Dog Walking Powhatan

About: I have always loved being around animals, I started walking dogs when I was 11 around my neighborhood and I have been pet sitting since I was 14 so I’ve had a lot of experience pet sitting/walking dogs! I currently walk dogs Monday through Friday but I am always looking for more🙌🏻 I do online college so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I would be happy to help anytime, I only need a little heads up!🫶🏻 I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, walks, or playtime—to keep them happy and relaxed. I treat every pet and home with respect, keeping everything clean and secure. I also love sending picture updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands while you’re away! 😊

About: As an owner of two chunky cats, I'm familiar with all kinds of pet care. I brush them, clip their nails, feed them their prescriptions, and scoop their litter box twice a day. I also maintain their sanitary areas and trim their paw pads. I provide a positive attitude and friendly energy to ensure all pets feel safe with me and don't discriminate due to their size or breed. I'm also familiar with vet hospitals and their business hours in my area if ever needed. Any pet is just a friend I haven't met yet! I work remotely, so I'm available most of the time. I prefer a two days notice, but understand emergencies can happen, so I can work with you on short notice too. At this time, I am only able to house a singular cat in an emergency. I have two cats of my own, but one is FAV positive. However, in an emergency situation, I am happy to dedicate a separate room in my home to meet your fur baby safe. In your home, I am happy to walk your pet or scoop their litter, feed them, give them prescriptions if needed, clip their nails or simply cuddle. I can visit periodically. I can play and exercise with any pet, big or small. I also inspect for ticks and tidy up paws after every outing.

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs and cats, I'm dedicated to giving every furry friend the love and attention they deserve. I'm here to work closely with you to ensure your pets' unique needs are met with personalized care and affection! As a current full time nursing student at Liberty University, spending time with your pups or kittens offers me a delightful break from my studies. I am in class/clinical Monday and Thursday's so I have a variety of days to provide your precious pets with the attention and care they deserve. While caring for pets in your home, I am to prioritize maintaining their routine while you are away. I follow the instructions left closely and ensure they receive the same level of care and attention as if you were there! This includes: * Feeding and hydration: I will follow your pet's feeding schedule and dietary needs and ensure they have fresh water at all times. * Exercise and Play: I engage in their favorite activities and walks to keep them well exercised and happy. Of course, adjusting according to their energy levels, and preferences. * Health and Hygiene: I monitor the health of your sweet pet, note any changes and immediately notify you, the owner, at the sign of any discomfort or illness. I also will attend to basic grooming such as brushing. * Companionship: Most importantly, I will provide plenty of love and attention to your furry companion! I will do my best to keep them company and ensure that they feel secure and loved as there owner is away. When a pet stays in my home, I create a warm, welcoming and safe environment for them that mimics their home life as closely as possible. My approach is as follows: * Comfort and Safety: I ensure that your pet has a designated place to relax, with cozy bedding and a secure area where they can feel at ease. * Routine Feeding, Hydration and Grooming: I will stick to the pet's regular feeding schedule and dietary requirements and their grooming routine as instructed. * Daily Activities: I will follow the pet's normal exercise and playtime amount into my daily routine - ensuring both mental and physical stimulation to keep your pet happy! * Health Monitoring: During their stay, I will keep a close eye on their overall behavior and health and am prepared to reach out to a vet if needed. (The closest 24hr Emergency Vet being only 8 minuets from my location!) In both settings, I aim to do what is the absolute best for your pet! My goal is to provide for your four-legged friend with a caring, attentive and safe environment that meets their needs.

About: I don’t just care for your pets, I strive to make them see me as part of the family! Also love to clean, so you know you will return to your house with it being just as clean as you left it. Ample training with young pups as well as caring for older animals. I work a job where I make my own hours, so I can fit whatever requirements into my schedule. No need to worry about long stretches without your loved one being checked on! Multiple walks are given each day (depending on their needs), with the option to run with them if they are high-energy dogs. All for the cuddles and playing inside for those that need either or both instead!

“Kaylee was amazing! She responded quickly and stayed in touch with me each day of her visit. She has patience with shy pets, and my dog warmed right up to her after the first walk. Definitely would use her again!”

