Dog Walkers in Poquoson, VA

“Miesha has been walking my yorkie, Penny for almost a year now. She has done a wonderful job and is so kind with her. Even on days when she doesn’t want to walk she plays with her. Miesha is always flexible and makes sure Penny gets the exercise, love, and attention she needs. Would highly recommend her to take care of your pup!”

“We are so thankful we found Marisol! She was able to help us immensely with our hound who is high energy and can be a bit of a handful on the leash. She expertly handles him and ensures they have an enjoyable, safe, and energy burning walk! She is kind, communicative, and was able to work with our schedule. Highly recommend! Thank you Marisol!”

“Thank you for taking the time to take him on his walk. He seems to love you a lot. He gets attached very easily to people. I saw the way he ran to the door when you came Tuesday. I will be utilizing your services once winter break is over. Thank you for taking care of him.”

“Bethany was truly a God send when I needed help with daily pup walks for my two large fur babies. I have a mal mix and a GSD and she was always able to work around my crazy on-call work schedule. I don’t have enough good things to say about her! If you want the best care for your pup, you have to call her!”

About: Hi, I'm Kim and I worked as a Vet Assistant through college and then joined the Marine Corps, after spending time raising babies, I returned to work in the vet field, as a Vet Assistant at a local vet hospital. I have since left the vet field, but do work from home full time. We have been a foster home for a local Giant Breed Rescue, we are comfortable with all sizes and ages of dogs. All of our pets are part of our family and they are treated as such. We have a 9 year old Mini Schnauzer, a 8 year old French Mastiff, a 5 year old Great Dane, 2 cats and some backyard chickens. We take lots of potty breaks and play time throughout the day. We are comfortable working with dogs with special needs and have no trouble giving daily medications. I have references available, and would love the opportunity to be your pet's home away from home! I work full time remote, 6-2:30, so we have a pretty set routine. Dogs potty and eat first thing in the morning and again around 5:30-6pm. Potty breaks are roughly 2 hours, or as needed. I have a fenced in back yard, and the dogs are in and out throughout the day (never left alone outdoors). Pets in my home are cared for as a member of the family. We have plenty of space for a crate (if needed/most comfortable there), dogs have a twin mattress on my bedroom floor and sleep in the room with me. We have tons of toys and a dog (baby) pool out back for them.

“Rodney is great! My dog loves him!”

Whether it’s a peaceful walk, some playtime under the sun, or just being there to comfort them, I’m available day and night to offer all the love and attention they deserve. I’ve created a warm, welcoming space with hardwood floors for any pets still learning, a play area by the playground, and plenty of toys to keep them happy. I’m here to give your pets a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. With me, they’ll feel loved, cared for, and right at home. Peace, love, and pets—always.

About: When you book with me, your pet gets the best care possible! Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I tailor every experience to meet your pet’s unique needs. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic puppies who need long walks and playtime to senior dogs who just want a gentle stroll and lots of love. My most knowledgeable experience was caring for my senior golden retriever named Doc, who needed medication twice a day and extra patience on his walks. I made sure he got his medicine on time and took slow, comfortable walks at his own pace. For dog walks, I provide engaging walks with plenty of exercise, potty breaks, and personalized attention. I’ve walked everything from high-energy huskies who love to run to shy rescue dogs who need extra reassurance and gentle care. For drop-in visits, I check in on your pet, refresh food and water, provide potty breaks, clean up as needed, and, of course, give plenty of belly rubs and playtime. I once cared for a nervous rescue pup named Baxter, who was slow to trust new people. With patience and treats, he warmed up to me, and by the end of our visits, he was happily greeting me at the door with a wagging tail! For overnight sitting, your pet gets loving care in a stress-free environment. I stick to their routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and snuggles. I’ve stayed with multiple pets at a time. Throughout every visit, I send regular updates, photos, and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands. Book with me today for dependable, loving pet care! My only current responsibilities are raising my 4 year old daughter who loves all animals, caring for my 7 year old low-maintenance cat named Sparkle, and keeping up with my online classes for my Medical Coding Certificate. The classes are online and allow me to login on at any point in the day to get work done! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a calm and secure environment with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. I do have a 5 year old cat named Sparkle who keeps to herself in a separate room and a 3 year old child who loves animals but is always supervised around them to ensure a positive and respectful interaction. For in-home care, I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. Whether they need structured playtime, a quiet space to relax, or extra attention, I tailor my care to their needs.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs indoors and outdoors for my entire childhood. I am a full time public music teacher and part time church music director looking to spend some time with sweet pups! I am open for house sitting, dog drop in visits and walks within 10 miles of Chapin, SC! I have my own dog, Allie, who we feed morning and night. We also walk her daily. Allie loved to get her zoomies out in the backyard. She also gets lots of pets and a peanut butter cone after doing some tricks. June and July, I am open to scheduling during the day (8:00 am-5:00 pm) on weekdays and weekends dependent upon scheduling. Additional hours after 5:00pm available upon request. August-May: I am available for walks from 4:30pm-7:00pm, dependent upon scheduling. Allie goes on regular walks for 30 minutes (longer or shorter). We feed her morning and night and she loves to get out zoomies in our backyard. Allie sits and waits before each feeding and she does shake, lay down and stay before her treat. I am also attaching a written reference below: To fur baby owners: Caroline Miller is one of the best dog/house sitters I’ve ever had. She is very responsible and dependable. Most important though is how she loves on my dogs while I’m away and spends time with them. I also loved the condition of how my house looked when I came home, just as clean as it was when I left! It saddened me when Caroline moved away from home because I haven’t had a dog sitter as good as her in years. She will not disappoint! -Melissa F
