Dog Walking in Oakwood Cemetery, Richmond, VA

“Riley was amazing! Helped me out on relatively short notice for a few days while I had to be away at work, she took great care of my two sweet, energetic girls and followed all of my instructions and even came over to meet the dogs and get acquainted beforehand! Would highly recommend!”

Leah M.

Raney M.

“Devin was so incredibly kind and patient when my puppy wasn't feeling well and made a mess everywhere. He has also been so flexible and truly helped me out! Deeply grateful for his help and will definitely be a repeat customer!”

Arianna & Nico S.

“Maria and Luis provided excellent care for our 15.5 year old dog. They gave her the slow walks she needed, food and medicine. She was very content when we got home after a 7-day getaway. I highly recommend them.”

Lisa H.

“Emily was absolutely amazing! She was great at communicating, and even helped out with some Doug chores after a chaotic morning for my boyfriend and me! As a first time Rover-user, Emily made me feel at ease with all of the pictures she shared of Doug! Doug absolutely LOVED his walks and would be passed out whenever I got home. Whenever we need a dog walker, Emily will definitely be top of our list!”

About: I’m a professional behavior analyst so it is no challenge at all for me to help with puppies, anxious pets, and bully breeds! All paws are welcome aboard! I manage a behavior analysis practice so I have a fairly flexible schedule! I can help with drop off and pick up if it makes it easier for you even! I have a fully fenced in yard with dog door for free 24/7 access to come and go as pups please! I also have two lovely doggo’s of my own to welcome yours, keep them company and show them the ropes! I can do light training, including crate training.

About: 25 years of experience caring for my own dogs. Friends and neighbors also rely on me to pet sit (includes exercise, play, meals, and meds) I work from home in Church Hill and am able to provide care in the morning, mid day, and evening. I do my best to ensure that they stick to their usual routine. All dogs also get a leashed walk - length and pace depends on their physical condition (older dogs may be more interested in sniffing and strolling while younger pups need to burn more energy). I also provide some playtime inside or outside in a fenced area (if available). Meals and medication are distributed as instructed.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was a child and have always loved it! I am unable to have a pet at this time, so spending time with other people’s pets brings me so much joy. I’m hoping to play a part in keeping your pets active, along with myself! I currently work Thursday through Sunday, with some flexibility, depending on the week. I’m available to walk your pups in the morning on any weekday and later in the day Monday through Wednesday I currently cannot have any pets in my home, but am definitely looking to walk the pups through whatever neighborhood you live in. I’ve lived in Richmond for 10 years now and am comfortable walking pretty much anywhere!

“Evie braved the snow to walk the pets!! Highly recommend. Ty!!”

“Nick was great! He was able to help me out last minute and was great with my pup!”

Lillie D.

“Shelley is so sweet with my pup! Very communicative as well, always leaves a nice note about how the visit went, which makes me feel like my lil guy is in good hands :)”

Abby V.

“There are not enough positive things I can say about Alyssa and her sitting with Little Man. He loved seeing her, which I really appreciated since he is rarely with anyone else. Even my other dog (service dog, who went with me) loved spending time with her. I was having mobility issues, so she also helped with anything else we needed. Went above and beyond, which we really, really appreciated. Thank you, Alyssa, and hope we can see you again soon.”

Julie W.

“Lucy recently started walking my pup, Ollie, and she has been great! Today she walked him in the rain and I truly appreciate it.”

Reagan A.

“I forgot to book my walks for the week and I work 12 hour shifts, so it is imperative that my tiny guy ( who refuses to go inside on puppy pads) be taken out. Bridgette saved the day, even with such short notice. My dog also loves her. I definitely recommend her to anyone.”

Christine D.

“Hollie is the best! He was so accommodating when I called last minute to walk my Taterbug (especially since he is not easy to walk). Hollie just does a great job all around!”

About: I have been taking care of pets professionally for 8 years and have been taking care of my own personal pets for 15 years. I love being outside and I love playing and spending time caring for animals of all kinds. I know some very good walking paths and parks in the area. I have a very flexible schedule and can spend as much time as is needed with the dogs and other animals. I have pet sat for many different kinds of animals and many breeds of dogs. I have experience both pet sitting where I need to stay in the house overnight and pet sitting where I just need to stop by throughout the day. I have a lot of experience dog walking in the area. I have also watched numerous cats and have had cats of my own. I am currently working part time so I have ample daytime and evening availability for pet care most days of the week and over holidays. I follow directions explicitly to ensure the best care for all pets I am watching. I have experience safely walking and playing with pets individually or together.

“Rachel has been my weekly sitter for about 3 months now, my pup and I both love her!!! I’ve seen a huge change in my dogs personality of being much happier since Rachel came into our lives. She takes him on nice LONG walks, takes great pictures, and is so so sweet and understanding of schedule changes. You will not be disappointed in having her watch your fur babies!!”
