Dog Walkers in Yorkville, VA

About: i've taken care of dogs since I was 11 and I've had a cat for almost ten years now. I love spending time with all breeds! I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with, take care of, and love on your fur babies. I'll take care of your animals whichever way you see fit. I have a fenced in back yard and will crate them if you see fit.

About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs my whole life, but I love animals of every kind. As a biology student who can't have any pets of my own at school, I'll treat your pets like my family! I am taking organic chemistry over the summer, so my schedule will be very flexible. I am an early riser, so morning walks are not an issue for me. I am happy to make multiple visits to your pet each day! For dogs, I walk and feed them regularly and make sure they get as much exercise and socialization as they need. For cats, I feed them regularly, clean litter boxes, and give them space unless they want to be my friend. I will not touch any personal belongings unless I have permission to do so, and I will ensure the security of your home by locking doors and keeping all client information confidential. I am very reliable and I will care for your pet like they are my own!

“Hope was wonderful to work with. She was very easy-going and did a wonderful job communicating with us. She gave a recap her time with Vader which was nice to read and we were very comfortable using her as a dog-walker for our pup. We look forward to hiring her again in the future! Thanks Hope!”

“Thank you for taking the time to take him on his walk. He seems to love you a lot. He gets attached very easily to people. I saw the way he ran to the door when you came Tuesday. I will be utilizing your services once winter break is over. Thank you for taking care of him.”

About: I grew up with two small dogs and have taken care of various sized dogs. I love animals and would love to spend time with your fur babies!!! I am current student at James Madison University so I am available to do drop ins or walks early in the morning, or during the afternoon. I will provide the same care to any animal like it is my own. I truly love animals and would love to have the opportunity of taking care of yours.

“I am having a fantastic experience with Sam! She is incredibly attentive to my dogs’ needs and provides regular updates. My dog is always (a bit too) excited to go on walks with her, and I feel confident with them in her care. Highly recommended!”

“We are so thankful we found Marisol! She was able to help us immensely with our hound who is high energy and can be a bit of a handful on the leash. She expertly handles him and ensures they have an enjoyable, safe, and energy burning walk! She is kind, communicative, and was able to work with our schedule. Highly recommend! Thank you Marisol!”

About: Hello, my name is Kathy and I offer drop in visits, day care, and walking for mellow and senior dogs and I specialize in caring for cats and kittens. I have lived with and cared for both cats and dogs my whole life, from young ones to seniors, as well as sick pets who need medical attention. I am skilled at giving oral medication and shots. I also volunteer at my local no-kill shelter and handle cats of all sizes. My husband and I live with our small introverted tripod dog and 2 cats in a house with a fenced-in backyard. Our neighborhood is quiet and safe with sidewalks. Our home is a relaxing space for senior, mellow, and/or introverted dogs - if your dog enjoys cuddling on the couch or slow strolls around a quiet neighborhood, then we have the perfect home! I also offer the following services separately: - Dog baths (shampoo + conditioner; $15/bath) - Cat nail trimming ($10/session) Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work from home with a generally flexible schedule. I'm able to set my own hours for the most part and can be available over lunch as well as before and after work. I'm also able to take frequent breaks to let dogs outside in our fenced-in backyard with a 6-foot fence. After work, we will go for a walk around the neighborhood. I'm the primary caretaker but my husband helps when he is home. Boarding: I have a small, introverted tripod and 2 cats. As such, I will only board mellow, senior, and/or introverted dogs who are good with cats. My cats will not bother your baby as long as they don't bother the cats. Drop-ins: I understand every pet has its own personality and will respect their needs! I'm happy to play with your energetic companion or leave your shy loved one alone and let them come to me. No matter what, I am always attentive to their body language.

About: I have always been expected to care of my own pets from a very young age and now mine live with me at college:) I love it so much I even created my own dog poop cleaning up business in sixth grade! Anything I could ever do to help someone with their pet is so rewarding, and I understand needing to travel and see the world or visit family as I have moved around a ton when I was younger. I’m super excited to join the app! Having my animals in college has helped me ensure I build a healthy schedule not only for myself, but also them! The way I love a routine, so do they. I try to get up around the same time each day and feed dinner around the same time also. My dogs don’t eat lunch, but I have cared for animals that have and it’s all about craving that extra important time for them to ensure they feel comfortable, especially with family gone. I love the outdoors and walks during the summer so doing that is the least I could do for my babies. I’m a very flexible and communicative person which hopefully sets up the best care:) I want to be as respectful as possible, and since working at a clients home I would want to make sure I know what works best for your animal. If is a lot of outside time, space, treats, being in the crate while gone or not. anything! I can totally work around that because I want you to have peace of mind for your home and pet:)

“Bethany was truly a God send when I needed help with daily pup walks for my two large fur babies. I have a mal mix and a GSD and she was always able to work around my crazy on-call work schedule. I don’t have enough good things to say about her! If you want the best care for your pup, you have to call her!”

“Rodney always takes great photos of the walk and writes a review at the end. I'm very happy with his work and would completely recommend him to anyone.”

