Dog Walkers in Villboro, VA

About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was little, around 11 years old, but have lived with cats since I was 2 years old. I do have a senior cat, and ferret. Im experienced in giving cats, dogs and ferrets medication for health issues they have had in the past. I’m not expert in everything, but I’m not afraid to learn! I’m currently working full time, but enjoy a busy schedule and a good routine. If I need a specific day off, I can work it out. I’ve been working since I was 14, it has made me more responsible, reliable, and determined. I have two cats, and one ferret, I'm fully responsible for them. I take care of their daily care, vet visits, trim their nails, give them baths, and everything in between. They have been under my care for more than 5 years. I’ve had experience with rodents, birds, and dogs.

“Shyanne was so patient and kind with my dog Ronnie. She paid close attention to all the details and was so nice to talk to. I really appreciated the care she showed. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: We provide care in our home and treat your babies like our own. We walk them multiple times a day, love on them, take them on field trips when possible, we spoil them rotten. We can help with crate training, potty training, house Manners etc. We have experience with Senior dogs ( most recent passed this December 2024 at 15 years old). I have had diabetic pets so am willing to administer meds as required. I have volunteered with a local rescue for 4 years now and have fostered for that long as well and have experience dealing with many difficult behaviors like resource guarding, counter surfing and more. Here at Bark n Kuddles we are a husband and Wife team so our dogs are very rarely alone. I teach high school so during the school day my husband takes the pups on walks, and outings and provides play time and snuggle time. When I am home we share the responsibilities and our kids are trained so they love on your babies too but they know boundaries and are very good at being mini pack leaders. The only time your pet would be alone is if we had to go somewhere as a family where dogs could not come but we have two pups of our own to keep them company but again that is rare that someone is not home. We only take one or two clients at a time as we have a small home but we take the dogs out on walks (Distance depends on the dogs need but could be 2 to 3 miles easily) and I have access to a big fenced in yard that my family owns should dogs need off leash time and play time (under our watch at all times of course). We do crate dogs when home alone for their safety and to protect the house but they get yummy kongs with frozen treats and other treats as long as owner is ok with it. We love on them how the pups want to be loved on. If they want to lay next to us we let them. If they prefer to just chill off to the side that's all good too. We also follow all owners instructions whether in our home or yours and give your baby the attention they need to keep them happy and safe while you are gone.

“Holly is amazing. She is so patient with my senior dog l, who is a giant bundle of nerves around new people. She takes good care of him and always encourages him even when he isn't sure of himself. A big thank you to Holly for giving me piece of mind while i am at work. I highly recommend her dog walking services.”

About: I have been on Rover for about 4 years, but I have had dogs my entire life. Recently returning after giving myself time to settle (moved from CA to VA). I absolutely love dogs and plan to open my own dog daycare by the end of 2026🤞🏾! My last dog was a Neapolitan Mastiff, now I have a golden doodle, Lab, and Rat terrier mix, so I have a range of breed and size experience. Also love large dogs, mine gets along well with all and loves interaction with other dogs. I can’t wait to meet your adorable pup! I have lots of toys and a decent sized house with a large fenced yard. My pup loves to play outside, so I will let them out to play frequently. I have an entire front room and basement dedicated as the puppy play areas but they have the ability to free roam whichever floor I am sitting on at that moment☺️. The pups are only allowed upstairs or in my room when I am (for safety reasons.) I work from home 100% of the time! Completely free in between meetings and looking forward caring for your pets while you are away or at work 🙂. I provide flexibility with drop off and pickup times, ranging from 6am to 10pm. My pups are 4 and 5 and very playful, so your pup will get a lot of their energy out by the time you pick up🙂. I have 3 wire crates and 2 heavy duty crates, but encourage you to bring your pups crate (if foldable) so they have their own area that feels like home. I try to mimic sleeping arrangements made at home, whether that is in my room, the dog room, or crated. If your pup is more anxious, I set 1:1 time aside to try to calm them down and relieve as much stress as I can. I also have a calming chews, oils, and scents if needed and will assess as needed. Booking info: I do require meet and greets to ensure the safety of all pets. Pets that are found to be destructive or display aggression toward myself or other pets will not be allowed to book for future stays. I try my best to accommodate all pups, but in doing so I still need to protect myself and all fur babies that stay with me☺️

“Madison is the best! She is always prompt, communicative, and a pleasure to work with. She even makes homemade dog treats for my dog! (Without me asking). Highly recommend, though be careful, your fur babies may end up being disappointed that its you walking through the door and not Madison!”

About: Hello, my name is Rylie! I am such a dog lover! Although I never owned one myself, I enjoy taking care of others to fill that void. I have been dog sitting since I was about 10 years old for multiple neighbors. Many would describe me as responsible and passionate since a very young age. I even attended many dog training classes for a puppy I babysat for two years. I am excited to continue my journey of taking care of dogs and other animals and ensure that owners will have enjoy time away without any stresses. I have lots of available time throughout the day to take pets on walks, feed, and check up on. I can ensure you that your pets are my top priority. The first and last thing I do before leaving a client’s house is checking the perimeters of the house to make sure assure there were no accidents made. I make sure there’s nothing your pets can get a hold of and chew on while I am taking care of them.

