Dog Walkers in Hiltons, VA

“Alexa was great! She was super communicative and showed up on time every single day for a month to walk our two dogs while we were settling into a new house. She got them plenty of exercise each day, gave updates on how they did on each walk, adjusted walk lengths based on the weather and how much energy the dogs had each day, and overall was super attentive to each dog’s individual needs. Our boys are missing her already, and we will definitely be using her in the future!”

About: Hello, let me introduce myself my name is Jackie. I have had pets and been around animals my whole life. I also have been a vet assistant and kennel tech before. I love animals! My dream is to someday have an animal rescue! I have taken care of friend’s pets when they go out of town, as well as looking after my own 3 dogs and 2 cats at home! I work for a company that allows me to make a schedule around what I need so I can work in your pets needs as well. I like to know what a client expects of me and how they take care of their pets. I am good at following directions and look forward to treating your pets like family!

About: Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to watch their pets when necessary. In addition, throughout high school I volunteered as a dog walker at the local human society. Duties included but were not limited to feeding, cleaning kennels, and walking dogs of different sizes and training abilities. I have worked with dogs all ages and sizes as well as temperaments. I enjoy being able to spend time with each 4 legged furry friend and give them the best comfort and care while you are away. I am a full-time stay at home dog mom for 4 fur babies. My hours are fairly flexible with the ability to come and go as needed. Dogs have become a part of my life and a huge passion of mine. I am able to care earlier morning to late evening and everything in between. I follow the schedule that that the client gives. More specifically with ideal mealtimes for the pet, as well as daily walks and play time. My dogs have a routine schedule which I maintain. I have learned that most dogs are comfortable with a strict routine. I provide a safe area for them to play as well as keep majority of 100+ toys in. They receive their routine potty breaks and lots time to exercise outside when it's not chilly or wet. Otherwise, they are inside being great cuddle buddies while watching TV and chowing down on some of their favorite snacks.

About: I have taken care of mine and my friends dogs for years. Large, small ,old and young, I care for all, loving the companionship only a pet can give. I am currently between jobs so am available for drop ins or overnight services any time with a couple of days notice. I am flexible. I normally keep the fur babies in your home, their own environment which is easier for them, no adjustments are needed. I will do as you do.

“Kevin is so good to PJ. Couldn't ask for a better person to care for my baby. Always on time, so friendly, just overall good experience. Highly recommend Kevin.”

About: I am a mother to a wonderful eleven year old, Kiera. And we have a boy dog named Koda! My love for animals started at a young age and I know that love will never end. I have spent the past 10 years working in restaurants as a manager, event worker, host, server, bartender. I've also spent the last five years working with kids, in a childcare setting at a local church \ pre school. As I move through this next chapter I just recently received my degree for holistic health and am furthering my educations for specifications in holistic health care. I recently moved back to Bristol so I am ultimately looking for a second income while I get everything established. I am available for almost anything and look forward to being able to love and play with all of your fur babies! I recently moved back to the area and am doing part time work until I am fully re-established. My child is in school and I have plenty of open areas to take care of your fur babies! I always treat my animals with the same love and care I treat any person or child in my care. I have a lot of compassion and love for all living beings!

“Sara was wonderful. Because of Sara, I was able to enjoy my son’s wedding and not worry about my pups. I will definitely be calling Sara again the next time that I visit Greenville,”

About: I've always loved taking care of my friends dogs and cats. I once pet sat my friends 2 dogs for a month, and we had a blast. my friends tend to call me a dog slut bc I want to love on any dog I see. But they deserve it!! My dog is my world, he's a rescue mutt, and he is a wild boy, but he makes me so happy. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible, I can bring my work to your home too, and stay with your dog for several hours/ days I always am very attentive with any dog I care for, and promise to treat it like my own. We will play, or just chill. Whatever your dog is feeling :)

About: I grew up on a farm raising cows, chickens and dogs. I also house sat and pet sat for family, friends and co-workers since I was 14. (Now 21) I love helping others and taking care of all kinds of animals no matter the breed, size or energy level. I work swing shift at Eastman, so I’m off half of the month. Taking care of pets would be a fun way for me to spend my free time doing something I love. I’m always gentle and loving with animals but I can be stern when I need to be. This would be in times related to safety of the pet or others around us. I make sure to always give animals the best care in my ability because they deserve the world.

“Loved that she took lots of pictures of the walk!”

