Dog Walkers in Martinsville, VA

About: I am a previous Veterinary Assistant of 5 years who is now a SAHM. I would love to provide your fur baby with a pleasant time while you are away. I have knowledge to give medications/insulin if needed and know that some pets have specific diets and certain accommodations. I personally have 2 dogs and 3 cats myself so I can guarantee that they would be treated just as if they were my own animals. I am currently a SAHM so if the pet is animal friendly with cats and dogs they can stay here with me while away. If they are not then I am more than happy to load up my kiddo and come to your house to take care of them. However I can not do an overnight stay with them as my child needs to return home for bedtime in his crib. I can do drop in visits only or the pet can stay here at our home. If pets are in my home they must be cat friendly and dog friendly as I have 3 cats and 2 dogs. They will be leash walked and fed separately just as I do for my dogs. If they are a cat they will get their own litter box and space until they can get accustomed to everyone. I am also perfectly fine with going to your home where they are comfortable. I am fine with leash walking, cleaning litter boxes, feeding, administering medications, or really any special accommodations you may have just ask!

About: I am an experienced pet sitter and advocate for those animals who cannot advocate for themselves. I've taken care of all the pets in my personal life for family and friends since I was a child and have been taking care of everyone else's pets and farm animals since I was 18 years old. Some of my responsibilities have been working with horses, cows, pigs, chickens and of course Cats and dogs. I had experience with exotics such as geckos and snakes. As you can see, I have had experience with the smallest to the largest animals and look forward to meeting and taking care of your pets and/or farm animals. I am a full-time pet and farm animal caretaker and have no scheduling issues to work around. I make the safety and wellbeing of your pets my priority. I take care of your pets in their environment and follow care instructions laid out for them by your specific preferences. I do not take pets to my home due to the stress it puts on your pets and mine but am happy to watch them in your home.

About: I love all animals and have their health and well-being as priorities. No such thing as a bad animal. Each dog/cat has it's own special personality and it's fun to see their antics. Most importantly, it's essential that the care giver is loving and patient. Over the years I've had many pets and never had feelings of regret. I have learned some special tricks in keeping my home from smelling like a kennel. My pets are friendly and non destructive. Repetition and patience is something I've learned that works on pets and children. All my kids are out on their own and all have pets .I've love animals and they certainly seem to like me as well. I can't think of any animal I've met and didn't like I am flexible and and can adjust timing to customize care for the pets. I can respond in a timely manner to unexpected situation as needed I prefer to care for pets in their own environment. It's generally less stressful for them to be around the familiar environment and being treated gently

About: I grew up with dogs and have had cat companions all my life. I have a cat and small dog companion who I love dearly. I am ready to meet, play, and walk your dog when they need a break. I work from home part-time and will have plenty of time to walk and play with your dog during the late morning, lunchtime, and early afternoon hours. I am always aware of my environment and will ask if there are any safety concerns within the neighborhood in order to keep your dog safe.

About: I have just moved back home for the summer before heading off to medical school in the Fall. For the past year, I have been dog sitting in Charlottesville, VA through the Rover app. I absolutely loved experiencing so many different breeds and interacting with different ages, temperaments, and neediness. While I am unable to dog sit while home, I figured dog walking and check ins would be a great alternative. This summer, I will not be working so I am available any time of day to care of your precious pets while you’re busy with other responsibilities! I am a very trust worthy individual and precious clients have trusted me with full access to their homes when needed. I will always be conscious of your pets individualized needs during the walk as well as securely closing up your home when leaving.

About: I am a mother of three children, plus a fur baby of my own, looking to share my love with some fur-babies while my children are away at school. I have been around animals all my life, both cats and dogs. Always kept side work doing some pet sitting for family and friends and would like to do it more when I can to help out others. Instead of your pets having to go to a kennel boarding facility I gladly bring them into my home & treat them as family. I really enjoy the connections we can share with animals. I know it's hard having to go to work, vacation or away from home while having to leave your pets behind. If your pet needs any special training I am willing to continue it so there is no confusion for your pet. Feel free to reach out to me. I'd love to plan a Meet & Greet first and than get started on any servies you may need. I work from home on my own schedule while my kids are at school so I am always around to give plenty of attention to your fur-baby. Your pet will become a part of the family while in my home. I am very strick on only one thing, no table foods. I stick to keeping the dogs on their normal diet. Daily exercise will be provided unless told otherwise due to health issues

About: I have 10+ years of experience caring for not only my own fur babies, but others too. Avid animal lover and take in the consideration of each pets care and welfare. I currently work full-time from home, so I can do early morning check-ins and after work. Can make a special mid-day trip if needed. Available on weekends :) Comfortable with walking, crating, and giving normal love/affection to any animal. Can administer medication if needed and will provide any and all updates to ensure you are up to date on your babies care!

“Sherri is awesome. She goes above and beyond to assist you and your pet. She is helping Piper with basic commands and obedience training. We will definitely be using Sherri again.”
