Dog Walkers in Timberville, VA

About: What sets me apart is the warm, lively family environment I provide. As a mom of two, my home is already focused on care, routine, and patience. I am a stay at home mom of 2 school aged children, so my availability is unlimited. I will be there for you and your pet whenever you need me. I approach pet care with a focus on safety, comfort, and meeting each pet’s specific needs, whether they are in my own home or a client’s. Daily Care & Routine Feeding & Hydration: I provide meals at the correct times and in the right portions, following the owner’s or pet’s dietary needs. Fresh water is always available. Exercise & Play: Dogs get regular walks and play sessions; cats and other pets receive interactive play, puzzle toys, and enrichment activities to keep them mentally stimulated. Grooming: I brush fur, clean ears, and trim nails as needed to maintain hygiene and a healthy coat. Health Monitoring: I watch for changes in appetite, behavior, or physical condition and report any concerns to the owner or recommend a vet if necessary. Safe & Comfortable Environment I create a secure, hazard-free space with designated resting areas, pet gates, and soft bedding. I keep the living area clean, regularly cleaning litter boxes, picking up waste, and maintaining tidiness. For client homes, I check for safety hazards, secure gates, and ensure all pet access points are safe. Enrichment & Socialization I provide a variety of toys, scratching posts, and chew items to encourage natural behaviors. I spend quality time with pets through play, cuddling, and talking to build trust and reduce stress. I may reinforce basic training or good behavior during care. Communication & Consistency I follow the owner’s schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to maintain routine and reduce anxiety. For client pets, I give regular updates via text, photos, or video to keep owners informed and reassured. I honor any specific instructions the owner has for care, feeding, or behavior. Special Considerations If I specialize in senior pet care, I provide gentle handling, extra attention, and a calm environment to support their comfort. For boarding or day care, I maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming space with plenty of social interaction. By combining consistent routines, attentive care, and a safe, pet-friendly environment, I ensure pets are happy, healthy, and well-cared for, whether they are in my home or a client’s.

About: Hello my name is Natasha (Tasha). I have grown up with dogs and love learning new things about dogs. When I was younger my parents constantly bought me books about dogs (the only way they could get me to read). Your dog’s stay will be customized to their needs. If they love to play nonstop, go on long walks, sleep on the couch, sunbathing, or all the belly rubs in the world, that will be what your dog gets under my care. I love to make homemade dog treats and try new recipes. I am comfortable administering medicine (pill form) if it is necessary. I currently have dogs of my own, so if your dog loves playing with other dogs I have the perfect playmates for them!

About: I’ve had pets basically my whole life. Dogs, a couple cats, ferrets. I’m dependable and trustworthy and I will treat them as if they were mine. I am and have been a stay at home mom for almost 15 years, and my schedule is really flexible. I look forward to working with you! I will make sure your fur baby is comfortable. We will play, do walks, whatever makes them happy. I am looking forward to meeting them!

About: The past 12 years a variety of animals have found their way into my life. For me to either love as my own or take care of as if they were my own. From large dog breed to farm animals, big to small, low maintenance to high maintenance. I have done it all and feel confident and comfortable that I can provide quality care for anything that may come my way. I have experience with taking care of more than 8 dogs at a time on my own, some being aggressive or timid. In situations where I am faced with aggression I am able to execute a calm and just course of actions. I believe that my experience in animal care will continue to grow. Trust my experience and love for animals, for it will allow me to best take care of your animals. Thank you for considering me

About: I have always loved being around animals of all kinds; from cats to dogs, geckos, or sheep. I am tolerant and non-judgmental of any living environment, and I have the same standards of care for myself, as I do for the furry/scaly friends I am responsible for. I have cared for elderly dogs and have experience in aiding with mobility and medication. I enjoy playing, exploring, and resting with animals. I am currently available for any time or day of the week, as I am in-between jobs. All commitments I currently have can be worked in around your needs for a sitter. My home is not very suitable for housing pets, which is a large part of the reason I would like to help you with yours!

“Thank you for accepting my last minute request!”
