Dog Walking Midlothian

About: I have cared for dogs of all ages and sizes for twenty years, and I take the responsibility and well- being of animals very seriously. I enjoy the relationship walking a dog regularly builds, and how happy and healthy regular activity makes a dog. I am a USCG Veteran and a personal soccer trainer, so I have always enjoyed an active lifestyle and look forward to continuing that through my activities with caring for dogs. I can be flexible regarding scheduling needs, I can come to you or your dog can come to me! I have experience with difficult behavior, high energy, important routines, weird personality quirks, and crazy allergies in dogs; I am dedicated to providing high quality service to you and your dog.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs growing up and have worked with a variety of ages from puppies to elderly. I have 2 years of experience volunteering as a veterinary shadow intern and have confidence to providing for the needs of cats and dogs of all personalities. As a recent college graduate I have flexibility and time to reliably work as needed to provide care for pets. My schedule allows me to prioritize their routines, whether it’s daily visits or last minute bookings. I prefer to adapt approach to pets according to their needs, whether it’s calm and non confronting to shy cats or running with younger dogs. I also like to continue their routines that they are comfortable with. For owners, I keep regular updates as wanted to keep peace of mind.

About: Hello! I’m Morgan, a young student with a passion for animals and pet care. I’ve owned dogs my entire life and understand just how important diligent pet care is. Pets are a part of our families, and that should be reflected in how they are cared for. I began walking dogs as a young kid with our family dog, Hugo, an energetic and lively Weimaraner. Later we got a black lab, Mercedes, and I would walk them together, so I am quite adept at handling multiple large dogs. In high school I began pet sitting for friends and coworkers. I have experience pet-sitting older dogs and younger dogs so I understand the need for careful supervision. I’ve have experience with dogs, cats, and even birds and rabbits! I have full open availability from 6am-3pm on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Thursday through Sunday I have completely open availability anytime of the day! I pride myself on being and observant and a diligent caretaker. Things like making sure the food and water bowls are always clean. Checking the water bowl consistently to ensure it’s full, keeping track of the time to know they’re being fed on schedule. Both my own dogs and others I’ve cared for have required daily oral medication at different times of the day. I’m very good at staying organized and knowing what needs to be done, when it needs to be done. Additionally, making sure the animals are receiving proper exercise and stimulation either through long walks or playing with the favorite toys safely.

About: Hi there, I'm Heidi and I have been watching dogs for 20 years. Our beloved dog recently passed away and we miss all the dog snuggles. Dogs are treated like family at our house. I'm a RN but currently I am a stay at home mom and my husband works from home so I am home during the day and am available to walk your pet frequently. I can guarantee good communication and lots of love for your pet! I'm currently a stay at home mom so I am flexible to work with different pet needs. We can go on plenty of walks, have play time and frequent pee/poop breaks. We allow pets into our normal routine such as walking to the park, snuggles and play time. Pets are allowed on furniture and are seen as part of our family.

“Nora is fantastic! She’s friendly, loved my energetic pup, and was easy to communicate with. I’ll definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Devinder was great! He was a clear communicator and was comfortable with providing our dog the extra TLC she needs as a senior pup. He was trustworthy and took great care of our girl!”

About: Friends and family have relied on me numerous times to be their pet sitter. My roommate has a 3 year old golden retriever and an elderly cat who I love so dearly. I care for them when she cannot. My sister also has a golden retriever and I watch him when she goes out of town. I grew up with dogs and know how to cater to their needs. My grandparents even told me that I am the godmother to their 2 cats because they see how great I am with them. I work full time 8:00-5:00 and will happily watch your pets in the evening or weekends when you are away. I love taking pets on walks in the museum district! Your pet will feel safe in their own environment and I’ll match their energy so that they are comfortable and relaxed. I want them to barely even notice you’re gone.

“Great communication and timely arrival!”

Christine H.

“Destiny is a great communicator, lets me know if anything is off on Teddys walks, and was able to improvise and find Teddy’s food when I forgot to do his meal prep this week! Teddy is loving his weekly walks, thank you Destiny!”

Kristen E.

“Thank you for working with my anxious baby!”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown even more. Now that I have moved to Richmond, I'm missing my animals back home. I love making new pet buddies, and want to ensure they are as happy as can be. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family and friends' pets throughout high school. My dog back home has allergy issues that required medication everyday, so I have experienced in giving oral medication. I am currently an afternoon nanny for two girls and part time volleyball coach, so I will have plenty of time to be around for furry friends. I always give much love to the pets I care for. I understand that all pets are different and make sure to cater to their schedule.

