Dog Walkers in Wise, VA

About: I've taken care of many animals in my life. From taking care of my childhood dog, to pet sitting for neighbors, friends and family to volunteering with therapeutic riding horses, and now having my own animal. Ive taken care and worked with animals big and small. Animals hold a very special place in my heart! I do not work currently as I am a stay at home wife so I am very open and flexible to work around your fur babies needs:) I am very well equipped to handle your animal safely and calmly on or off leash, in or outside. I am confident in my professionalism and safety with all animals. I will do what it takes to keep your animal and then environment surrounding the animals safe and clean.

About: Structured, clean, dependable, sensitive, and trustworthy. Very particular about dog choices: dogs should be clean, healthy, up to date on shots/records, and child friendly. Owners should provide food and treats. Can give references from friends and colleagues to prove quality of dog-care. Need advance notice and safe living environment for dog visits, walking, and house sitting. Have experience in grooming dogs. Dog owners should provide cleaning and grooming supplies as well as leash, harness, and dog muzzle ( if the dog needs to be restrained for safety purposes). Need to provide a picture of the dog and home before committing to dog walking or home visit. Need to provide emergency contact numbers for at least two reliable family members or friends to contact if needed. Strict policies. I work full-time but am able to take breaks during which I can do dog walking or drop in visits. For house sitting, I can only do it in the evening and over night, and mostly during weekends. I have a fenced in yard where it is safe for dogs to play and walk. I make sure dogs stay on their leashes/ harnesses if I am walking them in public areas and areas with no fences.

“Alexa was great! She was super communicative and showed up on time every single day for a month to walk our two dogs while we were settling into a new house. She got them plenty of exercise each day, gave updates on how they did on each walk, adjusted walk lengths based on the weather and how much energy the dogs had each day, and overall was super attentive to each dog’s individual needs. Our boys are missing her already, and we will definitely be using her in the future!”

About: My family have always owned at least 4 dogs at a time and growing up it was our responsibility as kids to care for them. We would brush them, walk them, feed them, and bath them. I recently graduated with an MBA from East Tennessee State University and I’m working full time as a marketing manager for Ballad Health Medical Associates. I work 3 in days in the office Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and work 2 days remotely Monday and Friday. My job is 2 minutes from my home so I would be able to check on your dog during lunch or check on them at your place. For this reason I don’t accept house sitting on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday that are more than 10 miles away. They will have my attention at all time. They might get tired of me wanting to play with them. I love being around dogs and will make sure your fury friend is well taken care of and happy
