Dog Sitting in Arlington

“Aliza is a warm and friendly sitter who was able to look after our two kitties on relatively short notice. She had some great ideas for how to handle feeding time based on their personalities and food-related behavior. She was also easy to work with. Will hire again!”

About: I’ve been a dog owner for 15+ years and adopted two dogs from North Shore Animal League America. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving lots of love and attention. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I work a part-time job, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I’m able to adjust my routine to fit each pet’s needs, whether that’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, so I make it a priority in my weekly routine. When caring for pets in your home, I follow the your instructions closely to keep your pet on their routine. I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular walks or playtime, and lots of attention. I also respect your home by keeping it clean, secure, and leaving it just as I found it, while keeping you updated with messages and photos.

About: I love being around dogs! I have experience walking and caring for a variety of breeds and personalities. I’m reliable, patient, and make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and gets the exercise they need. Whether it’s a fun walk, playtime, or just some extra attention, I treat every pup like they’re my own. I’m also great at following instructions to make sure your dog’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I work a hybrid role in the tech industry based in the Mid-Hudson Valley, with standard hours from 9 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday. I'm in the office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, but outside of those times, I offer flexible availability. I kindly ask for at least 24 hours' notice to ensure I can plan and provide the best possible care. I take pet safety and comfort very seriously when caring for them in their own space. I follow all client instructions closely and make sure pets feel secure and relaxed in their familiar environment. I always double-check that doors and gates are secure, keep a close eye during walks, and never leave pets unattended. Building trust—with both you and your dog—is my top priority, and I aim to create a calm, caring experience every visit.

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, reptiles my whole life. Now I’m a toddler/cat mom looking to help take care of your fur babies. I’m one of my friends first picks to pet sit or walk their dogs. I’ve sat and walked Australian Cattle Dogs, PitBulls, Labs, Mutts, Chihuahua’s. Any dog big or small is welcome. I will not be offering boarding in my home at this time due to having an elderly cat that I do not wish to stress out. But I am very interested in walking any pups and low maintenance pet sitting. My schedule is very flexible. I’ve been told that my calm demeanor is suitable for anxious dogs. Let me help you! I work full time, 95% remotely. I create my own schedule. This flexibility allows me the opportunity to offer you flexibility and accommodate to various scheduling needs. It can be hard to trust people in your home. I have worked numerous jobs that involve being in people’s homes which involves high level of trust. I have worked for all natural cleaning companies for offices, homes, rentals. I currently work in a field where I do house visits with my clients. I’ve worked as a residential manager for people with disabilities where I managed their finances, property and well-being. I hope my background and experience can give you peace of mind if I must enter your home to pick up your fur baby.

“Mario is awesome! He was very thoughtful and patient with our pets and did a great job of communicating with us while we were away. He really put us at ease. Would highly recommend 👍”

About: For the past 10 years, I've been lucky enough to have an amazing dog in my life. I've watched him grow from the tiniest puppy into a grouchy yet snuggly old man. Keeping him safe, satisfied, and healthy have been priorities whether that meant walking in the rain or making him a hot meal. He is without a doubt one of the most important parts of my life. I understand what it is to place your trust and your pet in someone else’s hands. As a sitter/walker, I would treat your dog as one of my own. I’ve worked with seniors and puppies, walked, played, and trained with them. All animals come with a story; whatever health, safety, and behavioral information you share would be respected and observed. I look forward to meeting you and making sure that your furry loved one gets the attention and services they deserve! As someone who works primarily from home, I have the flexibility to prioritize my dog’s care throughout the day. He gets a minimum of a 1.5-mile walk every single day, rain or shine, and always enjoys a hot meal made with a special mix of healthy, human-grade ingredients added to his kibble—because I believe that quality food equals a happier, healthier pup. I also make sure he has a yard break every 2-3 hours, along with two medium to long walks daily to keep him active and engaged. My routine is built around making sure my dog’s needs are met consistently, and I approach all my pet care with the same level of attention and dedication. Whether it's a regular walk, a healthy meal, or a quick yard break, I ensure that my pets are always well taken care of, just like I would treat your own furry friend! When it comes to dog walking, safety and trust are my top priorities. I’ve learned to anticipate potential issues, whether it’s a skateboarder coming around a corner or a squirrel teasing from the street, ensuring that any situation is handled before it becomes a problem. By understanding an animal’s triggers, I can make every walk a positive, stimulating experience while maintaining control of the leash at all times. For home sitting, whether it’s a dog or cat, I take care to respect the space—both for the animal and the owner’s peace of mind. I always follow the house rules and make sure any specific needs or routines for your pet are respected. Trust is key, and I’m committed to providing a safe, comfortable environment for both you and your furry family member.

