Dog Walking Foxhill

About: I have grown up with animals my whole life. From dogs, cats, reptiles etc. From chihuahua's to Newfoundlands and everything in between I love all types of dogs! My dogs are like my kids so if you ever hear me talking about my kids I am referring to my dogs. :) I am home full time so your pup will always have whatever they need as my schedule is flexible. My family is military but we have been in Virginia for almost 8 years. I have prior veterinary experience as a kennel attendant and a veterinary assistant at a vets office. This is more than just a part time job too me. Caring for pets is a passion and is something I enjoy. The experience you and your pets have is of the up most importance. I will ask a lot of questions about your pets daily routines, things they like and don’t like. This is important because it helps your animals be less stressed if they are sticking to a routine they are used too. This also helps me to understand them better which increases quality of care.

“Both my dog and I think Claire is the best! She was professional, prompt and a good communicator. And - she went above and beyond - giving Coltrane long walks and lots of attention. I totally recommend her and Coltrane gives her a big paws up, too!”

“Jenna was great with my dog, Ellie. I’m new to the area and finding reliable care for my dog is very important to me. I’m glad to find Jenna and I look forward to having her walk Ellie on a regular basis.”

About: I have always had a love for pets! I got my latest dogther 5 years ago and she is a bundle of joy! Others may say I spoil her but I call it just loving her! ! All of my friends and family count on me to care for their pets while they are away and they know that they are in great hands and I will "spoil" their baby just as much as I do my own! I am a former Elementary school teacher. I’ve also worked with special needs children/adults. I am currently a life insurance broker and I work on my own schedule. Which will allow me to care for your pet anytime. I have a girl dog that is small, lovable, and will keep your fur baby company! I can also crate your dog if need be.

About: Hi! I've worked with a lot of different sizes and breeds, as well as different temperaments when it comes to dogs and cats. I can also administer medications and take care of exotic fish or other animals if needed. A little bit about me: I am a very calm, patient, and dependable person with 5 lovely dogs between my husband and I( I had 3 and he had 2 when we met!). I’m a former RN currently at home while finishing up my Doctorate. I would love to get back in to walking, drop-in visits, and recently decided to try out out doggy daycare. We have a nice big backyard! I am open to learning and providing your pup with any accommodations that they may need during my visits and/or their stay. I understand how important it is to make sure they feel safe and loved. Feel free to ask any questions. I look forward to working with you! *I do have a toddler at home most days, so it is important that your dog is friendly with children when considering doggy day care. She will not join me for drop on visits or walks! I do my best to provide service at the times requested. I am very dependable, however I may suggest an alternate time if there is a conflict. I will make it work! I am very organized and respectful when making a visit to a pet parents home. I also make sure doors are locked and light are off when I leave.

About: I’ve owned pets my whole life so I understand the importance in taking care of them. My dogs are my children and I will always take the best care of them. I’ve had many cats when I was younger but I have 2 dogs here with me and 1 back home with my mom. Two of the three dogs I have are rescues, and I’ve owned dogs of all sizes. I am an Air Force veteran and I am currently a stay at home mom. I’m free any day at any time to meet all of your pets needs. I am newer to drop-in visits on this app but I’ve done it plenty of times before joining the app. I am very reliable and will always keep you updated with your pet(s).

About: I've worked in animal welfare & shelters since 2015. I have lots of experience working with dogs and cats with various personalities and needs. I personally own 3 dogs and several cats all at various ages. One of my cats is disabled- and I've owned and worked with dogs and cats that have special needs (seziures, CH, deaf, blind), take daily medications, and possess specific breed traits/personalities that can't make them difficult to manage. Currently work remote and have a large amount of flexibility in between travel for work. I can prov8de limited boarding in home- dogs must be able to coexhist with cats, be able to be crated and/or left in a single room unattended, and be respectful of baby gates. I do have a separate space for cats that is easier to manage. Current cats in the home do free roams but there is an entire space devoted to the dogs in the home. Can crate and rotate as needed and care for up to 2 dogs if everyone can get along. In your home I prefer to stick to as close of a routine that you provide them with- from their potty breaks to morning and evening walks. Staying as consistent as possible can help provide a relaxing trip for you and your pet.

