Dog Walkers in Paytes, VA

“After we had an awful first experience with rover with another Dog Walker, Deborah restored our faith in this service. What an incredible human, let alone dog walker. Consistent, great communication, and our dog adores her. I would go back to her 10 times out of 10!”

About: I have been looking after all kinds of dogs for 8 years, my dogs, my friends dogs, and neighbors dogs. It has been good experience with all the different dogs i have watched. Im working part time at the moment, so I will have plenty of free time to spend with your fur babies and make sure they arnt sad when your gone. I have an open yard and walk my dogs making sure they get plenty outside time, and will do the same with your dogs just like I would mine.

“Cooper loved his walk time with Lindsay. He was so excited to meet her, and will continue to love his walks with her. Highly recommend!”

About: My life is filled with fantastic pet stories, and I’ve had and cared for pets my entire life. I had my amazing Maine Coon Simba who I cared for throughout his life. He was smaller than the average Maine Coon, but had all the confidence of the largest one. Now, my mini poodle Camo is always ready to cheer me up. He is very energetic, loving, and protective. I am no stranger to caring for high-energy pets! I also have experience with larger dogs such as White Shepards and Dobermans. As well as less common pets like hamsters, bearded dragons, and snakes. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet! Apart from a few weeks out of July where I will be working all day, I will be available to sit morning through evening Monday through Saturday depending on distance. I am flexible to care for your pet in a way they are used to, as I know everyone has a different routine and I don’t want your pet to become overwhelmed by changes. I love to walk dogs on their own or in groups (depending on size and temperament). I am great with entertaining and playing with dogs to give them their fill of exercise and interaction.

“Michelle was very friendly and Coco seems to like her”

About: I began caring for dogs in their homes since I graduated high school at 16. I have owned my own business since then, providing in-home visits, dog walking, boarding, and also worked as a professional dog trainer with Ridgeside K9. I enjoy dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds and temperaments. I currently work a full time job, but I have a rotating schedule and only work 14 days/month. Send me a booking request and I will respond quickly with availability to care for your pet! I have a fenced in yard, and live in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of safe walking options. Dogs that board in my home must be crate trained.

About: I have had pets all of my life. I currently have 3 dogs, a Pomeranian/Westie mix, a Husky/Pitbull mix, and a Staffordshire terrier. As well as fish. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds. Cats, fish, and most reptiles. I have owned cats in the past and I have family who have cats. I have cared for lizards and bearded dragons. I always follow the owners instructions on care. I have experience walking, playing with, and caring for animals. Administering medication, and basic first aid. I am patient when meeting a new animal. I allow them to take their time to warm up to me, I let them come to me vs me approaching them. Please let me know if any allergies, current injuries, medications, ect that I may need to be aware of. As well as any certain quirks they may have, for example some cats like to try and escape , dog can jump over the fence, they hate their neck touched, and so on. This is all so I can make sure your pet is comfortable and receives the best care! I always treat pets like they are my own, with love and kindness. I love getting to know each one’s personality! It truly is a joy to have an animal warm up to you and open up. I am a stay at home mom, so my schedule is usually pretty flexible. I do like to keep my pet care within a certain distance radius of my home. I have a fenced in dog run attached to my house where the dogs can go outside to play and go potty. I always make sure my dogs as well as others are harnessed and leashed prior to going outside. I make sure there are no hazards in the home that could hurt the animal in any way.

“Highly recommend Nichole. Her communication is top tier, she is incredibly kind and I can tell she treats my dog as her own. She has been very flexible with my recent move and has made me feel comfortable knowing Winston is well cared for. Cannot thank her enough!”

“We feel very fortunate to have met Shannon, she's wonderful! Reliable, trust worthy, and full of great energy. She always takes her time with our doggo and makes each visit special. Also, we very much appreciate her professional background in both firefighting and emergency medical services as it speaks to her general character and mindset, and provides us peace-of-mind that if an emergency situation were to occur, our boy is in the best hands possible.”

About: I was raised with dogs (shelties, primarily) and now have a hobby farm with goats, dogs (german shepherds, a lab and a sheltie), ducks and a cat. I'm reliable and friendly and happy to follow whatever instruction and routine you need. Your pets will be well cared for and you'll receive plenty of photo updates while you're gone! I have a very flexible schedule, so I am able to accommodate nearly any routine your pet is used to, including frequent walks and potty breaks. I will work with you to keep your pet's schedule as close to what they are used to as possible. If boarding in my home, we have a fenced yard, plenty of area to go on leashed walks, and they will get plenty of one on one attention and care. I'm happy to do transport or add in a bath during your pet's stay so your life can be as simple as possible while you're trying to get out the door for your trip. Pet care is my full time job and priority. I can adapt as needed to make sure your pet keeps the routine they are comfortable with, even when you aren’t home. I will ask questions and take notes on your pets’ routine and then do my best to ensure that those habits are in place with me.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a child. I have taken care of dogs, pigs, chickens and a cat. I can train puppies and I have taken care of special need puppies as well. I can do any day of the week, up until 5pm and no later than 6:30am. I prefer to have my weekends free but if I need to I can watch your dogs. I don't have a fenced in area but I have plenty of space around to walk the dogs and typically with my dogs I can let my dogs out without a leash and they stay on the property. I don't mind fenced in areas I always clean up after the dogs I watch.

“Great as always with the girls!”

About: I have always had cats and dogs since I was a child, I currently own two cats with my boyfriend. I have a wide array of experience with animals including nine years of horseback riding, raising three litters of bottle baby kittens successfully, caring for my own special needs senior cat with advanced heart disease and stomatitis, as well as dog sitting regularly for four years! I have worked with bloodhounds, poodle mixes, boxers, as well as yorkie mixes. I fostered animals for SPCA for a year in 2019 before the pandemic, through them I worked with a multitude of cats in my home and enjoyed the process of advocating for, as well as finding forever homes for all of my foster babies. Additionally, I volunteered at a veterinary clinic for about a year in high school through a work program that my school offered, through this experience as well as my personal experience with my special needs baby I feel extremely comfortable with animals with medical needs. I am currently a full time student, and my schedule changes every semester. As of today, (07/15/2025) I am on summer break and am available every weekday. During a drop in visit, I will spend a few minutes tending to your animals. If there are toys available, I am happy to spend this time playing, or just chilling giving some good snuggles until it’s time to go. As an owner of a runner myself, I am fairly confident in my abilities to keep your escape artists indoors!

About: Each pet has their own personality and style and I adapt to exactly what your pets needs and wants. If they want cuddles, they get cuddles. If they want space they get space. It’s all about precious pets needs for me. I provided a 5 star service. My aim is to please and keep them happy. I currently have two dogs of my own and a cat. You can rest assured that if your pets are in my care they will be well-loved and taken care of! I will treat your “babies” like they were my own, not only because I’m an animal lover, but because it’s how I want my “baby” treated while I’m away!! That is my promise to you and your fur babies❤️

“Thank you, Ashley!”
