Dog Walkers in Leavells, VA

“Greatly appreciate Jenni, and her quick response communication. She took great care of our pups and would definitely recommend. She cleaned up a pee spot from one of the pups in our home when picking up. 😬”

“Jessica was amazing! She walked my two dogs, a high strung chihuahua and elderly dog (14 y.o.), for 30min for 4 days. She reached out and asked if I wanted her to meet the dogs before walking them which was great. The chihuahua tends to bark his head off at strangers, and I wasn't sure how he'd react (he ended up running away from her the first day for 15min, sorry Jessica). The older dog had diarrhea throughout the house one day, and cleaning up after something like that isn't really what I consider her job. I told her she didn't need to worry about it, and I'd deal with it when I got back. However, she ended up cleaning up as much as she could anyways (that's going to be a big tip). Besides my dogs being a huge pain. She always responded quickly and sent a lot of pictures from the walks.”

About: We provide care in our home and treat your babies like our own. We walk them multiple times a day, love on them, take them on field trips when possible, we spoil them rotten. We can help with crate training, potty training, house Manners etc. We have experience with Senior dogs ( most recent passed this December 2024 at 15 years old). I have had diabetic pets so am willing to administer meds as required. I have volunteered with a local rescue for 4 years now and have fostered for that long as well and have experience dealing with many difficult behaviors like resource guarding, counter surfing and more. Here at Bark n Kuddles we are a husband and Wife team so our dogs are very rarely alone. I teach high school so during the school day my husband takes the pups on walks, and outings and provides play time and snuggle time. When I am home we share the responsibilities and our kids are trained so they love on your babies too but they know boundaries and are very good at being mini pack leaders. The only time your pet would be alone is if we had to go somewhere as a family where dogs could not come but we have two pups of our own to keep them company but again that is rare that someone is not home. We only take one or two clients at a time as we have a small home but we take the dogs out on walks (Distance depends on the dogs need but could be 2 to 3 miles easily) and I have access to a big fenced in yard that my family owns should dogs need off leash time and play time (under our watch at all times of course). We do crate dogs when home alone for their safety and to protect the house but they get yummy kongs with frozen treats and other treats as long as owner is ok with it. We love on them how the pups want to be loved on. If they want to lay next to us we let them. If they prefer to just chill off to the side that's all good too. We also follow all owners instructions whether in our home or yours and give your baby the attention they need to keep them happy and safe while you are gone.

“Willow was great with Lacey. Lacey took to her right away, and I always knew I could count on Willow to make sure she got a great, full-length walk. Her communication was great and she was just a huge help while I was out of town -- I'd definitely book Willow again!”

About: I am a true dog lover. I currently have one lab mix we rescued a year ago. Her name is Oakley. Oakley also is looking forward to having a friend to play with! I will spoil your dog as I spoil mine. They will get extra attention, walks, playing, able to jump on couch and bed! I also volunteer at a local shelter so I am very familiar with many types of dogs and personalities. I am a mom to 4 human kids and 1 dog. Your dog will almost always have someone home with them unless we run out to the store, a family outing, or a children's sports event. If your dog likes to tag along we can take him/her to soccer games as well! If your dog comes to stay with us they will be spoiled. We have a fenced-in yard they can play in, I will also take them on walks either morning or afternoon depending upon weather. They will get to snuggle on the couch or bed. They also will get to play with my 1 year old lab mix who just loves all dogs!

About: I’ve had pets since I was little and now I have 3 dogs, a cat and a bird. I got my certification in highschool. I know a lot on dogs, cats and other small animals I have hair school from 9 am to 3:30 so I can come anytime after that or anytime on weekends . If you need a caretaker for the day on weekends I can do it. I don’t mind taking them for walks too. I can follow any instructions needed for your pet even if they have medications. Pictures of pets can be requested and clients can contact me anytime

