Dog Walkers in Gore, VA

“We’ve hired Kim a few times to feed and walk our dog. She is very reliable and friendly and takes great care of our dog. The Winchester community is lucky to have someone like Kim to look after our pets :)”

About: I absolutely love animals and would consider it an honor to care for your furry family members when the need arises. I worked as a part-time pet and house sitter for 3 plus years in Northern Virginia and only stopped when I moved to Stephens City. I am looking forward starting up again to earn a little extra income. I am experienced in house sitting as well. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

“Very reliable and flexible scheduling! Responds quickly too.”

“The daily reports and photos are very much appreciated and very reassuring that all is well with my two pups. Melissa leaves a thorough report and makes sure that the dogs have exercise and are well looked after. I am very happy with the service she provides.”

About: Hi there, My name is Melissa and I work from home which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. l am a very active person who absolutely loves all sorts of fur babies, especially dogs and cats. I enjoy having the ability to interact with them on a daily basis. I currently have one fur baby of my own, Roxy (13 yo Jack Russell), but I have been around all types of animals since I was little, and I can't imagine my life without them. I would love to include more animals in my life by helping you take care of yours from drop-in visits, dog walking and more! I believe in positive reinforcement training versus negative reinforcement, which supports an animal’s overall well being. My goal is to make sure that your dog is fully sated from our walk so that when you get home you have a relaxed doggie! Having had more than one dog of my own in the past I am experienced in walking multiple dogs at a time, so if you have 2 or more dogs that need daily walks I am up for it! Also, if your pet just needs a cuddle and some caring for during the day I am happy to drop in visit on them and spend some time with them! I hope you’ll consider me for your pet care needs. I promise to treat your fur baby as if it were my own! Looking forward to working with you and your fur babies. I am have a very flexible schedule for dog walking and pet drop-in visits. Morning, afternoon or night time, I would be happy to take care of your pets! I will treat your fur baby as if they were my own pet with respect and gentle care. I also will respect your household and leave it in the condition it was in when I arrived.

“Ian took very good care of our dog psi”

About: Having pets all growing up, not only has allowed me to understand the importance of being responsible for animals but the magical bond that comes with it. Now as an adult having two dogs of my own, my love of caring for animals has led me to expand those opportunities. I have been caring for animals of friends and family for the past 3 years in dog sitting/care, dog walking, and house sitting. Pet care has become a passion I love doing from dog walking, sitting, exercising, pet-friendly activities, etc. I can't wait to meet your pup! I work part-time as a before and after-school care provider for Parks and Rec. Luckily, this allows me a broad time frame of free hours throughout the day. Tuesday-Friday: 10 am-3 pm and Saturday-Sunday: 10 am-7 pm I am available to spend time with your pup! I live around a lot of parks, trails, and hiking spots so our dogs are always on an adventure. Any free time I get, chances, are I am outside spending it with my dogs. I have two dogs of my own, a beagle and a golden doodle which are both boys. They are the sweetest, most friendly, and most playful pups! I live on 4 acres of land with a dividing fence. I would describe it as a pretty rural setting with lots of lands and up off the road. Plenty of room for them to run around inside and outside of the house with a lead attachment out back in case running away is an issue. It is important to provide the space and comfort your pups needs!

“Our doodle and 2 kitties love Kyla! One of these kitties is very shy with people. When Kyla comes over though he comes out to look for her! Kyla is a natural with our pets and we feel lucky we found her.”

“Kaia is Amazing. I have known her for around 9yrs. She has watched my dogs on several ocasions. She is kind and loving , and plays with my dogs. She is very responsible, always on time, and has never cancelled. Kaia goes above and beyond. I can not think of anyone I would trust more with my fur babies.”

“Very happy with our dog walking service from Amanda. She was reliable and responsive at all times. She stays in communication with you, giving you peace of mind. We look forward to booking her again!”

“McKenna and Tesla got along very well. McKenna adjusted her schedule to accommodate rain or any other issues to help tire out the old pup. Tesla was well taken care of. Thanks McKenna.”

“Kat is fabulous with my pups. She is patient with my senior dog, and energetic with my high energy puppy. She communicates well, and is dependable. I highly recommend her!”

“Deidra is an exceptional dog sitter who I wholeheartedly trust with the care of any of my dogs. Her genuine love and care for animals is evident in every interaction she has with them. Deidra goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of the dogs under her care. She is attentive, patient, and knowledgeable, making her an ideal choice for any dog owner. I have witnessed firsthand the positive impact Deidra has on dogs. She’s has years of experience with dogs of any size and even those who need someone with knowledge of reactive dogs. She uses techniques that not only teach dogs new skills but also strengthen the bond between them and their owners. Deidra's dedication and expertise make her an invaluable asset in the world of dog care. I would trust her with my own dogs , because of that, I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a caring dog sitter.”

About: Well first of all, I’m a retired Corrections Officer of 25 yrs. I’ve always had a love for animals and their well being. And wanted to work with animals of all kinds.( Especially dogs). I am retired from corrections and have a lot of time on my hands. I would love to spend this free time working with animals. I have two dogs of my own and have always owned dogs and cats. I care for them with love and affection. While tending to their personal needs.

“Carter was wonderful with Lily. He was quickly available and responsive. He took her out and gave an update of her activities. Very polite and responsible.”

“Very dedicated and loving animal lover that wants to spoil and treat all your fur babies to an experience that they will want Alex back again. I have had Alex watch dogs, cats, birds and lizards. He loves them all and is very conscientious about their care, medications, special needs and overall happiness. Nothing is too large or small to do for your member of the family. His work is reliable, his transportation is safe and his attention to detailed instructions is excellent. He will walk, feed, clean up, pet sit, stay during day or overnight or even extended periods of time if that is what your babies need. He can take them home with him for a visit and he will transport your pet to the doctors or other places if you need help getting them there. Call him for whatever you need and he can help make it work. Works in the Shenandoah/Warren/Frederick counties and the City of Front Royal, Winchester and Martinsburg.”
