Dog Walkers in Paris, VA

“I used Kim for the 5 months I was in Virginia as a traveler. She was absolutely amazing! My boys just fell in love with her. If I’m ever that way again, I will definitely be booking her!”

Denise C.

“Sherry took our menagerie of dogs and cats in stride when she arrived and she handled my dog Duncan with ease during the walk. She obviously loves animals and my dog, who is sometimes shy with strangers, immediately liked her and will be happy to see her the next time she comes. I highly recommend her if you need a good caretaker for your pets.”

“Karen brings her son and the two of them take my pup out every day. She obviously has fun and they are really good to her. I highly recommend her.”

About: Ive been an animal lover since I was a child. Making friends with all the pets on my street. Bring home strays I find. Animals feel naturally comfortable with me and can sense my gentle spirit. I can make the most anxious pet feel loved and safe. I have house sit for my coworkers and bosses. To trust me with your pet would be like trusting me with your child. And I treat them just like one of my own. I am looking forward to meeting your pet and making them feel loved and safe. I am a stay at home mom of two girls that are natural animal lovers too. They are middle school and highschool age. They have a gentle caring spirit with animals too. Just like their mom. I take my dog to the park twice a day to walk or play in the dog park. I have partially fenced in back yard with plenty of acres to run or explore on leash. I live on a dead end road in the country with less traffic. My house has always been pet friendly and pets can cuddle with me or my children on the beds and sofa. They are family like us and have free range. For cats I have a door I can keep shut to the living room so they can be safe and still have plenty of room to explore or find soft comfortable hiding spaces. I currently own one dog who is friendly with all other pets but if the other pet feels uncomfortable I have plenty of space to keep separate. I also own two cats that come in and out through their own special area that's all theirs. I have two children that are older and know how to interact gently with animals and love to spoil them. I go to the dog park daily with my dog and enjoy walking with her in the park. Your pet will get plenty of attention, activities and exercise while being in a safe environment.

“Yaz does a great job with my two large energetic dogs! They love her and she does a great job communicating with me”

About: I've never been without a dog in my life and have always been a true dog lover. Caring for all of the sweet babies comes naturally to me, and I'd love to share that same love and attention with your baby/bestfriend! I'd love to work with your schedule. Weekends and evenings work best for me. I also don't mind driving a bit to come walk your pup! I will not be bringing any dogs back to my home but will absolutely spend as much time as needed with your pup in their natural habitat!

About: “Compassionate Care for All Creatures – Big, Small, and Furry 🐕🐈🐴” Hi, I’m Virginia — owner of Virginia’s Haven LLC, where pets of all kinds are treated like family. From playful pups and cozy cats to barn animals and reactive dogs, I bring years of experience, patience, and love to every pet I care for. Whether you need daily dog walks, drop-in cat care, house visits for your senior pet, or even a calm hand during end-of-life transitions, I’m here for you and your animals every step of the way. I also offer pet taxi services to help get your furry loved ones where they need to go — vet appointments, grooming, or even just home from daycare. At Virginia’s Haven, it’s not just about pet sitting — it’s about creating peace of mind, compassionate support, and a second home for your animals. I’m available 7 days a week, all year round, including holidays. I know how important consistent, reliable care is — and I’ll always do my best to integrate you and your pets into my schedule, even during busy times. Whether it’s a last-minute walk, a weekend getaway, or long-term support, I’m here to help whenever you need me. 💖 🏡 How I Care for Pets in Their Own Home At Virginia’s Haven, I know that some pets feel most comfortable in familiar surroundings. Caring for pets in their own home means they can stick to their normal environment, scents, and routines, which helps reduce stress and keep them happy. When providing care in your home, I offer: 🐾 Familiar Routines — Keeping mealtimes, walks, and play sessions consistent with your pet’s normal schedule. 🛏️ Comfort in Their Own Space — Allowing your pet to sleep in their favorite spot or cuddle up with their usual blanket. 🦴 Play & Enrichment — Interactive play, enrichment activities, and plenty of attention tailored to your pet’s personality. 💊 Special Care — Administering medications or following specific care instructions for pets with medical or behavioral needs. 📸 Updates for Peace of Mind — Regular photos and updates so you know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away. This approach allows pets to remain relaxed and secure, while still receiving the same level of love and attention they would in my own home. ⸻ 🐶 How I Care for Pets in My Home At Virginia’s Haven, your pets are treated like part of the family — welcomed into a calm, loving, and structured environment where their comfort and safety come first. When caring for pets in my home, I provide: 🐾 Safe, Supervised Introductions 🛏️ Cozy, Designated Rest Areas 🦴 Plenty of Playtime, Enrichment, and Love 📆 Routine and Structure to help them feel secure 🐶 Individual Attention — especially for pets with anxiety or special needs I understand that every animal is different, which is why I tailor care based on your pet’s personality, preferences, and comfort level. ⸻ 🐕‍🦺 Important Note About My Own Dog 🐕‍🦺 I also have a reactive dog of my own who lives with me full-time. She’s incredibly loved and well-managed, but she does take some time to warm up to new dogs — we call her our “nervous nelly.” Because of this: • I use slow, controlled introductions • I monitor all interactions carefully • I may keep pets separated until I’m confident they’re comfortable Your pet’s emotional well-being is just as important as their physical safety, and I’ll always make thoughtful, professional decisions based on what’s best for everyone involved. 💖

