Dog Walkers in Kernstown, VA

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A True Gem – Like Family to Us and Maximus! We feel incredibly lucky to have found Hannah—she’s not just a dog walker, she’s part of our family. Our dog Maximus is truly our baby (especially now that our kids are grown and out of the house), and knowing that Hannah cares for him with the same love and attention we do means the world to us. Hannah has been with us for over three months now, and in that time she’s become someone we fully trust with our most spoiled and beloved family member. She’s reliable, flexible with our crazy schedule, and always greets Maximus with affection and warmth. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does. Maximus absolutely adores her! She goes above and beyond to make sure he feels cared for when we’re not home, which gives us such peace of mind. We treasure Hannah and everything she does for our family. If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog like their own, look no further. She’s truly one of a kind.”

“Sherry took our menagerie of dogs and cats in stride when she arrived and she handled my dog Duncan with ease during the walk. She obviously loves animals and my dog, who is sometimes shy with strangers, immediately liked her and will be happy to see her the next time she comes. I highly recommend her if you need a good caretaker for your pets.”

“Kimberly is so so sweet and makes sure that my two dogs are well taken care of. She always updates me on when she is going over to take care of them, what they did while she was with them, and always provides cute pictures of them! She is very responsive and professional, I would definitely recommend using her!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a teenager. Whether it be my own dog or someone else’s, I love taking care of animals. In the past, I’ve spent extensive time caring for the pets of friends and neighbors along with my own. I work as a freelancer, so I can make my schedule work for any times! While I am available on weekends, I focus on M-F from 8am-8pm for pet sitting. With my own dog, I’m very protective and make sure she is safe and gets the care she needs. That is no different with other dogs. Whenever I’m watching a pet, I always make sure to keep them safe and give them the best time!

“Mariah did a great job with Lulu. Took extra care since it was her first visit and Lulu took a minute to warm up. I love to thorough feedback!!”

“Christopher and Leslie are professional, they're skilled at handling dogs, and my dogs love them. Even our two very shy dogs warmed up to them quickly. (And my cats, who were not part of the booking, also were happy to say hi to them. They're obviously cat people, too!) They were happy to accommodate some last-minute changes to the bookings, which I appreciated very much. I will definitely book them again when I need help.”

About: I was born into a home with canine sisters and grew up with both cats and dogs. While I love all sorts of dogs, I have spent most of my life caring for cats. I also have training in cat and dog first aid. I'm a professor, and I travel to RI once per week. The remainder of the time, I work from home, libraries, and cafes, so I have plenty of time to hang out and play with your kitties or pups. I can also take breaks for walks throughout the day, as I mostly set my own schedule. I will interact with your fur babies on their own terms. For kitties, this might mean lots of cuddling and playing or hanging out and talking from across the room until they feel comfortable with me. I send pictures and updates at least once from every visit. Most of my recent dog experience with dogs has been with friends' pitties, which has always involved playing a lot. I am unfortunately unable to board animals at this timem

“Rob is awesome and we see it in our dogs reaction when he arrives to walk her. I work from home and unable to exercise her due to my schedule, but Rob is always punctual and considerate while I’m on the phone when he picks up and drops off our 95 lb lapdog. We highly recommend him.”
