Dog Walkers in Port Republic, VA

“Catherine has been taking our large pup on walks a few days per week and it’s been such tail wagging fun! Thanks for the adventures and care, Catherine!”

“Mairany is such a great dog Walker and sitter. She would go out of her way to make it easier on my family. She would even give her a bath or clip her nails when needed. I was using hand signals and voice commands and she she learned those as well so she could help with training”

“Morgan has been an exceptional caretaker and sitter for my dog ever since I started using her as my sitter 4 years ago. She takes great care to ensure the safety and health of my dog and keeps me updated if there is anything I should know. She's the best sitter I've ever had and I wouldn't trust my dog with anyone else. 5 stars, 10/10, the best!”

“Peyton took care of my yellow lab often, walking Buddy routinely while we were busy. Peyton is a very compassionate and attentive dog lover and would highly recommend her to others in need of dog caring.”

“Lydia did a great job walking Zorro. Zorro came back from his walk feeling happy and tired!”

“I am thrilled to share my heartfelt appreciation for Lourdes Rhodes, my exceptional neighbor and go-to pet sitter. Lourdes has been a lifeline for me and my furry family members on numerous occasions, and I am confident that she would provide safe, loving care and outstanding customer service for anyone seeking a trustworthy pet caregiver. Beyond her role as a pet sitter, Lourdes is simply an awesome human being. Her kindness, warmth, and compassion extend not only to animals but also to the people around her. She's not just a neighbor; she's become a trusted friend, someone I can rely on for support and companionship.”

“Very professional help who’s always available and attentive to blue!”

“Kat is the most caring, loving, and compassionate person I’ve ever seen with pets. I would trust her to take care of mine any day!”

About: I've provided care for cats and dogs ranging from kitten and puppy to senior. I've been walking and doing daily in-home visits for several years, as well as taking care of my own animals. I also have experience with lizards and rabbits. I work part-time, so I'm flexible and have more open availability. I'm usually avaliable on short notice and can make earlier morning or later evening visits or extended visits during vacations. I'm happy to follow any care instructions you may have, including crating or other special considerations. I'm fine administering meds and also have some experience with wound care.

“Anna would be a wonderful addition to your staff of pet sitters and dog walkers. She not only loves our four legged friends and spending time with them but she is reliable and can be trusted with a family's pet. She pays attention to detail and will be in tune with the individual needs of each pet. She will be attentive to each animal in her care and will be a reliable employee for your service. I highly recommend Anna Plessing to you.”

About: I have tons of personal experience coming from a dog loving family, and I have also spent time volunteering at local shelters! I will adjust myself to fit your dog’s temperament and personality to ensure the best possible experience for them. I love hiking, walking, playing all types of sports, and I will gladly give your fur babies all of the exercise and cuddles they want. I have 2 dogs of my own, a senior dachshund mix and a Great Dane with anxiety. You can be guaranteed I will love any animal as it’s my own <3 I work 7pm-3am on Saturday, and 6pm-1am Sunday through Tuesday. I have class 9:30am-12:30pm on Tuesday and Thursday. Aside from that, I am pretty open and I will do my best to fit in walks when needed! I am really comfortable with all dogs and cats, so I have no problem tending to any special needs or those that may just need extra time. My own dog has anxiety and I understand the need for patience, comfort, and love around new people or environments. I’ll be happy to follow any special instructions and/or training habits that you would like for your pets. I tend to carry a treat pouch for the sake of training, distractions, and trust building if that’s something you would be okay with, I of course would not give anything unwanted. I am open to any questions you may have to see if I’m a good fit!

“Megan is one of the most caring animal-lovers I know! She is always so sweet and gentle with my reactive dog which goes such a long way, especially because he is so high-need! I truly wouldn’t trust anybody else to care/watch him when I’m out of town. She’s very knowledgeable and her experience with animals shows!! She’s the absolute best and I couldn’t recommend her enough - your fur baby would be in MORE than capable hands :)”

About: I have decades of animal care experience, working with cats, dogs, and multiple other species. I currently own and operate a rabbitry. I have worked at multiple dog kennels, including free run facilities, and have worked at the SPCA and the Virginia zoo in Norfolk, Virginia. Let me know what your needs are, and we will see if I can accommodate your needs, as my schedule is very open and flexible. My pet care is very custom tailored to your needs and your pet’s needs, let me know what you need and what your pet prefers. I have 4 dogs that stay exclusively in the back part of the home and have access to the backyard. Doggies I am sitting stay exclusively in the front part of the home and have access to the front yard, so there is non interaction between my dogs. My dogs are friendly with other dogs but this arrangement just makes it easier and more comfortable for yours = )

“Julia is a responsible, dependable and compassionate young woman with a natural connection to animals. You're pets are in safe hands with her! Julia has always been a very attentive and communicative caretaker for our pets, and I highly recommend her!”

“Jason loves all animals and they all love him! He has been responsible for staying with our pups when we would be away for an extended time. Every dog in the neighborhood love Jason, he has a very calm and soft spoken way with them. You will be able to rest assured your pet will get great and loving care by him.”

“Rachael took great care of my dog and was very responsive to messages”

“Kristal is amazing!!! She took the best care of my dog Tilly last week and I am so grateful. She had great communication and was very responsive. Not only did she provide great care and walks, she took some of the BEST pictures! I would highly recommend her for any of your pet needs!”

“Colin is an amazing pet and house sitter. He has provided house sitting and pet care (1 dog and 3 cats) on several occasions for us. We have known him for years and he is responsible, reliable and honest! We do not have to worry at at while we are away. Recently, he stayed at our home while we were away for over a week. He left the house nicer than when we left and the animals were loved and so happy when we arrived home. It was nice not to have to use a kennel! I left 4 pages of instructions and he did an amazing job. I highly recommend him!”

About: I have experience doing daytime dog sitting, drop-ins for dogs/cats, and dog walking. I have worked on farms before! I have over 14 years of experience with my family's large-breed dog, and went on to rescue a 4 year old large-breed mix on my own who is a project with training! Availability most days is 8 am - 6 pm. Please message if your needs are different! I do not walk dogs after dark, but can do early morning work! I do not provide services at my own home, as we have a dog ourselves. I am open to local work for dog walking or drop-ins for your pet!

“On time and very polite!”
