Dog Walkers in Newville, VA

About: I’ve been taking care of fur babies since I was 12. I treat every fur baby with the upmost kindness, care, and compassion. Your baby will be in good hands. I have an open availability. I am available for boarding throughout the week and weekends. I can also walk your baby as needed. Whatever you need, I’m here. I have a large fenced in yard and a poodle to keep your baby in good company. There is a dog park down the road from me and plenty of area to take walks.

About: Hi! I’m MacKenzie, your pet’s new best friend and part-time squirrel scout. While I might not have a fancy pet-sitting degree, I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, and my own dog (a.k.a. my four-legged child) has taught me plenty—especially about basic training, reactivity, and the art of treating every leaf like it’s a masterpiece. I’m also a pro at giving meds and following care instructions to a T, so your pet’s routine won’t miss a beat. Plus, as an avid hiker, I’m more than happy to take active pups on day hikes for a little extra adventure! I get that every walk is a big deal, every squirrel is a personal nemesis, and if there’s a cat involved, they’re probably running the household. And yes, I’m here for my own steps too, because walking is my therapy! I'm currently in between full-time jobs, so I have ample flexibility for pet care throughout the week—perfect for midday walks, medication administration, or just dropping by to say “hello”! If your pet lives more than 30 minutes from Petersburg, they should be comfortable being home alone for up to 8 hours once I return to full-time work. For now, my schedule is wide open, especially on weekends! Routine is important to me, and it’s no doubt important to your pets! My primary goal is always to limit the amount of change, so feeding and potty break times will be strictly adhered to. If there’s valuable training you’ve worked hard to implement, it won’t go to waste! Don’t be shy about letting me know exactly which cues and commands to use, and any other little personality quirks I should know about.

“Carlita is super responsible, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. The dogs love her and we truly appreciate how she's been able to help us get their leash training back on track after a lazy winter. Thanks for being a great new best friend to the pups!”

About: Ive been around dogs and cats my entire life, as well as pet sitting for family and friends. From small and big, to old and young, even the silly or shy. My empathy for animals will make sure your pet is comfortable while their mom or dad is away, because our pets are our family!! I am currently in school full time and looking for a part time job. But as of currently i’m 100% free to take care of your furry friends! Whether in my home or a client's, I always prioritize a pet’s safety. I do a walk-through of the space to remove hazards, secure doors and gates, and ensure all supplies (like food, meds, leashes) are stored safely and used correctly. I also follow all feeding and medication instructions carefully and never leave pets unsupervised in risky situations. Trust starts with clear communication. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and quirks. I offer regular updates, photos, and check-ins so pet parents feel connected and confident. I treat every pet like family, earning their trust with patience, calm energy, and lots of affection. At my home, I maintain a quiet, pet-friendly space with comfy bedding, clean bowls, and plenty of playtime and cuddles. In clients' homes, I respect their routines and try to keep everything consistent to reduce stress. I bring a calm, warm presence so pets feel secure and relaxed—whether they’re in their own space or mine.

About: I promise you trust, communication, comfortability, and great care! I love pets! I grew up with a Golden Retriever named Skippy! I now own my beautiful mut mix of Lab, Pit and Blood Hound.

About: Been feeling stressed about your dog cooped up at home? Want your cat to judge a new caretaker in their life? Look no further!

My heart is full when I get to see either a happy dog tail-wag and smile, or a purrfectly content cat make biscuits.

About: Hello, my name is Taijah and I’m a huge animal lover! I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life and they are a big passion of mine. I’ve spent several years on a farm taking care of dogs, horses, and chickens. I currently own two sweet fur babies that I love very much.

About: Hello!! My name is Shealawna. You can call me Shea. I have to start with how I remember my first experiences with dogs and cats, and that began from my earliest of memories as I was raised by a mother who worked in a kennel and owned her own grooming business. Because of this, I am well versed in proper animal care, taking this on in my own way now through Rover and word of mouth. We always had animals coming by and we were constantly learning about new breeds and how cats and dogs have their own personalities and that we are to respect as if they were children or seniors. I myself have 3 children and I raise my children to work along side me at time so that they learn for themselves a trade that has been passed down. I have regulars that I house sit for. One of my favorites is one with 5 dogs, 2 pigs, chickens, roosters and turkeys:). So please if you go out of town and need me I can accommodate my life to work with caring for your beloved home and pets while you are gone. I also do dog-walking and drop-in visits when you have long hours or special circumstances. In my profile you can see pictures of some of the pets I have cared for. I have many references, as I have many repeat clients as I truely love what I get to do and hope to exceed your expectations. Let’s get together. Please feel free to message or call me. I like to meet in person before I care for your pet so I know that I am fully suited to care for them. Hello! I am married and I have a 6, 11& 12 year old. One of which usually comes with me when house-sitting. I have a very flexible schedule so let’s see if I can meet you and your pets needs:). At home I have a friendly female boxer-bully mix. She gets along with just about every other dog and/or cat. I also have large yard when your pet is staying in my home. I am currently a stay at home mom and wife of a man dedicated to his profession, and who has served our country. I say that just because I hope it shows his level of support to my chosen profession. He supports us and sometimes steps in to help when needed. You can trust me to care for your pet and put their needs up front and center during my time with them. Your pet will never go a long period without me and their needs will be a great priority. I can send you updates or photos often and respond to messages from you.
