Dog Walkers in Denaro, VA

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and got my own dog when I was 14. Now there are 3 dogs at my house that I take care of during the day. I am attentive to the behavior of dogs and have a general understanding of it. I currently work at a museum on Monday and Tuesday, and am free any other time during the week. I am also a college student, and will be going back to school in late August. I will go on walks, play games and give your dog plenty of attention. Considering I have three dogs at my house, I am not comfortable bringing a client’s dog to my house in case there is a bad reaction to each other.

“Ericka was wonderful. She was knowledgeable ,on time and very attentive to our dog. We would use her over and over .”

About: My love of dogs started about 5 years ago when I rescued my first dog. Since then, I have acquired a load of knowledge not only in how to care for them, but also how to train them. I can provide mental and physical stimulation for your furry friend and bring most of my own equipment - I can also use the tools your pet is most familiar with. I can assess your pet to determine what your pet may need for stimulation, make suggestions for daily care, and learn at least some of their body language. My dogs and I are always interacting whenever I'm home, but most of our intentional fun/training happens for about 2-3 hours each day outdoors. This includes both training and walking. I also help some of my friends train their dogs whenever our schedules allow. I believe your dog should ALWAYS be in training and you can make almost any situation a training opportunity. Your pets can be treated as my own and/or according to your specific instructions. Do you have multiple dogs that need to be separated? No problem. Can your dogs be together but need to be supervised so tension doesn't continue to build? I got you covered there too! Does your dog pull too much on walks, need to learn how to act in-doors? I can work with your dog on those things as well in addition to other things!

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, starting with the many pets I grew up with. Over the years, I’ve gained experience house sitting and pet sitting for families and friends, ensuring their pets were happy and well cared for. While I still currently house sit for those with pets, I also work on a farm, where I handle a wide range of animals daily, further strengthening my skills and dedication to animal care! I’m a college student with a part-time job, and I excel at multitasking. Spending time with animals is not only enjoyable for me but also a great way to unwind. I’m available for regular walks, house sitting, and multiple daily check-ins, as well as overnight stays. With my short work shifts and a flexible class schedule, I can easily accommodate your pet care needs. Pets' safety is always my top priority when pet sitting. Ensuring a pet’s safety in their own home requires attentiveness and preparation. I carefully follow owner’s instructions, supervise the pet closely, and make sure the environment is free of hazards. I keep emergency contacts on hand, monitor the pet for signs of stress, and am prepared to act quickly if needed. I've also worked with many anxious pets in the past so I understand that they may need a little more care and closeness. With a focus on security and comfort, I provide consistent care while keeping owners updated for peace of mind.

About: I have been a dog lover all of my life and know how important their care is. Dogs are just part of the family! I love getting to know each dogs personality and figure go above and beyond to consider the needs of a variety of pups. I have a flexible schedule allowing me to provide constant care for your pup. I am interested in meeting and caring for all types of dogs, big/small, puppy or seniors! I can be as flexible as possible and will be honest about your pup’s care. I will treat your fur-babes like part of the family. We have a fenced in yard and If your pup is more comfortable as part of the pack, they are invited in to have the run of the house with our family dogs. We love dogs and will try to accommodate any special requests. Available to check in on your pups every 4 hours (m-f) and spend weekends all day with your dogs! I can check in with your pups every 3-4 hours during the day and be there to stay after 4 pm. I prioritize feeding and potty schedules to make sure there are little to no changes in their routines. I care for your pets like they are my own. Figuring out they’re behaviors and personalities is important to me. Some dogs need lots of love and attention and others like their space, either way they’ll be in great hands.

“Best dog walker that I have had so far!! 10/10. Highly recommend!”

About: I'm person that does the work and listen to the animals too. I worked with military working dogs. Have raised my own, I even sucker for the abandon ones too. My life has been learning how to groom, including nails, medicines and how to feed certain dogs due to there digestive track. I can mend, cuddle and play with all type.but snakes sorry I can't do that. My soon to be husband also loves animals such as I do because they also help with mental health. Emotional support and therapy dogs are a real thing and they do help. Just like the little young lady that found last months wonder the roads of Amelia County covered fleas and ticks and no tags or nothing she now how's her forever home . Just ever day thing for more I come home ever 2 to 3 hours to let mine out. DUE to the current job I currently have once this jobs takes off my plan is.to do this full time for all animals. We have fenced in back yard with 3 acrea with it in the middle of the Amelia that has been forgotten about. I retired military and retired law enforcement looking to find something better that what I currently doing. Animals and kids make me happy and they would have a forever ever home with me. Plus my family loves animals too. If the our place did work out the have 100 to play on for the day too. My husband is sucker for all types of animals too.