About: Hi there! My name is Emily, I am 27 and I absolutely adore meeting new animal friends. I’ve been a pet owner since I was a little girl, ranging from guinea pigs to cats to dogs. I personally have five cats and two dogs, so I am no stranger to tending to the needs of multiple pets with a variety of needs. I have a very flexible schedule at the moment, so I should be available to help out whenever I’m needed. I am attentive, calm and will provide all of the love to your pet during the time I get to spend with them. Please let me know if I can answer any questions for you! As I work from home and I have a flexible schedule, I have been able to peruse pet sitting as well as fostering kittens. Pet care already sits within my day to day, so I’m happy to fit your pets in! I take safety very seriously when it comes to both my own pets and the pets of others. It’s my number one priority to ensure that animals in my care have access to their needs, enrichment and safety!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is how I naturally fell into pet sitting through caring for family and friends' pets, which soon caught the attention of neighbors. This journey into pet sitting has deepened my passion for my community. I have experience caring for a diverse range of animals including dogs of all sizes and ages, cats, and pets with special medical needs. I'm also skilled in looking after birds, fish, and chickens, and am enthusiastic about expanding my expertise to include even more types of animals. Whether it's training puppies, providing comfort to senior pets, or administering medicine, my approach is always compassionate and tailored to the specific needs of each pet. I'm eager to bring my love and dedication to more families, helping everyone feel secure that their beloved animals are in caring hands. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine as I work from home, which provides the flexibility to adapt to the specific needs and preferences of each pet. This flexibility allows me to tailor my day around the pets I care for, ensuring that they receive attentive and personalized care on a schedule that suits them best. Whether it's multiple walks, playtime, feeding, or just being there for company, I'm readily available to make each pet's day better and brighter while their owners are away. When caring for pets, either in my home or at a client's, I prioritize creating a comfortable and consistent environment for each pet. Before any stay begins, I communicate closely with the pet parent to understand what a normal day looks like for their pet. This allows me to tailor the pet's experience specifically to their routine and preferences, ensuring there is minimal change and maximum comfort during their stay. By maintaining their usual schedule — from feeding times to favorite play activities — I make the transition as smooth and stress-free as possible, allowing pets to feel secure and at ease whether they're in their home or mine. This customized approach helps ensure that each pet receives the best possible care while under my supervision.

“Our dog absolutely loved Ali! She is very kind and responsive. We will definitely be booking her for our walking and sitting needs.”

About: I am a happily employed veterinary assistant! I am willing to walk, sit, stay, and roll over with your cats and dogs. With my experience in veterinary care, I am able to see signs of any sort of potential separation anxiety or sickness and will help keep them calm and comfortable while you’re away. I have two cats and a rabbit, but I feel plenty comfortable caring for all kinds of creatures! I look forward to meeting you and your beautiful family members! I currently have a full time job at a local animal hospital! I would be able to stop by and care for your babies before and after work, with a possibility of visiting on my lunch break based on distance. I love to stimulate fur-kiddos physically and mentally by taking them on walks, playing with them, and letting them explore all of the neighborhood smells. I will be able to spot the signs of discomfort quickly and act efficiently if needed. Although I plan to just cuddle your pets while you’re away to keep them warm for ya!

About: I've had both cats and dogs most of my life. As a kid I was always bringing home strays, giving them care as needed and finding them homes. As I got older I began volunteering at the animal shelter, mainly working with the dogs. I would give baths, medication, work on basic training, and help make them shine at adoption events! I even had the privilege of working with a deaf dog. I learn hand signals to help teach him basic commands. I have also helped break up several dog fights at the shelter and at dog parks with little harm to myself and the dogs involved. With my personal pets I have had everything from puppies & kittens to seniors needing special care. I have had overly friendly dogs and anxious messes, each needing different training and support. I currently work full time with a varied schedule each week. I do have an hour lunch each day and can do potty breaks depending on how far away from work my client is located. Depending on work schedule a walk/playtime is doable either before or after my schedules shift. Always available to stay overnight. Due to having 5 dogs myself, I will NOT have any clients pets at my personal residence. If a fence is not present at the client's residence all animals will stay on leashes at all times. If client wants/needs pet taken elsewhere to walk (park, different neighborhood, dog park, etc.) they will have a seatbelt on, if they are wearing a harness. Any interactions with other dogs or people will be closely monitored. Paw pads will be checked regularly on extreme temperature days. No water play will be allowed without clients permission.
