Dog Walking in Ballston-Virginia Square, Arlington, VA

About: Hi! My husband, Chris, and I would love to take care of your precious pets! I have spent my whole life around animals and have had my own pets at home for the past 20 years. If you leave your pets with us, you can rest assured that they'll be happy and well cared for while you're away. I have extensive experience with many breeds, sizes, and ages of dogs and cats. I have always trained my own pets and they are well-behaved. We love going on nice walks with dogs, or taking them to a park if your pet prefers it. Your pet will get as much exercise as they want while they're in our care! We foster and volunteer often for several animal rescues in the area, and have extensive experience with newborns, puppies, seniors, reactive, and high-maintenance pets. We are both very comfortable administering all types of medications. My husband and I are both on sabbatical, so we are available 24/7 for your pets! Whether in our home or yours, we will be with your pets without any work-related distractions. Our house has a fully fenced good size yard in a quiet neighborhood. While with us, your dog will get to go outside as often as they like, and will get daily walks also! We have tons of dog toys inside to play with when not in the yard.

About: Dogs my entire life. Work from home 24/7 so will always be around. Have a bernedoodle and labradoodle who love other dogs. At least 5 walks a day and all the treats. Since I work from home, I normally walk the dogs at 8am, 10am, 1pm, 5pm, and 10pm. Can adjust more or less or an independent walk depending on you needs. I'm always around regardless when I'm watching someone else's pet. 5 walks a day, can do bathing - I don't wash head or ears - I don't risk ear infection due to water getting in. Have a professional pet drying and pet bathing set up in my own home. Dog walks are outside, I keep on the leash and we have a small park and walking trail I use - I prefer to always keep on the leash given the high squirrel and chipmunk population.

“Stephanie had done a wonderful job walking my dog, Mikey! She was very communicative and left great notes and pictures during his walks. He can be energetic, but she really handled his wild side without any problem. I could tell that she has a real love for dogs and felt like she was taking care of Mikey the way she would her own pup.”

“Thank you for the tpy for Lucy. She loves it!”

“We are new clients with Anthony and will most definitely be regulars. He took great care with our dog and does a wonderful job of communicating. We plan to have Anthony stay in our home to pet/house sit. It is a relief to know that we will be leaving both in such capable, caring hands!”

“My Pup and I LOVE Lilly, she’s professional, trustworthy kind and truly treats my pup like her own! I work long hours in the city and can always count on Lily whether it’s a scheduled walk or a spontaneous drop in or even a last minute “hey I need to work late can you help me out” ! Thank Lilly for being so great to both Paddy and I!!”

“Rebekah goes above and beyond as a dog walker! A natural with my pup, always on time, willing to work with my schedule, would definitely recommend to a friend!”

“Brad has taken care of my dog many times and does a great job, she absolutely LOVES him. He plays with her in the yard, takes her for walks, and gives her lots of treats! I can always relax when I leave her with him because I know she will be safe and enjoy her time with him! I would recommend him to anyone and will continue to book with him.”

“Isabel was always on time, gave great updates, and took my dog, Doc, out on nice long walks every day while I was in the office - she went above and beyond! I would definitely recommend booking with her”

“My pups care can be very difficult and Andrea really mastered everything so well!! Glad she was around to take Ruby on her walk!”

“Iryna was fantastic. She was great at communicating, and Waffles had a great time with her. I never thought I would need a dog walker, but I am injured, and she was a lifesaver.”

“Dani is a wonderful walker for my pup! She was patient and gentle with her as they got to know each other, energetic during their walks, and loving during their visits - providing cuddles, treats & toy play time. I am looking forward to using Dani for many walks to come!”

“Erica was wonderful! We needed a last-minute walker and she was super responsive, and even ended up walking Captain the next day, too. He had so much fun and looked happy in the pictures she took :)”

“William really helped me out when I had to head out of town for the week. I had someone to watch Roxi but need daily walks. William took Roxi, who is a strong girl, on vigorous walks. Just what Roxi needed!”

“Benji has taken such good care of my dog since he started walking her regularly when I am at work. He always communicates with me if there are any issues or if I need to be aware of something, which I really appreciate. My dog has had a few skin issues that Benji has been more than willing to help out with when he comes to walk her. I would highly recommend Benji to anyone looking for a dog walker!”

“Neil has a wonderful dog named Phoebe who he treats like his child. She is loved, pampered, well-groomed and very well-trained. They enjoy long walks all over the city. He will take great care of your pet.”

“Neal just started walking our senior GSD mix and we’re all thrilled with the arrangement. He’s been responsive, reliable, and gets along great with our quirky, barky pup.”

“Simply AMAZING! I was overhearing in my room and she didn’t know I was home. When she came in to pick up my pup for a walk she was patient and made sure he had water in his bowl before the walk so when he comes back he can have water. She goes over and beyond and I am so grateful!”

“Thank you for taking care of Roan on such short notice. Appreciate all your help! I’m glad I’ve found someone dependable (whom my dog likes!) in the area. Thanks again!”

“Diego is great with our puppy on his weekly walk with her! We feel comfortable knowing he's checking in on her while we're away and his communication is great. We tried other services before finding Diego, but they didn't walk the full time and left our dog feeling anxious. Now, she's happy and calm when we come home!”
