Dog Walkers in Olive, VA

“Jessica is very sweet and took the time to let our dog warm up to her. She took great care of our pup and kept us updated on the walk from when she got there until the end. We would definitely use her again for the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. I work full time at a grooming salon as a pet bather. And I have experience working at an animal hospital and a pet sitting company. I’m able to watch any sized dog and any age from puppies to seniors. I also offer simple grooming services! I regularly take multiple dogs on hikes for at least 1 hour and am used to watching large groups of dogs at a time I’m currently working full time, 5 days a week. I am free all day Tuesday, and Sunday. But I’m also free after 4pm any other day . I can pet sit overnight any day and do drop in visits in the morning, evening, and at night. I am unable to board dogs at my own home but at a clients home I can take your dogs for both short and long walks. I can even take them to a park for a nature hike. I will feed them at their scheduled times and if wanted by owners I can crate them. If medication is needed I am comfortable with giving it to them. I will give them plenty of love and lots of playtime. If wanted I can also give nail trims, brushing, ear cleaning and baths as I work full time as a pet bather.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was very young, I grew up my whole life with dogs and cats, of all ages (puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats), I absolutely love animals, and am flexible to adjust to your pets specific needs 😊 I am currently working as a Private Investigator part time, and am joining the Marine Corps, however, I know my schedule in advance and am pretty much 100% free whenever you need someone to look after your baby! I am very flexible and understand that pets can be spontaneous sometimes! I am able to adjust to whatever you and your pets needs are!

About: I have been taking care of dogs for 10 years, whether mine or those belonging to family. I have trained puppies as well as taken care of my dogs that have reached their golden years, and helped them over the rainbow bridge. My top two priorities are communication and safety. Any need you have regarding your pet is of utmost importance because pets aren’t just animals - they’re family! I have two dogs at home, one is 1 1/2 years old and the other is nearly 4. We walk 3 times daily, as well as plenty of enrichment time inside. Enrichment depends on the day, it can be playing with toys, eating treats from snuffle mats, lick mats, or just running around with them until they’re as tired as I am! Safety is my biggest priority. I follow instructions very carefully, I keep a close eye on your fur babies both in the house and outside. I can send real time updates that way you know exactly what is going on at all times, and I will always make sure to ask questions when needed. I can recreate your pets routine as closely as possible, and I will always bring positive energy!

About: We provide care in our home and treat your babies like our own. We walk them multiple times a day, love on them, take them on field trips when possible, we spoil them rotten. We can help with crate training, potty training, house Manners etc. We have experience with Senior dogs ( most recent passed this December 2024 at 15 years old). I have had diabetic pets so am willing to administer meds as required. I have volunteered with a local rescue for 4 years now and have fostered for that long as well and have experience dealing with many difficult behaviors like resource guarding, counter surfing and more. Here at Bark n Kuddles we are a husband and Wife team so our dogs are very rarely alone. I teach high school so during the school day my husband takes the pups on walks, and outings and provides play time and snuggle time. When I am home we share the responsibilities and our kids are trained so they love on your babies too but they know boundaries and are very good at being mini pack leaders. The only time your pet would be alone is if we had to go somewhere as a family where dogs could not come but we have two pups of our own to keep them company but again that is rare that someone is not home. We only take one or two clients at a time as we have a small home but we take the dogs out on walks (Distance depends on the dogs need but could be 2 to 3 miles easily) and I have access to a big fenced in yard that my family owns should dogs need off leash time and play time (under our watch at all times of course). We do crate dogs when home alone for their safety and to protect the house but they get yummy kongs with frozen treats and other treats as long as owner is ok with it. We love on them how the pups want to be loved on. If they want to lay next to us we let them. If they prefer to just chill off to the side that's all good too. We also follow all owners instructions whether in our home or yours and give your baby the attention they need to keep them happy and safe while you are gone.

About: Growing up, I've become no stranger to a house full of pets. In the past 15 years as a pet owner, I’ve dealt with it all from those early puppy crazy days to gentle senior care. You can rely on me to feed, walk, and play with your pets. My job is to see to your pet’s needs and make their time spent away from you a little more bearable and filled with lots of love 💕 I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of flexible time on my calendar to check in on your pets: morning, afternoon, and night, Being away from your pets for any period of time can be stressful for pet and owner alike. Therefore, it is my top priority to mitigate that as much as possible by sticking to the routines your pet is used to while keeping them safe and happy.

