Dog Walkers in Floyd, VA

About: I have been pet sitting for many years. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, and even a chameleon. I really have a special affection for dogs. I connect with them and they with me. I have friends whose dogs freak out when they see me after not having seen me for a while. I take them on hikes, play with them, and do whatever is necessary to keep them in good health while in my care. I can see that all your dogs needs are met, including medications, special foods, treats, and a good night's sleep. I have a fenced-in backyard where your dog and mine can frolic while I keep an eye on them. I always supervise and dogs aren't left on their own.

About: i’ve taken care of pets for lots of friends and family, along with neighbors! I also have grew up with cats and have two of my own! I worked a vet clinic taking care of the pets in boarding to! I have tons of years of experience! :) I stay home full time, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your babies and play/love on them! We also have 4 sweet babies of our own, that can be played with or put up pure your request! I walk pets outside with leash to insure no one gets away or hurt! I also have 4 sweet babies of my own for your fur babies to play with, but can accommodate to your needs if needed or requested!

About: I am a lover of all animals, especially dogs. I grew up with dogs of all kinds, big and small. Therefore, I know that dogs have different needs and personalities. About four years ago I got a puppy of my own and she has been an amazing companion. I also have experience working with special needs dogs as I have dog sat for a deaf Westie in the past. I would love to care for your pets! I am currently only available on the weekends for services including walks, boarding, and drop in visits. I am available for boarding or doggy daycare. I have a fenced in yard and have a sweet four year old dog to keep your pups entertained.

About: Growing up with large breeds (Bernese Mountain Dog & German Shepard), I’ve always been a lover of all pets, especially dogs. Since relocating to Blacksburg area for work 7 years ago, I’ve pet sat for a variety of animals in the region, ranging from puppies to senior dogs with specific medical needs. It would be an honor to meet and care for your pets! I work full time at VT (a few days are remote/week) and part time at a brewery, although both schedules are quite flexible. I am happy to adjust schedules or remote days to meet your pets needs! I don’t have any pets in my current home, so I’m flexible to either board at my townhouse or stay at the pets home! I offer both options to all families and willing to drive up to an hour distance.

“Katie has been great with Indie, communicates very well, and is on time and flexible with our dynamic schedule needs so we are thankful to have found her and plan on making her our regular walker for the foreseeable future.”

About: My home is where I tell people "they have me trained well". I love all animals and believe they deserve the best of treatment as they give to us so unconditionally. Any animal in our household is taken care of as they are our children. Our older dog was raised to be kind to smaller animals and seems to think anything smaller than him is his to take care of. We taught this by stroking gently and telling him to "be nice" this is just a "baby". Animals are never hit or disciplined by any harsh means, we reinforce good behavior. Our dogs get brushed every night around 7:00 and remind us if we miss the time and we treat them to a small snack every evening around 8:30 which they know also.

“Our dog Kai loved her walk with Lea, and I appreciated that she was on time and reliable. I won't hesitate to book with her again.”

About: I've spent years working in rescues, boarding facilities, and veterinary clinics, giving me hands-on experience with pets of every age, temperament, and medical need.

