Dog Walkers in Hudgins, VA

“My name is Glenn. For 8 years, I lived in my sailboat, with my furbaby, Kona. He is so very special to me. He turned 15 years old, this year. He rides with me on my Harley Davidson motorcycle. He was born the same day, my dad passed away. He acts exactly like my dad. My best friend. A couple of years ago, I had to leave Kona with Shelley. Shelley was the manager of the marina where I and Kona were moored. If Kona wasn't on the boat, he was with Shelley. I had no doubt. She loved and cared for Kona with the same adoration I have.I was buying my house in France and I couldn't take Kona with me. I was to be gone for 3 months. It was without reservation, when I asked Shelley to take care of my furbaby for the extended period. Kona, Shelley and I were secure with the arrangement. When I returned to get Kona, he had been groomed, washed, and catapulted into my arms like a fresh puppy. She had maintained the strict diet, exercise and disciplines I had in place. It was without a doubt, the best arrangement I could ever hoped for. If you want the very best, you should go with Shelley and your furbaby will have the best of arrangements. Glenn”

“Kellee B has watched our 3 dogs a few times and we absolutely love her! So nice to know my dogs are taken care of.”

About: After hosting dogs in my home for many years I’ve recently relocated where I am unable to have pets. I’m looking forward to staying connected to animals by providing my well reviewed care in other peoples homes. I’ve has had many years owning, breeding and training dogs, and had cats, monkeys, and reptiles as pets. So your babies are in good hands! I look forward to meeting you and your pets soon! Why I love dog sitting Patricia has been owning, loving, training, raising and caring for dogs for over 30 years. I grew up in Colombia, S.A. where we always had dogs both to play with and dogs to keep the property. Then I decided to breed and raise miniature Collies. Then with my own family and kids, we lived in the Amazon jungle where I was a teacher, and we had the best dog ever, a Cockapoo named Orito. He was the best Iguana chaser you have ever seen:) My experience administering medication I can certainly take care of any med issues you may have with your pet. I’m retired and love to cuddle and care for pets in their own homes. I recently moved and can’t have pets of my own. My schedule is very flexible. I treat your pets like my own. I am very responsible and take the time that is needed to make sure your babies are loved and well cared for.

“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.

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.

About: Hi! I’m Alanna & I grew up on a horse farm but we didn’t just keep horses. 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 just 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 personally 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.

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

“Sarah did great with my 5 hyper dogs. They are all on separate diets with medication and she managed the routine exactly as I needed. They all also got nice long walks. Highly recommend.”

“Meredith is a very caring sitter for our pets. She treats them better than I do which is saying a lot! She is always on time and very responsible. She follows the walking and feeding schedules diligently. I feel 100% secure leaving our pets with Meredith. They are in the best of hands with her and our pets always look forward to seeing her arrive at the house.”

“Great with Lewk!”

“Amanda is a responsible pet care provider. Amanda has grown up with animals of all types including dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens and pigs. She can be trusted to take excellent care of your fur babies.”

About: I cannot remember a time in my life that I didn’t have a dog. I have two dogs currently Bear and Chewy. Bear is a lab and Chewy is an Aussiedoodle. I have been dog sitting for friends and family for years. I do have experience with senior dogs. Our sweet fur baby went over the rainbow bridge last year and towards the end of her life she was diagnosed with dog dementia and we navigated those ruff roads til the end. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I am currently a stay at home mom but my child is in school Monday through Friday. I am also a Certified Medical Assistant with 10 years experience.I am available all day Monday through Friday and most weekends. I am not able to have other dogs at my home besides my own due to renting, but I am willing to let them out at your home and play with them there. I can also take them on walks as well.

“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.”

“I’ve known Melissa C. for 15 years and have worked with her at both a Pet Grooming business, as well as, a Veterinary Hospital. Melissa is reliable and conscientious. One of her loves in life are animals. She is highly trained in the Animal Industry and will bring her skill set to her pet care duties. Her compassion and patience for animals is uncompromising and I trusted her implicitly with my pet while she was alive.”

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

“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.”

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.
