Dog Walkers in Spencer, VA

“Alex is great!!!”

Misty S.

About: I'm accustomed to feeding, walking, and giving oodles of love to cats and dogs after constantly growing up around animals. I've taken care of big and small dogs, including a range from chihuahuas to the biggest German shepherds I've ever seen. I am used to and comfortable with feeding/watering, walking, playing, cuddling, letting out, and bathing dogs and cats. I am more than happy to welcome your pet with open arms and tons of love! (Updated 9/12/24 6:00pm) Currently, I am available for house-sitting, check-ins and walks from 10am (EST) to 9pm, open all week aside from Friday — I am not available that day as of now. For house-sitting, I can arrive earlier or leave later if requested. I'm flexible and happy to communicate any schedule conflicts, special conditions, or different times. I like to introduce myself to an animal in an open, "hey, I'm here to be nice and friendly, maybe ask you to poop" kind of way, letting them sniff, touch, or watch me for as long as they need to in order to feel comfortable with me. I talk to pets in a calm, soft voice while I care for them, and follow their body language and any meows or barks that mean they may need something. I'm happy to follow any schedule they're accustomed to as well.

About: I am an experienced pet sitter and advocate for those animals who cannot advocate for themselves. I've taken care of all the pets in my personal life for family and friends since I was a child and have been taking care of everyone else's pets and farm animals since I was 18 years old. Some of my responsibilities have been working with horses, cows, pigs, chickens and of course Cats and dogs. I had experience with exotics such as geckos and snakes. As you can see, I have had experience with the smallest to the largest animals and look forward to meeting and taking care of your pets and/or farm animals. I am a full-time pet and farm animal caretaker and have no scheduling issues to work around. I make the safety and wellbeing of your pets my priority. I take care of your pets in their environment and follow care instructions laid out for them by your specific preferences. I do not take pets to my home due to the stress it puts on your pets and mine but am happy to watch them in your home.

About: I have taken care of big and small dogs since I can remember. I love meeting new animals and making them feel safe and happy! I am extremely respectful of peoples space and am always early to everything! I have experience giving animals medications as well as dealing with food allergies. I also have experience with senior animals. My parents chihuahua is 20 years old and is also blind/deaf and I am always their first call for a sitter! I have two dogs of my own and they are my babies! I can’t wait to meet yours! I currently work at a Taco Bell as a General Manager. I make my own schedule so I will be able to squeeze in clients last minute! I work 8-10hrs a day so it will be no problem for me to be able to visit with your pups before and after my shifts! I am a master at following directions! I can follow any list of directions you would like followed while i am house sitting/pet sitting! I have experience crating animals & also walking on a leash!

About: I am a mother of three children, plus a fur baby of my own, looking to share my love with some fur-babies while my children are away at school. I have been around animals all my life, both cats and dogs. Always kept side work doing some pet sitting for family and friends and would like to do it more when I can to help out others. Instead of your pets having to go to a kennel boarding facility I gladly bring them into my home & treat them as family. I really enjoy the connections we can share with animals. I know it's hard having to go to work, vacation or away from home while having to leave your pets behind. If your pet needs any special training I am willing to continue it so there is no confusion for your pet. Feel free to reach out to me. I'd love to plan a Meet & Greet first and than get started on any servies you may need. I work from home on my own schedule while my kids are at school so I am always around to give plenty of attention to your fur-baby. Your pet will become a part of the family while in my home. I am very strick on only one thing, no table foods. I stick to keeping the dogs on their normal diet. Daily exercise will be provided unless told otherwise due to health issues

About: @ateamdogcare I have been using rover for 6 years now. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats who have been with the dogs since they were 3 weeks old. We live on 2 acres with a great fenced in yard. We love hosting pets and will treat them like our own. Im always home so let’s can stay on their normal schedules and have someone around while you’re gone. Feel free to message me with any questions! I also have experience with medications, including injectable ones. When your pup comes to stay with us we ask that you bring; their food, treats, favorite toys/bones, bed or blanket, crate (if you use one), bowls, and a leash. Or anything that might make your dogs stay easier! :)

About: I am a previous Veterinary Assistant of 5 years who is now a SAHM. I would love to provide your fur baby with a pleasant time while you are away. I have knowledge to give medications/insulin if needed and know that some pets have specific diets and certain accommodations. I personally have 2 dogs and 3 cats myself so I can guarantee that they would be treated just as if they were my own animals. I am currently a SAHM so if the pet is animal friendly with cats and dogs they can stay here with me while away. If they are not then I am more than happy to load up my kiddo and come to your house to take care of them. However I can not do an overnight stay with them as my child needs to return home for bedtime in his crib. I can do drop in visits only or the pet can stay here at our home. If pets are in my home they must be cat friendly and dog friendly as I have 3 cats and 2 dogs. They will be leash walked and fed separately just as I do for my dogs. If they are a cat they will get their own litter box and space until they can get accustomed to everyone. I am also perfectly fine with going to your home where they are comfortable. I am fine with leash walking, cleaning litter boxes, feeding, administering medications, or really any special accommodations you may have just ask!

