Dog Walking Kings Grant

“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful! My husband and I had a weekend trip planned and my 86yr old mom had just moved in with us again. I booked Stephanie to walk the dog 2x a day for 4 days. Not only was she always on time, she watched out for my mother as well and made sure I knew she was doing OK. I'll be booking every future need with Stephanie as long as she is available!”

“Need someone who can provide 5-star service for your pup? Meagan is the one for you!! She went above and beyond to love on our anxious German Shepherd while we were away. We were able to fully unwind knowing he was in such good hands! Each day, we received timely descriptions and photos of his exercise and playtime routines, as well as updates for weather changes. Never once did we have to wonder if he was getting enough attention, and he was a very happy guy when we came home! We'd 100% book Meagan again and highly recommend her for your pet care needs!!”

“Dalton is wonderful! My Rosie just loves when he comes to visit her. He is so sweet and attentive with her and takes care of her like his own.”

About: Pets have always been part of my life — from my family’s Cockapoo to our Maltese/Yorkie mix, plus a few cat-sitting adventures for friends. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in capable and caring hands. I work from home and have a flexible schedule to check on your pet any time of day. I follow your instructions closely to maintain their routine. I understand the importance of consistent routines, safety, and trust. I will do my best to keep your pet comfortable and safe. I am neat and will leave your space just as I found it.

About: I’ve had numerous pets over the years and LOVED them all. I would love to help take care of yours if you need help. Flexible schedule! I work for myself and as an XRay Technologist in the Tidewater area with a very flexible schedule so I can accommodate most requests that you or your pet(s) may need. I have built my career taking care of people in the healthcare settings and carry that professionalism and courtesy and safety in everything I involve myself in.

“Briana was absolutely incredible with Milo and Hera this weekend! From meet and greet, I knew they were in great hands. Her communication was flawless—she kept us updated with photos and check-ins the entire time, which really let us relax and enjoy our trip. It’s clear she truly loves animals. We will definitely be booking with Briana again!”

About: I've been a lover of animals all my life and have worked with service dogs in training. I will treat animals as if they are my own! I am an architecture college student staying in Va Beach for the summer! I have total availability to give any and all pets the love and time that they need. I will not be able to care for pups in my home. I have spent the spring semester training a pup to eventually become a service dog!

About: Hello! My name is Danielle and I've been caring for pets my entire life! I have been raising, training, and pampering my own babies for the past 10 years and providing local services to friends and neighbors. I'm highly experienced with all dog sizes, especially giant breeds (the bigger the better!). I can provide boarding, sitting, training, walking, grooming, specialized feeding, medication administering, and even first-aid if needed. I even have experience with pet hospice care through a local shelter. A little more about me personally: I have 3 dogs, including 2 Great Danes and a Golden Retriever. I also have 3 very demanding cats. So you know I'm well-versed in handling the crazy, and will treat your baby just like my own! Pets are the center of my world and yours will be too. I work from home and can provide round-the-clock care and attention during boarding and daycare. I'm currently working part time and looking for additional pet care opportunities to fill my days, since it's something I truly enjoy doing. I have a large house with gated rooms for separation, medium and giant sized crates if needed, and a large backyard with a 6 foot brand-new fence. The upstairs is gated off for the cats' comfort (and so they can watch and judge from above). In my home, I allow animals on the furniture, unless you wish me to keep up with training that teaches them otherwise. And I have gated feeding areas and an entire pet first-aid cabinet in my kitchen for emergency situations. Water bowls are provided inside and out, and dogs are supervised when outside. In client homes, I like you to set the rules. I'm happy to go about treating your babies as I would in my own home, but if you have specifications you'd like me to follow, I'm more than happy to learn what those are and follow them for your needs.

“Tamra is wonderful. As soon as she arrived my dog took right to her as if they were long lost friends. Due to his reaction to her, I felt completely safe having her take Mouse out for a walk. I am looking forward to continuing weekly (if not bi-weekly) walks with Tamra.”

About: Hello, my name is Deanna. I have had dogs and cats my entire life, and I have 4 years of professional animal handling experience. I’ve been managing a doggy daycare and boarding facility in Virginia Beach for 3 years, and worked as a kennel attendant at the same place for 1 year prior to stepping into management. I’ve handled dogs of all sizes, temperaments, ages, and medical needs. In addition to dog handling I have also had hands on experience with cats and birds/reptiles/and small mammals. I am familiar with dog and cat first aid, and comfortable+knowledgable on administering medications and injectables such as insulin. I am leaving my full time animal care job to start school, and that gives me the ability to set my own schedule and continue to work with animals. I have my own 3 pets, 2 of them being reactive rescues, one of which I have fully obedience trained myself. I am very comfortable going slow with nervous dogs, and handling big excited dogs! I love working with animals and I hope you consider me to care for your pets. I am starting school in the fall, but only have morning/evening classes so I am free early mornings/ mid afternoons/ and evenings. I will be very open in communications with you as far as scheduling and availability. I have managed a facility of over 100+ dogs for the last several years, so I would go into it with the experience I’ve gained from working within this field. Ensuring there is nothing unsafe within reach of the pets in your home when no one is there, following your directions to a T for your care preferences, and communicating with owners to ensure and safe and comfortable environment for your pets whether it’s in home sitting or just walks.