About: I’ve always had pets in the house for as long as I can remember , I have 3 dogs of my own as well as 2 bunnies. I also take care of other people’s dogs from time to time. I love animals and I always get along with them well , I know each animals needs is unique and am willing to do exactly what they need! I can always find time for the animals! I do community college right now and only one class in person so my schedule is very flexible ! I have very energetic animals so them being jumpy or a little crazy will not scare me off whatsoever . From puppies to senior animals I am definitely able to provide the care they need!

About: I've been taking care of my dogs for as long as I can remember. I always make sure to feel out the dogs I'm with and treat every dog with their own specific set of needs. I have exience with anxious dogs, intensely active dogs, brushing my pet Pyranese and many other types of dogs. Please let me know as soon as possible when you'll be needing care so I can fit it into my schedule. Despite trying my best to be as flexible as possible for people, I often have people ask for a sitter and then ghost me. If you do not need services from me or change your mind let me know as soon as possible. I will not reschedule meet and greets. I can do a lot of interactive playing with dogs that need to and am very good at tiring dogs out with walks that include allowing them to experience all the sensory things they want. Sometimes I take my own dog to fields. Or if a dog is looking for attention if just to be left alone I can do that too.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life, and i’ve always loved animals. Anyone who knows me will tell you that my dog is the only thing i ever talk about! I can’t wait to meet you and your pets :) I am currently in school so my schedule tends to be all over the place, feel free to reach out and we can see if I would be a good fit for you! Currently i am not doing boarding in my home, however meet and greets beforehand are always welcomed and I will provide pictures of your pet throughout my visit with them.

“She’s amazing! She keeps me updated the whole time and gives my dog water or anything else she needs before she leaves.”

About: I have cared for dogs and cats for many years and have a true love for animals. As a pet owner myself with 2 dogs. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and caring to look after your furry family members. Animals have always been wonderful companions in my life, and I enjoy providing them with love, attention, exercise, and care while helping pet owners feel at ease. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or companionship, I treat every pet like they are my own. I currently work from home. I am free and able to care for your animal 2-3 times a day within short distance. On the weekends further distance. I provide loving, attentive, and reliable care for pets both in my home and in my client’s home. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive daily exercise, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routines, and any special instructions provided by the owner to help them feel safe and comfortable. In my client’s home, I help maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress while also keeping the home clean and secure. During walks and visits, I prioritize safety, patience, and positive interaction so every pet feels cared for and loved while their owner is away.

About: I began caring for my cat, Tori, who has allergies and respiratory issues, and through that experience I learned how to give medication, monitor breathing, and provide gentle emotional support. Taking care of her taught me how deeply pets trust us and how important consistent, loving care is. I want to bring that same compassion to every pet I look after. I currently don’t work part time or attend school, so I have plenty of time every day, including weekends, to care for your pets with full attention and love. 1️⃣ Clean, safe, and caring pet care 2️⃣ Safe, gentle, and loving care 3️⃣ Hygienic and caring pet service 4️⃣ Clean hands, safe pets, happy hearts 5️⃣ Gentle care with safety first

About: I have pet sat for many cats and dogs over the years. I have a very finicky Maine coon cat myself.

I would love to look after your exotics animals as well. I currently work full time 8-4pm. I am off on The weekends. I am free most afternoons for a walk or a drop in for your fur babies. I can stop by early and on lunch breaks if needed. My fur feather and scaley babies all get fresh water around the clock. They are fed on a schedule and are very loved. I love cuddling and consoling animals. I understand my animals are sad when I leave and I will take extra time to give extra love and cuddles.

“Barbara has been a God send. I was worried about leaving my pups at home all day but I don’t worry anymore. My dogs are small and don’t trust right away but Barbara has a magic touch—love. They know she is a good person and look forward to walking with her. I can’t say enough about the way she cares for my dogs. She’s a welcome addition to our family.”