About: I have my own service dog that Iv had since 10 weeks old for a medical reasons. ( I’m much better and out of recovery:) We have a great connection and he is well behaved for a young male and helps with basic needs. He Loves all dogs, cats, and children! Super friendly dog but also well mannered. Walks off leash and does very well with voice commands. Very socialized and cuddle bug! He doesn’t “bark” unless playing or in emergency situations to gain attention. On multiple occasions if a small dog yips at him, he is so unfamiliar with barking so he will easily gets scared and will back down. Which is very good behavior as my other dog is an old soul and doesn’t like to play. This is great when meeting other dogs because he knows personal space :) Like I mentioned my other dog is an old soul, stays in his bed under a blanket for the most part unless his stomach tells him it’s feeding time. He loves to lay on the porch and sun bath, as well as getting scratches and napping/cuddling. Also well behaved and socialized. I also offer training as I have observed so many classes with my fur baby, and taught him a lot of cool tricks myself. Just be prepared to pick up your dog with a new trick or two !!! I have a spare bedroom for the dogs with the kennels and for separate feeding areas. All dogs will eat in separate spaces and always have multiple water bowls. ( all bowls washed nightly) Check out my face book page “v’s dog care “ to see past experiences and play dates ! 🐾 live near dog parks as well as an open field and walking trail. I’m located in an animal loving community. I have one high energy dog and one “ old soul”. BOTH suckers for Attention, so no matter what attention your dog needs I got it ! I take my boys on hikes, trails, and out to Ponds or lakes daily. Both flee less and tick treated on a monthly basis ! I work flex for the hospital and I teach as a Montessori teacher right down the road from my house as well as a full time college student. I am very responsible, trustworthy and reliable. I reassure I balance my time very well and My boyfriend is a retired vet who is very accommodating with my schedule and loves dogs just as much as me ! No matter how busy I may be myself or my significant other is always with the dogs or we make sure not to leave longer than 2hour duration. My classes are mainly online and this allows me to do a lot of work remote to be with the furbabies ! I try to keep my work schedule away from client visits but If I am working I’m less than a mile from home and make sure to make trips back to let the animals stretch and use the bathroom. . I walk my dog daily, feeding on a 2 time daily routine, outside breaks every 2-4 hours Love play dates ! Very active Daily training exercises My boy is Kennel trained but roams free in the house ( dog proof) and our yard. (Partially fenced ) Prefer animals good with others for my fur baby to join and gain some entertainment too. I have 1 dog who is very friendly and loves to explore and play! Don’t forget a good nap time together with some cuddles ! The other just sleeps and begs for attention, old soul. My dog loves water and typically needs a bath regularly, willing to do the same. I use a baking soda base shampoo and non fragrance ear wipes. I always ask for you to bring your own shampoo you prefer incase they get dirty and I can send them home clean! My dogs gets allergies and I do Epsom salt baths for their feet if their licking a lot. I have no issue doing this for your animal if they need but will never take initiative without permission.

“On very short notice, Deja did everything we asked and took great care of our pups!”

About: Hello! I have taken care of dogs since I was born! I have had many dogs over my 20 years of experience, ranging from new born puppies, to older dogs. I also have cats, turtles, and have had fish over the years, as well. I have even helped my five year old pup deliver her own puppies! I adore animals and would love to play and look after them, I get attached needless to say😄. I would communicate and deliver beyond your expectations- not only because that’s what you want, but rather what I would love to do. It would be the highlight of my day and make my dull day into a fulfilling day! I am very compassionate when it comes to animals, although the extra money would be a highlight, regardless, I love animals! I make sure they get lots of loving, play time, food, water, and of course let’s not forget treats! I inspire them to their very own play day!

About: I’ve been taking care of my own dogs for 15+ years, along with a variety of exotic animals including birds, snakes, rats, fish and many more. I have been walking and feeding and watching dogs, cats, horses and farm animals for 10 years. I love animals, I always have and while I work full time, I self schedule and can be flexible. I don’t typically travel for holidays so I am around locally on most holidays, and can fit your beloved pet into my schedule so you can feel at ease while you are away from them. I can do whatever you need me to do in your house. I have lots of experience with puppies and elderly dogs (and those in between), cats and kittens, and lots of exotic animals. I am good at following directions and can accommodate whatever you need in your space. I also have lots of experience tiring out super energetic pups on long hikes or walks if you need! I love the outdoors and having dogs with me just makes it better! I look forward to meeting you and your precious pets! I work Monday-Wednesdays in Roanoke and my weekends are variable- I try to keep my calendar up to date. If I have events on the weekends (I’m a musician) they are typically local, and I will block out my calendar for tours. I have flexible scheduling during the day in Roanoke, and can work around your schedule even if you’re not in Roanoke. My work is accommodating and partially work from home. I like to provide my clients with updates on their pets while they are away with pictures and descriptions of anything out of the ordinary they may need to know about, and also just cute shenanigans your critters are up to each day. If you have any questions always feel free to message me with specifics and I will do my best to accommodate. Whether I am spending the night, or stopping by your home, I will treat your space and pets with respect and do my very best to communicate openly with you!

