Dog Walking In Stonewall Court

About: Raised in a family of veterinarians and surrounded by pets daily, my love for animal care is lifelong. I started dog sitting for neighbors 6 years ago and fell in love with it so I’m currently pet sitting full-time. I spend as much time as possible with animals. When I’m not sitting, I enjoy fostering cats and taking rescue pups on 'Dog Days Out'. With a history of over 150 overnight stays and dozens of additional walks and drop-in visits, I’m eager to bring this care to your home and look after your pets as if they were my own. I offer peace of mind with transparent scheduling, regular updates, and plenty of pictures! I have lots of free time for your deserving pets. Ensuring they're happy, healthy, safe, and loved is my top priority and I stay with them as much as you’d like. I follow your instructions to provide the best care to your pets while respecting your home. I have experience taking care of dogs and cats from high energy to low energy as well as those with medicinal needs, trouble eating, and separation anxiety.

About: Over the years I’ve cared for many types of dogs: wheaten terriers, springer spaniels, labs, golden doodles, etc. I’ve been very involved in training our dogs and teaching them fun tricks! I’m currently not working so between job applications and interviews I have plenty of time to walk dogs and pet sit! I’m also available on weekdays and most weekends I grew up with dogs, and I currently have a very friendly and outgoing 5 year old English Springer Spaniel (neutered) that loves to play with other dogs. I’m very aware of my surroundings when walking dogs and I’ve had years of experience to properly handle any situation that may arise on our walk.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years-old, and my parents told me our family dog was my responsibility. I have had six dogs of my own over the years, including one foster dog that I had for several years. I have dog sat for many of my friends and neighbors over the years, as everyone knows how much I love dogs! I currently work from home in Richmond and spend all day with my loveable Golden Retriever, Louie! He gets along very well with other dogs and is happy to host them in his house and backyard. We would love to care for your best canine friend as well! I currently work fulltime from home so I am able to be home nearly all of the day with your dog(s). I will be at home on the computer or on the phone so your dogs will be with me almost all times of the day. I know what it's like to leave your dog babies with other people when you travel so I try to give them as much attention as I can. I'll also keep you well updated while you're gone as well.

“Took great care of my dog!”

“Lauren was an excellent dog walker! Our dog Mabel loved her and we felt at ease knowing she was getting some great exercise when we weren't able to be home. Lauren also wrote fun, detailed "report cards" that made us smile every time we got one! Would definitely work with her again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs large and small since I was 12. Additionally, I have experience with more aggressive breeds of dogs. I have had my dog Narcissa Rose for almost 3 years, since she was a puppy, and so I have ample experience with puppies, training, and medication administration (both topically and orally)! I am a firm believer that our fur babies deserve the best care possible, as it’s their first time in this life as well and we have to be their advocate! I have a full time job, as well as a business. However, I am fortunate that I am an early riser, so morning walks and visits are never an issue. As well, I have a very flexible work schedule and can leave work when necessary. My evenings are relatively free and even when I have plans, I ensure to make time so pets are cared for properly. I have a fenced in patio space as well as a neighborhood dog park that would make any furry friend happy! I crate my own dog occasionally, and so am no stranger to the need for it and am comfortable enforcing that with your pup if requested. I have had experiences myself of sitters not paying attention to my pets while in my home and so I take it very seriously that if I’m in your home, my attention is focused 100% on your pet(s)!

“Brittany was able to help us on short notice with walking our dog while we were both sick. Her prompt communication made things very easy. Our dog can take some time to warm up to people but was immediately happy and comfortable with Brittany, which is not always the case. We'll certainly be repeat clients!”

Amy R.

About: I have had dogs since I was a child. I’ve walked neighbors dogs. Volunteered to raise puppies for service dog organizations. I volunteer at the RACC animal shelter as well during the week Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m a full-time college student, but my afternoons and evenings are open for walks, visits, feeding, and playtime. My weekends are fully available, which gives me even more flexibility for longer stays or extra attention. I already spend a lot of my free time caring for and hanging out with my own pets, so adding pet sitting to my schedule feels like a perfect and natural fit. I provide attentive, reliable care for pets in their own home, maintaining their normal routines to reduce stress. I ensure fresh food and water, daily exercise, playtime, litter or yard cleanup, medication if needed, and plenty of affection. I also keep the home tidy, bring in mail, and send regular updates with photos so clients feel confident and reassured while they’re away.

“Punctual and great communication”

About: I've been around dogs my entire life: Owned 4 and raised/trained 16 service dogs in training for children with disabilities. I run half marathons, so I'll run with your pup if that's what they like! I have plenty of toys that I've collected over the years for your dog to play with! I love teaching dogs new tricks and commands, and would love to work with your fur baby so they can show you something special when you return! I take pictures constantly, so you will always have an update on your pup. I am comfortable with all breeds, and have the most experience with labs, goldens, and doodles. I am happy to give your pup a bath for a small fee so they come back to you looking and feeling great! I also have experience teaching basic commands to your dog, and would be more than happy to discuss training programs if that’s something you’re interested in! I also have experience with kittens and cats, having had 3 of my own. I'm comfortable with super friendly cats, or cats that want to keep to themselves. I will make sure your cat has food, water, and a clean litter box while you are away. In addition I can offer care for any gardens/houseplants that you have as well! While I work during the week, I am still committed to providing the best care for your pets. This will especially be true for pets that are use to having their people work during the day! This will provide a routine for your furry family member while you are away! While I live in an apartment, I am close to a park if your dog is friendly and enjoys going for walks! I am also very comfortable caring for cats and all that that entails while the cat stays in your home, usually where they are the most comfortable.

About: I grew up with a ton of pets, from cats to big Rottweilers. I have a cat of my own right now who means the world to me, and taking care of other pets is more than just a side job- I consider them family and I love being around them. I’m an outdoors lover, so there is no problem to take them out and play. Mornings and nights are pretty flexible for me, so I can find time to take care of what is needed at a reasonable time. I look forward to caring for your pets, as I have always and always will be a huge animal lover. I work a different schedule everyday, and they are 9 hour shifts. Drop-in times will not be exact as scheduled but they will always be reasonable. I spend time with animals 24/7 and I love having them around so chances are I will be hanging out with your pet like a friend!

“She’s so great with our picky pup!”

Albree and Andy R.

“Sarah is great to work with! She is very responsive, professional, and kind. She takes great care of my pup on walks and is a great communicator. Very glad to have found her!”

Rebecca K.

“Elizabeth is amazing with sunny, our Pomeranian. She gets him up and out of bed for his morning walk, and he can be grumpy to get up in the mornings. He likes her and doesn't bark as much as when other people come through the door. She's attentive to detail and so helpful. I fractured my ankle and she's helped sunny get in the morning walks he needs. Thank you so much!”

About: I've always been an avid animal lover, having had many dogs and cats of my own. Not only will I look after your baby, but I promise to treat them like my own. I have a very flexible schedule and can provide all the assistance you need to ensure your pup is happy and healthy while you're away, giving you peace of mind and your baby some extra love. I have 3 cats and a dog myself, so I know how to love and take care of animals. I have a flexible schedule so I can most likely accommodate yours! I can do drop ins, walks, and overnight stays! Anytime morning, afternoon or evening. It’s important that animals are safe, loved, and entertained. I will walk dogs, clean litter boxes, play and spend time outside. I also love snuggles and will make sure your baby has lots of love. I send pictures and updates too if you want that!
