Dog Walkers in Woodlake, VA

“Nicole has been great! She's very obviously a dog lover and has been so much more of a help than just a midday walk, she has helped with simple training and making my rescue dog feel comfortable in her new home. Highly recommended!”

About: I've been surrounded by pets all my life, and helping take care of them since I was 3. I'm most experienced with cats and dogs of ages ranging from a few weeks old to end-of-life, and have consistent experience with cleaning accidents, brushing, bathing, and special dietary or medicinal needs. I'd love to meet your pets and help take care of them for any reason, so you can be happy and they can be happy! My services are dedicated solely to summer and the Christmas season, as I am currently a college student and can only pet sit when I am at home for extended periods of time. Throughout most of the year, as of now, I am unavailable, but keep me in mind for the hotter days and holidays!!! Depending on your pets' needs, I'm willing to split my time between caring for them and making sure their environment is perfect for them to thrive. I regularly check to make sure they have enough food and will set alarms for any designated meal times, as well as regularly keep track of any notable events that you might want to hear about. However, given that every pet and every home is different, I'm willing and able to care for your pets in any way you see fit!

“Excellent job!! Our dog love her.”

About: Hi there! I’m Fabrizio, proud dog parent to Bruno, my 5-year-old buddy who taught me that every pup has their own personality and needs. Over the years I’ve also cared for the pets of friends and family — from playful puppies to older dogs that just need extra love and attention. I’m flexible, reliable, and love keeping owners updated with pics and messages. With me, every walk is an adventure and every cuddle feels like home. 🐾🐶 I work as an independent sports agent, which means most of my job is done from my phone and laptop. Because of this, I have a very flexible schedule and can easily adjust my day around walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting. Whether it’s mornings, afternoons, evenings, or even weekends, I can usually make it work. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s routine and find the perfect times to keep them happy and cared for. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. When I’m in your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions carefully to make sure your pets feel comfortable and secure. I treat every house as if it were my own, with responsibility and care. On walks, I’m always alert to surroundings, traffic, and other animals. I keep dogs safely leashed, avoid risky situations, and make sure they get exercise in a fun but safe way. You can trust that your pets will always be in good hands with me.

“Thomas did an amazing job in take care of our two boxers. He was on time, reliable, communicated well, and went above and beyond to ensure that each dog was properly walked, exercised, and cared for. Highly recommend Thomas for any of your pet walking and care needs!”

About: My previous experience in pet care includes employment at Holiday Barn Pet Resorts as a pet care associate, volunteering at Richmond Animal League, and pet sitting for a wide variety of animals. Pet sitting for pets around my neighborhood was my first job! Growing up with pets of my own my whole life has also allowed me to become accustomed to caring for animals of all different sizes, ages, and temperaments. As a college student on summer break, I am opening my schedule up through mid-August and plan to fill my days/weeks with pet care services! Help me keep busy :) I am currently offering walks, drop ins, and/or overnight services, and I have experience with caring for pets in others’ homes. As of right now I am unable to provide boarding services.

“Lara has been extremely easy to work with and very patient with our dog. We appreciate her taking good care of our pup.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life. I am looking forward to opportunities to care for your dog(s) or cat(s) while you are away and love them like they were my own. I have a fenced in yard and live in a wonderful neighborhood with lots of walking trails. I have three children, ages 10, 12, and 14 that grew up with dogs and learned how to be loving and respectful to animals. I’m a high school teacher so I’m able to be home during the summer and school holidays. My routine includes a morning, afternoon and an evening walk after dinner. The fenced backyard provides opportunities for exercise outside of walks. I follow your pets normal feeding schedule and will only provide the food and treats that you provide to avoid any allergy or food intolerance concerns. On school days, my husband is typically working from home so there is usually someone home without long periods of being left home alone. Pets are cared for as part of the family and receive lots of love and attention.

“Wes was great! Was comfortable around my dog immediately, which made her accept him right away. He was punctual and sent photo updates. Highly recommend!”

“Christina is a phenomenal dog walker & dog sitter. We just started using Rover for our puppy and Christina has been incredibly helpful and flexible. Our puppy has a ton of energy and Christina hasn’t missed a beat. We especially love the Rover Cards Christina sends us every day after each visit. Our puppy’s behavior is so much better when Christina comes to visit. She’s a life saver!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for several years, including dogs of all sizes, cats, and even senior animals who need extra patience and attention. What sets me apart is my calm, attentive approach and genuine love for animals. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level. I have experience with puppy care, basic training reinforcement (like leash walking and commands), and caring for older pets who may need medication, slower walks, or extra supervision. I’m very detail oriented, so I carefully follow any instructions you provide to keep your pet happy and safe. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just companionship, I make sure every pet feels loved and secure while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I plan my schedule around being available, attentive, and flexible. I have consistent availability throughout the week and can adjust my routine to meet your pet’s needs, whether that’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care. I prioritize reliability and communication, so you can count on me to show up on time and keep you updated with messages or photos. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make it a regular and important part of my week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In your home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s routine closely to keep things familiar and stress-free. I pay attention to details like secure doors, safe walking routes, and making sure pets are always supervised when needed. I take time to build trust with each animal, especially those who may be shy or anxious, using patience and positive interactions. I’m also comfortable handling feeding schedules, crate routines, and administering basic medications if needed. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in a caring, responsible, and attentive environment with me.

