Dog Walkers in Dodds Corner, VA

“Malia is wonderful and was able to do a drop in at short notice.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own large dog as well as pets belonging to neighbors, so I'm comfortable with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I'm a mix of energetic and calm, which helps me adapt to whatever a pet needs. Whether that's a fun, active walk or a slow relaxed pace. I’m a college student's home for the summer, which makes my schedule very flexible for your pet's care. I am available most days for walks, drop-ins, and cat visits. I want to make sure each pet is getting my full attention during each visit. The only set times I’m unavailable are Monday, Tuesdays and Thursdays mornings from 8:30am to 10:25am while I'm taking a summer course to help with my degree. Outside of that, I’m free to adjust to your pet’s routine and ensure they get the care and companionship they deserve. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always make safety my top priority. I follow your pet’s routine exactly as you describe it and make sure to double check doors, gates and harnesses before and after every visit to make sure your pet stays safe. I like to keep your home just as you left it, lights, locks, and routines are all respected. I’m also mindful of keeping things clean, especially around food and litter areas. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, relaxed and cared for while giving you peace of mind that both your home and your furry family member is in good hands.

About: I will offer the love and attention your animal deserves! This family (me, my husband, and our two children, ages 16 and 13 all dog crazy and will be tending to your baby(ies) with love and care. We always treat our canine visitors like they are family. I have experience with a diabetic animal as well, and gave insulin shots for four and a half years to our Pug, Bill. I promise you will get photos and updates during your pet’s stay, and I will not compromise on keeping them safe and secure at all times. We only watch one dog from one family at once, but I will watch two to three dogs from the same family. I will bathe, nail trim, and brush any breed. I will walk them at least twice a day, for about a mile each time, if your dog can handle that physically. I always listen to your animals needs and will honor them. We have a family pet named Ted. He is a three year old Pug. He gets along well with every animal he has ever encountered. We would insist on a new boarding client coming over for a meet and greet first. I would be able to care for your pets in our home. We do not have a fenced yard. I typically will put pets on leashes for their potties and walks unless the owner tells me they are comfortable with them going out with me into the yard for a potty unleashed.

“We were so nervous as our dog watching plans fell through. I hopped on rover and was quickly put at ease by Elena. The most amazing experience ever. Far exceeded our expectations for taking care of our fur baby. Winston, my dog, fell in love. Amazing communication and super accommodating. Elena sent several pictures every visit that showed our doggy was happy every walk she took him on. She gave him food and water twice a day every day and took him on wonderful adventures. Very prompt responses and updates on our puppy made us so glad we chose Elena. Her messages every visit made us smile and put us at ease. I can't stress enough how wonderful she is. Stop looking and book her now! I have found our forever puppy sitter. Thanks again Elena.”

“Laurie is a very important part of my beloved Frisbee. Her updates give me joy during my stressful days at work. We truly love her knowledge on how to ensure our pet is on the right path to a healthy balance.”

About: I’ve loved animals all my life. I’ve dog sat for neighbors for days at a time and walk my own dog as well as neighbors dogs frequently. I am available majority of the time especially in summer. There may be times i am unavailable for a certain time for vacation or certain hours when school begins. My yard is fenced, my dog loves to play outside so we will play with her for hours at a time. She gets lots of attention as we treat her as family.

About: I care for small, medium and large dogs of all kinds and ages in your home. Senior dogs are welcome, pups too. They will get exercise, playtime and lots of love. I are retired and have 3 dogs. I will walk pets on your property, a park or in town, your/your dog's preference. I have cared for special needs and senior cats and dogs. Will play with puppies and shy or anxious dogs. I treat dogs as they prefer - walking them and playing with them in all kinds of weather if permitted. Rest, recess and running are all important but giving pets attention is a must! I get to know them and build trust as they need.

About: I’m owned by a dog who never leaves my side, so I understand that your pup isn't just a pet—they’re a companion. I bring that same 'velcro' level of attention to your home, ensuring your dog feels seen, heard, and loved while you're away. My daily routine is built around being mobile and available. Because I don't host dogs in my own home, my 'workday' is entirely dedicated to traveling to yours. This allows me to give your pet 100% of my attention during our scheduled time without the distractions of other animals or chores. When I enter your home, my priority is making your dog feel safe and excited. I start every visit with a calm greeting to assess their mood. Whether they are a 'velcro dog' who wants immediate cuddles or a curious explorer ready to hit the pavement, I adapt to their energy level.
