Dog Walkers in Mount Holly, VA

“After we had an awful first experience with rover with another Dog Walker, Deborah restored our faith in this service. What an incredible human, let alone dog walker. Consistent, great communication, and our dog adores her. I would go back to her 10 times out of 10!”

About: I have had pets, dogs and cats, pretty much all of my adult life. Love all kinds of animals. My last pet was a basset hound that was with me for 11 years till she passed. On the days I am available, my schedule is very flexible so I will be able to meet all of your pet care needs for you furry friend. I will make sure you pet is given the love and attention he/she needs while you are away. No need to worry about your furry friend while you are away.

About: I have been looking after all kinds of dogs for 8 years, my dogs, my friends dogs, and neighbors dogs. It has been good experience with all the different dogs i have watched. Im working part time at the moment, so I will have plenty of free time to spend with your fur babies and make sure they arnt sad when your gone. I have an open yard and walk my dogs making sure they get plenty outside time, and will do the same with your dogs just like I would mine.

“Very easy to work with and communicate.”

“During our meet and greet Loki took to Jordann fairly easy, so I felt good about her walking Loki. Yesterday was their first walk together and it went well(besides the heat). I came home and noticed that Loki was happy and very playful, all thanks to Jordann. Loki and I are looking forward to our weekly walks. I highly recommend Jordann, just not on Mondays and Tuesday ?”

About: My life is filled with fantastic pet stories, and I’ve had and cared for pets my entire life. I had my amazing Maine Coon Simba who I cared for throughout his life. He was smaller than the average Maine Coon, but had all the confidence of the largest one. Now, my mini poodle Camo is always ready to cheer me up. He is very energetic, loving, and protective. I am no stranger to caring for high-energy pets! I also have experience with larger dogs such as White Shepards and Dobermans. As well as less common pets like hamsters, bearded dragons, and snakes. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet! Apart from a few weeks out of July where I will be working all day, I will be available to sit morning through evening Monday through Saturday depending on distance. I am flexible to care for your pet in a way they are used to, as I know everyone has a different routine and I don’t want your pet to become overwhelmed by changes. I love to walk dogs on their own or in groups (depending on size and temperament). I am great with entertaining and playing with dogs to give them their fill of exercise and interaction.

“Ronda was great and went above and beyond. We needed to book last minute, and she did a meet and greet the same day. Ronda was thorough which put our minds at ease that our baby was well looked after.”

About: I grew up with dogs and have had a dog of my own since college. Additionally, I am a former Preschool teacher and feel that working with pets requires a similar personality and disposition - lots of unconditional love, patience & energy! 🙂 I’m home and available most days, which makes me an easy fit for you when it comes to house visits, meal times and dog walks! Our dog enjoys roaming in his tethered zip line outside in our yard and we walk the neighborhood roads and say hi to the pets on the local farm. Unfortunately we are currently not offering pet sitting at our house.

About: I’ve taken care of many animals on my family’s small farm including three dogs, chickens, a pig, sheep, and bees! I’ve always loved dogs and got my first dog before I can remember. Two of our family dogs are hyper cattle dogs that have required lots of training, so I’m no stranger to the zoomies! One of our dogs is a rescue and arrived to us with anxiety and Lymes disease among other issues. I know how far a little extra love for our dogs can go! I care for my dogs at home every day with walks and cuddles. I love to go on walks anyways and would love to take other dogs along with me. I’m able to take my pets and others on walks and have a dog sleeve for my car in case of emergencies or outings. I’m familiar with pet medications and many types of food.

About: I am very good with dogs, my brother and other people have told me that. I’ve taken care of my brothers dog who is a German shepherd and Husky mix, a lot of energy, needy, lovable, and he’s well behaved. I also take care of my boyfriends and I’s dog when he’s at work and before I go to work. She’s a Husky and blue heeler. She’s lovable, sweet, just an amazing dog overall. I am not currently working, looking for a job at the moment, so my schedule is free,Monday-Friday. Not available Sundays, some Saturdays I’m available. Reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns thank you I am more of a dog walker, I will walk your dogs, if needed I will go to my clients house if asked to do so, feed the dogs, or cats, give them fresh water. I am not providing dogs or cats or any type of animals to come to my house. Thank you for Understanding.

About: 20+ years of pet care experience. In high school and college I worked as a vet tech, and at a boarding/daycare/grooming facility. I have also worked with livestock at numerous farms and horse boarding facilities. I now have 1 dog, 3 cats, and a horse of my own. I love building relationships with pets (those that want it) or giving space (for the more nervous and anxious ones). I pride myself on being able to accurately read each pet and knowing what they need. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule which makes pet sitting amazing! I am able to watch pets while you're away and keep them on whatever schedule best works for them. I'm also available for mid-day let-outs and walks! I make sure each pet is comfortable around me. If they are happy, energetic pets- I make sure to help them get their energy out so they look forward to seeing me! If they're more reserved and nervous, I make sure to go slow so they do not see me as a threat and I do not try and cloud their space, while also reassuring them I am a safe person.

