Dog Walkers in Rocky Mount, VA

About: I have worked in a small animal hospital for 15 years. Did equine vet tech For 5 years before returning to small animal with limited exotic animal medicine. I have experience with cats dogs horses And most rodents and personally own a snake. Limited experience with birds and reptiles. I went to school at SUNY Delhi for vet tech and SUNY cobleskill for horse training. My own dog is hand raised so I am familiar with dog care at all life stages. My cat is adopted and thinks she is a dog! And one of my horses is geriatric so I understand all of her special needs. Total per count is 2 dogs a cat 2 horses and a snake. I can give medications, do first aid treatment, and assist with basic medical procedures. No such thing as too needy of an animal! I like fur babies more than I like people most days :) Insured through PCI for cats dogs and pocket pets! I work as a vet tech at an animal hospital so am primarily available for walk after 6 pm during most week days, and am available all day on weekends! I have a fenced in yard but my neighbors dogs do get loose and cause occasional issues so I don’t risk Saftey and don’t offer in home service just in case.I will happily bring your dog on adventures with my dogs if you like! Dog parks and hiking!

About: I've taken care of my family's and neighbors' cats, dogs, horses, turtles, fish, ponies, chickens, and even a joey once! I have learned to administer transdermal medications, use cat inhalers, and give medications by mouth. I have experience with senior dogs and cats as well as puppies and kittens. I love long walks and spending time outdoors, so if your dog has a lot of energy that’s fine with me! I also have gardening experience (my dad was an organic farmer and arborist) so your plants will be in good hands. I’m currently working part-time and mostly remotely, so I’ll have time to give your pet’s the attention and care they deserve. I freelance and have my own photography business so my schedule is flexible. I enjoy taking care of animals in their own home as I feel they take comfort and feel safe from a familiar setting which is important when there's a temporary change of caretaker.

About: My name is Lakita. I initially went to college in for marine biology and zoology before I changed my love of animals into a live in hobby. My children and I have 3 dogs, 2 cats, a hedgehog, fish, and soon a bearded dragon. I've had animals of my own since I was in elementary school of all kinds. I started house sitting and walking pets for my own parents and their friends in 11th grade and have continued if needed over the years. I have never had any difficulties or emergency during those times. Typically I work from home each week and occasionally leave on the weekends for sports activities. My after work activities are normal local or in Roanoke. I can easily crate a pet within my home away from the friendly animals in my home. I'm about to go to a home and provide any animals walks/breaks as needed and feed them.

About: Hello! I have taken care of dogs since I was born! I have had many dogs over my 20 years of experience, ranging from new born puppies, to older dogs. I also have cats, turtles, and have had fish over the years, as well. I have even helped my five year old pup deliver her own puppies! I adore animals and would love to play and look after them, I get attached needless to say😄. I would communicate and deliver beyond your expectations- not only because that’s what you want, but rather what I would love to do. It would be the highlight of my day and make my dull day into a fulfilling day! I am very compassionate when it comes to animals, although the extra money would be a highlight, regardless, I love animals! I make sure they get lots of loving, play time, food, water, and of course let’s not forget treats! I inspire them to their very own play day!

About: I have had a few dogs over my lifetime, I've loved them all no matter what. Whether the breed be big or small, they are all worthy of love and time. I go to school several days of the week, albeit in the mornings. I would love to take care of pets throught the day after classes and in free time. I take an immense amount of care of all pets in my home. For the cats: Neither of them are allowed outside due to safety concerns and they both have time to play, including toys and with each other. For dogs: With dogs I have owned I have taken care of them many ways. A big one is walks I gave, 30-45 minute walks with breaks! I also provide toys and enrichment when possible! I am currently looking further into what to do for some other fun tactics!

“Jessica has been a wonderful caretaker & companion to our sweet, old dogs. I would definitely recommend her to my family, friends, & co-workers for their pet care needs. Jessica was so nice to meet us prior to booking her services & sent pictures of her visit, as well as bring our sweet boys a treat or two. Our dogs usually have terrible separation anxiety & stop eating, yet with Jessica's help they didn't miss a meal, a belly rub, a treat, or a walk. Thank you so much Jessica for taking such good care of our furry family members! We appreciate you.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I can remember, there has never been a time I have not had a dog. I currently pet sit for my coworkers and family regularly. I love dogs of all sizes! I know how to care for dogs of all ages, from puppy to senior. Hello! I’m a full-time CNA and I’m looking to offer part-time pet care services Monday-Thursday. If you need someone reliable to look after your fur babies, I’d be happy to assist with any care your pets need, from feeding and walking to just providing companionship. Let’s chat about how I can help take care of your pets while you’re away! Caring for pets, whether they’re my own or someone else’s takes attention, routine, and understanding of each animal’s unique personality. Pets like people like consistency. I ensure I understand their regular feeding times, exercise habits. Understanding each animals play habits helps keep them entertained and happy. Documenting medical concerns and medication needed to ensure properly given, and monitor for any signs of illness. Pets, especially those away from their owners, can experience anxiety, some more than others! I engage with them to provide companionship such as playtime & cuddles! I keep an eye on body language and behavior to ensure they are comfortable. I keep open communication, providing updates and reporting any concerns. Trust is vital, and being responsive to a client’s pet care preferences or concerns is important. Ensure I have vet and contact information in the event of an emergency.

