Dog Walkers in Goodview, VA

About: I have been a pet owner my entire life. I now own 2 cats and hermit crab (thanks to my son!). I have - tabby and a Persian. I have experience with a variety of felines. I also have experience with pets who may need medication. I have previously cared for a diabetic cat. I have a pretty flexible and accommodating schedule. I am available for potty walks throughout the day and multiple feedings/check ins as they are needed. Due to rental restrictions I am unable to keep pets in my home, but am happy to visit your pet in their comfortable safe space.

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 a full-time homemaker but would love to include your pets in my everyday activities! ***Please be aware that sometimes I will accept multiple jobs at once*** 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.

About: I'm an active volunteer with a local animal shelter, where I work hands-on with dogs of many ages, sizes, temperaments, I have experience caring for shy, anxious, high-energy, and sensitive dogs, and I'm comfortable with reading canine body language, building trust, and providing calm, reliable care tailored to each dog's needs. Pet care is part of my regular routine through weekend availability when I'm off work. I plan my schedule around providing attentive, consistent care, including walks, feeding, enrichment and companionship, so each dog receives focused, unhurried attention. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and preferred activities. I take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious pets, by moving at their pace and reading their body language. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and calm, attentive interaction, whether that means exercise and playtime or quiet companionship. In a client's home, I respect their space and ensure pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.
