Dog Walkers in Louisa, VA

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats and horses since I was 15. I have had pets my whole life. I have owned various breeds of dogs and cats. I have pet sat for all kinds of dogs, cats and horses and look forward to caring for your animals! I've had experience caring for various aged animals and am comfortable with all kinds. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate early mornings, afternoons and evenings throughout the week. I look forward to working with you and meeting your pets! I am willing to accommodate your family's needs in your home. I consider pets family, and will care for them as you would to make them feel the most comfortable while you are away.

About: I began caring for dogs in their homes since I graduated high school at 16. I have owned my own business since then, providing in-home visits, dog walking, boarding, and also worked as a professional dog trainer with Ridgeside K9. I enjoy dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds and temperaments. I currently work a full time job, but I have a rotating schedule and only work 14 days/month. Send me a booking request and I will respond quickly with availability to care for your pet! I have a fenced in yard, and live in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of safe walking options. Dogs that board in my home must be crate trained.

About: I was raised with dogs (shelties, primarily) and now have a hobby farm with goats, dogs (german shepherds, a lab and a sheltie), ducks and a cat. I'm reliable and friendly and happy to follow whatever instruction and routine you need. Your pets will be well cared for and you'll receive plenty of photo updates while you're gone! I have a very flexible schedule, so I am able to accommodate nearly any routine your pet is used to, including frequent walks and potty breaks. I will work with you to keep your pet's schedule as close to what they are used to as possible. If boarding in my home, we have a fenced yard, plenty of area to go on leashed walks, and they will get plenty of one on one attention and care. I'm happy to do transport or add in a bath during your pet's stay so your life can be as simple as possible while you're trying to get out the door for your trip. Pet care is my full time job and priority. I can adapt as needed to make sure your pet keeps the routine they are comfortable with, even when you aren’t home. I will ask questions and take notes on your pets’ routine and then do my best to ensure that those habits are in place with me.

“Highly recommend Nichole. Her communication is top tier, she is incredibly kind and I can tell she treats my dog as her own. She has been very flexible with my recent move and has made me feel comfortable knowing Winston is well cared for. Cannot thank her enough!”

About: I’ve had dogs and other various animals since I was a child. My first job in high school was at a pet boarding facility. While working there my love for animals grew. Ive pet sitted on and off since I left the kennel. I married a man who shared that love and we have 5 furbabies of our own! I’m currently a stay at home mom. I have a kindergartner, a 1 year old and 5 adult dogs. I spend my days taking care of my kids and dogs but wouldn’t have it any other way! My kids love playing with animals. If you choose us, we have all the time in the world to love on your babies! I have a few acres of land with a large fenced in back yard. Lots of room to run and play with our own dogs!

“Joey did fantastic with our two dogs on short notice. He was professional, knowledgeable, and able to handle our reactive dog amazingly!”

About: Hello & thank you for considering me to be your sitter or walker 🫶🏻 My name is Elyza and dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I realize it can be tricky finding a trustworthy sitter nowadays - that’s why I do what I do! I currently own my own petsitting/dog walking business called Za’s Paws LLC - you can check me out on Facebook & Google! I would love to help with your fur babies ❤️ I have plenty of time to spend with your animals while you are away or at work! I drive for Instacart & Amazon part time, so I may be gone for 3-5 hours some days; I will discuss my schedule ahead of time and let you know any time planned to be away. I am 100% comfortable with watching older pups too as long as there is no serious health issues. I will provide any exercise or administer any medication (non-injected) as needed 😊 I would love to schedule a meet and greet with you and your pets! In-house sitting is ideal for any pets that have a set schedule and will help keep them comfortable in an environment they are used to. I have a very strict schedule with my dogs at home and am used to following a schedule. There is a possibility I can be gone for 3-5 hours a day if your pets are okay with being alone for that long. I always ask that you leave me detailed instructions on feeding/care guidelines for your pets and we will discuss care during required meet & greet. If your house does not have a fenced in yard, I am fine with walking your dog on a leash. *Warning: I will NOT walk your dog off a leash even if you tell me your dog is well mannered off a leash. You MUST leave me a leash if you do not have a fence.*

About: I’m an experienced pet sitter willing to care for your pets when you’re unable to. Mature and patient, I am an adult who is reliable and provides attention to detail when caring for your pet. I have lived in Gordonsville for 40+ years and had cats and dogs throughout this time. Prior to providing boarding or pet/house sitting service, I will meet with you and your pet to understand your needs and ensure a good fit for all. I will only board one pet at my house at a time to ensure he/she has a comfortable environment. For day and overnight care, I will provide meticulous notes and/or text messages about feeding, potty breaks, etc. I have experience administering medicine as well as pet/house sitting for multiple pets (up to 20) at the same time. An additional $5 will be added for each drop in visit and walking service, if more than 10 miles from my home. I work from home and have a family of four so someone is almost always home. I try to keep the same routine for your pet as they experience at home. I will take care of your four legged family members like they are my own and provide ongoing text updates and photos throughout their stay.

