Dog Walkers in Rustic, VA

“Victoria is amazing! She is extremely communicative and reliable in her services. I have a nervous pet and she went above and beyond to ensure that my dog and I were at ease. She was also able to help me in short notice. She is fantastic and I plan to use her again in the future :)”

About: From terrier temperaments to retriever antics; high prey drive; fear aggression or strong willed; I have the knowledge to care and work with your dog or equine/ livestock. Can handle puppies to geriatrics. Able to play/reward puppies to gentle care for elders. If I pet sit for you, I ensure your dog is walked and played with to release energy as well as taking care of your home; collecting mail/ packages and keeping everything tidy! FYI, I don’t walk 2 large dogs at once- only 1 at a time. Also, rover doesn’t allow me to differentiate service radius between house sitting and drop-ins; hence, if a drop-in request is beyond 13 miles, the mileage and gas isn’t compensated by my drop-in fee. I showed AKC confirmation from 1994-2014; managed a 50-dog kennel in the 90s; and also have 13 years as a legal secretary. In my youth, I showed horses and French lop rabbits. I showed, trained and bred top winning American Stafforshire Terriers and Chesapeake bay retrievers. I did 22 AKC champions. Available days and/or nights. I am retired and have time available. Happy to pop in for check ups, walks, feeding as well as spending nights and taking care of your home. I care for any pet in accordance to the guardians exact wishes. I’m experienced to know when an animal is unhappy, ill, needs to potty/rest/bored-play. My world revolves around making animals happy content

About: I have a few dogs at my house already but I've also been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I used to volunteer at rescues. My family also has many pets and farm animals I help take care of these include fish, hamsters, and budgies. I'm currently in college right now studying life science but I have plenty of free time. During that time I'd like to take care of animals. I like to take care of your pets however you like them taken care of. I'll wake up early for morning walks or stay up late to clean up after them.

“When I needed someone to walk my dog and feed him dinner on short notice, Jeffrey quickly responded to my request and confirmed their availability to help. He was friendly, easy to work with, and asked questions about my dog to ensure he would have a good experience. He shared a picture of our happy pup during his walk despite the rainy weather and asked where he could find a towel to dry him off before letting him back into the house. I'll definitely ask Jeffrey & Megan J. to care for our dog the next time he needs a walk or boarding. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve spent years caring for both my own dogs and cats as well as those of friends and family. From energetic puppies and curious kittens to senior pets needing extra care, I’ve gained hands on experience adapting to a wide range of personalities and needs. Whether it’s managing medication, keeping up with playtime, or offering quiet companionship, I’m dedicated to providing reliable and thoughtful care that helps pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. As a college student, my schedule varies throughout the year, and I sometimes travel in and out of town depending on the season. That said, I’m fully committed to pet care outside of my studies and offer a lot of flexibility to fit your pet’s needs. When I’m available, I prioritize consistent, reliable visits and make sure your pets get the attention and care they deserve. I have two cats and two dogs of my own, all with different ages and personalities. One of my cats has a medical condition that I’ve cared for and medicated, which has taught me how to spot potential health issues and respond quickly. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs and maintain clear communication with owners so you can trust your pet is in capable, caring hands.

About: I have taken care of our family dogs since I was a child. Additionally I have volunteered at shelters before. I have two dogs at home and love to play, walk and spend time with them. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! I am currently working full-time so evenings and weekends would be best. I can let your pup out in the evening and visit your home multiple times during the weekend to provide care to your pet. I am very detailed oriented. I will ensure that when I leave your home is locked and secure. I will communicate with you and send pictures of your companion!

About: I grew up riding horses, so I have always been in some kind of environment with animals. I have had cats and have taken care of goats as well as chickens and young animals. I currently have had two Golden Retrievers growing up. My past neighbors frequently had me dog sit their two dogs, one German Shepherd and one Shih Tzu, so I have had experience with big and small dogs. I know the basics (feeding, cleaning up after them, washing them, playing with them, etc.) and I also am very good at connecting with animals. Each animal has its own personality and I believe that if you treat an animal with care, they will return the love. I work remote full time, so I have time to spend with your furry friend! My mornings and evenings are free with flexibility in the middle of the day. On the day-to-day, we would take a morning and evening walk, and I would be able to take them out for potty breaks whenever needed.

“Wonderful!!!”

About: I will take care of as if my own. I tend to get attached and fall in Love fast with furry friends. It’s actually called baby kitty syndrome. Like when you want to squeeze them so hard you will hurt them. Lol I need something to do with myself and make a little extra cash. I’ve lived with dogs, cats, birds, fish and rabbits all my life. I rescued 2 dogs, brother and sister, from the woods when they were 6wks old. They made it to be 16. I do have issues with my left leg/foot and lower back. So I won’t be able to lift more than 25lb max. I’m new to the area so this will help me to get out of my house and do something. I actually watch pets to get my fur baby fix and for a place to stay, specially when I travel. And im usually solo on my travels I will stay in your home to make things as stress free as possible for your fur babies. I will follow all your instructions and love them as my own

About: I’ve grown up always surrounded by beloved pets from chihuahuas to hamsters to greats danes! From a young age, I knew how to be responsible for walking, feeding, and bathing our family’s pets. I also participated in Cat 4-H during middle school, which enabled me to learn a lot about caring for cats! I’ve petsit before for family friends and neighbors, including walking dogs, routinely feeding cats, and house sitting! I’m currently not working while studying, so I have extended availability for pet care. I can provide care every few hours if you are gone, or provide a consistent walking time every week if needed! I’m unfortunately unable to host pets in my home since I have two cats and two dogs who are a bit timid around other animals. But I’d happily spend time in any clients home with their pets and if someone would be comfortable I’m happy to drive dogs to trails or parks to run around and explore with me! As far as cats go, I would love to sit and socialize with your kitties for all the time they need and clean litter boxes routinely as I do at home! I’m flexible to different types of feeding schedules and would be happy to learn all about your beloved companions!
