Dog Walkers in Gloucester, VA

About: As a passionate animal advocate, I've had the privilege of serving as the Foster Care Coordinator at the Gloucester-Mathews Humane Society for 1 year, while also volunteering with shelters throughout my adult life. Additionally, I'm a Certified Veterinarian Assistant, and my life's journey has been enriched by sharing it with diverse animals, from beloved domestic pets like dogs and cats, to hospice and senior animals. I'm committed to providing your cherished pets with the same love, care, and compassion that I've devoted to my own. I am thrilled to be available Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm. If you have a special request for different hours, I invite you to share your needs and I will eagerly discuss and arrange a solution that works for you. I will nurture your fur babies with the same love and devotion I would shower upon my own precious little ones. With my extensive shelter experience, I have been blessed to work with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, temperaments and life stages. I have had the joy of caring for rambunctious puppies and the privilege of providing comfort to senior dogs and cats.

About: Hello! I am Briana, I am a 22 years old and currently just working jobs on here. I have 3 dogs: 2 female Australian Shepards and one male. I also have a leopard gecko and 3 chickens. I have always been the one to take care of our pets including feeding, walking, playing with them, etc. I will work with you to give you all my time I can so i can care for you and your fur bab(y/ies) needs. I am reliable, responsible and passionate about working with animals and plan to make a career out of working with animals. They are my pride and joy, and will treat yours like my own. I am open to any types of animals, including fish, reptiles and anything else you may have! My schedule as of right now is open weekdays and some weekends. I am willing to work around my personal schedule to take care of you and your pets needs! We have 11 acres of land and our pups love running free as they please. We feed our dogs twice daily and take them outside every couple of hours, which can be provided for yours as well.

About: Your four legged family member is just as important to me as they are to you! You can expect personalized attention given to your pet, and I will treat them as if they are one of my own! My own pets are obedient but also spoiled, they get the perfect level of training and loving every day! I have had a variety of dogs, from squirrel chasers, to loungers, from 30 pounds to 110 pounds! I can handle anything and everything they have to offer! I believe that pets are therapeutic to be with, and in order for them to be that way they need their own source of therapy- socializing and walks! Let your pet continue to grow through different experiences with me today! Pet care is my priority! I can dedicate 100% of my time to your furry family member to ensure their needs are met- no matter what! Plenty of outdoor time is a given for any type of service. At my home, the fully fenced backyard will be the ultimate playground. And of course some walking around the quiet neighborhood for some mental stimulation!

About: I’ve been an avid animal lover from a very young age and have worked with many different types and life stages. My most extensive experience is with horses, but I have also managed flocks of chickens, rehabilitated sick cats, trained dogs, have been responsible for the care of sheep. I was that girl in high school that everyone brought their sick pets to. Nowadays I’m the one people ask for advice concerning everything from behavioral to health problems. As my husband and I are starting our personal farm I am opening up my pet sitting to a more people. I’m currently managing my personal farm and have a seasonal part time job that takes me away Thursday, Friday and Saturday afternoons. Other than that, I am typically at home. I have a 18 acre farm for dogs with a good recall to play on. These dogs can spend most of their day joining me and my own pets in caring for the farm. For dogs without a good recall, I do have a smaller horse paddock that I can let them play in. The fence will hold most dogs of every shape and size. Interaction between residents of the paddock and your pets will only be allowed at my discretion. The residents are dog-friendly and will be moved to another area for your pup’s playtime. I also have access to 25 acre of woods with trails to take dogs on more extensive walks. My personal farm consists of chickens, quail, sheep, a pony, a cow, two large dogs and pigs. I personally feel that a happy pet is one that has a job. In coming to my farm your pets will be treated like my pets. I am not prone to spoiling but I do like to reward jobs well done. There are a few rules but they are easy to learn. Most visiting pets are pros within 15 minutes. I have several toys and puzzles to entertain pups that are more indoor oriented.

“Great service!!”

About: I love animals big and small. I have owned three hamsters, 5 fish, 4 dogs, and up to 6 cats. I wouldn’t be who I was without them!! Love and enjoy carrying for animals as much as kids! Based on the task given wether staying for couple hours or to just walking them I would fit in whenever and where ever I am needed. I will make sure when I am caring for your fur baby that they are safe and happy. And as comfortable as one can be missing there humans.

