Dog Walkers in Wilderness Corner, VA

“After we had an awful first experience with rover with another Dog Walker, Deborah restored our faith in this service. What an incredible human, let alone dog walker. Consistent, great communication, and our dog adores her. I would go back to her 10 times out of 10!”

About: We are those people our friends and family call to care for their fur babies. Animals have been a part of our lives growing up. We do have a 5 year old who too shares our love for animals. We work from home, our schedule allows us to take the pups out as many times as they need. As well as cuddle breaks and belly rubs. We are an animal loving family, we have two dogs of our own. Our dogs get along with other dogs. We like to consider our dogs very laid back and chill. But if you prefer for the dogs to remain separate that is not a problem at all. We do have a large yard, it is not fenced but we will always be sure to leash up before we go out.

About: I have been looking after all kinds of dogs for 8 years, my dogs, my friends dogs, and neighbors dogs. It has been good experience with all the different dogs i have watched. Im working part time at the moment, so I will have plenty of free time to spend with your fur babies and make sure they arnt sad when your gone. I have an open yard and walk my dogs making sure they get plenty outside time, and will do the same with your dogs just like I would mine.

“My dog loves her! She is really patient and kind and definitely at one with dogs!❤️”

About: I have had pets all of my life. I currently have 3 dogs, a Pomeranian/Westie mix, a Husky/Pitbull mix, and a Staffordshire terrier. As well as fish. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds. Cats, fish, and most reptiles. I have owned cats in the past and I have family who have cats. I have cared for lizards and bearded dragons. I always follow the owners instructions on care. I have experience walking, playing with, and caring for animals. Administering medication, and basic first aid. I am patient when meeting a new animal. I allow them to take their time to warm up to me, I let them come to me vs me approaching them. Please let me know if any allergies, current injuries, medications, ect that I may need to be aware of. As well as any certain quirks they may have, for example some cats like to try and escape , dog can jump over the fence, they hate their neck touched, and so on. This is all so I can make sure your pet is comfortable and receives the best care! I always treat pets like they are my own, with love and kindness. I love getting to know each one’s personality! It truly is a joy to have an animal warm up to you and open up. I am a stay at home mom, so my schedule is usually pretty flexible. I do like to keep my pet care within a certain distance radius of my home. I have a fenced in dog run attached to my house where the dogs can go outside to play and go potty. I always make sure my dogs as well as others are harnessed and leashed prior to going outside. I make sure there are no hazards in the home that could hurt the animal in any way.

About: I play with animals not just do what is asked to be done by the owner. I make sure they are loved and well cared for. I am super flexible as well! I am a college student who works from home and isn’t currently employed anywhere else so my schedule is very flexible for people! I like to get out of the house and do something productive! I will make sure the pets all feel safe and not threatened. That they can feel comfortable with their same routines while there owner is away and can have some fun too!

About: I have always had cats and dogs since I was a child, I currently own two cats with my boyfriend. I have a wide array of experience with animals including nine years of horseback riding, raising three litters of bottle baby kittens successfully, caring for my own special needs senior cat with advanced heart disease and stomatitis, as well as dog sitting regularly for four years! I have worked with bloodhounds, poodle mixes, boxers, as well as yorkie mixes. I fostered animals for SPCA for a year in 2019 before the pandemic, through them I worked with a multitude of cats in my home and enjoyed the process of advocating for, as well as finding forever homes for all of my foster babies. Additionally, I volunteered at a veterinary clinic for about a year in high school through a work program that my school offered, through this experience as well as my personal experience with my special needs baby I feel extremely comfortable with animals with medical needs. I am currently a full time student, and my schedule changes every semester. As of today, (07/15/2025) I am on summer break and am available every weekday. During a drop in visit, I will spend a few minutes tending to your animals. If there are toys available, I am happy to spend this time playing, or just chilling giving some good snuggles until it’s time to go. As an owner of a runner myself, I am fairly confident in my abilities to keep your escape artists indoors!

“We feel very fortunate to have met Shannon, she's wonderful! Reliable, trust worthy, and full of great energy. She always takes her time with our doggo and makes each visit special. Also, we very much appreciate her professional background in both firefighting and emergency medical services as it speaks to her general character and mindset, and provides us peace-of-mind that if an emergency situation were to occur, our boy is in the best hands possible.”

About: I absolutely adore any and all furry friends, no matter the shape or size! Since I was a freshman in high school, I've been taking care of dogs belonging to friends and family, including my own. I have experience providing oral medication to dogs whether directly or through food/treats, as well as more common practices like walking, playing, and feeding, especially those with specific/strict diets. I am working part-time, so there's not a lot of interference that gets in the way of my care for your pets! I am someone who enjoys a set routine and will ensure that your pets do not have to wait for care. Your furry family is my top priority! I put safety and comfortability for your pets as my number one priority while also respecting your personal home space as well. It's important for you and your pet to feel safe with me to build connection and respect!

“Thank you, Ashley!”

About: Our pets are our family and they deserve to be treated as such. We take them into our homes and love them as an extension of our own being, much like we do our own children. I've spent my life working with and advocating for the care and well being of our family pets. Over the last twenty years I've worked with animal shelters, rescue organizations, animal hospitals, and boarding facilities. My clients have looked to me for personal care and attention to their furry loved ones, and I pride myself on embracing that responsibility. Much like children, our pets need a level of comfort and compassion in their daily care that they cannot provide for themselves. I am an advocate for their needs and am attentive to their needs, desires, and quirks. Does Logan take his medicine with ham better than he does with peanut butter? No problem! Lets wrap these babies up and serve him a feast! Does Ollie go bananas over a new tennis ball? Sure! How's a fresh Wilson sound? Is Ike special needs? Hey, my little guy is too - I can relate. Rather than seeing our fur babies particular quirks and habits as obstacles, I see them as opportunities in which I can provide a more compassionate level of care. While we hope our pets miss us when we're gone, my goal is that they not be sad, scared, or stressed. I want them to see me as their newest friend. To me, they're all the goodest boys and girls, and they deserve all the love and attention I can manage.

“Stephanie has been my go to walker for months. She is extremely reliable, trustworthy, responsible, and I know my puppy loves to see her. She is professional and has been great at working around my schedule. It has been a relief on the days I’m away from my puppy knowing she will be there to check in on, play with, and walk him. She has also been helpful with advice or suggestions for my puppy, as I am a first time puppy owner. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and reliable to sit or walk their dog. I look forward to continuing to use her walking service.”
