Dog Walkers in Mayland, VA

About: Hello my name is Natasha (Tasha). I have grown up with dogs and love learning new things about dogs. When I was younger my parents constantly bought me books about dogs (the only way they could get me to read). Your dog’s stay will be customized to their needs. If they love to play nonstop, go on long walks, sleep on the couch, sunbathing, or all the belly rubs in the world, that will be what your dog gets under my care. I love to make homemade dog treats and try new recipes. I am comfortable administering medicine (pill form) if it is necessary. I currently have dogs of my own, so if your dog loves playing with other dogs I have the perfect playmates for them!

About: I've always dog sitted, walked, cared for dogs since a very young age, The last few years dogs ive mentored have won a few dog shows, have worked in shelters as well with animals with anxiety and many health problems. Animals are our best friends & they deserve care & empathy. I love the outdoors hiking and running so I keep the dogs active and healthy. I am also a tutor so being Remote gives me time for doggies:) Always a full plate of food, with water. Along with walks I like pet to get some exercise, & have play time even when we're inside. I also have a long relaxing walking path and lake right in my neighborhood. All dogs absolutely love the view during walks!

About: I have always had a love and passion for animals since I was a little girl. I started in elementary school by offering to walk my neighbors' dogs just so I could have the opportunity to play with them. Over the years, I have gained even more love and experience in properly caring for all animals as if they were my own. I am a student at JMU who is looking for something part time. I have a lot of free time in the afternoon and most weekends which I would love to spend my time with your wonderful animals! I currently live in an apartment building but is willing to take them in, take them to dog parks, and go on long walks. I am comfortable and flexible on what I would need to do to ensure the happiness and safety for your pets!

I am a fast learner, and can assist with training pups or taking care of senior dogs. My father is a veterinarian, so I was able to learn from him how to care for your pets. I attend James Madison University, so I will have classes with a varying schedule each weekday. I can stay full time at your home with your pets. I go to the gym, so I may be out for a short time to work out, but once I’m finished I’m right back at home with your pets! I have two dogs of my own. I feed/provide medication to them regularly (might go without saying) and I love to cuddle up with them on the floor and play with their toys with them. I’m very affectionate and will give your pets lots of attention and love.

About: Its incredibly easy for me to pick up on a pet's personality. Whether they're out and about, or too lazy to go out, I champion myself for being able to understand a pet's emotions. Pet care has turned from something I do as a favor for friends and family into a passion I want to practice as frequently as possible. I am an incredibly timely individual. I love sticking to checklists, as they help me remember the tasks assigned, and ensure that I have performed the requested duties to the owners, and the pets.

About: I have grown up around animals but also have watched others animals since I was at least 12. I work at an equestrian barn and primarily petsit dogs and cats. I greatly enjoy my time with the animals. Ask for more details! Petsitting fits into my weekly routine so well! Whether it’s popping in for a walk or feed time, boarding, etc., I am dedicated. I have a lot of free time in the summer and during the school year (I’m a teacher), I also find time before and after school to recharge and take care of animals. In my home, I make sure the client and pet are comfortable with the arrangement and altar anything needed within reason. In a client’s home, I will provide care as requested specifically. This will vary, depending on the service.

“Mackenzie is great! She filled in for my regular dog walker pretty last minute, but made time to come meet my pup, Cody, beforehand and was fantastic with him -- plus extremely personable! She was very reliable and communicative; I am very grateful for her help!”

I ensure that I know current vet care and contact numbers for emergency situations.

“Moriah was so great for Walt! Not only did she help fill a need for us with a last minute cancellation, she was so responsive and great with our dog. She gave great feedback after every walk and was so kind. I would definitely hire again and recommend to friends!”
