Dog Walkers in Flatwoods, VA

About: I've had experience taking care of dogs since I was the age of 10 years old. I have done this for family and friends for many years and even assist with grooming needs. I also have experience with giving medications to pets as I have worked as a veterinary assistant in the past. I am currently working at an elementary school but going to school to allow me to have a work from home job. Until then I am more free in the afternoon and evening but I am able to free up some time in the morning to help out. During the summer I do summer camp, working the afternoon/evening shift; however, I am able to adjust my schedule as needed. I have a fenced in yard here at my house so my dogs have free range of the back yard, however when we did not have one we had them out at least every hour. Our dogs get feed twice a day, morning and night, but I can switch however to fit your pet best! During my free time my boyfriend and I like to take our dog, Rico, to go hiking and swimming. We would love to be able to bring him a friend!

About: Lifelong experience with dogs of all kinds, always reliable among friends, family, and acquaintances. I will always meet the needs and go above and beyond in care for your animals. Until August, I will be working exclusively in pet sitting and other freelancing work. My schedule is very open so I’ll be able to provide constant company for your pets, barring trips to the gym or going to feed my own cat. I am very compassionate towards all varieties of animals. I will always follow your instructions to the letter when taking care of your animals. I’m very cleanly and I’ll never leave messes that could tempt or endanger your pets. Pets’ meals are always on time, I’ll always be able to take them out when needed.

“Sarah was awesome! Her knowledge from working in a shelter came in handy when one of my dogs was being difficult. She took great photos and left a wonderful description about their time together. Can’t wait to have Sarah come back to hang out with my boys.”

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, I provide loving, attentive, and reliable pet care tailored to each pup's unique needs. I’ve worked with senior dogs, anxious pups, and dogs with medical conditions—including those requiring daily medication, injections, or special diets. I’m confident handling everything from post-surgery care to mobility support, and I always make sure pets feel safe, calm, and cared for. Whether it’s belly rubs, slow walks, or a strict medication schedule, I’m here to give your dog the same level of care and attention I’d give my own. I work part-time, so I have lots of flexibility to spend quality time with pets during the day and evenings. Whether it's walks, hangouts, or just keeping them company, I can fit it into my weekly routine. I'm also open to overnight stays if your pup needs a buddy at night! I care for pets in their homes just like they’re my own—keeping their routine, giving lots of love, and making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home while you're away.

About: I have taken care of many pets in my neighborhood and for my family. I have been left to bathe, feed, walk and hang out with many peoples lovable animals. I have experience with both big and small dogs, cats, fish, bunnies and even reptiles. Nervous about leaving your pets with a stranger? I would absolutely be willing to send you videos or pictures of your pets throughout the day/on walks so you can have piece of mind that they are having a wonderful time. I am a 911 dispatcher working 12 hour night shifts so on days I work I will not be able to spend over, but other than my job I am completely free to watch animals, housesit, and walk dogs! If one of my day is marked unavailable and you need a walker that day please don’t hesitate to ask, I may be able to make it work! I have such a love for animals and am sad that I can’t own a zoo. If I could I would adopt so many animals. I treat every animal I’m entrusted with like they are my own. If you decide on my care, I promise your animals will be in great hands! I currently own 2 rabbits and a kitten, but I grew up owning dogs, cats and fish.

About: Hello! I am a responsible, dependable, young working professional but a lady of many trades! One of those side gigs includes pet sitting furbabies!

About: I’ve volunteered at many animals shelters, worked on farms, and been a pet sitter for many family and friends. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats of all different sizes, absolutely love animals and don’t worry your babies will get lots of love!! I do school online so I have plenty of time to take your babies out or check on them as needed! I keep my calendar updated so if it’s open I’m available!

“Mandy will go above and beyond for your doggos! We had to leave our dogs for the first time and she came and walked them, made sure they had food and water and was even willing to clean up some. She has really put our minds at ease while being out of town and will definitely use her services in the future ?”

About: I have grown up with animals and pets my whole life. Growing up by farm in Germany, I fostered a love and care for all animals and I am my happiest when I’m with them. While I have always owned cats myself, I also have experience with dog-sitting (including walking, playing (of course☺️), and minor allergy medications). I adore pups/cats and am excited to care for your little ones! I currently work 3 days a week in EMS (W-F) and am very flexible outside of these hours to love and care for your pets. Safety is of utmost importance!! When leaving the house, I will ensure all doors are locked. I will keep an eye out to make sure your dog doesn’t try to eat something they shouldn’t or bring things into your home. I will also keep an eye on other animals around your pet, especially when walking and leaving the home. I have two cats of my own - Flo & Mo. While one is apprehensive, the other is goofy (and very orange). Every pet is different and I will respect their needs and comfort zones while in their space.

About: Life long animal lover and pet parent, who recognizes that our furry friends are our family and deserve the best care and consideration! I've taken care of animals since I was kiddo, and currently share a roof with three cats and one pup. Friends, family, former employers, and my very own animals trust me to watch, walk, feed, water, groom (brushing, bathing, trimming nails) and lavish their cats and dogs with attention. My availability varies, as I work in the Events field, but I am ready and interested to take on regular weekday workday (9-5) walking duties with your pups! As a guest in your home, I will show your space and family the utmost respect. Being invited into your family's space is a privilege.

