Dog Walking Powhatan

About: I am a dedicated momma to 2 human teenager and 1 fur baby, Oliver. I've cared for multiple pets in our home, checked on neighbor's dogs when they're out of town, and also fostered dogs in need of a safe place to stay. We're a dog family through and through. I'm in between jobs right now so I'm available for walking, drop-ins, boarding, and day care and can take on short notice gigs. I can't wait to love on your fur baby! I have a very open and flexible schedule. I prefer to offer care M-F during the hours of 9:00 am and 9:00 pm, but I'm also flexible if the need arises! I always meet a new dog with gentleness and let them feel me out - smell my hand, don't approach them, give a treat, etc. I always stick to the instructions and routine provided by their family to keep the care as stress-free as possible for the pup. My goal in pet care is to make sure the dogs feel loved and cared for while their owners are away!

About: I have taken care of many types of dogs, doing everything from feeding to walking to giving medicine to my aunt’s senior dog. I have even worked with a sweet blind pupper too! I have an open schedule to care for your doggos during weekdays. I am also available weekend days too, if needed. Last minute needs I can accommodate too. I have 3 dogs of my own, a black lab, and two pittie mix babes. My husband’s cousin has entrusted us with the care of her pittie doggo while dealing with health issues. My aunt who lives across the street from me has me look after her two dogs when she travels out of town.

“My dogs love Larry. No, they LOVE Uncle Larry! They start staring out the window an hour in advance. Any/ every car door gets them so excited!!”

“Jen was excellent! She sent me pictures from the walk and was very communicative throughout the process. She’s very kind and I could tell my puppy loved her. I will be using her services again.”

About: I have tons of experience with pet care . I’ve been working with dogs for about a year now. I’ve developed skills in feeding and grooming. I’m knowledgeable about different pet needs, ensuring that each pet receives personalized attention and care. I’m currently working part-time, so i’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available on weekends and weekdays. Flexible with times during the days. I would provide a loving and safe environment. My approach includes regular feeding schedules, plenty of playtime, and daily walks to keep them active and engaged. I play close attention to each pets individual needs. And of course always ready to give them lots of love and attention!

About: I am currently a vet tech at a local animal hospital and have over 2 years of experience in that field. I have administered medication, vaccines, cared for sick animals that require extra attention, and have a vast knowledge of animal welfare. I have been a pet owner since I could walk. I have always cared for dogs from my own family, to relatives, to friends of the family. I helped my dog Lily give birth to her puppies and made sure they were always fed and safe, since Lily was only a year old herself and wasn't sure what to do. I'm able to give baths, I love cuddling and providing plenty of play time, and I will happily give treats to the best boys and girls I care for (that's all of them!) I provide a lot of pictures during my visits because I know how much trust it takes for someone to take care of your baby while you're gone, and I want to provide as much peace of mind as I can that they are being well cared for and loved. I am currently a vet tech at a local animal hospital, but have temporarily gone part-time to finish my Bachelor's in Animal Science, so I have fairly open availability to care for your baby during the week. I am very flexible and can work with you on providing times for care that work best for you and your fur baby! I have vast experience caring for animals in my own home, as I am also a foster mom for my hospital's rescue from time to time! I have cared for several people's animals in the comfort of their own homes as well! I have moved into a house, so I have a nice, unfenced yard for potty breaks and play time, or we can always go for walks at the park! I provide a lot of pictures during my visits because I know how much trust it takes for someone to take care of your baby while you're gone, and I want to provide as much peace of mind as I can that they are being well cared for and loved.

About: I’ve been providing loving pet care and dog walking services since 2010, with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. My background started in childcare as a nanny, where caring for the family’s pets naturally became part of the role. Over the years, that grew into extensive pet care experience including walks, drop-in visits, in-home care, vet visits, administering medications, basic training reinforcement, and grooming support. Caring for animals is more than just a side job for me—it’s something I truly enjoy. I love building trust with both pets and their owners, and I take pride in being dependable, consistent, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship, routine care, or just a reliable person while you’re away, I’m here to help and treat them like family. I had the pleasure of being a stay-at-home mom to my 3 children for the last 12 years. I'm slowly merging back into the working world (part-time for now), but my dream would be to care for pets full-time. Currently, I'm available during the days my children are at school (8:30a.m.- 4p.m.) Monday-Friday. And 2 weekends out of the month, I'm completely available. Please let me know what you're looking for and there's a good chance I can make it happen, even outside these hours. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by adhering to their usual routines, whether that's in my home or yours. I will follow all instructions carefully--feeding schedules, medication needs, potty breaks, walks, etc. In a client's home, I'm very respectful of your space. I keep things clean, stick to agreed-upon areas, and make sure everything is left exactly how I found it. Safety and security for both you and your pet is my priority. I will monitor gates and doors, making sure they are secured as need be. When walking, I stay alert in the environment, monitoring all my surroundings. Your pet(s) will get plenty of TLC, attention, and playtime, taking note of their individual temperament and what it's calling for. Communication is very important to me. I will always send updates and photos so owners feel confident and at ease while they're away.

