Dog Walking Watts

About: I have been taking care of friends, family members animals for over 2 years now while attending college. I love giving care to their furry friends while they are away. Having animals myself I understand the need to have a trustworthy caretaker while away! I look forward to become your pets new friend! I currently work 30/32 hours a week usually during the early mornings or mid afternoons. I have usually offered early morning walks or evening walks to those in need! I am able to do overnights as well, but always check to make sure the animals will be okay while I work! I have always tried to take care of the pets in the exact way the client has asked. I am able to sit in during meals, stay to get energy out, or even squirrel watch! I always try to make the animals stay in the routine that they have known!

“Victoria was extremely friendly and responded very quickly.”

“I'm very thankful to have found Emil. I work in retail and consequently work almost every weekend. Emil walks my little chihuahua for me every Saturday and Sunday. He's very reliable and I never worry that he won't be able to make it. He also responds to any requests or questions very quickly. I wholeheartedly recommend Emil if you need someone to help care for your pups!”

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. I grew up on a farm and have always loved animals. My girls Piper, Ella and Shelby are my world. I love these dogs like they are children. They are spoiled I will admit. I also have taken care of my friends dogs for years while they have been out of town and my house as "Aunt Paige's Doggie Camp" All my dogs I have brought up from puppies. I have house trained them, crate trained them and trained them on the invisible fence for the yard. They always get lots of love and have lots of toys to play with, both inside and outside. I work from home, so I'm always here to take them out and take care of them. My dogs are always outside when it's not too hot or the weather is bad. I live on a quite street which ends in a cul-da-sak. So I will walk them at least 2 times a day The most important thing is they must get along with other dogs. I have a invisible fence in my yard and can certainly put your dog on it if they are trained on one. Otherwise I will go out with them and walk them. If they are well trained and can be lose a return on command they can play in the yard with my girls.

“Abby was great. Came over the week before to meet my dogs. She came over on time to play with the dogs in the backyard (it was too hot for a mid-day walk). The dogs looked happy in the pics and were happy when we arrived back home!”

“Thank you so much for the last minute request! Merry Christmas!”

“I was so fortunate to find Melissa on Rover. She has been caring for my dog Max for nearly 2 months, and has been terrific. Given her strong experience I feel very comfortable leaving Max in her care. She also sends the cutest Rover cards! Thanks, Melissa!”

“Dakota connects well with our dog Patrick and is able to re-direct him when he wants to just turn around and come home. Our pup can be just one small ball of over excitement and exuberance and they handle that well. Dakota has been very reliable and always lets me know if he needs to adjust the time a bit.”

About: We are a family of 4 seasoned pet sitters with a genuine love for animals. For nearly three years we have been traveling with our children across the United States, providing top-notch care for homes and pets from coast-to-coast, and back again! Pet sitting has offered a wonderful way to roadschool our children and provide them with hands-on life experience, all while caring for incredible pets and homes along the way. We are seeking long term sits of 3 months+, perfect for snowbirds and those needing support while traveling abroad. Because we travel with our kids we keep our rates low, but the level of care is never compromised. I believe the pets receive more love this way, making for a win-win all around. I work from home as a debt counselor while my wife, Jenalee, homeschools our children. We're all home most days, though she may take them out for educational activities and exploring. In either event, we'll always ensure the pets have regular attention and are never left alone beyond their comfort. We take time to understand your environment, home and pets routine. We have a safety checklist to become familiar with exits, fire extinguishers, firearms, cameras, and more. I am hyper-vigilant when it comes to safety. Things happen in homes, and we're here to see to it that your home is safe and secure. Our children are amazingly respectful. If there is a space or item that's off limits, we note it and it need not be worried about. We are so fortunate that this has worked as well as it has.

About: I have loved dogs since I was a kid! I recently have been working as a nanny and that has involved light care for pets as well, my current duties are walking the two dogs and feeding them treats and filling water bowls. I am very loving and caring. My previous job involved feeding and letting the pup out in the back yard to play and to help keep track of certain habits due to the dog having food allergies. I am so fond of animals as a whole that my future goal is to buy a house with lots of land and do free lance dog boarding! I would love to help your family with your pet’s needs! Hope to work with you soon!

About: I've been around pets my entire life and have always grown up in a home with multiple dogs and cats alike. Whenever I'm home, I'm the primary caregiver, helping with feeding, walks, exercise, playtime, grooming, and making sure they're happy and comfortable. I've also cared for friends' dogs and cats through drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays while they were away. As a college athlete, I know how important consistency and responsibility are, and I'll care for your dog with the same attention and love I give my own. I'm currently a full-time student completing my coursework online while training as a collegiate swimmer and track athlete. My practice schedule varies throughout the year, but outside of practice I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable care. I always communicate my availability clearly and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. When I'm with your pet, they'll receive my full attention and plenty of exercise, affection, and care. At this time I provide care in my clients' homes, where pets are most comfortable and can stay in their normal routines. I understand how important consistency is for animals, so I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, and any house rules you provide. I treat every home with respect, send regular updates and photos, and always make your pet's safety and well-being my top priority.

About: I’ve always had animals in my younger life from cats to dogs, and even though I only have a cat I continue to love dogs. My current housing situation allows me to share dog sitting and caring of his clients dogs (ages 9 months to 14 years) for the last ten years. Since then I have asked my neighbors for tending to the needs of their dogs be it from a 5 mile walk on and off leash to a 100 yard potty break in addition to giving medications. I’m currently working part time three days a week and an occasional Saturday, so I have the time to care and interact for your furry friend. I live in a neighborhood with easy access to the Rivanna trails and a road trip access to a farm with woods in Earlysville for running in fields. I also have a very tolerant cat who actually enjoys dogs staying with me because she’s learned that visiting dogs often get a treat she’s earned one too. My house has hardwood floors on the first floor throughout access to the carpeted lower level is through a door. The dog would have free range of the house while we were at home and unless he/she is accustomed to be crated.

About: I’ve been dog-sitting for three neighbors for over five years and have also provided cat care. I own two Great Danes and previously had a cat, so I’m comfortable with large breeds, daily routines, and attentive care. I’m patient, experienced, and confident caring for both energetic pets and seniors. As a college student, I plan my pet care around my class schedule and have plenty of availability outside of class times. I’m free most mornings, evenings, and weekends. My classes are spread out during the day, which allows me to provide consistent check-ins, walks, feedings, and quality time while still maintaining a reliable routine for each pet. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable and routines stay consistent.

I respect each home and communicate regularly with updates so owners feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for.

About: Hi! I’m Ovi. If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your beloved pet, I’d love to support you. I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years, and it’s truly one of my greatest joys. Since I was a child, my grandmother always reminded me that “God spelled backwards is Dog,” and that sentiment has stayed with me my entire life. Animals have always held a special place in my heart. My hobbies include horseback riding, watching Studio Ghibli movies, herbalism, movement practices, and spending time in nature. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and in-home pet sitting. I’m reliable, communicative, and always attentive to the unique needs of your pet. References are available upon request. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member(s)! 🐾🤍 Pet care fits into my routine very naturally. It really depends on the week as my schedule has flexibility built in, so I’m able to accommodate a variety of needs. Feel free to book or send a request with your preferred dates and we can go from there! Keeping your pet safe is my first priority. I consistently follow necessary protocol such as checking fence gates before letting your dog outside, locking doors, making sure I don’t step outside without a key, and doing a final check that things are in order before leaving your home. My preference is to leave your home in a better condition than when I found it.
