Dog Walking Richmond

“Tessa was so helpful! She responded very promptly for a last minute dog walk with our Dalila. She cleaned up an accident Dalila had and even a mess our cats made with a bag of catnip!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid. I’ve cared for friends and families dogs of all sizes and ages. I currently have a female American bully but in the past I’ve had English mastiffs, pit bulls, and a border collie. I enjoy high energy dogs that love to run and play as well as older dogs that just want to play around and be loved on. I am currently a student athlete at EKU so I’m normally at the school early in the mornings with breaks throughout the day then finished around 2pm. I currently live in an apartment. I also have one friendly and very active pup to keep yours company. I will always be outside with the pups they are never out there alone.

About: I have been around animals my whole life and am passionate about caring for pets of all kinds! I truly believe pets are family and I know how hard it can be to leave your babies home, that is why I am dedicated to providing quality, exceptional care and tons of loving to your furbabies to help you feel as at ease as possible. I promise to go above and beyond to ensue your pets are happy & content during their staycation! I have 7 furbabies of my own: 3 pups, 2 kitties, and 2 free roam bunnies! They are my whole world. I am also one of the founders of a 501c3 cat rescue and am passionate about saving the lives of animals in need! I have previous professional experience working in a cat/dog boarding & daycare facility as well as currently as a dog bather in a salon. I can provide medication administration and am comfortable caring for pets with special needs as well as seniors and anxious/fearful babies. I will take my time earning their trust and love to build positive relationships with all of the animals I care for. I don't mind getting my hands dirty to clean up any accidents either. Your babies come first and I can't wait to get to meet them! I am currently working 8 hours Wednesday through Saturday so I’m available for morning/evening drop offs those days and am completely free Sunday through Tuesday to care for your furbabies! The safety and comfort of your furbabies is my number 1 priority! I will take as much time as they need getting to know them and earning their trust, so that they will be as happy as possible while you are away. My care will be tailored to your pets and their routines to help them feel as at ease as possible. I also love to keep parents updated and have a passion for photography, so I'll be sure to send you cute pics and videos of your babies!

“Mindy is a true blessing to our group of 3 pups. My rescue who is scared of everyone and everything looks for weds to her walks with Mindy. Can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I adore animals, and with me, your pet will always remain safe and pampered. I have a long history of animal care, having grown up raising and caring for just about anything you could imagine. I am a college student and athlete, and I am an expert at juggling my workload. I can be wherever needed at any point, except when I have class or soccer games. I believe in treating everything with proper respect and care, especially when that entails others' property. I have no issue cleaning messes made by pets, and will always do my best to prevent any misshaps.

About: I am a pre-veterinary student who has been working with animals since the age of eight. I grew up doing 4H and FFA, and worked at my mother‘s pet care business all throughout my life. I am very experienced in all sorts of animal care, and am experienced with sensitive animals. I have been working as a veterinary technician since 2023, and have been taking care of pets long before then. I am experiencing taking care of animals with difficult medical needs. I also don’t mind the rowdy ones! I love to spend time working with shy pets, and training the energetic ones! I am currently working as a veterinary assistant, but I have a very flexible schedule and I’m able to work around your pet’s needs. My schedule is able to be adapted for my clients. Each animal in my care receives my undivided attention, and I have experience in recognizing and acting on signs of medical emergencies. I often spend time with pets teaching new behaviors and making the pet feel like they are loved.

“Alicia is not just dog walker, she really put in the work to form a fast bond with my pup and is always looking for ways to make or keep her happy and feeling safe. I guarantee it's my pup's favorite time of day when Alicia stops by.”

About: For years I have been invested & passionate about caring for animals of all shapes and sizes! Ever since I was a little kid growing up on a farm, I remember learning how to interact with and train dogs on the basics of doggy life! My availability is very flexible and I’m always willing to help out a fellow doggo! It would be a privilege and opportunity to care for and meet your doggo! Dogs are a huge part of my life! I work for a furniture company full time as a warehouse lead I have full time flexible availability so it's a great way to stay interactive within the community and fits into my active lifestyle. :) I cater to the individual, my home is an apartment I'm currently available to dog sit any time during the week or weekends my schedule is open all day and night to dog sit for you animals needs! It’s all dependent upon what the client requests are. I tailor my doggy care to the clients desires and strive to meet or exceed them daily.

About: I have been around pets my whole life, but dogs are my favorite! I love them all, from puppies to the senior friends. I regularly care for my family dogs and I have experience caring for friends dogs and I have several regular clients. I have experience with puppy care and training, bathing, feeding, and administering medication. I also have experience with senior dog care nearing the end of life and all others in between. I have no trouble creating the special bond needed with most dog personalities. Dogs are truly our best friends! I play and exercise my own dogs daily. I understand the importance of keeping dogs engaged, healthy, and active. I do have a part-time job, but schedules are flexible given enough notice. I am so excited to care for your pup! I like to make sure the doggie is a happy, tired doggie when I do have to leave them. They love me and know fun is in store when I’m around. I play fetch and frisbee in the backyard and go on long walks around the neighborhood. If we can’t be outside I’ll play games with them indoors to challenge their minds and keep them occupied. Then of course there’s snuggle time together until they’re ready to nap or go to sleep in their crates or bed.

