Dog Walking Virginiatown

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life—from growing up with family pets to caring for my own as an adult—giving me years of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of their needs, behavior, and personalities. I’m a true dog-person and absolutely love being around them—they bring so much joy and companionship to everyday life. Sadly, I’ve had two of my own dogs pass away after living long, happy lives, but through that, I’ve gained valuable experience in providing the special care and attention older dogs often need. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. 💞 First time using Rover?

I love caring for humans and pets alike, and would love to walk and/or board your sweet fur-babe while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom with a lovable Shih Tzu of my own, caring for pets is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day and already spend lots of time walking, playing, and giving attention to my dog—so welcoming your furry friend into our routine comes naturally and with lots of love. I intentionally keep my bookings limited so each dog gets plenty of individual attention and feels like part of the family. At our home, every fur-babe is welcomed like a member of our family. Upon arrival, they’ll be given time to explore and settle in comfortably, at their own pace. I strive to create a warm, stress-free environment filled with cozy nooks, comfy beds, and plenty of playtime in our large back yard. The neighborhood also has a large park I can walk them to for some exercise and extra sunshine. I’ll ensure they have a familiar routine and are given lots of attention, from gentle belly rubs, to snuggles on the couch. I love sending photos and updates to keep you connected! You can rest assured knowing your pet is happy, safe, and surrounded by love while you’re away. Pets can sleep in an enclosed area with blankets and a bed or in a crate, if preferred.

“John went above and beyond for our Rose while we were out of town for 9 days during the holidays. Always taking the time to make sure rose was comfortable with him, took her on longer walks, was consistently on time so she could stay in her routine. I’d love to work with John again!”

“I have only been using Cay for a couple of weeks now, but so far she has been very consistent and when one of us have something that comes up, we rearrange our schedules together. My dog, Wrangler, loves her and looks so forward to his walks with Cay! Several neighbors have commented how beautifully they walk together. Thank you, Cay!”

About: I’ve had many years of working with animals not just dogs. One of my very first jobs in high school was working at a grooming shop where I would bathe dogs. I have experience with little and big dogs and I’m not intimidated by either. All dogs deserve love and treats. I grew up with two dogs and I currently have an 11 year old Staffordshire terrier. I’m currently working part time as a caregiver. I’ve been doing that for about five years now and I also go to school. I am studying to become a nurse. So I’m just looking for something that is simple and flexible. I don’t do boarding care. I strictly just want to help take dogs out on walks or just come and play with them for a little so they’re not home alone all day. my dog is friendly with others, but will not be included in the service. He is old and retired. If you know what I mean, he likes his sleep.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats before for friends and family, I also take care of my own! They’re my whole world!

About: I've taken care of pets ever since I was 11 years old. I've dog-sat and house-sat for friends, family, and neighbors. I've volunteered at the Placer SPCA, where spent my time training dogs, cleaning, and offering companionship to dogs in need of a home. I've also worked at a dog grooming salon, my position being a professional dog bather. I learned not only how to effectively clean and groom dogs and cats, but also how to handle aggressive dogs, scared dogs, and disabled dogs of all ages and sizes. I am currently attending Sierra Community College, but plan my stays and visits around my classes. I can do multiple drop-ins and am comfortable spending nights. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I follow all instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding, walks, meds, or crate time. I keep things clean, calm, and consistent so your pet stays safe and happy while you’re away.

“Ella has been so helpful with our dog while my partner was out of the country and I was stuck working in office all week. She was always on time, provided pictures and feedback on the visit and more importantly, our little girl seems to love her company. A++++”

About: Having animals ranging in all ages since I was 5 has definitely helped but also helping friends and family since the age of 13 has been the best experience. I am available 24/7, our animals are just as important as us so I believe in having time for them whenever you or them may need it. Always following directions given by owner and doing thorough checks throughout the time I am with your 4 legged family. Staying aware of surroundings when out and about in walks.

I typically work 4-6 hour shifts in the morning/afternoon. My calendar can usually be adapted, just communicate! My favorite part about this service is that | get build a bond with each pet, it's a privilege building their trust and getting to learn all about their eccentricities.

About: I have worked with Dogs, rabbits, hamsters, rats, and cats Since I was 15 years old. I love them all. I am a retired teacher.I have a deep love and respect for all animals!

I am comfortable staying in other peoples houses as long as it is in a safe area. Your pet will receive quality attention, dog walking, and I have experience with giving medication. I also love cats and small animals.

About: Growing up I have always had animals , mostly big dogs so I am not scared of a big breed. I currently have 2 spayed female cats. I know the importance of giving care to animals as well as their tells that they need to be left alone. I have also rehomed many stray cats in my neighborhood (15+) and have even gotten some spayed. I am looking to do pet care on the side for some extra money. I am a full time college student (online) and being able to get some extra money for grad school is what I am searching for. I typically work throughout the week 7 hours at most. However I do have a partner that is home a couple hours earlier then I. If scheduled in advance I can adjust my schedule to. are you feel comfortable. I am a manager at my job so schedule adjustment is typically easier for me. I have a large yard, however it is not fenced so I could walk the dog on leash. My house has two separate rooms, spacing animals apart is no issue. I typically feed my own animals two times a day. I can provide walks , potty breaks, feeding, and indoor play.
