Dog Walkers in Fourway, VA

About: Hi! My name is Kimberly, I am a full time registered nurse with a lot of flexibility in my schedule to assist you with your pets needs while you are away! Since I have multiple days off a week I am able to work my schedule around the needs of your pets (babies!). I currently have three dogs, although, I have also owned and loved rabbits, hamsters, cats, ferrets, and fish. I am open to caring for any animal (expect spiders, sorry!!!) that you have. I can administer any medications needed. I currently have a fully blind hound dog with glaucoma that is also a diabetic requiring insulin injections along with oral medication and eye drops. Our beloved Bullmastiff, whom passed away in 2024 was epileptic and required 12 pills a day along with as needed rectal seizure meds so I am positive I can care for your special needs animals with just as much love and care when you are away. I have two elementary school aged children who can also assist with helping with your pets needs (if applicable & okay with owners) with my assistance to help learn responsibility, routines, a good work ethic, and be able to earn their own money and learn the hard work and value of a dollar. My kids have experience with feeding, walking, medication administration, and lots of play and snuggles. :) Please reach out if you have any questions! I look forward to loving on your animals and spoiling them rotten! I currently work three - 12 hour shifts a week. Some nights, some days. I am very flexible with my work schedule which makes my flexibility to care for your animals better! I have a large fully fenced in back yard. I crate my animals when I am not at home for more than two hours at a time. I have one extra crate not in use if needed. We have about an acre of land in total and love to go for walks or hikes.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and done training and dog walking in a shelter as a volunteer. I love getting dogs outside and letting them run around. I have been hiking with my dog for his entire life and was able to train him on the leash and off the leash to allow us to have the freedom to run free and the ability to get him on the leash and behave around other dogs and people on the road and on the trails. I have been dog sitting for the last 8 years and love spending time with all the pups. I can’t wait to take care of animals and give them the necessary play time and exercise when you’re not there to. I keep my schedule updated to where I am unavailable when I work to allow for your pets to get the utmost care. However I am willing to work with you around my work schedule! I have experience with reactive dogs and I will keep your dog safe and on a leash unless in a fenced in yard. I prefer staying at the dogs home to help them stay comfortable

About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life on a regular basis. I am very loving and patient towards dogs but know how to handle them if things get out of control. I have worked at multiple dog day cares and used to run a foster system at home. I am a good dog trainer and very affectionate. My last employment was as a supervisor for a Dog daycare where I looked after multiple dogs and was trusted to handle dozens alone if needed. I have always loved working with dogs and have gathered a'lot of experience understanding and taking care of them. I know that I can take care of your dog with the best of care on a reliable and professional level. I am currently taking online classes at school and thus have a flexible availability that works for taking care of dogs and cats. It also adds into my love for animals. I have always had a dog in my house or apartment and would care for your dog the same way at your home. I get up at 6am daily and feed the dogs and then walk them for about 30min to ensure fresh air and energy. I make sure to give them adequate attention in the house and ensure they are also comfortable and have time to sleep.

“Laura is such a kind, animal loving person! She is excellent at communicating and so wonderful with my dogs. They are excited when she comes over to walk them. Highly recommend her!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. Now that I work from home with flexible hours, I have time to care for pups, exercise mine and be fully attentive to each and every dogs needs. I am so blessed with this. I listen, I care, I am communicative. I promise- your pup / animal is in amazing hands with me! Since I work from home, I am able to work off of your schedule! I am flexible as early as 530am and late as midnight :-) I have 6 acres of land but usually am always supervising the pups no matter what. Potty breaks after meals and before meals and before bedtime. I always follow instructions from the owner before interactions with my pups. I usually will have a doggie on a leash at my house unless the owner states otherwise.

About: I've cared for puppies, poodles, a parakeet, pretty black labs, and purrrfect kitties. I loved them all like they were my family. Would love to do the same for you. I'm currently semi- retired so I will have time to take your fur babies for a walk and interact with them. They will be happy when you get home! I'm a stickler for making sure your pet pal has water, food, and treats. I can bath your pet if needed. Walking your pet will not be hurried, so your pet can stop and smell the roses, or whatever dogs like to smell. Oh I will always bring doggie bags to clean up.

About: I have 30+ years of experience with dogs of all sizes/ages. It's easy for me to create a bond with them. I pay attention to the details and how each dog reacts to situations. I am able to adjust and give them the care and attention they need and deserve. I enjoy walks and playing with the dogs that are in my care. Each dog I have cared for gets excited when they see me again so I must be doing something right. I can provide walks, in home care and in my home. If you go on vacation, I will make sure your dog/dogs will have a vacation as well. It would be my pleasure to see that they are loved and taken care of.

“Jocelyn was great to communicate with and was on time with her arrival. My dog is sound asleep after their walk… would absolutely recommend Jocelyn for your dog sitting needs!”