About: Greetings, valued customers, my name is Jordan. I appreciate you viewing my profile to get to know me a little better. I kindly ask that you read my profile in ENTIRETY so you have a better understanding to determine if we are a great fit and for detailed scheduling information down below. I look forward to hearing from you and I'm delighted to be here for all your animal care needs. I have cared for fish, dogs, cats, parrots and other birds, bearded dragons, snakes, chickens, goats, bunnies, doves, mini horses, pigs, other farm animals, and other reptiles, amphibians and exotic animals. I have been offering animal care services for eight years, and I completely love and enjoy doing it. The love that animals have for humans is an incredible thing to experience. Caring for animals makes my life so much more meaningful, and I love doing it for people who need my services. Also, knowing that people need my animal care services, fulfills my passion for helping others in life. I love and enjoy being of service to others, and it makes me so happy to be able to do so. I'm currently working as an RBT (Registered Behavioral Technician) (I work with people with autism and help them better adapt to everyday life), and I work with Rover as a petsitter as well. If you contact me for a lenghty petsit, I am able to ask off work with no complications (with more than a 2 week notice), however if you are in need of a speedy petsit, I can work with your schedule (but I may have to work a few hours during the day on week days, with no complications). My Rover calender will reflect my availability will continually be updated. Please check the calender before reaching out. Thank you for your understanding. I prefer going to a client's house to take care of their animals in a familiar environment, along with a detailed list of instructions of do's and dont's for their pet. Instructions on animal care are to ensure the animal's safety when they are with me, without me needing to unnecessarily contact and bother the owner while they are away. Also, a general list of outdoor activities I can do with the pet is welcome. For example, if I can take the pet hiking, to the park, for walks, etc. Also, does your pet get along with other animals, children, or people well, and does your pet get car sick? These variables are essential information for me to know to ensure the best care while you are away. My passion is pets, and I want to ensure your pets are comfortable and safe with me, so I highly encourage more than enough information on caring for your babies. Please note if your location is 40 miles, plus, in distance from my Rover given location, I charge for milage, for the traveling/distance in the initial reservation contact message for meet and greets. I will send you a new quote to your initial request for these changes in price due to milage charges. Thank you for understanding this policy.

About: I have experience both walking and caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I also have a golden doodle, Daisy, who is a huge part of my life and has given me daily hands-on experience with training, routines, and managing an active, social dog. I’m comfortable with structured walks, leash control, and adjusting pace based on each dog’s needs, whether that’s high-energy exercise or slower walks for older dogs. I handle feeding, crate routines, and basic commands, and I pay close attention to safety and behavior at all times. I aim to provide consistent, reliable care and keep owners updated so they feel confident their pets are well taken care of. I’m a law student with a flexible schedule outside of class, so I’m able to consistently fit both dog and cat care into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting throughout the week, with more flexibility on evenings and weekends. I already maintain a structured routine with my dog, Daisy, and my two cats, so incorporating additional walks, feeding, litter care, and playtime is something I do naturally and reliably. I prioritize a calm, safe, and structured environment for every pet, including both dogs and cats. I’m very attentive to routines, behavior, and any specific instructions from owners, such as feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, crate use, and medications if needed. With my own dog, Daisy, and my two cats, I have daily hands-on experience managing different energy levels and personalities. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on supervision, safety, and creating a comfortable environment where pets feel secure and well cared for.

About: Hi! I am a traveling healthcare professional working in Lexington looking to care for some fur babies! Depending on the distance I am available for overnight stays. I am available most weekends and some weekdays. I have 2 cats! I’ve had experience with dogs, cats, birds, small animals, fish, and some reptiles. I do work a full time job during the week. 12 hour shifts in Lexington. My weekends are available and weekdays will vary depending on my schedule. My cats are indoor. I do have one leash trained and we do take walks. One requires eye drops daily. 2 pet feedings per day as well.

About: Update: October 27th 2026 my partner would be the primary care taker of your fur babies due to my great grandmother having lung cancer I would be going back and forth to Ohio... God bless yall After experiencing the tragic loss of my own cats due to a negligent pet sitter, I became deeply committed to providing the highest level of care for all animals. That experience taught me how vital it is to entrust pets to someone who not only understands their needs but treats them like family. I specialize in senior pet care, offering compassionate support for aging pets, including administering medications, managing health conditions, and providing gentle, tailored exercise routines. I also have experience training puppies, helping them develop good behaviors early on and ensuring they have the structure they need to thrive. My focus is always on building trust and creating a safe, loving environment for your pets, so they feel comfortable and secure when you're away. Above all, I aim to offer peace of mind to pet owners, knowing their animals are in caring, responsible hands. Available almost anytime in Lexington and surrounding areas contact in advance is recommended but we can take last-minute calls depending on the situation and what not. Also I work with you budget! I have a park near me and I do take my own dog to the dog park every chance I get via Lyft and plenty of toys for your fur babies!

Been employed to take care of several other breeds/ages by family and friends! I am a college student and have a pretty flexible schedule besides a few spread out classes! I will do whatever I can to accommodate all pets needs! I love all things pets! I am willing to work with whatever their needs may be. Whether that be a high energy pup or a lazy one!
