Dog Walking Museums

About: Hi! I’m Eliza, I recently finished grad school at VCU and am doing some freelance creative work currently, so I have a very flexible and available schedule to help with your pets! I've loved animals my whole life and have grown up with dogs. When I was younger, I helped raise and train one of our dogs from puppyhood, where I learned how to care for a dog's daily needs. Four years ago, I adopted my first cat, and caring for her has given me plenty of experience with feline care as well. Whether it's walking dogs, dropping in for feedings, playing with energetic pets, scooping litter and refreshing water, or just keeping pets company, I'll care for your animals as if they were my own. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I'm happy to adapt to whatever helps them feel comfortable and cared for. I am post grad school and currently doing freelance work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I am very free in the afternoons typically. I will take extreme care in caution when in people’s homes. As someone who has used this as well for my own cat, I understand the fear with letting people in your home. I can assure you I will treat your home with the same respect I would want my own.

“Lee was awesome, very responsive and professional. My dog is very difficult and it wasn’t a match with Lee, but I would highly recommend him to anyone!! He is a trustworthy dog sitter (and Bugs loved him!)”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have always loved being around them. In February, I got my first puppy of my own, a large, high-energy breed, and have been raising and training him myself. That experience has taught me a lot about puppy care, leash walking, basic training, and handling energetic dogs. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they get the care, attention, and exercise they need! I have just graduated college and will be starting my masters next month. This summer I am very flexible with time and spend most days with my puppy, or taking care of others! I have a very friendly dog that is 8 months old. He loves to play and go on many adventures. We are familiar with several nearby parks and trails for long walks!

About: I’m attentive, dependable, and genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and routine. I grew up around dogs (my mom fostered Bostons) so I’m comfortable with dogs who have different temperaments, energy levels, and needs. I’m also happy to update you with photos and messages if that makes you more comfortable, so you can feel confident your dog is happy and well cared for while you’re away. I follow instructions closely, whether that means sticking to a specific feeding or walking schedule, giving extra attention to a senior dog, or making sure a high-energy pup gets plenty of exercise and playtime. I'll be the next-best thing for your furry loved one to having you there. I work online and have a flexible schedule. I like to get outside as often as possible and am athletic, so will take any chance I can get to walk (or run) around. Also happy to just sit around for pets and snuggles. I care for pets by keeping their normal routines as consistent as possible. I follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and bedtime, and I make sure pets get plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Again, I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and keep things clean and secure. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away.

“Grant was so amazing to my little Loretta! Can’t recommend him enough!”

Maxwell S.

“Kacey was great! Professional, responsible, and highly communicative. Most importantly, the dogs immediately loved her! Would definitely hire again.”

Anne C.

“Emma gives out pup the one-on-one attention he craves. She takes care of him the way we would. If you want a personal touch with your fur baby, go with Emma. She is the best!”

Dominque W.

“Nicole does such a great job with my baby. On days when it’s too hot she still makes sure he goes out and gets playtime and love. I absolutely love that she takes multiple pics to show what they’ve been up to. Pork Chop enjoys her visits so much”

Felicia J.

“Mary came through in a pinch when I needed a last minute dog walker! I appreciate her quick response to my request and even timed the walk perfectly around the rain so that my guy would go outside! Thank you!”

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats since I was about 16 years old and have always had a pet of my own! I am very flexible with scheduling and am always looking to help out when I can. I do work full time, however my role is very flexible and fully remote! Therefore, I am able to fit work around pet care on most days! I do have a vehicle as well. I have a cat (a scardy cat), so am unable to board other cats or dogs at my apartment. However, happy to come to you for drop-ins or overnight stays.

“Nevaeh walks my dogs once a day and it is such a retro know that she is there for them while I am at work. She is an absolute sweetheart and even my more stand offish dogs loves her. Could not recommend met more!”
