Dog Walkers in Wildwood Farms, VA

About: I've had pets since I was a little girl. During college, I worked as a Veterinary Assistant as a part-time job and have always pet sit. I have a lot of free time during this stage of my life and my work is extremely flexible. I would love to take care of your animals while you're away! I have my own small online business so my schedules are flexible and I have a lot of free time! I'm available 7 days a week and can arrange to pet sit with short (one day) notice :) I have half an acre of wooden fenced back yard and a large 20' by 20' composite deck that was built just last year. I will take lots of pictures and I am happy to take care of puppies too. I have taken the Cat and Dog First Aid course offered by American Red Cross so I understand the basics of providing first aid care for your cat or dog, as well as how to care for them in most common emergency situations.

“Carlita is super responsible, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. The dogs love her and we truly appreciate how she's been able to help us get their leash training back on track after a lazy winter. Thanks for being a great new best friend to the pups!”

About: I’ve been taking care of fur babies since I was 12. I treat every fur baby with the upmost kindness, care, and compassion. Your baby will be in good hands. I have an open availability. I am available for boarding throughout the week and weekends. I can also walk your baby as needed. Whatever you need, I’m here. I have a large fenced in yard and a poodle to keep your baby in good company. There is a dog park down the road from me and plenty of area to take walks.

“Abby was wonderful with our pup! It was our first time having a walker stop by since adopting him, and Abby put us at complete ease and was excellent through and through. Will def be a repeat booker! :)”

About: Hi! I’m MacKenzie, your pet’s new best friend and part-time squirrel scout. While I might not have a fancy pet-sitting degree, I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, and my own dog (a.k.a. my four-legged child) has taught me plenty—especially about basic training, reactivity, and the art of treating every leaf like it’s a masterpiece. I’m also a pro at giving meds and following care instructions to a T, so your pet’s routine won’t miss a beat. Plus, as an avid hiker, I’m more than happy to take active pups on day hikes for a little extra adventure! I get that every walk is a big deal, every squirrel is a personal nemesis, and if there’s a cat involved, they’re probably running the household. And yes, I’m here for my own steps too, because walking is my therapy! I'm currently in between full-time jobs, so I have ample flexibility for pet care throughout the week—perfect for midday walks, medication administration, or just dropping by to say “hello”! If your pet lives more than 30 minutes from Petersburg, they should be comfortable being home alone for up to 8 hours once I return to full-time work. For now, my schedule is wide open, especially on weekends! Routine is important to me, and it’s no doubt important to your pets! My primary goal is always to limit the amount of change, so feeding and potty break times will be strictly adhered to. If there’s valuable training you’ve worked hard to implement, it won’t go to waste! Don’t be shy about letting me know exactly which cues and commands to use, and any other little personality quirks I should know about.

About: Hello, I’m Max! I’d love to care for your fur babies. I have experience with a wide variety of animals. I currently own a one year old Red-Nose Pitbull and been working with him since he was a few weeks old. He’s one of the many dogs that I’ve trained throughout my life. I’d love to experience life’s opportunities with your Paw-some companion! I’m currently a Substitute Teacher for CCPS so during the summer I have full availability to care for your babies. During the school year I’m available weekends, with weekdays have a bit more of a limited schedule. I feel as though it’s best to not only physically stimulate animals, but also mentally. Whether it be going for walks, training, mental exercises, or something as simple as love, I’m committed to do it all.

About: Been feeling stressed about your dog cooped up at home? Want your cat to judge a new caretaker in their life? Look no further! I come from an agriculture background, which has allowed me to care for all kinds of pets. Most importantly, I’ve cared for cats & dogs during all their life stages. From puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats — I know what it takes to administer love and care during all developmental stages of life! My heart is full when I get to see either a happy dog tail-wag and smile, or a purrfectly content cat make biscuits. I’ll work with your dog to improve their commands and get their daily zoomies out; your cat will enjoy company and simulating feline friendly games. I’ll also have their bathroom and medical needs taken care of. I’ll make sure to provide a safe environment for everyone. I will care for your pet according to your instructions. If I am at your home, I will abide by your house rules and care for your pet accordingly. Your pet will be safe and cared for. I have a flexible schedule, so I can work with your schedule to best serve your family! At this time I am not hosting animals in my home. I will do house visits and walks. I prefer to take your pet on routes they are familiar with to start. After getting to know your pet, I can take them on walks in new environments to encourage new training opportunities. Please disclose if your pet has ever been aggressive or experiences severe anxiety behaviors. I want to provide a safe environment for your fur baby and myself by being aware of any sensitivities or triggers. Your pet will receive top care while being set up for success when spending time with me! Book with me & I’ll help make your life a little less stressful — your pet has a friend in me! I have a very flexible schedule and can take care of your pets in the afternoon or evenings during Monday-Friday. With ample notice, I can even take care of your pet in the mornings Monday-Friday. On weekends, I can take care of your pet at any time! I’ll make sure to provide a safe environment for everyone. I will care for your pet according to your instructions. If I am at your home, I will abide by your house rules and care for your pet accordingly. Your pet will be safe and cared for in my care.

