Dog Walking Dumfries

“Once again Samantha did an amazing job with our Prince. She does such a great job and you can tell she loves what she does because it shows in how she treats and cares for our pup. Her communication is top tier I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, giving me 15 years of hands-on experience across all breeds and sizes. From large, powerful breeds like Rottweilers, Pitbulls, and Great Danes to spirited Schnauzers and my current 4-year-old French Bulldog, I understand how to adjust my care to every dog's unique personality and energy level. Whether your pup needs confident, experienced handling on walks or gentle, focused attention, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Pet care is my top priority! I manage my schedule carefully to ensure every dog gets full attention, frequent bathroom breaks, and daily exercise. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or house sitting, I have flexible availability to match your dog's exact daily routine. Having raised dogs my whole life—from large breeds like Great Danes and Pitbulls to smaller pups like my Frenchie—I prioritize safety above all else. In your home, I keep the environment secure, strictly follow all feeding and leash protocols, and provide frequent updates and photos so you have total peace of mind.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have had experience with animals since I was growing up. I had a dog, a rabbit, and birds, and I currently have a cat that I love and care for. My aunt and uncle also have a small farm with lots of roosters, so I often help them take care of the animals, raise them, and spend time playing with them. Caring for animals is more than just a responsibility to me; it is something I genuinely enjoy and have a passion for. I’m always willing to make time in my day to give animals the love, attention, and care they need. I always make an animal’s safety and well-being my top priority. I stay attentive to their needs and surroundings at all times, creating a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment.

About: I have had pets all my life. I started helping take care of my cat and dogs at around 10 years old. I help out with my friends and extended family members pets as well. My dog takes medication in the morning so I can administer medication if needed. She has also gone through two surgeries so I can help during pet recovery as well. I’ve had hyperactive dogs as well as territorial/ toy-aggressive dogs and know how to deal with them. I have also had dogs who needed extra care due to being old. I do know a little bit about training dogs but not much. I work part time and go to college full time. However, I live at home with my parents so I can fit pet care into my schedule. I have a fenced backyard for my dog to run around or just lay outside. I walk her 2/3 times a day and she gets fed twice a day, morning and evening. I also spend a lot of time with her whether it’s playing around or just watching tv. If I am caring for someone else’s pets, I feed the pets and play with them as well as hang out with them.

As the owner of my own business, I have the flexibility to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. My schedule allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine, ensuring that each pet receives dedicated attention and personalized care. With years of experience in dog training and pet care, I prioritize safety and trust in every interaction. My comprehensive understanding of animal behavior ensures that I can anticipate and manage potential risks, creating a secure environment for pets. This expertise allows me to build strong, trusting relationships with both pets and their owners, providing peace of mind and ensuring the highest standard of care.

About: I used to work for the pet sitter company for the last 5 years and working with many various of sized dogs including cats. Willing to take care of special needs pets. I also can cover your fish feeding, lizards, and ferrets if needed. Hit me up. We can plan a planning. Woof woof! I’m currently self - employed part time. I’m usually available on many days. Would like to walk early morning and midday when you’re going to work or far away. Can cover the same pet in evening if something happens suddenly. Unfortunately, I live in someone’s place and have to follow his policies. No pets allowed in my home but good news I can take care of your pets in your sweet home.

About: I’ve had a love for dogs ever since I was 9 and had one of my own and a few years later added another pup. I absolutely love being around animals and plan to work with them in the future. I have extreme experience in puppies and senior dogs! I’m currently in school part time so have lots of extra time to walk your lovely dogs! Mornings and Afternoons work best around my working schedule! I have a crate if needed with plenty of beds, blankets, toys and of course treats! I have a small fenced backyard for running around with a deck for sun bathing! Also I have a dog park across my house for extra playtime.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life, with dogs being a big part of that experience. I’ve owned dogs of my own for years, volunteered with local animal shelters, and fostered dogs, puppies, and kittens with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve also cared for my own senior dogs and reactive dogs through different medical needs, which taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and paying close attention to changes in behavior or routine. I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies, kittens and energetic young dogs to seniors who need a slower pace and extra care. I take the time to understand each as an individual and provide a balance of exercise, enrichment, structure, affection, and plenty of downtime. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I’m available for regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and enrichment, and I can adjust to each pet’s usual routine as much as possible. I’m also able to accommodate different schedules and will communicate with you about your pet’s routine before their stay so they can feel comfortable and settled in my home! My priority is providing a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. Before a stay, I like to learn about each pet’s routine, personality, triggers, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medical or behavioral considerations. For boarding and daycare, I use gradual introductions and closely supervise interactions with my own dogs. I’m also happy to provide separate spaces, feeding areas, and downtime when needed. Over the years, I’ve fostered dogs, puppies, kittens, and cats through local animal shelters, including pets with medical and behavioral needs. This experience has taught me to be patient, observant, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs and comfort level. I also prefer a meet & greet for new boarding and daycare clients so we can make sure everyone is comfortable and that my home is a good fit for your pet.

“Hannah did a wonderful job taking care of Prince while I was out of town! She was reliable, attentive, and communicated very well throughout my trip. She was also flexible and handled some unexpected changes at my home with ease, which I truly appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing Prince was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Hannah and would happily book her again!”

