Dog Walking in Westover Hills, Richmond, VA

“Kade was SO great with Kelso! This was my first time using Rover and I felt so much better knowing my pup was in good hands. Kade is very communicative, sent lots of pics, and went above and beyond - taking a package in and making sure my pup Kelso has enough water. Definitely recommend!!”

“Kate was fabulous with my dog and my roommate's dog from the very beginning! My girl is usually loud and unfriendly with strangers but warmed up to Kate almost immediately. Everything about the experience was wonderful and I'd absolutely recommend Kate.”

“Kristen was a life saver! I pulled a back muscle this morning and could hardly walk. Kristen was able to fit me in and make sure my pup got a good walk.”

Emma B.

“Kaylee was excellent :) Awesome, proactive, and clear communication. I knew my anxious old girl Lacey was in good hands, and she had a great outing while I was away all day on a trip. Lacey has happy when I returned. I would absolutely hire Kaylee again in a heartbeat!”

About: I’ve helped take care pets of my own, my moms, friends, & others who knew of me reliably for 16 years. I do it all I currently work part time and soon to be none so I’ll have plenty of time for your pets to be cared for and loved I will rely on how things work in your house and work based off of your pets schedule. Your pets safety is my first priority

“I forgot to book my walks for the week and I work 12 hour shifts, so it is imperative that my tiny guy ( who refuses to go inside on puppy pads) be taken out. Bridgette saved the day, even with such short notice. My dog also loves her. I definitely recommend her to anyone.”

Christine D.

“Tatum walked our dog for three consecutive mornings and did a wonderful job! Happy dog and happy owner! I highly recommend Tatum.”

Rebecca H.

“As always, had a great experience with Chloe. My two dogs were happy to see her, and she was able to accommodate their sickness with a couple extra care steps. She's super easy to work with and great with the pets.”

Zach J.

“Thank you, Caitlyn!!! We appreciate you so much!”

About: “Good enough” care isn’t good enough for your pet. You deserve someone who communicates, follows through, and doesn’t treat your pet like a side hustle. Someone invested in keeping your pet safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. And the experience to do it even in unexpected circumstances. As the pet parent to a medical fragile dog myself, I know how hard it is to trust a stranger with the furry members of your family. I’m a lifelong dog person and a first-time Rover-er, but not new to responsible, informed care. I have hands-on experience and professional training in leash skills, fear-free methods, enrichment, and working with anxious, spicy, or high-energy pups. I work from home and have a flexible weekday schedule. I’m fully available for walks and drop-ins Monday through Friday before 4pm. I also have some evening and weekend availability (just check the calendar). Once we’ve gotten to know each other, I do offer house sitting and boarding for existing clients who need ongoing support. These days I live with a clingy rescue pit and the occasional foster dog. I volunteer regularly at RACC, walking dogs of every size, breed, and temperament—from skittish lapdogs to 100-lb giants trying to live out their sled-dogs fantasies. I’ve completed training in dog handling and behavior, and I have plenty of experience with pups who need a little extra patience, skill-building, or positive-reinforcement structure. Whether your dog needs routine and predictability, leash training, desensitization, enrichment, or just a cozy check-in and some companionship, I tailor care to fit them (and you). Communication is a big deal to me You’ll always know how things are going, and yes, there will be photo updates. Possibly too many. You’ve been warned. If you’re looking for someone who shows up, tunes in, and gives your dog the love they deserve while you’re away. I’m your person. Can’t wait to meet your good boy or girl (or little menace with a personal vendetta against the Amazon driver). I work part-time with a lot of weekday flexibility, especially before 4 pm. Some evening and weekend availability too. If possible, I'd love to meet your pup before we become best friends. Your dog’s care is always tailored to their personality, needs, and your preferences. If they thrive on routine, we’ll stick to their neighborhood route like clockwork. If they need leash practice, we’ll focus on skills. If they need more mental stimulation, I’ve got enrichment exercises, training games, and treat puzzles ready to go. If your dog needs exposure and socialization, we can head to a public park for controlled distance desensitization and positive reinforcement. And if they’ve got energy to burn, we’ll hit the trails for a hike that leaves us both happily exhausted. For drop-in visits, I can keep things chill or playful but always structured. I’m happy to work on crate manners, polite doorway exits, and other small habits that make a big difference. Or we can just hang out. Cuddles (if that’s their vibe), companionship, a good sniff around the yard, and a reminder that even when you’re away, someone still loves them a lot. Safety is always my top priority. Your dog will never be off-leash outside the home, and they’ll always be supervised, even if we’re just doing yard zoomies or sunbathing like royalty.

About: I have had animals my entire life. I currently have 2 cats of my own; Binx and Luci. I have 10+ years of dog and cat sitting experience. I am an animal lover and want to take care of your pets so you won’t have to worry! My own cat has medical issues so I am comfortable giving oral medications to pets. I can also do house sitting things like watering plants, getting the mail, etc… I would love to care for your pets! **I am a teacher and have open availability in June and July but my schedule will change come August so I cannot do mid day drops in long term!** I am a teacher and have my summers and breaks off and would love to spend them taking care of your pets! I can also intermittently dog walk or pet sit during the school year. I am incredibly responsible and respectful. I am also a huge animal lover and know how to care for animals. I have a high standard for who takes care of my pets and I promise to deliver the same level of care I would expect for my own pets!

“William is the absolute BEST. Our 2 yr old Lucy loved him. She got so excited when he came to walk her. William is a very easy going, calm, gentle and overall good person who obviously connects well and quickly with animals. I highly recommend him and his quality. Your furry friend will be in excellent hands.”

About: I first began pet-sitting with dogs & cats around my neighborhood when I was 11, and since then I’ve met a wide array of pet personalities that I’ve learned to handle with the utmost care and respect. I’m a college student working part-time this summer, so I have plenty of time to spend taking care of furry friend(s)! My availability is open on the weekends, as well as Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Although I’m typically busy Tuesday and Thursday evenings, I can shift my schedule around to accommodate your pet’s needs. I have a sweet Calico named Mimi at home who I love to brush and feed daily, with special attention devoted to her diet and litter since she has a medical condition. For any pet, I’d be willing to devote as much care and energy as I would for my own because I try to provide all animals I encounter with the love and respect they deserve. I take my client’s boundaries around their homes and pets very seriously, and I do my best to follow the instructions provided to a tee.

About: I'm Recently retired, I've owned and cared for pets most of my natural life. From house training to hospice care, I've lived thru it all. Freshly retired, I've got lots of free time to care for your pets. I'm looking forward to meeting and caring for your awesomely precious pet! I have a large fenced in yard and one very friendly mini- Dachshund. I consider pets to be family members, and always treat them as such.

About: I have always had pets growing up from dogs of different sizes to bunnies and bird. Recently I have been taking care of my dog Dutch. He suffered from seizures all his life, so I have experience in bigger dogs and one with health issues. I have full availability. It may change due possibly picking up a part time job as I am preparing for a year long college course. Putting my dog through behavioral courses has helped me with heel training. So walking dogs of any size won't be an issue for me. Especially with it being so hot recently making sure the asphalt isn't too hot and not keeping dogs out for too long.

“My dog Winnie seems to really love Ninotchka! She has been very reliable and kind and has taken great care of Winnie on their walks together!”

“Thank you so much for keep my girls cool on this hot day! Please help yourself to a La croix in the fridge to help cool yourself and daughter down as well if you need.”
