Dog Walking in Richmond

“Nathan has been an enormous help to me since I sprained an ankle right before the holidays. He was available right away, was willing to walk Tina twice a day, and even walked her on Christmas Day! He's easy-going and flexible, and Tina is delighted when the doorbell rings. He's been a life-saver, I highly recommend him.”

“Cyndi is fantastic! She walked our two dogs last week and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. She’s incredibly communicative, clearly loves what she does, and brings a professional touch with her own pet-focused business. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such caring and capable hands. Highly recommend!”

“Michael did such an amazing job caring for our dog while he was out of town! He took him for walks and also spent time playing with him in our yard so that he wouldn’t be lonely while we were away and sent us the cutest pictures so we knew that our little fluffball was doing ok! He also went above and beyond by bringing in our mail and packages and taking out our trash cans on collection day. Highly recommend Michael - he’s responsible, kind, and very easy to work with!”

About: i know it might sound weird.....but when i see a dog -- any dog -- my heart leaps in my chest. it's crazy! i am in love with them. When I care for your dogs I am not only feeding and walking them, I am listening to their cues, giving them love and attention, and making sure they know they are LOVED and IMPORTANT. Dogs make the world a better place. I am currently working part time, as a massage therapist, and I have plenty of time to care for your dogs and cats. I absolutely provide top notch care for their needs, as if they were my own. Being around them enriches my life! Also, as a massage therapist, I have experience providing Reiki/energy work for injured, sick, or elderly pets. They are so responsive to it, and it definitely helps to calm anxiety and stress. I have a fenced in yard, a small friendly dog who lives for social time with dogs and cats, and am happy to honor your requests as far as crating them, or having them in bed with me at night. I make sure all pets in my care know they can trust me to give them the utmost love and attention.

“Lili is very responsive to the human and very attentive to the dog. My dog won’t eat around strangers but Lili manages to earn her trust on the first visit. Highly recommend Lili!”

About: Hi, I’m Kaitlin—I grew up with cats and a dog as a kid. As an adult, I’ve been a rescue-/senior-cat mom for over 8 years, and I’ve been a paraplegic dog-mom for over 6 years! I Rover’ed regularly in 2017-18 before my career as an attorney took off—now that I’ve left the legal profession, I’m hoping to get back into caregiving for beloved fur babies like yours. I can’t wait to meet you & to be your pet’s new buddy!! My farm boy of a father taught me how to respect and train dogs at a young age. My teacher-mother showed me how to love and care for dogs by getting to know their individual personalities. Coming from a family of animal lovers has made me the responsible Rover friend you and your furbaby are looking for :) Given my own pets’ unique needs, I’m experienced in administering medication to cats & dogs alike, and I’m unbothered by the inevitable pet messes that come with age, disability, or surgery recovery. Since my dog’s ANNPE (spinal cord injury), I’ve learned how to manually express her bladder and keep her clean & healthy on a daily basis. Given the high level of care she needs, she may accompany me from time-to-time, but only with your permission and after an appropriate Meet-and-Greet so that all humans & animals alike are comfortable with each other. That said, my dog can be left home alone for 4-5 hours, so she’d only tag along with me if absolutely necessary. Otherwise, I'm always connected, so I'm a quick communicator, and I'll aim to provide you with a response ASAP. Of course, I'm always available whenever I'm with your pet, and I'm not afraid to ask questions. My routine is your routine—I'll do whatever you ask of me because you know what's best for your furbaby! Thanks for considering me!! Having recently left the legal profession, I am currently unemployed and looking to Rover at least part-time, if not full-time, after building a local client base here in the East Bay. So my time is very flexible right now, and I can likely accommodate most, if not all, schedules. I’ll do my best to keep my calendar up-to-date with any pre-planned unavailabilities on my end. Whenever I’m caring for your pets in your home, I will always strive to be respectful of your space and any rules you have in place for yours and your pets’ safety & security while I’m there. Please be sure to communicate whatever you need from me while I’m a guest in your home caring for your pets. I always strive to take notes, but please feel free to leave written instructions behind for me to consult while I’m caring for your pet.

About: Hello! I am passionate about animal care and love dogs and cats! I grew up with dogs all my life so I know how to care for your animal. :) I regularly walk dogs for 30-60 minutes. I make sure to walk the dogs for at least .75 miles for a half hour walk and 1 mile for an hour walk. I can also walk two dogs at the same time so if you have 2 dogs don't be afraid to book me! Usually the walks amount to a greater distance than that! I am also available for overnight pet sitting and drop ins to make sure your furry friends are doing okay at home (feeding them etc.) I make sure to fulfill all your needs with pet care and am excited to meet your pets! I currently work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible! Message me and we can work out schedules and your pet’s needs. I’m here to care! I offer sitting at your home and can accommodate any needs you have like watering plants, taking out the trash, etc. Just let me know the deets :).

