Dog Walking Raines Corner

“Jessica was amazing! She walked my two dogs, a high strung chihuahua and elderly dog (14 y.o.), for 30min for 4 days. She reached out and asked if I wanted her to meet the dogs before walking them which was great. The chihuahua tends to bark his head off at strangers, and I wasn't sure how he'd react (he ended up running away from her the first day for 15min, sorry Jessica). The older dog had diarrhea throughout the house one day, and cleaning up after something like that isn't really what I consider her job. I told her she didn't need to worry about it, and I'd deal with it when I got back. However, she ended up cleaning up as much as she could anyways (that's going to be a big tip). Besides my dogs being a huge pain. She always responded quickly and sent a lot of pictures from the walks.”

About: I have had family pets my entire life. I currently have one pup at home, and often take care of family and friends’ pets while they are out of town! I work from 8 to 3, and am available to take care of pets before and after work on weekdays. My weekends are completely free and I stay local for holidays! I am off during the summer so I am available whenever you need me! I am very detail oriented when taking care of peoples pets, because I know how I want my fur baby to be treated! I also pay close attention to the mood of animals when taking care of them to ensure the best possible interaction.

“Lisa is AMAZING! Bane and her clicked right off the bat. He enjoys his walks and the love she gives him while I am away at work. She is number one in my book and I couldn’t ask for a better person to watch my baby boy. I highly recommend her for any service you may need.”

“Hailey comes highly recommended if you want someone punctual, honest, trustworthy and willing to go above and beyond to provide the best professional care for your animals. She took care of our Reese’s for almost five days while we were away. She provided great pics, perfectly capturing our girls happiness! She also provided in great detail how each individual walked played out. She made sure she always had fresh water and food. You really can’t go wrong with this one.”

About: Hello, My name is Stephanie. Ever since I can remember I have been surrounded by animals. I have experience with dogs, cats, mice, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, ferrets, horse, etc. When I turned 21, my sister and I bought a 67 acre farm in PA which we still own. I have since moved to VA with my husband and 3 kids along with our Furbabies. Yes, I had to upgrade to a mini van just to fit everyone but I wouldn't want it any other way. I would treat your babies as if they were my own. I would make sure they recieve tons of love while you are gone with updated pictures if requested. Please feel free to send me a message if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting you! Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into my day it is my day. 🐾 Pet sitting is my full-time job, so my daily and weekly routine revolves around making sure every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and well exercised. I provide care in both my home and my clients’ homes, depending on the service selected and what keeps each pet most comfortable. Every pet is different, so I tailor care to their energy level, personality, and any special instructions. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe and happy.

About: Reliable and caring pet lover with experience walking dogs and providing in-home pet sitting. Skilled in handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments, maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic care, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while owners are away. Strong communication skills, reliable transportation, and flexible availability. I am currently a nanny but I am not full time as of right now. I have a lot of free time to stop by and give your dog love and attention. I have a little 8 pound poodle who lives in my home with a big field for playing. I would just do in house visits and take your dog to the park (or whatever you are comfortable with). My house would not be open for play time with other dogs.

“Paige is so flexible and understanding. I had to cancel a couple hours before because my husband got sick. She graciously made the changes. She’s also fantastic with our pup. I highly recommend her.”

And as a passionate animal lover, I understand that your pet isn’t *just a pet*, they’re family. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, my goal is to ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I’ve done my entire life. I’ve been pet sitting since I was a kid, and I’ve always been the person who notices the animals before anything else. Growing up, I was the kid who would walk into someone’s home and greet their pets before I even said hello to the people. I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and have never been able to pass by an animal in need without wanting to help. That lifelong passion eventually became a career. I have 11 years of professional veterinary experience, giving me extensive hands-on experience caring for animals and understanding their behavior, needs, routines, and individual personalities. I’m also knowledgeable about many different species, so I’m comfortable caring for a wide variety of animals. More Than a Sitter With my veterinary background and lifelong experience around animals, I bring a level of awareness and attentiveness that I believe makes a real difference. I’m observant, patient, and genuinely invested in the well-being of every animal entrusted to my care. Most importantly, I treat your pets like individuals—not just another booking. When you’re away, you shouldn’t have to worry about whether your pets are being loved, cared for, and understood. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, experienced hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your babies and give them the kind of care they deserve. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule, and am willing to work with you. As of the moment, I am mostly free and able to work any day of the week. Your Pet, Your Rules ❤️ I understand that every pet—and every pet parent—is different. You know your baby best, and I will respectfully follow your instructions, routines, preferences, and expectations for their care. Whether your pet needs a specific feeding schedule, extra patience, medication, a certain walking routine, or simply lots of love and companionship, I’ll make sure their care is tailored to them. My goal is never to simply “watch” your pet. I want them to have such a positive experience that their time away from you feels more like a vacation than a separation.

About: Bottom line is, I will do everything possible to make your pet safe, comfortable and happy in your home or mine. I understand the anxiety of leaving your loved one in someone else's hands. I suffer those same feeling and I have known and trust my caretaker 100 percent! I have owned, raised and cared for dogs my entire life. I've experienced the various needs, habits and personalities of our four-legged friends through the years. While I love spending time with puppies, I also enjoy taking care of adult dogs or dogs that require special attention. My most valuable qualification for taking care of your pet is that I absolutely Love and respect our four legged children. You can trust me to always make your pets comfort my first priority when I am with them. I am self-employed and can adjust my working hours to suit your needs. I will also be retiring soon and will have more available hours to care for your pet. I have a fenced in back yard and a doggie door (that can be closed when needed). I also do my best to get to know each individual pet and their requirements.

