About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own pets and working in a professional pet-care environment at PetSuites. As a pet owner, I understand the importance of providing animals with proper feeding, fresh water, exercise, attention, and a safe and comfortable environment. I currently care for my two dachshunds, Winston and Kai. My experience at PetSuites has also helped me develop strong skills in customer service, communication, pet handling, cleanliness, and making sure each pet receives attentive and compassionate care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and am available most hours, seven days a week. I can provide consistent, reliable care for pets while giving them plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love. Pet care is already an important part of my daily routine. I care for my two dachshunds, Winston and Kai, by providing meals, fresh water, walks, playtime, exercise, attention, and lots of love. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

“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.”

“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.”

“Isela was an amazing dog walker and took the best care of our pup!! She is super kind and attentive and we always knew our dog was safe and happy with her!”

“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.”

Lee T.

“Great communication, and my dog was so happy after his walk! I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. Would definitely book again!”

Ayana S.

“Al has proven to be trustworthy, reliable, and caring. I have booked Al a couple of times for dog walks while I’ve been out of town, one booking was multiple days in duration. Al is very communicative and attentive. He respects our home and asks questions if he is unsure about something- like access linens to wipe our dog down from the rain. He does little things like this that assure me that Tacoma is well taken care of in our absence. I peak at the cameras from time to time and my Tacoma’s tail is always wagging when he sees Al. He has become our go-to.”

Brooke R.

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.

“Lucia has been walking my puppy and my senior dog almost every day for the past month or so and has been great. She is very communicative, providing photos and updates after every walk. She also is very accommodating when the unexpected comes up such as days when I did not go into the office. She is very reliable and trustworthy.”

Lynn P.

“Daniela was able to walk Brownie on short notice which I really appreciate! Brownie loved her and I would definitely have her walk him again!”

Lianna B.

“What a pleasure Liliana is! She was so patient with both me & my newly adopted pup. She really took the time to understand both of our needs! So happy I found a great dog walker in the area!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life — from our childhood Irish Setter, Sadie, to our five cats and three birds. Beyond family pets, I’ve also cared for my own animals, including my boss’s elderly Chihuahua, Tu, who is now a sweet 15‑year‑old “little old lady” that I look after entirely, as well as my pony, Sea Star. I bottle‑fed Sea Star as a child, trained him to ride, and taught him to pull a cart throughout high school. I have hands-on experience that I believe typical pet-sitters do not hold. Some examples include dog-sitting for our neighbors for two summers in middle school, managing their eight rescue dogs with no issues and also volunteering to feed and care for a friend’s 13 horses once a week, morning and night, throughout an entire winter. I also just completed a 2 month house sitting job for a family this summer. I maintained their home, their many, many plants and also took detailed care of their 3 adorable cats. Over the years, I’ve taken responsibility for all of our family pets as well when parents or siblings have gone away on trips (canaries, parakeets, 2 dogs and 5 cats.) I’m comfortable with animals of every temperament, size, and background, and many people say I have a natural ability to get animals to warm up to me quickly even if they struggle with fear and/or anxiety. I treat every animal as a valuable, sentient creature deserving of respect, patience, and kindness. My priority is always to make them feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Currently I'm in part time online school and only working flexible jobs such as pet-sitting, house sitting, babysitting etc. With this work life, my availability is flexible and I am able to prioritize your pets schedule. I do have resposibilities at my church on Sundays and Tuesdays for part of the day and am also driving two high-school girls to and from school every other week consistently. These are the only set in stone commitments I have currently. I do not guarantee full 24/7 care however I will do my best to be as available as I can be! I believe that the way a person treats animals reveals their true character so I go out of my way to show honor, patience and tender love to all animals, no matter there species or personalities. I will prioritize creating a calm, safe, and loving environment for every animal. I will also follow all rules and routines to ensure that every animal under my care is comfortable and not thrown off. In a client’s home, I will maintain their established feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any training or behavioral expectations the owner has in place. I make sure water is always fresh, the space stays clean, and the pet receives plenty of attention and any reassurance they need. I’m attentive to body language and comfort levels, and I adjust my interactions to match each animal’s personality and needs. Safety is always my top priority. I double‑check doors, gates, and enclosures, monitor for any signs of stress or illness, and ensure that walks, playtime, and outdoor time are supervised and appropriate for the pet’s age, energy level, and temperament. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they feel confident and connected while they’re away. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and genuinely cared for, and for every owner to know their animal is in trustworthy, capable hands.

About: Not just another dog lover! I’ve had at least one dog, plus, at all times. Most from a puppy until departure. Experience with rescued dogs in making them feel comfortable/relaxed. We had a rescue from Hurricane Katrina. I’m very patient, caring, & don’t mind petting or playing all day. I’m hoping to give them the love and care when you can’t be ther. I work from home several days during the week and can properly share my time for walks, feeding, and playing. I have a Cocker Spaniel who gets along with other dogs well. I’m home in the evenings and weekends. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex with plenty of grassy areas and usually take my dog on a walk in the neighborhood. I don’t have any furniture or bed restrictions. I am happy to sit at your home, if preferred.

“Christy was able to take care of our dog Cooper with late notice. It was our first time having someone take care of our dog while we were on a day trip. Christy communicated with us throughout the day and sent pictures. She really seems to be a caring person. She was very responsive to our dogs needs. We would absolutely callI on her again and would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Jocelyn took great care of Rosa during her walks. Very responsive, on time, and sent lots of pics. Will definitely be reaching out to her again, and highly recommend her.”
