Dog Sitting Arlington

About: Hello there! I’m Kathleen, I am working from home most days and would love to spend time with your cat or dog! Whether it’s a daytime walk or a long term stay, i have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and many stages of life, and health. I also love feline friends, and even have cared for a very temperamental bird. My own dog just passed away and required a lot of extra help in his older days. Patience and kindness. ♥️ I have a full-time job, but I’m working from home most days. Typically Thursdays are office days but I have a great deal of flexibility! That means a lot of walks and play throughout the day. Whether your baby is coming for a sleepover here or me to you, I’ll do my best to keep them happy and stress free while we are waiting for you guys to reunite. :)

“Ethan was amazing!!! He went above and beyond. He made sure to play with Hershey a ton ( he’s a super energetic kitten!) and made me feel so much better that he understood a 2.5 month old kittens needs. Ethan even went above and beyond with tying the trash for me. Sent me tons of photos as I was a worrisome new cat mom. He stayed in contact and it was comforting. Will definitely be booking him everytime going forward! He was also available last minute which was extremely gracious of him. Appreciate you Ethan!”

About: I've taken care of cats, dogs, bunnies, and horses and love all of our furry friends! I am responsible, respectful and accommodating and will be sure to make you and your pets comfortable while you're away. I'm always looking for an excuse to be around our furry friends! Currently have a very flexible schedule to help out with your pet I am happy to accommodate according to your pet's needs. Let me know if there are any special circumstances that would help your peace of mind!

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover. I shared my home with a dog for 12 years, and I've had a cat since 2014, so I know how much your pet means to you and what they need when you're away. I have two children, ages 7 and 10, in school, and I'm responsible for taking them to and picking them up. I'm also looking to use my free time to take care of pets. I had dogs for many years and now I let my two wonderful cats roam freely in the house. I am responsible for cleaning and I spend hours petting and playing with the baby.

About: Hi, I’m Felipe! I’m a dog dad to Luna, and I know how much trust it takes to let someone care for your pet. I grew up around dogs and cats and now walk dogs professionally in Arlington. I’ve cared for pets with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I take the time to learn what helps each one feel comfortable. Whether your dog loves an energetic walk or prefers a slower outing with plenty of sniffing, I’ll follow their routine and your instructions. I’m also happy to reinforce familiar cues and good walking habits using the approach you already practice at home. For cat visits, I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter-box care, playtime, and company, while respecting cats who prefer a little space. You can expect thoughtful care, photo updates, and clear communication. My goal is for you to feel comfortable knowing how your pet is doing while you’re away. I speak English and Spanish. I’d love to meet you and your pet! I’m currently welcoming dog-walking and drop-in clients in Arlington, especially on weekdays. I already work in the area and would love to build lasting relationships with nearby pets and their families. Please message me with your neighborhood and preferred time so we can find a schedule that works. Overnight care is arranged individually, including whether my dog Luna can join me. Before our first visit, I’ll ask about your pet’s routine, leash behavior, triggers, feeding instructions, and emergency contacts. I’m happy to arrange a meet and greet so we can get comfortable with each other. I follow your instructions, keep dogs leashed during walks, and avoid introductions to unfamiliar animals without your permission. I’ll also respect your home and check that doors and gates are secure before leaving. Luna would only join an overnight stay with your explicit approval and after we’ve discussed compatibility and a safe arrangement.

About: I grew up with a dog and cat and pet sat for people since 2013. I took a pre-vet class throughout high school where I learned about feeding, cutting nails, grooming, restraint, etc. I also worked as a vet assistant for a few years where I expanded on those skills and learned what to look out for and how to care for any type of pet. I work from home a decent bit and/or work half days so I am pretty flexible during the week days. My work is also flexible so I can prioritize the times you need me to be there. Since I have 2 cats in a one bedroom apartment, I won't be bringing pets to my place. When I go to your home, I will try to make the pets feel comfortable and be a happy smiling face to them. Of course, I will give them some love, pets, food, water, or whatever you and the pet need from me!