“Katie is so amazing, very down to earth and understanding of my dogs quirks and needs. Super excited to have found such a sweet person to help me with my dog Dakota. Will definitely be booking again.”

About: I have been taking care of pets since I got my first dog when I was 12 ever since then I've become very close with dogs and I have grown to love them very much, and now I take care of my little pomeranian! My schedule is super flexible! I'm an early riser, so I'm totally up for taking your pet on an early morning stroll if that works best for you. I'm here every day except Sundays. Just let me know when you need a hand! 😄 I'm lucky to live within walking distance of both the greenway and Mill Mountain. Your pet is in for a treat – I'd love to take them for a stroll in either spot, and I'm pretty sure they'll have a blast! 🌳🐾

About: Hi, I’m Rosemary! I love animals and have always grown up with birds, hamsters, cats, and dogs! I currently have one dog named Winston who is a sweet Maltese who loves other dogs. I’m very caring and attentive to animals and love making them as comfortable as possible. I grew up with a lot of pets and have always had a great love for them. I am flexible, especially on the weekends! I’m excited to be able to care for other’s pets and make them assured they are fine while their owners are away. I am definitely happy to care for cats as well as any other type of animal - no discrimination! Please let me know how I can help you and get started! I’m looking forward to caring for your furry friend. My schedule is pretty flexible and doesn't change much with another animal since I have my own dog who has his schedule down pretty well. I treat the animals as my own, they are allowed free range of my apartment if the owner wants. My dog is not crated during the day and likes to have a buddy to pal around with and play.

About: Hi! My name is Lisa and I've grown up with dogs my whole life. My parents owned a farm so I've always been used to animals and couldn't imagine my life without them! I've volunteered at the SPCA multiple times and own a 5 year-old Labrador retriever and 5 year old Golden retriever. They’re the sweetest boys and love to play with other dogs. I'm reliable and animals have my heart so i give them the best possible care :) I am home full time and I have a big yard where the dogs can run and play as well as a big basement where we can relax. I will send pictures and videos throughout their stay! Can't wait to meet and care for some of your loved pets!! I am home full time, so your pet will be outside having a blast with my pups! We go on walks daily as well as throw toys in the yard. I have 2 pups that will play with your dogs, many toys and lots of yard space to play!

About: My family has always had animals and we couldn’t live without them. I’ve always been the biggest animal lover 🖤🐾 no matter the size or breed, I’ll treat them like I would my own! My current schedule is flexible. I am always wanting to help others and I’ve been successful with making plans that work best for me and my clients needs. I prioritize my own health so daily walking and playing with your fur babies will be enjoyable for the both of us! 🥰 I am a nurse first but if I didn’t take care of humans for a living, I’d take care of pets without a doubt. I am patient, honest, gentle, and trustworthy. I’ve never met an animal who didn’t gravitate towards me. You can rely on me to get the job done.

About: The last thing you want to do is worry about your pet while you’re away for work - I get it! My goal is to make your worries go “POOF!” and know that while you’re away your pet is happy, healthy, and safe. I’ll work with your pet’s schedule and give them wonderful care and attention while I am in their presence. Walks? Check. Playtime? Check. Tricks and treats? DOUBLE check! I believe that communication is highly important so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in good hands. While taking care of your pet, I’ll be in contact with you of any issues, updates, or any special requests you would like communicated. Time away from your pet no longer has to be stressful for you or your fur baby! I am patient with all animals and will take care of your companion like they are my own.<3 I have had animals my whole life, both cats and dogs. Since I was 6 years old I walked, trained, bathed, fed, and nurtured my dog Chloe from when she was a puppy until she sadly passed away. I adore dogs of all sizes! Currently, I have one dog (Terror mix named Bella), two leopard geckos, fish, and two hamsters. I am a part-time business owner of a cleaning company. I am looking to fill my other half of the day loving and caring for animals!

Please ask as I may have an opening for you! I currently do not do boarding of pets in my home. However, I do drop-ins and dog walks. I will be respectful of your home and will leave it as I found it. I will clean any pet related messes that occur before I arrive. As mentioned above, I clean homes for a living and have since I was 18 years old, so entering homes and understanding the trust you are putting in others to walk in your home is big. I do not take that lightly.

About: I stepped away from being a Civil Engineer to do more of the things I enjoy and I have found that taking care of animals is one of these things. Also taking early retirement has allowed me to have a very flexible schedule. Dogs have always been an integral part of my family, we currently have 2. I also worked as a vet tech/kennel/groomers assist for 3 years before returning to college. During this time I gained a lot of knowledge in many aspects of pet care and basic grooming. I love being outside and being active and would love to have a furry buddy to go out with me. My 2 dogs get exhausted from the longs walks/hiking and could use a break. I also have experience with farm animals (horses, goats, ducks, and chickens)!
