Dog Walkers in Hudgins, VA

“This was my first time using the Rover dog walking service. Kim came over and walked our 2 dogs. She did a great job and sent pictures. The dogs were very happy and in good hands. I will definitely use Kim again!”

“Christina has been a huge help with our dog Oshie. She is so kind and loving towards her and treats her like her own. My husband and I frequently rely on Christina for drop-ins, walks, and to feed her dinner and her pills. It’s so nice to have someone we trust with our sweet girl! I highly recommend Christina for your pet needs!”

“Melissa is a lover of all animals. She is a very responsible caregiver that has cared for my pets when I was out of town. Your pooch will be in good hands with her.”

“Great service!!”

About: I’ve been an avid animal lover from a very young age and have worked with many different types and life stages. My most extensive experience is with horses, but I have also managed flocks of chickens, rehabilitated sick cats, trained dogs, have been responsible for the care of sheep. I was that girl in high school that everyone brought their sick pets to. Nowadays I’m the one people ask for advice concerning everything from behavioral to health problems. As my husband and I are starting our personal farm I am opening up my pet sitting to a more people. I’m currently managing my personal farm and have a seasonal part time job that takes me away Thursday, Friday and Saturday afternoons. Other than that, I am typically at home. I have a 18 acre farm for dogs with a good recall to play on. These dogs can spend most of their day joining me and my own pets in caring for the farm. For dogs without a good recall, I do have a smaller horse paddock that I can let them play in. The fence will hold most dogs of every shape and size. Interaction between residents of the paddock and your pets will only be allowed at my discretion. The residents are dog-friendly and will be moved to another area for your pup’s playtime. I also have access to 25 acre of woods with trails to take dogs on more extensive walks. My personal farm consists of chickens, quail, sheep, a pony, a cow, two large dogs and pigs. I personally feel that a happy pet is one that has a job. In coming to my farm your pets will be treated like my pets. I am not prone to spoiling but I do like to reward jobs well done. There are a few rules but they are easy to learn. Most visiting pets are pros within 15 minutes. I have several toys and puzzles to entertain pups that are more indoor oriented.

“Kayce is wonderful with Rio and I can tell he looks forward to seeing her. She keeps me posted of his activities and is on top of all his well being. Thank you always!”

“When I say there is no one better to trust with your dogs, I don’t make that statement lightly. Kellee is friendly, attentive and treats your dogs as if they are her own. My dog doesn’t trust new people easily. As soon as she met Kellee she curled up next to her with her head in Kellee’s lap. If you want to be able to travel with piece of mind then Kellee is the perfect choice.”

About: Need a sitter for your fur baby? Family, friends, and neighbors have all relied on us to take care of their dogs while they are gone, from drop-in visits to short day trips to multiple week long trips. Having 2 loving pups of our own, we understand that pets are family members and are very familiar with separation anxiety. We will treat your loved one to all the play and attention that they need so that you can be worry free! My husband is active duty military while I am fortunate to have a very flexible work from home schedule so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. Your furry companions will have my undivided attention, love, and care, ensuring they receive the best possible care throughout the day until you see them again. You can count on me to keep you updated about your fur baby and meet their needs. I am passionate about caring for animals. When caring for pets in a new environment or with an unfamiliar caregiver, I find patience and consistency alongside lots of attention and love are most important. Our home is very welcoming to dogs as we have a half acre fenced in on our property. I can provide plenty of exercise for your pet as needed. I’m also happy to keep their schedule in the comfort of their own home.

“Charity has pet sit for me outside of Rover many times. She’s very responsible and has many pets of her own. (The cat whisperer:)She’s a very loving human being with a big heart. You can count on her spur of the moment and long term. Very friendly and outgoing, Charity is. She’s the best!”

