Dog Walkers in Tacketts Mill, VA

“We were so nervous as our dog watching plans fell through. I hopped on rover and was quickly put at ease by Elena. The most amazing experience ever. Far exceeded our expectations for taking care of our fur baby. Winston, my dog, fell in love. Amazing communication and super accommodating. Elena sent several pictures every visit that showed our doggy was happy every walk she took him on. She gave him food and water twice a day every day and took him on wonderful adventures. Very prompt responses and updates on our puppy made us so glad we chose Elena. Her messages every visit made us smile and put us at ease. I can't stress enough how wonderful she is. Stop looking and book her now! I have found our forever puppy sitter. Thanks again Elena.”

About: I am a compassionate babysitter! I love all animals and treat my pets like my children. I take my dog everywhere with me. From Starbucks for pup cups to Lowe’s to shop. She’s my shadow and I will treat your pet with the same kind of companionship. I am open to all request. Just let me know what you are looking for and we can figure out the schedule! Happy to be flexible with times and needs. I provide a safe environment at home. I have two pets of my own, a very calm golden retriever and a black cat that thinks she’s a dog. They usually sleep throughout the day. I work from home so your pet can hang out with me while I work. For drop in visits I would come solo without my dog (unless requested for play).

“Lindsey is absolutely INCREDIBLE! The love and care she shows for my pup is unmatched. She goes above and beyond to work with my schedule and is truly such a kind person. If you’re looking for someone to look after your pup in any way. No hesitation. It HAS to be Lindsey. You will not regret it!!!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own large dog as well as pets belonging to neighbors, so I'm comfortable with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I'm a mix of energetic and calm, which helps me adapt to whatever a pet needs. Whether that's a fun, active walk or a slow relaxed pace. I’m a college student's home for the summer, which makes my schedule very flexible for your pet's care. I am available most days for walks, drop-ins, and cat visits. I want to make sure each pet is getting my full attention during each visit. The only set times I’m unavailable are Monday, Tuesdays and Thursdays mornings from 8:30am to 10:25am while I'm taking a summer course to help with my degree. Outside of that, I’m free to adjust to your pet’s routine and ensure they get the care and companionship they deserve. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always make safety my top priority. I follow your pet’s routine exactly as you describe it and make sure to double check doors, gates and harnesses before and after every visit to make sure your pet stays safe. I like to keep your home just as you left it, lights, locks, and routines are all respected. I’m also mindful of keeping things clean, especially around food and litter areas. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, relaxed and cared for while giving you peace of mind that both your home and your furry family member is in good hands.

“Laurie is a very important part of my beloved Frisbee. Her updates give me joy during my stressful days at work. We truly love her knowledge on how to ensure our pet is on the right path to a healthy balance.”

About: I will offer the love and attention your animal deserves! This family (me, my husband, and our two children, ages 16 and 13 all dog crazy and will be tending to your baby(ies) with love and care. We always treat our canine visitors like they are family. I have experience with a diabetic animal as well, and gave insulin shots for four and a half years to our Pug, Bill. I promise you will get photos and updates during your pet’s stay, and I will not compromise on keeping them safe and secure at all times. We only watch one dog from one family at once, but I will watch two to three dogs from the same family. I will bathe, nail trim, and brush any breed. I will walk them at least twice a day, for about a mile each time, if your dog can handle that physically. I always listen to your animals needs and will honor them. We have a family pet named Ted. He is a three year old Pug. He gets along well with every animal he has ever encountered. We would insist on a new boarding client coming over for a meet and greet first. I would be able to care for your pets in our home. We do not have a fenced yard. I typically will put pets on leashes for their potties and walks unless the owner tells me they are comfortable with them going out with me into the yard for a potty unleashed.

When it’s time to rest, I provide a peaceful, comfortable playpen where your pet can recharge for the next round of fun. Safety is my top priority. I have cameras set up throughout the house so I can monitor your pet when no one is home, ensuring they’re always safe and content. Whether they’re playing in the yard or napping in their playpen, I’ll always be able to keep an eye on them and make sure they’re well taken care of. With a reliable and loving home environment, I’ll provide the same quality care and attention to your pet as I give my own. You can trust that your furry family member will feel right at home with me—safe, secure, and treated with the care they deserve.

I am currently available every day for drop in visits and walks. I would love to spend time with your furry companion, I am willing to work with any schedule! I can be trusted to properly and safely care for your dog in your home. I ensure all doors are locked and the proper lights are on in the house before I leave.

About: I’ve loved animals all my life. I’ve dog sat for neighbors for days at a time and walk my own dog as well as neighbors dogs frequently. I am available majority of the time especially in summer. There may be times i am unavailable for a certain time for vacation or certain hours when school begins. My yard is fenced, my dog loves to play outside so we will play with her for hours at a time. She gets lots of attention as we treat her as family.

About: I have taken care of all different kinds of dogs ranging from small Shih Tzus to Great Danes. I have two dogs myself that I've had for 6 years now and I had dogs growing up, so I am very well versed in both younger and older dogs. I have had to help take care of puppy litters before and I really enjoy working with dogs. My dogs are very high energy, so I have learned to love playing fetch and taking long walks multiple times a day. I am able to match their high energy; however, I am just as able to work with lower energy dogs. I believe that all dogs deserve the best care and love possible, so I hope to work with people who want the same for their dogs. I also have experience working at the Fredericksburg Squishy Face Crew which is a non-profit animal shelter. I worked at their intake warehouse playing with the dogs outside and cleaning. I don't currently have any other immediate obligations, so my schedule is very flexible, and I am open most weeks. I have my own car, so transportation to and from houses is never going to be an issue. I am willing to work with you to find a schedule that works best, and I can schedule my personal obligations around that. I would care for your pets based on your description of their eating habits, energy level, and the environment around the house. I would be happy to take walks around the neighborhood, or if this is not possible, I am happy to use my car to take your dog to a park to walk. If you would rather us stay at the home, I would aim to still play with your dog if prompted by playing with toys. I am happy to feed your dogs with whatever material is provided and make sure that they have constant access to water and the bathroom.