About: Hello! Our names are Darling and Kolby. We have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and a wide variety of breeds. We have plenty of space to host your dog, including a fully fenced yard where they can safely play and explore. We currently have two cats and a Golden Aussie of our own, and we grew up surrounded by animals such as Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, Chihuahuas, Poodles, and more. Because of this, we are very comfortable managing a multi-pet household. If your pet has any allergies or special dietary needs, we are happy to accommodate them. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about your pet while you’re away, we’d be happy to help! I work remotely so I am able to spend more time with my dog during the day, and he gets to play in the yard for the majority of the day. We provide lots of exercise with yard play, walks and trips to the dog park. As well as mentally stimulating activities that our dog requires.

“Marissa helped me out super last minute walking Hobbes- so grateful!!!”

About: I grew up in a multi-cat household and now own 5 cats between my parents and myself! There's no kitty I can't handle - from super social, to shy, to very sassy, I'm known to be able to form a bond with every cat that comes into my care. I'm also a lover of all animals, I owned fish and lizards and have spent a lot of time helping walk and take care of my family's dogs. My animals are my life, and I've been on Rover for almost four years now! I also have a lot of experience working for Happy Cats Concierge LLC in Reston, VA, where I provided a range of services for cats of various quantities, ages, and personalities. Whether your furry friend needs a playmate, cuddle buddy, bodyguard, or just someone to stop by for food and medicine - I got you! My schedule is open and my day-to-day is flexible! Any specific dates I’m unavailable will be reflected on my calendar. Please message me with any other scheduling questions. Inside, outside, leash or no leash, crate, etc., I will honor the owner's wishes for where their furry friend needs to be spending their time. I value consistent routines and attentiveness while your pet is in my care. All of my services will be based in the client's home or neighborhood.

About: Ive had 3 dogs apart of my family since almost before I was even able to walk. I’ve always had a love for pets & have taken care of them for a number of years.

“Kassie put in the extra effort to make my grumpy little old man of a dog happy! She consistently put in extra time to ensure his comfort and to keep me posted while I was away. Very appreciative of her!”

About: I have 10 years of experience pet sitting. Having shared the same family household with 3 dogs, I understand the effort and commitment it takes to care for them. I have plenty of experience watching dogs of varying breeds, from Corgis, to labs, to Border Collies and everything in between. I also have experience petsitting dogs with varying needs. I am reliable and willing to go above and beyond to ensure your pets’ happiness and care. When it comes to scheduling I am flexible. I am able to show up to walk and feed your pets, and willing to house sit for an extended period of time and spend overnight if need be with some advanced notice. I am not able to board pets, but willing to care in clients’ homes including overnight. I like to leave things as I found them, and follow instructions verbatim as left by the owner. Can crate dogs if needed.

About: I have been house/dog sitting since I was 18. My goal is to let your animal have a calm experience while you are away. Experienced in senior care, daily meditation, specialty food, diva dogs and unique needs. All dogs are 10/10! I work 4 hour shifts but work from home most days and have a very flexible schedule. Wifi is needed for day and night care. Most days are open for walks. Regular occurring appointments are encouraged! I have a small apartment that is unsuitable for sitting at my home. Home/pet sitting: Texting daily check ins (with pictures if possible). Clear instructions for their daily routine. Medication instructions or check lists. Vet info clearly written or posted in home. A short list of nicknames they respond to (Max, maxeroine and cheese, maxster). Lots of cookies to buy their love.

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats in our household. I have experience walking neighborhood dogs and boarding family pets as well. This includes walking, giving medications, bathing (for dogs), providing food and water and of course play time. I also volunteer with local rescues to care for both cats and dogs. One of the many benefits that volunteering has provided is the ability to gain further knowledge about safely caring for both cats and dogs. This includes navigating behavioral changes and safely handling dogs. I currently work from home part time, this gives me lots of time to care for animals! I will be available Monday - Friday and can accommodate up to 3 visits per day. We currently have 3 tabby mixes at home, adopting them was the best decision I could have made! On a daily basis I provide oral medications, fresh water, food, treats and litter box cleanings. I also ensure their spaces are clean by sweeping up a litter or messes they may have made throughout the day/night. Play time is also a very important part of our day, keeping the cats enriched and happy is my goal!
