Dog Walkers in Smithfield, VA

About: I started out with cats. I've taken care of cats since I was three years old. I wasn't able to get any experience with dogs until more recently, but we've kept friends' dogs in our homes periodically over the past six years and I care for my own sweet pup, Brownie, who has been with us for two years after we pulled her from an abusive situation I'm self-employed and I set my own hours, so my schedule is quite flexible! I only need to be sure to have the mornings to get my kids to school and the afternoons to get them home. I promise to have the utmost respect for your home and the way you want things done. I want to do whatever will make you and your precious pup most comfortable.

“Anna is amazing! I am a repeat customer and Annas service helps out a lot by being able to walk my German Shepherd puppy daily while I am at work. He loves Anna and gets so excited when she comes to take him for his walks.”

“Great with Zulu! Nadia has been absolutely wonderful walking our standard poodle, Zulu. She keeps a great pace and covers a solid distance on every walk—which is exactly what Zulu needs to stay healthy and happy. You can tell she truly enjoys being with dogs, and Zulu always comes back from their outings relaxed and content. Nadia is punctual, professional, and communicative. Highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who treats your dog like their own and actually gets them moving!”

About: Experience: I have 8 years of pet experience and I have 3 fur babies of my own. I have 2 cats: Big Kitty and Fetty. Big Kitty is 8 years old and I got her in 2017 from my next door neighbor. She is your typical skittish cat but when she warms up, she is super sweet and loves to lay on your chest and purr like an engine. Fetty is 5 years old and I got her in 2020 from the Humane Society. She is very friendly and vocal. She loves her pets but does not cuddle nor like being picked up. Caezar is my German Shepard, Terrier and Lab mix. I got him in 2024 from the Animal Shelter. He is a little over a year old and is very smart. He knows a lot of different commands and enjoys a lot of play time. He is a medium energy dog and can be a little overwhelming but he loves to go on walks, runs and swimming. He is the biggest sweetheart ever. He is my best friend. All my fur babies are up to date on shots and go to the vet for their annual exam. I don’t hesitate to call or go to the vet when I notice something is off with my fur babies. I would say I’m a very strict pet owner but I know how to let loose and have some fun with my fur babies. Schedule: I am a stay at home Military spouse. I do have a dog who is a little over a year old but he is potty and crated trained. Safety, trust & environment: I have mentioned above that I am a strict pet owner.

About: Hi, my name is Lily Fox. I am an animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have owned cats since I can remember, and I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 13. Over the years, I’ve learned how to tailor my care for each pet’s unique personality and needs. I am a big fan of both cozy cuddling on the couch and a playful game of catch in the yard. Those close to me say I am attentive, caring, and detail-oriented. My goal is to utilize these skills with every pet I care for. I take pride in making sure every need is met enjoyably for both me and the animals. Plus, I love to go on adventures and make the most of each day, so your pet will never be bored or overlooked. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or a quick check-in, you can trust me to treat your pets like my own. As a college student with a flexible class schedule and a part-time job, I’ve practiced how to manage my time well and focus on prioritizing what is important, like giving pets the attention they deserve. Depending on the day, I am available for morning walks, midday check-ins, and/or evening visits. I can build my schedule around each pet’s needs. Caring for animals is something I genuinely look forward to, and I treat every visit as a break from a busy work life. I primarily offer walks and check-ins at any time of the day between 8 am-9 pm. I only offer overnight stays if I have cared for your pet beforehand. During visits, I make sure pets are fed on time, receive fresh water, enjoy some playtime/exercise, and have a chance to relieve themselves. I also handle any clean-up, litter scooping, or medication needs as instructed. I like to stick to a routine, this way, everything runs smoothly and enjoyably. I’m naturally attentive and detail-oriented. This allows me to treat each visit with care, so I can notice any changes in behavior, health, or energy. I can also send regular updates and photos if requested.

About: Since the age of 10, I've been immersed in the world of pet care, thanks to my mother who ran a boarding home for dogs and cats. Growing up surrounded by animals, I developed a deep bond with them and a strong commitment to their well-being.

As a part-time pet caretaker, I offer flexible availability to accommodate the needs of both pets and their owners. With ample time on weekdays and weekends, I provide reliable boarding services for furry friends, ensuring they receive dedicated care and attention. My commitment to pet welfare extends beyond just a job, as I prioritize creating a comfortable and nurturing environment for every animal under my care. With a spacious backyard for pups to roam freely and an array of cat toys and trees, I offer a safe and stimulating environment for all furry companions. Whether your pets enjoy outdoor adventures or prefer cozy indoor retreats, they'll find ample space to thrive under my care. Additionally, I cater to the needs of smaller animals, ensuring they have plenty of room to explore and play in a nurturing setting. Your pets will feel right at home with me, receiving the attention, space, and amenities they need for a happy and fulfilling stay.

About: Hi! I am here simply because I love dogs, and I wanted to earn some money for my school expenses. My first experience with dogs was when I first came back to the US, and my family had a lovely chihuahua named Olga. She was sweet, kind, patient and calm, she was already perfect, so I never really got any experience with handling, or dealing with naughty dogs. There was another do, Ginger, and she’s total goofball, our source of laughter. The years living with them made me realize how much I loved dogs, and how much I needed them in my life. A few years after I got my first puppy, a GSD (DDR) named Leona, I got her when she was 8 weeks old, and we lived together until she was 2. Although she was a handful for a first time dog owner, I loved her wholeheartedly and trained her to do many tricks, and she has become more mature and calm through the training. Unfortunately, we had to send her to a new home due to we were moving, and the new house didn’t allow pets. I really missed the days where I could just go to a dog and hug them, cuddle with them, and leave all my worries and sadness behind. I love all kinds of dogs. Everytime I see a dog on the street, I get excited and can’t help but smile. I’ve always wanted to be a dog sitter, ever since I could remember, but I never took the act. Now that I’m homeschooled, I have plenty of time on my schedule. Please consider me when you are in need for help taking care of your dog, and I will do my best to serve you!
