Dog Walkers in Stanardsville, VA

“Amanda was great with Sampson and she was so detailed in the updates about her walk! She was wonderful to have for Sampson while I had to work the holidays!”

“Doing amazing!”

“Came last minute and was very attentive, including lots of details when communicating. Would definitely recommend!”

“Susan has been incredibly caring with our dog, Bentley. She always makes sure she has everything she needs & spends time relaxing at the house with her. Happy to let her out several times throughout the day & she may even stay at the house at times when we’re away!”

“Dakota connects well with our dog Patrick and is able to re-direct him when he wants to just turn around and come home. Our pup can be just one small ball of over excitement and exuberance and they handle that well. Dakota has been very reliable and always lets me know if he needs to adjust the time a bit.”

“Great walk last minute- thank you! Will be using again”

“Victoria is seriously the best. I always feel so comfortable when Victoria is caring for my pup. My dog is skittish but not with Victoria, she’s super comfortable and I can tell that Victoria is very attentive with my dog’s body language and needs. She’s a true professional. Thankful to have found her!”

“Julia has dog sit for me multiple times. One particular time, she stayed with my dog for a whole week while I was on vacation. She provided exceptional care for my sweet pup. Every day I was gone she would send me pictures and give me updates on how he was doing. My dog gets excited every time he sees her and she makes sure to spend extra time petting him and playing with him outside of her required duties...walking, feeding, etc. I have seen her interact with my dog as well as other animals, and I can tell she genuinely has a love for animals, and animals have a love for her. I would trust her with my dog any day and know that she would go above and beyond. Julia is the first person I ask when I need help with my pup. She is an excellent communicator and is very flexible. I would recommend Julia in a heartbeat, she is wonderful!”

About: I have personally taken care of a wide range of animals over the past few decades! I grew up with my father always having a farm/farm animals and a horse during my yonger years. Had the best puggle furbaby for 14 years that had gone completely blind at the young age of 7 years old. However, that didn't stop her from being little miss independent and being full of personality for the last 1/2 of her life! <3 I also spent 5 years helping raise/take care of Doggos. (LARGE breed) I now have an 8-month-old Maine Coon, who is super chill and acts more like a dog than a cat but grew up with Himalayans. In between all of my own animals, I have cat/dog sat for many friends & family members and would hands down pet sit for just about anyone because furbabies are the absolute best!!! :) I recently parted ways with my full-time job in order to focus on real estate/investment properties, so my schedule is now extremely flexible and why I decided to pick up pet sitting!! I love driving so driving to and from to take care of pets is not an issue for me either!! :) My Home: - Extra-large crate available. - Just under an acre with a nice big yard. (Not fenced at this time) - Lovely little neighborhood for walks (mostly flat with a small hill down one of the roads) and a private road/path between my yard and the farm behind me that I can also use for walks. - If your pup enjoys fresh air, I have a 2nd story back deck with "catio fencing" and a baby gate for the stairs. - I have an 8-month-old Maine Coon kitten who runs the household, but she was completely fine when my sister's pit bull recently stayed over for 2 weeks. **FOR DOGS: When I leave the house, I always lock my cat up in my bedroom and would put pups in the extra-large crate (or client provided crate) to ensure all animals were safe and sound while temporarily away. :) **FOR CATS: I would lock up my cat in my bedroom and have another bedroom w/ bathroom (for their own litterbox/food/water) that would be dedicated for your furbaby! The bedroom has 2 windows that they can enjoy looking out of as well! :) Client's Home: - Trust and respect are a HUGE must in my book and I feel this should be reciprocated for all/both parties!! Just tell me the do's and don'ts and I will respectively adhere! :)

“Hi We have known and loved Cynthia W. for many many years. Cynthia is a loving, caring and responsible parent and rescue dog owner. As pet owners ourselves, I wish we lived closer to Cynthia so she would be able to care for our pets when we travel. Both pets and their owners will love her for her positive attitude and her welcoming smile and of course her obvious love for pets. To be true .... if I were to come back as a dog i would want Cynthia to be my human.”

“Noeli, has been walking my dog teddy for many months now and does a phenomenal job. She is very caring and professional. She does a great job of keeping me informed of any issues and always gives adequate notice when she is unable to make a reoccurring appointment. I would recommend her to anyone seeking great pet care.”

