Every Dog Gets A Walk Built For Them

​

We don't do cookie-cutter walks. Before your first booking, we meet your dog, learn their quirks, and understand what makes them tick. Some dogs pull on leash and need a calm, structured approach. Some are shy and need extra patience. Some are senior dogs with joint issues who need a slower, shorter stroll. Some are puppies burning off energy every chance they get.  Our team is trained to read dog body language and reduce stress during walks with patience and skill.

​

We Walk Multi-Dog Households

​

Have two, three, or four dogs that all need walking? No problem - Critter Sitter of VA specializes in multi-pet households. We coordinate walks for all your dogs, whether they walk together or need separate outings. If you've had trouble finding a walker who can confidently handle your whole pack, we're the team you've been looking for.
