Dog Walkers in Linville, VA

“Catherine has been taking our large pup on walks a few days per week and it’s been such tail wagging fun! Thanks for the adventures and care, Catherine!”

“Everytime Lilly has taken care of my animals, she has done an excellent job. She always shows up on time, and provides a level of care that exceeds all of my expectations. I have never had an issue with her as she is a natural animal lover. I would recommend her to anyone in the community as well as friends or family. Whoever she pet sits for will be lucky to have their animals in her care.”

“Morgan has been an exceptional caretaker and sitter for my dog ever since I started using her as my sitter 4 years ago. She takes great care to ensure the safety and health of my dog and keeps me updated if there is anything I should know. She's the best sitter I've ever had and I wouldn't trust my dog with anyone else. 5 stars, 10/10, the best!”

“Jesse has really helped us out with Lucy, and has been able to handle her perfectly. Love his attention to any potential concerns and relay information about her walks. He has also been accommodating when we’ve needed short-notice visits.”

“Lydia did a great job walking Zorro. Zorro came back from his walk feeling happy and tired!”

“Kat is the most caring, loving, and compassionate person I’ve ever seen with pets. I would trust her to take care of mine any day!”

About: I have decades of animal care experience, working with cats, dogs, and multiple other species. I currently own and operate a rabbitry. I have worked at multiple dog kennels, including free run facilities, and have worked at the SPCA and the Virginia zoo in Norfolk, Virginia. Let me know what your needs are, and we will see if I can accommodate your needs, as my schedule is very open and flexible. My pet care is very custom tailored to your needs and your pet’s needs, let me know what you need and what your pet prefers. I have 4 dogs that stay exclusively in the back part of the home and have access to the backyard. Doggies I am sitting stay exclusively in the front part of the home and have access to the front yard, so there is non interaction between my dogs. My dogs are friendly with other dogs but this arrangement just makes it easier and more comfortable for yours = )

About: Hello! My name is Ashley and I am so excited to be able to work, play, & take care of your furry friends. A little bit about me: I have children of my own; one 11 year old named Jovi and a 7 year old named Presley and an 5 month old named Jagger.Our family loves and adores animals. Our home is VERY dog friendly and so am I. We have a 9ft privacy fence so any dogs are free to roam in our backyard. I am available to watch, play, in, walk, & take care of your dog. Please feel free to ask me any questions and I'll be able to answer them swiftly! We currently have 1 dog of our own! an Irish wolfhound ! As well as 1 sweet cat I rescued. I am currently a stay at home mom/animal mom and a able to have a lot of flexibility with your schedule. I always ask for a 10 minute heads up with pickups and drop offs so I can cage my animals that typically free roam. I have a fully fenced yard and a doggy of my own to keep your doggy entertained! If they are easily over stimulated I can elevate them or provide a quiet environment as well. I am currently a stay at home mom so can devour all of my attention to the supervision of every animal in my home, which is really what makes me happy! I have a fenced yard for my dogs as well as yours. Other dogs must be dog friendly as well:) I also love to take walks and let the dogs roam with me in the garden in the morning :)

“Anna would be a wonderful addition to your staff of pet sitters and dog walkers. She not only loves our four legged friends and spending time with them but she is reliable and can be trusted with a family's pet. She pays attention to detail and will be in tune with the individual needs of each pet. She will be attentive to each animal in her care and will be a reliable employee for your service. I highly recommend Anna Plessing to you.”

“I highly recommend Alyssa as a pet sitter/dog walker. Alyssa loves animals. She is hard working, responsible, caring, kind,dedicated and reliable. She we will treat your pets as if they were her own. Pet sitting and dog walking has been her job while she is home from college. Also willing to take a job on short notice.”

“Dylan has pet sit for us on multiple occasions and has done an amazing job for us. The most recent time our one dog had hurt his leg before we went out of town. We didn't want to leave him but we had to go to this wedding. Dylan did a great job of caring our dog up and down the steps to prevent further injury, giving him his medicine and sending us pictures to keep us updated on our dogs. He bonded so quickly with both of our dogs and even our shy dog was quick to warn up to him and roll over for belly rubs. I would highly recommend Dylan.”

“Malachi is a careful and kind individual who will put your pet first. He is knowledgeable about the needs of your pet and will properly care for your pet. In addition, he is very respectful, responsible, and always on time.”

About: Hi there! I'm Carrie. I have been a pet owner and caretaker for over 15 years! I am experienced in walking, feeding, and otherwise caring for several types of pets. I currently own a cat and a dog, but I can also care for rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish! My main option here is dog walking, but I can also do drop-in visits as needed. I currently work part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your animals and take them for walks. I am available most weekends for drop-in visits, and I will house sit as needed! I will ensure that dogs remain safely leashed during all walks. If the temperature of asphalt is too warm for walks I make sure to stick to grassy areas. I ensure that I know current vet care and contact numbers for emergency situations.

About: I have tons of personal experience coming from a dog loving family, and I have also spent time volunteering at local shelters! I will adjust myself to fit your dog’s temperament and personality to ensure the best possible experience for them. I love hiking, walking, playing all types of sports, and I will gladly give your fur babies all of the exercise and cuddles they want. I have 2 dogs of my own, a senior dachshund mix and a Great Dane with anxiety. You can be guaranteed I will love any animal as it’s my own <3 I work 7pm-3am on Saturday, and 6pm-1am Sunday through Tuesday. I have class 9:30am-12:30pm on Tuesday and Thursday. Aside from that, I am pretty open and I will do my best to fit in walks when needed! I am really comfortable with all dogs and cats, so I have no problem tending to any special needs or those that may just need extra time. My own dog has anxiety and I understand the need for patience, comfort, and love around new people or environments. I’ll be happy to follow any special instructions and/or training habits that you would like for your pets. I tend to carry a treat pouch for the sake of training, distractions, and trust building if that’s something you would be okay with, I of course would not give anything unwanted. I am open to any questions you may have to see if I’m a good fit!

“Kayla watched my cats and small dog while I was on vacation. She was excellent with communication and sending photos and took great care of my furbabies while I was away! Would definitely recommend and use her in the future.”

“Larisa was a fantastic dog walker! My dog Bentley is a handful at times to walk but she had no problem with him. She was very punctual on picking him up for his walks and always shared a picture. We are so happy with Larisa we have her coming in July for our next vacation! She is the best!”

“Samantha was awesome!! She went above and beyond to take care of my two dogs while I was away. First time having her watch them, will not be the last. Thank you so much!!”

About: I've had dogs my entire life, and have been pet sitting my neighbors and friends cats and dogs for over 10 years. I love getting to know new pets, and I'm excited to meet yours! I am currently a part time student and part time CNA, and can easily fit quick or long pet visits and care into my schedule. I have lots of experience in caring for dogs, and have recently gotten more experience with cats. I am willing to work with the client to find what is best for them and their pet.

“Baylor is a gem! Responsible, prompt and our puppy seems to really like her! We will definitely be repeat clients! Thanks!”

“Anna is amazing!! My dog absolutely loves her and so do I! She is always on time and if she can’t be she lets me know ahead of time!”