“Shyanne was so patient and kind with my dog Ronnie. She paid close attention to all the details and was so nice to talk to. I really appreciated the care she showed. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: I have been on Rover for about 4 years, but I have had dogs my entire life. Recently returning after giving myself time to settle (moved from CA to VA). I absolutely love dogs and plan to open my own dog daycare by the end of 2026🤞🏾! My last dog was a Neapolitan Mastiff, now I have a golden doodle, Lab, and Rat terrier mix, so I have a range of breed and size experience. Also love large dogs, mine gets along well with all and loves interaction with other dogs. I can’t wait to meet your adorable pup! I have lots of toys and a decent sized house with a large fenced yard. My pup loves to play outside, so I will let them out to play frequently. I have an entire front room and basement dedicated as the puppy play areas but they have the ability to free roam whichever floor I am sitting on at that moment☺️. The pups are only allowed upstairs or in my room when I am (for safety reasons.) I work from home 100% of the time! Completely free in between meetings and looking forward caring for your pets while you are away or at work 🙂. I provide flexibility with drop off and pickup times, ranging from 6am to 10pm. My pups are 4 and 5 and very playful, so your pup will get a lot of their energy out by the time you pick up🙂. I have 3 wire crates and 2 heavy duty crates, but encourage you to bring your pups crate (if foldable) so they have their own area that feels like home. I try to mimic sleeping arrangements made at home, whether that is in my room, the dog room, or crated. If your pup is more anxious, I set 1:1 time aside to try to calm them down and relieve as much stress as I can. I also have a calming chews, oils, and scents if needed and will assess as needed. Booking info: I do require meet and greets to ensure the safety of all pets. Pets that are found to be destructive or display aggression toward myself or other pets will not be allowed to book for future stays. I try my best to accommodate all pups, but in doing so I still need to protect myself and all fur babies that stay with me☺️

About: I have always been an animal lover. I grew up with a golden retriever, cats and a bunny. As an adult I still have golden retrievers, currently have 2 and a bunny. Neighbors, friends and family have trusted me to take care of their pets, give them medication, take them to appointments. I am currently a stay at home mom to a 5 year old. I am open anytime week or weekend to care for your fur babies. I will come to your home where your fur babies are comfortable to spend some time with them, feed them, walk them. Whatever they need while you are out.

About: I enjoy being around animals, fur babies are the sweetest. I try my best to make sure they are comfortable around me and not push them to like me right away, I am so use to watching my own pets that now that my dogs have passed I have all this time available. My routine stays the same for me. Providing food water, exercise, walks are amazing for pets to help with their mood. Clear countertops to ensure dogs don’t have access to garage bags, even if I’m in a fence yard supervise pets during outdoor activities. Very mindful of potential hazards. Provide a comfortable environment for the pet.

“Leah is the best!! We have only had her walking for us for a very short time but she is without a doubt one of the best walkers we have ever had.”

About: I have an extnesive history caring for both dogs and cats. While I haven’t been booking through online platforms, I have years of personal and professional experience caring for and getting to know furry friends with a range of different personalities. These sometimes include those with extra needs due to attachment styles and/or medical accommodations. I believe that an animal's health benefits greatly from a loving caregiver, which is what I always strive to be for my clients. As someone with a passion for running and being on my feet, I am fully capable of giving more active dogs the exercise they deserve. If your pet needs a little extra love, I'm the sitter for you! I am currently working self-structured hours as a children’s book illustrator. Pet care is my main priority during my day-to-day, and I'm always excited when it's added to my daily or weekly schedule. I stay vigilant during walks, playtime, and mealtime to ensure the safety of your pet. If possible, I love to play with your pet during our time together, because they are my top priority and I know how much they miss you (as the owner of a very social, affectionate dog, I completely get it)!

I do not offer evening or after dark visits or walks for safety and comfort. I care for pets in their home by following your instructions closely and keeping their routine. I bring my 3 years old son , so I work only with kid-friendly pets. I focus on safety, cleanliness, and making sure your pet feels secure and loved in their familiar space.

About: I'll take care of your pets like they were my own! I've had animals my entire life and treat them like my babies. There is nothing I love more than animals.

About: I have always had dogs around me my entire life as well as other animals. I currently own a 9 month old male lab who is my pride and joy. He lives with his 2 year old lab sister and they get along great. I love spending time with animals and truly know how to take care of them. I’m looking to fill up my spare time taking care of other peoples pets while they are away. I know it’s hard leaving your pet at home so I would be more than happy to take care of it when needed. I normally take my dogs on walks 3-4 times a day and would love to give other pups that opportunity as well. Super excited to start this journey! I work super great hours during the week and have plenty of weekend availability with lots of opportunity to take pets for a walk and let them out for potty breaks Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or staying at yours, I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. I always focus on keeping their routine consistent, making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I stick to any feeding schedules, walking routines, and medication needs, and I make sure to give plenty of playtime and affection. In your home, I respect your space and your pet’s usual habits. I make sure they have everything they need, and I always leave things clean and neat when I go. In my own home, pets have a cozy, quiet space, access to water and toys, and of course, lots of snuggles and attention. I know being away from your pet can be hard, so I always stay in touch with updates and pictures to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
