Dog Walking Goode

“Abigail is wonderful! This was my first time with Rover, and she made it easy. She came over for a meet and greet, sent me updates, and took great care of my crazy babies.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and truly can’t imagine my life without them! 🐶 I currently have two dogs who had to stay with my father in Ukraine because of the situation there and I miss them very much. Spending time with dogs here helps me feel calm and happy — for me, this is more about companionship and love than money. Because of that, I prefer to care for one dog at a time and give them my full attention. I’m attentive, gentle, and very mindful of dogs’ emotions and comfort. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just quiet company, I make sure your dog feels safe and loved 💛 I’m currently working part-time, which gives me flexibility and plenty of time to focus on pet care. I’m easily adjusting my day to a dog’s routine and needs. I’m available on weekdays and weekends. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, keep a calm and clean environment, and avoid overcrowding. I prefer a peaceful setting where your dog feels secure, relaxed, and truly cared for at all times.

About: I have always been an animal lover, and my job has shown me how to specially care for each and every special baby. Two years in veterinary medicine gave me the experience to confidently handle medications, diabetic care, and reactive pets. I adore even your misunderstood animals and would love to send lots of photos, videos, and updates on your pets if allowed! I currently work at a Pet Wellness Center, but my schedule is very flexible. My shifts are arranged to give me plenty of time to care for both my own pets and yours. In most cases, I can take time off if needed. I also finish work by 7 pm at the latest, so evenings are completely free if that’s what works best for you. When boarding pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where each animal feels at ease. I give plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles, and follow any specific routines or instructions from their owners. I also make sure they get proper meals, medication if needed, and regular bathroom breaks. I live in a very rural, quiet part of Bedford in the middle of the woods, so along with a large yard, we have many trails, with plenty of space to run or go on leashed walks! I love sending updates with photos or videos so you can see your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Arabella was fantastic with my fur babies. Super reliable, communicated well, and really appreciated how affectionate she was to all of my fur babies. Definitely recommend.”

About: I have always loved being around animals, I started walking dogs when I was 11 around my neighborhood and I have been pet sitting since I was 14 so I’ve had a lot of experience pet sitting/walking dogs! I currently walk dogs Monday through Friday but I am always looking for more🙌🏻 I do online college so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I would be happy to help anytime, I only need a little heads up!🫶🏻 I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, walks, or playtime—to keep them happy and relaxed. I treat every pet and home with respect, keeping everything clean and secure. I also love sending picture updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands while you’re away! 😊

About: I grew up in a home that had many different kinds of pets- from pups to kitties, to rabbits & guineas! I love being able to give them the love that I would give my own. I have a golden girl of my own now that is my best friend, and I hope to share that love to your fur babies. I am currently working part-time only, so I have the ability to care for your babies around that schedule and what works best for you! My golden girl can be kept in her own space at home, so that I am able to provide a safe space for yours, if needed. She is free to roam when I am home, and is also very comfortable around other animals.

“Mia is reliable and communicative. She paid attention to all my requests and took great care of Frankie!”

About: As someone who was raised on a fully functioning farm, animal husbandry has been a part of my daily routine since I could walk! I have experience with almost every domestic animal under the sun, but dogs and cats have always been very personal to me. I worked at doggie daycares/boarding facilities for 3 years, and am an assistant at a competitive showing kennel. I attended CATCH canine trainers academy as well. I would love to extend my love for pets to you and your fur family by caring for them as I would my own. I work part time at a private kennel, but have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. Caring for dogs has been my full time job for 4 years! Working with dogs as much as I have, I feel like I have seen it all! I care deeply about the health, safety, and mental well-being of your dog, and will do my best to give them an amazing time while you are away.

About: I don’t just care for your pets, I strive to make them see me as part of the family! Also love to clean, so you know you will return to your house with it being just as clean as you left it. Ample training with young pups as well as caring for older animals. I work a job where I make my own hours, so I can fit whatever requirements into my schedule. No need to worry about long stretches without your loved one being checked on! Multiple walks are given each day (depending on their needs), with the option to run with them if they are high-energy dogs. All for the cuddles and playing inside for those that need either or both instead!

