Dog Walkers in Raccoon Ford, VA

“After we had an awful first experience with rover with another Dog Walker, Deborah restored our faith in this service. What an incredible human, let alone dog walker. Consistent, great communication, and our dog adores her. I would go back to her 10 times out of 10!”

About: I have been looking after all kinds of dogs for 8 years, my dogs, my friends dogs, and neighbors dogs. It has been good experience with all the different dogs i have watched.

I have an open yard and walk my dogs making sure they get plenty outside time, and will do the same with your dogs just like I would mine.

About: Animals—especially dogs—are my passion! I have over a decade of experience pet-sitting and grooming dogs, and have owned, fostered and cared for dogs, cats and exotic pets of all breeds and sizes in my home since I was very young. I have always been particularly passionate about caring for and working with dogs. I am the proud owner of two Australian Shepherds, who I enjoy training in behavior and agility. If you're in need of someone who is loving, patient and trustworthy to look after your dog(s), please don't hesitate to reach out! I look forward to having the opportunity to care for your beloved fur babies, and promise to love them like they’re my own while you’re away. *I have experience working as a dog groomer—I offer bathing services at an additional cost! Feel free to ask.* I currently work remotely full time, so I am available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide attentive care to your dog(s). I have a fenced-in backyard and two friendly Australian Shepherds to keep your dog company. Your dog will have as much supervised outside play time as they would like, and will have free roam of the main floor of my house at other times. If you prefer your pet to be crated at times, just let me know your preference and I’ll be happy to accommodate. ***Note: to avoid stomach upset/any allergic reactions, dogs in my care will ONLY be given food and/or treats supplied and approved by their owner. Additionally, to help protect my family, home and other dogs in my care, I ask that owners please ensure their dogs are up to date with flea/tick/worm preventative. If parasites are found, a $100 cleaning fee will apply.***

“Ronda was great and went above and beyond. We needed to book last minute, and she did a meet and greet the same day. Ronda was thorough which put our minds at ease that our baby was well looked after.”

About: I love animals. I will take the best care of your pet. I'm fine with handling aggressive ones and bigger dogs too. I've taken care of animals all my life, so you can travel without a worry. Right now I'm open any day and time. I can overnight stay and house sit as well. I'm a fan of cats and other animals too. I'll follow your instructions to the letter.

About: I was raised with dogs (shelties, primarily) and now have a hobby farm with goats, dogs (german shepherds, a lab and a sheltie), ducks and a cat. I'm reliable and friendly and happy to follow whatever instruction and routine you need. Your pets will be well cared for and you'll receive plenty of photo updates while you're gone! I have a very flexible schedule, so I am able to accommodate nearly any routine your pet is used to, including frequent walks and potty breaks. I will work with you to keep your pet's schedule as close to what they are used to as possible. If boarding in my home, we have a fenced yard, plenty of area to go on leashed walks, and they will get plenty of one on one attention and care. I'm happy to do transport or add in a bath during your pet's stay so your life can be as simple as possible while you're trying to get out the door for your trip. Pet care is my full time job and priority. I can adapt as needed to make sure your pet keeps the routine they are comfortable with, even when you aren’t home. I will ask questions and take notes on your pets’ routine and then do my best to ensure that those habits are in place with me.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a child. I have taken care of dogs, pigs, chickens and a cat. I can train puppies and I have taken care of special need puppies as well. I can do any day of the week, up until 5pm and no later than 6:30am. I prefer to have my weekends free but if I need to I can watch your dogs. I don't have a fenced in area but I have plenty of space around to walk the dogs and typically with my dogs I can let my dogs out without a leash and they stay on the property. I don't mind fenced in areas I always clean up after the dogs I watch.

About: I am owned by my Australian Shepherd mix Luke, Flat Coat Retreiver Mack, chihuahua mix Dover and Jack Russel Dallas and I am here to put your mind at ease while you go on vacation or out of town for a business trip! I also have extensive experience with the feline variety. I am an EMT-B for humans, but I have also taken training classes in dog/cat CPR and Heimlich. Not that we will need it. I have experience in administering medication by mouth, IM injections and testing blood glucose. Feel free to contact me with any questions. I would prefer to stay in your home so that the fur kid will be more comfortable and maybe it will help with any separation anxiety. I do not mind bringing in the mail or any other task that may be similar.

