Dog Walking Mount Crawford

About: I've provided care for cats and dogs ranging from kitten and puppy to senior. I've been walking and doing daily in-home visits for several years, as well as taking care of my own animals. I also have experience with lizards and rabbits. I work part-time, so I'm flexible and have more open availability. I'm usually avaliable on short notice and can make earlier morning or later evening visits or extended visits during vacations. I'm happy to follow any care instructions you may have, including crating or other special considerations. I'm fine administering meds and also have some experience with wound care.

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience working with animals in professional settings, including equestrian rescue centers, animal shelters, and veterinary hospitals as a veterinary assistant. I graduated from UC Davis with a wildlife biology degree. I now work as a field biologist gathering data on marine endangered species. I also occasionally transport at-risk dogs on the euthanasia list from high-kill shelters to safe rescues and foster homes. I have experience handling and training reactive dogs, including fostering and rehabilitating them, so I’m very comfortable recognizing body language and respecting boundaries. I absolutely love all breeds and sizes! Regarding my own pets, I have a Newfoundland and two bunnies :) -- I grew up with many cats too! April 3-6 I can take care of your pets any time of the day and however many times a day you'd like. April 7-17, I work the day shift so I can take care of or walk them either before 6am and/or anytime after 6pm. Safety of the pets at the client’s home is always most important. I am more than happy to take photos and send them to you throughout the visit!

“Yanyna has been an excellent dog walker so far! Always communicative and responsive. Always gives a nice long walk :) would definitely recommend. Thank you!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats and chickens since I was 16. Back at home I dog, cat, and house sat for neighbors and friends. I have always been given great feedback and I love animals! I'm currently an undergraduate student at JMU! I have an extremely flexible schedule and will easily be able to take care of your pets! I am free 7 days a week although there are certain times that I do have class which we can discuss! I have 1 dog and 1 indoor cat at home! I live on a farm so we have a lot of land for my dog to run around! I am able to accommodate to pretty much anything and I love pets so they will be cared for with love!

About: I spent a lot of time with pets( mostly dogs) from taking care of close friends pets. With dogs I found better ways to behave them when they were with me, and considering I would take care of them a lot I managed to teach them tricks. I love spending time with animals of any kind. I had a cat when I was 13 and it was tricky because I got Lenny as an adult I would say. I learned how to manage litter boxes and the right food for both cat and dog. I do a lot of research when it comes to food so I know they have the right nutritions and I’m also skeptical when if comes or bagged food, so I do make my Own at times. I own 2 dogs now, one is a puppy and the other about a year and a half old. I’m also trying to save to go into MTC to study as a veterinarian to spend more time with animals. Taking care of pets fits in just perfectly. I currently have a part time job, but doing pet care on the side definitely helps balance my routine out and get some fresh air from working. In both client/my home, since I’m an early bird, I take them on walks to get them moving and give them time to potty, as I do with my dogs as well. I give them water and food, of course this varies on any directions given by the owner. They do get a lot of playtime and treats for good behavior. I make sure to let them potty at least every 2-3 hours out of habit from my pets.

“Stefany was punctual, communicative, and kind to my senior dog. I’ll 100% try and book with her every time.”

“Very friendly and good with both my dog and cats.”

About: I have taken care of and been around animals since I was a child. I had worked in Dog Daycares, walking dogs, and being a sitter for all kinds of animals. I can be gentle or authoritative with your pet while giving them love and kindness. My life is taking care of animals and loving them. I have plenty of free time to spend with your pets for walks, playtime, and so much more! I am quite strong to be able to hold tightly onto a leash if your animal is leash reactive. I am well versed in dog body language and can handle a hyperactive animal or a calm and cuddly baby.

“Great communication!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life growing up, from all sizes and ages. I currently have an 80 lb German Shepard-Lab-retriever mix, and a 4 week old kitten. I’ve had adult cats, puppies, and fostered. I am currently not working and on summer break before I go back to college at the end of the month so I have lots of free time! I’m more than happy to do drop bys. I can take dogs on walks, let them outside and bring them back in, crate, give treats with commands, etc. Whatever you need! And lots of pets.

About: Hi! My name is Annalise, and I have been pet sitting since high school, for about six years now. Ever since then, it feels like I’ve found my passion. I’m a student at JMU, and a proud cat mom (the tabby)! Adopting my baby boy Alex soon (the first dog), who I’ve been working on socializing to people. My favorite past time is going to the park with Alex and taking him on walks around people, all at his own speed. I know how important it is to take care of an animal according to their comfortability. I’m willing to put in the work, and I can’t think of a better reward than the love of an animal. If you give me the honor to look after your babies, I promise I’ll care for them fiercely. I do this because I love it, and it makes me happy; please reach out to me if you need a hand, I’d be more than happy to give it!! I have a part time job and am a full time student, but I am more than willing to work around your pets schedule. Your pet’s care is my priority, and I wouldn’t accept a job if I didn’t believe I could give them 110% of my attention and affection. I would take your pets on walks, cuddle them, and overall ensure they’re being cared for to the best of my ability. I would also get to know them well so I could easily assess if any behaviors are out of the ordinary.

About: I grew up with dogs and have experience caring for small and medium-sized dogs for family and friends. I love going on walks, playing fetch, and keeping pups happy and active, but I’m also happy to relax at home with lower-energy pets who prefer a quieter day. I have experience giving both cats and dogs oral medication and am comfortable following individual care instructions. Most importantly, I treat every pet with patience, care, and attention as if they were my own.

I’m happy to take dogs on walks, play fetch, spend time keeping them company, or simply relax with them if they prefer a quieter visit. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and any specific instructions you provide, while giving them plenty of attention and affection along the way. My goal is for your pet to feel safe and cared for while you’re away.
