Dog Walkers in Martinsville, VA

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 own two cats and have pet sit for friends before for their cats and dogs. I would love to help walk some dogs to get in more exercise! Weekends and later on weeknights sometimes. I cannot board pets, but am open to staying overnight if needed. I can walk dogs anytime of day on the weekends. I cannot board any animals in my own home due to owning two cats that would be stressed and I also rent a house. I have pet sit plenty of times for friends.

“Katie was amazing with our dogs. She showed up right on time - as scheduled - and we received daily updates/pics. We came home to happy & relaxed pups. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”

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 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 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.

“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.”

About: I am a "gentle giant" with a lifelong passion for animals and over 19 years of experience providing dedicated pet care. By trade, I work in the electric industry, which means dependability, safety, and attention to detail are built into everything I do. When you leave your home and your furry family members in my hands, you can rest easy knowing they are being watched by someone who is as responsible as they are soft-hearted With my background in electrical work, I am naturally observant and highly dependable. I treat your home with the same respect and care that I treat your pets. Animals truly take to me. I provide a calm, steady presence that helps even the most anxious pets feel safe and relaxed. I am also an avid photographer! You won't just get a "check-in" text; you’ll receive high-quality, beautiful photos of your pets throughout the day so you can see exactly how happy and settled they are. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a steady hand for medication, or just a big guy to curl up next to for a nap, I am here to provide the five-star care they deserve Please don't hesitate to reach out. I have a special place in my heart for senior animals. I understand that older pets require a patient, calm energy and a gentle touch. I am fully experienced in administering medications—whether it’s pills, liquids, or specialized care—and I am highly attuned to the subtle changes in a senior pet's comfort and behavior.

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 had pets my entire life and love doting on them and giving them the love and affection they deserve, including walks! I am also experienced in dealing with senior dogs, as well as dogs that are blind and/or deaf. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can usually find time during the day to take your baby for a walk! I am also available on Saturdays. I am very aware of the warning signs dogs present when they are uncomfortable, as well as calm and quick to deescalate and soothe dogs.

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.

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!

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life! To me, dogs are family, they deserve to be treated like like prince or princess they are. I’ll love your pup like my own, I’ll play with them, and I’ll make sure they’re in the best care possible! I’ve been mainly around small breeds (chihuahuas, Pomeranians, dachshund, and certain mixed breeds) but I will love any dog of any breed or size! I’ve always loved taking care of animals and giving them a disgustingly amount of love (haha). I’ve nursed puppies back to health and I’ve spent the final moments with senior dogs making the most of their final days. I would love to meet your dog and your family! I’m available almost always and can be flexible with my schedule, if you need me I’m there! I look forward to meeting your precious puppy and your family! :-)

“Quick to respond and seems super sweet I can’t wait for my dog to meet her!”
