Dog Walking Shenandoah

About: I’ve cared for animals at every stage of life, from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and support. I also have experience caring for special needs animals, including administering medications and following detailed care routines. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish, turtles, sugar gliders, and hedgehogs. I also have experience showing and training show dogs and showing rabbits, which taught me how to read animal behavior, build trust, and provide attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. When house sitting, I’m able to work from your home, so I can be present with your pet throughout the day and provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feedings, and companionship while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I also offer dog boarding and daycare in my home for dogs who are potty trained and comfortable living alongside cats. Because I work remotely, I’m home throughout most of the day and can provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care during their stay. While I occasionally have meetings or appointments, I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, potty schedules, exercise, and household routines. I understand the trust involved in having someone care for both your pets and your home, and I treat both with the utmost respect and care. For boarding and daycare in my home, I provide a comfortable, supervised environment where dogs can relax, play, and get plenty of attention throughout the day. I work from home, so I’m able to be present and provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. I do have cats in my home, so I only accept dogs who are comfortable and safe around cats and are fully potty trained. No matter where care takes place, I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs, prioritize their safety, and make sure they receive plenty of affection, companionship, and supervision.

About: Your pet will be cared for like one of the family. I have a big yard for them to play in and I have plenty of comfy spots for them to lay in, and I have plenty of toys for them to play with. Whether I come to your house or you come to my house your pet will be safe, sound, and happy! I will give extra attention to your pet if I am dog-walking or just visiting with your pet. I will provide pictures and videos for the owner's peace of mind. Seniors are welcome and encouraged to apply as they will be properly spoiled rotten. Puppies are welcome but prefer that they are potty trained first. Can work on basic commands with all. I am semi retired. I have time in my day to spoil the fur babies! My schedule can be flexible to meet the needs of both my fur babies and other fur babies visiting. All pets are in the pack. They go outside often and go on one to two walks a day. They can sleep on the furniture or beds. All are fed on a schedule and treats or bones are provided.

“We had a great experience with Paige! She was excellent at communicating before, during, and after every walk, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She always left thoughtful updates about what they worked on together and how things went. Our dog is a newly adopted shelter pup with lots of energy, and it was clear she genuinely cared about giving her the attention, structure, and care she needs. You can tell she truly loves dogs and takes her work seriously. We really appreciated her patience, reliability, and the effort she put into helping our rambunctious boy thrive. Highly recommend!”

About: What sets me apart is my patience, adaptability, and genuine understanding that every animal is different. I have hands-on experience with anxious, reactive, high prey drive, and hard-to-motivate dogs, including dogs who are fearful, overstimulated, or simply uninterested in treats or traditional approaches. I’m open-minded about training and behavior support, and I believe success comes from learning the individual dog in front of you rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all method. My professional background in healthcare and hospitality shaped how I care for both people and animals: with attentiveness, empathy, calm communication, and reliability. To me, pet care is an extension of that work. Animals deserve the same patience, understanding, and compassion we offer our human loved ones — honestly, maybe even more. My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to be highly available and adaptable to both you and your pets’ needs. I’m taking this time to intentionally explore my next professional chapter, and in the meantime, I’m genuinely excited to spend more time doing something I love: caring for animals. Whether your pet needs consistency, patience, extra attention, or just a reliable human while you’re away, I’m happy to provide thoughtful, dependable care. I believe pets feel safest when their routines, boundaries, and personalities are respected. I prioritize calm, attentive, and reliable care while making sure animals feel secure and comfortable in their environment. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, energy levels, and any medical or behavioral needs so I can adapt my approach to each individual animal. I’m experienced with anxious, reactive, and sensitive pets, so safety during walks, introductions, feeding, and play is always a top priority. I’m also careful about doors, leashes, harnesses, triggers, medications, and maintaining the routines owners already have in place. In a client’s home, I treat both the space and the animals with respect and professionalism. I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and entering your home, so I value communication, dependability, cleanliness, and consistency just as much as affection and fun.

“Stephanie has been very helpful with last minute requests for my pup!”

“Stephany walked my dog Delilah and she was great. She was prompt, efficient, fairly priced and most important very caring when it came to the care of my doggo. She understands that my dog is a big part of my life and she treated her like she was family. She gave great reports about Delilah's walks and if she had fun and made sure to let me know if she went to the restroom. If I need a walker again I will surely pick her.”

“Brittini was great! I needed someone to walk my dog in the middle of the day during the week for two weeks. She was on time, took care of my dog as if she were her own, and left detailed notes and pictures after each walk. I would definitely recommend her for walks and drop in visits.”

About: Hi, I've had animals as long as I remember. When I was little I've taken care of stray dogs, hurt pigeons, had many hamsters, rode horses. Had cats for over 30 years. 2 dogs that we had since puppihood that's now 5 and 7 years old that my husband will take care of while I am sitting your pet Me and my husband own a business, but It requires my presence only few hours in a week, so it leaves a lot of time on my hands. And if needed be he is able to do it by himself I will take care of your dog based on their needs and your instructions. I am very detailed oriented. Have no issue if your dog needs medication that's required to be given at a specific time. I can feed raw or home cooked food as that's what my dogs eat

About: I always have had a dog - since I was really young. I love all dogs and think they were put on earth to make us humans realize what love really is! ;-) I have two kids, 12 and 14 years old that have grown up with dogs and loves them all! I also have a 11 year old dog that loves dogs too named Walter! We also have a 13 year old rescue named Earl. We love dogs so much!! We will love your dog as much as you do!! UPDATE! We got a third dog to add to our home during COVID. He is such a joy and even though he is little - he acts like he is big! I am a stay at home mom that is home most of the time... We love walking our dog and taking him to the dog park! We have a fenced in yard and a dog area for my pooch and hopefully yours! You will be able to feel comfort knowing your dog is having fun!

About: I've always loved taking care of animals. They deserve love too, I would rather spend the whole day taking care of an animal than be out on the streets wasting life and energy. Pet care would fit great in my daily or weekly routine easily because I have a flexible schedule. If needed I can work remotely or work with my schedule so I have open availability to care for your pet. My yard is fenced so your pet will be safe and has enough room to run around outside and inside . There are water bowls all over the house and yard to keep pets hydrated. When caring for your pet at your house I will be sure to treat it with respect and be sure to take good care of your pet and follow the instructions you give me .
