Dog Walkers in Goodview, VA

About: I have been in the pet industry for 15+ years including veterinary, retail and boarding. I also did house and pet sitting for a good friend of mine many times. I have worked in the petcare industry for more that 15 years. Most of it as a retail manager. I've done veterinary and boarding jobs also. I'm ready to basically become my own boss and do what I really love. I am still a part-time retail worker and full-time homemaker but would love to include your pets in my everyday activities! I have fur babies and scale babies of my own. This includes 1 dog, 3 cats, 2 tree frogs, 2 leopard geckos, 1 hamster and multiple fish. They are not only my hobby but part of my family. My dog and cats are allowed on furniture so they can cuddle with us.

“Jessica was my lifesaver!!!! I injured my knee and was suddenly unable to walk my dog. She was available on short notice and responded quickly. I was in such a panic but she reassured me that she would take great care of my baby! She was flexible, patient, and kind. I had the worst day and I was being so spastic and crazy and she was sooo sweet to me. I am thankful to have found her . My dog absolutely loved her! She took notes about specific things concerning his care, and she followed all instructions given and had a successful walk with him! She took him to the park, his favorite place :) I am so thankful that Jessica has experience with large breeds and was able to handle my 70 lb dog. She sent me updates and pictures which helped my bad day get soo much better and put my mind at ease seeing my dog so happy and in great hands! She is reliable, responsible, and trustworthy. I would highly recommend Jessica and will definitely have her continue walking my dog until my leg heals (and after that too!) Thank you Jessica- you are the absolute best !!!”

About: I've had experience taking care of dogs since I was the age of 10 years old. I have done this for family and friends for many years and even assist with grooming needs. I also have experience with giving medications to pets as I have worked as a veterinary assistant in the past. I am currently working at an elementary school but going to school to allow me to have a work from home job. Until then I am more free in the afternoon and evening but I am able to free up some time in the morning to help out. During the summer I do summer camp, working the afternoon/evening shift; however, I am able to adjust my schedule as needed. I have a fenced in yard here at my house so my dogs have free range of the back yard, however when we did not have one we had them out at least every hour. Our dogs get feed twice a day, morning and night, but I can switch however to fit your pet best! During my free time my boyfriend and I like to take our dog, Rico, to go hiking and swimming. We would love to be able to bring him a friend!

“A few times a month I have to work a long shift at work. I was so grateful to know my dogs were in good hands when Stacy took care of them during one of these shifts. Thank you!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I can remember, there has never been a time I have not had a dog. I currently pet sit for my coworkers and family regularly. I love dogs of all sizes! I know how to care for dogs of all ages, from puppy to senior. Hello! I’m a full-time CNA and I’m looking to offer part-time pet care services Monday-Thursday. If you need someone reliable to look after your fur babies, I’d be happy to assist with any care your pets need, from feeding and walking to just providing companionship. Let’s chat about how I can help take care of your pets while you’re away! Caring for pets, whether they’re my own or someone else’s takes attention, routine, and understanding of each animal’s unique personality. Pets like people like consistency. I ensure I understand their regular feeding times, exercise habits. Understanding each animals play habits helps keep them entertained and happy. Documenting medical concerns and medication needed to ensure properly given, and monitor for any signs of illness. Pets, especially those away from their owners, can experience anxiety, some more than others! I engage with them to provide companionship such as playtime & cuddles! I keep an eye on body language and behavior to ensure they are comfortable. I keep open communication, providing updates and reporting any concerns. Trust is vital, and being responsive to a client’s pet care preferences or concerns is important. Ensure I have vet and contact information in the event of an emergency.
