Dog Walking Shawsville

About: Hi there! My name is Lacy, I've taken care of all different shapes and sizes of pets since I was very young. I worked at a doggy day care for a year, as well as a dog walking company in Los Angeles where I took 5-6 dogs at a time for walks/hikes. I have some experience with simple obedience training, such as proper leash manners and basic commands like sit, stay, wait & come. I will be happy to take your dogs on walks or hikes, I'm also happy to take care of cats, birds, rabbits, hamsters, reptiles, etc. Let me know if I can help! Thanks! I currently work part time and I’m in my third semester of nursing school, currently taking online classes. My schedule varies from month to month but I will gladly help care for your fur babies whenever I can! My current living situation isn’t set up for me to keep pets at my home but I would love to take care of them in their own environment where they already feel comfortable and are familiar with the area!

“First time meeting Taylor. What a sweetheart. Tucker took to her right away. Going to schedule future visits for sure! Thanks Taylor. A++++”

“Peyton arrived on time and my dog got along fine with her on their first walk together. My dog is still learning leash training and Peyton had no problem dealing with her pulling. It's very apparent that Peyton has had a lot of experience with dogs.”

About: As of 8/2025: My business is insured by Pet Care Insurance (PCI) for your peace of mind. Nice to meet you! I’m Jamie and I’m a cat dad and vet student here at Virginia Tech. I have lifelong experience caring for animals - I grew up with five cats, two Guinea pigs, and four birds! Petsitting for my neighbor’s dogs was my very first job as a kid and I have been doing it for friends, family, and coworkers ever since. I have experience caring for elderly and disabled animals, those with particular feeding schedules or allergies, and am comfortable administering medications for your pets as needed. I have cared for everything from dogs and cats to ferrets, rabbits, and even chickens. Let’s connect so we can talk about your goals for your pets’ wellness and comfort when you’re away, and how I can help you achieve them. I have an extremely flexible academic schedule and a flexible employment schedule which makes petsitting a breeze. Shoot me a message so I can get you on my calendar! My animals are fully vaccinated and on monthly preventatives for your pets’ wellness as much as mine. Don’t worry, I make sure to send lots of pictures and updates along the way! :)

About: Grown up with dogs my entire life! Had 5 dogs at one time at one point. Owned and comfortable with breeds such as Rottweiler, Golden Retriever, Dachshund, Husky, and more! Free most days as I have breaks in the middle of the day between classes almost every day! Also comfortable pet/house-sitting if we discuss and agree on details/expectations prior! I’ve always treated all pets, most of all dogs a part of the family, both my own and my friends and families pets. I’d treat your dog like I was watching your child because I know that that’s exactly how he or she feels to you!

“Katie has been great with Indie, communicates very well, and is on time and flexible with our dynamic schedule needs so we are thankful to have found her and plan on making her our regular walker for the foreseeable future.”

About: I have worked at a humane society shelter as a volunteer for years in Michigan. I have fostered animals as well as helped dogs and cats give birth. I have experience with pet sitting and taking care of pets. I believe pets are our children. I have open flexibility and can give many references on how trust worthy i am as i owned a cleaning business here in nrv for 10 plus years licensed and insured. While at a clients home I will make sure the home stays cleaned up from the pet and goes on its normal scheduled walks and or care. While the pet is at my home it will have its own personal area that is kept well and it won't interact with our cats. Walks and playtime will be included.

About: Hi there! My name is Kaitlyn and I have experience with everything from horses, to wolf-dogs, down to cockatoos and fish! I live a pretty active lifestyle, and love taking my guy out for runs and adventuring/hiking around the area. I would love to go exploring with your pups! I absolutely adore animals and treat them all with the utmost respect. I have experience with both puppies as well as senior dogs and have been around animals all my life. I started young with family pets and have recently within the past 4 years gotten one of my own! I own a Husky, German Shepherd/Malamute who's my big ole baby Potato! He's absolutely my whole life and if you can imagine it wasn't easy finding someone who was able to watch him without the help of Rover, which is why I wanted to also contribute and try and help others out because it's saved me in a bind or two! I don't mind larger dogs or high energy as my guy is the same way! I'd love to meet you and your pup, what girl can resist a couple of good boys?! I currently work part time with my grandparents taking care of them in their golden years so my hours are flexible and I’m happy to help out whenever I can, and will guarantee you a quick response! I currently do not offer care in my home, however, I would love to come to yours! I am very conscious of other people's homes and how comfortable your pets will be in the safety of their own space!