About: I have grown up with pets my whole life. I have had chickens for about 7 years and 4 dogs for over 15 years. I also have some experience with other animals as well. I grew up with three German shepherds and a crazy hyper Jack Russell. We bred our two german shepherds and kept one puppy from the litter so I do have experience with puppies and the patience to take care of them. The two shepherds I grew up with passed away due to sicknesses so I also have experience taking care of sick dogs and giving them the extra special care they need! I have also taken care of friends pets numerous times. I have always had a love for caring for animals and getting to spend quality time with them. Growing up surrounded by all sorts of pets has given me the skills of patience and how to give the correct care and attention each specific pet needs. I’m currently in school for the medical field and have a pretty full schedule in the mornings during the week. But I have a clear schedule Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and am available in the afternoons during the week. I live in the countryside with many acres of open land so I have plenty of space your pets can roam around, play, and not have to worry about keeping them on a leash when they are being watched. If my client is not comfortable with letting them go without a leash I also have an extremely large fenced in area that small dogs to large dogs cannot get out of. I do have a Jack Russell who is old so I keep other animals away from her to make sure she is safe and not at risk of being hurt since she is older. I also have a German shepherd and she is all love and cuddles and enjoys play time with other dogs and would love another furry friend to play with!

About: People like me because I LOVE pets so much. I have a 2-year-old chihuahua named Cheeto, and have had many size dogs over the years. I also have a cat named Marvel who is under a year. I grew up on a farm with a variety of animals from small to large, cats, dogs, horses, pigs, rabbits, and a peacock. My friends and family say that I have animal radar and know when one is near. I do well with a variety of temperaments, and warm up to the dog at their own comfort level. I send picture or video updates so the pet parents can keep in touch and not miss them. From past work with a pet brand and learned some good information about dog food and safety; and am a part of a petsitting group online where we share useful learning. I would have 10 dogs if I could, so this is the way to meet more! I look forward to meeting your best friends, and loving them like they are accustomed. I'm grateful to Rover for allowing me to make lifelong friends in addition to my petsitting business. It fits anytime! I do walks, pick-ups for vet or groomer, overnights, days or just multiple visits. I observe and communicate behaviors. Safety is key! Any service in your home, I usually shut doors that won’t be necessary to eliminate accidents during stays, play and walk and give them company or a game. I leave your home like I found it or better and communicate frequently for any direction from you or notification about your pet and home. Get the mail, water plants. At my home, I have a whole floor for them to hang out and look out a huge window to deer, birds, plants. We walk in the suburb, or take car rides if ok. Watch movies, naps. I make sure in any situation that safety and risk assessment is on point. If I don’t know I will ask. If it’s a medium breed or smaller dog in my home, I’ll walk them with my chihuahua, or if not, just walk separately.

About: @ateamdogcare I have been using rover for 6 years now. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats who have been with the dogs since they were 3 weeks old. We live on 2 acres with a great fenced in yard. We love hosting pets and will treat them like our own. Im always home so let’s can stay on their normal schedules and have someone around while you’re gone. Feel free to message me with any questions! I also have experience with medications, including injectable ones. When your pup comes to stay with us we ask that you bring; their food, treats, favorite toys/bones, bed or blanket, crate (if you use one), bowls, and a leash. Or anything that might make your dogs stay easier! :)

About: I have been dog sitting around my neighborhood since I was about 13. I have lots of experience not only dog sitting but house sitting as well. I also have experience with puppies and helping train/teach them. My biggest experience is working for a doggie daycare and working at a dog park (BarK for anyone familiar!) Along with this I also have had two cats and two dogs of my own who I love dearly. I am also CPR certified in dog CPR and have basic first-aid experience with animals! I am currently searching for a job so I have plenty of time to focus on you and your pets! I would love to spend as much time as your pets need to make sure they are comfortable and happy :) As of now I won’t be able to offer boarding/daycare at my place but at others houses I want to make sure both human and dog have the best experience possible. I will always check what is expected of the pets during our time together (allowed on furniture? Nice to others on walks? Etc) I make sure that the pets are getting the most out of our time together with lots of interaction and love :)