About: I have six years of experience caring for dogs, including my own and pets belonging to friends and family. I’m dependable, patient, and comfortable following each dog’s individual routine. I can provide walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention while keeping owners updated with photos. My background in behavior has also taught me to remain calm, observant, and consistent with every pet. I work Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., so I’m available for evening visits during the week and have more flexible availability on weekends. I’ll always confirm timing in advance to ensure your pet receives dependable, unrushed care. I will follow your cat’s normal routine and all care instructions closely. I’ll keep doors and windows secure, refresh food and water, clean the litter box, provide playtime or quiet companionship, and send regular photo updates after each visit.

I have cared for several senior dogs and worked closely with a trainer for my husky pup. I work a flexible schedule, so I will have plenty of time to devote to your fur baby! I live an active lifestyle so I can provide lots of outdoor exercise time as needed. I am comfortable with taking your fur baby on walks, feeding and playtime as well as litter box cleaning for the kitties. I am respectful, calm, clean and reliable.

About: I have always been an animal lover, and my job has shown me how to specially care for each and every special baby. Two years in veterinary medicine gave me the experience to confidently handle medications, diabetic care, and reactive pets. I adore even your misunderstood animals and would love to send lots of photos, videos, and updates on your pets if allowed! I am not currently working a set job, so I have a very flexible schedule. I am actively looking for employment while continuing to provide pet-sitting services on the side. Because my schedule is currently flexible, I am able to accommodate a variety of pet-sitting needs and prioritize giving each pet the time and attention they deserve. When boarding pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where each animal feels at ease. I give plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles, and follow any specific routines or instructions from their owners. I also make sure they get proper meals, medication if needed, and regular bathroom breaks. I live in a very rural, quiet part of Bedford in the middle of the woods, so along with a large yard, we have many trails, with plenty of space to run or go on leashed walks! I love sending updates with photos or videos so you can see your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring animal lover with years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities.

I’m patient, hardworking, and reliable, and I truly love spending time with animals. I have a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate a variety of days and times throughout the week. I enjoy spending time with animals and make pet care a priority in my routine, whether that means feeding, playtime, walks, check-ins, or overnight care.

About: I have had dogs my entire childhood, and enjoy walking them on a daily basis as well as giving them the attention they truly deserve I currently am hoping this is my job for the summer, so I hope to be taking care of dogs anytime that I am needed. I care for my dogs at home in a fenced in area, but when I am walking them I ensure they are leashed at all times.

About: I have 1 of my own dogs who lives with me. But I also have experience with a total of 4 dogs as my parents have 3. All are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I am comfortable with all medium and small size dogs. I do request that they are house trained. I like to take dogs on walks but if they are smaller it is okay if they are not perfect at walking on a leash. I can even help work with them on that. I currently work a normal day job during the week. But I work remote, that means that the dogs would not be alone at all during the day. They would have someone to care for them, take them out and feed them if necessary. Every day it is not raining, I do go on a 1 mile walk with my dog on my lunch so that they get good exercise. HOUSE SITTING: I can work remote from your house providing care all day. However, my dog Charlie would also have to come with me. If this is something that you do not feel comfortable with, I can offer drop in help instead. I have 1 of my own dogs (Charlie) who lives with me full time. My apartment is fully equipped for a dog to be here safely. I have a balcony where the dogs can spend time enjoying the fresh air. My dog gets along with all other dogs and is very friendly as he used to go to daycare with many other dogs. I have the ability to walk the dogs, get them fresh air and exercise. I also have dog toys and bones available for them to use. Dogs are allowed in all areas of my place. Including the couch, dog beds and human beds. Allowing them to be where they feel the most comfortable.

I am not offering in home sitting but can take care of pups overnight in my home as I have a fenced in yard, crate and a very friendly Aussie doodle. I grew up on a farm surrounded by cats, dogs, chickens, goats and guinea hens. I learned from a young age how to take care of animals. We had 9 family dogs over my lifetime and probably 30+ cats (indoor and outdoor). I have taken personal responsibility to feed/ walk and take care of our animals and I’ve house sat and watched pet for others over the years as well. I understand that I am taking care of a member of your family and I will always treat them with the love and care that they need. I have worked as a volunteer at an animal shelter so I have experience working with animals that have experienced trauma, neglect, and abuse. I love to get pets outside as much as I can on walks or to play if this is an option for your pet. I am new to Rover and would be happy to give you more personal references if needed.
