Dog Walking Lynchburg

“I am so thankful for Shannon! She gives my pup the quick exercise that she needs while I'm at work. She's very easy to communicate with and sends me great updates! My furbaby loves her walks with Shannon.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for decades, and caring for them comes very naturally to me. My experience goes well beyond simply loving dogs and cats. Over the years, I have cared for my own animals as well as pets and livestock belonging to others, including dogs of different ages and personalities, cats, horses, poultry, rabbits and a variety of farm animals. I currently provide professional drop-in animal care through my own local farm and pet-care business, where I care for clients’ animals in their homes and follow the routines their families have established for them. One of the things I believe matters most when caring for someone else’s animal is paying attention. I take the time to notice an animal’s normal behavior, appetite, mobility, surroundings and general demeanor. If something seems unusual, I communicate with the owner rather than simply completing the visit and moving on. I’m comfortable with senior animals, young and energetic pets, multiple-pet households and animals that simply need a little extra patience while they get comfortable with someone new. During visits, I believe pets deserve more than food in a bowl and a quick trip outside. I enjoy spending time with them, giving them attention, playing, walking, providing plenty of affection when they want it, and helping maintain the routine they’re accustomed to while their family is away. I also understand how important communication is when you’re trusting someone with your animals and your home. I provide updates so you’ll know how your pet is doing and can have peace of mind while you’re away. Above all, I treat the animals entrusted to me the way I would want someone to treat my own—with patience, kindness, attention and respect. I have a flexible daytime schedule that allows me to incorporate pet-care visits throughout my workday. I already provide recurring drop-in care for clients and plan my schedule around their established routines whenever possible. I’m available for both recurring weekday visits and occasional care when families are working, traveling or simply need an extra set of hands. Because I manage my own schedule, I can often accommodate morning, midday and afternoon visits with advance notice. I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, water, potty routines, walks, medications when appropriate, doors, gates, crates and household access. I pay close attention to both your pet and their surroundings during every visit. If I notice a change in behavior, appetite, mobility or anything else that concerns me, I will communicate with you promptly. I also respect that every animal is different—some want lots of attention and affection, while others need patience and space before they feel comfortable. Your pet’s safety, your home’s security and clear communication with you are always priorities during my visits.

About: Hi, I’m Danielle. I provide dog walking and drop-in visits throughout Bedford County for families who need reliable, consistent care while they’re at work or away from home. Visit times may occasionally need a little flexibility—especially on busier days or when travel between appointments takes longer than expected. I always make sure every pet receives the full care and attention they deserve. Over the past several years, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet is different, and I do my best to follow your routines closely so your pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a structured walk, playtime in the yard, feeding, or just some extra attention during the day, I’m happy to help. I also provide drop-in visits for cats, making sure litter boxes are clean, meals are given on schedule, and they get interaction at their comfort level. I focus on creating a calm, dependable experience for both pets and their owners. You can expect clear communication, thoughtful care, and updates during each visit so you always know how things are going. I’m grateful to have built long-term relationships with many local pet families over the years, and I look forward to continuing to care for wonderful pets throughout Bedford County. If you’re looking for steady, trustworthy dog walking or drop-in care, I’d love to connect. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to make sure your pets are cared for, whether they need a midday walk, a potty break, playtime, or a meal while you're away. I am available 7 days a week for drop-in visits and dog walking and would love to continue helping pet owners in any way I can! I love spending time with dogs and making sure they get the mental and physical stimulation they need! Whether it’s a fun game of fetch, a relaxing walk, or a treat puzzle to challenge their minds, I always aim to keep pets happy and engaged. I now focus on dog walking and drop-in visits at my clients’ homes. I enjoy taking dogs on walks around their neighborhoods, helping them get exercise, explore new scents, and feel comfortable in their surroundings. If the weather is nice, I’m happy to take them on a stroll through a local park for a little extra adventure!

About: ive been taking care of animals since i was a little girl. i grew up on a farm with a stepdad at the time who abused animals. so i would care for the animals after the scenes would happen. ive had dogs and cats all my life. i just have a deep love for animals. i put full time care into caring for your animals :) i make sure all my animals are healthy and well. i love them with my whole being. i have 6 cats! i wash them, take my mothers dogs on walks sometimes, give them medicine, feed them and give them water daily…etc.

About: I’ve lived on a farm my whole life and have cared for about every creature under the sun! I love all animals big and small! I’m not afraid to work hard and get dirty so your pet is comfortable, loved, and cared for properly! I’m a full time student during the school year and interning part time this summer so I’ll have plenty of free time to look after your pets whenever needed! I will follow whatever safety instructions you require to keep your furry friend safe and sound wether that be walking around the block or playing in the backyard.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 4 and I’ve always been connected to them. I started pet sitting for dogs and cats 7 years ago. I love all animals and give them consistent attention and affection when I am caring for them. I also take care to follow any instructions given and needs the animal may have. I am a fabulosa communicator and always send daily check ins! I also have several references I can share along with the reviews here. I make my own schedule and work around 8 hours per week so I am open for animals who need a lot of attention and care and flexible with last minute needs. I care for pets in my clients homes (or mine) according to their needs and specifications. I also treat pets like family so animals with anxiety or higher needs do very well with me.

About: I worked in the vet industry since I was about 17 years old as a veterinary technician. I found another full time job in the healthcare industry in Cancer research about a year and a half ago. But I still kept my veterinary job until recently. I left the vet industry to open up my availability to be around animals in a more intimate way such as dog walking, house sitting, etc. I am experienced with most animals since I grew up with a lot of my own. Over the years my family has owned ducks, chickens, horses, chinchillas, cats, sugar gliders, dogs, bearded dragons, geckos, rabbits, cows and guinea pigs so I am experienced with several different types of animals! I’m currently working full time but I have a work from home job that is flexible so I am able to bring my laptop and work phone. I go in office to work in Nashville a 1 day out of the week but I can always change the days around so I am very flexible! I know pet safety so I will keep a dog on the leash at all times unless there is a fence to put them in. Also if I need to bring any animals to my house I have a crate I can keep them in. I have a yard with a fence that I would watch them under my direct supervision at all times.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. From having turtles, cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish over the years I’ve learned so much about so many different animals! every animal is different just like humans so i strive to make sure they are comfortable with me and trust me how i am with them ! Many friends and family have asked me to watch or take care of their 4 legged babies, so i hope to keep doing it with yalls ! i’m currently working part-time, so that leaves me free from 1pm to anytime. My off days are Wednesday and Fridays, they don’t change! I’m willing to walk, sit, let them out to potty, just run to go check on them, and if they need some extra loving i’m there! Of course if you need anything else i’m here and very flexible! I live in an apartment, so i wouldn’t accept nightly stays at my place, but i’m more than capable over staying at yours ! i know most of the time animals feel more comfortable and safe in their own homes ! I do have a 80 pound dog who i take out 5-6 times a day when i get home, i take him out to the dog area and play with him for hours so he can get some sunshine on him, he’s crate and potty trained, and he LOVES to be cuddled up on anyone !