“Ellen is fantastic! Very caring, reliable and great communication. My dog Sammy really enjoys his walks and cuddles. She goes the extra mile and we are lucky to have her help. Highly recommend her!!!”

About: I changed the direction my life was going and found the REASON was Animal Care. I began volunteering at 2 local Humane Societies in 2013. Very shortly thereafter became employed at both Societies = working 7 days a week with animals. I adopted my first 2 pets (torti cats named Cali & Ava) in the Fall of 2013. Adopted a 3rd torti cat in the Spring of 2014 (named Hallie B). I adopted a chihuahua in the Fall of 2016 (named Clara my grandmother’s name). With the exception of Hallie B they have all crossed the Rainbow Bridge. The 1st in December 2020 then June 2021 and most recently in May of 2025 :-( 🐾🐾🐾 They were adopted as Seniors. They were the best. After 4 years of Humane Society work I changed direction again in 2017 to a more professional aspect of Animal Care becoming employed at a Veterinary Hospital as a Kennel Attendant for over 7 years. I have performed a number of cat drop-ins around the Gloucester area for various residents affiliated with the Humane Society. One such assignment lasted for almost two months while the cat’s owners traveled to Florida for the winter. I currently work (outside of Animal Care) OVERNIGHT 40 hours WEDNESDAY night thru SUNDAY. morning. Those days I am usually available for Animal Care from 8am to 2pm. Thursday thru Saturday I am totally available. There is some flexibility with my overnight work and the possibility of a little accommodation for Animal Care. I also have to spare some time for my own cat’s care. See my reviews / testimonials on the WAG! platform for pets I have provided care for most recently. Quality. Compassionate. Care. is what I provide pets. I want them to have the creature comforts that make them feel all warm and comfy and content.

About: I have had dogs in my life since I was born. They are a special part of my life. I love them like family! I treat each animal as unique and special, doing my best to care for your pet as my own. Friends have relied on me to walk and sit with their dogs. I love caring for animals. Currently I am committing a good bit of my time towards animal care while I prepare to enter training to become a veterinary technician. I am very careful to follow your pet’s routine. I am comfortable with all pets and love to play and walk with them. I have no problem working with crate-trained animals, as I have two of my own that are crate-trained.

About: Animals have been apart of my daily life for as long as I can remember. I’ve found that I have a huge connection and love for all animals, but especially dogs, meaning your pet will be in great hands! I live extremely close to the beach and state park, allowing me to take your dog on fun walks and trips. These little adventures give the dog new spaces to explore, while also releasing some energy. My schedule is very flexible We can always discuss specific times and duties further. I’m open to preparing a more organized schedule, creating a perfect plan for both parties! My pets have brought so much joy and love to my life and I will strive to provide and care for your animals like they were my own.

Animals are the greatest gift to us! I am a full time flight student. My schedule is very open, I fly for a few hours per day and am home for the rest of the day. We have a fenced in backyard and space for crates. We have an 11 year old black lab female who loves company. We are used to frequent potty breaks and sun bathing in the back yard.

