Dog Walking in Newport News

“Arianna gets all the stars and then some!! She is the VERY best!! Her communication, animal skills, and all around genuine kindness are top notch!! I worked in a small animal veterinary hospital for about six months back in the day and intially w/out further info except reviews etc. here on ROVER, from the begining, I could tell Arianna has that natural intuition+. My pup is actually a bit of a larger(~95lbs.) older guy(~10-11yr's old). He's a sweety but still very tenacious and can be a handful especially at the beginning of his walk or if he sees another neighborhood K-9 friend along the way he really wants to just say hi to. Arianna handles him w/zero issue though. Even my wife who's used to walking him finds it difficult but Arianna has a way about it that just plain works. I applaud Arianna, suggest her to anyone/everyone, and highly recommend her to potential ROVER clientel. Choose Arianna and you'll be more than happy you did. I know I am!!:) Thank you SO much, Arianna!!!! Herbie looks forward to all his future adventures w/you and is happier overall every day he gets to go:):):)”

“Joselyn was amazing with my dog. She was patient, thorough, caring, and loving. She took the time to come meet with him prior to having to care for him. Yogi loved her immediately. I would trust Joselyn with my boy again, any day! Thank you for taking care of my boy.”

“Sam came faithfully each day she was scheduled to walk Molly. She adjusted the length of the walk according to how hot it was and how Molly was acting.. Great communication after each walk with pictures included. We love having Sam care for Molly!”

“Holly has been so wonderful to work with. She responds quickly to messages and has been very accommodating to our crazy schedule. Holly has been great about sending pictures and updates from the walk, which is great to see while we're at work! Merlyn loves her!”

About: I’ve been around animals since the day I come home from the hospital to today. For my 6th birthday i was gifted my first cat to call my own from that day I knew I wanted to take care of animals. I’m available anytime on the weekends. Also I’m available before 6 AM in the mornings then I can go straight after I get out at 1 PM Monday-Friday. I can’t really answer this question because every pet is different based off of feeding schedules, exercise, medication, making sure they’re not going to hurt themselves, lastly making sure they’re comfortable.

“Anna is amazing. I have been using her every weekday for the past 4 weeks and my German Shepherd puppy loves her and still gets so excited when Anna comes to pick him up for his afternoon walk while I am at work. She is very attentive and provides thorough updates/pictures of how he did on his walk. I wouldn’t want to use anyone else to walk him.”

“Both my dog and I think Claire is the best! She was professional, prompt and a good communicator. And - she went above and beyond - giving Coltrane long walks and lots of attention. I totally recommend her and Coltrane gives her a big paws up, too!”

About: I have been in veterinary medicine for 8 years. I am confident in my ability to handle and work with many different breeds, sizes and temperaments. I’m free on the weekends and I have plenty of time to take care of your pets needs before and after work. I have time to not only let out and feed your fur baby but spend time with them. I will care for your pet per your exact instructions. I will treat your fur baby how I would want my own to be taken care of.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and caring for animals comes naturally to me. With over 10 years of hands-on experience, I’ve helped raise puppies, supported senior dogs, and provided daily care for pets of all kinds. Whether it’s feeding, walking, training, or just giving them the love they need, I treat every animal like they’re my own. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to look after their pets, and it brings me so much joy to keep them happy, safe, and healthy! I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for drop-ins, boarding, and cuddles on weekends and after 2PM on weekdays. Whether your fur baby needs mid-day playtime or dinner served with a side of affection, I’ve got it covered! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play, a friendly and well-behaved dog who enjoys having company. If your pet prefers their own space, I’m happy to separate or crate as needed. I provide a calm, clean, and loving home where every animal is treated like family — whether they’re here for a quick visit or an extended stay.

