Dog Walkers in Grottoes, VA

“Catherine has been taking our large pup on walks a few days per week and it’s been such tail wagging fun! Thanks for the adventures and care, Catherine!”

“Morgan has been my go-to sitter for the past 6 years. The fact that I can trust Morgan with my two small dogs, even in their old age, has been such a blessing. 10/10!”

“We absolutely love Lourdes! She cares for our cat Bullet when we are out of town or are both working. She goes above and beyond to put our minds at ease when we have to be away. She makes sure he feels loved and right at home with her two pugs (Bullets adopted brothers). If you are looking for pet care in the Mcgaheysville/Massanutten area she’s the person you want!”

About: I have decades of animal care experience, working with cats, dogs, and multiple other species. I currently own and operate a rabbitry. I have worked at multiple dog kennels, including free run facilities, and have worked at the SPCA and the Virginia zoo in Norfolk, Virginia. Let me know what your needs are, and we will see if I can accommodate your needs, as my schedule is very open and flexible. My pet care is very custom tailored to your needs and your pet’s needs, let me know what you need and what your pet prefers. I have 4 dogs that stay exclusively in the back part of the home and have access to the backyard. Doggies I am sitting stay exclusively in the front part of the home and have access to the front yard, so there is non interaction between my dogs. My dogs are friendly with other dogs but this arrangement just makes it easier and more comfortable for yours = )

“Jesse has really helped us out with Lucy, and has been able to handle her perfectly. Love his attention to any potential concerns and relay information about her walks. He has also been accommodating when we’ve needed short-notice visits.”

“Abby has been taking care of my dogs for the past few years when I go away and they always get so excited to see her! She leaves the house better than it was before and treats my dogs like her own. I’d reccomend her to anyone!”

“Mairany takes great care of Mia. She loves Mia and Mia loves her. She does an amazing job grooming her and keeping her fur trimmed just the way I like it.”

About: I am a social worker by trade, and currently I am professor at two local colleges. I also write books and and do photography. I specialize in social psychology and I am intuitive to human and animal needs. As mentioned, I am an adjunct professor, write, and do photography. As such I have free time to care for your pet daily and at various times. I have always cared for my pets like family (and some may argue a little better, lol). I have a SUV and know different locations to walk your pet, or I can walk them locally. I also love cats and can spend time in your home playing with with them and the infamous red dot or other toys. I am also familiar with all types of animals and can care for your farm animals and other in door animals.

“Very professional help who’s always available and attentive to blue!”

“Full disclosure: Abby is my daughter. Abby is a pure animal lover, and is extremely conscientious about animal care. She has her own bunny in her room that she has had for over 5 years, and for several years had two bunnies (one passed from old age). She's also had a guinea pig and we have two dogs, a miniature poodle (17 lbs) and a labradoodle (60 lbs). She is fully trustworthy with the care of your pets and will ensure they're safe and loved in her care.”

“Mikayla was very attentive and kept us posted on her walk today. We appreciate her customer service and kindness w our pugs.Thank you”

“I highly recommend Alyssa as a pet sitter/dog walker. Alyssa loves animals. She is hard working, responsible, caring, kind,dedicated and reliable. She we will treat your pets as if they were her own. Pet sitting and dog walking has been her job while she is home from college. Also willing to take a job on short notice.”

“Chief loves his visits from Michaela. He is always happy and well cared for. Most important, Michaela is conscientious and alerted us to a limp she noticed. We had noticed it as well but failed to let her know. She quickly realized something was different with our boy. We are very grateful to have found her to care for our boy when we have to be away. It is such a relief to have a trusted caregiver. I think he may actually like it when we go away.”

“Lydia did a great job walking Zorro. Zorro came back from his walk feeling happy and tired!”

“Jason is wonderful, he has watched our fur baby and home on a couple occasions one of which was almost a full month. Our kitty had some special needs including a special diet and some additional medical processes that need to happen regularly. In each case we came home to a healthy (as can be) cat that was more interested in attention from Jason than us. The house was better than we left it. I am very comfortable recommending Jason for any pet care situation. His diligence and obvious love of animals coupled with the experience make him a wonderful choice.”

“Colin is extremely conscientious and good at following instructions to the letter. You can trust Colin with the care of your pets--I certainly trust him with ours!”

“On time and very polite!”

About: I have always been one to tend to other’s animals even when they are home, you can catch me on the floor greeting the animals before the humans. I have professionally been an animal caregiver for daytime & overnight jobs, when doing so I always plan my time & task around the animals. I enjoy making the animals families informed that they are well taking care by taking pictures & give notes about their behaviors & activities throughout my time with them. I have a very flexible schedule & I have a small dog of my own so taking care of an animal is already a part of my daily life & routine so adding more sweet animals is an added bonus. I always tend to each animals individually needs & wants. I also strive to keep normalcy in our time together with some extra added fun time.

About: I have always had dogs growing up & love every one I meet! Would love to keep your fur babies safe & entertained while you’re away! I work different shifts each week! Anywhere from 4-12 hours but our home is never empty! Our two dogs, kitty & either my other half/myself are around :) I live in an old farmhouse with my family. We have a large fenced in back yard as well! Baby pool is filled on the hot summer days :)