About: i’ve been watching and walking dogs for ever, and i wouldn’t love anything more then to be able to watch yours:) dogs are the best things in this world im available anytime during the days, i dont work right now, i have a 3 week old so i am only free during the weekends since my boyfriend works during the week i can’t really have animals in my house since i do have two other dogs who don’t get along with other dogs, but i will love to watch them at your house

About: I have always had a love for animals, but it was not until 18 years ago that I began to understand the difference between simply liking dogs and having a dog become part of your life. Buddy, a lab/husky mix that we adopted when he and our first child were both 10 months old, was a patient teacher for me and a gentle companion for all four of my children. Although we lost Buddy at age eleven to chronic Lyme disease, we have since adopted three other mixed breed dogs. All three of these dogs (Isaac, Pippin and Mowgli) are currently living with us, a family of six with children whose ages range from 11 to 19 and two cats (Ivy and Ginger). With each new dog that comes into our family, we learn more about breeds, behavior, training, and the differences in their personalities. Our dogs live WITH us, sleep in our beds, and even get away with some occasional begging at the table. They are LOVED and cared for by everyone in the house. When the time comes when all of us must be away from home for long periods of time (like vacation) my pet sitter is my best friend. I could not possibly enjoy being away if I had any doubts about them being well cared for. That is the service I would offer to my clients: peace of mind.

About: I have worked in pet care/home care for over a decade! I work as a dog walker for a company in Berryville, and I also work as a groomer for a Newfoundland Breeder with show dogs. I have had experience as a vet technician as well! I am comfortable will all types of dogs and would love to meet yours❤️ I provide daily dog walking services and breaks, in home boarding or house sitting. Dog walking and pet care is more then simply providing the basics, I appreciate the trust that owners give when having someone provide care for there beloved animals. Respect, genuine love, trust and a building relationship goes into each pet a care for. Pet care is full time for me, and I am available weekly and in the weekends. My schedule is generally flexible and I can usually accommodate even last min requests. However I do occasionally have a fully scheduled week and any house sitting or dog sitting requests would be easier to schedule with a couple weeks notice. I do not currently have a fenced in yard, but I provide walks and potty breaks by walking on a leash as needed. I live close to 2 dog park’s and I love to take them there to burn off energy ( as long as dog parks are not an overwhelming experience and the owner agrees it is ok to visit one ), I also enjoy bringing them along as a running and hiking buddy on the several nature trails near me. If I am watching a pet in their own home, I will just keep up with the normal routine as stated by the owner, and of course always check with you to make sure any new activities we try are ok

About: I grew up on a farm in Purcellville and had over 6+ dogs, 4 cats and many farm animals. I love animals and I have a family dog of my own named Ziggy Marley. Pet care is something I feel very passionate about and something I’m fortunate to be able to experience! My schedule is always very flexible because I’m an online student studying Environmental Biology and sustainability! I do not have a fenced in yard but I live next to a large open field! I have a friendly trained animal willing to play with your animals! I also have a crate and many treats! Please let me know if your animal has a special diet or any allergies.

“Dayna is awesome. The boys love her. I will definitely use her again as we need sitters every so often. So happy to have found her!!”

About: *I’m willing to pick up/drop off or meet to assist with getting your pets to my home if it is more convenient for your schedule** I've been taking care of dogs since the age of 12, I'm now 29. It started with local dogs and cats in the neighborhood I grew up in to now doing it as a side gig and it has been the best decision I have ever made. I love the different types of dogs I get and all of the different personalities. I have yet to host a dog that didn't enjoy the walks, playing and cuddling provided at my house. I have experience with bathing, boarding, walking, feeding and shuttling to the vet. I love dogs of all breeds and sizes and can ensure you that they will have so much fun and love provided at my house, that they will never know you were gone :) Currently I have availability to board during the week, Monday through Friday and on the weekend 24/7 - as I am home & can accommodate any potty break schedule. . I accept early morning/late night drop offs and pick ups and am willing to meet you or pick up your pet if it is more convenient for your schedule. I have plenty of room run as well as two very spoiled and friendly dogs of my own. Both of my personal dogs can be crated if needed, as I introduce new animals slowly to mine to ensure they start off on good terms. All animals that come to my home will get plenty of love and making sure they are comfortable is my top priority.

“Margaret arrived on time and gave the dogs a nice long walk. Plus, she re-worked her schedule to be there for me. Will definitely use again.”
