Dog Walkers in Dunavant, VA

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years. I have experiences with dogs/cats, rodents, farm animals, etc. I grew up around horses and all sorts of other animals and I love them all! I currently have one dog who is the biggest goof and I absolutely adore him. I am currently pregnant so a little extra exercise on walks will never hurt! I enjoy all the cuddles and kisses as well! I love all animals as if they are my own! I’ve also recently been loving going on hikes or a trip to the dog park…if that’s something your fur baby would be interested in I would love for them to join me! I am able to take your pets on walks, run them around a fenced in yard or even just play tug of war in the house! I am comfortable crating animals, administering meds or anything else they might need!

“Cory was great with my dog, who can be difficult and high energy. He sent plenty of pictures and updates during the visit. I highly recommend him - especially if you are looking for someone that will be patient with your pet!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for 10 years, whether mine or those belonging to family. I have trained puppies as well as taken care of my dogs that have reached their golden years, and helped them over the rainbow bridge. My top two priorities are communication and safety. Any need you have regarding your pet is of utmost importance because pets aren’t just animals - they’re family! I have two dogs at home, one is 1 1/2 years old and the other is nearly 4. We walk 3 times daily, as well as plenty of enrichment time inside. Enrichment depends on the day, it can be playing with toys, eating treats from snuffle mats, lick mats, or just running around with them until they’re as tired as I am! Safety is my biggest priority. I follow instructions very carefully, I keep a close eye on your fur babies both in the house and outside. I can send real time updates that way you know exactly what is going on at all times, and I will always make sure to ask questions when needed. I can recreate your pets routine as closely as possible, and I will always bring positive energy!

“After we had an awful first experience with rover with another Dog Walker, Deborah restored our faith in this service. What an incredible human, let alone dog walker. Consistent, great communication, and our dog adores her. I would go back to her 10 times out of 10!”

About: I been around dogs and cats my whole life. I been housesitting for family and friends for the last 5-6years. My grandmother’s pets are on a strict schedule, and diet therefore I understand strict diet. I’ve worked on a farm so I have experience with farm animals, small pets, and some exotic animals. In the last two years, I’ve had two sets of puppies so I know what it takes to care of puppies. My Roxy was 13 year old when we had to put her down from old age, so I know what it takes to care for a senior dog. I’m currently not working, therefore I have plenty of time to cuddle, play and care with your pets. I can send pictures and/or videos thought your vacation for peace of mind! I like taking care of pets in their own house to make them feel as safe as possible. I will follow any rules or instructions you have for your house and pets.

“Autumn is a natural with dogs. Our Golden Retriever just loves her. I will certainly book again. Goes above and beyond ensuring your pet is taken care of.”

About: Ideally looking for repeat clients! I currently have NINE families I've watched for almost 10 years. A few longer. I love getting to know your babies and you! I feel, as a pet owner, it gives you more peace of mind. You know that your pet sitter actually knows your pets. Either if they're suddenly unhealthy, too tired for a long walk, urinating an unusual amount, etc. I've worked with animals since I was 15. Boarding facility for 15 years. Client Care Manager in the veterinary field for 12 years. Pet sitting started around 15. Used to multiple pets/species households. I have watched several horses, birds, guinea pigs, rats, etc. Love the only child, too! I'm "Auntie" to too many babies to name but I can! Most of my "nieces/nephews" have been patients, so I already know them. Those clients have brought me great referrals! I'm used to written instructions, labels, etc. Most of my current clients have me enter their home with keys, garage codes or security apps. I will probably send you too many pictures!!! I'm an open book! A meet and greet prior to staying in any home/caring for pets is ideal. It allows everyone to meet and go over any questions. I can water plants, bring mail inside, pull trash cans to their rightful place, if you wish. Dogs are my absolute FAVE! We can only have so many, right? So, let me spoil yours! If you need a week or two away, I'd be happy to be your adopted Auntie for your fur babies! If you just need someone to offer enriched walks or play time. I'm your person! IF you live within 30 mins of me, your pets won't be alone longer than 2-4hrs, unless you state otherwise. If you live 45+mins away, please be aware your pets may be alone up to 4-6 hours as I have daily priorities. I occasionally help my mother in law. This will sometimes mean I can't offer services to clients further away due to time. My dog has PICA. Therefore, I am very diligent in keeping everything put away while in your home! I will adhere to your routine to the absolute best of my ability!

At my home, pets can enjoy a large yard and a small fenced area for safe outdoor time. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.

About: Ive fostered, worked, helped out many shelters for the past 7 years. I can handle all types of animals and I founded an animal welfare organization at my college! While on break from my university, I am free almost all day, nights, and random moments to make sure all checkins, potty break, and even medication is on time. While I am in home, I ensure so many photos to the owners! I love to sit outside, play, and enjoy the company of any animal. All animals are safe with me, as I founded an animal welfare organization at my college.

“We feel very fortunate to have met Shannon, she's wonderful! Reliable, trust worthy, and full of great energy. She always takes her time with our doggo and makes each visit special. Also, we very much appreciate her professional background in both firefighting and emergency medical services as it speaks to her general character and mindset, and provides us peace-of-mind that if an emergency situation were to occur, our boy is in the best hands possible.”

About: I have taken care of both small and large dogs the past couple of summers. I have a senior dog myself, so I’m extremely patient and attentive. I am able to provide my services both in the Locust Grove area and around Lake Anna, VA, since I travel between both areas frequently. I’m a college student at James Madison University who is home for the summer and excited to provide loving, reliable care for your fur babies whenever you need! I'm completing an online certification course this summer with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. Whether it's long walks or simply keeping them company, I'll make sure they feel safe and well cared for. I pay very close attention to detail and can meet all pet needs when asked. I’m also communicative and understanding that your pet is my first priority.

“Jessica was amazing! She walked my two dogs, a high strung chihuahua and elderly dog (14 y.o.), for 30min for 4 days. She reached out and asked if I wanted her to meet the dogs before walking them which was great. The chihuahua tends to bark his head off at strangers, and I wasn't sure how he'd react (he ended up running away from her the first day for 15min, sorry Jessica). The older dog had diarrhea throughout the house one day, and cleaning up after something like that isn't really what I consider her job. I told her she didn't need to worry about it, and I'd deal with it when I got back. However, she ended up cleaning up as much as she could anyways (that's going to be a big tip). Besides my dogs being a huge pain. She always responded quickly and sent a lot of pictures from the walks.”

“My pet loves Jordan and can't wait for her to come over. She is so sweet.”

About: I have always had a pet in the home, from fish to dogs! Pets are an amazing part of our families and deserve the special care and attention that our own human children have from us as parents. That’s why every four-legged visitor in my home receives the 5-star resort experience. Let me know what I can do for you and your furry friends today! I usually work from 9-5 on most weekdays approximately 5 minutes from home. That gives me the flexibility to check in on your pet throughout the day. For boarding, expect your pet to be snuggled, given food & treats (at your discretion), and receive quality walks. Drop-in visits are my preference, as well as walks. Nonetheless, please let me know what I can do to provide you with the best service possible. Beyond the normal pets, I love to ensure your pets receive the special care they need. From meds to treats, they will get the concierge experience.

We live in a secluded area with a large yard which your pets will enjoy. I'm an IT professional and my wife stays home so there is always someone looking after your pets.

Our property is secluded and is not close to a road so, there is no danger from traffic.
