Dog Walkers in Elmont, VA

“This was the first time I have ever used this app/service and Taylor was absolutely amazing and quick to respond (which was amazing as my request was same day). She was so patient and gentle with my dog as he can be very wary/scared of strangers, but she did a great job of giving him time to warm up to her! I could tell he was absolutely ready for a nap after the walk.”

About: Not only have I owned and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, I've also fostered at the Richmond SPCA, RACC, and Sanctuary Rescue for a cumulative 13+ years. I'm highly experienced in animal behavior, nutrition, and medical needs. I do know animal CPR and I have no issue administering meds. I love animals and I am extremely familiar with their behavior. Please contact me to care for your pets so you can be stress free! I work from home which allows me to make my own hours and I can drop in any time past 9am. I am also used to pets with medical issues and can come over whenever needed to issue medicine. I keep a tidy house with many rescue cats and dogs. We have numerous litter boxes that are scooped or cleaned daily. People who come to my house are always shocked that I have cats. My dogs are kept as part of the family and have a large back yard to run around in.

About: Every dog, cat, and critter gets my full attention, patience, and genuinely endless affection. Your pet will be in hands that actually care, not just someone checking a box. I pay keen attention to their needs, wait patiently for pets to trust me, and show up exactly when I say I will. I'm a law student heading into my second year of school and I have flexibility this summer for regular visits or last-minute help. I've spent years caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and new clients and I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities. I pay close attention to each animal's cues, take the time to build genuine trust, and am someone you can count on — on time, every time. While I don't have pets of my own right now, I'm surrounded by them constantly and there is honestly nowhere I'd rather be. My schedule is flexible. If it works for you, it works for me. Above all else, I believe communication and timeliness are everything. You'll always hear from me promptly, whether it is confirming a booking, giving an update mid-visit, or letting you know about anything unexpected. No guessing, no chasing me down, just reliable, responsive care you can count on. When I'm in your home, your pet's comfort and routine come first. I follow your instructions closely including feeding schedules, walking routes, any quirks or preferences because familiarity and consistency are what keep animals calm and happy in their parents absence. I treat every home with the same care and respect I'd want shown in my own, and I'm always in close communication so you're never left wondering how things are going. Further, I know that inviting someone new into your home and trusting them with your pets is a big deal, please be assured I'm direct, honest, and an open book.

“Sierra walks our dog, Shockoe, 1-3 times a week and we absolutely love her! Sierra is a great communicator and has always been flexible as our days/times change weekly. She is great at listening to Shockoes wants for the day, whether that is taking a casual stroll, a big walk, or just needing some extra pets before walking. She goes above and beyond with pictures of each walk and making sure Shockoe has a water refill before leaving each day. Shockoe LOVES Sierra - they have created such a bond. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!!”

Upon arrival I will make sure all dogs have water food if requested by owner. Play with the dog outside or walk for a little while.

About: My love of dogs started in 4th grade when my family adopted the best black Labrador ever! We named him Smoky. I fed him and cared for him. He loved to take walks and fetch sticks. I am organized and can follow a written schedule. My daughter has been doing Rover for a couple of years now. She has taught me the ins and outs of caring for pets in another person’s home. She has encouraged me to do this due to my capabilities and love of pets. I am retired. I have flexibility. My business background taught me the organizational skills to mesh together multiple schedules. And I know how to treat your home with respect. I will follow your written instructions. Feeding, medication, brushing, walking, sleeping. If your pet has had a trauma, I need to know about it. Communication is key. If I am at your home on trash day, I will take out the trash. Let me know what day it is. I will collect your mail. Your home will be treated with respect. Non smoking homes only. Your pet will be loved.

About: Hi! I'm Christynn, and I'm 19! I’ve worked with animals for years, starting at a boarding facility when I was 16, where I learned daily care, handling, and health monitoring. I also completed a two‑year animal science program in high school that earned me my Veterinary Assistant Certification. Now I’m studying Animal Science at Virginia Tech, continuing to build both hands‑on and academic experience with animal care and welfare. Now that I’m home for the summer, I have plenty of time to take care of your pups! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and the only day with limited hours is Sunday, I’m free after 1pm. I’m excited to spend my summer giving your pets lots of attention, walks, and love. I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. In your home, I follow your routines closely, feeding schedules, walk times, crate use, and any house rules you already have in place. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision so they feel secure while you’re away. I also keep an eye on behavior, eating, and overall well‑being, and I’ll always update you so you know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make your pet feel relaxed and cared for, and to give you total peace of mind while you’re gone.

About: Recently moved to RVA. I've taken care of cats all my life and dogs from time to time.

Let me change up my day to day by helping you out with your pets!
