Dog Walking Piney Knolls

“Jynette provides a great service and she is quick to respond any requests or messages, as well as prompt to any events (meetups, dog walking). She brought her own dog to accompany mine on his walk, which thrilled Tut as he loves to walk with new friends and show them the way around his neighborhood. Will definitely work with Jynette again!”

“Destiny is a great communicator, lets me know if anything is off on Teddys walks, and was able to improvise and find Teddy’s food when I forgot to do his meal prep this week! Teddy is loving his weekly walks, thank you Destiny!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, including my own pets and my professional experience as a kennel attendant at a pet daycare. I’m experienced with walks, feeding routines, baths, medication, and providing care for pets with different needs and temperaments. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to give your pet the same attention, patience, and love I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I plan my days around making sure each pet gets proper care, playtime, walks, and check-ins without feeling rushed. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. I pay attention to their behavior, needs, and any instructions provided to make sure they receive the best care possible.

“Devinder has helped us a couple of times while we were on vacation. He is reliable and I feel that my doggies are well care for while I am away.”

About: I’ve been dog-sitting for about 5 years now. I’ve mainly taken care of small to medium sized dogs but I’m open to looking after larger dogs as well. I am very reliable and have a lot of energy to keep your dog entertained throughout the day. I love going for walks and and going to dog parks if allowed by the owner. I live in an apartment and it’s dog-friend and the apartment has a dog area where they can relieve themselves. I live in a studio apartment but there’s plenty of open space where your pup can lounge around. I’m very attentive of your dogs needs, so I stay on top of taking them out for walks and making sure their water bowl is kept full and following their feeding schedule. Also open to grooming and showering your dog, especially if they are staying overnight with me. If your pup is energetic and loves to play we will be a great match!!

About: I have had many years of experience at shelters. I have had many animals of my own and have pet sit for many years. I am happy to do anything I can to make sure your pet is happy healthy and well taken care of. I work part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet! I am in college online so I can take my school with me anywhere. I respect clients homes as though they were my grandmas. I will take care of your pet as though they are my own and give them endless love. Your pets safety is my top priority.

“Thank you for working with my anxious baby!”

“Nora is fantastic! She’s friendly, loved my energetic pup, and was easy to communicate with. I’ll definitely be using her again in the future!”

About: From wolfhounds to chihuahuas, I have petsat them all! I have experience with giving medicine, assisting senior dogs with mobility, exercising, playing, feeding, and giving all the affection needed. Petsitting would be split with my workday on Monday -Wednesday. I can come in the morning, during my lunch break, and spend as much time as needed after work with your pet. Friday through Sunday I can do as many visits and walks as necessary. It is safer and better to build trust with any animal if there is a meet & greet before petsitting. This helps me know the routines of your household and shows the pets that I'm not a stranger when I come to care for them. Sticking to the routines/key words they know, engaging them with praise, play, or treats, and letting the dog/cat have space when needed - are all ways to help your pet be at ease.

About: Hello there! I absolutely adore animals. I spent 3 years at the SPCA, working directly with the animals and fostering. My friends and I started our own rescue, SFC Virginia Animal Rescue. I know how hard it is to trust your dog is in good hands, and to feel happy, and safe. I love snapping photos and sharing with you all that me and your fur baby do during our visit, (and not afraid to inspect poop to ensure your pet is healthy and report when a concern.) My dogs have been through various trainings and would be happy to share my knowledge while I spend time with your pet. I have over 5 years experience with pets with medical needs varying from administering sub-q fluids to medications to inhalers for the cat-kiddos. My girl has hypo-thyroid and has to take a pill twice a day. With my experience with medically-needy animals I am hyper aware of the smallest changes in behaviors in a short period of time and can offer varying tricks with administering for the ones who aren’t big fans. Side note: I do have travel minute limit, for those east of 95, that is within the time limit if the $5ish toll is taken, otherwise it would take over 30 mins. If you are okay with an additional charge of $6 to cover toll, I will be more than happy to assist! I work from home so I get a lot of quality time with my babies. Where I see opportunities to train, I take advantage. Training is a daily on going activity. My animals eat twice a day on snuffle mats with a kibble and veggie/fruit medley. In short, pet care is part of my routine. When hired to do check-ins I like to spend my first time with the pet observing knowing I’m a stranger and I want to not overwhelm. I will read the vibes and either interact more or keep a distance depending on their body language and how they are reacting to me. I know pets sometimes have a tendency to be more reserved or hesitant to do their normal activities. I try to connect and bond during this time as well with treats (if provided) and positive quiet communication.

About: I own 2 dogs and 2 cats myself, and have taken care of pets for family since I was young. I enjoy being around animals, and promise to take care of your pets as if they were my own. I have 13+ years of experience with dogs, including senior dogs and 5+ years of experience with cats of all personalities. I am currently working freelance, so I have lots of flexibility to take care of your pets. If you have a pet that requires extra attention, I can complete my work in your space, providing any amount of care needed such as timely medication or frequent potty breaks. I have cared for pets in other people homes multiple times and I will ensure your space stays neat and tidy, and will ensure your pet gets the best care in the safety of their own home.

“Divine takes such good care of our Winnie! She’s the first dog walker we’ve hired and she has been flexible with our schedule changes week to week, sends the sweetest pictures, and is always on time.”

About: I have a deep love for all animals! As a pet foster mom, and a mom of 2 cats and high medical needs dog, I feel confident that I can give your fur baby the best care! I am comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, dogs with special needs, cats and larger breed animals. I will treat your baby like my own❤️ As a summer school teacher, I am available for early morning visits, and visits starting at 3 PM! Friday through Sunday I am available at any time. Feel free to message me to confirm times and dates for your furry friends :) I am experienced with handling all temperaments of dogs and cats, and will make sure to follow your directions exactly! Safety and love is my top priority for all animals.

“Exceptional care!”

“Great to work with Rebecca! Excellent communication and arrived in the agreed time frame with no issue. She took my pup with hers for a walk to the nearby dog park. Pics showed how delighted he was with the walk and the company! Definitely plan to work with her again”

About: I grew up with pets and now have my own black Lab, Hank, who’s just over two years old! I’ve been pet sitting for 15+ years for family, friends, and Rover dogs (and cats)! I’d love to give your fur babies some extra love and attention while you’re away! 🐾 My main availability are weekends. I am also available (some) week day's, but mostly later in the day after 5pm during the week if needed. I typically ask the owner before the first visit how they go about doing things/their routine with their animals. That way we're sticking to what the dogs/cats are comfortable with and what they know best!
