Dog Walkers in Yankeetown, VA

“Natalie was a natural walking with my pup, Rosie. She asked meaningful questions about her care (as we are planning on rebooking for house sitting) and was warm and loving toward my dog, giving her praise, treats, and smiles. Rosie was so pleased with our walk, that she started following Natalie to her car as if she was sad to see her go! We will be booking with Natalie again and are very confident in her professionalism and communication. Thanks, Natalie!”

About: I have taken care of and been around animals since I was a child. I had worked in Dog Daycares, walking dogs, and being a sitter for all kinds of animals. I can be gentle or authoritative with your pet while giving them love and kindness. My life is taking care of animals and loving them. I have plenty of free time to spend with your pets for walks, playtime, and so much more! I am quite strong to be able to hold tightly onto a leash if your animal is leash reactive. I am well versed in dog body language and can handle a hyperactive animal or a calm and cuddly baby.

“Mackenzie is great! She filled in for my regular dog walker pretty last minute, but made time to come meet my pup, Cody, beforehand and was fantastic with him -- plus extremely personable! She was very reliable and communicative; I am very grateful for her help!”

About: I have always had dogs in my life and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs. For over a year I have volunteered at an animal shelter where I regularly walk, spend time with, and care for dogs with a variety of behaviors and energy levels. I have also dog sat multiple times, both by welcoming dogs into my home and caring for pets in their own homes. As a graduate student, I have developed strong responsibility, communication, and time-management skills, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to pet care. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, whether that means walks, playtime, drop-in visits, or keeping pets company. I make it a priority to provide reliable care and make sure pets receive attention, exercise, and consistency in their routine. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, and I always strive to make them feel comfortable and secure. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and behaviors through both pet sitting and volunteering at an animal shelter. I carefully follow owners’ instructions, maintain a safe environment, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while keeping owners updated along the way.

About: I've always dog sitted, walked, cared for dogs since a very young age, The last few years dogs ive mentored have won a few dog shows, have worked in shelters as well with animals with anxiety and many health problems. Animals are our best friends & they deserve care & empathy. I love the outdoors hiking and running so I keep the dogs active and healthy. I am also a tutor so being Remote gives me time for doggies:) Always a full plate of food, with water. Along with walks I like pet to get some exercise, & have play time even when we're inside. I also have a long relaxing walking path and lake right in my neighborhood. All dogs absolutely love the view during walks!

About: I have been around dogs my entire life. There isn't a time I can remember not having dogs around my entire childhood. So, I went into a dog-centered field. I am certified as dog obedience trainer, and have worked with my parents senior Westie. I am currently staying at home, so I have a lot of time. My husband works five days a week, and I would love to have a job. Usually Monday through Thursday are good, nine to three. I am hoping to eventually be able to board dogs overnight. I love dogs. They are usually all so friendly once they know you, and I enjoy loving on them. You can rest assured I will do everything, within reason, that I can do to keep a dog safe and healthy.

About: I’ve lived in my house with a dog and two cats since I was five. My childhood dog was a pittbull, and now my family has a beagle. I’ve looked after them since I was 12. I also look after my neighbor's two dogs when she's on vacation. One of my cats dealt with thyroid issues for 4 years before she died. I took care of her medication intake and adapted to her lifestyle. I’m currently searching for a part-time job, so I have a lot of free time on my hands. When I do start working, I will leave plenty of time for local animals. I can easily care for and clean up after your animals. I can prepare their food, specific to their diet, and exercise and play with them.

“Moriah was so great for Walt! Not only did she help fill a need for us with a last minute cancellation, she was so responsive and great with our dog. She gave great feedback after every walk and was so kind. I would definitely hire again and recommend to friends!”