About: I’ve been caring for pets for years and have experience with dogs of all ages sizes and personalities. I own an 11 year-old dog that I helped raise and train, giving me a hands-on experience with daily care, exercise, and senior dog needs. I started caring for pets while babysitting and eventually began dog sitting for families in my community. I’ve provided overnight care drop in visits, feeding, walking, potty breaks, bathing, and plenty of love and attention. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and we’ll treat your pet like one of my own! Pet care is a regular part of my daily life and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. Whether it’s daily walks or drop-in visits, I enjoy building pet care into my routine and making sure each pet receives the care, exercise, and companionship they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow the instructions regarding feeding, walks, potty breaks, exercise, medications (if needed) and any other specific care requirements. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention and playtime while their owners are away, my goal is to provide reliable care and give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy and well cared for.

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. As a pet owner myself, I understand that our pets are family members, not just animals. My personal dogs receive the same love, attention, and care that I would want for any pet entrusted to me. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have more than 15 years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats, including owning and operating a nonprofit animal rescue for five years. Through my rescue work, I cared for hundreds of dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, special-needs pets, and dogs recovering from illness or surgery. I am experienced with administering medications, monitoring health concerns, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention or veterinary care. I know that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I will care for them as if they were my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Because I spend a significant amount of time at home, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and potty breaks throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining routines and will work with you to ensure your pet’s schedule, feeding times, medications, and preferences are followed closely. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I can provide the level of care and attention they need. Safety is always my top priority. My experience running an animal rescue taught me how to properly introduce dogs, recognize signs of stress, manage different personalities, and provide a safe environment for pets with varying needs. I have a securely fenced yard and closely supervise outdoor time. I can also accommodate medications, special feeding instructions, crate training, and senior pet care.

About: Hi! I’m Katie. I’m 35 and have lived in the Lynchburg area for the past 14 years. I’ve lived with and loved animals my whole life. Im a natural with animals and do not get intimated with large animals. I own my own home and I adopted Patty in November of 2020. My life has never been the same. I can pet, walk, exercise, play, feed, brush, water, and love your fur baby! I’m patient and caring and will keep your pet feeling safe, exercised, and loved. Trust in me to keep your pet(s) safe. They’ll be happy. You’ll be happy. I’ll be happy. Hope to hear from you soon! I do work 40 hours a week but am able to come home at lunch. I am home most nights, so ideally I would be a great home if you need your pet to have a sleepover somewhere. I have a fenced in backyard. All dogs are on leashes when we go for walks. My dog sleeps in her crate, but does roam the house during the day. She is so gentle and calm. She has all her shots and a very kind demeanor.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was in preschool. My family has always had lots of pets throughout the house all through my childhood! I have lots of experience in giving baths, medicine, lots of cuddles and care! I will be sending plenty of pictures so you can see what your pet is up to at all times! I am currently working for myself while also working from home. This gives me all the time in the world to be just as attentive as you would be to your fur baby! I currently live in a nice neighborhood with plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks and open space for walks/jogs. My house is large enough to keep small dogs and larger dogs separated to ensure there are no accidents.

About: I have 1 of my own dogs who lives with me. But I also have experience with a total of 4 dogs as my parents have 3. All are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I am comfortable with all medium and small size dogs. I do request that they are house trained. I like to take dogs on walks but if they are smaller it is okay if they are not perfect at walking on a leash. I can even help work with them on that. I currently work a normal day job during the week. But I work remote, that means that the dogs would not be alone at all during the day. They would have someone to care for them, take them out and feed them if necessary. Every day it is not raining, I do go on a 1 mile walk with my dog on my lunch so that they get good exercise. HOUSE SITTING: I can work remote from your house providing care all day. However, my dog Charlie would also have to come with me. If this is something that you do not feel comfortable with, I can offer drop in help instead. I have 1 of my own dogs (Charlie) who lives with me full time. My apartment is fully equipped for a dog to be here safely. I have a balcony where the dogs can spend time enjoying the fresh air. My dog gets along with all other dogs and is very friendly as he used to go to daycare with many other dogs. I have the ability to walk the dogs, get them fresh air and exercise. I also have dog toys and bones available for them to use. Dogs are allowed in all areas of my place. Including the couch, dog beds and human beds. Allowing them to be where they feel the most comfortable.
