Hi! My name is Bailey and I work as a Veterinary Assistant at an animal hospital, and am going to school to be a Vet tech, essentially nursing for animals. I've grown up with dogs in my home and have always been a huge animal lover. I've been walking dogs & caring for both dogs & cats for 7 years. I am comfortable with any pets including ones who may have special needs. I am active & am always happy to run or do fast walks if you have high energy pups!!

Best Dog Neighborhoods in Henrico County
Byrd Park

Dog Parks
Population DensityByrd Park
48Next to the James River in Byrd Park is a nice, fenced dog park called Barker Field where you can let your pup off the leash to enjoy some time with other doggies. The place has a lot to offer, including benches, shade, poop baggies, different doggie toys, and plenty of canine company! You should know that the park has water available, but only in-season, so in the colder months, you should bring some with you. The only problem with this park is that it tends to get really crowded on the weekends. However, if your pup is a social butterfly, that might a plus rather than a problem!