About: My journey with dogs began with our family dog, Friskie. She taught me how loving, amazing, beautiful and understanding dogs can be and I think of her often. Fast forward to 1995 when I fell in love with my own first puppy, Scrappy. My love for dogs only grows stronger with every amazing dog I meet, mine or someone else's. I've adopted/rescued 14 wonderful dogs in this time and fostered a few more. After spending 12 beautiful years with a very special dog named Vegas, I made the decision to adopt/rescue senior dogs. Every dog deserves a home where they are loved but there is a special place in my heart for the sweet older souls that suddenly lose everything familiar to them through no fault of their own. Ironically, I currently live with two young dogs, thanks to my work with Rover! Asher’s foster family hired me for daily walks and when they found themselves unable to foster him any longer, I realized how much I would miss his sweet playfulness in my life and adopted him. Asher is an energetic, exuberant and large young dog which was quite a change from life with my wonderful seniors. I thought he might enjoy the company of another young dog and started searching for the right rescue dog that would enjoy our home. Abby turned out to be the perfect match for us and especially for Asher and none of us can imagine life without her. My joy is learning each dog's personality, their habits, and what they like and what they don't. Each dog is unique and I think they are all wonderful. I would love to meet and care for your furry family member when you can't be there to provide them the love they deserve. I believe in positive training methods and patience when working with any dog. I'll rely on my love for dogs, my years of experience as a dog owner and my time helping out at a friend's boarding kennel to make sure your pet's experience is a positive and rewarding one. Dog-walking is for the dog, not the person and your dog will be allowed to walk where they want (as long as its safe), as much as they want and will have as much time as possible to sniff and explore. My 'day job’ is in accounting but my involvement with dogs has been steadily expanding on a volunteer basis over the years. I currently foster for 3 area rescues whenever possible, I am the Secretary/Treasurer for a NFP that provides financial assistance for pet care and I perform home checks for my rescues too. I am working full time right now so my availability during the week is limited but my weekends are open and I will try to work with you, if possible, for weekday needs. I have a large, fenced back yard where my dogs are free to run and play when they aren’t inside. But I love seeing the joy they take in exploring new places. I would want the same for your dog, if it is safe to do so. I believe that it is important to a dogs happiness to have new experiences and get to explore their world.

“She is amazing and goes above and beyond. My dog loves her and looks forward to his walks with her. I will use her again whenever I need someone to walk my dog. She treated him as if he is her own pet. Lovely and sweet and trustworthy.”

About: Until several years ago, I always had several dogs. I treated them like a member of the family and kept them safe and cared for. I am retired and enjoy walking. I don’t have a dog at the moment and miss the enjoyment and exercise that a dog can bring. I live on a large farm in Bealeton. I provide a safe environment where the dogs can run off leash and have fun or go for a nice walk on the leash!

About: With the exception of a few years during college, I have always had animals in my life! I grew up always having a cat and a dog in the house and taking progressively more responsibility for their care as I got older. Now, I'm owned by two dogs (a boxer mix and a lab mix) and two cats, one of which followed my boxer and I home one day and decided to stay. They are by far the best part of my day. With all these fur babies, I've run the gauntlet of pet care challenges, from pilling cats, to dealing with allergies, to working on behaviors like marking and excessive barking. I don't claim to have it all figured out, but what I do know is that it's made me incredibly patient and compassionate with any animals in my care. Plus I've learned a trick or two along the way! I currently work for myself (from home) as a research consultant. While I do have periodic meetings throughout the week, I usually have a significant amount of flexibility in my schedule during the mornings and afternoons. I often find myself going out on multiple long walks throughout the day and generally finding any excuse I can to be outside. So why not use that time to hang out with some new animal friends? My flexible schedule means that I can accommodate most any pet needs. I go for multiple walks every day both on my own and with my own dogs, so it's easy to incorporate lots of activity in your pet's day. I also have an enclosed front porch that we all love sitting outside in the shade on, just enjoying the fresh air. And on hot days, I even have a kiddie pool that one of my dogs likes to play in to cool off. Both my dogs are very friendly and would love to make new friends! One of my cats even enjoys horsing around with the dogs. My dogs have free reign in the house, but usually hang out with me. I'm happy to have your dog(s) make themself at home as well or to crate them if that's your preference.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life and I’m very used to the responsibility that comes with caring for them. I can take on any size or personality! I’m currently still in school so I am only available weekends and some late afternoons. Once school is over I’m available all summer as needed. I am currently not providing at home services just for the safety of my dogs and yours. But I am willing to go to a home and pet sit there no problem. I even have a dog seat belt in my car if transportation be needed!

About: I decided to join Rover because I found that there is a shortage/need for reliable dog walkers and boarding care.. My husband and I only have furbabies, no children. They mean everything to us. We have volunteered and served as a foster family for three different pet rescue organizations in the area for several years. I currently do volunteer work at my local church so so my schedule is generally flexible. I have time to dedicate time and attention to your furbabies. I live on two dog friendly acres with a fenced in yard. I have three friendly dogs who will love to socialize with your furbaby. I am currently on leave from work. Aside from being a foster mom to four school age kids, this is my primary work at this time. I have a fenced in yard to keep dogs safe, three dogs to keep them company and time to personally play with them as well.
