Dog Walking Elliston

About: I have lived with, owned, and taken care of dogs, large and small, for my entire life. Family and friends have trusted me to help care for their animals when in need. I have experience with other animals as well including, but not limited to, rabbits, fish, and livestock. Daily, I work 7:30-5:30 M-Th, but I set my own hours, so my schedule can be altered as needed with notice. I do not work F-Sun or any federal holidays. I can drop-in or do walks before and after my work hours unless, otherwise, specified. In my client's homes, I will treat your home with the utmost respect. I will only go where specified to go in the home as well as only do the requested services.

“Peyton arrived on time and my dog got along fine with her on their first walk together. My dog is still learning leash training and Peyton had no problem dealing with her pulling. It's very apparent that Peyton has had a lot of experience with dogs.”

About: I have 6+ years of experience with multiple animal species, including dogs and cats of various sizes and attitudes. As a third year veterinary student, I am also capable of handling daily treatments as needed. I’m currently a full-time veterinary student, but year 3 has a schedule perfect to work with your pets. I will have multiple hours per day to visit, walk, etc. I am very willing to tailor my services to your individual needs. Just let me know what is needed, and I am happy to accommodate.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have nearly 7 years of dog sitting experience starting in middle school. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities and I pride myself on being extremely attentive, reliable, and detail oriented with every pet. I have experience handling multiple dogs at once including caring for up to five dogs for 7+ days, so I’m very comfortable with both longer stays in higher-energy households. I treat every dog like my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I also provide consistent updates so you can feel confident and not ease while you’re away. I’m a student at Virginia Tech with a flexible schedule, typically having at most two classes a day. Outside of class, I spent most of my time at home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. My routine makes it easy for me to incorporate walks, feeding, playtime, and check-in consistently. I’m able to adapt to each pets needs and schedule, whether that means early mornings, midday visits, or evening care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a pet friendly apartment with a fence dog area, so dogs have a safe place to get outside and play. I’m very attentive and make sure pets are always supervised and cared for based on their specific needs and routines. I also keep owners updated regularly so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life. From pet sitting, walking, and senior pet care. I am attentive and loving to all types of pets. I am currently on summer break from college, so my schedule is entirely flexible. I own a car and can commute to you anytime or day. I provide boarding, dog walking, and drop in services. Dogs in my care get frequent walks, lots of attention, and plenty of love. I want every pet to feel comfortable, happy, and at home while you’re away.

“Sharon was great! Very responsive and caring for our pup.”

About: I am currently a student at Virginia Tech. I have been pet sitting and taking care of dogs for ten years and have loved each and every animal I have cared for as if they were my own. I have owned dogs and cats my whole life and have trained them myself as I got older. I have experience with puppies under the age of one and will play with them until they can’t play anymore. When I care for your pets, I promise to give them as much love and affection as they get when you are there (possibly even more). Your animals are my top priority when I am caring for them, and I will love them as much as you do until you can get back to them. I am able to care for your pets any time. I will be starting school in the fall, but that will not impact the way I love and care for your pets due to the way my class schedule is structured. I have a very friendly lab that loves to play with other dogs. I ensure that when I am in someone else’s home, I am supervising the dogs while I also make sure they are getting the exercise and enrichment required for their breed and temperament. Every dog needs different treatment, and I will adjust the way I care for them based on their own needs.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 9 years old, starting with my neighbor’s two senior pups who needed daily medication. Since then, I’ve looked after dogs of all ages, from high-energy puppies to sweet seniors, and I’ve always loved getting to know their unique personalities. I’ve had three dogs of my own. My first was a gentle Bernese Mountain Dog named Hope, and when i’m home from college, I live with my two Mini Australian Shepherds, Maggie and Tobi. They’re almost 9 years old and full of energy and affection. I also regularly care for my sister’s 2-year-old Berner named Keatts, and I help my boyfriend’s family with their four dogs—a Pomeranian and three Dachshunds ranging in age from 1 to 12—whenever they go out of town. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. One of my Aussies has fear-based aggression, so I’ve learned how to stay calm, patient, and supportive when working with anxious or reactive dogs. Whether it’s giving medication, keeping a routine, helping a nervous dog feel safe, or just getting their zoomies out with playtime, I always care for every dog like they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and truly love what I do. As a full-time student at Virginia Tech, I have a structured class schedule but also plenty of breaks throughout the day. Those gaps give me the flexibility to care for pets and check in on them regularly—typically every 2–6 hours depending on the day. I make sure to stay available and responsive, and I’m open to adjusting my routine as needed to best fit each animal’s needs. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for every day, so if you need someone who’s dependable and easy to reach, I’ll likely be available when you need me. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, long walks, or extended stays, I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s needs. I currently only offer overnight pet care in my apartment. When pets stay with me, I make sure they have a safe, comfortable environment and maintain their normal routines as closely as possible. This includes regular feeding, walks or playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day and evening. Since I’m home overnight, pets are never left alone for long stretches, and I keep communication open with owners to provide updates and adjust care if needed. I treat every pet like my own, giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. Whether your dog needs regular walks or your cat prefers quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for in their new environment.