About: I have been raised around animals my whole life and cannot recall one year where I did not have a pet. Everything from dogs and cat to hermit crabs I have loved and housed. I have taken care of multiple family pets at once. I adore hours long walks, so taking a dog along for the journey is always a pleasure. I am currently a full time college student and do most of my work at night so I am mostly free to watch the little fur babies. If you are wondering about sitting, just send me a message and I will happily set it up. In my home I currently have one dog and two cats. The three all require medication which I administer. I walk my dog on a regular, light schedule since she is getting along in age and cannot walk too far anymore. I also groom all three animals. Everything from bathing to clipping their claws. I have taken care of other people pets quite a bit and have found that I fall in love quickly with any animal that I am put in front of. I am excited to take meet and take care of your fur baby.

“She’s an amazing dog walker! I can’t wait to book with her again!”

About: I've been working with and studying animal behavior since I was 10 years old, and my passion for dogs has only grown stronger over the years. With over a decade of hands-on experience in training and caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs, behaviors, and how to effectively communicate with them. I currently work full-time for a mobile dog grooming company, where I handle dogs daily with patience, confidence, and care. Whether you're looking for someone to walk your dog, provide basic training, or help with behavior issues, you can trust that your furry friend is in experienced and loving hands. I also offer a very flexible schedule and can accommodate most needs with plenty of notice. Whether you're looking for dependable dog walking, basic obedience training, or help with behavior issues, I’m here to give your pup the attention and care they deserve. Your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. When in my care, you can rest easy knowing they’re in a secure, loving environment. I have a fully fenced-in backyard where they can play safely, and the property is equipped with cameras for added peace of mind. I’m committed to following any specific dietary needs or routines your dog may have, and I make sure they get their daily walks for both exercise and mental stimulation. If your pup needs regular brushing or combing, I’m happy to handle that too—keeping them clean, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way.

“Mary was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Yesterday she took care of our dogs all day during our wedding. She checked in on them three times and even delivered our dogs to our wedding venue so our brother could walk our dogs down the aisle during the ceremony. She hung out for the wedding, and then delivered them back to our hotel. She was so pleasant, followed every recommendation and request we made, and our dogs were so well cared for! She even went above and beyond walking the dogs for a long time before and after the wedding! If we lived locally in Newport News we would DEFINITELY us her again. I highly recommend her and her services!”

About: I am an experienced pet owner of both cats and dogs, dispensing medicines including pills and cytopoint injections. I have recently retired and now get to spend time getting some exercise while enjoying the company of your furry friends. It would be an honor to be entrusted with the care of your furry friend, as I believe that they are valued members of a family and should be treated as such. I'm available to provide walks and stop by to visit on short notice, and I have no problem with baths and brushing, but I'm not as comfortable with nail trims. I'll be happy to water plants or bring in the mail if you're out of town for a bit while visiting your loved one. I am available to visit with your buddy on any day of the week and on short notice. I'm not opposed to nighttime visits with established clients. I do not offer visits in my own home, but will give care and cuddles in yours, abiding by your house rules. I will ensure that your pet is treated with kindness and care while ensuring their safety in all environments.

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. My first actual pet I got to call my own was a cockapoo puppy named Duke, he was my first lap dog too. However, don’t let my baby fool you I have also had hounds that screamed and ran across the yard and the house. I am experienced with cats and dogs with special needs to. My grandmothers and friends animals all have had dietary or medical needs that I never mind having to help take care of. My passion is loving animals and making sure they live a happy life. Trust that your fur baby will be in safe and caring hands. I am currently a Culinary Specialist that works in the Navy. Even though my schedule is a busy one I get a whole week every other week within the month of free time. It can get boring and lonely, so I have decided on my free time to give my services to those who might need someone to pop their head in or fully stay if needed. I have an apartment that is in a fenced in area of Newport News. It’s all military private housing so it has the safety that you would be looking for. However, if you have a big dog I would have to go and visit your home due to complications of navy housing.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for about 5 years, and ever since, I’ve loved them! I couldn’t see myself without a pet. I love caring, playing, and cuddling with them!

Toys, treats, and crates are available as well if needed for the pet!
