Dog Walkers in Hollins, VA

“Kim has walked my anxious, medically-complex rescue dog multiple times a week for the past year. She does an awesome job with him and is always cheerful, professional, prompt and accommodating. I am very picky about who takes care of him because of all his issues and I feel so much better having Kim there to take care of my little guy.”

About: I have grown up around dogs and absolutely love the warmth and loyalty that they provide. I had a Dachshund growing up, and my wife and I currently have a rescue Jack Russel/Beagle mix who is absolutely full of love and energy every day! I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, and would love to help out with your furry friends however best I can! :) I am originally from Roanoke, VA. After moving to Florida and working for the Walt Disney Company for 5 years, my wife and I moved back to Roanoke to be closer to family. I am fully available to help care for your fur baby! I have experience with crates and will happily crate any of your pets. I will always use my utmost respect, care, and love with your pets!

About: I have dogs of my own I’ve had them since they were puppies and have trained them to use the restroom outside. I also have had a dog who had diabetes and would give her the insulin needed at the set times. My oldest dog had lived to be 15 years old. Pet care is something I actually enjoy doing it brings me joy since I hope to work with animals in my future. Pet care would be a great add on to my schedule and it would be something I look forward to. I’m currently living on campus meaning that I won’t really be able to care for pets in my home. While caring for my pet in other homes I will take them on walks and make sure to follow any instructions left.

About: I have always had fur babies and pets and animals seem to take to me right away. I have experience with all sorts of dog temperaments, and breeds, from Yorkies through Roddies. i’m new to the area and want to work hard to establish my business here. I have lovingly cared for senior dogs and cats, as well as puppies. A walk or a visit with me is fun! When I visit or walk your family pet they will be treated like the special creatures they are! You never need to worry about your furry family members when you’re at work or away! Loving attention and quality time will be given to your fur baby/ies when you enlist my help. I will follow your instructions and make certain that your pets needs are taken care of-so you can focus on work or vacation and know that they are in good hands.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was about 16. I match my energy with the dog to make sure they’re not over or underwhelmed, and to make sure that we both have a great time while some of their favorite humans are away! I’ll work with a client on how they would like their pet to be taken care of within their own home, and I will respect boundaries and the client’s space! I provide pictures, updates, and will work with the owner and pet to ensure everyone is happy :) I work full time but I have siblings at home that would be able to help take your pet out to use the restroom, go on a walk, or play! My siblings and parents enjoy animals so if I would need any help there would be no worry. I live in a house with a large front yard and backyard, so your dog will be able to have their own space, as well as a space outside to play and run around to get out their energy.

About: I love all animals and have experience with exotic pets! In college I took 2 courses on canine training and care. I have 3 cats of my own, one is a senior cat who needs medication. I am very comfortable giving cats pills. I currently work part time in the evenings, and am available all morning and afternoon for a drop in visit or a walk! I am available any time on the weekends. Saftey is a priority to me, I always ensure appropriate doors or gates are completely closed. I will check to make sure that there is nothing left out that they could get into.

About: I’ve always had a natural love for animals, and caring for them has been a constant in my life. Over the years, I’ve had several wonderful dogs of my own—Otis, my playful French Bulldog, and Bella, my sweet Miniature Dachshund, along with past pups like Fletcher, Sully, Lucy, Gus, Murphy, and Chief. Each one shaped my experience and deepened my appreciation for every personality and breed. Even though I don’t currently have pets of my own, I choose to spend my free time caring for other people’s pets and meeting fresh faces. I’ve worked with dogs my entire life and even pet sit for families around the world while they’re on vacation. Whether it’s sunbathing, stick‑chasing, or simply offering companionship, every dog I meet gets the same affection, patience, and attention I gave to my own. I currently work Thursday through Saturday from 12–12, but outside of those hours I have a very flexible schedule. That flexibility allows me to provide reliable, consistent care and accommodate a wide range of needs for pet parents. When pets are in my care, trust is at the center of everything I do. I understand that letting someone else look after your dog isn’t just a service—it’s a relationship built on reliability, communication, and genuine compassion. I treat every pet as if they were my own, offering consistency, patience, and the kind of attention that helps them feel safe and understood. I create an environment where dogs can relax, explore, and be themselves. Whether it’s a calm space for sunbathing, room to play and chase sticks, or simply a quiet moment of companionship, I make sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I pay close attention to their routines, preferences, and personalities so they always feel secure, even when their family is away. My goal is for every pet parent to feel confident knowing their dog is in capable, loving hands—and for every dog to feel right at home with me.

“Ellie is amazing! We met before she started walking my dogs and she asked wonderful questions to get to know my dogs. She sends me updates. Ollie Pup and Ellie Rose love her!”

