Dog Walking Arlington Ridge

“Ciara was great with our two large goldens and was super communicative. She made sure our older girl didn’t walk too much in the heat and let us know how they were doing during the walk. Will definitely be using her for more walks in the future!”

Samantha B.

“This was my dog’s first walk with Youlee. My dog was nervous at first but when she came home she was so happy! Youlee was on time and sent lots of photos and videos. I’ll definitely hire her again.”

About: Raising my own two dogs, Misha and Raya, has taught me that every pup has their own unique personality and needs. I am highly dependable, active, and detail-oriented, meaning I will always show up on time and follow your exact care instructions. Your furry best friend will be in safe, structured, and loving hands. Expect great communication and lots of picture updates! I am working full-time Monday-Friday and have occasional weekend work trips. Mostly available during weekends but can be flexible during weekdays if in a close-enough radius. Safety is my absolute baseline. I have a meticulous, detail-oriented mindset and maintain high situational awareness during all walks, keeping a close eye out for potential hazards, busy traffic, or off-leash animals. I am physically capable of handling large, strong, or reactive breeds safely, and I never cut corners when it comes to securing harnesses, leashes, or gates.

About: ​I am a huge dog lover and a very active person. I have my own dog back in my home country (Peru) who I miss very much, so I know exactly how to give your furry best friend all the love, patience, and care they deserve. I love taking long daily walks around the Arlington and Crystal City areas. I am a native Spanish speaker and currently studying English at an intermediate level. I am very comfortable communicating via text messages through the Rover app to send you quick updates and photos of your dog while you are away. I can't wait to meet your pup! My schedule is incredibly flexible right now, meaning I can easily adapt to your dog's daily walking needs. I am available throughout the week and on weekends for morning, afternoon, or evening walks. Whether you need a quick mid-day stroll while you are at work or a long evening walk around the neighborhood, I am ready to help. Since I focus exclusively on dog walking, safety during our routes is my top priority. I always ensure harnesses and collars are perfectly secure before stepping outside. I stay highly attentive to our surroundings, keeping your dog safe from traffic or other unpredictable animals, and I always make sure they stay hydrated and comfortable during our walks together.

“Our Ollie absolutely loves Daniel! From the moment he walked in for the meet and greet they hit it off great! Daniel is very punctual, dependable and communicative. I absolutely trust him with my leash temperamental dog and looking forward to more lunch time adventures for them.”

“Ann did a great job with Grover. She provided pictures and thorough descriptions of the walk. I will definitely be using Ann for many walks in the future!”

About: Leaving your pet with someone else is a big deal — you want to know they're safe, loved, and in good hands. That's what I'm here for. I've been around animals my whole life, from my own pets growing up to regularly caring for friends' cats/pups as an adult, plus 3 years of pet sitting through Trusted Housesitters. I'm used to stepping into a pet's routine and making sure they feel comfortable the whole time their people are away. Right now isn't the right time for me to have a pet of my own, so caring for yours is something I genuinely look forward to. I have a real soft spot for older dogs, but I'm just as happy with energetic pups who need to burn off steam. Whatever your pet needs — a long walk, medication assistance, a game of fetch, zoomies release or just some couch time — I'll meet them where they are. If you're looking for someone who'll treat your pet like their own, I'd love to meet you both! I work full time from home, which means I'm around and flexible throughout the day — not tied to a 9-to-5 that keeps me away for long stretches. I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or playtime between meetings, and I'm also open to house sitting or overnight stays when needed. Because I'm home so often, I can usually accommodate last-minute bookings too. When in your home, your pet's comfort and safety come first! More than happy to follow any safety measures that help keep your pet safe and happy.

“Orianne was absolutely great! She really helped out when I had to go out of town last minute. Winston had a great time and I’m sure loved all the cuddles.”