About: I have several years of pet-sitting under my belt. I have pet-sat animals of all kinds, not just dogs and cats (rabbits, geckos, pigs). I have experience with the smallest of dogs to even a 110lb dog! My family has had 3+ dogs at one time since I was a kid so I’m used to dogs for sure, we even have added 2 cats to the family! I am currently working a part-time job, and sometimes work 8 hours. I’m available during the weekdays and weekends, and can be flexible since I create my own schedule! I have my own transportation as well. I do not intend on taking any pets to my own home, since I have so many animals there already but I am used to having a fenced in yard and keeping an eye on my animals when they are let out. If the animals are ever outside of the fence, they are kept on a leash for their safety and my sanity!

About: I am a certified, professional dog trainer, through the Victoria Stilwell Academy, a Pat Miller Certified Trainer and, have an 3rd certification through the Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers. I only believe in Positive Reinforcement/Force Free training. Dogs are my life! If you have any behaviors you would like me to work on while they are with me let me know. If your pup comes to stay in my home, they will be treated like one of the family. They will receive all the love and attention they get at home. Plus they will have 2 playmates, my pups Sophie and Vinny! Let's talk and see if your pup will fit into our little family. You can rest assured they will be happy and healthy in our home. I do ask that we do a meet and greet with my dogs before I accept any appointments. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! I am retired from the Air Force and own my own dog training business. So I set my own schedule and can give your pup all the attention it needs. I have a fully fenced yard and two very friendly dogs. Vinny will play all day if your pup wants to, but he is very respectful if they are not as active. Sophie is very independent and like to lounge around the house. Your dog will never be left alone with my dogs if I have to leave the house. I always separate the dogs when I leave, just in case anyone gets grumpy.

“So happy to find Logan! With two crazy huskies, finding someone confident enough to take on that challenge is a little nerve racking, but Logan is exactly what we needed. She is flexible and accomidating, available at short notice when needed. Great communication and provided updates. Definitely recommend Logan and plan on having her walk my pups again! 🐺🐻‍❄️”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and would love the opportunity to care for your pets when you can’t be with them. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, and even raccoons over the years! While I’m new to Rover, I have many years of hands-on experience caring for animals and pet sitting for friends and family. Our home is full of pets we adore, including three dogs—a Siberian Husky, a Beagle/Australian Cattle Dog mix, and a Yorkie—along with several birds of different breeds and a turtle. Because of this, I’m very comfortable caring for animals with different personalities, sizes, and needs. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who may need extra patience and gentle care. I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed. When caring for your pets, I treat them just like my own—with lots of love, patience, and attention. ⸻ My Pet Care Philosophy I believe pets are family, and they deserve to feel safe, loved, and comfortable even when their owners are away. My goal is to make your pet’s time with me feel as normal and stress-free as possible by following their usual routines and giving them plenty of attention. Every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one happy—whether that’s playtime, long walks, belly rubs, or just quiet companionship. Communication is very important to me, so while you’re away I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing. I know from personal experience how comforting it is to know your pets are happy and well cared for. Most importantly, I will treat your pets with the same love and care that I give my own pets. ⸻ Experience & Skills I’m comfortable caring for: • Dogs of all sizes and breeds • Cats • Birds and small pets • Puppies and kittens • Senior pets • Multi-pet households I’m also comfortable with: • Administering medications • Following feeding schedules and routines • Walks and exercise • Cleaning litter boxes and cages • Providing lots of affection and attention ⸻ What You Can Expect When your pet is in my care, you can expect: 🐾 Lots of love and attention 🐾 Safe and reliable care 🐾 Updates and photos while you’re away 🐾 Respect for your home and your pet’s routine My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and happy. ⸻ Meet & Greets I’m always happy to schedule a free meet-and-greet so you and your pet can get to know me before booking. This helps make sure everyone feels comfortable and it’s a great fit. ⸻ ⭐ Warning: Your pet may get spoiled with extra love, attention, and belly rubs! I have a full time job during the week, but I’m available to care for and love on your pets in your absence in the evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends for those weekend getaway trips!

About: My name is Mina. I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past three years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. I’m not currently working, so my full time job would be caring for your pet! Daycare drop off and pickup hours are between 7 am and 7 pm. Any time after 7 pm would need to be booked as boarding and pickup for the following morning. I offer extended stays as well. live in an apartment with the dog park on my same floor, so lots of running around and play time staying here with me here!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs indoors and outdoors for my entire childhood. I am a full time public music teacher and part time church music director looking to spend some time with sweet pups! I am open for house sitting, dog drop in visits and walks within 15 miles of Hampton, VA. I have my own dog, Allie, who we feed morning and night. We also walk her daily. Allie loved to get her zoomies out in the backyard. She also gets lots of pets and a peanut butter cone after doing some tricks. June and July, I am open to scheduling during the day (8:00 am-5:00 pm) on weekdays and weekends dependent upon scheduling. Additional hours after 5:00pm available upon request. August-May: I am available for walks from 4:30pm-7:00pm, dependent upon scheduling. Allie goes on regular walks for 30 minutes (longer or shorter). We feed her morning and night and she loves to get out zoomies in our backyard. Allie sits and waits before each feeding and she does shake, lay down and stay before her treat. I am also attaching a written reference below: To fur baby owners: Caroline Miller is one of the best dog/house sitters I’ve ever had. She is very responsible and dependable. Most important though is how she loves on my dogs while I’m away and spends time with them. I also loved the condition of how my house looked when I came home, just as clean as it was when I left! It saddened me when Caroline moved away from home because I haven’t had a dog sitter as good as her in years. She will not disappoint! -Melissa F