About: I’ve had dogs in my house ever since I was born. I’ve walked dogs and pet sit multiple times over the past 7 years for multiple different families. I absolutely love dogs and would love to meet yours! I am a Paramedic/Firefighter and work very limited days during the month so I have a ton of days off and free time. I love dogs and would love to fill the time with some walks! I am not available for house sitting at my own home. But I am available to make visits and make sure your pets have their energy released and needs taken care of.

About: My family owned a poodle for many years so I have experience taking care of dogs for most of my life! I’ve also pet sat for friends and family on many different occasions and enjoy spending time with the pups! I am currently working for the second half of the week typically and have free time on other days all day to give dogs long, good, walks I currently have a large fenced yard in which your dog will be able to run around freely and enjoy the grass, sun, and shade.

About: Grew up helping family members with their pets and have always loved animals, also love helping people, and their loved ones. So I think this would be perfect for me. I am a rideshare/delivery driver so I have a very open schedule! I have 2 dogs, have watched family members pets, so figured rover will be good for me. I love all species of animals and pets so Rover is going to be a joy. My rates are based on what I’m actually getting paid, and the amount of time and care your pet will need also because Rover does take fees out. I’m here to make sure your pets are on a good schedule, and a timely walking schedule. That way they don’t have any accidents at home, and if they do I’ll clean it up. I take my pet out 3 times a day, so he rarely has any accidents at home, we recently lost one of our loves :( but he was very well taken care of, had to feed him/ administer meds through a syringe so have experience with sick dogs. I’m also here to help you while you’re at work and can’t get home to your babies. Love helping people, and animals. Your pet must have all their vaccine and rabies shots. Must show proof of rabies shots please, for my safety and your pets. Please let me know of any special requests or things I should be aware of.

“She went out of her way to let me know that my dog would not go for a walk. She notified me to let me know because she was worried that something might be wrong. Turns out that it was around the Fourth of July. My dog has simply been spooked by the fireworks. She was reassured, and happily offered to play with her in her backyard. My sweet girl was delighted with the alternative playtime. I appreciate her a quick communication and concern for my darling.”

About: Hi, I’m Rosemary! I love animals and have always grown up with birds, hamsters, cats, and dogs! I currently have one dog named Winston who is a sweet Maltese who loves other dogs. I’m very caring and attentive to animals and love making them as comfortable as possible. I grew up with a lot of pets and have always had a great love for them. I am flexible, especially on the weekends! I’m excited to be able to care for other’s pets and make them assured they are fine while their owners are away. I am definitely happy to care for cats as well as any other type of animal - no discrimination! Please let me know how I can help you and get started! I’m looking forward to caring for your furry friend. My schedule is pretty flexible and doesn't change much with another animal since I have my own dog who has his schedule down pretty well. I treat the animals as my own, they are allowed free range of my apartment if the owner wants. My dog is not crated during the day and likes to have a buddy to pal around with and play.

About: I have pet sit and house sat for the last 7 years, entrusted in taking care of dogs ranging from puppies (10 weeks) to seniors (15 plus years). I am comfortable administering medications as needed and feel confident in noticing illnesses. I have also taken care of cats, horses, donkeys, and goats. I will treat each animal with love and respect. I am currently on a flexible work from home schedule, so am available to your preferences. I have my own dog who is very friendly, so boarding and housesitting is available on a case by case basis. I am available for walks during anytime during the week/weekends. I will learn each pet’s personality and quirks ensuring their safety, and care. I take my own personal dog on both structured and unstructured walks throughout the day, and will cater to what your pup needs. My own apartment complex has dogs runs and woods for walks/adventures.

“Gussie did a wonderful job taking care of Simba, our geriatric Lionhead bunny. She was on time, followed instructions and was excellent in helping us during a stressful time.”

About: I’ve been the “dog person” in my family since I was young. Whether it’s walks, belly rubs, treats, or playtime, I always make sure pets feel happy and cared for. I treat every dog like my own and love making them feel safe, understood, and spoiled. I have an open and flexible schedule, so pet care fits in perfectly. I’m available for walks, check-ins, or last-minute needs at almost any time of day. I only care for pets in the client’s home, where they feel most comfortable. I follow their normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest while keeping their environment safe, calm, and familiar.

About: Growing up, I was always surrounded by animals. Within my childhood home we had dogs, cats, birds, fish, and hamsters which sparked my love for animals! Now I’m a proud mom to a bonded pair of two three year old cats and a rescue dog. I’m currently a full time graduate school student so I have a lot of flexibility as well as reliable transportation, as I have a new car! I am there to not only serve your pets needs but to also provide and safe and happy place for them. I will give them all the exercise and snuggles needed to make sure they are happy and healthy!