About: I love caring for dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I’m patient with dogs of all sizes and personalities and always follow feeding schedules, provide regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention so every dog feels at home. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week, including weekends. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m happy to work with different schedules and last-minute bookings whenever possible I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Since I don’t have a fenced yard, I take dogs on regular walks for exercise, potty breaks, and fresh air. I also provide plenty of attention, playtime, and follow the pet’s normal feeding schedule and routines. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed and at home while their owners are away.

About: I miss having a furry friend. I have taken care of dogs since I was 5 and thoroughly enjoy their company. My goal is to bond with new dogs while giving them the best care. I have experience as a dog walker for different friends and family. I'm also an experienced Wag Walker. I have also taken care of friend's dogs at home. Dogs have been an integral part of my life since I was born. I want to take this opportunity to meet more dogs and help busy owners. I have a very flexible schedule since I do all of my work remotely. I set my own schedule so I can provide dog care anytime you need it. I am really excited to meet your furry friend! I am flexible working remotely being able to take care of whatever needs done. I will do what is needed to be done to make it feel like you haven't left your furry friend. I treat them like they're my own so they don't feel alienated. My main goal os yo make turm feel safe like you never left! Also happy to take care of your home as an experienced home owner.

About: I’ve cared for animals, dogs and cats, since childhood. I’m very comfortable around animals, and love helping them get the care and attention they need. I am a stay at home mom, so this fits into an already open schedule. I’m available mornings and afternoons with my son joining me. I treat every animal with respect and love. I look to the owner for specific desires of care since it is your pet I’m watching!

About: What truly sets me apart as a pet sitter is my lifelong love for animals and the deep-rooted experience that comes from growing up surrounded by them. From a young age, I’ve cared for a variety of pets—big and small—which taught me not only responsibility but how to connect with animals on a personal level. Over the years, I’ve become the go-to sitter for friends, family, and others who have reached out, trusting me to care for their pets as if they were my own. My approach is always compassionate, attentive, and tailored to each animal’s unique needs, providing both pets and their people with comfort and peace of mind. As a graduate student, I have a flexible and well-structured schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet sitting. I can be available for regular visits, walks, feedings when needed. Pet sitting brings me joy and a sense of balance. It’s a meaningful way for me to stay active, reduce stress, and do something I genuinely love alongside my studies. I care for pets with plenty of affection, playtime, and a calm, structured routine that helps them feel secure while away from their owners. When caring for pets at a client’s home, I make sure to follow their established routines closely, keeping things consistent and stress-free. I always communicate clearly with pet parents, provide updates, and treat every animal with the same care and respect I give my own.

About: I’ve always had pets from dogs, cats, goats, hamsters, and ducks. I love all animals & believe they all deserve kindness & compassion. I love caring for my pets & spending time with them. They are more then just pets to me, they are my family and I am so grateful to have them in my life. I promise to care for your pets as I would my own; with patience, kindness, and respect. ❤️ I am currently working part-time (25 hours) so I can usually adjust my schedule to your needs. I am available to stay over night or visit multiple times a day. My home is an apartment. I keep a very clean environment as I highly value a clean living space. I have my own cats, two sweet spayed females. They along well with other pets but Nyx will usually tend to hide away from most visitors human or animal. Kaya, however, loves new friend rather that’s a cat or a dog. I frequently clean up after my pet daily, and keep two bowls of water I refresh for her daily. I keep a safe environment for my pet and I will treat your pet with the same great care.

“Sydney is so good with our Enzo! She’s attentive to how he’s feeling on the walk (which is key with the heat and his puppy age), what training we’re working on (she reinforces what we’re focusing on), and making sure he has a great time. She’s our go to!”

“Great with Alice and worked well with me to make a last minute booking around the holidays.”

About: I have had the pleasure to take care of animals my whole life. After going to boot camp I realized how much animals actually give you peace of mind on a daily basis and I have taken care of neighbors animals and family ever since. I have plenty of space for animals of all sizes and a fenced in yard for dogs who need to run. I love to go on walks as I am very active and have to keep my 2 mile up always. I am also very patient for kitties who just want to lay around and sleep. If given the opportunity I would love to spend my time with the animals you love. I am in the national guard so I work 1 weekend a month and the rest is free! I am currently trying to make animal sitting an everyday thing so I can work out any times needed. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space inside as well. I have a doggy door for smaller dogs but I can let the bigger ones out just as easily. I do have a cat that is very friendly but she can go in my room if needed. There is room in my house to play and room for an animal to be alone if they wanted or needed

About: I’ve provided care for pets for quite a while, and I am looking forward to providing specific and detailed care based on owner preference to your beloved family member. I work part time currently and I’m very open to any pet care needs that my clients may have. I am looking forward to discussing this further with future clients. I have a yard at my home, I can create your dog or pet if needed, and am looking forward to finding out your specific pet care needs.
