Dog Walking Shockoe Slip

“Emily was absolutely amazing! She was great at communicating, and even helped out with some Doug chores after a chaotic morning for my boyfriend and me! As a first time Rover-user, Emily made me feel at ease with all of the pictures she shared of Doug! Doug absolutely LOVED his walks and would be passed out whenever I got home. Whenever we need a dog walker, Emily will definitely be top of our list!”

About: I’ve been a pet owner and animal lover across my whole life. I have twenty years of experience, five of them professionally at Holiday Barn! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule, so fitting your pet care needs into my weekly routine is a breeze and a pleasure! It’s something I truly look forward to. I’m well educated on animal behavior and the dynamics to keep in mind when entering an animal’s home as a guest. I know how to foster a safe and respectful environment so that we can have a great time together.

About: I have had animals my entire life. I love taking care of them and filling their lives with lots of pets and love. I currently have 3 dogs, ranging in ages 1-12. I have experience with reactive dogs, puppies, cats, and senior dogs. Excited to take care of your fur baby I’m currently a student at Virginia Commonwealth University. I’m currently on summer break so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. It is very important to me that all animals are safe and well cared for. I will follow all your instructions including walking and feeding schedule, as well as giving medication timely “ if applicable”.

“Maria and Luis were so kind. Great communication, very accomodating to my last-second changes, and my dogs love their new friends. I would book with them again- highly recommend Maria and Luis!”

“We couldn’t recommend Fran enough! She was extremely prompt and communicative throughout the entire process and our pup loved being walked by her. We also really appreciated the photos/videos of each walk and the thorough recaps afterward. When we need dog services again we won’t hesitate to reach out because we know our pup is in good hands. Thanks Fran!”

About: I’ve been dog-sitting for about 5 years now. I’ve mainly taken care of small to medium sized dogs but I’m open to looking after larger dogs as well. I am very reliable and have a lot of energy to keep your dog entertained throughout the day. I love going for walks and and going to dog parks if allowed by the owner. I live in an apartment and it’s dog-friend and the apartment has a dog area where they can relieve themselves. I live in a studio apartment but there’s plenty of open space where your pup can lounge around. I’m very attentive of your dogs needs, so I stay on top of taking them out for walks and making sure their water bowl is kept full and following their feeding schedule. Also open to grooming and showering your dog, especially if they are staying overnight with me. If your pup is energetic and loves to play we will be a great match!!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve been caring for pets since I was a young child. I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your pets, and I’m committed to giving them the same love, attention, and care I would give my own. I love going on walks, playing, and creating a fun, comfortable environment where pets feel happy and loved. I work a hybrid job which gives me the flexibility to add this job to my daily routine. I am able to work with your schedule/needs. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in yours, I always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to their usual routines—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions—so they feel secure and stress-free. In my home, pets have a cozy, clean space with plenty of attention and affection. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with respect and make sure your pet gets the same level of care they’re used to, with lots of love and companionship while you're away.

About: I have been taking care of pets professionally for 8 years and have been taking care of my own personal pets for 15 years. I love being outside and I love playing and spending time caring for animals of all kinds. I know some very good walking paths and parks in the area. I have a very flexible schedule and can spend as much time as is needed with the dogs and other animals. I have pet sat for many different kinds of animals and many breeds of dogs. I have experience both pet sitting where I need to stay in the house overnight and pet sitting where I just need to stop by throughout the day. I have a lot of experience dog walking in the area. I have also watched numerous cats and have had cats of my own. I am currently working part time so I have ample daytime and evening availability for pet care most days of the week and over holidays. I follow directions explicitly to ensure the best care for all pets I am watching. I have experience safely walking and playing with pets individually or together.