About: I have a few dogs at my house already but I've also been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I used to volunteer at rescues. My family also has many pets and farm animals I help take care of these include fish, hamsters, and budgies. I'm currently in college right now studying life science but I have plenty of free time. During that time I'd like to take care of animals. I like to take care of your pets however you like them taken care of. I'll wake up early for morning walks or stay up late to clean up after them.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I currently have a working dog of my own. I’ve had a long journey when coming to training her. I take care of my pet everyday with love, training and time out exploring the world. We’re constantly trying something new everyday with new people and animals. I will make sure the environment is safe and secure. I always double check when it comes to the safety of others. I will accommodate where needed.

“Emily was simply outstanding. She went above and beyond to take care of my dog and kept me up to date on everything happening with her. I would absolutely recommend her 100% to anyone who needs dog care/services!”

About: Ive been around dogs and cats my entire life, as well as pet sitting for family and friends. From small and big, to old and young, even the silly or shy. My empathy for animals will make sure your pet is comfortable while their mom or dad is away, because our pets are our family!! I am currently in school full time and looking for a part time job. But as of currently i’m 100% free to take care of your furry friends! Whether in my home or a client's, I always prioritize a pet’s safety. I do a walk-through of the space to remove hazards, secure doors and gates, and ensure all supplies (like food, meds, leashes) are stored safely and used correctly. I also follow all feeding and medication instructions carefully and never leave pets unsupervised in risky situations. Trust starts with clear communication. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and quirks. I offer regular updates, photos, and check-ins so pet parents feel connected and confident. I treat every pet like family, earning their trust with patience, calm energy, and lots of affection. At my home, I maintain a quiet, pet-friendly space with comfy bedding, clean bowls, and plenty of playtime and cuddles. In clients' homes, I respect their routines and try to keep everything consistent to reduce stress. I bring a calm, warm presence so pets feel secure and relaxed—whether they’re in their own space or mine.

About: I have taken care of dogs the most since childhood. Including puppies and female dogs in heat. Also I have an old man cat currently. I currently have my own business where I make my own schedule (but do travel) therefore I am pretty flexible at times with my availability. I will gladly walk your dog as much as they need and give them all the attention they require like they are my own pets.

About: Hello, my name is Taijah and I’m a huge animal lover! I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life and they are a big passion of mine. I’ve spent several years on a farm taking care of dogs, horses, and chickens. I currently own two sweet fur babies that I love very much. I understand how important it is to be able to trust who takes care of your pets, so I am excited to have this opportunity to be at your assistance. Whether it’s boarding or walking your babies will be cared for and loved as if they were my own, not only because I love pets but because that’s how I would want my babies to be treated while I’m away. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pets and taking great care of them!

About: Hello!! My name is Shealawna. You can call me Shea. I have to start with how I remember my first experiences with dogs and cats, and that began from my earliest of memories as I was raised by a mother who worked in a kennel and owned her own grooming business. Because of this, I am well versed in proper animal care, taking this on in my own way now through Rover and word of mouth. We always had animals coming by and we were constantly learning about new breeds and how cats and dogs have their own personalities and that we are to respect as if they were children or seniors. I myself have 3 children and I raise my children to work along side me at time so that they learn for themselves a trade that has been passed down. I have regulars that I house sit for. One of my favorites is one with 5 dogs, 2 pigs, chickens, roosters and turkeys:). So please if you go out of town and need me I can accommodate my life to work with caring for your beloved home and pets while you are gone. I also do dog-walking and drop-in visits when you have long hours or special circumstances. In my profile you can see pictures of some of the pets I have cared for. I have many references, as I have many repeat clients as I truely love what I get to do and hope to exceed your expectations. Let’s get together. Please feel free to message or call me. I like to meet in person before I care for your pet so I know that I am fully suited to care for them. Hello! I am married and I have a 6, 11& 12 year old. One of which usually comes with me when house-sitting. I have a very flexible schedule so let’s see if I can meet you and your pets needs:). At home I have a friendly female boxer-bully mix. She gets along with just about every other dog and/or cat. I also have large yard when your pet is staying in my home. I am currently a stay at home mom and wife of a man dedicated to his profession, and who has served our country. I say that just because I hope it shows his level of support to my chosen profession. He supports us and sometimes steps in to help when needed. You can trust me to care for your pet and put their needs up front and center during my time with them. Your pet will never go a long period without me and their needs will be a great priority. I can send you updates or photos often and respond to messages from you.

About: I’ve taken care of all of the animals my neighbors and family have had since I was able to walk. Animals mean everything to me I only work part time (and plan to keep it that way) so I’m always available to take care of your animals for you, especially on the weekends and holidays I stay in an apartment without a yard unfortunately, but there are dog parks that I visit often near by and plenty of space inside my home and around the complex for your animal.

About: I’ve been in the emergency vet field for over a year and a half now with experience in handling emergency situations, aggressive animals & administering medication. I’ve taken care of dogs since i was 18, from my own who now needs seizure needs daily, to my family dog who was paralyzed and needed to be expressed daily. Dogs are my life & I want the opportunity to help others in any way I can. When i’m not at work I am usually at my house.
