Dog Walking Jahnke

About: I have cared for dogs of all ages and sizes for twenty years, and I take the responsibility and well- being of animals very seriously. I enjoy the relationship walking a dog regularly builds, and how happy and healthy regular activity makes a dog. I am a USCG Veteran and a personal soccer trainer, so I have always enjoyed an active lifestyle and look forward to continuing that through my activities with caring for dogs. I can be flexible regarding scheduling needs, I can come to you or your dog can come to me! I have experience with difficult behavior, high energy, important routines, weird personality quirks, and crazy allergies in dogs; I am dedicated to providing high quality service to you and your dog.

“Nora is fantastic! She’s friendly, loved my energetic pup, and was easy to communicate with. I’ll definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Nicole does such a great job with my baby. On days when it’s too hot she still makes sure he goes out and gets playtime and love. I absolutely love that she takes multiple pics to show what they’ve been up to. Pork Chop enjoys her visits so much”

“Thanks for always being there on short notice!”

About: I specialize in thoughtful, low-stress care for cats of all personalities—from social and playful to shy and selective. I take the time to understand each cat’s routine, preferences, and boundaries so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience with multi-cat households, administering basic medications, and caring for senior cats who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m highly reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, and I treat your home and your cat with the same level of care I would expect for my own. You can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your cat is in calm, capable hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around visits, ensuring I’m always on time and able to provide consistent, attentive care. I’m intentional about not overbooking so each cat receives the time, attention, and calm presence they deserve. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or a longer visit, I prioritize being fully present and dependable. I focus on maintaining each cat’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. During visits, I handle feeding, fresh water, litter box care, and playtime or companionship based on your cat’s personality. I take the time to understand preferences — whether that’s interactive play, quiet company, or simply respecting their space. I’m attentive to small changes in behavior or appetite and will always communicate anything noteworthy. I also treat your home with care and respect, keeping things clean and consistent. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you always know how your cat is doing.

About: I grew up with pets and now have my own black Lab, Hank, who’s just over two years old! I’ve been pet sitting for 15+ years for family, friends, and Rover dogs (and cats)! I’d love to give your fur babies some extra love and attention while you’re away! 🐾 My main availability are weekends. I am also available (some) week day's, but mostly later in the day after 5pm during the week if needed. I typically ask the owner before the first visit how they go about doing things/their routine with their animals. That way we're sticking to what the dogs/cats are comfortable with and what they know best!

About: I moved to Richmond about a year ago, which meant leaving my two pups back home with their dad. As rural, born-and-bred dogs, city life just wasn’t the right fit for them. So now, I’m filling that gap by spending time with other people’s furry friends! I’ve become the go-to dog walker for my neighbors, and I genuinely love it—it gives me my weekly dose of wagging tails and happy walks. I’d love the chance to walk your dog and give them the care, attention, and exercise they deserve. Pet care is something I’ve naturally built into my weekly routine. Since moving to Richmond about a year ago and leaving my two dogs back home, I’ve really missed that daily connection with animals. Walking dogs has been the perfect way to stay active while still getting that time with furry companions. I regularly walk dogs for my neighbors, so I’m already used to planning my schedule around consistent walks and giving each dog dedicated attention. It’s something I genuinely look forward to each week—it doesn’t feel like a task, but more like a highlight of my day. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to fit walks into my routine in a way that works best for both you and your pup. I will provide attentive, personalized care based on each pets routine and personality, whether I’m in my client’s home or caring for them on a walk. I make sure every pet gets plenty of exercise, affection, and supervision, while sticking closely to any instructions the owner provides regarding feeding, leash use, or behavior preferences.

“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.

“Shannon was huge help walking our dog Nora after my foot surgery. She was responsible, communicative, and took some cute pictures of Nora during their walks! We will definitely book again.”

Meagan M.

“We love Jenelle! She does a great job reinforcing what we are working on in training. We are so appreciative of her!”

About: I have helped care for the family pets since I was age ten. I do not currently have a dog of my own but I have dog sat for family friends by walking, feeding, and playing with the dogs. I currently work full time, working 12 hour shifts from 7a-7p a few days a week and every other weekend. I always know my schedule ahead of time, so as long as there is open communication I’m sure we can make it work. I would also be able to assist in evenings with walks or drop in visits as needed as long as I have a heads up so I make sure I leave work at a decent time since I typically am able to leave between 7-7:15p. Feel free to reach out if you have questions. When training the family pets when I was younger we had them in crates at night, but now they sleep in the bed. I have dog sat for family friends that had a fenced in yard and others that the dogs needed to be walked a few times a day.

“Great communication and timely arrival!”

Christine H.

“Thank you for working with my anxious baby!”

Rachel P.

“Meghan was wonderful when I needed a walker last minute! Very communicative and great with my dog. We are very thankful and will definitely book with Meghan again!”

About: I grew up in a multi-cat household and now own 5 cats between my parents and myself! There's no kitty I can't handle - from super social, to shy, to very sassy, I'm known to be able to form a bond with every cat that comes into my care. I'm also a lover of all animals, I owned fish and lizards and have spent a lot of time helping walk and take care of my family's dogs. My animals are my life, and I've been on Rover for almost four years now! I also have a lot of experience working for Happy Cats Concierge LLC in Reston, VA, where I provided a range of services for cats of various quantities, ages, and personalities. Whether your furry friend needs a playmate, cuddle buddy, bodyguard, or just someone to stop by for food and medicine - I got you! My schedule is open and my day-to-day is flexible! Any specific dates I’m unavailable will be reflected on my calendar. Please message me with any other scheduling questions. Inside, outside, leash or no leash, crate, etc., I will honor the owner's wishes for where their furry friend needs to be spending their time. I value consistent routines and attentiveness while your pet is in my care. All of my services will be based in the client's home or neighborhood.
