Tara is the sweetest. I was able to ask lots of questions and feel very comfortable with what to expect. She loved on my dog before heading out which allowed me to know she was in good hands. Will be booking again for sure.

About: I’ve taken care of family, friends and neighbors dogs since i was younger. I love learning new things about your dog or cat and finding ways i can help. My personal dog has diabetes, I have to give her insulin shots every morning and night after she eats. I’ve been giving her shots for about 3 years now. If your dog needs any shots I have personal experience giving them. I work part time, but i’ve had a lot more time on my hands, so i would love to help take care of your dog and or cat. I feed, play, take walks, bathe, cuddle, and give lots of attention when they want it. I give them their space when they want it.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and a cat my entire life, so caring for animals comes very naturally to me. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and communicative, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I’d love to provide a safe, loving, and reliable experience for them while you’re away. I currently work from home, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. I’m available before and after work, and I also have a flexible lunch break that I can adjust as needed for walks, drop-ins, or check-ins. This flexibility allows me to give your pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. I enjoy staying active and going on walks, and I’m more than happy to check in on your pet throughout the day. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment, while following any routines or instructions you provide.

Brittni has been a huge help when it comes to looking after my dog! She is reliable, professional, and truly treats my pet as one of her own. My job calls for long hours and being able to rely on her to check on my pet while I’m gone gives me peace of mind.

I have taken care of my childhood cat when he was 17-20, a diabetic cat for 3 years (roommates), a dog with serious skin allergens, a geriatric dog, and I am currently a cat mom of 2 kittens I rescued from a crawlspace in the summer.

I have an incredibly flexible schedule. I have a fenced in yard right by the state park so I will be able to take your pet on a lot of safe walks

About: I provide compassionate and trustworthy pet care and treat every pet as if they were my own.

I spend quality time with them through walks, playtime, and gentle attention so they don’t feel lonely or stressed. I also watch closely for any changes in behavior or health and communicate updates to the owner so they feel at ease.

About: I have grown up helping to take care of family pets, as well as watching them and other pets for friends and family members. I have done anywhere from week-long stays to just pop-in visits. I am currently working part-time while home for a couple months. I will have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! Whether it’s overnight or just daily walks! I always want to make sure the pet(s) is comfortable when I am entering their space. I know animals are typically pretty regimented (like us) so I want to make the transition of you being gone smooth.

Jim did a great job walking Eilidh while I was recovering from surgery. He always texted to let me know when he was on his way and was flexible when I needed to adjust times. He even took Eilidh to/home from daycare one day. He gave her a lot of affection and brought her treats (which she loved). I will definitely use Jim again if I have a need.

About: Growing up, I've had a total of 5 dogs in my house ranging from a chihuahua to a chocolate lab. Like many other dog owners, I am a firm believer that my dogs are my children. And no matter how old they get, they are still a puppy. I am also now a mom of 2 cats, who love to play and of course are very sassy. I currently have a flexible work schedule that allows me to look after your pet. Just let me know whenever you need me and I will be there! I am very respectful of your home and property. It is my goal to create a safe space for your pet to feel comfortable and have fun because that is their home, I am just visitor.

About: I've had a family dog my whole life (German Shepard and Lab) and now have one of my own (lab puppy). She's great with other dogs and would love someone to hang out with on my days off. I live in an apt with no yard but in short walking distance to dog park and several grassy areas. I only work 3 days a week so have 4 days where I can be of use to the pets and make sure they have their needs met. I work at the hospital 3 days a week so I have 4 days free to use however I please. I have a puppy of my own so I am very accustomed to frequent potty breaks, play time and longer walks. 1 friendly puppy and nearby grassy areas and dog parks for off leash fun. Love taking longer walks to explore the city several times a day

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a child. Not only did my family own dogs growing up, I volunteered at a shelter in college. Friends, family, and neighbors alike have trusted me to care for their pets. My company allows be to work remote; therefore, pet care fits naturally into my routine. While I might not be in a position to own a dog long term, per care comes naturally to me and is something I enjoy doing. I offer pet care in the clients home. I noticed dogs feel more at ease in their home environment. As long a there is Wi-Fi I can work from my clients house and tend to their pets.

Shannon was really lovely as a dog walker. She was flexible and communicative and my dog enjoyed his walks with her, he was always excited to see her come for pick up. She worked extra hard to overcome some of his quirks. Thanks, Shannon!

About: I was nine years old when I got my first dog which was a Golden Retriever who taught me everything I needed to know about love, loyalty and tenderness. I’ve had many wonderful dogs and cats as companions in my lifetime. I recently retired from hospice nursing and look forward to the joy of babysitting my granddaughter, bird feeding and hiking. I have plenty of time. I keep a watchful eye on my cat Arlo when he goes outside. All animals are curious and can get in to trouble or get lost. I have a 6' fence and he wears a collar.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Fort Story.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk.
