Dog Walking Villa Heights

“Zoe was great! She was always on-schedule and was very patient with my weird little girl. She does things like hiding when it's time to go out and then pulling a LOT once you finally get her out. But Zoe never complained and always hung around with the baby for a few minutes of love and play after the walk. My schedule has changed and no longer need a dog-walker, but if I ever need one again, will definitely look for her!”

“Eve is phenomenal with my little pup! She takes fabulous care of her while we’re away and she is so sweet and so so kind! We absolutely love her an are so glad we found her!”

“Jessika was easily the best I’ve found in the app by far. I work long hours and require someone to stop by for a walk and food/water break. She was great with my puppy and even left a little surprise for her. My little girl seemed much less stressed after her visits and it completely removed the stress of worrying about her while working. I would absolutely recommend Jessika!”

“Selena is a champ! Arya doesn’t do a lot of people, but Selena got her on the first meet and on their first walk! We will definitely be using her again!”

About: Hi! I am a young, active, outdoorsy homeschool mother who would love to help care for your beloved dog! 🐾 I have experience caring for a variety of breeds and personalities, including German Shepherds, Labradoodles, Terriers, Shih Tzus, Great Pyrenees, and Australian Shepherds. I understand that every dog has different needs, routines, and comfort levels, and I am committed to providing patient, loving, individualized care. I have a large, securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore, and I enjoy getting outside for walks with active dogs. My home is a great fit for dogs who enjoy plenty of attention, snuggles, playtime, and outdoor activity. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog like part of my family while they’re in my care. I'm happy to follow your pet’s normal feeding, medication, exercise, and routine instructions so they feel comfortable and at home while you’re away. ❤️ I'd love the opportunity to get to know you and your dog and provide them with a safe, fun, and loving stay! I have a very flexible and open schedule, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention and companionship. I work one day a week and homeschool my 9-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter so it is essential your dog is comfortable around older children. Because I homeschool, I spend most of my days at home and have flexibility throughout the day for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and keeping your pet company. I enjoy an active, outdoorsy lifestyle and I'm happy to accommodate your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort is my top priority. My home has a large, securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get some exercise. I have an active family with two kind, loving, and playful children who enjoy having animals around. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I will follow your instructions regarding feeding, exercise, routines, and boundaries. I will provide close supervision and a loving, family-oriented environment. For walks or care in your home, I am reliable, respectful, and trustworthy. I will treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own family and pets.

“Samantha was immediately responsive, great with our dogs, and kept us posted with pics and videos. We will definitely book her service again!”

About: I have assisted with dogs my entire life and they have always been in the best care and never needed for anything while with me. I have unlimited time to devote to pet-sitting, especially during the day, where those I am caring for will be my main priority and have my main attention. I will always give them my undivided attention and interact and care for them as if they were my own and make them the focus.

About: I've cared for dogs of my own and friends, neighbors, and coworkers for over 10 years. I have experience in puppies, training, long walks and overnight care as well as maintaining medication and caring for sick animals when needed. I am in graduate school and work part time so my schedule is flexible around my classes. This gives me availability to be home at times during the day for walks and bathroom breaks. I care for pets with comfort and calm in mind, so I keep routines that they know and feel safe with and prioritize exercise and quality time to keep them feeling happy and safe.

About: I’ve cared for animals, dogs and cats, since childhood. I’m very comfortable around animals, and love helping them get the care and attention they need. I am a stay at home mom, so this fits into an already open schedule. I’m available mornings and afternoons with my son joining me. I treat every animal with respect and love. I look to the owner for specific desires of care since it is your pet I’m watching!

“Sydney is so good with our Enzo! She’s attentive to how he’s feeling on the walk (which is key with the heat and his puppy age), what training we’re working on (she reinforces what we’re focusing on), and making sure he has a great time. She’s our go to!”

About: hey y’all! I’m a Roanoke native that loves animals and the outdoors. I grew up with dogs, cats, and chickens, and I’ve fostered three cats. I’ll treat your pets and your home with great care; animal care is something I take seriously and I believe it’s important for pet owners to have peace of mind when they are away. Look no further for a responsible and reliable adult to care for your animals. “If all the beasts were gone, men would die from a great loneliness of spirit.” At the moment I’m available seven days a week for dogsitting. My weekday schedule is somewhat flexible for drop-in visits or dogwalking. Feel free to inquire. I’m not able to have pets in my own home, but I can provide continuity of care while you are away. The services I offer include dog walking, drop-in visits, and occasionally, pet sitting (including regular walks and feeding). I am happy to accommodate pets with special needs whenever possible.

About: I have years of first hand experience taking care of dogs. I have two labs of my own, Remington (12 year old charcoal) and Gunner (3 year old yellow). Pet care is already a natural part of my routine. As the owner of two labs, my days already include feedings, walks, tummy rubs and companionship. With my background in Law Enforcement, you will have reliability, dependability, observation, safety consciousness and attention to detail, when it comes to your loved pets.