About: Hey there! My name is Amanda, I’m a wine salesperson and I have a deep love for pups! I have one dog of my own, Theo, who is extremely friendly and playful with other dogs. If your pet needs social time that you can’t always provide, Theo and I are happy to help! If your dog doesn’t do well with other dogs, I’m also happy to come to you instead or keep them separated as needed. I have been around dogs my entire life and used to foster dogs for local shelters as well. I have experience with training and teaching dogs basic tricks and manners. I am accepting of all breeds and sizes, and just ask that your pet is dog-friendly and potty trained if they are to come over and hangout with us! It will be my goal to make sure your dog leaves happier than when they came. I look forward to meeting your sweet fur babies! PLEASE make sure your pet is UP TO DATE on grooming (especially nails!), vaccinations, and flea and tick medicine. I’ve had a couple of bad experiences and need to make sure I’m only allowing pets in my home that are safe & healthy! Thank you in advance I pride myself in providing my dogs structure and a set schedule. We get up at 7:30 every morning (after a few snuggles) for breakfast, then we go for a long walk. Before I head to work often take them to the dog park to work out some more of their energy. They then spend the day with my fiancé while I’m gone. We have dinner around 8pm, after our evening walk. Currently, since I have a 12 month old son, I am only available to work at my job on the weekends. This allows me to have a much more open schedule for pets. My fiancé and I also share the responsibility of pet sitting, so please inquire about specific dates as we may be able to have someone available at all times according to our schedule for those dates. I realize each pet is different, so I ask the owner help me personalize care for their unique pet! Normally I like to shower pets with love and play, for dogs that are reactive, have resource guarding, anxiety, or special needs, I modify my approach according to the owner’s preference. For me, communication is everything, and I will only do what I know you are comfortable with.

“Rima has been a lifelong animal lover and caregiver. She's owned multiple types of pets and they have always been well behaved and well cared for. She has watched our multiple dogs and cats on numerous occasions and we couldn't be happier.”

“Madalyn takes her commitments seriously. She has taken care of my 3 year old dog and I have always felt good about the care that is provided.”

“Mary has always been great with dogs ever since she was a kid. She had a dog walking business in middle school and was responsible for several dogs several times a week. She also has grown up with dogs since she was in elementary school and now has her own dog, Finn, that she loves and takes wonderful care of. She has even taken care of my husband and I’s crazy dog (a Brittany with TONS of energy and separation anxiety) and done a fabulous job. I’d highly recommend her as a dog sitter!”

“Sam has been an AMAZING caregiver, and we HIGHLY recommend her to anyone. She is kind and patient. We have two large…and sometimes “crazy minded” fluffballs, and she has always handled them with care. Feel free to contact us for reference.”

About: We provide a loving environment with kids and animals for your dogs to play with including a fenced in yard and lots of attention. We’ve both had animals our whole lives and have lots of experience as pet-owners. We have two cats in the house that are somewhat standoffish but enjoy dogs. The backyard includes a doggy pool for hours of fun and can offer numerous walks throughout their stay. We love to play fetch and socialize with all size dogs, our dogs have experience playing with small dogs as well as big dogs. We have a 4 ft fence surrounding the yard in a quiet suburban neighborhood so if your dog would be happy in those conditions we’d love to hang out with them while you’re away! We’ll also provide pictures throughout their stay with us.

“Mackenzie has been amazing! We can’t say enough great things about her. She sends great reports and obviously cares about our pets. Highly highly recommend.”

“Hello! I had the privilege to work with Bobby Smith on a few occasions before he joined Rover. He watched my two dogs (German Shepherd, and Beagle/hound mix) For about 2 weeks while i was on vacation. He was amazingly careful and thoughtful through the entire process! He would send Updates almost daily of them and kept it extremely professional. We used him about 3 more times after and every time, we were so happy with his service. I would 100% recommend him to any of you as well as recommended him to some friends who were in search of someone to watch their pets! Bobby is AMAZING!”

About: I have extensive experience with all kinds of animals and have been in the veterinary field since I started high school! I love all animals and am comfortable with all species, ages and sizes. I am currently a stay at home mom to one boy and have the time and energy to play and walk your pets or drop in for visits! My son also has lots of energy to play with your fur babies and loves to go on walks as well! I require specific instructions to care for your fur babies to make sure that I am giving them the best care possible while they are in my care.
