Dog Walkers in Elkton, VA

“Catherine has been taking our large pup on walks a few days per week and it’s been such tail wagging fun! Thanks for the adventures and care, Catherine!”

“Great walk last minute- thank you! Will be using again”

“Morgan has been my go-to sitter for the past 6 years. The fact that I can trust Morgan with my two small dogs, even in their old age, has been such a blessing. 10/10!”

“I am thrilled to share my heartfelt appreciation for Lourdes Rhodes, my exceptional neighbor and go-to pet sitter. Lourdes has been a lifeline for me and my furry family members on numerous occasions, and I am confident that she would provide safe, loving care and outstanding customer service for anyone seeking a trustworthy pet caregiver. Beyond her role as a pet sitter, Lourdes is simply an awesome human being. Her kindness, warmth, and compassion extend not only to animals but also to the people around her. She's not just a neighbor; she's become a trusted friend, someone I can rely on for support and companionship.”

“Kat is the most caring, loving, and compassionate person I’ve ever seen with pets. I would trust her to take care of mine any day!”

“Lydia did a great job walking Zorro. Zorro came back from his walk feeling happy and tired!”

“Julia has dog sit for me multiple times. One particular time, she stayed with my dog for a whole week while I was on vacation. She provided exceptional care for my sweet pup. Every day I was gone she would send me pictures and give me updates on how he was doing. My dog gets excited every time he sees her and she makes sure to spend extra time petting him and playing with him outside of her required duties...walking, feeding, etc. I have seen her interact with my dog as well as other animals, and I can tell she genuinely has a love for animals, and animals have a love for her. I would trust her with my dog any day and know that she would go above and beyond. Julia is the first person I ask when I need help with my pup. She is an excellent communicator and is very flexible. I would recommend Julia in a heartbeat, she is wonderful!”

“Jesse has really helped us out with Lucy, and has been able to handle her perfectly. Love his attention to any potential concerns and relay information about her walks. He has also been accommodating when we’ve needed short-notice visits.”

“Anna would be a wonderful addition to your staff of pet sitters and dog walkers. She not only loves our four legged friends and spending time with them but she is reliable and can be trusted with a family's pet. She pays attention to detail and will be in tune with the individual needs of each pet. She will be attentive to each animal in her care and will be a reliable employee for your service. I highly recommend Anna Plessing to you.”

About: I have decades of animal care experience, working with cats, dogs, and multiple other species. I currently own and operate a rabbitry. I have worked at multiple dog kennels, including free run facilities, and have worked at the SPCA and the Virginia zoo in Norfolk, Virginia. Let me know what your needs are, and we will see if I can accommodate your needs, as my schedule is very open and flexible. My pet care is very custom tailored to your needs and your pet’s needs, let me know what you need and what your pet prefers. I have 4 dogs that stay exclusively in the back part of the home and have access to the backyard. Doggies I am sitting stay exclusively in the front part of the home and have access to the front yard, so there is non interaction between my dogs. My dogs are friendly with other dogs but this arrangement just makes it easier and more comfortable for yours = )

“I highly recommend Alyssa as a pet sitter/dog walker. Alyssa loves animals. She is hard working, responsible, caring, kind,dedicated and reliable. She we will treat your pets as if they were her own. Pet sitting and dog walking has been her job while she is home from college. Also willing to take a job on short notice.”

“Very professional help who’s always available and attentive to blue!”

About: Hi there! I'm Carrie. I have been a pet owner and caretaker for over 15 years! I am experienced in walking, feeding, and otherwise caring for several types of pets. I currently own a cat and a dog, but I can also care for rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish! My main option here is dog walking, but I can also do drop-in visits as needed. I currently work part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your animals and take them for walks. I am available most weekends for drop-in visits, and I will house sit as needed! I will ensure that dogs remain safely leashed during all walks. If the temperature of asphalt is too warm for walks I make sure to stick to grassy areas. I ensure that I know current vet care and contact numbers for emergency situations.

“We left our 2 yr old golden retriever with Peyton for a weekend when we went away. She fed, walked, and cared for him giving us pictures and updates throughout the weekend. She was very responsible and I would have no hesitation using her services again.”

“Megan is one of the most caring animal-lovers I know! She is always so sweet and gentle with my reactive dog which goes such a long way, especially because he is so high-need! I truly wouldn’t trust anybody else to care/watch him when I’m out of town. She’s very knowledgeable and her experience with animals shows!! She’s the absolute best and I couldn’t recommend her enough - your fur baby would be in MORE than capable hands :)”

“She was amazing, she went above and beyond for my animals. She understood that the dogs needed time to relax out of their cages and gave them extra love. She sent daily updates and pictures. We will definitely use her again.”

“Rachael took great care of my dog and was very responsive to messages”

About: I've had dogs my entire life, and have been pet sitting my neighbors and friends cats and dogs for over 10 years. I love getting to know new pets, and I'm excited to meet yours! I am currently a part time student and part time CNA, and can easily fit quick or long pet visits and care into my schedule. I have lots of experience in caring for dogs, and have recently gotten more experience with cats. I am willing to work with the client to find what is best for them and their pet.

About: Hey there! My name is Amanda, I’m a wine salesperson and I have a deep love for pups! I have one dog of my own, Theo, who is extremely friendly and playful with other dogs. If your pet needs social time that you can’t always provide, Theo and I are happy to help! If your dog doesn’t do well with other dogs, I’m also happy to come to you instead or keep them separated as needed. I have been around dogs my entire life and used to foster dogs for local shelters as well. I have experience with training and teaching dogs basic tricks and manners. I am accepting of all breeds and sizes, and just ask that your pet is dog-friendly and potty trained if they are to come over and hangout with us! It will be my goal to make sure your dog leaves happier than when they came. I look forward to meeting your sweet fur babies! PLEASE make sure your pet is UP TO DATE on grooming (especially nails!), vaccinations, and flea and tick medicine. I’ve had a couple of bad experiences and need to make sure I’m only allowing pets in my home that are safe & healthy! Thank you in advance I pride myself in providing my dogs structure and a set schedule. We get up at 7:30 every morning (after a few snuggles) for breakfast, then we go for a long walk. Before I head to work often take them to the dog park to work out some more of their energy. They then spend the day with my fiancé while I’m gone. We have dinner around 8pm, after our evening walk. Currently, since I have a 12 month old son, I am only available to work at my job on the weekends. This allows me to have a much more open schedule for pets. My fiancé and I also share the responsibility of pet sitting, so please inquire about specific dates as we may be able to have someone available at all times according to our schedule for those dates. I realize each pet is different, so I ask the owner help me personalize care for their unique pet! Normally I like to shower pets with love and play, for dogs that are reactive, have resource guarding, anxiety, or special needs, I modify my approach according to the owner’s preference. For me, communication is everything, and I will only do what I know you are comfortable with.

“Kristie helped me out with my puppy while we were painting our house. She was responsive and flexible to accommodate two long walks for Tsuki. I would highly recommend her as a dog walker! Thank you again!”
