Dog Walking Lignum

About: I've consistently had at least one cat and dog in my household at all times, if not two! I took Small Animal Care 1&2 in high-school. Durring summer breaks I went to horse camp where we learned how to safely handle, ride, and groom horses. I occasionally take care of my neighbors chickens when they go on vacation. I am currently working part-time and my schedule is made on a monthly basis. I'm available most weekends and weekdays after 1pm. Can do early mornings and late potty breaks. The house I live in has a large front yard and a larger backyard. It is unfenced but in a safe neighborhood that's perfect for walking

“Katie does an amazing job with my dog! She asks detailed questions and makes sure she knows all about my dog’s quirks. Highly recommend her and my dog loves her!”

“Ronda was great and went above and beyond. We needed to book last minute, and she did a meet and greet the same day. Ronda was thorough which put our minds at ease that our baby was well looked after.”

About: Hi there! With over 10 years of equine handling experience and many years of caring for dogs and other pets, I’ve learned that good pet care is about more than just showing up. It’s about paying attention, being reliable, and taking the time to understand each animal as an individual. I love getting to know their personalities, routines, and little quirks so I can make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of pets, whether they’re energetic, shy, senior, anxious, or somewhere in between. I’m very attentive to body language and changes in behavior, and I’m always happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you leave for me. I believe patience, consistency, and a little extra attention can make a big difference in how comfortable a pet feels with someone new. I also know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for your pets. I value clear communication and will keep you updated throughout your booking, whether that’s through Rover cards, photos, or a quick message about how things are going. My goal is for you to be able to enjoy your time away without having to worry about whether your pets are being taken care of. Whether you need a quick drop-in, regular walks, an extended house sit, or care for your farm animals, I’m happy to help. I treat every animal I care for with the same patience, kindness, and respect I would give my own. Rates are not set in stone, and I’m happy to work with you when I can to make sure your pets get the care they deserve. I work part-time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule throughout the week and on weekends. This allows me to work around different routines and give your pets the time and attention they need without feeling rushed. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules when I can, and I do my best to keep my availability flexible for my clients. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m mindful of both the animals and the space they’re in. I always approach each visit with safety in mind, making sure doors and gates are secure, following feeding and care instructions carefully, and paying attention to anything that seems out of the ordinary. I also try to be aware of each pet’s behavior and body language so I can respond appropriately if something seems different or unusual. I understand that having someone come into your home to care for your pets is a big responsibility, and I treat that trust with respect. I’ll take care of your home as I would my own and make sure your pets receive the attention and care they need while you’re away. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care while giving you peace of mind that both your pets and your home are being looked after.

“Melissa was great. My dog doesn’t always walk well for new people and he took to her right away. She took the time to come by for a meet and greet and we were really impressed!”

About: I have two dog of my own, a cat and any farm animals. I’ve handle animals age ranging from 15+ to freshly born. I’ve also taken care of canines with different medical conditions (cancer, diabetes, etc). My eldest pup currently has stage 2 kidney diseases I’m a stay at home mom. I do put my 3/4 of my kiddos on the bus and have to been home to get them off. The youngest is with me. I have 5 areas, my eldest pup is leash only. We go on long walks in the woods all the time. My youngest pup is very well trained, we take him just about everywhere when we have the chance.

About: I have had pets all my life. Right now I have a rescue dog from China and another dog I just adopted from the culpeper shelter! I have 2 cats as well. One of my cats is a tripod therefore needs extra attention. The other cat is an orange boy so you know he’s a handful. I am in between jobs so I have plenty of time watch your pup! My husband also works from home 2 days a week. NO CHILDREN in the home. I have a very large quiet yard to let your dog out to play (fenced in) . I have room to set up crates and food stations. Must be friendly towards other dogs and ok with being crated during bedtime.

About: With the exception of a few years during college, I have always had animals in my life! I grew up always having a cat and a dog in the house and taking progressively more responsibility for their care as I got older. Now, I'm owned by two dogs (a boxer mix and a lab mix) and two cats, one of which followed my boxer and I home one day and decided to stay. They are by far the best part of my day. With all these fur babies, I've run the gauntlet of pet care challenges, from pilling cats, to dealing with allergies, to working on behaviors like marking and excessive barking. I don't claim to have it all figured out, but what I do know is that it's made me incredibly patient and compassionate with any animals in my care. Plus I've learned a trick or two along the way! I currently work for myself (from home) as a research consultant. While I do have periodic meetings throughout the week, I usually have a significant amount of flexibility in my schedule during the mornings and afternoons. I often find myself going out on multiple long walks throughout the day and generally finding any excuse I can to be outside. So why not use that time to hang out with some new animal friends? My flexible schedule means that I can accommodate most any pet needs. I go for multiple walks every day both on my own and with my own dogs, so it's easy to incorporate lots of activity in your pet's day. I also have an enclosed front porch that we all love sitting outside in the shade on, just enjoying the fresh air. And on hot days, I even have a kiddie pool that one of my dogs likes to play in to cool off. Both my dogs are very friendly and would love to make new friends! One of my cats even enjoys horsing around with the dogs. My dogs have free reign in the house, but usually hang out with me. I'm happy to have your dog(s) make themself at home as well or to crate them if that's your preference.
