About: Hello there! My name is Sammy and I have been around animals all of my life and they have inspired me in so many different ways. I have been managing doggy daycare/boarding facilities for a little over 3 years now so I guess you can say pet care is my specialty! I am dog and cat CPR certified, certified through the DHA (dog handler academy),I know how to give injections, and my knowledge on dog behavior is quite extensive. I have decided to go back to school as well which is why my schedule is so open. Currently I own a 2 year old Golden Retriever as well as the cutest cat ever that are both my world. I hope you decide to let me into your pets heart as I treat every pet like my own. ~Wags & Wiggles, Sammy🐾 I am going back to school which means I have a very open schedule. I am also pretty flexible with times and last minute bookings. When it comes to a clients home,I always like for us to meet before I start my services so everyone feels more comfortable. I will also provide pictures for my clients of your fur baby & I having a good time!
“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.”
“Katherine has been walking my dog almost every day for the past 2 months now, and I must say she is very professional, reliable, and consistent. She takes great care of my pups and always gives me updates on how he’s doing. 10/10 recommend!”
“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 😃”
“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.”
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.
“Andrew is great! He had great communication and covered everything for his walk and visit with my dog that we had agreed on. I highly recommend him to others and will definitely use him again!”

Currently I have open availability, so i can work around your schedule! I have a car so i can travel to you no problem (: I am able to walk or run with your pet based off needs. I can feed them wet or dry food. Have playtime or change their litter/ take them to use the bathroom.
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was 8. I love caring for them. Always have my eye on them as I love making them feel at home and safe. It fits into my weekly routine as I’m always sitting at home. Having a lot of free time, I chose to take care of dogs as that is something I love. I have a fenced back yard with lots of space to run and go potty. My house is pet friendly meaning they can climb on anything or lay on anything.
About: I have always loved animals and never come across a dog or animal I didn't like. I have two dogs that are truly my babies, and I treat any dog I come across as I would my own. I take my boys walking every day, sometimes hiking and other fun stuff like that. I am in college for nursing and would like an additional income and felt this is a good way to make some extra cash. I have experience with all types of animals being that I used to work at a Vet's office and I am dependable and trustworthy. I guarantee you will be more than satisfied with my services and i am very flexible and able to deal with older, or needier animals. Thanks for looking!
About: Hi! I have taken care of pets from different backgrounds and families and am willing to adjust and accommodate to any environment that is needed for the pet I currently work a full time job in Short Pump and commute home to the city. I am able to work around pet parents schedules if given enough notice in advance, and I appreciate those willing to work with my own schedule as well. No access to a yard for pups, and I do not have the space to accommodate for pups, therefore for boarding purposes I can only care for cats. I have an extra litter box, toys, and treats for your pet. Please feel free to bring your pets own food and their personal toys if necessary.
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.
“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 :)”
