Dog Walking in Hybla Valley

About: I’ve had and loved pets my entire life! (I was convinced I was going to be a vet until I realized I would very likely sob every time a pet got sick.) From my black lab, Raven, to my cats Lily and Langston, to now, my long-haired chihuahua, Midge, animals are just a part of the day-to-day! Since age 12, I’ve been petsitting for friends, family, and neighbors (including overnight stays) and cared for dogs who are super energetic, playful, and independent to dogs who experience some anxiety and might need a bit more attention❤️! I also have experience caring for a bit older doggos. My black lab, Raven, lived to 16 and as her mobility and needs changed, I changed with her and it really taught me to be very attentive, gentle, and adaptive to a pets needs. I’m comfortable and experienced with walking, feeding, brushing, playtime, litter boxes, and loving and attention when pets want or need it❤️! So whether your pet is super energetic and playful or just wants a calm, reassuring companion, I’m happy to match their vibe and energy and make them feel loved and at home☺️🐾! I’m a rising junior at Virginia Tech and home for the summer, working part-time as a server in the Fort Hunt/Hybla Valley area. I have a super flexible schedule and lots of free time to spend with your pets, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, or whatever else your pet might need😊! Mainly, I care for pets in the comfort of their own home with walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays! I make sure to stick to their routine, make sure they get plenty of playtime, attention, and exercise (or just hang out if that’s more their style!) I don’t usually host pets in my home, but I’m super flexible and want to make sure your pet feels happy and loved, and I’ll always make sure to send updates and pics📸🫶!

About: I owned a dog for most of my life. My dog sadly passed away after fifteen great years of happiness! I watch my friend's dogs when they go out of town because I'm usually always reliable and do most of my work inside my home. I am not lazy with taking dogs on walks and I care for pets like they are my own :) I am a stay at home mom to a 2 year old so I am always home to care for your loved one. We have a fenced backyard and lots of areas to walk. I can be flexible about what your pet needs. If you would prefer them in a crate at night I’d be happy to do that but usually I love having your pets roam around my townhouse and our fenced yard!

“Ian did a great job with my senior pup Luna. She is not a fan of men and she liked him right away. He was very reliable and Luna enjoyed every walk with him. Would definitely rebook!”

“This amazing couple truly went above and beyond! They took my beloved Remi for a walk, fed her, and embraced all his affectionate kisses. Their warmth, punctuality, and thoughtful updates throughout the walk made the experience exceptional. Highly recommend them for their incredible care and enthusiasm. They've made a lasting impression, and we'll definitely be booking with them again!”

“Our pup was chill when we returned home; relaxed from his long walk in the cold. Carly took him on a nice long walk and he is now, a few hours later, happily napping on my lap. Carly must have kept him moving since they did almost 2 miles! And he loves to sniff, so that’s impressive! Thanks for giving him a healthy diversion while we were out.”

About: I have owned pets with my family since I was a baby, and I have been volunteering with animal rescues since the age of 14! (to care for and clean up after cats/dogs.) I also own 14 fish tanks, and 2 beautiful kitties. All very well loved animals. I am currently working part time job during school. I am a college student but only have classes about 3 days a week. I am able to work best after school/ work hours, or on off days! Contact me and we can work something out:) I am an experienced pet owner, and I am happy to provide all the basics like, cleaning cages/litter boxes, food/water bowls, refreshing water and feeding, taking on walks, and playing with the your pet, and of COURSE providing lots of love and attention😸!

“Lenny did a great job taking our 2 Great Danes on daily walks. The girls really like her and were very excited when she arrived every day. It is apparent how much Lenny likes animals and her enthusiasm and care for them really shows.”

“Samantha was great with my pups, appreciated the communication after the walks and the photos shared of their walk. My pups are very shy, so appreciate her patience to let them warm up to her and spending time for pets and cuddles.”

Sun Y.

“Rachel was amazing! She helped us out on short notice and exceeded our expectations. Our dog Lucy can be shy with new people, but she warmed up to Rachel right away, which was such a relief. Rachel even gave extra attention to our cat Nelson (who wasn’t part of the booking), and both pets were so happy and relaxed when we got home. We’re so grateful for the care she gave and would absolutely book with her again!”

Katie S.

“Rosemary is polite, reliable and dependable. She communicated updates. I strongly recommend her pet care services.”

AISHA J.

“Kaitlyn and Auston have been lovely with my pup! They give wonderful feedback via Rober card and were very pleasant to meet for two meet and greets (: Envy gets her much needed walkies and outdoor time with them and comes back happy!”

C S.

“Definitely recommend! Jennifer has been walking my dog for a few weeks and he clearly adores her. Communication has been great. Super reliable.”

Allyson L.

“Lori is excellent! My pup and I are so thankful for her. She is trustworthy! My pup has bad allergies and is epileptic (a lot going on, I know!), but Lori has such confidence with it all. I will absolutely use her again!”

Megan H.

“Isela took great care of Max and gave him much comfort while I was away. I chose to do this at the last minute never doing anything like this before and it was a wonderful experience. Thank you, Isela!”

About: I’ve had a lifelong passion for caring for animals. Growing up with both dogs and cats, I gained early experience in pet care, which later extended to looking after pets for friends and family. Now, as a dog owner myself, I’m confident and comfortable handling a wide variety of breeds and attentive to any special needs they may have. As someone who works from home with a flexible schedule, I have the time and availability to provide reliable, attentive care for your pets. I’d love to spend my free time helping you by giving your pets the love and attention they deserve! I don’t just focus on getting the job done—I make sure your pet has a great time too! I truly enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their unique personalities!

“Melissa is the best! Our Molly is shy with people, but Melissa knows how to win her over. We feel totally comfortable with her watching our dog. Thanks Melissa!😊”