About: I have been taking care of my own dogs since I was young and love to be around all animals! I used to nanny for a family with 5 kids and they had a wonderful dog that I always helped to care for! Feeding and taking him to the groomers and vet appointments…all things that I was lucky to get to help with! I also used to care for 2 cats (both needing to take medication) and a bull dog on a daily basis! I have a Jack Russell (that just passed away) myself that I had for about 10+ years and no kids do she was my only fur baby! I have recently in the past year gotten a brand new puppy named Sugar! She is a beagle/terrier/lab mix and 25 pounds of Adorableness! She is so sweet And absolutely my little girl, as she follows me everywhere and tries to be wherever I am, and always under foot!!! She’s a little skittish and still all puppy at eight months! So I am no stranger to puppy needs at all! I also have Bella, who is a pit/beagle mix and she is a little over a year and a half old! She is 60 pounds of crazy but happy and smart and always at my husband side! What a love bug! But remember, with pets, there is no personal space! Lol I love pets of all kinds and will care for them as if they were my own! Snuggles are free!!! I am currently a part-time private nanny, to a bunch of different families who may need care for their little ones day a week, and my schedule is always changing from week to week! This is a little niche that I found that nobody was able to fill, and I wanted to dedicate my career to helping those families who only need four hours a day one day a week and that doesn’t necessarily need to be the same day. As my schedules always changing, my availability will always be changing so I will try to keep that up-to-date as I hope more of you reach out! I’m really looking forward to all the snuggles! I am always very mindful of the time for feedings and walks…any medication will be given correctly and timely…I will make sure your home is locked up after I leave from a walk and/or feeding! Please know that I will do my best to. Gain the trust of the animal! Cats too!

About: I've had dogs since I can remember. My fiancé watched dogs in the past with rover and I would always help. Take the dogs to the park on my days off, play outside, and train them when needed. I am currently on veterans disability so I can focus my whole day to your furry friend. No worry about being stuck in all day. I have 5 acres of yard for them to play on. I have lots of space if needed, room for crates, room outside. Plenty of space so your furry friend won't feel trapped. My animals mind their own.

“I can’t thank Sophia enough for taking care of our babies! She was available at the last minute. Was so flexible and loving and kind. We were gone all day. She stopped in for 2 visits. Sent us pictures and communicated with me throughout the visit. When we got home both our dogs were so very calm and not distressed at all! Thank you thank you thank you!! If we weren’t visiting from out of town we would DEFINITELY be your repeat clients 100 %!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. We currently have 2 large dogs. I can administer medication. I have a very flexible schedule. My schedule is very flexible since I have a 2.5yr old daughter. My husband is also home about 50% of the month which makes my schedule even more flexible.

About: My love for animals (Especially dogs) started at a very young age and only progressed as I got older. I grew up learning how to care for many different animals including chickens, Bunnies, Dogs & Cats. Since living on my own I’ve cared for many dogs from Chihuahua’s to Pit bull’s to Great Danes.

Both of my dogs are very sweet & have the best personalities to make your dog feel safe & at home. I’ve also taken care of dogs with dog/people Aggression so I am no stranger to handling serious situations. My sister is a Vet-Tech and has taught me many important things when it comes to taking care of pets including medically. I can’t wait to meet your babies & love them as much as my own!! I only accept dog care when I’m a able to be home with them! If any other circumstances were to arise I would discuss with you before booking to make sure you’re ok with the care your dog will receive! I will always treat animals with love & patience. Dogs will be kept inside of the home unless being taken out for a potty break or play time. All Dogs are allowed on furniture in my house unless Owner Request Otherwise. I also own a Very LARGE crate & a small one for dogs who’s owners prefer them to be kenneled or kennel trained.

As a college pre-med student with a passion for pets, I balance my studies with caring for animals, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life and will treat your dogs as if they were my own, with love and affection and a sense to have all the fun! I can bring toys and if you request my own pup to play she loves new friends I've walked dogs for friends, family and to those who requested it via my sitting and walking ads. Any special needs you may have for your pet can be easily met such as dietary, grooming requests or special medication. I can ensure you your dog will be well taken care of and in the best possible hands! I work remotely so I can mend my schedule to help take care of your furry friend. Just let me know what you need and we can work something out! I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room for sunbathing or watching the birds go by. My neighborhood is nice and safe for use to take regular walks throughout the day!

About: While I grew up with dogs throughout my adolescence, I also have years of experience working as a pet sitter and dog walker. I spent years working at a dog daycare and veterinary clinic as a technician, and prior to that was working as a pet sitter in community. I have always had a passion and immense love for animals , and deeply enjoy being able to take on work that allows me to spend time with them. My own dog, Kaia (the Golden Retriever puppy pictured), means the world to me so I know first hand how nerve wracking it can be to leave your dog in the care of someone else. I will provide your dog with patience, kindness, compassion, and fun, and hopefully be able to ease some of those worries! I have a very flexible schedule with a lot of free time that allows me to prioritize Rover. I can usually work around your schedule to walk your pup whenever needed! Growing up around dogs & having worked with them, I feel I have a good understanding of safety and the precautions necessary to ensure it. I am very patient and understand that each dog is unique and will have its own individual traits and needs. Working with dogs is such a passion of mine which allows me to bring lots of enthusiasm and joy into the job. Because of my own dog I will not be offering pet-sitting services in my own home, but am excited to offer walking services and pet sitting in the client’s home.

“Gabby did a great job on coming by the house and walking Goldie while I was out of town. I received text messages when she was picked up, dropped off, and details of the walk taken, and how many times there bio functions done. She is a really conscientious sitter, and took great care avoiding other dogs that might be a problem on the walk. I would hire her again, and recommend her to anyone that needs a dog walker.”