“Katie was amazing with our dogs. She showed up right on time - as scheduled - and we received daily updates/pics. We came home to happy & relaxed pups. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”

About: I love all animals and have their health and well-being as priorities. No such thing as a bad animal. Each dog/cat has it's own special personality and it's fun to see their antics. Most importantly, it's essential that the care giver is loving and patient. Over the years I've had many pets and never had feelings of regret. I have learned some special tricks in keeping my home from smelling like a kennel. My pets are friendly and non destructive. Repetition and patience is something I've learned that works on pets and children. All my kids are out on their own and all have pets .I've love animals and they certainly seem to like me as well. I can't think of any animal I've met and didn't like I am flexible and and can adjust timing to customize care for the pets. I can respond in a timely manner to unexpected situation as needed I prefer to care for pets in their own environment. It's generally less stressful for them to be around the familiar environment and being treated gently

About: I have 10+ years of experience caring for not only my own fur babies, but others too. Avid animal lover and take in the consideration of each pets care and welfare. I currently work full-time from home, so I can do early morning check-ins and after work. Can make a special mid-day trip if needed. Available on weekends :) Comfortable with walking, crating, and giving normal love/affection to any animal. Can administer medication if needed and will provide any and all updates to ensure you are up to date on your babies care!

About: My family farm is the Madd Hatchery in Hubert. It consists of approx. 40+ chickens, 3 dogs, 2 goats, 5 rabbits, and 10 indoor and/or barn felines. I was raised with animals - young, old, and ill or disabled. We adore the "misunderstood." Over a decade ago, I began my own first business - as an Administrative/Personal Assistant & Pet Caregiver. I solely did this from 2011 to 2017 while I was in school. From Kittens to Chickens is my pet care business now. Don't hesitate to reach out on Rover, Wag!, Facebook, Instagram, or my business email upon request. I am currently employed part time but my schedule is Flexible. I would really like to build a strong rapport and become a Pet Caregiver full-time again. I do not service other animals in my own home as I currently share a small space with other people and their dogs. Owners must provide sufficient supplies to keep everyone safe including Crates, Muzzles, etc. I do not find it wise to have so many animals in and out of my home with the main pets I reside with.

“Quick to respond and seems super sweet I can’t wait for my dog to meet her!”

About: Hello! I have taken care of dogs since I was born! I have had many dogs over my 20 years of experience, ranging from new born puppies, to older dogs. I also have cats, turtles, and have had fish over the years, as well. I have even helped my five year old pup deliver her own puppies! I adore animals and would love to play and look after them, I get attached needless to say😄. I would communicate and deliver beyond your expectations- not only because that’s what you want, but rather what I would love to do. It would be the highlight of my day and make my dull day into a fulfilling day! I am very compassionate when it comes to animals, although the extra money would be a highlight, regardless, I love animals! I make sure they get lots of loving, play time, food, water, and of course let’s not forget treats! I inspire them to their very own play day!

About: Hey there! I’ve been exposed to so many dogs as I’ve grown up which are all sizes and breeds such as blue heelers, German Shepard, and Labrador retrievers. Dogs are not just a animal and deserve so much attention in their life! I love animals with a passion no matter what breed or size! Im currently a student so I have an open availability to take care of your fur babies😊 I can come multiple times a day also!! I care for pets like their mine. I will make sure they are comfortable and know their safe. If I’m in anyones home, I would treat it as if it was mine!

I've also managed the Animal Care Department for a small farm and hardware store, and have owned dogs, cats and horses for most of my life. I have my own business teaching riding lessons, so I'm pretty flexible with scheduling throughout the week, and can arrange things to make sure your pets are taken care of! When visiting or walking your pet, I love to give extra snuggles and play time. I can play endless games of fetch, and can find all of the best scritchee spots.

“Lisa is INCREDIBLE and Chapo loves her! She is easy to work with and always shows up on time! If you are looking for someone to spend time with your dog or even overnight, Lisa would be a great fit!!”

About: Hello! If you’re in need of pet care, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I have taken care of puppies-senior dogs and have two dogs myself. I have had experience with over 15 different types of breeds and am still looking to expand my horizons. I have done basic training with pets, such as things like sit, shake, lay down, stay, roll over, leash training etc… I have also done crate training successfully with my own dogs as well as others. I try to stay active myself and have no problems with running around with your pup and playing with them when they need to exert some of their energy. I can do baths, as well as brushing depending on their temperament. I am always open to learning what’s best for your dog and how they need to be taken care of, whether they are young or old! I am available everyday except for Sunday 6:00am-5:00pm. I work part time but my schedule is pretty flexible so I can always work to accommodate you and your pets needs! I have always treated pets with respect and kindness, just like I would any other living being. I will always do my best to keep your pets needs and be sure that they are well taken care of. I am patient with them and would never do anything to harm them.