“Melany is great per usual. This is many many times we used her as our sitter. Will definitely keep booking Melany for future bookings. Thank Melany”

“Mason did a terrific job with Baxter. He was attentive and took his time allowing Baxter to sniff and pee. Baxter clearly bonded with Mason, giving him the interim use of one of his plush toys before Mason left. I highly recommend Mason. Gale Justin”

About: 🐾 Hey I’m Yasmin! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I believe in treating all animals with kindness and being gentle❤️ What sets me apart from others? Well, it’s not just a JOB to me. 🐾 I work from home and can drop in on your pets to check on them! You can book me for dog walking as well! 🐾 I can deal with needy/anxious dogs and cats. ❤️ I always send cute pictures/updates daily! As you can see, I LOVE making collage pics of your pets it’s so fun to keep as a memory 😊 ❤️‍🩹 I offer Constant Care (24/7 care) for dogs that can’t be left alone at all for any amount of time. This sets me apart from others because I can be much more personal with your pet, insuring they get exercise, and feel as normal as possible in a real home environment. I deal with anxious pets very well, and I enjoy doing this! I work part time during the week and I’m able to drop in depending on the times you request! Just reach out and let me know :) ❤️🐾I can drop in anytime you want and check on your pets, feed them, brush them, clean them, walk them, and give them attention while you’re gone.

“We are just starting with weekly walks and Harold has been very patient with Penny who is nervous and not ready to leave the house with a stranger yet. He has given her space and has not pressured her. Very appreciative.”

About: Has today been ruff? Your dog been sassy and fur-ocious? Did it bite the hound that feeds it? Well, let me take your dog(s) for a walk - that’s the leashed I could do! Feel free to request the various services I offer; from drop-ins to doggy day care and walks. I grew up taking care of two dogs, Ozzie B and Shadow (a shih tzu and pitbull, respectively), for about 15 years. Life gets busy and I get it, but your pet may feel sad or eager for its daily walks...so why have them go without?! I would love the opportunity to care for your pet, where their safety and comfort aren't compromised. I always feel bad for pets when they are out of their routine or environment; therefore, I am empathetic toward them and patient. I work from home and have the ability to care for your pet; from letting them sunbathe and relax in my spacious fenced backyard or join me on an afternoon run. My flexible schedule allows me to cater to your pet's needs and ensure they are comfortable and feel right at home! I have a fenced-in yard and security cameras that allow me to keep a close eye on them while they are in the backyard and I am in my home office.

“Great communication, did a meet and greet with our dog and they hit it off. Also appreciated the detailed notes from their walk.”

About: Hello, Thank you for visiting my profile! I've always loved animals, which is needless to say because I’ve had pets most of my life. I am mostly experienced with smaller pets. However, I volunteer at my local dog shelter and have hands-on experience with larger dogs. Volunteering at the shelter has taught me valuable skills. Like how to avoid confrontations between large dogs, and how to provide the best and most enriching socialization for dogs. After all, a happy dog is a healthy dog. I am very passionate about providing high-quality animal care full-time and enjoy every second of it. Your pet will be in great hands. In my freetime, I love to go on hikes and paint. However, there's nothing I love more than spending time with animals. Since I live in an apartment complex, away visits and stays would be ideal. I always make sure that your furry friend is taken care of and comfortable at all times. I am very good at figuring out what to do in any scenario that may present itself. I always make sure to understand your pet's needs and forms of expression to be better equipped in general. I am not content with my work until I'm 100 percent positive that your best furry friend is completely satisfied. I am more than happy to look after your pets any day of the week and have full availability all days. Please check my calendar schedule for updated availability. Safety is my highest priority and I am always asking questions to provide the best care and security at all times! Making sure I understand how to keep your pet happy and satisfied is crucial for a perfect stay.

“Our dog loved waking with Alan. He was punctual and asked the right questions about her before starting the walk. We’ll surely book again with Alan soon!”

“Matt and Bella are wonderful! They have excellent communication, asked all the right questions, and listened to/understood my concerns about caring for my anxious pup. They were patient and took things as slow as my pup needed to warm up to new friends, and took care in getting to know us as well—sharing many fun stories and experiences! I would love for them to return again and again.”
