Dog Walking in Mechanicsville

“Devinder was absolutely amazing with my dog Slider! He was prompt when responding to my messages, and gave me complete reports with each dog walk. I felt comfortable with him entering my apartment, and will continue to use Devinder whenever I need my dog walked.”

“Monique took excellent care of our pup! Her communication was excellent, and we came back to a very happy doggo (who without company is usually anxious when we return). Cannot recommend her highly enough.”

“Rachel was fantastic in taking care of my fur baby Nappa. He can be overly excited and pull when he walks but Rachel loved him like her own. Thank you so much for loving my boy and keeping my mind at ease while my family and I were away.”

“Sierra walks our dog, Shockoe, 1-3 times a week and we absolutely love her! Sierra is a great communicator and has always been flexible as our days/times change weekly. She is great at listening to Shockoes wants for the day, whether that is taking a casual stroll, a big walk, or just needing some extra pets before walking. She goes above and beyond with pictures of each walk and making sure Shockoe has a water refill before leaving each day. Shockoe LOVES Sierra - they have created such a bond. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!!”

“It was a pleasure working with Shannon during her first visit to our home to walk our dog. Her communication was excellent, she responded to my booking request and to my texts quickly and set my mind at ease that she would take good care of our dog and she did. I also really appreciated her summary of the visit and photos. I look forward to her next visit.”

About: We have taken care of all kinds of animals for years and are currently the happy owners of a rescue dog named Finn. My wife and I rescued him in 2021 when he was 8 weeks old. My wife has owned, rescued, and ridden horses for most of her life and has some vet level experience with animals. My wife and I are both teachers, so we are home early each day. Our weekday afternoons are free with a ton of flexibility. We both have the summer off so we can devote all day to your fur babies! We are free almost every weekend! We will be home all day during the week starting in the summer, We are able to tag team and constantly have someone with your beloved pet at all times of the day. In May we are out of the house from around 7:00-2:00 on weekdays We have plenty of space in our house, it’s a small house but has an empty bedroom, and also a big fenced in backyard! We put up a brand new 6 foot privacy fence so your pups will feel safe when having fun in the sun!

About: My first business venture, in elementary school, started with posting flyers in my neighborhood for my dog-walking business, to prove to my parents that I could take care of a family dog if we were to get one. It worked; we got our first family dog, and have been a dog family ever since! Now I have my own golden retriever named Koa who is the light of my life, loves coming with me anywhere he is allowed, and has yet to meet a stranger. I always have a surplus of love to give, especially when it comes to animals, and my post-pandemic job now provides me with plenty of flexibility. Let me love on your fur baby, too! My job is very flexible, so it’s easy for me to add things to my agenda day-of. I enjoy the spontaneity and adventure of this side-hustle. When you’re not home, your dog misses you. I’m just there to make them feel safe and connected to someone in the meantime. I take that responsibility seriously.

About: I have loved dogs for all my life and have never been without one! I have more than 10 years of experience including pet sitting, dog walking, pet grooming, and volunteering at animal shelters. Although I’ve had several fur babies throughout the years, I currently have a 9 year old male chocolate labrador that lives with my husband and I. He is my favorite thing in the entire world! I am a local travel nurse and love to rover whenever I am not working in the hospital! I have experience with young, old, and special needs cats and dogs, including the visibly/audibly impaired, and experience with giving medications. I am available throughout the week (depending on my schedule) to come by your home to feed, play with, and care for your dog, as well as take them for walks throughout the day. I will treat your loved ones the same as I treat my own, with love, patience, compassion, and understanding! ❤️ As a travel nurse my work schedule changes everything 3-9 months, but is usually three twelve hour shifts per week. My availability will be dependent on my hospital schedule. I keep my rover calendar updated based on these schedules. My dog is my number one priority. His needs always come first and I work hard to make sure he has the best life possible. I offer these same commitments to your pets through my rover bookings. I make sure to get in touch with owners before booking to ensure I have all the information needed for their pet’s care, such as potty time, feeding schedule, any medications, walk times, etc. I’m always available for a meet and greet beforehand as well!

