Dog Walking University Of Richmond

“Shelby walked my dog daily for over a week while I was unable. She was always on time, responsible, friendly to my dog, and communicative. I recommend her as a dog walker.”

“Shannon was huge help walking our dog Nora after my foot surgery. She was responsible, communicative, and took some cute pictures of Nora during their walks! We will definitely book again.”

Meagan M.

“Mark took great care of our puppy. He was very quick to respond to my request (it was somewhat short notice) and was a lifesaver. He kept us updated and paid attention to our dogs needs. I highly recommend Mark and will be using him in the future.”

“Sidney is so wonderful with our sweet pug! We trust her deeply and she is a great communicator and very flexible with our somewhat unpredictable schedules.”

About: I specialize in thoughtful, low-stress care for cats of all personalities—from social and playful to shy and selective. I take the time to understand each cat’s routine, preferences, and boundaries so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience with multi-cat households, administering basic medications, and caring for senior cats who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m highly reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, and I treat your home and your cat with the same level of care I would expect for my own. You can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your cat is in calm, capable hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around visits, ensuring I’m always on time and able to provide consistent, attentive care. I’m intentional about not overbooking so each cat receives the time, attention, and calm presence they deserve. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or a longer visit, I prioritize being fully present and dependable. I focus on maintaining each cat’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. During visits, I handle feeding, fresh water, litter box care, and playtime or companionship based on your cat’s personality. I take the time to understand preferences — whether that’s interactive play, quiet company, or simply respecting their space. I’m attentive to small changes in behavior or appetite and will always communicate anything noteworthy. I also treat your home with care and respect, keeping things clean and consistent. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you always know how your cat is doing.

“Taylor has been awesome! We have a bully puppy that absolutely adores her! She is on time, trustworthy and very personable, and even loves on my kitties when she comes and lets our puppy out! We love Taylor!”

Sandra H.

“Sydney was awesome. Milo loved her! She kept us updated with tons of texts and pictures/videos during their playtime! She took great care of my boy”

Matthew A.

“Deon is very friendly and an expert dog walker. My dog, Pancake, is not the easiest dog to walk (lots of pulling and lunging) but he handles it very well. He pays attention to what I tell him about her, and adjusts his walks to fit her idiosyncrasies.”

Karen A.

About: I have over a decade of experience in walking and watching fur babies. I treat each one like they’re my own. If you have any questions just ask!

“Marlowe is awesome! She loves (and can handle!) my very excitable pit and is great with her. Lisa is always tired after a visit with Marlowe. It gives me so much peace of mind to know that Lisa can get some quality play and snuggle time during the day with Marlowe. I would recommend her to anyone.”

About: My first dog, Bella, was a black lab and I spent many days taking her on walks of varying distance. After she sadly passed, my family adopted another black lab, Luther, who was a handful when he was a puppy! He is now 3yo, and I've helped care for him by playing with him, taking him on walks, and feeding him. I also have dog-sat for 2 Vizslas and 1 small terrier. When I was around 12yo I cat-sat for my neighbors and would play with and feed their 2 cats. I'm currently working a very flexible schedule as a student researcher. I'm extremely free on weekends and am willing to work early or late hours! I've walked dogs who have a "pulling" problem/are just very excited pups! I've also walked stubborn dogs who don't like to walk very far in the heat (my dog!). Additionally, I've fed dogs with unique food instructions involving medications and dogs who are stubborn eaters.

About: I am a certified veterinary assistant.I graduated from a vet science class where we perform animal care on the pets we have: bunnies, cats, guinea pigs, grooming dogs, etc. I used to work at Dogtopia so I know how to handle dogs. I will be available all day on weekdays so I can spend nights in the pets home for overnights if necessary . I can't do weekends because I have a 2nd job. ⚠️ Im only available until-august 7 I have 2 ESA cats . One is a black domestic shorthair named Shadow The Hedgehog . The other is a tabby named Silver The Hedgehog

About: I have been pet sitting for my community since I can remember!!! I have experience administering medications in topical form, oral medication via syringe, eye ointments, and nose droppers!! I work full time, so I will only be able to do weekend overnight bookings, but during the weekend I can be available all day to help you and your pet as much as needed!!! For daily drop ins, I will be able to check in before, during, and after working hours due to my flexible working schedule :-) I will respect all of the rules and jobs that the owner of the pet would give to me!!! I am clean, responsible, and honest!!

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.

“So great to work with!”

About: I have 7 years of pet care experience. I have cared for countless animals, including dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, rodents, and fish. I absolutely love animals and am committed to providing them with the most adequate care. I am currently working part-time as a nanny, my hours are 2-6 Monday-Friday. I am looking for gigs that can work around these hours, preferably the weekend. I have a large, fenced in yard which my two dogs love to play in. I also have a leopard gecko and parakeets (who will be in their cage whenever another animal is in the house.)

“Kate is reliable and went above and beyond to care for my pup. Very grateful for her help”

About: Call me Libby :) Dogs are my absolute passion in life! I was raised in a home with dogs and I’ve been a personal pet owner for over 10 years. I have experience raising and fostering puppies, seniors, and everything in between! I’ve had dogs in hospice care, with special needs, medical issues, etc. I have basic training skills and there are no stairs in my home in case your dog can’t use them. I have a large fenced in yard for play time or sunbathing in a safe and quiet neighborhood. They will be treated as if they are my own and loved on for every minute they are in my care! I run my own business so my work hours are flexible. I never leave the home for more than 4-5 hours at the absolute maximum. My 2 dogs and I go on evening walks everyday (after it’s cooled off in the summer time) and lots of outdoor time in between. My life revolves around my dogs needs so yours will fit in perfectly! I have a large fenced in yard and crates of different sizes if you need or want them to be crated. I have two friendly dogs so your baby will never be alone. My youngest dog will be a loving companion to your pet and make sure they feel like they’re at home. Whether that’s playing or napping, he will fall in love with them instantly!

“Brandi was so great with my dogs while I was away. She sent me a detailed report about their behaviors while on their walk. I received multiple great pictures of my babies attached to the report and it made me feel so much better while I was away. As someone who is a first time user of Rover, I am so glad to have found someone who is knowledgeable, caring, and willing to help in any way she can. I highly recommend Brandi to anyone who loves their furbabies”