About: I have over 500 hours of dog watching and raising experience (outside of my own pets) and spent over 800 hours volunteering cat care for kittens and disabled kitties I am a grad student with a totally flexible schedule and can work from home easily if needed! I will be able to incorporate your pet into my routine seamlessly. I can also fully care for your pet in their own home. I can be there often if needed or stop by for occasional visits, depending on your needs. I promise to always leave your home better than I found it! I can water plants, harvest from a garden, or whatever you need while I am caring for your furry friend.

About: Hello! My name is Hayley and I am an animal lover of all kinds. I had a chihuahua for 14.5 years until I had to say goodbye to him in august of 2024. Since then I have found joy in helping others take care of their furry family members. My Pedro was special needs so I am comfortable giving meds or helping with disabled animals as well. I promise to take care of your babies just like they are my own! Same day bookings and short notice bookings will be dependent on my full time work schedule as I work 3 twelve hour night shifts a week but please always reach out as I may be available! I am also willing to pet sitting for other animals like chickens, hedgehogs, etc. Just ask!! I am a full time night shift nurse so my schedule is crazy but allows me to spend the days with your pet. I am also able to get several days in a row off and spend 24/7 with your pet, if scheduled within enough time! If selected, I would treat your baby as if they are my own and would go above abd beyond in caring for them. I am unable to bring pets to my home but am more than happy to care for them in the comfort of their own homes.

About: My experience comes from caring for my own dog and my sister’s dog. I’m comfortable with frequent walks and potty breaks, including for dogs still working on house training. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, helping with bathing and basic grooming, administering routine medication, and measuring meals to follow specific dietary needs. I carefully follow owners’ instructions and am patient and happy to adapt to each dog’s routine, whether they enjoy outdoor time or prefer a slower pace. I’m a student with classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Most of my other commitments are remote, apart from occasional meetings, giving me flexibility around my classes. For boarding and overnight stays, I’m available Monday after 7:30 PM through Tuesday, as well as Saturdays and Sundays. For walks, drop-in visits, and longer care sessions, I’m available Tuesdays, Thursdays, Friday after 4:30 PN, and weekends. During longer stays, I can keep your pet company while completing schoolwork between care tasks. We’ll confirm your pet’s needs and my availability before booking. I’ll take time to learn your pet’s routine, behavior, and care needs before booking. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, and any household rules. I’ll keep dogs leashed on walks, check that doors and gates are secure, and send updates and photos. We’ll also discuss how long your pet can comfortably be alone to make sure my schedule is a good fit. For boarding, I live in an apartment with my own room and bathroom, and big living room. I also have a pool and nice area to have walks! I will spend a lot of time giving walks and staying outside if needed!

I have experience as a dog walker for different friends and family. I'm also an experienced Wag Walker. I have also taken care of friend's dogs at home. Dogs have been an integral part of my life since I was born. I want to take this opportunity to meet more dogs and help busy owners. I have a very flexible schedule since I do all of my work remotely. I set my own schedule so I can provide dog care anytime you need it. I am really excited to meet your furry friend! I am flexible working remotely being able to take care of whatever needs done. I will do what is needed to be done to make it feel like you haven't left your furry friend. I treat them like they're my own so they don't feel alienated. My main goal os yo make turm feel safe like you never left! Also happy to take care of your home as an experienced home owner. I know all the ins and outs that are necessary for watching over a home and a let.

About: I’ve cared for animals, dogs and cats, since childhood. I’m very comfortable around animals, and love helping them get the care and attention they need. I am a stay at home mom, so this fits into an already open schedule. I’m available mornings and afternoons with my son joining me. I treat every animal with respect and love. I look to the owner for specific desires of care since it is your pet I’m watching!

“Great service to Orion”

My dedication to tailoring care to each dog’s unique needs is unmatched - no paw left behind! With me, your furry friend will receive the utmost love and care.

“Madison took care of both of our dogs while we were staying at Claytor Lake State Park. She came over twice during the day and even did a meet and greet the night before. She loves dogs and took great care of our Penny and Lucy. We would definitely use her again and would recommend her to anybody. One of our dogs is human-shy and she warmed up right away to Madison!”
