Dog Walking in Oak Grove, Richmond, VA

“Riley was fantastic! We are new at this (first family dog) as we have a puppy and Riley was a huge help to jump in at the last minute. She was kind enough to fit us in her already tightly booked schedule as we were in a huge bind! She updated throughout the day with pictures and videos. Thanks Riley!! We will definitely contact her again!”

“kathleen did a great job with my pups while i was out of town. i will absolutely be booking with her again! i have three aussies - high energy and highly velcro. she spent a few weeks doing drop ins leading up to this trip to build trust with them. during my time away, she followed my instructions to a tee, sent long updates (which i loved), and lots of pictures! as a dog mom, i can read their expressions and they looked so happy in all their pics and that made me feel so relaxed while i was away.”

“Kade was SO great with Kelso! This was my first time using Rover and I felt so much better knowing my pup was in good hands. Kade is very communicative, sent lots of pics, and went above and beyond - taking a package in and making sure my pup Kelso has enough water. Definitely recommend!!”

“Katherine is wonderful! Clearly a dog lover - she takes extra care and time to get to know your pup and make them feel comfortable around her. We use her for daily walks and are so glad we found her.”

“Kate was fabulous with my dog and my roommate's dog from the very beginning! My girl is usually loud and unfriendly with strangers but warmed up to Kate almost immediately. Everything about the experience was wonderful and I'd absolutely recommend Kate.”

About: I love absolutely love dogs! I work from home as a Generative AI associate so my schedule is very flexible and ideal for taking care of your dog when you're busy or away. I'm available mornings, afternoons, or evenings, basically whenever you need. And my apartment is located in Shockhoe Bottom near two parks, ideal for walks. I grew up with Lhasa Apso pups (Cassie and Teddy) and have been dog-sitting and dog-walking for about 5 years. I've taken care of a variety of breeds, ranging from a Chinese crested to a boxer-pitbull mix. I'm a very compassionate, gentle, and patient person. I love spending time with dogs and look forward to meeting yours! :) I work from home, so pet care fits into my schedule super easily. I can take dogs out for potty breaks and walks as needed. I live in an apartment, so my living situation better aligns with smaller dog breeds. But park proximity still allows for walks and outside time.

“I cannot recommend Sierra highly enough! My dog, Mickey, ran down the hall to meet her on her second visit. He’s never done that. She obviously had Mickey’s seal of approval immediately. Sierra is conscientious, very communicative, and extremely kind. She has my complete trust and respect, because she treats Mickey as if he were her own. To me that is the absolute best quality in a dog walker! Choosing Sierra as your dog walker is the absolute correct decision! Having Sierra walk your dog will keep you worry free and happy while your pup gets good exercise, has fun and is treated like family 😃”

About: I'm a professional dog trainer, and I've been working with animals professionally for over 10 years, and I have had dogs and cats in my family ever since I was born, and grew up training and walking them. I have had the pleasure of having two golden retrievers, a border collie, and now I have a 4 year old black lab named Rosie, and tortoiseshell cat who acts like a dog. Even though I train dogs and their humans, I walk dogs as supplemental income, and I would love to meet your little (or big) bundles of joy! I’m currently self-employed, so my schedule varies. But I am typically available on Mondays and Thursdays, but I will update my schedule weekly or monthly to reflect what my schedule really looks like. I have the experience to exercise dogs who are a little more on the high-energy side, or dogs who just want to sniff everything outside for a while and then get some pets and snuggles.

“Pedro is wonderful! Tali was in good hands. He came over beforehand to meet her and learn more about her. We will definitely use Pedro again!!”

