Dog Walking in Pocoshock, Richmond, VA

“Max is amazing! He's professional, punctual, and very polite. He communicates well when scheduling his walks. And my dog can't wait to see him everyday! He has done a great job redirecting my reactive dog when encountering other dogs during walks as well. I highly recommend him if your dog needs some walks!”

“Arianna took great care of my girl Luna, I loved the pictures and updates and it's clear they both really enjoyed each other's company. She was also very prompt and right on time with walks, and super nice to deal with. I would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again.”

“First time ever using the app so I was really nervous about it, but DAMACIA made me feel completely at ease. She listened to all my concerns and how to take care of my sweet boy because he is hard of hearing. She took him on a walk around the neighborhood and Maximus seemed to enjoy it. Now that the walk is over my sweet boy is passed out on the couch probably for the rest of the day. Will definitely be using her services in the near future.”

“Julia really helped me out in a pinch when I needed a last minute sitter for my pups. She was able to fit in a quick meet & greet in her schedule and followed all of our instructions for when we were away. The pups can be a handful on walks but because of her experience she was able to handful them gracefully. She sent plenty of pictures of our pups and we felt completely safe with them in her hands. We highly recommend Julia to anyone in need of a sitter!”

“Sydney was amazing with my sweet dog PJ. I came to Richmond from out of town for a few days and was grateful to coordinate several dog walks with Sydney. PJ is not a city dog, so I was a little hesitant on how best to handle downtown Richmond. Sydney knows the area well as a VCU student, and she was able to find green space and waterfront walks for PJ. She also did well to secure arrangements with me on short notice. I will certainly reach out to her again on my next visit to Richmond. Thanks Sydney!”

“Excellent dog walker! Timely and with great communication skills. Very easy to work with and accommodating with any quirks or issues your pets may have.”

About: I am certain your pup will get the love and attention they need while they come stay with me! I have been dog sitting for about 7 years now. PLEASE READ Due to unexpected situations I have been put thru I am un able to watch dogs that have not been fixed. 8/10 times they have been too dominant and acted strange towards my dog who is fixed. I apologize in advance. I also would grateful appreciate if you have to cancel I know 1 week in advance so I can make other arrangements. I typically watch one dog at a time to ensure your pet is getting the love and attention they need. I understand things happen and plans get canceled but just letting me know as soon as possible will help allow me to make room on my calendar for another dog. I work from home so I will be around to keep an eye out and play with your dog(s). I have a fenced in yard as well with a big back yard for them to run around. I am also off 3 times a week so I can take your dog out for more adventures activities on those days. I have multiple rooms in the house to close off. We also have a medium sized crate if we must separate animals apart if need be. I will also be sure to send photos of your sweet fur baby

“Kassie put in the extra effort to make my grumpy little old man of a dog happy! She consistently put in extra time to ensure his comfort and to keep me posted while I was away. Very appreciative of her!”

“Julia is on time for the walks, my 2 golden retrievers love her and she's very nice! With that being said, I would highly recommend her to others looking for a dog walker.”

“Speaking as Caitlin's parent, I describe Caitlin as a pet whisperer. She has lived with pets since the day she was born and has had personal responsibility for her own pets since she received her first kitten at age 4. Since then goldfish, dwarf hamsters, a ferret, a number of cats, and three family dogs have thrived under her care. Recently, three of our aging pets (two cats and a dog) have had serious illnesses. Because of Caitlin's knowledge as a vet tech and her dedicated care, they have lived longer than if they had not been under her watchful eyes. We are very fortunate to have our own personal pet caregiver in our family when needed. I believe that any family pet that is under Caitlin's care will feel loved and that your family will feel equally fortunate to have Caitlin as the one caring for your pets.”

“I owe Darnell x100000. Everything I could ask for in a walker. I was nervous because my dog can be a puller and especially crazy with new people . Darnell took great care and things went better than I could imagine. Will definitely hope that he’ll be available in the future . Ice loved him! Thanks again bro !”

About: My family always had dogs and cats from the time I was born, and my love for them has grown across the years now as a young adult. My experience in pet care comes from having my own pets and caring for their needs throughout the years. My family and I have owned long haired cats adopted as kittens and different mixed breeds of dogs ranging from small to medium/large-sized, the first adopted as a puppy and the past 3 adopted a year or a few years old. For the past 5 years I have been sharing the responsibility of caring for my sister's dog, Gadget, while she is at work. I walk him, give him food/water/treats, play with his toys with him, help wash or trim his hair on his bottom in between taking him to be groomed as he is a Pekinese mix and his fur can occasionally get messy when going on potty breaks. I am looking forward to meeting new furry friends, getting to know their needs and how they like to be loved and cared for just as I would with my own pet. For the past year's schedule, my sister takes her dog, Gadget, out in the mornings before work and I am in charge of him after she leaves (usually around 10am-11am, it varies because she does client-based work) and am on dog duty through-out the afternoon through the evening. In the mornings I exercise and currently am invested in taking online classes with the intention of selling my own artwork in the near future on different platforms like Etsy. I have also recently decided to start learning music production as I listen to a lot of music especially when I exercise and take my dog on walks. I take Gadget out in the early afternoon and walk him around my neighborhood and after dinner I take him out once more and then my sister lets him out for one last pee break before bed. I keep Gadget on a schedule and I plan to keep all prospective client's pets on their usual schedule and give them the love and care they deserve. As my sister has now been renting her workspace and she has the option to take her dog to with her, I have ample time availability all through the day and evening to take care of other dogs for drop-ins and walking needs. My sister's dog is a sweet and friendly dog, however he does get excited around strangers and other animals. When inside my home, I try to distract him from barking at people walking by as he does like to bark. When on walks, I always make sure to have a good grip on his leash and if another dog is excited because of him or vice versa I pull back slightly and shush him or if that is not enough I might physically crouch down to be level with him and calm him down and that tends to be what does the trick. However, as every dog is different I will listen and try out any suggestions that work with prospective client's pets. My particular dog can have a sensitive digestive system and sometimes some dog food doesn't sit right with him so we tend to avoid feeding him food scraps for that reason unless it's only simple ingredients that won't upset his stomach. I will listen and adhere to any dietary or medicine instructions that any pet might need.

“Levi has cared for my 4 cats and my bird. 2 of my cats are special needs, and Levi has been able to give medication to my cat, and care for my blind cat. He does a great job!! He is loving and caring with my pets, and I feel comfortable that they are being well-cared-for. I can’t recommend Levi enough!”

“When I think of someone who loves animals more than humans, Libby is at the top of that list. She has a selfless heart of gold and loves all dogs - unconditionally. I've known Libby for 20 years and over that period of time, she's been the mother of multiple animals who have received kind and loving care. If you're looking for someone to spend some one-on-one time with your pup, Libby is your gal. She is responsible and will give your beloved pup the TLC they deserve! ”

“Juliana was great! She was super friendly and my dogs loved her. I definitely recommend! Thank you for helping us Juliana!”