“Excellent communication and friendliness! Kristen followed instructions, kept up to date on my cats with lots of cute pictures, and provided lots of scatches and cuddles. She even arrived early to check on a possible health concern with one of them. Seems like they loved her, and I'll definitely continue using her for all my cat sitting needs!”

About: I grew up on a farm raising dogs from pregnancy and new litters to old age. I have trained and raised beagles and jack russels for 20+ years. I have one dog and one kitty at home! I work from home and am looking forward to get out of the house to meet, walk, and love your pet babies. Whatever you need, you can trust me to help out! Safety and trust is first and foremost. Animals can’t speak for themselves and you are trusting me to be in your home and with your animal you love. I will never take that for granted.

“Quincy was so nice and calm with our baby uno! He enjoyed meeting her and we are looking forward to continuing to work with her! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve owned my dog for 8 years and have volunteered at dog shelters as a dog walker for over 7 years. I have also completed Pat Miller’s Level 1 dog training academy. I have experience with reactive and fearful dogs. I work full time, but I can walk dogs on my lunch break or after work. I use force free training and positive reinforcement with my dog. I use force free training with my dog, so I’m not comfortable with choke/prong/shock collars. I use positive reinforcement to get the desired behavior. I have experience with reactive and fearful dogs.

“Phoebe was great! She took good care of Fern (including giving her an inhaler for her asthma) and sent us excellent pictures.”

“Carli is a wonderful cat sitter and my kitties love playing with her. She is great with updating me on her time with them, amazing communication and trust her when I’m away with my furry babies. Thank you for all your help!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I get to know dogs very quickly and they always feel safe around me! I haven’t had 1 dog that doesn’t love me. Will always listen to your directions based on the dog. I can do during the day mostly, not very picky about times. I can work around even if I am busy. I love walking and so do dogs. I make sure they sniff me first before going into petting. I make sure they feel safe and now scared around me. Every dog i’ve met has not had a problem with me at all. I bring good vibes!

“Julia is the best dog sitter we've ever had. She is very patient with our dog and observant of her habits and tricks. She really understand a dog's behavior and personality. Her professionalism and patience overcame our dog's initial wariness and won and quickly won her trust. She was great with communication, always sending detailed reports with highlights and photos. We would definitely book again for future needs.”

“Samantha was amazing watching my two cats while I was traveling for the holidays! She sends great photos and the whole time I felt that they were being loved and taken care of. Definitely recommend!”

“Arial looked after my two cats during our honeymoon and she was great! Sent us pictures and my cats seemed to be in high spirits when we returned!”

About: I have walked or dog sat for around a decade. I am comfortable around dogs of all sizes and need levels. I have cared for senior dogs as well as multiple dogs at a time. Feel free to reach out and ask questions to see if I’ll be a good fit! I have a flexible schedule and I also enjoy going on walks and would love to have furry company for them! I am available for walking your pet, or drop in visits to check on them during the day. I have pet sat for friends and family members over the last decade. I recently relocated to Arlington. I am comfortable watching your pet in your home. I have an apartment with my cat Binx and he is on a speciality diet that makes it difficult to have other animals around.

About: I have had a dog since I was 10 and learned all the responsibilities that come along with raising a dog. I have walked dogs for Wag during a summer when I was home from college and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have also looked after cats when their owners were away. I absolutely love dogs (and cats) and I would be so happy to spend some time with them. I work a full time job but 3 days a week I work from home so I can be flexible on those days with walk times. If you have any particular rules or expectations I am happy to listen and learn. I want your pets safe and happy and I intend to make that happen.

About: I have cared dogs of all ages and multiple different breeds. Personally, I grew up with large dog breeds like golden retrievers and bernese mountain dogs. I also have experience with terriers. I am in graduate school and I take my classes from my home. I have a flexible schedule and am able to care for your dog during the work day. I will happily follow any instructions you provide me in caring for your dog. I am able to walk them around the neighborhood as much or as little as they are used to.