“Denisa was extremely helpful, understanding, and loving 🥰. She went above and beyond to ensure I was receiving text messages during my trip where I didn’t have access to Wi-Fi. I had a very relaxing vacation time knowing my furry child was in great hands! She also used her language skills to communicate with my mom, who doesn’t speak English, and maintained open communication regarding schedule changes and other challenges we faced. My child is one of those stubborn ones, however, she did what a good pet sitter would do, but she added love ❤️, fun and joy to Polito’s potty time. Every picture and video she shared, showed a super excited and happy child! I highly recommend her! 🥰🐶💕🐾”

About: I provide dependable, personalized care by treating every pet like family. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and personality, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and pets with special routines, and I always provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work part-time as a virtual therapist, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, and personalized care. I make sure every pet receives the time, care, and updates they deserve while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they receive fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also keep their environment clean, follow any special care instructions, and provide regular updates with photos so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for.

“I had the pleasure of having Lilly, walk my Dog Simon 3-4xs a week for 2 months. She was always punctual on timing and if she was ever running behind she would make sure to give a notice. Most importantly I enjoyed seeing Simòn happy upon her arrival, tail wagging through my Furbo Dog camera, she always greeted him with scratches and made sure to give him a treat before leaving. I appreciated the photos during the walks around the neighborhood or if Simòn was being lazy instead of ending the walk she would sit outside with him while he sun bathed giving him scratches. Lilly thank you so much for helping me out during this time!”

About: My experience in pet care began at 15 years old when I took some neighbors dogs for walks. The types of dogs I walked were a greyhound, a collie and an Australian shepherd. My next petcare job was the summer after my junior in college when I cat sat a persian named Mimi for a professor who went on a long vacation. Mimi was sad when her owner left, but I gave her lots of love, and we formed a strong bond. The summer after I pet sat a great dane and an american bulldog, and they were big teddy bears and lap dogs. Sometimes they would even sleep at my feet at night. Years later towards the winter of 2014, I pet sat for a client later turned friend who travelled 3 months to Antartica for his job. His furry companions were a black named Fred and a golden named Ginger: both of them what I called the sweetest dogs in the world. I did everything there is to pet sitting and even took them to the vet for a regular check-up and the groomers. It was around this time I lost my main job I had and was very distraught. They sensed this and they did things like come upstairs to check on me to see if I was ok, sit on my lap and watch tv with me, shower me with lots of doggie kisses, sleep by my side or by my feet in bed etc. I joined Rover in late 2018, and I had a handful of families that made me their designated pet sitter because of the quality care and love I give. Their pets actually got sad (and so did I) when I had to leave after their owners returned, but were enthusiastic when I arrived to care for them again. During 2019-early 2023, I worked for a pet care company called Becky's Pet Care where I cared for a plethora of animals such as dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs and chickens. However, due to their failure of maintaining health and safety standards of employees, I decided to branch out on my own and rejoin Rover. I have several clients and hope to get a few more clients because caring for animals is extremely rewarding. They are my best friends. NOTE ABOUT MY RATES: -For doggie walks and drop in visits my rates are $15 for a 20 minute visit, $25 for a 30, $35 for a 45 and $50 for an hour and beyond. I also offer in-home pet sitting, and my rates are on my profile. I will stay with your animals for the majority of the day and only leave if I have other dog walks/drop in visits, to do the trivia shows I host Wednesdays, or to drive for Uber and Lyft for a few hours on the days I don't have my shows. -I do not charge extra for multiple pets when it comes to dog walks and drop in visits, however, I ask you be realistic on how long you think a timed visit will take. For example: feeding and walking two dogs, then feeding cats and scooping their litter boxes will take longer than 20 minutes. I do charge extra for additional pets when it comes to staying over, but it's only $10 for each additional dog and $5 for each additional cat. If you have multiple animals where it's something like one dog and two cats, then I will $50 for the dog and $5 for each cat. -I DO NOT charge extra if your fur baby is...well...a puppy. Lol. Puppies are a riot: full of energy and lots of love. I know some pet care professionals do, but I don't. -I DO NOT charge extra if your dog has special needs. Guess what? I do too!! I have tremendous anxiety sometimes and have to exercise. Other people might charge extra, but I don't. -I sometimes request to be paid half up front if its an EXREMELY long pet sitting request. You can simply leave a check or cash on a table for me when I arrive to start pet sitting for you. With that said, I send lots of photos, videos and texts through the WhatsApp or through text, even without a request, so you know your furbabies are well taken care of. I'm currently working for myself and can easily fit taking excellent care of your furbabies into my schedule. In fact, I may be working for myself for a while. I drive for Uber and Lyft. I will take care of your furbabies like the cuddly precious angels they are. I will only give them food and treats you approve. I will make sure they get proper exercise and will give them lots of love. I will also make sure there's no aggressive rough housing if you have more than one dog. Or even cat.

“Brianna was absolutely wonderful with my baby girl, Sammy. She communicates well, shares cute photos every day, and took the time to come meet Sammy and see how she’s doing! I would definitely recommend her and will be booking with her again!”
