Dog Walkers in Hanover, VA

About: I have experience with many sizes, ages, temperaments, and breeds of dogs. I have fostered military emo-support dogs while their trainers have been deployed, and have experience working for a dog boarding company and twenty years of experience with my own dogs. Our line up is Mochi - Great Pyrenees, Pawnee - Pitsky, and Remy - Border Collie mix. We also have chickens and cats on the property. I have a flexible schedule that allows for pet care in my weekly routine. I also have flexibility that can match unpredictable changes in your day or schedule. I can work with each pet to meet their visit needs to allow their day to be as enjoyable as possible while you are away.

“Emily was great, very quick to respond to messages and even sent us a picture of our pup when she was walking. We will definitely be using her again for any of our dog walking needs.”

About: Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’ve been caring for dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up around pets gave me a natural love for animals, and over the years I’ve helped care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with walking, feeding, playtime, administering medications, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I give every animal. I treat every pet like family and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether that means long walks, playing fetch, or simply keeping them company in their home. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule while I wait to begin my career as an Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant in late August. Because of this, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. My flexible availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and last-minute scheduling needs whenever possible. I love staying active, so spending time outdoors walking and caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy during this transition period before starting work. Providing a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for pets is my top priority. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I always strive to create a calm, dependable, and comfortable experience for both pets and owners. I live in a pet-friendly environment with plenty of safe areas for walks and outdoor time, and I carefully follow each owner’s home instructions regarding routines, medications, feeding schedules, and special needs. I’m attentive, responsible, and communicative, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐾

“Sierra walks our dog, Shockoe, 1-3 times a week and we absolutely love her! Sierra is a great communicator and has always been flexible as our days/times change weekly. She is great at listening to Shockoes wants for the day, whether that is taking a casual stroll, a big walk, or just needing some extra pets before walking. She goes above and beyond with pictures of each walk and making sure Shockoe has a water refill before leaving each day. Shockoe LOVES Sierra - they have created such a bond. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!!”

About: I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I love all breeds. I enjoy getting dogs to play and do tricks for treats. My family and I enjoy making your pet family. Sleeping cuddling and lots of attention is what they get while here. Most dogs don't want to leave when they come. I have several repeat dogs and they get out of the car and run to the house. Where they have an abundance of toys bones and beds to relax on. I believe the dog should be on your schedule so I do my best with that. Huge yard provides safe exercise time. Sunbathing an added bonus. I will even bathe your pup upon request. So don't stress and let me take care of the rest. I currently do this part time. Around working as a waitress part time. I'm available every 4 to 6 hours for pet care. I love this job. I have crates and plenty of space to separate if needed. I have filtered water. Treats of all types. I have toys for an aggressive chewer to a softy.

About: I’ve had animals growing up ever since I was little. I’ve grown up with 4 dogs in the household and currently have my own. I absolutely adore all animals and would love to take care of your beloved animal I work and go to school daily but during the summer, I can definitely be more free. I always take breaks to walk the dogs around the neighborhood. I always be adequate to feed them and give them water throughout the day at their assigned eating times! If the dog is crate, trained to sleep in the crate at night, they’re welcome to sleep in the crate or if the owner wants, they can sleep in the bed with me. I do not mind.

About: Hi! I'm Christynn, and I'm 19! I’ve worked with animals for years, starting at a boarding facility when I was 16, where I learned daily care, handling, and health monitoring. I also completed a two‑year animal science program in high school that earned me my Veterinary Assistant Certification. Now I’m studying Animal Science at Virginia Tech, continuing to build both hands‑on and academic experience with animal care and welfare. Now that I’m home for the summer, I have plenty of time to take care of your pups! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and the only day with limited hours is Sunday, I’m free after 1pm. I’m excited to spend my summer giving your pets lots of attention, walks, and love. I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. In your home, I follow your routines closely, feeding schedules, walk times, crate use, and any house rules you already have in place. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision so they feel secure while you’re away. I also keep an eye on behavior, eating, and overall well‑being, and I’ll always update you so you know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make your pet feel relaxed and cared for, and to give you total peace of mind while you’re gone.

“Wesley was fantastic with our pups! Working 12hr shifts it can be challenging to find someone to check on and walk my two mini poodles, so I am very thankful Wesley was able to make time for them! Wesley also took the time amidst a busy schedule to meet the fur family which really helped😊🫶🙌”

About: I’ve had over 15 years of experience taking care of dogs, and I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes. I love giving pets and snuggles, receiving kisses, and taking them out to the park and walks. I currently work 4 days a week, so I am available to board and dog sit, do drop ins, administer meds, dog walks, etc. I am flexible with my work schedule. I have a tri level townhome with plenty of space and a very large fenced in park 10 steps in front of my home. I have two doodles (both spayed and neutered) who are friendly…but if your pet prefers to be alone, I have plenty of space to separate and I have gates as well. Your rules are my rules. If you crate, I will crate. If you dont allow your pet on furniture, same goes for me. Etc. Your baby will be safe and loved with me and my family! I have a 11 and 13 yo who will also love on and play with your dog too :)

“Krystal was great to work with. Very prompt and great with the dogs.”

I’m attentive to their behavior and comfort and I always make sure water bowls are fresh, litter boxes are clean, and that they get plenty of love and exercise. I also treat your home with respect, leaving things neat and tidy so you can return worry free. I take pride in making everything go smoothly and stress free.

About: I have 3 dogs and 2 cats and love spending time with them on walks and cuddles!

About: As someone who has a large high energy dog. I have a lot of experience dealing with many different types of dogs. I am able to handle and give all dogs of all different sizes the attention they need. I asked someone who has pet sit for the past six years. I have a lot of experience raging from working with Chihuahuas to labs and huskies. I also trained my own husky basic tricks. I love dogs and find that dogs love me back! I also have worked with a range of ages from senior dogs to puppies! When I am home from college, I have a lot of free time and am able to take care of pets more often, depending on the animals needs! I do not work during the school year, other than some small pet sitting and babysitting, leading me to have a lot of availability! I am able to walk the dog as long as needed as my dog goes for two three mile walk a day! I am able to play and hang out with the pets as well! Potty breaks and litter box changes will happen often!!
