Dog Walkers in Hatcher, VA

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and got my own dog when I was 14. Now there are 3 dogs at my house that I take care of during the day. I am attentive to the behavior of dogs and have a general understanding of it. I am currently a college student and attend classes during the day. I would be able to wall your dog in the early morning and the evening/night. I will go on walks, play games and give your dog plenty of attention. I usually let the pets decide what activities they are comfortable doing with me, especially when they are a new client. I like to get my steps in, so I will walk your dog as little or as much as possible!

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, starting with the many pets I grew up with. Over the years, I’ve gained experience house sitting and pet sitting for families and friends, ensuring their pets were happy and well cared for. While I still currently house sit for those with pets, I also work on a farm, where I handle a wide range of animals daily, further strengthening my skills and dedication to animal care! I’m a college student with a part-time job, and I excel at multitasking. Spending time with animals is not only enjoyable for me but also a great way to unwind. I’m available for regular walks, house sitting, and multiple daily check-ins, as well as overnight stays. With my short work shifts and a flexible class schedule, I can easily accommodate your pet care needs. Pets' safety is always my top priority when pet sitting. Ensuring a pet’s safety in their own home requires attentiveness and preparation. I carefully follow owner’s instructions, supervise the pet closely, and make sure the environment is free of hazards. I keep emergency contacts on hand, monitor the pet for signs of stress, and am prepared to act quickly if needed. I've also worked with many anxious pets in the past so I understand that they may need a little more care and closeness. With a focus on security and comfort, I provide consistent care while keeping owners updated for peace of mind.

About: I have had cats all my life. I am a cat whisperer. Have had dogs also and am good with them. Am good also with training. I am currently retired and working on my house so have time to care for your loved ones. I have had dogs, mostly terriers, and like them, and they like me, but am primarily a cat person. I know how to give medications etc. My yard is not fenced so I would walk dogs always on a leash or go to a dog park. Well trained dogs would have rooms in my home available. Otherwise crates.

About: I have been a dog lover all of my life and know how important their care is. Dogs are just part of the family! I love getting to know each dogs personality and figure go above and beyond to consider the needs of a variety of pups. I have a flexible schedule allowing me to provide constant care for your pup. I am interested in meeting and caring for all types of dogs, big/small, puppy or seniors! I can be as flexible as possible and will be honest about your pup’s care. I will treat your fur-babes like part of the family. We have a fenced in yard and If your pup is more comfortable as part of the pack, they are invited in to have the run of the house with our family dogs. We love dogs and will try to accommodate any special requests. Available to check in on your pups every 4 hours (m-f) and spend weekends all day with your dogs! I can check in with your pups every 3-4 hours during the day and be there to stay after 4 pm. I prioritize feeding and potty schedules to make sure there are little to no changes in their routines. I care for your pets like they are my own. Figuring out they’re behaviors and personalities is important to me. Some dogs need lots of love and attention and others like their space, either way they’ll be in great hands.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I can administer medication along with basic grooming services like brushing. I can work with puppies and senior dogs along with dogs of all sizes. I can also work with any other animals that might be in your home like rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, etc. I am a full time college student studying Biology and Criminology. Due to this, I can take care of your pup or cat around those hours. I pride myself on time management and will be able to make my schedule fit your needs and my needs. I can care for your pet in any way that will make them feel more comfortable while you are away. I worked at a Dog Hotel for a little over a year so I have experience in dealing with nervous pups. I am comfortable with crating your pup if needed or if you have specific needs I can meet those too. You spend the most time with your furry friends and know the most about them so just tell me what makes them happy. I strive to just be an extension of you.

About: I’ve loved dogs for 12 years, including my own senior pup. Every dog in my care is treated like family—with patience, love, and plenty of snuggles. I work full time but a very lenient schedule allowing me to care for your pups early morning before 7am and anytime after 6pm. I’m also readily available on weekends. I have a 10 acre lot with a large section fenced in for safe yard play. Also, love long walks around our big yard. A large house with plenty of space for the zoomies.

About: I've worked for 2 reputable dog walking companies circa 2007. When I became pregnant I took some time off. In 2008 I started Aimee's Pet Sitting service in Chesterfield and the surrounding areas. 6 years ago we moved to Cumberland and I started dog boarding. I love dogs! Many of my customers come from Chesterfield to board with me still. I have amazing references! *UPDATE JANUARY 2024* I'm trying something new this year and focusing more on dog walking, and overnight stays/house sitting instead of dog boarding!

I have reliable transportation and eager to come care for your pets!l!! There are many options for dog walking, whether it be in your neighborhood, yard or adventure trips to local parks.

If you are looking for overnight in your home visits, I'm able to take care of all pets in your home, not just the dog! Cats, reptils, birds etc are all loved by me! We can discuss some light cleaning, watering plants, bring mail in and such as well.

About: Hi, I’m Sydney! I grew up on a farm, so animals have been part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. I’m confident with everything from barn cats to reactive dogs, and I’m no stranger to giving meds—pills, topicals, even injections. Whether your pet needs a calm walk, some playtime, or just a little company while you’re away, I’ve got it covered. My flexible schedule means your pet gets reliable care and plenty of attention—because they deserve nothing less! Pet care fits perfectly into my current lifestyle because I have an open and flexible schedule. That means I can focus on giving your pet the attention they deserve—whether it’s a midday walk, an early morning visit, or a last-minute check-in. I’m not juggling a 9–5, so your pet gets a sitter who’s reliable, available, and fully present. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to stick closely to their normal routine—because pets feel safest when things feel familiar. Whether it’s refreshing food and water, going for a walk, playtime, or just offering some company and belly rubs, I’m all about making your pet feel comfortable and cared for. I’m respectful of your space, leave things how I found them, and always send updates so you know how your furry friend is doing while you’re away.

About: I have experience caring for a wide range of breeds and pride myself on being adaptable to meet the unique needs of your beloved companion. My own dog’s journey with arthritis has given me valuable hands-on experience in administering medications and providing attentive care, including basic first aid. Additionally, as a certified Nationally Registered Emergency Medical Technician (NREMT), I bring an added layer of confidence and expertise in handling your pet's health and well-being. I’m an early riser, so getting up early and starting the day with my dog, Kona is the perfect start. I WFH so I can take her out as often as she needs, your fur baby can too! We live on 10 acres of land. If you have an active baby, I love getting out for walks, hikes, and if they are behaved enough, I love throwing a stick or ball! More outside time the better! When I’m caring for your best friend (s), I will send lots of pictures and videos if you want! You can never take too many!

About: I currently have a 12 year old chihuahua that I’ve had since 9th grade. Growing up my mother would take in rescues and find them homes if they did not get along with my chihuahua.
