About: Growing up I’ve always been around animals but mostly dogs and cats. For walking your pets even if they aren’t a runner I will still always have them on a leash just to make sure nothing happens to them I’m currently unemployed but will be asking for a 2 day notice before the actual date. I do have a car and have liable transportation. I do have a small dog and he’s a jack terrier/chihuahua. I will be taking him along with me if he feels like it :) if your pet isn’t comfortable around other dogs I won’t be bringing my puppy<3


16. Alexis R.
About: Hi! My name is Alexis, I am 27 years old, and I have been around animals my entire life. Growing up I helped my dad with training his rabbit dogs and attending to their needs while he was at work or etc. I am born and raised in Amherst, VA. I own my own townhouse in Madison Heights. Although, the area is not fenced in there is a nice big yard for your fur-baby to get plenty of exercise and exposure to the sun and fresh air!! There is sidewalks in the neighborhood that makes it easy for taking walks. I am here to care for your fur-baby as you would. I will pet, feed, walk, play, brush attend to your fur-baby's needs. You and your fur-baby will be happy with my services. I do work 40 hours a week from home which allows me to have more time at home to attend to your fur-baby. Your dog/cat will be able to roam freely in the house unless otherwise requested. I do not work weekends, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I can easily crate your dog as needed. All dogs are walked on leashes when we go for walks. I respect your wishes in my home and your home.

“Omar has been helping take care of my dogs for over 10 years!! He loves them like his own and has always been super attentive to their needs!”


18. Christopher M.
About: I worked for a vet for 2 years and a kennel for one year. I have had dogs almost my entire life. I also know how to handle and take care of them. I have had 5 dogs in my life and all were different sizes so small and large dogs are no problem for me at all. I will treat your pet like my own pet and with all love and respect that it deserves. I have two sons that are seven and five so the dogs I watched need to be kid friendly. I have two dogs right now so they also must get along with other dogs. Both my dogs are crate trained so that takes care of that. Your dogs will have a loving caring fun time with me and my boys and we are about five minutes away from the dog park so they can also get a great walk-in and they all their energy out. I currently work full-time from 8 to 5 and they are generally in their crates for a little bit. I get up in the morning. Let them out for a couple hours and then they are in their crates until I get home. I care for a clients animal just as I would do my own make sure that they are fed and walked they can get brushed. I also do nail clips. I also give baths if they need that as well so I provide mini services not just dog walking and what’s being offered, but I can also groom your dog a little bit if need be.
