A Different Kind of Dog Walking Company
Top Dog Walk is an award-winning, employee-based dog walking and pet sitting company serving Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Chesapeake, Virginia.
We are consistently recognized as one of the best dog walking services in the area, including ThreeBestRated®, Expertise “Best Dog Walkers,” and Best of Norfolk Hall of Fame, and maintain an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. We’ve also earned Yelp’s “People Love Us” badge, and a 5-star rating on Google, with clients consistently highlighting our reliability and communication.
Unlike app-based platforms and independent contractors, we use a trained employee team with built-in backup coverage, so your dog’s care is never dependent on just one person showing up.
Just as importantly, we believe client care matters as much as dog care.
That means clear communication, responsiveness when you need us, and a team that takes ownership. If something ever needs attention, we handle it—quickly and professionally—so you’re never left chasing answers.

"The sitters at Top Dog Walk ease my "mom guilt" while I am at work all day. My dogs love seeing the walkers and I love getting the daily updates with pictures."
Hannah E, Norfolk, VA
The Top Dog Walk crew is so professional and takes great care of my pup while I'm away at work. I get updates on how his walks go daily, and everyone is very kind and responsive. I absolutely recommend this company (and so does my dog)!"
Karen J, Virginia Beach, VA
Both walkers have really connected with Rosie and know that her favorite part of the walk is a belly rub. They are professionals who can be trusted to build a relationship with your dog. So glad I connected with them!"

What Pet Parents Are Saying About Top Dog Walk
ABSOLUTELY PICK THIS TEAM! I have nothing but amazing things to say about them. I am new to the area and I get very nervous about leaving my fur babies alone especially with strangers but from the moment of first communication to the home visit I felt that my boys were in excellent hands.
For reference I have a large senior dog and an adult very small dog, the team has experience and take wonderful care of them.
I get daily pictures from their daily walks, as well as updates. It’s a wonderful service that I use daily. I can not recommend this company enough!!
