Dog Walkers in Leavells, VA

“Jenni was FANTASTIC with my crazy girl! Despite the challenges Ravin posed (dog reactive, jumping in creeks, etc) Jenni was very good to her and was a great asset! Will definitely reuse her!”

“Jessica is very sweet and took the time to let our dog warm up to her. She took great care of our pup and kept us updated on the walk from when she got there until the end. We would definitely use her again for the future!”

About: I’ve grown up caring for multiple dogs and currently help care for four dogs at home, including one with a paralyzed esophagus who requires extra attention and specialized feeding care. Through this experience, I’ve become very patient, responsible, and comfortable following detailed care instructions. I also have experience with walking, feeding, administering routines, and making pets feel safe and comfortable. I truly love animals and understand how important it is for pet owners to trust the person caring for them. I’m currently on summer break, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, dropins, boarding, and overnight stays. I’m reliable with feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, and making sure pets get lots of attention, exercise, and love while their owners are away. I have experience caring for multiple dogs, including one with a paralyzed esophagus who requires extra attention and specialized care. Because of this, I’m very patient, detail oriented, and comfortable following strict feeding or medication instructions. I always prioritize safety, supervision, and making pets feel comfortable and loved in both my home and my client’s home.

“She’s amazing! She keeps me updated the whole time and gives my dog water or anything else she needs before she leaves.”

About: I have cared for dogs and cats for many years and have a true love for animals. As a pet owner myself with 2 dogs. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and caring to look after your furry family members. Animals have always been wonderful companions in my life, and I enjoy providing them with love, attention, exercise, and care while helping pet owners feel at ease. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or companionship, I treat every pet like they are my own. I currently work from home. I am free and able to care for your animal 2-3 times a day within short distance. On the weekends further distance. I provide loving, attentive, and reliable care for pets both in my home and in my client’s home. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive daily exercise, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routines, and any special instructions provided by the owner to help them feel safe and comfortable. In my client’s home, I help maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress while also keeping the home clean and secure. During walks and visits, I prioritize safety, patience, and positive interaction so every pet feels cared for and loved while their owner is away.

“Brianna was great! We did a meet and greet beforehand, and I could immediately tell she was someone I could trust with my dogs. She was very attentive, followed all my instructions, and kept me updated throughout the week with messages and pictures. Communication was easy the whole time, and it gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing the pups were in good hands while I was at work. I’d definitely book with her again in the future.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for 10 years, whether mine or those belonging to family. I have trained puppies as well as taken care of my dogs that have reached their golden years, and helped them over the rainbow bridge. My top two priorities are communication and safety. Any need you have regarding your pet is of utmost importance because pets aren’t just animals - they’re family! I have two dogs at home, one is 1 1/2 years old and the other is nearly 4. We walk 3 times daily, as well as plenty of enrichment time inside. Enrichment depends on the day, it can be playing with toys, eating treats from snuffle mats, lick mats, or just running around with them until they’re as tired as I am! Safety is my biggest priority. I follow instructions very carefully, I keep a close eye on your fur babies both in the house and outside. I can send real time updates that way you know exactly what is going on at all times, and I will always make sure to ask questions when needed. I can recreate your pets routine as closely as possible, and I will always bring positive energy!

“Always does a great job, very reliable and great communication”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was very young, I grew up my whole life with dogs and cats, of all ages (puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats), I absolutely love animals, and am flexible to adjust to your pets specific needs 😊 I am currently working as a Private Investigator part time, and am joining the Marine Corps, however, I know my schedule in advance and am pretty much 100% free whenever you need someone to look after your baby! I am very flexible and understand that pets can be spontaneous sometimes! I am able to adjust to whatever you and your pets needs are!

“Lana was incredibly patient with our not-fully socialized dog. She truly has a love and passion for our pets. It is a beautiful thing to see. Thank you for everything!”

About: I’ve always had pets my whole life of all different kinds. I’m patient and playful with animals. I have cared for mostly seniors and puppies. I currently sit a senior Boxer with arthritis so I have experience with administering meds and providing comfort. I’m working with only one family with three dogs right now, so my availability is pretty open! I also do well with a lot of pets, as I live on a small homestead. I do best in a client’s home as I believe it makes the pet the most comfortable. I also have too many animals in my personal home to feel comfortable allowing my animals to interact with other pets. My pig isn’t the biggest fan of dogs these days. I prefer a backyard when possible so I have space to play with your buddy, but I also love a long walk. Whatever is most convenient and comfortable, I can work with just about anything.

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.

About: I've been a pet owner for 30 years and have been a part of a dog rescue for the past 5 years where I have fostered and adopted out over 10 dogs. I currently have two dogs and a cat who are used to visiting animals in and out of the house. I'm currently working part time so I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I can provide boarding any day of the week, dog walks , and drop in visits as needed around my work schedule. While I'm home the animals are free roam and are welcome in any room in the house . However if there is a concern with cat reactivity i can block off an area where visiting dogs cannot get to cat area. At night pets are kenneled in their own 4x4 foot kennel space.

About: I've been taking care of my dogs for as long as I can remember. I always make sure to feel out the dogs I'm with and treat every dog with their own specific set of needs. I have exience with anxious dogs, intensely active dogs, brushing my pet Pyranese and many other types of dogs. Please let me know as soon as possible when you'll be needing care so I can fit it into my schedule. Despite trying my best to be as flexible as possible for people, I often have people ask for a sitter and then ghost me. If you do not need services from me or change your mind let me know as soon as possible. I will not reschedule meet and greets. I can do a lot of interactive playing with dogs that need to and am very good at tiring dogs out with walks that include allowing them to experience all the sensory things they want. Sometimes I take my own dog to fields. Or if a dog is looking for attention if just to be left alone I can do that too.