About: I work for 2 local school districts and am a true animal lover. I am very respectful, responsible and dependable. My friends and family have always come to me for help and advice regarding their fur babies. I’ve taken care of my own and others loves for over 34 years. I’m looking forward to helping you and your family! With what I do for a living I have lots of down time where I am able to care my time with the fur babies . I will follow exactly how you want your fur babies to be taken care of in your home. Over the years I have learned that it is stressful to move your pet when you vacation or have to go for work. The babies seem to do much better in their normal environment . I will also provide the extra love, kisses and belly rubs . I do need to mention that I will watch your home and take care of the fur babies needs but I do not sleep at my clients homes.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 12 years old and moved in with my dad. He had two red nose pitbulls who I loved and adored. I would play for hours and pet for hours. I would be the one responsible for their walking, feeding, and hygiene (baths, nail cutting, ear cleaning) and I genuinely enjoyed it. My grandparents had a Pomeranian for some years prior, and I would every weekend ask to go and see the dog. I loved him and he loved me, he would jump so high every time I walked through the door! I taught him how to do “paw”, roll over, and many more tricks. When I reached a driving age, my grandparents asked me if I would care for him while they were out of town, which was often. I would either stop in 4x a day for potty breaks and food checks or pick him up and bring him for a car ride and long walks(weather permitting) with a nice treat after. I currently work full time, and am available to care for your pet(s) Fridays after 6pm-Sunday night, perfect for pet parents who planned a weekend getaway! I will treat your pet as if they were my own. I talk to them, I give them endless lovin’. I am very observant and take note of what they do/do not like, to avoid upsetting them. Even things like if they were needing to be brushed, have their eyes/ears wiped, I will do it without issue because I would do the same if it were my pet.

“I had Celina walk and feed my dogs two weekends in a row. She made sure to communicate if needed and sent pictures. Both times when I got home dogs were fine and had plenty of water in their bowls. Also I didn’t come home to any messes. I absolutely would book her again!”

About: Hi! My name is Kimmy. I live with my boyfriend and our dog Kahuna. I am very excited to have the opportunity to get to know you and your fur baby! I love all animals in every shape and size. I have always had cats and dogs since I was very young. I have never not had a pet in my home, it just feels empty without them. I have also worked teaching about exotic animals like snakes, lizards and chinchillas! I have assisted in the birth of and care of 5 separate litters of puppies and kittens. I have assisted in end of life care for senior pets with varying medical conditions. I train my dogs with basic commands like sit and stay. I work on recall training with them and mostly walk them off leash, especially when we go hiking. My favorite dog breed is Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I have one dog and his name is Kahuna. He is very mild mannered and loves his snacks. We bring him everywhere with us and I would love to have him tag along on walks with your pup too! I look forward to connecting! Every morning I take my dog out to go to the bathroom in his favorite spots, then we come inside for breakfast. Throughout the day we periodically take him out and go for a short walk. We go for a daily long walk, and go for hikes on the weekends. If we go out to the store our pup always comes along with us! We give him dinner in the evenings and always supplement with treats throughout the day! We have a neutral crate in our home to allow for a safe space for your pup to feel comfortable if they need. I give our dog his own blankets and pillows he likes to sleep on, on our bed and on the couch. He is welcome anywhere in our home. He has his own designated eating station with a water fountain to keep his water fresh. I give him a bath every 3 weeks accompanied with a blow dry. I brush him, moisturize his paws, and brush his teeth everyday. I clean his ears and trim his paws once a month. Whenever we come inside from a walk I wipe his paws with designated doggie paw wipes to keep him, and our home clean. I am very aware of dog safety practices including appropriate leash handling, body language, food safety, proper crating, car safety, and general health practices such as CPR and First Aid.

“Ava was great! Provided pictures and notes each visit, which was especially appreciated as my cat hides when visitors are there so it greatly put my mind at ease to be updated about how much food she ate! Will definitely book Ava again”

About: I loved animals every since I was young. I had pets growing up as a child and loved every bit of taken care of an animal. My schedule is extremely flexible. I'm available during the weekdays and weekends as well. Overnights for me are also available if you planna trip or out of town work. I will make sure the pets are taken care of in a client's home. Making sure animals are fed and if need be walked significantly.

About: I grew up having pets of all kinds. And during the last 4 years I have worked in animal hospitals helping animals! I love animals of all species and hope I can help you with yours! Right now I am working full time, but I can help with pets before or after working hours. I am transitioning into a part time job where I will have more free time for pet care! In my own home, my pets are cared for in the am, in the middle of the day and have playtime in pm on (work days) all day on off days!

“First time using Rover and Sara exceeded my expectations. Communication was great and we loved all the pictures and updates on our fur baby. Definitely recommend!”

About: I have personal experience of taking care of pets. My grandma and mother (r.i.p) always rescued dogs and cats. It was very exciting everytime they came with a new puppy or dog and even kittens or cats! We literally had 17 cats at one time in my life. My family and I had to pitch in and help take care of the cats and dogs. That was a very hard task but we did. I can't go nowhere without asking people may I pet your dog. I want pet owners to know that your pet will be safe and relaxed when their with me. I am a pet lover. I have 2 dogs myself. They love to play. If I didn't have them, I would feel very alone and very depressed. They remind me of my grandmother and mother. I have deerhead Chihuahua and a blue nose pitbull. They are my world. I am currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to play with your pups so I have many activities to do with them to make them happy It depends on the service that I have but I have a yard where I can walk them and play with them outside I will bring them inside for eat to cool down get some water and be loved.
