Dog Walking Heflin

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own large dog as well as pets belonging to neighbors, so I'm comfortable with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I'm a mix of energetic and calm, which helps me adapt to whatever a pet needs. Whether that's a fun, active walk or a slow relaxed pace. I’m a college student's home for the summer, which makes my schedule very flexible for your pet's care. I am available most days for walks, drop-ins, and cat visits. I want to make sure each pet is getting my full attention during each visit. The only set times I’m unavailable are Monday, Tuesdays and Thursdays mornings from 8:30am to 10:25am while I'm taking a summer course to help with my degree. Outside of that, I’m free to adjust to your pet’s routine and ensure they get the care and companionship they deserve. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always make safety my top priority. I follow your pet’s routine exactly as you describe it and make sure to double check doors, gates and harnesses before and after every visit to make sure your pet stays safe. I like to keep your home just as you left it, lights, locks, and routines are all respected. I’m also mindful of keeping things clean, especially around food and litter areas. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, relaxed and cared for while giving you peace of mind that both your home and your furry family member is in good hands.

“Laurie is a very important part of my beloved Frisbee. Her updates give me joy during my stressful days at work. We truly love her knowledge on how to ensure our pet is on the right path to a healthy balance.”

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and cared for my Bernese Mountain Dog, Stella, for nine years. Through daily walks, feeding, playtime, grooming, and making sure she was happy and healthy, I gained hands on experience caring for a large breed. I also have over two years of experience babysitting young children, which has strengthened my patience, responsibility, and ability to stay calm in different situations. Stella passed away about a year ago, and spending time with dogs again is something I truly look forward to. I’ll treat every pet with the same love, care, and attention that I gave my own. I’m currently very flexible with my schedule. I work part time but am also available throughout the week during afternoons. During the weekend I’m available anytime! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and make sure each walk is safe, enjoyable, and suited to your dog’s needs and energy level. I’ll provide fresh water when needed, give plenty of attention and affection, and treat every pet with the same love and care I gave my own dog.

About: I work well with dogs of all ages as I have owned many dogs in my life from French bulldogs to mastiffs. I would love to take care of your dog. I work full time with Stafford County Schools Transportation department with the hours of 6-9:30 and 1-5. I’m available middays and evenings to take care of your dog. I would love to stop by your house and take care of your fur baby whether it’s walking or just letting out to use the bathroom.

About: I will offer the love and attention your animal deserves! This family (me, my husband, and our two children, ages 17 and 13 all dog crazy and will be tending to your baby(ies) with love and care. We always treat our canine visitors like they are family. I have experience with a diabetic animal as well, and gave insulin shots for four and a half years to our Pug, Bill. I promise you will get photos and updates during your pet’s stay, and I will not compromise on keeping them safe and secure at all times. We only watch one dog from one family at once, but I will watch two to three dogs from the same family. I will bathe, nail trim, and brush any breed. I will walk them at least twice a day, for about a mile each time, if your dog can handle that physically. I always listen to your animals needs and will honor them. We have a family pet named Ted. He is a three year old Pug. He gets along well with every animal he has ever encountered. We would insist on a new boarding client coming over for a meet and greet first. I would be able to care for your pets in our home. We do not have a fenced yard. I typically will put pets on leashes for their potties and walks unless the owner tells me they are comfortable with them going out with me into the yard for a potty unleashed.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’m the proud mom of two lovable Old English Bulldogs and have been a dedicated foster mom for over six years. During that time, I’ve had the joy of caring for a wide range of breeds—from gentle giants like Great Danes and Mastiffs to spirited Dachshund mixes and resilient Pitties. I truly believe we don’t deserve animals—they are pure, loyal, compassionate souls who ask for so little and give so much. My mission is to be their safe place, their advocate, and a source of love and stability in their world. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle, or just some company, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own pack. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priority—and I can’t wait to meet your four-legged family member! I am available all day Mondays & Fridays as well as the weekends. Tuesday-Thursday I am not available during the day only in the evening/ Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, their comfort and safety always come first. At my home, I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time, and my own dogs are friendly, loving, and great with new furry friends. I create a calm, welcoming environment where every animal feels safe, loved, and part of the family. I believe in giving pets the same level of care and respect I give my own. That means lots of cuddles (if they want them!), a cozy space to relax, and plenty of patience and gentleness—especially if they’re shy or nervous. I'm attentive to each pet’s unique needs and routines, and I make sure they always have a peaceful, safe place to call their own while you're away.

About: I have been around animals for my whole life, taking care and experiencing with 4 litters of puppies and watching them grow. I have pet sit for the past 5 years and still do! I am open to pet sit any animal of any size and can do it at your house or mine! I am great with medication scheduling and certain or special feeding schedules. As of right now, I am available Monday through Sunday at any times! I will be having a part time job soon but will still be available for part time work! I always create a little plan before I sit any client's animal. I like to know how the animal is personality wise and if I need to be aware of any medications or certain needs. I also make my own plan with clients consent as in walks around the neighborhood and make sure I interact with the animal with play time and loving.