About: I have had the pleasure to take care of animals my whole life. After going to boot camp I realized how much animals actually give you peace of mind on a daily basis and I have taken care of neighbors animals and family ever since. I have plenty of space for animals of all sizes and a fenced in yard for dogs who need to run. I love to go on walks as I am very active and have to keep my 2 mile up always. I am also very patient for kitties who just want to lay around and sleep. If given the opportunity I would love to spend my time with the animals you love. I am in the national guard so I work 1 weekend a month and the rest is free! I am currently trying to make animal sitting an everyday thing so I can work out any times needed. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space inside as well. I have a doggy door for smaller dogs but I can let the bigger ones out just as easily. I do have a cat that is very friendly but she can go in my room if needed. There is room in my house to play and room for an animal to be alone if they wanted or needed

About: I am a previous Veterinary Assistant of 5 years who is now a SAHM. I would love to provide your fur baby with a pleasant time while you are away. I have knowledge to give medications/insulin if needed and know that some pets have specific diets and certain accommodations. I personally have 2 dogs and 3 cats myself so I can guarantee that they would be treated just as if they were my own animals. I am currently a SAHM so if the pet is animal friendly with cats and dogs they can stay here with me while away. If they are not then I am more than happy to load up my kiddo and come to your house to take care of them. However I can not do an overnight stay with them as my child needs to return home for bedtime in his crib. I can do drop in visits only or the pet can stay here at our home. If pets are in my home they must be cat friendly and dog friendly as I have 3 cats and 2 dogs. They will be leash walked and fed separately just as I do for my dogs. If they are a cat they will get their own litter box and space until they can get accustomed to everyone. I am also perfectly fine with going to your home where they are comfortable. I am fine with leash walking, cleaning litter boxes, feeding, administering medications, or really any special accommodations you may have just ask!

About: I am highly active, with a background in high-level sports. I workout weekly at a local gym, stay on my feet all day at work, and have a high energy dog myself. Every thing I do from sun up to sun down is focused on health and the growth of those around me. If there's an opportunity to train an animal, I tend to seize that moment. The more our pets understand us, the easier it is to live with them. My dog is a well-fed, exercised, played with PitBull/Boxer, if I neglect him, I lose my friend. I am currently a Full Time Manager at a Retail Store and I look forward to my free time outside of the job. I only work 8 hours a day (alternating between, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd shift), allowing me to offer my pet services early mornings, mid-day, or late nights (time slots may vary). I will take in account of all enviorments, dangers, and inconveniences while with your pet. We will avoid any problematic situations, respect all forecasted weather, and move as far from traffic as we can.

About: I have dog and house sat for many family members since I started driving at 17 and once I started babysitting a lot I dog sat for my families I babysit for! I have one standard Australian Shepherd, one mini Aussie Doodle, and two mini Australian shepherds that I love with now. Two and my dads and two are mine! So I am use to multiple dogs at a time haha. I do dog sit with my husband just because it makes me feel more comfortable being with him than by myself. We always do meet and greets with both of us present first before accepting any visits. I currently have a full time job so I am more suitable for families who are going out of town and want me to stay with their pups at their house! I am married and prefer to dog sit with my Husband if that is not something you are comfortable with, let’s chat about it! I love all kinds of animals and love to spoil them! I rather work with other peoples homes because that is what the pet is most used to and I don’t want to cause any unwanted stress to the pet!

About: Animals are my passion! I have experience with giving medication to animals, dealing with anxious animals, and other maintenance concerns regarding your furry friend(s). I will treat your pets and animals as if they were my own, so there is no need to look any further! :) I am currently going to school, but I am able to commute on days other than Monday and Wednesday during the fall 2025 semester. I would appreciate listing any medications that you animals may need and when those ought to be given to them. While I cannot provide my own home for your animals getaway, I would love to make your animals feel like they are not far from home while you're away. If you leave explicit instructions regarding what you would like me to do while in your residence, you can trust that they will be followed and respected.

About: I'm accustomed to feeding, walking, and giving oodles of love to cats and dogs after constantly growing up around animals. I've taken care of big and small dogs, including a range from chihuahuas to the biggest German shepherds I've ever seen. I am used to and comfortable with feeding/watering, walking, playing, cuddling, letting out, and bathing dogs and cats. I am more than happy to welcome your pet with open arms and tons of love! (Updated 9/12/24 6:00pm) Currently, I am available for house-sitting, check-ins and walks from 10am (EST) to 9pm, open all week aside from Friday — I am not available that day as of now. For house-sitting, I can arrive earlier or leave later if requested. I'm flexible and happy to communicate any schedule conflicts, special conditions, or different times. I like to introduce myself to an animal in an open, "hey, I'm here to be nice and friendly, maybe ask you to poop" kind of way, letting them sniff, touch, or watch me for as long as they need to in order to feel comfortable with me. I talk to pets in a calm, soft voice while I care for them, and follow their body language and any meows or barks that mean they may need something. I'm happy to follow any schedule they're accustomed to as well.
