Dog Walking In Johnson Village

“Dakota was friendly, flexible, and reliable. Sam always enjoyed his time with Dakota. Dakota interspersed neighborhood walks & trips to the dog park with visits to Barnes & Noble and other places. We will use Dakota again without reservation and highly recommend him to care for your pet.”

“Julie is a very kind and reliable dog sitter! She walked my dog Ivy every week this summer and boarded Ivy in her home for a weekend. She is very responsive to messages and provides detailed Rover card walk recaps. Ivy seems to love her time with her. Thank you, Julie!”

About: I’ve always had animals growing up. My family bred Saint Bernards, so I have experience with animals of all sizes and ages. I loved helping take care of them, but have been unable since I moved for college. I am really excited to meet your pets. I’m currently working part-time with a very flexible job. I can do anytime as long as I have about a weeks notice prior. Thank you! I have a fenced in court-yard and currently have no pets, so your pet is my number 1 priority. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with plenty of space for your animals!

“Julia is an exceptional dog walker. Her care of our dog is outstanding, from the length of the walks to her following what we have asked of her. And she not only understands her role, but proactively found a replacement for future times she will be unable to walk him. We could not be happier with Julia!”

About: I treat every pet like my own giving them plenty of care, attention, and love. I have experience with both energetic puppies and gentle senior pets, tailoring my care to meet their unique needs. Whether your dog needs extra playtime, medication, or just company, I make sure they stay happy and comfortable while you’re away. My communication is consistent, and I always keep pet parents updated with photos and notes for peace of mind. Pet care fits really well into my weekly routine. I currently work three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility on my off days and most weekends to focus on pets. On the days I’m working, I can still accommodate morning, evening, and some weekend visits, so pets get reliable, attentive care built into my schedule. For drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they have fresh water, food as instructed, a potty break, and plenty of playtime or cuddles so they feel comfortable while you’re away. For dog walks, I focus on safe, enjoyable walks that match your dog’s energy level, making sure they get exercise, enrichment, and a chance to explore while I keep you updated with notes and photos after each visit.

“I had surgery & needed an evening dogwalker for my 75 lb hound. Tracy agreed to the 2 weeks of walks & weekend afternoon extra walks. She’s been fantastic! I highly recommend her. She’s on time and great with my dog who is an enthusiastic fellow.”

“Scott was so helpful for a last minute booking to exercise my dog when I became injured. He's very attentive to my pup's needs and made sure she was happily tired after each walk! I look forward to booking his services again.”

“Penny was easy to work with and took great care of our dogs. She was very responsive and took extra care with Evie. We’re grateful for her help and would wholeheartedly recommend her to others.”

Rob S.

“James did a great job! We have an older dog and a puppy, and James walked both of them. He communicated with us throughout the day about their walks, and he was flexible with his scheduling for us. We will definitely use James again, and we would highly recommend him to any other dog owners.”

“Amy is truly amazing! She takes the time to play with your pet if the weather is yucky and they can’t get the full walk in outside. Highly recommend!”

Jessica A.

“Maddie has been a great, reliable, responsible, trustworthy dog walker. She is consistent and super sweet to my 4-legged, wild, slightly anxious, sometimes hard of hearing fur baby. She has great communication and has made my life easier knowing my dog is taken care of during the day when I can’t be there! Highly recommend her services! My schedule is changing but I will definitely be a return customer when I need her again. Thanks Maddie!”

Lisa K.

“Lauren is so amazing. She is punctual and communicative and goes above and beyond with Copper. We really appreciate her consistency and kindness with our pup!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and absolutely love caring for them. I have two cats of my own, and I enjoy dog and cat sitting just as much as spending time with my own pets. Since I love going on long walks, I’m the perfect match for dogs who need some exercise. Whether it's a walk, a check in, or overnight, I will make sure your pets get all the love and care they need! I currently work close to full time, but I still have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to other responsibilities. My days are always free until 4pm, and I’m also available later in the evenings. In addition, I’m off every Sunday, which allows me even more time! I will care for your pets with the same love and compassion I give my own. I'm responsible and dependable, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Kris diligently worked to persuade my neurotic dogs to go on a walk with her. She was very patient and understanding with them and I look forward to working with her again”

Barbara H.

“Maura is amazing!! She took care of my baby boxer while I have to run inside a UVA building to see my daughter science competition. She saved me! Then she returned later to stay with my baby Fify, so I can go back in for the award ceremony. Thank you Maura!!!”

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. Throughout middle/high school, I volunteered with our local SPCA and was able to gain more experience in learning different traits and behaviors of dogs. During this time, I assisted with a program that allowed members of the community to come in and learn more about dog training; this allowed me to gain greater experience into the proper ways to train a dog. Throughout my time in undergrad, I frequently dog sat/walked for the residents and attendings at our academic hospital. I have worked with dogs of all ages and sizes, who have had variable care and medical needs. Currently my family (my parents) has three rescues at home. They are my favorites (obviously haha) and you can find Apollo dressed up many times in the pictures up here! The dogs live with them though in a different state (that’s why i clicked no on « do you have any pets). I’m currently a preparing to start my first semester as a full-time grad student; however once the semester begins, my schedule remains highly flexible and will allow me time to engage in pet care! I have a lot of availability on the weekends, but also plenty of time during the weekdays to fit in a walk or to pet sit. While I do believe that socialization is an important part of a pet’s life and development, during my time with them, we will remain to ourselves and avoid interactions with other animals (unless you would like them to engage in that manner). Safety for everyone is one of the most important components to caring for pets, so if you have any rules in place (i.e. crating or off limit areas), I am more than happy to ensure they are followed during our time. One of my former pet parents (and friends) was a certified dog trainer, so I have a lot of experience in adapting to your pet’s lifestyle and giving them the enrichment they need, in a safe manner :)