About: I have one dog of my own that I care for daily. I thrive on making sure her daily life is better than mine, from food to recreation! When you trust your pet with me, you can rest assured that your family member is in good hands with an attentive caretaker. Additionally, I understand the importance of being able to rely on your pet's caretaker to be punctual and reliable, so this is also my top priority. I excel at following directions, so when you leave me instructions about your fur baby, please know that these will be followed to the T! Finally, I have no issues updating you on your pet's contentment while you are away via text or email - just make the request! I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I currently work from home full time, which allows me the freedom to care for your furbabies during the week in my home, or on the weekends as well! While my preference is to care for your pet(s) in my home, I do have availability to house sit in your home on the weekends as well. I live in a townhome, however my pets go out on frequent walks around the neighborhood. My neighborhood tends to be quiet with minimal traffic. If I’m keeping your pets in your home, I will of course adhere to any requests that you have!

“Took great care of our girl. Already booked again!”

About: Hi! I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule to accommodate your busy life. I offer reliable and trustworthy pet care services, ensuring your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, so you can count on plenty of patience and special attention for your fur babies. Whether through regular walks, playtime, or feeding routines, I provide compassionate care tailored to each pet's individual needs. I especially love going on walks and spending time outdoors. From pet owners, I prioritize clear communication in order to meet expectations, maintain consistency, and bring peace of mind. My routine is centered around my class schedule. I am free to prioritize sitting on the majority of weekends, so that’s my main source of availability. On weekdays, I’m generally open early mornings and evenings after 5:30. Quick visits throughout the day may be possible, depending on the location, so just reach out with the details and we can coordinate. As a dedicated pet sitter with years of experience, I ensure your four-legged friend remains happy and healthy. I pay close attention to body language to know when it’s playtime or if space is needed. I always respect boundaries, though I am also adept at implementing discipline at the owner’s discretion if necessary. Getting to know your pet’s unique personality as well as their favorite toys or games is the best part of the experience for me. Look forward to receiving photo and video updates of your babies while under my care. My method of sitting revolves around specific instructions from the owner regarding their pet’s routine, preferences, and any special requirements.

“Came home to a sweet, relaxed Pup. Thanks for the visit! Always appreciate your feedback after the walk along with all the other things that you do for our Pup.”

About: Hi, we are Maddy and Charlie! We’re lifelong animal lovers who recently lost our beloved dog to cancer. We got him as a puppy and have plenty of experience raising and training young dogs. We deeply miss having a dog in our home and would love the chance to provide your pup with a loving home away from home. Why Choose Us?      •    Safe & Comfortable Environment: We have a fully fenced 4ft backyard, perfect for playtime, and live in a quiet neighborhood ideal for peaceful walks. We're also close to Pole Green Dog Park for more outdoor adventures.      •    Flexible & Personalized Care: Someone will always be home to provide your dog with frequent potty breaks, unique feeding schedules, or just extra attention. Whether your pup loves lounging on the couch or prefers more active outdoor fun, we’re happy to cater to their needs.     •    Experienced & Trustworthy: We've both grown up with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, including high-energy breeds. Since our last dog required medication, we’re also experienced in giving meds, even to stubborn pups. No need to transport a crate, as we have a crate available for their comfort. While our crate has a bed, feel free to bring one your dog prefers. We also have firsthand experience raising puppies and understand the patience, training, and love they require. We’d love the chance to meet your dog and give them all the care and love they deserve! We are currently booking for weekends only, as we both work full-time. However, we can offer flexible drop-off times on Fridays, with one of us available after 1:00 PM. For dog walking or drop-in visits, I work in the city and can be available during lunch hours. In our home, your dog will enjoy a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. We have a secure 4ft fenced backyard, live in a quiet neighborhood for walks, and are close to Pole Green Dog Park for outdoor fun. Someone is always home to provide frequent potty breaks, personalized care, and companionship. We also have a crate available for their comfort. With experience caring for dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and medical needs, we prioritize your dog’s safety, happiness, and well-being—and we’re happy to provide regular photo updates to keep you connected while you’re away.

About: I’ve had the pleasure of working with many different animals my whole life and knew it would be my profession at a young age. From growing up on a farm to now being a veterinary technician and still wanting my side job to be caring for your pets I think it’s safe to say I love what I do and really take pride in making a positive impact on every living creature I meet. Having my knowledge in animal health really helps put my pet parents mind at ease knowing everything from feeding/ walking / playing and lots of love to hygiene/ administering meds/ monitoring for some of our older fur babies can be taken care of ! I work full time but my schedule is very consistent allowing me to easily schedule for your animal care needs. Feel free to reach out with any questions and concerns about scheduling In your home I will always care for your pets as instructed by you, with respect for your property. I will ensure your home remains as you left it and your pets needs are more then met.
