Dog Walking Manakin Sabot

“Wendy is wonderful with our 4yo furbaby. She visited in advance of the first walk so that our girl could get to know her and run through all the details. Lucy enjoyed every walk with Wendy and gives her a two 🐾 up! Thank you Wendy!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, growing up in a home with multiple pups of all sizes. From feeding and bathing to long walks and playtime, I’ve always been hands-on in making sure they’re happy and well cared for. In addition to dogs, I’ve also raised birds, turtles, and fish, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and at home. I currently work from home so I’m able to provide physical comfort and stimulation via petting and playing with toys. We also have a dog park where I can take your pet for off leash running around and fetching. I have experience providing oral medicine for dogs. I allow dogs on furniture and free roaming in the house, but if you have a crate and wish to bring it just let me know. Please provide any instructions on feeding schedule or items.

“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.”

“Kristen was great with our dog Jackson, would have her come back anytime! Jackson is already excited for his next walk and play”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them and can't imagine life without them. Twice a week I volunteer at a local dog rescue, which keeps me sharp on handling dogs of all ages, temperments, and needs. I also share my home with cats, so I understand feline routines and personalities just as well as I do dogs. From playful puppies and kittens to gentle seniors who need a little extra patience, I am able to offer an energetic walk or a calm, reassuring visit to your pet's day. I bring genuine love, attentiveness, and real hands-on experience to every walk and drop-in. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have a consistent schedule and enjoy planning my days around the pets I am caring for. I volunteer at a dog rescue on Monday and Friday mornings and have a few standing commitments on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. Outside of those times, I have a flexible schedule and am committed to maintaining each pet's individual or household routines. I am very reliable, thrive with structure, and always make sure the pets in my care receive the attention and consistency they deserve. I believe pets thrive with a consistent routine and am able to follow instructions closely for feeding, litter box cleaning, walks, medications, brushing, and any other custom and daily care. I also pay close attention to each pet's behavior and body language so I am able to recognize when something seems out of character or when they need a different approach, committing to always notify the owner for follow up. I never force interactions or activities- for example, if a dog is not interested in a walk, I will adjust and find an alternative way to keep them engaged and comfortable. Above all, I prioritize a clean, safe, and low-stress environment where both cats and dogs feel secure and well cared for.

About: I have been working with pets my entire life through volunteering at shelters, pet sitting for family and friends, and owning pets of my own. I am flexible with schedules and rates and will prioritize your pets needs first! I can walk, feed, bathe, and play. I have experience with cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes. Let me know how I can best help you and your pet! I am currently in PA working at the hospital, so my schedule is flexible because my shifts are not always the same. I wake up early and go to bed late, so I can usually find a time that works well for both you and your pet. I can walk, feed, bathe, play with, and give medications as needed. I have experience caring for dogs and cats with special needs as well as medical conditions requiring special diets or scheduled medications. I treat all dogs & cats as if they are my own and I always send regular updates and photos to the pets family.

“Easy to work with and good communication!”

About: I’m a caring and personable sitter who treats every pet like family. I love learning each pet’s routine and giving them lots of attention, play, and walks. I’m comfortable with senior pets who need extra care and medication. You’ll get dependable care, a clean home, and lots of updates! I’m a 9-5 working cat mom of 3 who loves staying active. Dog walks are my favorite way to de-stress, and I’m great with daily routines for both cats and dogs. I’m reliable, responsible, and I’ll treat your pets like family with lots of photo updates! 💛 I treat your home and routine like it’s my own. I follow your pet’s exact feeding schedule, walk times, play, and any special instructions so they stay comfortable and stress-free. As a cat mom of 3, I’m great with daily litter care, quiet company, and keeping cats on routine. For dogs, I love staying active — morning and evening walks, playtime, and making sure they’re happy and tired. I’m responsible, clean, and I’ll always send photo updates so you can feel good while you’re away.

About: I take care my sisters dog time to time. I had a pet for 10 years and gave it care and support. I am very patient.

I love taking walks. I have jogged a half marathon. I am friendly

About: Hi! My name is Laura and I am a recent graduate from Virginia Tech. I have had a life-long passion for taking care of animals and hope to care for yours. Throughout my life I have cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, small mammals, horses, cows, pigs, chickens, and much more! I love all animals, big and small, and am able to watch over your household pets and/or any farm pets. I have had dogs my entire life, currently a proud pup owner of my hyper, loving golden retriever, and I know all the ins and outs of canine care. I provide play-time, grooming, walks/dog park visits, food/water cleaning and replenishment, medical aid, and so much more for your pup(s). I have training experience with puppies, and can handle all temperaments. Elderly dogs hold a special place in my heart so I will ensure their safety and comfortability. No matter the age or size, I would love to care for your four-legged family member! I have a flexible schedule so I will ensure dates/times meet your needs. I provide house visits and walks any day of the week. I also have my own vehicle so reliable transportation is not an issue. I will keep your pet(s) safe at your home and/or outside by keeping them on a leash, crating if necessary or requested, keeping your doors locked at all times, and taking precautions to make sure your pet doesn’t get into anything they are not allowed to have.

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.

“Kelly was great with our new shelter dog Mindy. Kelly was prompt to respond to messages and very easy to schedule with. It was clear from our meet and greet that she is a true dog lover! Poor Mindy was terrified on her first day and wouldn't come out of her crate, but on the second day, Kelly was able to coax her out and take her for a walk. Have already re-booked!”

About: I recently graduated from Becker College in May and I'm away from my fur babies who my mom won't let me bring down here, so I would love to spend my time with yours! I've had 3+ dogs my whole life and have had the responsibility of taking care of them (cleaning up dog poop, going on walks, feeding them, etc..) I worked at a dog kennel for a summer which included clean up, dog washing and walking dogs in large groups. I am comfortable with all sizes and ages of dogs/cats. I am available to have them come to my home, go to your home, go on walks, and anything else necessary in order to make sure they aren't alone all day when you're not home!

About: I have had pets since I was 2 years old and have been taking care of animals since I was 5. I had a pit bull named Bing and a Golden Doodle named Dakota when I was younger. Now, at my family home I have a Shichon named Tango, a Maltese named Mango, and a cat named Chestnut. I personally have two cats that are mine named Winky and Norbert and they are my best friends. I am studying to work with animals and would love to be able to hangout with your babies! I currently have a completely open schedule while I finish my summer classes online so I have daily open availability to take care of your pets 😸 I always keep clients homes clean and will never ever let your pet out of the house without making sure they are completely secure in their leash/harness!
