Dog Walking Wilton

About: Ive taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10 years old. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to walk, board or play with their dogs for many years. I love dogs, and now have two of my own! I am currently a full time SLP in the school system, so I have summers off! I am available every day of the week during the weekday until end of August when I go back to work! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your puppy company! I can also easily crate your dog if needed! My neighborhood has lots of green space and poop stations throughout making walks a breeze!

About: I have had pets my entire life and genuinely love spending time with all animals. I understand that every pet has their own routine and unique needs, so I take the time to follow your instructions carefully and make sure they feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I'm happy to provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone to keep them company, I'll make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I am a teacher who is home during the summer days and have a flexible schedule to help meet your needs. I'm a teacher who is home on summer break so I currently have flexible and open hours during the week day to meet the needs of you and your pet. As someone with an active lifestyle, I love getting outside for walks and play sessions, but I'm just as happy spending quiet time with pets who prefer cuddles and companionship. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your furry family member.

“Niely did a fantastic job looking after my elderly pup and cat. She gave lots of pictures and text updates, it felt great to know they were getting a lot of attention and love. Would recommend and will definitely use again!”

“Sidney is so wonderful with our sweet pug! We trust her deeply and she is a great communicator and very flexible with our somewhat unpredictable schedules.”

Parker S.

“Shelby walked my dog daily for over a week while I was unable. She was always on time, responsible, friendly to my dog, and communicative. I recommend her as a dog walker.”

“Kate is reliable and went above and beyond to care for my pup. Very grateful for her help”

“Avery is very sweet and attentive to Goldie. She can over early in the first walk to sit and slow Goldie to get comfortable with her. Loved all the photos and feedback about my dog.”

“Deiandre was great. He was very communicative and gave detailed reports after every walk. It was such a relief knowing my sweet girl was in good hands while I was on a work trip.”

“Conrad stepped in at our late notice and took fantastic care of our two dogs! They were staying with a sitter who could not walk them, and Conrad came to the rescue with walking them for a full hour every day, reliably and on-time! He communicates really well, is really responsible, and clearly has experience with dogs. One of my dogs is also dog-reactive, and Conrad knew just how to manage any reactive signs on walks and keeps distance from other animals. He listens well to instructions and is just a great dude. I’m happily looking to making him our regular go-to pet sitter and walker whenever we need support!”

“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!”

About: Hi! I'm Heather, and I'd love to care for your pets while you're away! I've been an animal lover my whole life. Growing up, I had a cat, a guinea pig, and an English Mastiff, which gave me experience with pets of all sizes and personalities. One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is getting to know each pet's unique personality—whether they're playful, shy, energetic, cuddly, or independent. Every pet is different, and I enjoy earning their trust and making them feel comfortable while their family is away. I know how important it is to have someone reliable caring for your pets because they truly are part of the family. I provide attentive care, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, medication (if needed and discussed), and plenty of affection. I especially love taking dogs on long walks and making sure they get the exercise and attention they need. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated, so you can expect lots of photos, videos, and messages during each visit. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. My schedule is flexible! I work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays, making me available throughout much of the day. I'm also generally available on Saturdays and Sundays. On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, I'm available before 8:00 a.m. and after 5:10 p.m. If you're located near Scott's Addition, I may also be able to stop by during my lunch break. I have reliable transportation and am happy to travel to your home. I'm also more than happy to bring in mail, water plants, and help keep your home looking lived-in while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because my partner and I already spend a lot of time caring for and spending quality time with our own cat. We both genuinely enjoy being around animals and making them feel comfortable, loved, and part of the family. We also love going on long walks after work each day, so having a dog companion along with us would fit perfectly into our routine and lifestyle. On weekends, we have even more flexibility and time to dedicate to walks, playtime, cuddles, and attentive pet care. We understand how important consistency and attention are when caring for pets, and we’re happy to follow each pet’s usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I always try to care for pets in a way that keeps them as comfortable and stress-free as possible by following their normal routine closely. I pay attention to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, litter box or potty routines, and any specific instructions their owner provides. In a client’s home, I understand that pets feel safest in their familiar environment, so I aim to maintain their routine and give them plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while their owner is away. I also love sending photo and update check-ins so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy and well cared for.