About: I have grown up surrounded by all sorts of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, bearded dragons, chickens, and more, which sparked my lifelong passion for animal care. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Animal Science from Virginia Tech, where I deepened my knowledge of animal health, behavior, and management. Additionally, I worked for three years in a veterinary hospital, where I gained hands-on experience assisting with medical procedures, patient care, and client education. These experiences have provided me with a strong foundation in animal science and care across a wide range of species. I’m an Animal Science teacher currently on summer break, and I’m looking to fill my time with puppy love and long walks. Growing up with all kinds of animals and earning my degree in Animal Science from Virginia Tech, I’ve always had a deep love and understanding of animals. With three years of hands-on experience working in a veterinary hospital, I’m comfortable handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m reliable, flexible, and excited to spend my free time giving dogs the care, attention, and exercise they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when it comes to animals in the home. My time at home with pets is always filled with playtime, cuddles, belly rubs, and plenty of attention. I create a loving, secure environment where animals feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. There’s rarely a moment when I’m not either snuggling with a dog, playing fetch, or simply making sure they feel safe and loved. Building trust through kindness, consistency, and gentle care is at the heart of every interaction I have with animals.

About: I have been pet sitting and house sitting for 1+ days at a time for about 11 years. I treat every home with respect and all pets as my own. I love bonding with and meeting new animals! Each family I've sat for has called me back to sit for them again! Additionally, I have met many new doggos when babysitting in new family's homes. I always treat the pets just as well as the kiddos, giving them lots of love and behind the ear scratches. My family has always had dogs and I've loved dogs of all breeds since I was a little girl. I am a full time speech-language pathologist during the school year, but have flexibility in my schedule and I’m working from home half of the week. I am available for am/pm/afternoon drop in/walk visits and some weekends depending on location and dates. In your home I am comfortable and confident in my abilities taking your dogs out for walks on leashes, or leaving them out in the backyard to get some movement. I can stay and play for a while as needed to give them attention. I have a loving pit-mix at home. If our dogs got along we could potentially plan on having your pet come stay with us for a week/weekend! Additionally, we do have enough space (2 level home), a crate, and a fenced in yard so we can accommodate having another dog who does not get along with other dogs.

About: My family has a small farm with 3 German Shepherds and 3 cats, as well as cows, chickens, fish, and a bunny.Since i was born, there has never been a day where animals haven’t been apart of my life. Genuine care and love is all any animal deserves and i’m here to give it! Your fur baby or babies will be well cared for and loved like they're family. I just graduated high school and am taking some time to myself before starting college so I am always home and looking for some new four legged friends. I will feed and provide water as needed, regular walks or potty breaks outside and lots of play time. I can give medications if needed or take them to any kind of vet/groom visits.

About: I have a passion for dogs and have 2 fur babies of my own, Reggie and Perry! I have experience with walking dogs of all sizes and a variety of breeds. I will absolutely love spending time with your dog, as I will make sure they feel safe and loved! I am very patient and I realize that every dog has a different personality I am willing to get to know each and every dog, while building a relationship. I look forward to hearing from you very soon. Thank you! I am a teacher who is off for the summer and ready to spend time with your pet! Once school is back in session, I will be available during evenings, weekends, and most holidays! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily create your dog if needed for a quick break or nap! I will always make sure your pup is supervised while playing in the backyard.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a kid. Neighbors and friends entrusted me to watch their furry family members even now a days too. I only work a couple days a week so I have plenty of time to take care of and play with your furry baby. Friday nights with a furry friend is better than a Friday night at the bar. I like to communicate regularly with the owners and just let them know how their pet(s) are doing while they’re away. Pictures and videos included

I'm currently unemployed due to moving but will soon become a Notary. I'm available whenever someone needs me! Rover fits perfectly in my schedule. I take my dog for a walk 3 times a day. She has her food and water bowl out and full all the time. I giver her some wet food every other day. She sleeps in her dog bed in our bedroom. We don't crate her due to separation anxiety. I give her treats twice a day. I also buy her toys every once in awhile just to make her feel special.

About: Hello there! I come from a big dog family-there are always dogs around us! I grew up walking and taking care of family and friend's dogs of all breeds.

I will keep an attentive eye on your pet and make sure that they are properly fed and don't consume anything dangerous in the home or during the walk. I'll ensure a loving and trusting environment is created.