About: I've had various pets my entire life and been pet sitting/walking for over 25 years! I have experience with any species from hamsters, lizards, and bunnies, to cats and dogs, as well as livestock! My family raises and competes with oxen in the Northeast, and until recently moving south I cared for large animals (horses, cattle, goats, etc) as a side gig as well. There isn't an animal out there that I'm unwilling to work with! I love to care for and work with dogs. I'm happy to do regularly scheduled walks/hikes, or help out as needed. I don't have any official training certification but I do have a background in behavior analysis that has proven helpful when working with and training pets and farm animals. I'm available weekdays mostly during the day but have plenty of flexibility overall. Also available most weekends! Message me with your needs and I can check my schedule for availability. I have a German Shepherd and a Staffordshire Terrier. Although they love to play, due to their size and intensity of play, I'm not doing any care in my home at this time. If I establish a relationship with a client and know their pet well enough to know if it's a good fit, we can discuss the possibility of care in my home. I am willing to do care for small animals in cages in my home (hamster, bearded dragon, etc) In a client's home, I will follow whatever individual preferences they have!

About: I grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania and really enjoy all the animals. That said, my favorite animals are dogs and they love me. I'm excited and honored to get to know your special fur baby! I got my Teddy, a Cockapoo, as an 8 week old puppy right before Covid and I crate trained him. He's real good with other dogs but he's not a big player. I work full time, so I’m available after work on Friday through Sunday. Time frame Friday at 6 pm onward through Sunday evening. I enjoy walking and I would be able to provide plenty of walks in the community or we can visit the dog park about 1/2 mile down the street. I could brush hair and wash face each day that I have your fur baby. I would care for your dog in my home. I can easily section off rooms by closing doors because my main living space is large. I can crate your dog if you desire and if he is comfortable. The outdoor deck is enjoyable because it's shady and another space to look around. Also feeding and providing water and stretching out and resting.

“Eileen and her husband are very kind people. My pup loves them and did great on the first walk! Will definitely book again.”

“Highly recommend Brian! If you want to make your dogs, and you, so happy, Brian crushes in a really important way. He communicated a lot and I knew I could rely on him.. Even on the initial meet & greet. He confirms before every visit that he’ll be there, you know when he arrives and departs, and you get an update of the visit with pictures. He seriously reduced my anxiety while I was out of town. He visited midday (my hubby was home at night) to feed them and give them a walk. They were so happy during the week and I attribute a lot of this to Brian’s attention and his love of dogs we saw from him on the meet & greet. My 2 dogs are 100 lbs and a reactive 75 lbs and he walked them together.”

“Kaylee is ANAZING!!! She is super creative and intuitive in how she is interacting with my puppy. She has been helping keep him exercised during the day and during the day but due to his age, he can’t walk far distances. She fills in the rest of the time with both physical and mental stimulation, including play, puzzles, and cuddles. I can’t recommend her more highly!!!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 12 years old, gaining hands on experience with both dogs and cats and learning how unique each animal’s needs and personalities can be. Pets have always been a huge part of my life and my family. Recently, I lost my dog/my constant companion of 16 years. Caring for other people’s pets is my way of honoring that love and bringing the same patience, respect and affection I gave to my own pet pets who deserve to have feel safe, happy and cared for. I am available during the weekdays and most weekends from 8 AM to 10 PM. I am retired and will have plenty of time to assist providing the love and care your pets deserve. Your pet safety is always my top priority, both in your home and on every walk. While caring for pets in your home, I’m attentive, calm and respectful of your routines and rules. I’ll make sure doors and gates are securely closed, food and medication’s are given exactly as instructed, and your pet feels comfortable in a familiar environment. I take time to observe behavior and body language so I can quickly spot stress, illness, or anything out of the ordinary. On walks, I use secure, leashes and harnesses, choose safe routes and stay fully focused on your pet at all times. I’m mindful of weather conditions, traffic and other animals and I adjust the pace and distance to match your pet’s age, energy level and needs. My goal is to provide safe, structured and enjoyable walks where your pets feel protected and cared for, just as I would my own.

“Kiara was extremely reliable and patient with both of my dogs. One has a neurological condition and Kiara was able to handle her with grace. Would highly recommend and use again.”