“Courtney is great! Very responsive, and so sweet to our Teddy, he loves her! We have booked recurring dog walks with her and she is great about our schedule (we are on rotating shifts), she was very accommodating with the exact days we need. Will continue booking with her!”

About: I’ve cared for animals for many years and truly treat every pet like family. I understand how important it is to feel at peace when someone else is caring for your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I offer dependable, attentive care with a calm and nurturing presence. I’m experienced with daily routines, feeding, walks, administering basic medications, and making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious pets and gentle with senior animals who need a little extra care and attention. I had my precious doggy (the yellow guy) for over 17 years and held him until his last breath. He was a larger breed and I didn’t expect him to live that long! I also brought my Persian kitty (almost quite literally) back to life after he was badly injured-likely a car accident. He was on a feeding tube for months and I cleaned and dressed his wounds, prepared his liquid food and kept him going when I was 8 years old. He eventually moved out with me to my first house and peacefully passed away on my bed ❤️‍🩹 As a mom, I bring a natural level of responsibility, awareness, and consistency into everything I do. You can trust that your pets—and your home—are in caring, capable hands. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can feel connected while you’re away 💛 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m intentional about being reliable and consistent. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs, whether that’s morning, midday, evening, or nighttime visits. I’m flexible and do my best to accommodate last-minute requests when I’m available. Your pet’s routine and comfort always come first. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, routines, medications, and any special care needs. I’m respectful of your home, keep things clean, and ensure doors, gates, and pets are always secure. I prioritize calm, attentive care so your pet feels safe and at ease while you’re away.

“Anastasiya took our girl Charlotte (5 year old Shepsky) for walks while my wife and I went out of town for 4 days. Charlotte can pull from time to time while walking, Anastasiya handled the walks like a pro. She took excellent care of our pup. She was punctual, affordable, dependable, communicated well and went above and beyond for our girl. She will be who we use anytime we go out of town! Thanks Anastasiya!”

About: I’ve grown up my entire life with dogs and have taken care of them for as long as I can remember, they are a blessing! I currently intern twice a week, so other than that I a more than happy to help your furry friends! I take care of my dogs when I am home, so it is nothing new! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room as well as a safe neighborhood to bring and walk the dogs in, as this is the priority!

“Working full time its hard to raise a new puppy! I needed some reliable help! Skipper came and did a meet/greet, could tell instantly that my puppy would be in good hands. He is retired and very flexible. I dont have to worry about my puppy when Iam at work”

About: I grew up on a farm and took care of a variety of animals. As a young teen I spent my summers volunteering at a Vet Clinic where I fed, walked, and bathed numerous cats and dogs. As I got older, I began to pet sit while family and friends went on vacation. I am currently off for the Summer, so I am home all day to ensure your furry friends are well loved. I am available weekdays and weekends. I have an unfenced yard with several trees lining the back of the property. Your pet will be safely supervised while in the yard, whether on the leash or off. Pets can be crated as needed, but are free to roam the house and lay on the furniture. Our home is their home!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10. Through neighbors, family, and friends I have been able to take care of many different dog breeds, behavior levels, and ages. From 10 pounds to 120 I have been able to learn about different reactions and temperaments and how to handle mostly everything. Working at a grooming salon that specialized in disabled and senior dogs has definitely helped teach me some skills on how to handle tough situations and make sure your baby is okay 100% of the time. Working as a current Veterinary Assistant I can assure you that your fur baby will be in good hands with any emergencies or accidents. I currently work part time as a veterinary assistant during most weekdays so that means I’m able to watch your fur babies all weekend long! Only able to look after dogs at your own home. Will make sure no mess is left and that your fur babies routine will continue as normal.

About: Having had dogs since I was born, and my entire life, I've always been the one in my family to teach them (sit, speak, paw, spin) and care for them when no one else is home. I have cared for a range of dog and cat breeds from when they were babies to in their old age. I hope to care for your animals too. I have a dog, I care for it everyday, and I am currently (June 2026) fostering another dog for a couple of weeks while its owner recovers from surgery. I take them on walks daily and play outside with them. We watch tv and sometimes I read to them (it doesn’t last, they get bored of it). As an owner of a dog with a chicken allergy I can understand specific needs, I prefer a more lax and chilled environment and my energy usually gets pets to follow.

“Kimberly does a great job and sends me tons of pictures. Bentley has a great time every day during his walks. She's a great communicator and punctual”

“Heather is the best!!! She was great with my 2 dogs and they loved her. Heather is kind, friendly, and a great communicator. It’s always great finding someone who takes such good care of your pups while you’re away.”
