“Heather always does a great job with our pup! Due to my ongoing changing schedule, I often reach out to her the night before I am in need of her service. She remains flexible with times and is great with communication!”


About: I have loved animals since I was a little girl. Having grown up around dogs of all sizes, I’m committed to taking the best care of your fur baby. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust! I currently work from home all week & am available pretty much all day for potty breaks, feedings and play time! I live near a lot of trails and I love walking companions! I have one small dog who would absolutely love a play partner. I live in a very walkable location and my husband and I are constantly taking our dog for walks, another companion would be great! My schedule is so flexible so I am able to accommodate any specific needs!

About: I have owned and taken care of many animals since I was young including exotic and livestock animals. I have experience with training two very different breeds of dogs, one currently still in training. I work with kids at a summer camp fulltime but between me and my fiance the pets are never alone for more than 4 hours. My weekends are fully open and that's usually when I go on more enriching activities such as hikes, lakes, ECT. My cats at home are allowed to free roam and usually keep to themselves but my dog stays mostly in her pen because she's still being house trained. My house is on the smaller side so best suited for small to medium dogs instead of large.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs , guinea pigs , cats , and other animals since I was a small child . I’ve always loved animals and have a high and caring energy for them. I’m currently working part-time , so caring for your pets could easily fit into my schedule! Im very flexible and am eager to help you out. I maintain my pets and work on their tricks and health every day. I adore seeing them grow and develop. Their safety and health is of the most importance to me. I keep them well fed and maintained, always clean and happy! Tails always wagging!

“Audrey was wonderful with my Rosebud! I booked with her a little bit last minute, but she was very flexible and even did a meet and greet with Rosebud prior to the walk day. Will definitely book with Audrey again!!”


About: Hi, I’m Zane. You might say I have a bit of a Lucky Dog mindset when it comes to working with pups. For years, I’ve helped dogs build trust, confidence, and joy through calm leadership, positive reinforcement, and plenty of tail-wagging fun. Now, I’m bringing that same heart and expertise to the trails, parks, and neighborhoods. What Makes Me Different? As a college student studying both psychology and animal science, I don’t just walk dogs—I connect with them. I understand dog behavior on a deeper level and use that knowledge to make every walk safe, structured, and enriching. Whether your pup is high-energy, shy, reactive, or just needs a steady hand, I’ve got the experience to make sure they feel secure and cared for. Every Walk is a Training Opportunity My calm and confident approach turns a daily walk into a moment of growth. I reinforce good leash manners, provide mental stimulation, and make sure every dog gets the physical exercise and emotional connection they need. Service You Can Count On • Tailored walks based on your dog’s energy level and personality • Consistent routines and detailed feedback after each visit • Clean, respectful home visits with plenty of play, affection, and fresh air • Trusted care with a trainer’s eye and a host’s heart Whether you’ve got a brand-new puppy or a wise old soul, I’m here to give your dog the kind of care that’s worthy of a spot on Lucky Dog—because every dog deserves that kind of attention. Let’s give your dog their best day, every day. Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m home often and can plan my day around walks, feedings, and playtime. I enjoy starting and ending the day with pets—it’s a great rhythm and honestly something I look forward to. Whether it’s sticking to their usual schedule or giving them extra love and attention throughout the day, I make pet care a priority and enjoy having it as a regular part of my week. Whether I’m watching pets in my home or theirs, I always make safety and comfort my top priority. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and personality so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. In my home, I keep the space clean, pet-friendly, and secure—no access to anything unsafe, and always supervised during play or outside time. If I’m caring for pets in their home, I stick closely to their regular schedule and make sure they feel at ease while their family is away. I treat every pet like my own, with lots of love, attention, and respect for their unique habits and preferences.

About: I love animals. I have been watching both cats and dogs for years. Anything from Long walks, simple feeds or just quality time that they love. I been animal sitting for years and have worked it as a side job off and on. Open schedule being at home almost everyday. I can take care of the fur babies anytime. who wouldn’t wanna spend time with the cute animals. Clients home I try to respect what the animal is used to. If a client tells me they can’t go upstairs, no upstairs. I’m not one to disrespect or mess up peoples homes. I try to just spend the whole time with the animals. In my home I care for many animals with different schedules and let them have space but also give them the attention all animals need. They are like our babies and I think animals need loved.

About: Hi! My name is Britt. I'm a Lynchburg-area dog walker and house/pet sitter. I've had pets all my life. I'm also a doggie dad myself. My guy's name is Petersburg (Pete for short). I'm excited to get to know some more furry friends! I have an extremely flexible weekly schedule which allows me to adjust my availability to fit the needs and routines of you and your fur babies. For my guy, Pete, I feed him breakfast and dinner, and let him outside every 3-4 hours. Before we adopted Pete, he was hit by a car and had to have two surgeries on his hip. So, as he continues to rehabilitate, I make sure that he gets a few long walks every week alternated with some recovery days of well-deserved laziness.

About: Hi! My name is Alexis, I am 27 years old, and I have been around animals my entire life.

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, horses, and rodents for more than a decade. I am very passionate and experienced with their personalities, needs, and care. I have also taken care of animals of all ages, even senior pets who need a little extra love and attention. I am happy to work with special needs pets as long as the owner works with me to establish a care plan. I am currently looking for full-time employment, so I will have lots of time to spend with your furry friend! This frees me up to take morning or evening walks with your buddy during the hot summer or fall months. I am happy to follow any instructions given by the owners and to cater the experience to each individual pet as needed. I know that every animal has a unique personality and needs, and I promise to always do my best to make sure they are comfortable and safe while they are in my care.

About: I'm Kelsie! I live in Madison Heights with 3 cats, 2 dogs, and 1 husband. I work in marketing from my home during the day, and I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to adjust to your schedule as needed. I also bartend on the weekends and occasional weeknight, but I can usually work around that schedule with enough notice. I've had animals my entire life, and growing up I was the primary caregiver for all the family pets from a young age. I have experience raising cats, dogs, and birds. I love pure breeds and support responsible breeding, but I personally love to rescue dogs. My husband and I have made a lot of progress with our rescues, building confidence and obedience training. They've developed good habits through our work and are well socialized with dogs of all sizes, cats, and children (although we don't have children ourselves.) We use primarily positive reinforcement for training, never more than a stern "no" in response to negative behavior. The closest thing to "punishment" that we practice is gently isolating the dog long enough to calm him down if he gets too riled up and stops listening. I am not a trained professional, but if you have any behavioral issues you would like to work on I would be happy to help based on my own experiences! I occasionally ask my husband to accompany me on visits for safety or an extra hand, especially if it's a new client or multiple dogs. I will always let you know if that's the case, and if you prefer not to let him in your home/around your pets we will adjust accordingly. Thank you for your time, I look forward to working with you! I'm fortunate to have a flexible work schedule, and have very few problems accommodating my clients' needs and finding solutions for various concerns. I know firsthand how important it can be to respect a pet's established schedule, especially when their owner is away and their anxiety might be heightened. My typical rover experiences involve walking dogs, playing with cats, and refilling food and water. I also have experience caring for rabbits, chickens, and exotic birds. I place a lot of value on clear, transparent communication. Therefore I text my clients often with updates and detailed descriptions of their pets care and conditions, making sure to include plenty of pictures.
