Dog Walkers in Gate City, VA

“Alexa was great! She was super communicative and showed up on time every single day for a month to walk our two dogs while we were settling into a new house. She got them plenty of exercise each day, gave updates on how they did on each walk, adjusted walk lengths based on the weather and how much energy the dogs had each day, and overall was super attentive to each dog’s individual needs. Our boys are missing her already, and we will definitely be using her in the future!”

Each has their own litter box and I ensure both get a fair share of wet food while also ensuring they don't get overfed. I also ensure to play with them at least twice a day.

About: I've had both cats and dogs most of my life. As a kid I was always bringing home strays, giving them care as needed and finding them homes. As I got older I began volunteering at the animal shelter, mainly working with the dogs. I would give baths, medication, work on basic training, and help make them shine at adoption events! I even had the privilege of working with a deaf dog. I learn hand signals to help teach him basic commands. I have also helped break up several dog fights at the shelter and at dog parks with little harm to myself and the dogs involved. With my personal pets I have had everything from puppies & kittens to seniors needing special care. I have had overly friendly dogs and anxious messes, each needing different training and support. I currently work full time with a varied schedule each week. I do have an hour lunch each day and can do potty breaks depending on how far away from work my client is located. Depending on work schedule a walk/playtime is doable either before or after my schedules shift. Always available to stay overnight. Due to having 5 dogs myself, I will NOT have any clients pets at my personal residence. If a fence is not present at the client's residence all animals will stay on leashes at all times. If client wants/needs pet taken elsewhere to walk (park, different neighborhood, dog park, etc.) they will have a seatbelt on, if they are wearing a harness. Any interactions with other dogs or people will be closely monitored. Paw pads will be checked regularly on extreme temperature days. No water play will be allowed without clients permission.

“Rosalie does an amazing job walking our pups. They get so excited when she arrives! She also sends lots of pics and videos from the walk, which we really appreciate. Best of all, they get some much needed energy out so they’re less rowdy in the evenings when we get home from work!”