“Dayton has done an excellent job at taking Theo on his lunch walk during the week and keeping us updated! We are greatful”

About: I have experience with all dogs and grew up working on a farm, caring for an array of livestock to include chickens, goats/sheep, alpacas/llamas, and two sheepdogs. I am willing to feed & care for any other farm animals or exotic pets if requested. I came from a big cat loving family, and would love to come love on yours. I currently work from home which affords me the ability to be pretty flexible with times of days and last minute bookings. If I’m a not available for some dates, please reach out to me to discuss. Due to our new pup (we rescued her Jan 2022) who we are still socializing - we unfortunately are not longer able to offer boarding or do doggy daycare in our home.

About: I have had my own dogs since I was a little girl. We have bred pups. We have shown pups. We are ABKC and UKC registered for our dogs and just love loving our furry family members. I would love nothing more than to make time to help others travel while they have confidence that the animals are safe and loved on! I have a fenced in back yard and can kennel. I am open to options if assisting in anyway for families to be confident that the fur babies are cared for.

About: Hello, I’m Dani, and I love all animals! I have adopted multiple pets of my own from SPCAs. I personally have owned lots of dogs and cats, a few fish, a hedgehog, a turtle, and hamsters. I believe that every animal deserves lots of love and a caring, warm home! I promise to always give my best to your fur (or non-fur) babies and keep them in good hands while you’re away. It’s important for you and your pet to be comfortable with who is taking care of them. I’m comfortable with all ages and sizes of dogs! I’m pretty strong for a woman and have been able to handle all breeds. I am available on the weekends and weekdays. Mornings and evenings before and after work! I can be flexible and work around both of our schedules to see what fits for us both. I work at a spa and a restaurant so my shifts at both places vary greatly. Weekends are usually a 9am-5pm at the spa, but weekday shifts are typically no longer than 6 hours. Pets are always in the best care with me. My own pets even sleep with me and I love pet cuddles! I can be flexible to do whatever you need me to do! I can feed, water, walk, play, and bathe your dog! I’d love to become besties with your pet! I often times catch myself having full on conversations with them 🤣

About: I worked at Louisa County Animal Shelter for 3 years. I am enrolled at Blue Ridge Community College to become a Vet Tech. All dogs are good dogs in my eyes. I am good at clicker training for simply getting a dog to sit or just simply getting there attention. I grew up loving animals they are my passion and I continue to strive to give every animal I come across happiness and the sense of feeling free. Walking and taking care of dogs and cats at the shelter is apart of the job. During a walk I do know what’s good for your four legged best friend and how to get them to calm down if they start to pull or they are excited to go see something. I am able to give medicine if needed orally or through injection. One day I hope to own my grooming/pet hotel business. Along with owning my business I would like to start a shelter for the most misunderstood breed of dogs. I am currently working on a farm with horses, chickens, ducks etc. anything farm wise for feeding I can most certainly do I am good with any type of animal just let me know what you need and I can work with your schedule 🙂. I fit the needs of your best friend to the best of my ability if I’m working at a certain I can take a break and do what needs to be done to make them comfortable I follow the daily routines as if the owners are there and even do a little more to ensure each pet is comfortable in their space.

About: Taking care of dogs or any animal in fact has always been something I really enjoyed from a young age. I started a few years ago just reaching out to friends and family to take care of their pups and I’ve had a blast and want to make it a more every day thing. I just love making dogs as happy as they make me:) Pet care fits perfectly into my routine since I work very part-time and have lots of flexibility. I love being able to plan my days around walks, playtime, and quality time with the pets I care for. I’m also available for overnights, which means I can give pets extra comfort and consistency while their owners are away—it’s something I genuinely enjoy, so it never feels like work! When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they have a safe, clean, and comfortable space with plenty of attention and playtime. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible, including feeding, walks, and any meds they need. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep things consistent for the pet. Whether it’s my home or theirs, I treat every pet like they’re my own—making sure they feel loved, relaxed, and well cared for
