rewarding experiences in animal care! On top of that, I've volunteered at animal shelters and even participated in an amazing equine therapeutic riding program. These experiences have really deepened my commitment to animal well-being and the importance of supporting our community. It's been a truly fulfilling journey! And am very thankful for those who have trusted me with the animals. ✮ I am currently out of school for the summer and have a part-time job, which gives me plenty of availability to help care for your animals. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I am available anytime after 1 PM for walks, drop-ins, or anything else you need. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, I can assist at any time. Let me know how I can help! 𐂯 I always strive to treat animals, plants, and homes with the same love and care I give to my own! My goal is to provide the best care possible for my clients, so I ask plenty of questions to understand their preferences. This helps me create a safe and secure environment while building trust with both the owner and their furry friends.

“Ashley is very sweet and communicative, she follows directions. she also took great care of my baby and look forward to another walk soon! Thank you so much for taking care of him!”

“Hannah walked my boy every day for 9 days when I was out of town. They walked for an hour every day and it was great! He really enjoys his long walks and Hannah made sure he had a great time. She is reliable and sent me great notes and pics every day.”

About: I have always had pets growing up from dogs of different sizes to bunnies and bird. Recently I have been taking care of my dog Dutch. He suffered from seizures all his life, so I have experience in bigger dogs and one with health issues. I have full availability. It may change due possibly picking up a part time job as I am preparing for a year long college course. Putting my dog through behavioral courses has helped me with heel training. So walking dogs of any size won't be an issue for me. Especially with it being so hot recently making sure the asphalt isn't too hot and not keeping dogs out for too long.

About: I've been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember. We've always had dogs at home. I was always the one responsible for walking them. One story I have is about my brown dog who was very sick—no one else had the courage to give him injections, but I did. I also made sure he ate and drank water. Everyone had lost hope, but I kept trying, and he survived. One day, he woke up happy and playful again! I also taught all of our family dogs how to sit and walk on a leash, and I was responsible for giving them baths too. I simply love them and would do anything for them. I also have experience as a dog sitter—I’ve even stayed overnight in their home and was responsible for administering their medications as well. I am at home most of the weekends and my husband too. I have a gap in the middle of the day 8-12 when I come back home and check the dogs and make sure they go out, I also come back from around 4:30. I have too dogs, Fin and Grace, from rescue, we got them when they were 5 months! They are brother and sister, if your dog likes play and run around this is great! And we are moving from an apartment to a house next weekend, the house is not fenced yet, but we are gonna make sure to do it as soon as possible!