“Sherry took our menagerie of dogs and cats in stride when she arrived and she handled my dog Duncan with ease during the walk. She obviously loves animals and my dog, who is sometimes shy with strangers, immediately liked her and will be happy to see her the next time she comes. I highly recommend her if you need a good caretaker for your pets.”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. They truly are a man’s bestfriend. At home I have a beautiful white lab, he is 95lbs of pure love thinking he’s a lapdog. I also have a King Charles Cavalier that is the princess of the house. She is so happy and spunky and keeps us all laughing. Previously I have owned Cocker Spaniels, other Labs and a Maltese. I started dogsitting when I was 11 years old. I had just arrived at my grandparents house and I saw this little dog wandering around and he ran right to me and I saw the owner walking towards me up the road. The puppy let me pick him up and we walked all the way to the owner. He and his wife were pilots so whenever they were flying I was working and I was ecstatic to have my first job looking after their two dogs. Through the years I’ve done Bathing, walks, feeding, medications, shots , vet trips, etc. I truly love dogs and seeing them happy, and giving their families peace of mind that their beloved pups will be well loved while they are gone. I send texts and pictures of each visit and keep in communication with the family. If you choose to trust me with your four legged family member I guarantee they will be well taken care of and loved. I am a teacher so I have Summers to offer. My Schedule throughout the school year fills up so book in advance because I also do tutoring, and nannying throughout the week. I would love to meet you and your pup. Just reach out! I will not be able to have any dogs in my home personally because of home owner restrictions. In the clients home I would provide feelings, walks, medication, or whatever else the puppy would need. If there is a history of dogfights or biting I am not the person for you.

About: I have worked with dogs and some training for 15 years, I also manage a dog daycare in Winchester, and have been trained to do pet care with sick animals as well. I recently became a stay at home pet mom due to the daycare I managed shut down. I now have more time to care for your fur babies. I have a fenced in yard, they will have play time and regular potty breaks and are free to roam the house if owner chooses to. Also crates of that is the owners request

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life. From housetraining puppies to caring for aging senior dogs, I have experience with a range of personalities/quirks and am very comfortable with large or hyperactive dogs and rescues. My older Beagle has a seizure disorder, so I have experience with caring for pups with medical needs and I can administer medication. I also have 5 years of experience volunteering in a high-volume animal shelter, working predominantly with large dogs, so I understand how animals might behave when they are in a stressful environment and interacting with an unfamiliar person. I strive to provide a stress-free, comforting environment while you are away so please let me know what your pup loves the most! What you can expect: — Time outdoors, playing or on leashed walks — Cuddles and belly rubs — Lots of (approved) treats — Every effort to stick to your pet’s routine and establish clear boundaries! I can provide in-home doggy day care and boarding on Fridays and weekends with a prior meet and greet. Your pup will never be left alone with my dogs when I’m providing doggy day care, but I do require them to be crate-trained for overnight stays. I work full-time during the week but have a very flexible schedule. I can provide morning walks, drop in visits and afternoon playtime before lots of attention in the evening. I can board one to two dogs in my home if they are crate-trained, but a meet and greet is required beforehand. They will not be left alone in my home with my pups unattended. I am available for drop-in visits and some housesitting. I am open to long-term, ongoing schedules as well as flexible, on-the-spot drop-ins. I can provide some services in my own home on Fridays and weekends. I am open to spending as much time as I can with your pup. I enjoy walks, playing outdoors and sticking to their routine as much as possible! I know it can be stressful for pets when their owners are gone so I strive to provide a stress-free experience for your best friend! I will use your standard equipment and follow all directions you provide, especially on walks. I have experience with escape artists and will do everything I can to keep your pup safe. I also am very neat and tidy, will clean up any messes your pet makes and will treat your space with respect.

About: I have always had and taken care of animals from a young age. I will always do my best to go above and beyond for your pets and will always treat them as if they are my own! I work for the Veterinary Emergency Group and will always accommodate /always be willing to move my schedule around to look after and help with your animals! I accept pets of all sizes into my home and they will always be treated just they are my own! I always have a veterinarian on call for emergencies and will always call/ reach out for any questions! You will also always get daily photos!

About: Since I was born I’ve been surrounded by animals. When I was younger neighbors would rely on me to watch their animals. I have worked with puppies (I have one of my own!) and have cared for senior doggies as well! Also love cats and all reptiles! I am newer to the area and am part time in college. I take my classes online so I tend to have a lot of free time! I spend most of my days at home with my furr babies! I currently live in the basement of my moms house with a fenced in yard that connects to the basement door! I have a puppy who stays downstairs with me and a kitten as well. They both LOVE other animals! If watching pets in your home, all directions will be followed!

“I was nervous having someone come into my home and take my pup on walks while I’m at work but Megan has been so great! My dog Dixie loves her! Thank you Megan for what you do! 😁”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 7 years, and it’s something I genuinely love. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra care and attention. I treat every pet like family and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care is a regular and rewarding part of my weekly routine. I’m calm, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs making sure they get the right balance of exercise, playtime, and rest throughout the day. Pets stay in a clean, cozy, and pet-friendly space with plenty of room to relax or play, including a fully fenced yard where they can safely explore and enjoy the outdoors. There’s always someone home even if I need to step out briefly, my mom or my boyfriend, who are both equally experienced and caring with pets, are always around to help. I usually introduce them during meet and greets so everyone feels comfortable and at ease

About: Hello, I’m 28and have been pet sitting for 8 years. Always had fur babies at home though. Just recently started my masters degree. I have two cats. Was raised in a home full of cats and dogs. Been around all types of dogs and cats. Love the ability to see all types of fur babies and get snuggles. I hope I can live up to your expectations and needs for your fur babies and homes. Please message me if you have any questions or concerns. I am open and honest. I hope we can build an ongoing relationship for the sake of the fur babies. They need to feel comfort with a familiar face when you are not present. My schedule can be flexible when needed.