About: I been around dogs and cats my whole life. I been housesitting for family and friends for the last 5-6years. My grandmother’s pets are on a strict schedule, and diet therefore I understand strict diet. I’ve worked on a farm so I have experience with farm animals, small pets, and some exotic animals. In the last two years, I’ve had two sets of puppies so I know what it takes to care of puppies. My Roxy was 13 year old when we had to put her down from old age, so I know what it takes to care for a senior dog. I’m currently not working, therefore I have plenty of time to cuddle, play and care with your pets. I can send pictures and/or videos thought your vacation for peace of mind! I like taking care of pets in their own house to make them feel as safe as possible. I will follow any rules or instructions you have for your house and pets.

About: Hi, I’m Ariel! I’m an experienced dog walker and pet sitter with a lifelong love for animals. I grew up in Denver, Colorado with a Great Dane, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds. While I don’t currently have a pet of my own, I truly enjoy the companionship and energy animals bring—whether it’s a long walk, some playtime, or a cozy night of pet sitting. Professionally, I work as a respiratory therapist, which means I’m highly attentive, calm under pressure, and used to caring for others in a variety of situations. I bring the same level of responsibility and adaptability to the pets I care for. I’ve looked after dogs, cats, birds, and even reptiles—and I’m always happy to tailor care to your pet’s unique needs and routine. When I’m not working or pet sitting, I love being active—walking, hiking, and exploring the mountains and neighborhoods around the mountains. I’d love the chance to meet your furry (or feathered or scaly!) friend and help however I can. Hope to hear from you! As a respiratory therapist, I work three night shifts a week, which means I have four full days off—plenty of time to dedicate to your pet! Even on the days I work, I’m home during the day and can still provide your dog with regular walks, playtime, and companionship before I head into my shift. My flexible schedule allows me to offer consistent, attentive care throughout the week, whether your pup needs a long walk, a quick potty break, or some extra snuggles and enrichment. I always prioritize keeping your pet happy, active, and loved—whether I’m with them for an hour or the whole day. Let’s find a routine that works perfectly for both you and your furry friend! When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their familiar environment and routine by: • Following the owner’s specific instructions for feeding, walking, play, and medication. • Maintaining their daily schedule to minimize disruption and stress. • Keeping the home tidy by cleaning up after the pet and ensuring fresh water is always available. • Offering companionship and attention to prevent loneliness or anxiety. • Providing regular updates to the owner, including photos or messages, so they can feel reassured.

“Mandi always provides great care and is very responsive and reliable!”

About: As an avid, pet lover I will take care of your pets, as if they were my own. I love cats and dogs and other small little creatures. Currently right now I have a pretty flexible schedule working from home so I have an ability to take care of your pets during the day. I will make sure your pets are safe in my care. When we go for walks I will always have them leashed and protect them from other animals.

About: i've taken care of animals of all kinds my whole life from personal experience to holding jobs at doggy specific businesses! i've done it all from daycare/boarding to all natural and holistic feeding and care :) i currently work throughout the week/weekend but i'm very flexible on my days off as well as i could definitely take a walk or two after my work day is over, usually around 4pm or sooner :) i currently live out in the woods on a little bit of land with my fiancee and our 3 pups! they absolutely love their outside time but of course safety is of the most importance so our pups have been extensively trained off leash to avoid any wild life, potential dangers, and just to have amazing recall. i definitely understand though that this isn't the case for all pups and that's totally okay so when coming to care for your pup i'd take the most precaution to ensure everyone stays happy, healthy, and playing!

“We made last minute plans to be out of town all day on a Saturday and Jade was awesome to let us book at such short notice. She met us for a key drop off and our pupper was a happy guy when we got home. She is great with communication and she very clearly loves dogs and knows how to care for them. We recommend her and are booking her for some overnights soon. Thanks Jade!”

About: I've consistently had at least one cat and dog in my household at all times, if not two! I took Small Animal Care 1&2 in high-school. Durring summer breaks I went to horse camp where we learned how to safely handle, ride, and groom horses. I occasionally take care of my neighbors chickens when they go on vacation. I am currently working part-time and my schedule is made on a monthly basis. I'm available most weekends and weekdays after 1pm. Can do early mornings and late potty breaks. The house I live in has a large front yard and a larger backyard. It is unfenced but in a safe neighborhood that's perfect for walking

“We had a great walk yesterday. Rochelle was great. She walked Prince and handled him very well. She also learned some of our walking routes as well as side streets of Ashland.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 7 years, and it’s something I genuinely love. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra care and attention. I treat every pet like family and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care is a regular and rewarding part of my weekly routine. I’m calm, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs making sure they get the right balance of exercise, playtime, and rest throughout the day. Pets stay in a clean, cozy, and pet-friendly space with plenty of room to relax or play, including a fully fenced yard where they can safely explore and enjoy the outdoors. There’s always someone home even if I need to step out briefly, my mom grandma or my boyfriend, who are both equally experienced and caring with pets, are always around to help. I usually introduce them during meet and greets so everyone feels comfortable and at ease
