Sarah
My name is Sarah, I love hiking, being outside and traveling. I have a long hair calico named vixen along with a chow chow named Jerbear who I rescued back in February. I have volunteered at the SPCA for over 3 years. I am studying psychology military resilience and I'll be becoming a physical therapist assistant where I work with veterans and any military personnel and their families. I also want to specialize with animals to assist in their therapy. |
Kayla
Although Kayla was born and raised in Charlottesville, she isn't always that easy to locate. You can find her in one of three places - the gym, the barn and now - the street...walking dogs. Kayla is a fitness enthusiast who desires to be the strongest woman she can be. An equestrian who rides on her best friend, Jalapeno. Lastly, a dog walker who loves every single dog she comes across. Kayla has grown up with a variety of dogs and can't see living a day without them. |
Lindsey
Hello! My name is Lindsey. I'm originally from Minneapolis, but moved to the East coast about 12 years ago and have been in Charlottesville for the last 7. I can honestly say I've never lived anywhere I love more. The mountains are gorgeous, the people are great and I'm in total awe of the fact I can drive to so many local spots I'd only read about in history books growing up in the Midwest. I have a degree in Sports and Exercise Science, and while I'm new to dog walking as a career, I have been around animals my whole life. I used to be heavily involved in fostering rescue animals before I had children; and have done a lot of pet care for neighbors, friends and family. I was a competitive barrel racer in high school, have worked at several barns, and as a counselor at a horse camp during my summers in college. I'm really happy to be on board with Sammy and to meet all of you and your fur babies! |
Laurie
Laurie grew up on a large farm in Virginia that bred, trained and field trialed English Setters. She has always had a love for animals (dogs and horses in particular) and is now the mom to a yellow lab named Buck, a rescue toy poodle named Sugar and a quarter horse named Cruiser! She graduated from James Madison University with a degree in business. She is married with two daughters who both attend The University of Virginia (Go Hoos!). |
Vanessa
Vanessa is a Virginia native. She was born in Lynchburg, but moved to Charlottesville when she was a child. After graduating from Western Albemarle High School, she left the area but life changes brought her back to Charlottesville in 2009. Vanessa is a mom of two teenagers, a pit bull and two cats. She is an animal lover and personal trainer, so being outside and moving with the clients' fur-babies is a win-win and comes naturally to her. |
Peyton
Hello, my name is Peyton. I have a rescue chihuahua that is my world. I also have two rescue cats which are so lovable. I have an Associate Degree in Science and hope to continue my education in psychology. I enjoy spending time outdoors, painting and photography. I have been called an animal whisperer more than once. I have always had a deep admiration for animals; I want them to feel comfortable and loved. |
