Dog Walkers in Kingsville, VA

About: My love of dogs started about 5 years ago when I rescued my first dog. Since then, I have acquired a load of knowledge not only in how to care for them, but also how to train them. I can provide mental and physical stimulation for your furry friend and bring most of my own equipment - I can also use the tools your pet is most familiar with. I can assess your pet to determine what your pet may need for stimulation, make suggestions for daily care, and learn at least some of their body language. My dogs and I are always interacting whenever I'm home, but most of our intentional fun/training happens for about 2-3 hours each day outdoors. This includes both training and walking. I also help some of my friends train their dogs whenever our schedules allow. I believe your dog should ALWAYS be in training and you can make almost any situation a training opportunity. Your pets can be treated as my own and/or according to your specific instructions. Do you have multiple dogs that need to be separated? No problem. Can your dogs be together but need to be supervised so tension doesn't continue to build? I got you covered there too! Does your dog pull too much on walks, need to learn how to act in-doors? I can work with your dog on those things as well in addition to other things!

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and got my own dog when I was 14. Now there are 3 dogs at my house that I take care of during the day. I am attentive to the behavior of dogs and have a general understanding of it. I currently work at a museum on Monday and Tuesday, and am free any other time during the week. I am also a college student, and will be going back to school in late August. I will go on walks, play games and give your dog plenty of attention. Considering I have three dogs at my house, I am not comfortable bringing a client’s dog to my house in case there is a bad reaction to each other.

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, starting with the many pets I grew up with. Over the years, I’ve gained experience house sitting and pet sitting for families and friends, ensuring their pets were happy and well cared for. While I still currently house sit for those with pets, I also work on a farm, where I handle a wide range of animals daily, further strengthening my skills and dedication to animal care! I’m a college student with a part-time job, and I excel at multitasking. Spending time with animals is not only enjoyable for me but also a great way to unwind. I’m available for regular walks, house sitting, and multiple daily check-ins, as well as overnight stays. With my short work shifts and a flexible class schedule, I can easily accommodate your pet care needs. Pets' safety is always my top priority when pet sitting. Ensuring a pet’s safety in their own home requires attentiveness and preparation. I carefully follow owner’s instructions, supervise the pet closely, and make sure the environment is free of hazards. I keep emergency contacts on hand, monitor the pet for signs of stress, and am prepared to act quickly if needed. I've also worked with many anxious pets in the past so I understand that they may need a little more care and closeness. With a focus on security and comfort, I provide consistent care while keeping owners updated for peace of mind.

About: I've had dogs since I can remember. My fiancé watched dogs in the past with rover and I would always help. Take the dogs to the park on my days off, play outside, and train them when needed. I am currently on veterans disability so I can focus my whole day to your furry friend. No worry about being stuck in all day. I have 5 acres of yard for them to play on. I have lots of space if needed, room for crates, room outside. Plenty of space so your furry friend won't feel trapped. My animals mind their own.

About: I have been a dog lover all of my life and know how important their care is. Dogs are just part of the family! I love getting to know each dogs personality and figure go above and beyond to consider the needs of a variety of pups. I have a flexible schedule allowing me to provide constant care for your pup. I am interested in meeting and caring for all types of dogs, big/small, puppy or seniors! I can be as flexible as possible and will be honest about your pup’s care. I will treat your fur-babes like part of the family. We have a fenced in yard and If your pup is more comfortable as part of the pack, they are invited in to have the run of the house with our family dogs. We love dogs and will try to accommodate any special requests. Available to check in on your pups every 4 hours (m-f) and spend weekends all day with your dogs! I can check in with your pups every 3-4 hours during the day and be there to stay after 4 pm. I prioritize feeding and potty schedules to make sure there are little to no changes in their routines. I care for your pets like they are my own. Figuring out they’re behaviors and personalities is important to me. Some dogs need lots of love and attention and others like their space, either way they’ll be in great hands.

About: I have taken care of dogs for a very long time. All ages and all sizes. I have administered medicine to elderly dogs, and have cleaned up after puppies! I am comfortable with all sizes and all ages. I also do not have a limit on amount of dogs. One family I pet sit for has 4 dogs and a lot of energy, it’s always a great time! I am currently a student in the Longwood University nursing program. I love to spend my weekends helping out with any pet services! Animals are a great passion of mine. When I care for pets I love to spend a lot of time with them. I usually start by playing with them and letting them potty to get their energy out. Once they’ve calmed down I like to sit and pet them and just give them all the attention they want. I want to make sure the pets are happy and content!

About: What sets me apart from all sitters is my deep depth for all animals. As a child, I have always developed a love for animals. My love and compassion for animals spilled over into the education field working with students with special needs. Presently, I have four rescue cats, two classroom guinea pigs, and four dogs, one of which is a rescue. I volunteer with my country's animal shelter, and I have fostered and saved many animals. My love for critters is endless. I am a teacher, so teachers do not work in the summer. However, I do work teaching summer school and a camp in June. I can work evenings and remain overnight. I have the entire month of July off. My children are grown, so my schedule is flexible. I can provide references. I live in a secluded area, so when I am home, they have free range. My dogs are leash trained. During the day when I am home, they remain in a crate. I live six minutes from work, so they arent in their crates all day. My oldest daughter lives with me, so when I am away, they are taken care of.

“Chris takes wonderful care of my sweet fur babies. They enjoy the long walks and exercise!”