About: Hi, I'm Miki! I've had dogs my whole life, and adopted one of my very own (Scout) about 4 years ago! With several years of personal and professional experience, I'm confident I can provide a happy and safe space for your pet. :) As a dog owner, I know how hard it can be to find someone you trust with your pet, and my goal is to give my client's peace of mind knowing that their babies are being cared for just as I would my own dog! At the moment, I only host one dog at a time to make sure they get my full attention (or two from the same household). I have a ton of experience and knowledge with dogs, but particularly anxious/reactive dogs and am always happy to accommodate any special needs/requests. I work from home a few days a week and have an open weekend schedule, so Scout and I would love having another friend around to keep us company! We typically go on a minimum of 3 walks a day (morning, afternoon and night) for anywhere from 20 minutes- 1+ hours. Between walks, I have plenty of toys and mentally stimulating gadgets that Scout would be happy to share. :) While I don't have a yard, my neighborhood is the perfect dog-friendly spot with lots of trails, streams and parks! If your dog is hanging with us, you can expect an itinerary full of very dog centered activities (as usual) haha. I'm experienced working with low and high energy dogs and more than happy to follow your dogs typical schedule- whatever that may be! To maintain safe and calm environment for all pets, I do require that dogs are crate trained and feel comfortable being crated if I need to leave the house for a short time.

“Ashley is very sweet and communicative, she follows directions. she also took great care of my baby and look forward to another walk soon! Thank you so much for taking care of him!”

About: Hello there! I'm Jessica. I have a long, lifelong passion and love for taking care of dogs and cats. I pride myself on being able to work with all breeds, ages, and backgrounds of dogs, from disabled dogs or rescue dogs. Every dog has its own personality and quirks. I take time to understand their boundaries and needs, and tailor their walks and playtime to them. I understand that every dog is unique, so is their schedule, such as requirements, favorite activities and preferences. I'm happy to adjust accordingly. I will give frequent updates on our walk or drop in from how they are feeling and new pictures to share our time together. After our walk I will ensure they have fresh clean water and feel safe and comfortable. I have spent many years caring for different dogs with different temperaments. I am equipped with the knowledge and skills to handle various situations. I can understand a dog's body language to detect anxiety, stress, and even aggression. I carry a spare leash and use appropriate sturdy leash, collar and harness. I will keep updates with you and keep emergency contacts such as the dog's Vet if provided and I will always immediately contact you if an emergency arises.

About: Hello! My name is Olivia, and I bring over 8 years of hands-on pet care experience. Having grown up with animals and cared for pets throughout my life, I understand the importance of providing reliable, compassionate, and attentive care. My background includes working primarily with dogs and cats, though I also have experience caring for a variety of other pets. What sets me apart as a sitter is my ability to adapt to each pet’s unique needs. I have experience with puppies, who require consistency, patience, and play, as well as senior pets, who often need extra gentleness, structure, and specialized attention. My priority is always to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away. I am highly dependable, flexible with scheduling, and committed to maintaining your pet’s normal routines so they feel right at home. You can trust that your furry family member will receive not just basic care, but genuine love and companionship. I currently work part-time, typically in the evenings, which gives me plenty of flexibility during the day to provide quality care for your pets. Because of this, I’m able to dedicate time for walks, play, feeding, and companionship when pets need it most. My availability during the week may vary slightly, but I keep my schedule up to date and am happy to work with owners to accommodate their needs. Weekends are generally wide open, making me especially available for longer stays or more extended care. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. Since I no longer have a fenced yard, I make sure dogs are always leashed and supervised on walks or outdoor time to ensure their safety. Inside, I provide a calm and secure environment where pets can feel comfortable and at ease. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely and keep a careful eye on their safety—whether that means securing doors and gates, monitoring food and water, or ensuring they get the right amount of exercise and play.

About: Pets are great blessings to our lives and therefore deserve to be treated with the utmost respect and care we can give them. I will treat your pet as if he or she is my own and ensure they are well-taken care of! I grew up owning a dog and have since added 2 more to my family. I shared the responsibilities of feeding them, playing with them, and caring for each dog with my family members. I would be grateful for the opportunity to get to know and care for your pet! I will be free to care for your pet during both weekdays and weekends. I will have more availability during the summer. Can pet-sit overnight on weekdays as well. I will send pictures of your pet for each walk or stay I do. I am also happy to meet with families to get to know the pet before care starts. I can also be reached by phone or email if anything comes up.