About: I volunteered at a local vet clinic through high-school and college so I'm familiar with basic pet care. I've worked with large and small breeds and enjoy pets of all kinds! I'm even down with spiders, I just wont take them for walkies. I'm an elementary school teacher, so I'm free after 3 on weekdays. I'm off on the weekend and when public schools are closed. Let's play! I'm not nosey, or judgemental. Life be lifing sometimes- I don't care if your house is spotless and don't expect it to be. I've got two kids, two dogs and a husband- my house looks like it! I've never met a pet I didn't immediately want to play with and take care of, and pets tend to feel the same way about me.

About: I have owned dogs since I was 14. I currently have 2 dogs of my own. I also volunteer with animals and have dog sat for several friends over the years. I love cats but have not babysat any, only loved them at others homes. I currently work full time but mostly from home. Some days I am out in the world but usually for no more than 6 hours at a time. Majority of work hours are Monday - Friday 8-5 Pets have free range at home unless they need to be crated. Have a fenced in backyard and can also walk dogs if preferred. Large neighborhood to walk them around. Also have a responsible teenage daughter who can help with feedings and bathroom breaks. Trash can is in the pantry for little to no access.

“Bailey looked forward to her walks. Casey always kept in touch with me.”

About: I provide compassionate and trustworthy pet care and treat every pet as if they were my own. Your fur baby’s happiness and comfort are always my top priority I know how important it is to feel at peace when leaving your pet, and I’m here to help with that. I currently have free full time availability as I am taking online college classes, I am available anyday anytime Monday-Sunday to help love and care for your pets. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. I follow all feeding instructions carefully, make sure they always have fresh water, give medications if needed, and keep their space clean. (I used to work in a veterinary office.) I spend quality time with them through walks, playtime, and gentle attention so they don’t feel lonely or stressed. I also watch closely for any changes in behavior or health and communicate updates to the owner so they feel at ease.

“Hailey has been so good and patient with my 1 year old Dobi. He loves her and is always so excited to see her!!! I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

About: I've loved dogs and cats my whole life and I have a good reproir with them. As a Rover sitter, I think it is important to give them lots of love and attention, and to keep them safe. A good sitter always keeps in mind how important people's pets are to them, and should make them feel at ease while they are away, and confident that thier babies are in good hands by communicating with them regularly and meeting all of thier needs. I have many repeating clients, and thier pets have become like family members to me over the years. We are always happy to see each other, but also sad when it's time to leave. My most cherished achievement was when I trained my friend's Dotson (Titus) with a fun snack-training system and prepared him for the dog Olympics tournament in Ohio, in which he came first place. I taught Titus to jump and spin, dance and roll-over and etc by directing his motions with the snack and repeating the commands until the snacks were no longer necessary. I used three brands of treats: Bronze treats (hard food); silver treats (soft dog snacks); and gold treats (a piece of white meat. It took a lot of repetition and patience, but after a couple of months, he became the most clever and talented dog i've ever trained. I also taught him to sing "Walk Like A Man" by The 4 Seasons. I work part-time in the early evening at Bach To Rock, which makes it easy to feed the dogs in the morning and at night. I also get gaps in my teaching schedule which allows me to drop in and take them for a walk or let them out if necessary. I also substitute teach which allows me to make my own schedule and that makes it easier for me to spend plenty of time taking care of people's pets when I have bookings. My other job is very close by so commuting is convenient as well. The safety and well-being of the pets is my top priority. Their emotional well-being is important too. Dogs get anxious and even depressed when their owners leave so it's my job to keep them comfortable and entertained. When I'm staying at a client's house, I make sure to keep doors shut and stay mindful when going in and out so they don't run out or get into anything they're not supposed to. I always make sure to ask about the layout of the house and the backyard, so they cant run off. When I'm walking them, I avoid stopping and talking with other people who are walking their pets, and I always make sure I know how their leash or harness goes on so they don't slip out of it. And then if they take meds, I set an alarm on my phone with a reminder note.

“Monique is amazing! She is great with animals and you can tell that she really cares for them. I would recommend Monique to anyone...she gives me piece of mind when I do not have the time to give my dog the time and attention that he deserves.”
