Dog Walkers in Manakin Sabot, VA

“Breanna had the unfortunate duty of cleaning up a shattered glass vase one of my dogs knocked over when Breanna arrived. I appreciate her reaching out to me right away to let me know, and to also reassure me that neither dog (or she fortunately) was injured. She cleaned up the mess thoroughly, which was necessary to prevent injuries but also above and beyond. I also appreciate her continued patience with my two young and dogs. I know they are A LOT when she opens the front door. I'm really pleased to have found Breanna to take my dogs for recurring walks while I'm working. I look forward to her developing a bond with my crazy noodleheads. Highly recommended! 🥇”

“Mark took great care of our puppy. He was very quick to respond to my request (it was somewhat short notice) and was a lifesaver. He kept us updated and paid attention to our dogs needs. I highly recommend Mark and will be using him in the future.”

About: I have five years of professional dog care in many different spheres. I have previously managed two different kennels, groomed many dogs around Richmond, and am K9-CPR certified. I have experience training puppies, adults, and seniors basic obedience, leash manners, and beginner agility. I am well versed in administering medications. Prior to working with dogs as a career, I have experience caring for many dogs over my life, from family pets to petsitting in the neighborhood. I am happy to provide enrichment activities for your animal as well, such as bubble play, doga (dog yoga), or drives to hiking locations. I am committed to being completely available for any of your pet needs! My main focus is comfortable care for your critter, no matter how early or late that may be. I feel that years of experience in caring for animals who are being boarded, hanging out at daycare, or getting a stylish spa day have taught me so much in how to interact and build trust with many animals no matter the situation. I believe a combination of patience, kindness, intuition, and some snackos can really foster a safe, positive environment for everybody.

“I'm very happy with the care and time Grace has taken with Elton. This is not the first time and I hope it won't be the last that I have Grace.”

“Andreea was great with both of our dogs. She even got our younger pup to warm up to her quickly and explore outside of her comfort zone a bit. She has a calm yet friendly demeanor, which was perfect for our dogs.”

About: Hi! I’m Sue, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years—starting with family, friends, and referrals, and now expanding to help more pet parents through Rover. I currently have a one year old sweet Labrador Retriever with a heart condition, so I’m very familiar with caring for dogs who need extra attention or medication. I’ve also raised puppies as young as 8 weeks and have experience with both dogs and cats of all kinds. Whether it’s playtime, walks, administering meds, or just relaxing and keeping your pet company, I’m happy to follow their routine and comfort level. I’m comfortable with all types of dogs—as long as they’re not aggressive and are okay with someone new in their space. If your pet needs medication (oral or topical), I can handle that with care and calm. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I’ll always treat them like my own. I have plenty of availability during the week and some on weekends. Just let me know in advance so I can plan accordingly and make sure I’m available to meet your pet’s needs! When I’m caring for pets in your home, I treat it with the same respect and care as I do my own. I follow your routines closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or just making sure your pet has company and comfort while you’re away. I always prioritize safety, whether it’s making sure doors are secure, checking that your pet’s collar/harness fits properly for walks, or being mindful of any specific needs or sensitivities your pet may have. During dog walks, I avoid busy or unsafe areas and pay close attention to your dog’s body language and comfort level. I’m also happy to give updates and photos so you can feel connected and confident while your pet is in my care. Clear communication and respect—for both your pets and your home—are very important to me.

About: Hi, I'm Kim! I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I'm a mom of 4 fur babies of my own and have had animals all my life. I am currently transitioning from a 13 year Nanny position into my dream job of caring for animals full time. Three years ago, I started pet sitting part-time and have gotten rave reviews and I absolutely love it!! (References available on request) My schedule is very flexible for drop-ins and overnight stays on a first come, first serve basis. I will come to your pet's home where they are most comfortable. Offering pet care services in your home, I follow the typical routine you and your pets have already established. They will keep their routine and not go through any traumatic transitions. The best part? Your fur baby is there when you get home. Your home will also have that "lived in" look. Mail will be picked up, plants watered, lights will be switched on and off, trash rolled to the curb, and any house issues that arise can be addressed. Especially for overnight or vacation services, I would love the chance to meet you and your pet(s) in your home ahead of time. I always encourage new clients to schedule a (free) 30-minute meet-and-greet before the first booking (either at your home or a public location) so that I can meet your pet(s). If I am doing a sitting or drop-in, then these are perfect for showing me where the food supplies are as well as bowls, litter box(es), and anything else that may be needed for the booking I send daily updates while you are away so your vacation is worry free. I am looking to establish a regular client base and consider pets as part of the family.

“Very reliable and great !”

About: Hi! I’m Jordan — a lifelong animal lover and experienced caregiver with a deep appreciation for how much pets are truly part of the family. Whether you have a playful pup, a mellow senior, or an anxious rescue, I provide thoughtful, loving care tailored to your pet’s needs. I currently work with flexible hours and love spending time outdoors or snuggling with animals. I’m also detail-oriented and great at following feeding, medication, or walking instructions exactly as given. I grew up with dogs, fish, guinea pigs, geckos, you name it! I have experience with breeds ranging from small breeds like Yorkies to larger dogs like Labs or Shepherds. I’m also comfortable with senior pets, puppies, or animals needing a little extra patience. I treat your pet and home with total respect, just like I’d want someone to do for me. Whether you need a daily walk or drop-in visits, I’d love to help give your pet attention, care, and love while you’re away. 🐶🐾 Serving both areas of Waynesboro, VA and Richmond, VA. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine — I genuinely enjoy slowing down and being present with animals. I have a flexible schedule with availability during mornings, variable evenings, and weekends, which allows me to give pets the attention and consistency they need. Whether it’s a midday walk or a weekend drop-in, I prioritize being dependable and communicative for pets and their people. Whether in my home or yours, I treat pets like family — with patience, respect, and intention. I follow all care instructions closely and take time to understand each pet’s unique routines, preferences, and personalities. In a client’s home, I ensure pets feel comfortable in their own space while maintaining cleanliness, boundaries, and security (like locking doors and checking gates). If I care for pets in my home, they’ll have a calm, cozy environment with limited noise, no other pets, plenty of cuddles, and structured downtime. Safety is always at the top of my mind — I never leave pets unattended outside, and I’m careful with food, toys, and household hazards. I also provide regular updates and photos so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.
