Dog Walking Arlington

“Andrew is a wonderful and communicative dog walker and he’s very good with Casper. He is patient and has taken the time to build a rapport with our dog who can be feisty and tug on walks. Casper loves his walks with Andrew and gets ample exercise and opportunities to relieve himself.”

“Wow, Shawn is AMAZING! Great with our pups. Prompt and very professional communication. Can’t say enough great things about her. Will absolutely work with her again!”

“Eunae was great! She met Audrey beforehand and made sure she understood Audrey’s needs and personality. She was timely and provided lots of photos which I appreciated!”

“Ugur provides top-notch service walking our dog. He is kind and friendly. We hired him to walk our 7-month old puppy and she loves him. Although we hired him to walk our dog, when he came for a meet and greet, our cat warmed up to him immediately and let her pet him, which she normally doesn't do for most people. We highly recommend his services!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and currently have an 11-year-old French Bulldog, so I understand the importance of patient, attentive care and maintaining pets’ routines and comfort. My sweet dog lives with my mom at the moment, so I miss her dearly and hope to get my fill of dog love on Rover! In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve provided boarding and drop-in visits for many dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m experienced with feeding routines, walks, administering basic care, and making pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I always prioritize clear communication and send regular photo updates (I certainly demand many from my mom and would provide the same for you!) so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands. I'm currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of availability to take care of your darling pup or kitty. I am available most weekends and weekday early evenings. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment that keeps pets as close to their normal routine as possible. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications or special instructions, and each pet’s individual personality and comfort level. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, attention, and opportunities for play and rest. I have experience caring for both energetic dogs and older pets, including my own 11-year-old French Bulldog, so I understand the importance of patience, safety, and routine. In clients’ homes, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space. During drop-in visits or house sitting, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, bathroom breaks, fresh water, and affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel informed and reassured while they’re away. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.

“Max was absolutely WONDERFUL with my dog. He did an amazing job taking him for a walk, playing with him with toys, and making sure he had fresh water when he returned from the walk. I would HIGHLY recommend Max to take care of your dog. My dog is very energetic, and Max did an amazing job with him.”

“Victoria was great, she was easy to communicate with and very accommodating for my bernese, she came right to where we were staying for a meet and greet to keep her calm.”

About: I'm an experienced dog-sitter and equestrian who's able to care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and medical needs. I work from home and am able to provide specified care for your pup while you're away, including: frequent walks, hikes in local conservation areas, and the administration of medications. I supervise dogs closely, can provide basic veterinary care, and live near an emergency veterinary office, just in case. I have my own dog in the home. When your dog is with me, they'll be cared for like my own with plenty of exercise, socialization, and love. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible. I currently walk and feed my own dog at 7:00am, noonish, 5:00pm, and 9:30pm. I can provide numerous walks for your dog each day during the week, and will take them local "adventures" on the weekends to local parks, Middlesex Fells Reservation, etc. My own dog is friendly and playful, and will keep your pet company.

“Lindy is great with dogs! She is on time and she follows the lead of the dog that knows his neighborhood. I'll use her again for dog walking needs.”

“Sarah did a wonderful job.. she clearly loves dogs and is very good with dogs. My pup was so comfortable with her. Definitely recommend Sarah.”

“Cassie took great care of Kuzco while I had some late nights at work! She was on time, made sure he had everything he needed, hung with him while he ate dinner, was communicative and very easy to work with. Kuz was clearly very happy and at ease when I got home. Would book her for walks again in a heartbeat!”

Rachel S.

“Alexa is fantastic! We hired her for daily walks, and she shows up on time, walks further than she has to, and provides great feedback through the app. Our dog loves her and she’s great with communication. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I know first hand how much love there is between a dog and their owner. For that reason, I believe trust, transparency, and fun are the pillars of my dog walking service. When you entrust me to care for your pet, I will make sure they are always safe, hydrated, and having fun! I also always send updates after walks letting clients know how the walk went and that dogs are home safe. As a dog owner, I have had family dogs ranging from a 6 lbs Yorkie to a 65 lbs Lab. Outside of my own pets, I have experience cat- and dog-sitting for friends and family and am excited to be able to take on more dog walking clients. I am comfortable walking dogs of many breeds, sizes and ages. I can't wait to meet your furriest family members! I am a graduate student, so I often have a flexible schedule to work around your needs. I am available for early morning and evening walks every day of the week and midday walks every day Wednesday-Sunday. Safety is my top priority for your pet, your home, and myself. This is why before working with your pet, I will request a meet-up with you to better understand your pet. In this meeting we can discuss if your pet has any aggression or fear around other dogs, escape-artist tendencies, or special needs so that walks can be as safe and secure as possible.

“Nicole was very responsible, trustworthy, and responsive. Great help. Thanks!”

“Kind, and good communication. Took my dog on a nice long walk, and through the pictures she took, my dog seemed like a happy pup!”

“Tanya took such good care of Poppy! Poppy loved to see her come and happily went on the walks to roll in the grass and smell every little thing! Tanya had patience! Poppy will miss her!!!”

“I could not recommend Hillary enough! She is kind, patient, communicative and takes the best photos of the best adventures 🥰 She is the perfect choice for someone to trust with your pet!”

“Thanks so much Caroline for taking such good care of our two dogs while we were away - you were a lifesaver! Highly recommended - will certainly use her again!”

About: I am a freelance artist by trade, I'm looking to earn some supplementary by putting to good use my love of animals and experience as a lifetime pet owner. I have been the primary caretaker for animals basically my whole life, growing up alongside furry siblings as long as I can reliably remember, including several dogs with behavioral issues such as separation anxiety and jealousy problems. My mother trained as a vet tech and taught me a lot, and is always happy to help even now if I need an extra hand or some expert advice. I have trained dogs, including potty training and dissuading problem behaviors (excessive barking, begging for food, etc.) I have experience caring for dogs in individual, group, and playgroup settings and love all animals. I cannot drive but I can engage in light to moderate dog walking just fine! I use public transport and ridesharing to get around. If you have any further questions about what might be within my wheelhouse feel more than free to ask! As a freelance artist, my schedule for work is fairly flexible and I can plan around pet care time and stays away from home with a lot of freedom, making it possible for me to keep my schedule fluid and make the animal in my care the priority of my routine. I have an apartment in Arlington I spend most of my time at but it's not the best for pets so for boarding jobs I visit and make use of my parents home in Winchester. They and their dog love the company! It has a fenced outdoor area where dogs can easily run, play, and of course go to the bathroom. It is accessible via a basement door and most dogs get the hang of it pretty easily (but I am happy to provide extra help for dogs who struggle with stairs or need other extra accomodations.) It is also home to my parents who love furry guests, and of course Emma, an extremely friendly and patient English Setter who adores playing hostess! I am also of course happy to visit other homes to care for pets, both for drop ins and overnight. I will always take the safety and cleanliness of your home seriously! In other's homes I'm happy to adapt to what resources are available and what areas and routines the dog is generally used to and comfortable with in their own usual environment!

“Erica was great! She was able to walk Rudy for us on last-minute notice, and he really seemed to like her. She followed through with all the walks and gave us peace of mind for our trip. I'm sure we'll be using her again, and I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking! :-)”
