Dog Walking in Staunton

About: I’ve had pets all my life and have experience caring for sick animals, so I can administer any medications, be it pills or injectables. Besides dogs I have cared for cats, rabbits, chickens, rats, snakes, and fish. I can take your dogs for walks or even take them on a trip to the dog park. I might not look that strong but I can hold on to a leash. I have walked extra large dogs with no problem. To see more pictures of my pet care experience, follow me on instagram. My handle is all_my_pet_friends I am often either booked by my repeat guests or out of town, so please check my calendar and give me some advance notice. If I know you need me ahead of time, I can be sure to be around then. Thanks! _______________________________________________________________ Roughly 64% of animals that enter shelters are put down. Each year, an estimated 9.6 million animals are euthanized in shelters for lack of a home. Please help control the pet population by having your pets spayed or neutered. Adopt, don't shop! I work from home so I can be highly flexible to meet your schedule and I am also able to pick up and drop off. If your dogs come to stay at my home I have a fenced in yard. If I come to your home I will be respectful of your space.

“Amber is so attentive to Jasmine’s needs and her calm demeanor is perfect for this rescue dog. Jasmine loves Amber’s dog, Cosmo, so it is double fun for her when Amber comes for a walk.”

“Ron took excellent care of our dog while we were away on vacation. He was very responsive, provided daily pictures, and lengthy walks. You can tell he truly loves animals. Would 100% recommend him.”

“Jamie was Great! I got pictures of Nyko everyday and I knew he was being well cared for!”

“Kathryn is a kind and caring caretaker. She provides great updates, is prompt and professional. Our dog loves his walks with her!”

“Deb is an amazing caregiver! Not only does she follow instructions and pay attention to the details, she has no problem calling with questions or when she notices something “isn’t quite right!” I also trust her with my plants and livestock animals. When we went on an extended trip and she watched our Great Pyrenees, we were relieved to know she was in great hands while we were gone, and Deb even sent us pictures of her enjoying her stay at their house. I recommend her as an animal caregiver to anyone!”

“Alex has taken care of Siby (Husky mix) for long periods at a time while I was in Veterinary school. He's very knowledgeable of canine behavior and takes time with each pet. He's also good with heeler breeds and working breeds. He's also very flexible with schedule and different pets needs. Definitely recommend!”

“Joell has taken care of our two doodles over the past years. She is reliable and extremely loving to our pets. I would highly recommend her. We always have peace of mind knowing that our dogs are in good hands.”

About: I have been a dog and cat owner all my life, and truly enjoy all types of housepets! I would love to provide a safe and fun stay for your fur love. Can provide for special needs, etc. Happy to answer any questions you may have in order to ensure you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is in great hands! While I am experienced, I keep my rates low because I never want anyone to stress about the financial aspect of caring for pets while away. Most recently I have been the owner of a 13 year old American Bulldog (Meatball), and an 18 year old cat. While both have sadly passed due to age, I am looking for provide lots of love to your furry ones until I'm ready to adopt again, and even after! I have a large back yard (unfenced - but supervision/leashed walks provided) and live near a park for long walks. Open to any and all instructions personalized for your dog/cat to make sure all their needs are met. I look forward to caring for your fur love! I work from home with a very flexible work schedule so I'm able to accommodate frequent potty breaks and lots of exercise rain or shine! My backyard is unfenced so your pet will be on a leash at all times while outside - at my house of if we take a field trip (with permission of course)

About: I have been a volunteer with Alabama Rabbit Rescue since 2016. I am now a college student at Mary Baldwin who cannot have a pet and would love to help you with yours! I have had many years of pet sitting, both for the snuggles and money. I have most experience with rabbits but will do/learn how to take care of any pet! I am a full time college student but I can always take care of animals in between classes. Check with me for more details and to see if your needs match my availability! Because I live in a dorm, I will not be bringing pets into my space. With years of rabbit experience, I’ve become very good at noticing anything wrong animals. I’m sure your pet will also enjoy my snuggles, ask my previous clients

“Ashley is the only person aside from family we trust to watch our Golden Retriever, Luna. Luna absolutely adores Ashley, and they had an instant connection. Ashley is responsible, punctual and one of the kindest people I know. If you leave your pet with Ashley you can trust he or she will be in the very best hands--they'll also have tons of fun!”

“Elisabeth is a responsible and trustworthy caretaker. I’ve known her for several years, and she has proven herself highly capable in many areas. I highly recommend her! Victoria G.”

About: Hi, I'm Katie. I am new to Rover, but not to pet sitting. I grew up with pets and have had them the majority of my adult life. I currently live on a hobby farm just outside of Staunton. I have a flexible schedule and will love and care for your pet(s) as if they are my own. I am attentive to detail and will follow any and all guidelines and preferences you provide. I have a flexible schedule and I am available with short notice. I can be available most times through out the day. I am responsible and will love and care for your pets. I currently have pets of my own and prefer to care for pets in their own home. I am happy to make multiple checks daily and walk and clean up after pets.

“Isabel was wonderful with our Aussiedoodle, Buster. He's still very much a puppy and she redirected his energy from jumping to more constructive activities. They were instant friends and I trust her to take him on walks any time!”

About: I am a beginner when it comes to official pet care experience, but I love dogs! One year, my New Years Resolution was to pet every dog that I saw— not completely successful but it was a valiant effort! While in college, I lived in a home with 2 large German shepherds that I became one of the sole care providers for. I would frequently dog sit a golden retriever as well. I am comfortable walking, playing, and house sitting. Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I am looking forward to the chance to pet and care for more dogs :) I have a flexible hybrid job where I am able to flex my hours as needed in order to accommodate caring for pets here and there! The pet's needs come first when caring for an animal. I would plan to actively engage the animal with play and exercise while being conscious of the home.

“My senior hound mix dog Evie was relaxed and happy when I got home! We are big fans of Samantha and will be booking again with her for next week. Thanks, Sam! You rock!”

“Erin was so kind with my 2 dogs. You could tell how much she loved them. She walked them 2 times per day and played with them. She even brought them little toys to keep. I highly recommend her. I never worried when they were with her!”

“Mya is the best pet sitter i’ve ever had. She actually took the time to play and care for my cat, dog, and 2 turtles. She gave my cat her medicine at the correct times, fed her, and gave her cuddles. Now although my dog is a little rough, Mya handled my Foxy with care and didn’t get frustrated. I know this because i have a ring camera in my living room and i was very pleased to see her training skills. She spent a lot of time outside playing with Foxy as well. Mya is the absolute best when it comes to dog caregiving. My mom and i love her :)”

“Samantha was great! She communicated with me throughout the whole process. I felt comfortable and at ease. Def would hire again!”

“Shannon is a loving and responsible pet owner. With 2 kitties and 2 pups of her own, she knows the ins and outs of pet care. Shannon would make a fantastic pet and house sitter- you can relax knowing that she’s looking after your babies.”
