“Devinder was absolutely amazing with my dog Slider! He was prompt when responding to my messages, and gave me complete reports with each dog walk. I felt comfortable with him entering my apartment, and will continue to use Devinder whenever I need my dog walked.”


“Riley was fantastic! We are new at this (first family dog) as we have a puppy and Riley was a huge help to jump in at the last minute. She was kind enough to fit us in her already tightly booked schedule as we were in a huge bind! She updated throughout the day with pictures and videos. Thanks Riley!! We will definitely contact her again!”


“Kade took care of our pup and new kitten when we were in a pinch for a sitter. They took the time out of their schedule for a meet and greet and had no problem following our care instructions. Our pup and kitten took to them immediately and we felt so reassured they were safe under Kade’s care! Thank you so much Kade for your help, and we would absolutely recommend booking Kade for any of your sitting needs!”


“kathleen did a great job with my pups while i was out of town. i will absolutely be booking with her again! i have three aussies - high energy and highly velcro. she spent a few weeks doing drop ins leading up to this trip to build trust with them. during my time away, she followed my instructions to a tee, sent long updates (which i loved), and lots of pictures! as a dog mom, i can read their expressions and they looked so happy in all their pics and that made me feel so relaxed while i was away.”


About: Hello there! My name is Sammy and I have been around animals all of my life and they have inspired me in so many different ways. I have been managing doggy daycare/boarding facilities for a little over 3 years now so I guess you can say pet care is my specialty! I am dog and cat CPR certified, certified through the DHA (dog handler academy),I know how to give injections, and my knowledge on dog behavior is quite extensive. I have decided to go back to school as well which is why my schedule is so open. Currently I own a 2 year old Golden Retriever as well as the cutest cat ever that are both my world. I hope you decide to let me into your pets heart as I treat every pet like my own. ~Wags & Wiggles, Sammy🐾 I am going back to school which means I have a very open schedule. I am also pretty flexible with times and last minute bookings. When it comes to a clients home,I always like for us to meet before I start my services so everyone feels more comfortable. I will also provide pictures for my clients of your fur baby & I having a good time!

“Katherine has been walking my dog almost every day for the past 2 months now, and I must say she is very professional, reliable, and consistent. She takes great care of my pups and always gives me updates on how he’s doing. 10/10 recommend!”


“Kate made our first Rover experience amazing. Our dog was well taken care of with a great walk and feeding. The pics we got were super thoughtful and it was really comforting to see our pup so happy while we were gone. Highly recommend her and will be rebooking when needed! Thanks so much Kate!”


“I cannot recommend Sierra highly enough! My dog, Mickey, ran down the hall to meet her on her second visit. He’s never done that. She obviously had Mickey’s seal of approval immediately. Sierra is conscientious, very communicative, and extremely kind. She has my complete trust and respect, because she treats Mickey as if he were her own. To me that is the absolute best quality in a dog walker! Choosing Sierra as your dog walker is the absolute correct decision! Having Sierra walk your dog will keep you worry free and happy while your pup gets good exercise, has fun and is treated like family 😃”


“Merlin loves when Candace comes over and he continues to do well with her! Today he finally allowed her to walk him. They didn’t venture too far, to keep him comfortable. I’m hopeful Merlin will continue to improve!”

“Kayley is wonderful! I am so happy to have her walk my dog Bilbo during the day, especially during the winter months. He liked her instantly and was very happy to walk with her. I highly recommend her!”


About: I love absolutely love dogs! I work from home as a Generative AI associate so my schedule is very flexible and ideal for taking care of your dog when you're busy or away. I'm available mornings, afternoons, or evenings, basically whenever you need. And my apartment is located in Shockhoe Bottom near two parks, ideal for walks. I grew up with Lhasa Apso pups (Cassie and Teddy) and have been dog-sitting and dog-walking for about 5 years. I've taken care of a variety of breeds, ranging from a Chinese crested to a boxer-pitbull mix. I'm a very compassionate, gentle, and patient person. I love spending time with dogs and look forward to meeting yours! :) I work from home, so pet care fits into my schedule super easily. I can take dogs out for potty breaks and walks as needed. I live in an apartment, so my living situation better aligns with smaller dog breeds. But park proximity still allows for walks and outside time.

About: I’ve been a pet lover since I was a kid, and have owned cats since age 4. Currently I’ve got 2 Maine Coon (big) cats and 2 kids! If you need drop ins for home, pet, and/or plant care, I’d love to help. Rest easy knowing that your caregiver is a responsible adult mom who can follow a routine, stick to a plan, and send you cute pictures. I’m currently a stay at home mom, and my kids are in school or summer camps most days! My best hours are between 9am and 3pm, with “tuck in” availability after 7:30pm. I’d be happy to accommodate your pet’s usual schedule as much as possible and stick to familiar routines to reduce the stress they feel without you there with them.

“Sydney has been walking our two dogs for a couple of weeks now. They're big, high energy pups that clearly adore her visits. Her communication and reliability have been excellent.”


About: Hi! I have taken care of pets from different backgrounds and families and am willing to adjust and accommodate to any environment that is needed for the pet I currently work a full time job in Short Pump and commute home to the city. I am able to work around pet parents schedules if given enough notice in advance, and I appreciate those willing to work with my own schedule as well. No access to a yard for pups, and I do not have the space to accommodate for pups, therefore for boarding purposes I can only care for cats. I have an extra litter box, toys, and treats for your pet. Please feel free to bring your pets own food and their personal toys if necessary.
