Same-day booking in as little as 2 hours. Built on Fear Free principles. Fully insured and bonded.
When you hand over your house key and trust someone with your dog, “good enough” isn’t good enough. Tuckered Out Dog Walking has earned 59+ five-star Google reviews and the CommunityVotes Richmond 2025 Winner award by operating at a standard most pet care companies won’t commit to.
We are Richmond’s only dog walking company offering same-day, on-demand booking with a two-hour turnaround. That means when your meeting runs long or your plans change, your dog still gets their walk.
Fully vetted, W-2 employees. Every walker on our team is a direct employee, not a gig contractor. We accept fewer than 1 in 200 applicants and put every new hire through a 24-hour training program before they ever enter a client’s home. Your dog is walked by a professional, not a stranger who signed up yesterday.
Insured, bonded, and certified. We carry full liability coverage, workers’ compensation, and bonding. Our entire team is Fear Free Certified and CPR/First Aid certified through Pet Pro Hero. We hold active membership in the Pet Sitters International (PSI) professional association.
Force-free philosophy. Every service we provide is rooted in positive reinforcement. No corrections, no fear, no force.

BOOK YOUR MEET & GREET
Every new client begins with a Meet & Greet. This is a formal assessment, not a quick hello. We learn your dog’s needs, your household routine, and any considerations that affect care quality. It’s the first step in a relationship built on trust.