“Paige was a huge help with our dogs (German Shepherd and Chihuahua). Our usual walker was on vacation and Paige came highly recommended by our usual dog walker. She was very flexible with our dog walking budget and made me feel very comfortable. Paige exceeded expectations and the dogs loved her.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 16. From neighbors to friends, I love taking care of animals and giving them what they need. I am currently unemployed so I can check in multiple times a day throughout the week. I do prefer mornings and evenings instead of nights I prefer taking care of pets in my client’s home. I will follow the instructions my client provides for how their pet needs to be treated.

About: I have 15+ years of experience with Labrador, Weimaraner, Poodle, and Schnauzer. I offer walks and in-home sitting only, with my 3 years old son. I work best with friendly, kid-safe dogs and provide loving, reliable care in your pet’s own space. I’m available every day during daylight hours for walks and in-home sitting. I do not offer evening or after dark visits or walks for safety and comfort. I care for pets in their home by following your instructions closely and keeping their routine. I bring my 3 years old son , so I work only with kid-friendly pets. I focus on safety, cleanliness, and making sure your pet feels secure and loved in their familiar space.

About: I enjoy being around animals, fur babies are the sweetest. I try my best to make sure they are comfortable around me and not push them to like me right away, I am so use to watching my own pets that now that my dogs have passed I have all this time available. My routine stays the same for me. Providing food water, exercise, walks are amazing for pets to help with their mood. Clear countertops to ensure dogs don’t have access to garage bags, even if I’m in a fence yard supervise pets during outdoor activities. Very mindful of potential hazards. Provide a comfortable environment for the pet.

“Sarah has done a fantastic job of taking care of Eli, making sure that he was well walked, played with, and loved. I would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone.”

“Heather was absolutely fantastic with my 2 dogs. She kept me up to date daily and was able to help me out in a last minute situation. This was the first time leaving my dogs with anyone and they loved Heather. I will definitely be using her again in the future.”

About: I have house/dog sat for 7+ years now around my old neighborhood. I have cared for pets (cats and dogs) of many ages and breeds. I am experienced with giving your fur babies the medications that they may need and the amount of exercise they require. I am experienced with caring for young and old dogs and will personalize care however you prefer. My pup requires a long walk every day so I am used to walking long distances if needed; it is completely up to you to decide! I have a SUPER friendly boxer. He plays very well with other dogs, big and small. He loves all dogs, humans, cats, you name it. I also currently foster for a Belgian Malinois rescue and have a ~2yo mal foster. She is also friendly and does well with dogs but prefers neutrality. If your dog isn’t friendly or prefers alone time, that is also fine! I am easily able to separate dogs so that they can have a neutral environment. I work from home currently, so I am available to take the pups out whenever they need. My dogs usually get a long walk (1-4 miles) and any dogs I watch are welcome to join! If they cannot handle a longer walk they can get a shorter walk before or after my dog’s walk. I leave for about an hour a day to work out or run errands. At most I’m gone 2 hours from my house. I live in a neighborhood and have a semi large yard. My yard is not fenced but I have long lines (leashes) that I will take your dog out on to run and get exercise if they do not prefer walks. They will always be supervised and on-leash outside to prevent any accidents!

About: I’ve taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. I work full time at a grooming salon as a pet bather. And I have experience working at an animal hospital and a pet sitting company. I’m able to watch any sized dog and any age from puppies to seniors. I also offer simple grooming services! I regularly take multiple dogs on hikes for at least 1 hour and am used to watching large groups of dogs at a time I’m currently working full time, 5 days a week. I am free all day Tuesday, and Sunday. But I’m also free after 4pm any other day . I can pet sit overnight any day and do drop in visits in the morning, evening, and at night. I am unable to board dogs at my own home but at a clients home I can take your dogs for both short and long walks. I can even take them to a park for a nature hike. I will feed them at their scheduled times and if wanted by owners I can crate them. If medication is needed I am comfortable with giving it to them. I will give them plenty of love and lots of playtime. If wanted I can also give nail trims, brushing, ear cleaning and baths as I work full time as a pet bather.

About: I have had family pets my entire life. I currently have one pup at home, and often take care of family and friends’ pets while they are out of town! I work from 8 to 3, and am available to take care of pets before and after work on weekdays. My weekends are completely free and I stay local for holidays! I am off during the summer so I am available whenever you need me! I am very detail oriented when taking care of peoples pets, because I know how I want my fur baby to be treated! I also pay close attention to the mood of animals when taking care of them to ensure the best possible interaction.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I have cared for them when they have been at there very best and worst and given them the most love. I’m currently a senior in high school but I only go for a couple hours a day. I also work part time at before and after care. I’m mostly looking for times to fill in during my free time, including during break and over the summer. I will make sure that everything thing is safe in the area for that pet. And they have everything they need during my time with them.
