Dog Walking Pine Camp

About: I’ve personally have two dogs and one cat, but taken care of many more. Puppies, potty accidents, senior dogs, grouchy cats. I love them all! Looking to gain more professional experience with different animal personalities. I am a former dog foster for the Richmond SPCA and Beagles & Bentleys. My availability is mostly open during the week, and fully open on the weekends. I will work any day of the week but would prefer advance request for weekend. My home has already been made pet friendly and has the space to accommodate 1-2 more pets (depending on size) as I do have two of my own. I like to get a sense of how the pet feels about his / my home to establish their level of comfortability and trust.

About: I am a grad student with a very flexible schedule! I have owned and cared for a range of dog breeds, from cocker spaniels to German shepherds. I even had a Great Dane for several years! No mess is too big! I’ve administered medications and love getting outdoors and would love to walk or drop into your pet! I adore cats and I have an American bobtail cat called Atlas 🐈‍⬛ Don’t have a dog or cat? ! I’ve cared for fish, ducks, pigeons, degus, a parrot and a flying squirrel! My daily routine is incredibly flexible as I am currently working on my PhD! I pick my hours and I can work around any pet sitting/walking needs! I am a gentle person who loves to give pets and go for walks and (if willing) give belly rubs! I look after a very content male cat daily (who follows me around the house).

“Absolutely amazing! Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and she kept me updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which I really appreciated. She truly went above and beyond by making an extra trip to ensure my dog was well taken care of, and that meant so much to me. During the heat wave, she was also very mindful of protecting his paws and making sure he stayed safe and comfortable. It was clear she cared for him like he was her own, and my dog absolutely loved her. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands, and I would trust her with him again without hesitation. I highly recommend her!”

“Krista is incredibly reliable and considerate. She has been walking our pups 1-2 times weekly for 8 months now! Our whole zoo (2 dogs and 2 cats) feel safe with her, and look forward to their weekly head scratches, playtime, and treats with her. I appreciate that she pays special attention to each animal’s different personality and needs. Krista sends us updates on how the animals are acting and if she notices anything unusual. It’s especially reassuring since one of our dogs has high anxiety. I feel very comfortable knowing my animals are in great hands when I’m at work or out of town. 11/10 would recommend!!”

“Shelby walked my dog daily for over a week while I was unable. She was always on time, responsible, friendly to my dog, and communicative. I recommend her as a dog walker.”

Dawn T.

“Chynna took great care of my Junie while I was away. She followed all instructions, sent me lots of photos, and kept me informed on how Junie was doing on their walks. I will definitely be using Chynna again for any dog sitting needs!”

About: I’m attentive, dependable, and genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and routine. I grew up around dogs (my mom fostered Bostons) so I’m comfortable with dogs who have different temperaments, energy levels, and needs. I’m also happy to update you with photos and messages if that makes you more comfortable, so you can feel confident your dog is happy and well cared for while you’re away. I follow instructions closely, whether that means sticking to a specific feeding or walking schedule, giving extra attention to a senior dog, or making sure a high-energy pup gets plenty of exercise and playtime. I'll be the next-best thing for your furry loved one to having you there. I work online and have a flexible schedule. I like to get outside as often as possible and am athletic, so will take any chance I can get to walk (or run) around. Also happy to just sit around for pets and snuggles. I care for pets by keeping their normal routines as consistent as possible. I follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and bedtime, and I make sure pets get plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Again, I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and keep things clean and secure. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away.

“Rachel was great! She was very communicative, followed our requested directions completely and Chase loved his sniffaris! We highly recommend Jessica when you're in need of someone to look after your furry kids.”

“Laura helped me out when I was injured and couldn't take my dog for long walks. She was very quick to respond and took great photos of my pup when they were together. They seemed to have fun together, and I am so grateful she could help me and my dog!”

Erin W.

“Deiandre was great. He was very communicative and gave detailed reports after every walk. It was such a relief knowing my sweet girl was in good hands while I was on a work trip.”

“I have an anxious rescue (Sir Kitt) and Kirby has been absolutely wonderful with her! When we started, Kitt had to be coaxed to walk. She was so scared of everyone. Recently, Kitt has come out of her chill spot when she hears Kirby come in! Kirby is wonderful with her and we will be booking again.”

“Emma gives out pup the one-on-one attention he craves. She takes care of him the way we would. If you want a personal touch with your fur baby, go with Emma. She is the best!”

Dominque W.

“Nevaeh walks my dogs once a day and it is such a retro know that she is there for them while I am at work. She is an absolute sweetheart and even my more stand offish dogs loves her. Could not recommend met more!”

Samantha W.

“Madeline is very kind. My beagle took to her right away. She texts you any updates in advance and asks questions. We look forward to her assistance!”

“Amanda has been a lifesaver walking my fur baby 1-2 walks/day for 2 weeks now. She goes above and beyond to give my anxious-when-alone-pup so much love and attention while I am working long shifts. She gives great updates on how he is doing, and is so thoughtful and attuned to what he needs. Every night I come home to a happy and not anxious pup, which is such a comfort! So thankful my furbabe and I found her when we are new in town!”