About: Hello! My name is Zach, I have two dogs and two cats of my own and have grown up with no less than four pets at any given time. Often when I meet people's furry companions I'm told they warm up to me faster than normal and even some times for the first time, so I'm open to try to care for almost any pet! Responsiveness, honesty, and genuine care should be expected from a pet sitter - let me know if I can help! My partner and I work from home so we're available and flexible throughout the week for all pet care services. Just let us know when and we can try to make it work! I have a big but unfenced yard, two sweet begal-hound mix brothers (one is energetic, the other lazy) and two sweet and playful cat sisters. It's a cozy and fun home environment. All the animals get plenty of attention (we love to play) and the dogs are let out consistently throughout the day. I can crate if needed, follow any special instructions, and we have a spare room if space is needed. Your pet will be treated as our own, just let us know!

About: I have had pets all my life! We have had cats and dogs growing up. As an adult, we have even had chickens! I love playing with all sorts of fur babies! Not to mention extra snuggles! I have been house-sitting and watching friends' dogs while they go on vacation and have loved every second of it! The job I have right now allows me a lot of free time and I work on my own schedule. So this would give me the availability I would need to help you and your busy schedule!! Your pets would be taken care of in your home. I feel this is the most comfortable and stress-free way for your pets. Whatever their routine is, they will have the same as if you were home with them!

About: Creator and owner of dauchshund to the Rescue.I've always had a passion for animals since I was a little girl.I'm currently going to school for veterinary medicine. My life revolves around taking care of animals while running the rescue so I am always home to take care of all of their needs. Each dog and cat is different, so it's on a case-by-case basis, I always like to observe their behavior and take care of them based on what they seem comfortable with.

About: I’ve had dogs on and off my entire life. For the last 12 years our family has rescued/adopted 11 dogs. I have kept family and friends' dogs while they vacation as well as done drop ins at their home for walks, feeding and cuddling. I have also taken care of goats and chickens. I will treat your pets how I would want someone to treat mine. I am comfortable around all size and breeds of dogs and cats as well as goats and chickens. I am self employed and have a very flexible schedule. I am available almost any time, including nights and weekends. Most schedules can be accommodated. I have 5 acres which about 1/2 acre is fenced in with 6-foot fencing. I can snuggle your dog on the couch or crate them if they feel more comfortable like that. I have my own personal dogs but keep them separate from other people's pets. If you leave directions of what your pets routine in your home is like I can provide for them in that manner.

About: I have owned, trained and taken care of a huge variety of breeds, temperaments and sizes. My current dog is a 120lb Shiloh Shepherd. My last was a 7lb Rat Terrier, Chihuahua mix! I'm currently in school online and self employed, so I can modify my schedule to fit your needs! From early mornings, to late in the evening, I have you covered! Pets are part of your family and as such, will be treated with the utmost care, respect and diligence. It is a big leap to trust a stranger with a family member, and I strive to provide the best care for you pet!

About: I am an animal lover who has been in the animal care field for about 7 years. I am trained with medicating animals, whether it be oral, topical, or subcutaneously. I have experience with aggressive pets, diabetic/epileptic pets, as well as puppies and senior pets. I can do baths, as well as everything that comes with bath prepping (nails, ear cleaning, a good brushing, etc.) I can also send as many picture and text updates as needed while sitting. Im currently in school for Animal Health and Behavior, in hopes to become a rehabilitator and own my own sanctuary. I spend most of my free time with my dog, a standard schnauzer/poodle mix, whether it be taking him on walks or taking him to the beach. I am really excited to start pet sitting, as I enjoy meeting new people and their pets! I look forward to taking care of your fur-babies! I don’t care for pets in my own home, as my younger dog is selective with other animals. I am more than happy to do whatever is necessary to keep your fur baby comfortable in their home! I’m completely comfortable with doing your own schedule and routine at your home. I keep a clean and tidy home, and will do the same at yours. I understand messes happen, especially with furry friends, but I’m more than happy to clean up any dishes, laundry, basic cleanup etc. I’m currently focusing on petsitting, so unless my calendar says otherwise, I should be available when I’m needed. At this time I’m not doing overnight sitting, but will possibly offer that again in the future. I do not bring client’s pets to my own home, as I have reactive dogs. I will be more than happy to follow your routine and safety practices in your own home/out on walks!