“Shannon was huge help walking our dog Nora after my foot surgery. She was responsible, communicative, and took some cute pictures of Nora during their walks! We will definitely book again.”

About: I love dogs as I’ve had many throughout my childhood and adulthood. My family has always been a big pet family and so I completely understand the love and attention pets need and deserve. After all, they are an important part of our lives! I am currently a student on summer break, so my schedule is quite open and free at the moment. This allows me to be flexible with fitting pet care into my daily schedule. I can work around your schedule! In my house, I help with feeding, walking, playing, and overall petting and loving on our dog. I love to walk my dog at home and play with her using her favorite toys. I can bring these skills to help care for your pet as well.

“Great !”

About: I've never not had animals in my life! I spent my early years on a working farm and have always had a way with animals. Dogs love me (cats, too!) and I them ❤️ I have many years of experience in the veterinary field and know what to do in emergencies. I am currently working part time and my schedule is flexible. I do work away from home for 5-8 hours a day, split shift. I have dogs amd cats but can keep them separate, if necessary. My dogs are dog friendly, although my beagle mix is very bossy (typical!) Dogs will be in the house with my dogs, but they can be separated, if needed. I can crate, if the parents supply the crate. Dogs will be leash walked in the wide front yard but we can also go across the street to the dog park, too!

“We had a wonderful experience with Katie who walked and checked in our dog for ~2 weeks - dependable from start to finish. We especially appreciated the regular updates—keeping us informed and reassured throughout the time we were away. Katie truly went above and beyond to care for our pet, taking the time to make sure everything was handled with attention. Our pet was happy and we felt completely comfortable trusting her. Highly recommended!”

About: I have been fostering dogs and cats for about 7 years now and recently started working at Richmond Animal League as a dog care and enrichment specialist. Ranging from pairs of puppies to pit-bulls to litters of kittens to severely anxious dogs, I have taken care of them all. I understand that not all dogs are going to be the stereotypical dog, and I am prepared for any type of pet. I’m able to manage various behavioral and medical issues and provide basic assistance in these areas (oral medication, eye ointment, injections). I also train puppies - leash training, potty training, crate training, basic obedience, and basic tricks — and have worked with dog-reactive and anxious adult dogs. If you need me to help with training, I would be more than happy to help! Please keep in mind I am not a certified trainer. *for awareness: I work at my local shelter from 3pm-8pm on Thursdays and 8am-3pm on Saturdays. If you choose to book with me, please note that I will be away for these hours. *I have a 3 year old cat who loves dogs. If your baby loves cats & is respectful, please consider booking a stay with me. It would be great for them to meet and become friends! I just graduated from being student-athlete at Stanford and am now working hybrid in Richmond. I have no issue with waking up early and or staying up late to care for your loved pet. I am interested in dog sitting in your home and providing dog walks/drop-ins as needed! I can also do some boarding and day cares . I am working hybrid (3 days in office / week) so will need to know in advance if you'd like me to be working from home any weekdays. Other than that, I am perfectly fine adjusting to your pets schedule (wake up and bed time).

About: I’m a responsible and passionate professional hoping for a chance to spend quality time caring for your pets! I have cared for dogs my entire life, from an adorable shi tzu mix to a lovable deaf pit. I am available for dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs and cats. I’m also happy to assist you with collecting mail, watering plants, and running pet-related errands while you’re away. Need help with more than one furry friend? No problem! I am comfortable caring for up to three dogs at once. I also have extensive experience caring for cats with all types of personalities. I have my own transportation and can travel within Richmond city limits. Your pet deserves all of the care and special attention in the world - and you can trust me to provide just that! I’m a VCU instructor on summer break until August, so every day of the week is open for booking. I am happy to conduct two or three drop-ins or walks per day. As the proud parent of a neurotic dachshund mix, I understand that every pet has their unique needs! I will follow any instructions you provide and will send photos, videos, and any other updates you request.

“Ashley is great! She is extremely reliable and my dog loves her.”

About: I’ve been around dogs for years and truly enjoy caring for animals of all ages and personalities. I have experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days during the week. During the school year, I work as a teacher, so I’m available after 3:00 p.m. on weekdays and into the evening. Feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
