Dog Walking Ashton Heights

About: I have loved dogs since I could remember. I’ve had pups of my own and currently have a small Yorkie who I adore, but grew up with a German shepherd who was the best. I’m a nurse and am looking to maximize my puppy time on my time off! I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I’m more than happy to administer medication if needed. Whatever you need, I’m here for you! I’m happy to do drop ins, walks, feeding, whatever you need! I only work 3 days per week and have a lot of flexibility for morning and mid day walks. I live in a pet friendly building with a dog run. I’m happy to crate your pups if that is how they feel safest. I have one 7 year old Yorkie.

“Isabella was awesome. She gave Franny extra time on walks, was easy to communicate with and very reliable. Would 10/10 recommend.”

“Sam came by to meet & greet our pup Zoey ahead of scheduling weekly walks. She is clearly well tuned to Zoey’s needs & takes good care of pups writ large!”

“Dominique was amazing. I was in a little bit of a bind and he came through for me. Trusting that what I told him regarding my pups was the truth (that they are super friendly) and walked them without having met them. Followed all the instructions with out issue. I AM so glad to have found him here.”

“Eric has been great! He is very patient with our puppy who is scared of everything. He is also incredibly communicative about any scheduling issues or concerns.”

About: I've had dogs and cats in my life since I was 6 — including a big drooling bullmastiff and a German shepherd growing up. As an adult I owned two cats, and for the past 8 years I've regularly cared for friends' dogs and cats. I work from home, so I'm very flexible. I've been living very close to Virginia square metro for the last 10 years. I will be doing walks around this area only. I live in an apartment building. Currently I am not accepting pets to stay over night, because I already have a pet and the apartment would be too crowded for 2 pets.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for many years, and each experience has taught me how to be patient, loving, and responsible. I looked after my sweet poodle for 17 years, especially when she grew older and developed Alzheimer’s. It was a challenging time, but I cared for her with all my heart. I also helped care for dogs adopted by my family. My elderly aunt adopted a street dog named Fred, and since she couldn’t manage walks and vet visits on her own, I was the one who took care of him. Later, my grandmother adopted another rescue named Bruce, and I became his main walking companion because of her limited mobility. Currently, I live with my host family, and they have a wonderful rescue dog named Rosie. Whenever they travel, I’m fully responsible for her care — from walks to cuddles — and she has truly become my best friend. These experiences taught me how to adapt to the unique needs of each dog, whether they’re seniors, rescues, or playful companions. I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I currently have a very flexible routine, which allows me to adapt easily to your pet’s needs. I can adjust my schedule to make sure they’re cared for and happy. When caring for pets, my priority is always their safety and comfort. I make sure to follow their usual routines, from feeding and walks to playtime and rest, so they feel secure and at ease. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and I’m always careful with doors, leashes, and surroundings during walks. Whether in my client’s home or with a pet I’m sitting, I treat their space with respect and keep everything clean and organized. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, so I do everything with responsibility and care.

“Shivani was very quick to respond to our request, and was flexible with the timing of the meet-and-greet before the booking. She gave us plenty of feedback throughout the day and took lots of pictures for us as well. Shivani also was on time for both of the walks we requested. She made the process easy for us, and we’d definitely trust her with our pups again.”

About: I love being around animals and have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I own a rescue dog, which has taught me the importance of patience and providing a safe, loving environment for animals of all backgrounds. I have volunteered for the Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation and the Animal Welfare League of Arlington where I have looked after dogs and cats of various sizes, ages, energy levels, and temperaments. I have a flexible schedule and committed to ensuring pets feel comfortable, happy, and well-cared for while their families are away. I have recently graduated from William & Mary and have an open schedule with the flexibility to walk, feed, care, and tend to your pet during your preferred times of day. I am also available to house sit and stay overnight with your pet. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I will take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to give you peace of mind and ensure the needs of your pet are prioritized. I will provide updates, send photos of your pet, and communicate clearly. I am respectful, accountable, and will closely follow any instructions you have set for your pet.

“Anne has been a godsend since my return to the office 5 days a week. She is a great communicator and sends really cute photos. Highly recommend!”

“Angela was absolutely wonderful with my dogs. They can be a handful so I appreciated her attentiveness to them. She was always punctual and an excellent communicator. I definitely plan to book her again.”

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs all my life! I am experienced with reactive dogs as well! I am about to get a puppy myself in my home! Please consider that if you intend on boarding with me. I work remote so I am able to drop by and let your pet out/ play/ walk your pet as needed! I understand feeling guilty about letting your pet be home alone all day and I’m here to help! I also am experienced with reactive dogs too! I will be getting a puppy July 2026 as well so please take that into consideration when booking boarding. I will always be cautious of entering your home and leaving your home to prevent any type of escapes and make sure that they are content before I leave and make sure nothing is in reach to maximum safety!

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 15 years old. Lots of experience with playing, feeding, walking, and bathing pets if necessary. Comfortable working with pups and kitties of all ages and sizes. I work from home full time so can step out during the day and work around any scheduled meetings I have. Happy to check in multiple times a day or whenever preferred. I can drive to your home to accommodate you and your pets schedule. Also happy to send pictures, updates and spend however long preferred with your furry friend.

“Anja did an excellent job walking Maverick. She’s timely, communicative, and so sweet with my pup! Mav and I hope to see Anja again soon and I highly recommend her!”

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’ve had dogs my whole life. In college I fostered about 10 different dogs age ranges from 12 weeks-14 years old. Lots of different dog types, personalities, and foster reasons. I love them all and will love to spend time with your pup! I work from home 3x a week and my schedule is flexible! I walk everyday and would love to have a walking buddy while helping out an owner! I have a fenced in yard if needed for a dog to play. I am very responsible when it comes to the care of the dog and the home of the owner. It would be like I wasn’t even there!