About: I grew up dog-sitting for friends and family in addition to caring for my family dog, Abby. I have experience raising and training two puppies, and I worked at a dog boarding facility in Colorado for several months. I work at a local animal shelter Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 8am-6pm. I am typically available all day Sunday-Wednesday. For overnight house sitting, I prefer to book days that I am not working so that I'm able to devote my full time and energy to your pet! I am happy to provide any level of care, from occasional drop-ins on standoffish cats to full-time supervision of the rowdiest puppies or neediest seniors!

About: Hello, my name is Kim, and I have spent most of my life in Roanoke, VA along with a few years in Florida. I am available full-time to care for your pets. I have extensive experience with larger dogs, having raised a Rottweiler, Cane Corso, and now a Golden Retriever. Previously, I worked at City Dogs in SW Roanoke, giving me experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes. Although I started by pet sitting for family, I now have my own home with a fenced in backyard, allowing me to care for more dogs. As a full time online student at Virginia Western, I am home most of the time, providing flexible pick-up and drop-off times. While I prefer not to do pick-ups/drop-offs before 8 AM and after 10 PM, I understand that flights can be delayed and other circumstances arise, so I strive to accommodate your needs. For meet and greets, I try to be as flexible as possible, scheduling around my busy times to ensure a calm environment for your pet. Requirements: To ensure the health and safety of all pets in my care, I require up-to-date vaccination records for all dogs. This is non-negotiable, as the well being of all our guests is our top priority. My own pets vaccination records are available for your review on her . Feeding Schedule: Feeding times are typically around 8 AM and 6-7 PM, with an additional lunchtime feeding at 12-1 PM for those who eat three times a day. I am happy to adhere to your pet’s specific feeding schedule. Dogs are fed separately to prevent accidents, and I allow an hour of rest after eating to prevent bloating. Please inform me of any allergies, as I provide a variety of treats and enjoy making frozen lick pads. What to Bring: Please bring your dog’s food to avoid upsetting their stomach with a sudden change in diet. I do have extra food and I have my pup so we always have food just in case! Additionally, bringing a dog bed, blanket, or toys that smell like home can help them settle in. I have extra bowls, beds, and toys, so don’t worry if you can’t bring everything. I do have a crate, if your dog is crate trained or prefers to sleep in it. Daily Routine: My goal is to keep the dogs happy and stimulated. We aim for 6-8 hours of outdoor play and socialization, with indoor cool down periods to prevent overheating. I also play soothing music to help anxious dogs relax. Treats are given after cool down periods, and we use this time to practice commands and keep them mentally engaged. Important Note: I do not accept dogs or puppies who are not up to date on vaccinations!! The well being of our guests is our priority! We do not want to risk any sick pups! I am also privately insured through Pet Care Insurance or PCI. For visits, please use the doorbell rather than knocking, as it helps keep the dogs calm. We look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I stay at home pretty much 24/7. I don’t work a job other than pet sitting. I am accepting dogs all days of the week! I have my own four bedroom house. The house has two empty rooms in case of boarding which I do let dogs on furniture. Also, if I don’t have a lot of dogs we all usually pile into one room. I have a fenced in backyard as well.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years and have a lifelong love for animals. As a dog owner myself with two dogs at home, I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your pets the same way you do. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, potty breaks, exercise, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I also know how reassuring it is to receive updates, so I’ll send photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay or visit to give you peace of mind. My goal is to create a fun, safe, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I treat every animal as if they were my own, and I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I currently do work full time but I do create my own schedule and am pretty flexible so we can work around the hours needed for you and your pet! I do currently have two male dogs who are 8 and 9 years old. They both are very friendly and very playful. They play with puppies and older dogs very well and they’re very diverse with sizes of dogs who they are around. If your dog is aggressive to other male dogs, this won’t be a good fit for you. However, i’m happy to have an introduction to make sure everyone is comfortable. We tend to take a lot of walks and play ball in the yard throughout the day. During the summer we swim in the pop up pool we have for the boys and get the zooms out!

“Absolutely amazing walking. She took Penny at her own page. She updated the app with pictures and updates. She accepted my request really last minute. Penny came home wagging her tail and happy and then fell right asleep from her adventure.”

Katherine S.

“Very reliable and great with our dogs. She always sent updates. Will definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve provided care for pets for quite a while, and I am looking forward to providing specific and detailed care based on owner preference to your beloved family member. I work part time currently and I’m very open to any pet care needs that my clients may have. I am looking forward to discussing this further with future clients. I have a yard at my home, I can create your dog or pet if needed, and am looking forward to finding out your specific pet care needs.

About: I have been dog sitting since my freshman year of high school to raise money for a school trip to Costa Rica that I attended in 2023. I am currently available anytime of the week. I am willing to stay overnight if needed. Or even stopping by to walk/let out the pets. I would rather not do it in my home just because I do not have a fenced in yard and I have three other dogs in my home.

“Always love leaving the pups with jess! She does long walks with them and always makes sure they’re in the shade side of the streets if it’s a hot day because I let her know they have sensitive paws.”