About: Hi! I’m Alanna! The most important part of animal care is reading animal behavior. I am fortunate to have grown up around all kinds of animals, so reading their behavior is second nature to me (I even studied animal psychology in college!). Here is a list of some animals I have cared for: horses, dogs, cats, snakes, ferrets, amphibians, ducks, bunnies, birds, turtles, lizards, goats, turkeys, rodents etc. I have also tended to and released various wildlife such as barn swallows, mice, opossum, squirrels, ducks, rabbits, snakes. I recently moved back home from Florida, where I would pet/house sit often by word of mouth only- never advertised. I have experience tending to special needs pets too. I currently have 3 dogs (plus a horse) and they are my best friends! That means I can walk multiple dogs at a time :) I recently quit my full time job and am working on the farm! I have a very flexible schedule as well as my own reliable transportation. In the future I will be offering boarding services on the farm! For now, I am able to come to your home and walk or stay as needed.

“Shelley is a bubble of joy, and absolutely AMAZING with all furbabies! I wouldn't choose anyone else when it comes to my pets. She's responsible, attentive, dependable, and truly loves the pets she cares for--as if they were her very own. I can't recommend her enough!!! Your pets' paws are in EXCELLENT hands with Shelley! You, and yout pet(s), will Glad you went with her!!”

About: I have owned, trained and taken care of a huge variety of breeds, temperaments and sizes. My current dog is a 120lb Shiloh Shepherd. My last was a 7lb Rat Terrier, Chihuahua mix! I'm currently in school online and self employed, so I can modify my schedule to fit your needs! From early mornings, to late in the evening, I have you covered! Pets are part of your family and as such, will be treated with the utmost care, respect and diligence. It is a big leap to trust a stranger with a family member, and I strive to provide the best care for you pet!

“I have two dogs, Maeve- an English Mastiff, and Winston- an English Mastiff/Lab mix, and Alexis has watched them both multiple times. She's always been good with them and gives them all of the attention while she's with them.”

“She was very good with my animals and she even helped me give one medication to one of my dogs. She is the best!!!!!!!”

“Melissa did a tremendous job taking care of my dog in my home while I was away. When I returned my dog acted as if I had never left. Once you meet Melissa it is apparent the great love and care she has for all pets. I have utilized her multiple times and recommended her to friends. They all had great things to say about her care for their family pets.”

“Heather is great with my pup and gives her extra attention!”

About: Your four legged family member is just as important to me as they are to you! You can expect personalized attention given to your pet, and I will treat them as if they are one of my own! My own pets are obedient but also spoiled, they get the perfect level of training and loving every day! I have had a variety of dogs, from squirrel chasers, to loungers, from 30 pounds to 110 pounds! I can handle anything and everything they have to offer! I believe that pets are therapeutic to be with, and in order for them to be that way they need their own source of therapy- socializing and walks! Let your pet continue to grow through different experiences with me today! Pet care is my priority! I can dedicate 100% of my time to your furry family member to ensure their needs are met- no matter what! Plenty of outdoor time is a given for any type of service. At my home, the fully fenced backyard will be the ultimate playground. And of course some walking around the quiet neighborhood for some mental stimulation!

“the service was listed as Abigail, but Victor was actually our walker. Victor handled my two fellas very professionally, both dogs were always very anxious to hit the trail. Victor helped with putting on their walking gear, and was very flexible when we needed to reschedule because of rain. He sent daily reports to my email, showing their walking route and activities (bathroom and rest breaks). Thirty minute sessions were just right and both pups were ready to settle down for naps. My dogs were a 45# tall beagle and a similar weight Brittany Spaniel. I highly recommend this service and will use again when need arises. Thanks Victor.”

About: I have owned several dogs throughout my life. Small to big dogs as well as cats. I now own a German shepherd who just turned one in December and have trained her from a puppy. I have a big back yard and love animals. I have experience walking dogs of many sorts and have baby sat for several people before with dogs of all sizes. I have water dishes and food dishes for dogs and leashes and live in a neighborhood thats friendly and not too busy so it would be perfect for animals to walk in. I am currently working part at home and have plenty of time to take care of animals by boarding them or come to you anytime. I have a big yard for the dogs to run around in. I also have two fur babies to keep other animals occupied and to play around with.
