Dog Walking Richmond

About: I absolutely love spending time with dogs and making sure they get the exercise and affection they need while you're busy! From refreshing neighborhood walks to cozy backyard playtime and feeding, I make sure your pup's routine never misses a beat. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, and I have excellent availability throughout the week for walks and drop-in visits. I am reliable, punctual, and ready to help. I focus heavily on building a secure, stress-free experience for your pets. In your home, I ensure your pup or cat stays safely on their comfortable turf, following their exact feeding, potty, and exercise protocols. I am highly observant and proactive, ensuring that potential hazards are avoided during neighborhood walks and that your home is kept completely secure. Clear, honest communication and real-time photo updates are a standard part of how I build trust with every client.

“Eric walked my fur babies during my long shifts. Always worked with my schedule. And did great with my rescue that is super fearful of men typically! Highly recommend!”

Christin B.

“Kai was amazing with Wednesday and made it a lot easier for me to relax and not worry about my fur baby while I am away! They were communicative and thoughtful throughout the whole process.”

Bjanikka B.

“Can't thank you enough for your visit with my girls. Much appreciated”

“Jordan took really good care of our dog. My dog has a missing toe and needs to wear a boot and Jordan was very careful about that before he took him on a nice neighborhood walk.”

Nancy H.

“Kira is so communicative and easy to work with! She’s very through in the “rover cards” and I have so much peace of mind knowing my pup is being cared for by her.”

Zoe K.

“Jenni is great. She has helped us get our high energy dog out for walks while we are at work. She is patient with our little pup, and he always seems happy on days they walk. She always takes great pictures of our dog, and is very communicative about what is going on with our dog. Would definitely recommend her.”

Madeline K.

“Lyle was amazing, came through in a pinch and was very consistent, communicative, and reliable over the week of daily walks we needed him. Definitely will rebook! He took great care of my dog, sent pics, and gave honest feedback.”

Kathy J.

“Christopher did a great job I would hire him again and again. I can tell when my dog has done a brisk walk or has had a stroll. Each time Christopher walked my dog she was tuckered out in the evening. He went above and beyond. Christopher had great communication and came on time.”

About: In 2023, I was inspired to start volunteering at the Oregon Humane Society a few months after my dog Sully passed away. I am a dog walker and kennel buddy at OHS. I also take the high energy dogs out to the chip yards to get more play time outdoors at the shelter. I also have some experience taking care of my friends’ cats. They may have different needs as dogs, however, all animals deserve just as much love! I hope to meet and take care of your pets as I do see them as family! :) I am currently available after 2:30pm on the days that I work part-time and I am flexible on my days off. I am also happy to take care of your pets during the holidays or when you go on vacation! Although I am unable to board your pets, I can assure you that I have respect for other people’s living spaces. I have several Airbnb reviews that have proven my cleanliness and trust in hosts’ homes.

“Teryx loves Karly and her dog Nova. Karly has always been very dependable and gives us pertinent updates on Teryx’s behavior. We trust that she deeply cares for our dog and understands our needs as dog owners, too. We are lucky to have Karly to be around our dog regularly.”

“Ivory goes above and beyond to give our pups a great walk and attention while we are at work. Both dogs happy and tired in the evening. Ivory is quick to communicate with us and takes great pictures of dogs each walk. We highly recommend Ivory!”

“Charlene is very flexible and sweet with my old man . Thank you for helping us out ! I have booked Charlene multiple times and will do so as long as I can :)”

About: I've loved animals ever since I was a small kid. I grew up raising 3 rats, 3 cats, and a Great Pyrenees. I have experience walking neighborhood dogs, as well as taking care of hamsters and cats while their owners were on vacation. I currently have no pets due to my building's rules, so I'd take any excuse to help take care of a fluffy creature. Currently working a reduced amount with most of it being from home, so I have a lot of availability to care for your pets. Free/flexible most hours, besides evening on the weekends(and even then, I could potentially work something out with enough time). I enjoy long walks and exercise, and love playing with animals, so I'm your guy if your dog needs a long walk or an hour of nothing but fetch. I grew up walking a stubborn 100+ lb. dog, so I know how to control them if they get a little too excited sometimes.

“Came for meet and greet. The pups liked her-very conscientious!”

Beverly W.

“Desiré is amazing!! She has been so awesome with my puppy and keeps me updated on the walks at all times and sends great pictures to reassure that my dog is being cared for!”

Gabrielle M.

“Ursula was great! She was super quick to respond, took the time to do a meet&greet, asked great questions, and sent a lot of cute photos + a detailed report card from her walk with Cujo. Would absolutely recommend her and book with her again - thank you, Ursula!”

Erika M.

“Angela did a great job taking care of my pup! They walked and played in the yard and she took some beautiful pictures to share with me. She was very communicative and arrived on time both days. I'd recommend her without reservation!”

Adrienne D.

“Krista is terrific! She was on time and took care of our dog beautifully. She sent pics - went above and beyond”

About: Hello! I'm a very conscientious and loving pet walker/drop-in sitter who will go above and beyond to make sure your four-legged family member feels safe and loved. I've had dogs and cats my whole life (varying sizes/breeds), and have had a range of experiences with them, including handling medical conditions, training, and making sure they get enough exercise. I also used to work at a pet retail store for multiple years and have gained a wealth of experience in how best to care for pets. I would love to help give your pet some love and care while you're away! I'm happy to give couch cuddles, play time, walks, and basic needs. I look forward to taking care of your pet and giving them great care! I have a flexible remote work schedule most days, so my availability for sitting visits is pretty open! I am available for drop-in visits and walks. When visiting a pet in your home, I am very respectful of your space and focus on making sure your pet is taken care of. I check all food and water bowls, making sure they’re clean, making sure the environment is still safe how you left it, and giving them any needed enrichment like play time, cuddles, walks, etc that you’ve outlined.
