Dog Walkers in Toano, VA

About: I started volunteering at the Humane Society at the age of 11, where I fell in love with caring for animals. I lived on a base where people traveled frequently and I was trusted to keep their pets safe and looked after. I now work at a dog daycare/ boarding facility as a kennel attendant, so I have the proper training to take care of your pets. I enjoy my job and have lots of love to give to animals! My schedule is very flexible. I have a two hour lunch break when I do work, and I only work part time. I am a college student and even with next semester coming up, I still will be very available. Unfortunately, I am unavaible at the moment for boarding at my house because of the pets in my household. Hopefully in the near future I will be able to!

About: Hi, I’m Sandra! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for pets is something I love. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog is full of energy and ready for long walks and playtime, or your senior pet prefers a slower pace with extra patience and gentle care, I adapt to their individual needs. You can count on me to provide dependable care, regular updates, and plenty of love while you’re away. I’m a stay at home mom and have all the time in the world to spend with the pets in my care. I also enjoy gardening, baking, pottery, walks and spending time with my family. We have a doggie gate and big fenced backyard for your dog to run and play outside. Pets are welcome on the couch so we can all watch movies together. We don’t crate unless specifically requested by clients and we typically go on 2/3 walks a day.

About: As a special education teacher, I bring patience, consistency, and strong communication skills to every pet I care for. I previously owned a pit bull named Belle who had social anxiety around other dogs, which taught me how to recognize stress signals, manage walks safely, and adapt to a dog’s individual needs. I’m comfortable working with dogs that require extra patience, structure, or a calm approach, and I prioritize safety, reliability, and positive experiences for both pets and their owners. Having the summers off, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time throughout the week to pet care. Daily walks and outdoor activity have long been part of my routine from caring for my previous dog, Belle, a pit bull who thrived on consistency and regular exercise. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule, and I enjoy providing pets with the attention, companionship, and activity they need while their owners are away. I have the flexibility to provide attentive care and spend quality time with pets throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make an effort to learn their preferences, favorite activities, and household rules so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. My dog Belle, a pit bull, was very much a member of the family, so I understand how important it is to treat pets with the same level of care and respect. I’m also firmly in the “dogs belong on furniture” camp, so I understand that pets are family members and should be treated with love, respect, and affection. I’m happy to provide plenty of affection, playtime, and companionship along with meeting their daily needs.

About: Hey there, my name is Kiana! I am an avid dog lover, that has over 15+ years of experience with animals. 2 years out of my experience had been working for an amazing animal clinic, who have taught me a lot and how to care for our animals. Our animals are just like children, they are our fur babies! My love for animals helps me bond with every animal I meet and treat them with the upmost affection, respect and love. Being a past veterinary assistant has showed me different things to look for if an animal isn’t feeling well and how to respond. Having this experience your animal is in safe hands and will be taken great care of. I enjoy creating new bonds with animals and their Hooman! ❤️ (Last name change "Glem") I am currently working with my family, my hours are normally in the PT range but can be subjected to change. Mon-Fri 8-4 however working in my family business I can make adjustments to my schedule as needed. I live with my fiance (Glem), our almost 2 yr old rescue & 1 roommate in our 3 story townhouse. We are an end corner house so we do have a decent-sized unfenced grass area. Where our house is located in our neighborhood, directly in front of our house is a park with lots of great space to walk, run & play. Where we live is very dog & kid-friendly.

That's where I can help! Contact me and set up an appoinent and I'll take care of your pet, we can work around any schedule you may have. Animals should always be looked at like family and that's why taking care of them is a huge commitment to me. You should appreciate your best friend, dogs and cats (animals) have feelings just as much as we humans do. Thy generally experience every feeling we go through, whether it’s love or neglect, hunger or anger, jelousy or comfort. No maytter what they always want that companionship .

About: I've been a dog lover since I was eight years old, growing up with three Chihuahuas who sparked my passion for caring for animals. From a young age, I learned how to nurture and bond with dogs, and that love has only grown since then. I understand that every dog has its own personality and needs, and I'm committed to making sure every animal in my care feels safe and comfortable just like they would at home. Pet care fits into my daily routine it's something I genuinely look forward to. I've always wanted a way to give back by caring for others, without it conflicting with my other commitments. Dog sitting gives me exactly that. Whether it's a walk or a check-in, I’m dedicated! Your pet's safety is my top priority! I treat every animal in my care like my own, making sure they're always supervised and comfortable.

About: I've taken care of animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to chickens, ducks, and goats, since I was 13. In my senior year of high school, I took a veterinary science class where I did check-ups and grooming on all sorts of animals. (Dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, etc.) I feed, walk, and medicate animals for coworkers, family, and friends just about everytime I'm home from school! I plan on working part-time, so I will have limited times during the day to walk your dogs, but I will have plenty of time to go over and feed, medicate, play, empty litter, etc., after or before my shifts! We've got a super big yard, so plenty of room to run around and play. My doggies at home use an electric fence, but I'm used to walking other dogs on a leash, no problem! Additionally, my pups get along well with other dogs, so no issues in regard to company and territory!

“Craig is great! Professional and friendly- I had so much peace of mind knowing my dog was being well taken care of with him. Highly recommend!!”

“Kimberly was AMAZING!! We are traveling in our RV and she came out to our campsite and walked our dogs for us....She was professional, super nice and the dogs loved her.”

About: I have always had a companion animal ever since I was a child. I currently have four rescues who are like children to me. I promise to treat your companion animals as if they were my own – with TLC, attention, and love. I work part-time, so my availability will vary. I no longer do overnight stays but I'm happy to visit more than once a day as my schedule allows. I am only available to take care of your pets in your home. I am very happy to take them for a walk, when needed.

About: Hi, we’re Teona and Louie! We’re passionate about caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. With two gentle, well-socialized pups of our own, we know how important it is for dogs to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. We have hands-on experience with: • Puppy training & socialization – helping young dogs learn basic commands, crate training, and good manners. • Senior dog care – providing extra patience, gentle handling, medication administration, and accommodations for mobility or health needs. • Multi-dog households – managing playtime, feeding schedules, and safe introductions so everyone gets along. • Special care needs – whether it’s dietary restrictions, anxiety management, or post-surgery recovery. Our goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their furry friends are in experienced, caring hands. I’m home most of the time, except for quick grocery trips. I’ll be available to give your dog plenty of attention and care throughout the day. We keep your pups active during the day so they’re ready to settle in at night. Dogs usually sleep in their room with their own bed or blanket (if provided), which keeps them safe and cozy. We have a separate room to ensure they’re comfortable and relaxed. Feel free to message us with any questions—we’d love to make sure both you and your pup feel at ease!

“Excellent communication and friendliness.”