“Robert is absolutely amazing! My pup really loves spending time with him. He is always professional and kind. I high recommend booking with him.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs as long as I can remember. Every breed from labs to doodles to yorkies. I’ve trained puppies and cared for dogs after health emergencies. I’m excited to meet your fur baby! I’m a full time medical resident who’s interested in walking dogs in the evenings and sitting for dogs on weekends. Interested in incorporating your dogs schedule into my routine I attentively listen to the instructions of the guardian to ensure full understanding of their expectations. I actively observe the surroundings both outside and in the home to avoid issues before they arise. My goal is to have a safe, fun adventure with your companion before they excitedly return into your care

“Ana is a very caring and reliable person who genuinely loves dogs. It’s such a great relief to know that my furry son is in her care. I always feel confident knowing he’s happy and well cared for. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

About: Dogs have been a big part of my life since 2010, and for the past four years, I’ve had the joy of raising and training my own Goldendoodle. She goes just about everywhere with me, and together we love staying active through walks, runs, hikes, and outdoor adventures! I’m currently taking a sabbatical after 10 years in the military, giving me a flexible schedule and the ability to provide attentive, reliable care. Whether your pup loves an adventure or simply needs a patient companion, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m a trustworthy, communicative caregiver who will treat both your dog and your home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I currently have a flexible schedule and the ability to accommodate most times of day, walk lengths, and pet-sitting commitments. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a longer adventure, or consistent care while you’re away, I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits their needs. Safety, trust, and dependability are at the heart of the care I provide. After 10 years in the military, I deeply value integrity and respect in every aspect of life and work. You can feel confident trusting me in your home and with your pet- I will treat both with the same care, responsibility, and respect I would expect for my own.

About: I've taken care of family friends' homes and pets since I was in high school and have had cats in my home since I was born. I have taken care of multiple dogs at a time, I am responsible, reliable, clean, and comfortable in other's homes. I also have lots of experience babysitting and teaching so I have lots of experience in care-focused environments. I work full time, but work 4 days a week at home. I have lots of time during my day and after work to take care of your pets! I live in an apartment building with a cat, so cannot take animals into my own home but have lots of experience taking care of pets in other's homes. I am reliable and have lived on my own for the last 5 years so I know how to keep a space clean and safe and also how to take care of pets according to any instruction given by their owners.

“Great communication, always met our scheduled time, and even helped us all out when there was an accident inside. Looking forward to working with him again!”

“Thomas is awesome! I have used his services multiple times and he is great. He is flexible when needed and very communicative throughout the service. My dog adores him!”

About: I had my dog for 11 years of my life, until she recently passed. I’ve also cared for my neighbors cat for two years. While I miss my pet, I would find so much joy in caring for yours! I’m currently home for the summer from college, and I have a very free summer! I am super flexible and can care for your fur babies whenever you need! I have a fenced yard, and when I am out of my house the pet would be safely confined to one room and made as comfortable as possible. I am fully comfortable walking your dog as needed, and having play time!

About: I lived with and took care of my sisters 2 dogs (1 husky puppy and 1 adult husky/german mix). I then moved to Austin and wanted to continue having dogs in my life, so started up a Rover account! I continued sitting through Rover during my two years as a Masters Student at Georgetown, and am glad to be able to continue sitting after graduating! I just graduated from my Masters program, so am very available as I continue to job hunt! My weekends are very busy due to weddings out-of-state, but during the weekdays I am available! Before confirming on a booking I go through an extensive list of questions regarding anything from leash reactiveness and appropriate ways to approach your dog, to walk routes that are familiar and comfortable for your dog. I always want to ensure my sitting periods are as stress-free and “normal” as I can make them.

About: I’ve been a dog sitter for friends and family for over 7 years. I love dog walking and giving dogs the opportunity to sniff and play during their time outside. I also am a cat mom and cat whisperer. My family has 5 cats and I have 1 so I am very well versed in understanding cat body language and boundaries. I work remotely and have a lot of down time between my meetings. My work schedule is pretty flexible and I am able to take some time off during the day if need be for pet care. I live in an apartment, with many parks around me for dog walks. I have a balcony in my apartment and am vigilant to never let animals out there for safety purposes.