About: I’ve always been passionate about dog care, having grown up with golden retrievers and cocker spaniels. As the family’s “dog whisperer,” I could connect with and calm any pup. When I moved to San Francisco, I began pet sitting professionally through Rover, offering boarding, daycare, and dog walking services. I often worked with up to three dogs at a time, ensuring each received the right care. Four years ago, I adopted Phoebe, my constant companion and inspiration for a structured, fun, and active routine. We recently moved to Virginia Beach, and I’m excited to return to providing dedicated, personalized pet care. My focus is on each dog’s unique needs. I provide separate feeding spaces to prevent food guarding and stress. I only accept friendly dogs to ensure a safe environment. I maintain a consistent routine with daily walks, beach outings, and playtime. My goal is to create a loving, secure space where every dog feels happy and at home. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily and weekly routine. Each morning, I start by feeding my pet and ensuring they have fresh water. Walks or playtime follow, giving them exercise and attention while helping me start the day actively. In the evenings, I dedicate time to grooming, cleaning up their space, and engaging in another round of play or a walk. Weekly, I focus on tasks like washing bedding, refreshing toys, and scheduling any necessary grooming or health check-ins. This consistent routine keeps my pet healthy, happy, and engaged while fitting naturally into my lifestyle. Safety, Trust, and Environment Ensuring the safety, comfort, and happiness of your dog is my top priority. I've designed my living space with that in mind, taking every precaution to create a safe and welcoming environment that your pet will love to call their temporary home. Space and Location I live in a spacious 1000 sq ft apartment with a fenced backyard, perfect for playtime and fresh air. We are conveniently located just two blocks away from Washington Square Park, a fantastic spot for daily walks and socializing with other dogs. Additionally, we regularly visit fenced dog parks to provide a fun and safe environment for your dog to run and play. Active Lifestyle As an active individual, I love incorporating dogs into my lifestyle. Whether it's a simple walk in the park or a hiking adventure, your dog will have plenty of opportunities for exercise and exploration. My golden retriever, Phoebe, and 1-2 other pups often accompany me on these outings, making for a fun, social experience for your pet. Doggy Areas Inside my home, I have two enclosed "doggy areas", each equipped with a comfortable dog bed, food, and water bowl. These areas are separated by baby gates to ensure each dog has their own space and can feel safe and secure. Feeding Time I'm well aware that dogs can sometimes become protective over their food. To prevent any potential conflict, I always feed dogs separately in their designated areas. This method not only helps maintain harmony among our furry guests but also allows me to monitor your dog's eating habits closely, ensuring they are eating normally and maintaining a healthy diet. Pet-Friendly Home My home is a paradise for dogs! I believe in creating a comfortable and relaxed environment for all my furry guests. Dogs are welcome on the furniture here, so whether your pet loves curling up on the couch or sprawling out on a comfy chair, they will feel right at home. Of course, accidents can happen - especially when pets are in a new environment. But don't worry, I am fully equipped to handle such situations. I have all the necessary cleaning supplies on hand to promptly and efficiently deal with any messes, ensuring that the living space remains clean and comfortable for your pet. Transportation and Adventures For those dogs that love a change of scenery, I have a pet-friendly 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan parked in my building, complete with doggy seatbelts for safe and secure travel. If you're comfortable with it, I love taking the pups on hiking adventures in the surrounding area. I ensure that these trips are never more than an hour away, and they provide a fantastic opportunity for your dog to explore new environments and expend some energy! Rest assured, your pet's safety is always my number one concern during these fun outings. Philosophy on Training / Handling Problem Behavior While I take a lot of effort to avoid and problems - we all know that sometimes, shit happens. I don’t believe in any punitive or negative reactions to such behavior - it either exacerbates the anxiety/trigger that caused it, and doesn’t do much to teach them anything. I have separate spaces in my home for a reason to account for this, and will give your doggo plenty of love to put them at ease. I will promptly let any owner about problem behavior - what happened, what I believe caused it, and how I am currently remedying it. I’m very patient with dogs, and haven’t run into a situation I haven’t been able to remedy. If your dog is a rescue with social anxiety, I tend to form a lot of trust with these pups with this approach. With rescue dogs, I view things from the dog’s perspective - any view a lot of their trepidation / behavior as a direct result of what humans did (or didn’t) do for them. I approach these dogs with the utmost care and patience when forming a bond to let them know I’m someone I can trust, and that it’s on their terms. I have a special place in my heart for these pups, so if you have a rescue that’s shy, please don’t be shy in booking!
