Dog Walking in Jackson Ward, Richmond, VA

“Devinder has helped us a couple of times while we were on vacation. He is reliable and I feel that my doggies are well care for while I am away.”

“I cannot recommend Sierra highly enough! My dog, Mickey, ran down the hall to meet her on her second visit. He’s never done that. She obviously had Mickey’s seal of approval immediately. Sierra is conscientious, very communicative, and extremely kind. She has my complete trust and respect, because she treats Mickey as if he were her own. To me that is the absolute best quality in a dog walker! Choosing Sierra as your dog walker is the absolute correct decision! Having Sierra walk your dog will keep you worry free and happy while your pup gets good exercise, has fun and is treated like family 😃”

“Adora is absolute wonderful with my baby girl. She came through in a pinch for me, put me at ease about the care my dog-child was in, loved on her and got her some sunshine while I was stuck at work. Thank you, Adora!”

About: Hey there! Im Julia. From a young age I have taken care of many dogs, cats, rabbits, & horses for my friends, family and neighbors. I have had experience house breaking and training several puppies in basics tricks such as sit, stay, roll-over and more! I also have experience with older dogs of up to age 14 both with my own pet and other’s pets. I understand the care and patience it takes for dogs of all ages and I will take the time to make sure your pet is comfortable and their needs are met. I am a full-time college student taking several classes online so I am often home and your pet is never alone for too long. : ) Regardless of whether I am taking care of pets in my home or in a client’s home the first thing I do is speak with the client about their expectations for me when watching their pet. Every pet is different and unique and require care tailored to their lifestyle and routine. Aside from setting and following expectations, I like to ensure that the pets are not only in a comfortable environment but also stay active though walks or playing parks. Being comfortable and active keeps you pet happy and healthy which is something I strive to do as a pet caretaker.

“Riley was amazing! Helped me out on relatively short notice for a few days while I had to be away at work, she took great care of my two sweet, energetic girls and followed all of my instructions and even came over to meet the dogs and get acquainted beforehand! Would highly recommend!”

About: I am a musician, property manager, & ex-software dev who enjoys taking care of animals. One of my favorite experiences was caring for a small farm (dogs, cats, horses, and chickens!) in Kentucky. I love taking dogs on walks around town & to explore the river! I am committed to consistent and clear communication; I place a high value on the professional relationship between house-sitter and host. I love sending daily updates as requested. I don't work during the day, so I can accommodate feedings, med delivery, walks, and playtime all day long! I try to structure my day around the client's schedule, so that the animals don't experience a disruption in their normal routine. I love doing overnight sits for pets in the environment they are most comfortable in — their own home. I find it easy to adapt to a pet’s schedule and routine and I love exploring new places around town via walks!

About: Hello! My name is Eula, but I go by Thane! I currently petsit on Rover full time. I absolutely love dogs, cats, horses, snakes, hamsters, and pretty much every other animal I've encountered in my life! I have done dog grooming and training and have been a kennel tech in the past and have worked both with an open play system and individual boarding and I'm very comfortable around all kinds of breeds and temperaments. I have also housesat for many family friends and cared for dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, horses, goats, sheep, and chickens while they were away. For most of my childhood I lived next to a horse farm, so I have a fair amount of experience grooming and handling horses, although I don't ride anymore. I have experience owning and caring for hamsters as well. I own two feral kittens that I am socializing. I very much enjoy working with animals and I do my very best to treat every animal entrusted to me as though it were my own. Rover is my full time job! I care for your pets around the time I spend with my own animals and do my best to make sure everyone's needs are accommodated for, schedule wise. This means I will prioritize time slots for pets who are on a strict medication schedule or need a very consistent routine, and other time slots are a bit more flexible (within ~1 hour of the requested time given). I will happily take your dogs on a nice long walk, and I'm also down to play fetch or tug of war. If your dog knows more involved games or needs reinforcement of training, I'm happy to work with them on basic obedience and tricks. I love hanging out with cat clients and particularly enjoy working with shy or formerly feral cats--two of mine are former ferals :)

About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs before so I have lots of experience with overall care for pets, but I also provide extra care for the pet as well. Rather than do the bare minimum of walking, playing, and feeding, I like to ensure the pets I take care of arent lonely which means dedicating more time than needed to keep the pet happy! Right now I am home from university and looking to make some money for next year while also doing something I love. I have a very flexible schedule because of this so I am always open to adjustments in your schedule! I have cared for many different breeds, sizes, and types of pets before and know how to adjust my care for them based on those things as well as their personality.

“Benji, my “rescued me” dog, has been hesitant in the past to leave the house with a new person. He has really taken to Mallory. His tail is wagging vigorously, when he sees her coming up the sidewalk! She is always warm and friendly with him, and he looks forward to her visits.”

Valerie S.

“Kate was so great! She really went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable before leaving my baby to her. It shows how much she really cares about your dog. She had no problem handling my huge Great Dane and easing his worries while I was away. I would not hesitate to rebook her again!”

Karen C.

“Took great care of my dog!”

Clifford A.

“I forgot to book my walks for the week and I work 12 hour shifts, so it is imperative that my tiny guy ( who refuses to go inside on puppy pads) be taken out. Bridgette saved the day, even with such short notice. My dog also loves her. I definitely recommend her to anyone.”

Christine D.

“Brenna C. was great! Communicated with me promptly and fully and gave great care to my 8 year old Presa Canaria. I will most definitely request her services again.”

Robin W.

“Rachel was excellent! She was very responsive, kind, reliable, and went out of her way to make sure my doggie felt loved and had fun on her walks! Will absolutely use her again in the future”
