Dog Walking in Elkhardt, Richmond, VA

“My dog absolutely loves Nancy and I trust her judgement and dog knowledge as well ! Would recommend !”

“First time ever using the app so I was really nervous about it, but DAMACIA made me feel completely at ease. She listened to all my concerns and how to take care of my sweet boy because he is hard of hearing. She took him on a walk around the neighborhood and Maximus seemed to enjoy it. Now that the walk is over my sweet boy is passed out on the couch probably for the rest of the day. Will definitely be using her services in the near future.”

“Arianna took great care of my girl Luna, I loved the pictures and updates and it's clear they both really enjoyed each other's company. She was also very prompt and right on time with walks, and super nice to deal with. I would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again.”

“Max is wonderful! My energetic pup loved him , and he was needed after I had foot surgery and couldn’t walk the dog. I was home when Max came and went with my pup; he let me know each day when he was on his way, which was helpful. He was on time and reliable. I would definitely hire Max again. Thank you!”

“As always Bridgette was great with Nova!”

“I originally met Caitlin through a mutual job at a veterinary clinic. She became a licensed veterinary technician in the time we worked together, and was one of the most competent and caring vet techs I have ever had the privilege of knowing and working with. Knowing that you have someone who has the kind of knowledge and experience that Caitlin has caring for your pets gives you comfort and peace of mind knowing they are well looked after. My pug simply loves her to death and is so excited every time she sees her. She runs around like a wild thing and cries when she leaves. I’m not even kidding. Caitlin loves animals and they love her. She has a special way with them. It’s what makes her such a great vet tech, and what makes her so wonderful at caring for our pets. They’re like our children, and I want to know someone is treating my little squish-faced minion like she would her own.”

“Kassie put in the extra effort to make my grumpy little old man of a dog happy! She consistently put in extra time to ensure his comfort and to keep me posted while I was away. Very appreciative of her!”

“Rosemary was amazing! She sent frequent updates about how Sully was doing and was always on time. We knew Sully was in great hands with Rosemary, which made being out of town and away from home a lot less stressful. Thanks for everything, Rosemary! Sully can’t wait to see you again soon!”

“I owe Darnell x100000. Everything I could ask for in a walker. I was nervous because my dog can be a puller and especially crazy with new people . Darnell took great care and things went better than I could imagine. Will definitely hope that he’ll be available in the future . Ice loved him! Thanks again bro !”

“Julia is on time for the walks, my 2 golden retrievers love her and she's very nice! With that being said, I would highly recommend her to others looking for a dog walker.”

“Caitlin was the absolute best with our girl Olive! They became fast friends and I felt confident that she was being well cared for while I was gone. Highly recommend!”

“Kiara was extremely reliable and patient with both of my dogs. One has a neurological condition and Kiara was able to handle her with grace. Would highly recommend and use again.”

“Haley was great with my dog. I could tell he enjoyed his time with her by the way he was cheesing to the camera in the cute pictures of him she sent. She was communicative, reliable and trustworthy and I’d book with her again anytime.”

“Excellent service and communication”

About: My family always had dogs and cats from the time I was born, and my love for them has grown across the years now as a young adult. My experience in pet care comes from having my own pets and caring for their needs throughout the years. My family and I have owned long haired cats adopted as kittens and different mixed breeds of dogs ranging from small to medium/large-sized, the first adopted as a puppy and the past 3 adopted a year or a few years old. For the past 5 years I have been sharing the responsibility of caring for my sister's dog, Gadget, while she is at work. I walk him, give him food/water/treats, play with his toys with him, help wash or trim his hair on his bottom in between taking him to be groomed as he is a Pekinese mix and his fur can occasionally get messy when going on potty breaks. I am looking forward to meeting new furry friends, getting to know their needs and how they like to be loved and cared for just as I would with my own pet. For the past year's schedule, my sister takes her dog, Gadget, out in the mornings before work and I am in charge of him after she leaves (usually around 10am-11am, it varies because she does client-based work) and am on dog duty through-out the afternoon through the evening. In the mornings I exercise and currently am invested in taking online classes with the intention of selling my own artwork in the near future on different platforms like Etsy. I have also recently decided to start learning music production as I listen to a lot of music especially when I exercise and take my dog on walks. I take Gadget out in the early afternoon and walk him around my neighborhood and after dinner I take him out once more and then my sister lets him out for one last pee break before bed. I keep Gadget on a schedule and I plan to keep all prospective client's pets on their usual schedule and give them the love and care they deserve. As my sister has now been renting her workspace and she has the option to take her dog to with her, I have ample time availability all through the day and evening to take care of other dogs for drop-ins and walking needs. My sister's dog is a sweet and friendly dog, however he does get excited around strangers and other animals. When inside my home, I try to distract him from barking at people walking by as he does like to bark. When on walks, I always make sure to have a good grip on his leash and if another dog is excited because of him or vice versa I pull back slightly and shush him or if that is not enough I might physically crouch down to be level with him and calm him down and that tends to be what does the trick. However, as every dog is different I will listen and try out any suggestions that work with prospective client's pets. My particular dog can have a sensitive digestive system and sometimes some dog food doesn't sit right with him so we tend to avoid feeding him food scraps for that reason unless it's only simple ingredients that won't upset his stomach. I will listen and adhere to any dietary or medicine instructions that any pet might need.

“Leyana would be a great sitter/walker for anyone's pet-kid! She has had animals all her life and enjoys them to the upmost. She's very reliable and hard working and most of all Le'Yana will love your pet-kid like her own!”

About: I have cared for dogs cats ferrets horses snakes mice from a teenager onwards. Experience with large breed dogs, I’m all for sofa cuddles with all types of animals - my partner and I also work from home with a fenced in back garden! My partner and I work full time at home, however my job is flexible my dog gets 3 walks a day morning lunch and dinner and that changes based on the weather - to hot we wait until it cools, rainy - we get the rain jacket out. I have a fenced in yard, with ring cams front and back - I have a Great Dane that loves everyone and every animal. I make sure the water is filled anytime I leave and any feeding/snacks are given.

About: I am certain your pup will get the love and attention they need while they come stay with me! I have been dog sitting for about 7 years now. PLEASE READ Due to unexpected situations I have been put thru I am un able to watch dogs that have not been fixed. 8/10 times they have been too dominant and acted strange towards my dog who is fixed. I apologize in advance. I also would grateful appreciate if you have to cancel I know 1 week in advance so I can make other arrangements. I typically watch one dog at a time to ensure your pet is getting the love and attention they need. I understand things happen and plans get canceled but just letting me know as soon as possible will help allow me to make room on my calendar for another dog. I work from home so I will be around to keep an eye out and play with your dog(s). I have a fenced in yard as well with a big back yard for them to run around. I am also off 3 times a week so I can take your dog out for more adventures activities on those days. I have multiple rooms in the house to close off. We also have a medium sized crate if we must separate animals apart if need be. I will also be sure to send photos of your sweet fur baby
