Dog Walking in Downtown, Charlottesville, VA

“Aiden is the best walking companion for our doggo! Amazing communication and also very accommodating when schedules change. Our dog had surgery and Aiden was so wonderful keeping him company, in addition to feeding him and giving him medication. We’re so grateful for Aiden’s help!”

“Dakota connects well with our dog Patrick and is able to re-direct him when he wants to just turn around and come home. Our pup can be just one small ball of over excitement and exuberance and they handle that well. Dakota has been very reliable and always lets me know if he needs to adjust the time a bit.”

“Christian was an amazing caregiver for our pup while we were gone. She's extremely thoughtful and thorough about getting to know each animal before beginning her time with them, and as a rescue owner I really appreciated that! Will definitely be using her again.”

“James did a great job! We have an older dog and a puppy, and James walked both of them. He communicated with us throughout the day about their walks, and he was flexible with his scheduling for us. We will definitely use James again, and we would highly recommend him to any other dog owners.”

“Doris is fabulous—responsive and professional. She’s only walked our beagle twice, but he’s already so excited to see her. And he comes back happily tired.”

“Cait was incredible! She watched my 1 year old cat while I was gone on vacation and was lovely! She sent updates, was quick to respond, and was super reliable. I felt great throughout the whole process. Highly recommend!”

“I'm very thankful to have found Emil. I work in retail and consequently work almost every weekend. Emil walks my little chihuahua for me every Saturday and Sunday. He's very reliable and I never worry that he won't be able to make it. He also responds to any requests or questions very quickly. I wholeheartedly recommend Emil if you need someone to help care for your pups!”

“Kiersten has been dog sitting me for about a year. My dog warmed up to her extremely quickly, which isn’t usually the case for her. She sends me lots of pictures during her visits as well. Each time I arrive back from a trip, my dog is always happy and healthy!”

“Bailey is an extremely responsible caregiver for animals. Being my roommate for nearly 5 years now, she has helped me take care of my own cat when I go out of town, and treats her as her own even when I am there! When it comes to caring for animals, Bailey does much more than the bare minimum of ensuring safety and food. While these are essential, Bailey understands that playing and interacting with animals is equally important. In other words, your pets will not only be taken care of, but they will also have fun playing, going on walks, and interacting. I would highly recommend Bailey to anyone looking for someone to watch their animals!”

“My dog is such a happy pup on days Scott comes to visit. He gets ample walk a fetch time. Scott is kind and attentive and always give Rooster ample fun time. I’d recommend him to anyone”

“Sloan was fantastic with my energetic pup! She was on time and took her on a much needed walk around the neighborhood. She followed my requests perfectly and I felt confident my fur baby was in trustworthy hands.”

“Amy is a kind, caring person who has loved animals her whole life! She goes above and beyond to care for her own and other animals and she would be a great choice to help care for yours. Her genuine spirit is felt my all and animals love her! She’s a natural!”

“Livvy loves dogs and it showed with the care they gave to my dog. They engaged my high-energy dog via play, twice daily walks and overnight company. I highly recommend Livvy for your pet-care needs.”

“Thank you Kris! My pups always look so happy in the pictures with you and it’s the best thing in the world having a peace of mind that they are being taken care so well!”

“Jessica is fantastic! This was one of the first times our dog was taken out by someone she didn’t know very well. Our dog can be shy but warmed up to Jessica right away. She was so great with her and communicated so well with me. I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was in her hands!”

“Rorey did a wonderful job looking after our cats when we were out of town. It was comforting to know that they would be cared for by someone we could trust and who clearly loves animals!”

“Rhiana was amazing! She was fantastic at communication, sending us updates & pics. Our golden doodle shoshi was so happy and well taken care of when we came home. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone who needs a reliable, kind and great dog Walker!”

“Thank you so much for walking Olav. I can tell he really loves you. Will definitely ask for you again. Would be good to have you walking him regularly.”

About: I have cared for dogs individually for over 9 years, but have grown up around dogs my entire life. My love for dogs started as a little girl, when my uncle adopted 10 abandoned beagles and I helped him take care and raise them all! When I became a teenager, I used all of the skills I learned as a child and applied them to start dog sitting in people’s homes, and dog walking. It started with coworkers of my mother, and word of mouth made my schedule full my entire high school and college career. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, and ages. I have four dogs of my own, a lab-pit mix, hound mix, jack russel, and a shih tzu. Now that I live in a new area, I would like to start making new dog friends, and gaining a new clientele. As I am new to the area, my schedule is quite open for drop ins and dog walking. I am available any time of the day to check in on your dogs! As I build a solid schedule, availability will change respectfully. I will care for your pets in your home during drop in visits, and walking routines as you (the client) instructs. Over the years, I have learned that everyone’s routines are different and having my own dogs I know how important regularity and routine is.

“Winnie loves her walks with Amanda! Amanda has been wonderful, great communication and always shares cute pictures. She’s been able to adjust schedule as needed. Highly recommend!”
