Dog Walking Braddock Road Metro

About: I've been a long-time cat-person who also has experience adopting a rescue dog and raising her from her puppy years to old age - I'm knowledgeable about training, medication administration, and handling reactive or nervous pets. I've been a pet sitter and house sitter for many years, and would love to support you and your family in your pet care needs. I'm an academic librarian new to NOVA with work from home flexibility. Over the month of December, I have extended time off for the holidays and will be staying in the area. I've been a pet and house sitter and feel confident about coming to your space and paying attention to the details that matter to keep your pet healthy, happy, and safe. I live in an apartment complex and have a cat myself, which I imagine folks will take into consideration in case they want to leave their pet with me.

“Carolina is great! She communicates well and does a great job communicating. My partner has been deployed the past year and I couldn’t have done it without her.”

About: I have dogs and cats, and experience with all types from high energy to seniors! My sweet Australian cattle dog was reactive and high-energy, so I am familiar with training and walking those types of smart dogs. I also have a soft spot for seniors who want to move at their own pace and just want love and attention. I want to help make your life easier and make sure your pets are happy while you're away, I know how much that peace of mind matters when you're away from your babies! I work remote from home so my schedule is pretty flexible! I may have meetings during the week that I can't move, but if time off day for drop-ins or walks is flexible on your side, I can find a time that works. I'd prefer to always do a meet and greet first to know where everything is if I need it -- from leashes and toys to cleaning supplies and emergency contact and vet numbers.

“Randy is an incredible dog sitter. He is communicative, timely, thoughtful, and just all around an asset to the Rover community. He sends plenty of pictures and updates and is incredibly patient with our Golden Retriever puppy, Frankie. I can’t recommend Randy enough!”

“Laura is fantastic. We came from out of town to our daughter’s wedding and she made it so I didn’t feel bad leaving her home alone. Caring and reliable. Great communication. I highly recommend her!”

Victoria B.

“Mounia was fantastic! Great communication throughout, lots of photos, and really patient with both me and my pup - which is especially appreciated since we just moved to the neighborhood. Will definitely book again!”

Kate M.

“Tara was great with our dog Sonny. She walked him, let him decide where to go, and played with him afterwards. Would recommend!”

Colin B.

“Jolene and Squiggy give two paws up! Erin did an amazing job helping us with the pups as we did engagement photos. (Not the usual dog walk!) She helped them look at the camera and squeezed the squeaky ball/called their names. Erin is so helpful and easy going and we loved having her help with this special event! Our dogs love her.”

About: I have a flexible schedule working from home, so I can give your cats the time and attention they deserve. I’m reliable and professional and will ensure your cats are well cared for. I will treat your home with care and respect when I come to care for your cats. I can be trusted to follow instructions, communicate clearly, and take good care of your place. I’m also happy to bring in mail/newspapers, water plants, or take care of any other little task that needs doing.

About: 30 years of experience raising, sitting, and living with dogs and cats in all phases of their lives. My husband and I had our own two dogs for 14 years and are excited to be “aunts and uncles” to others’ pets until we get our own again. I currently work remotely and am very active during the day. Hoping to add a furry friend to the mix so I don’t have to walk alone. Can also pay home visits to care for them as you need. I will respect your home as if it were my own, adhering to any specific security, sanitization, and pet-specific requirements. Your home will be left exactly as I found it.

“Adriana deserves 1000 stars!! I actually booked a dog walk for someone else - My friend is home with a newborn baby and two rowdy labs so I wanted to get her dogs out of the house for a little to help. Adriana messaged me back immediately and was happy to help! She was incredibly accommodating, professional and asked me all of the important questions so she was prepared when she arrived. She sent photos and handled the two labs wonderfully. The dogs loved her and she absolutely made the new mom's day. I would trust her with my dogs any day. Thank you so much Adriana for your kindness!”

“Elena was amazing with my dog! Not only was she sweet to Josie, but she was communicative, organized, and kind. It made my whole week better knowing that I didn’t have to worry about my dog. I’ll definitely rebook!!”

Mackenzie A.

“Timely work updates and genuinely cares about animals too a point where her feedback is very informative.”

“Bailey was great with my dog Trinity this past week. She was punctual and a very good communicator with great pictures. I hate being away from my dog and Bailey created a quick rapport and trust in Rover!”

John S.

“Very responsive and reliable! I requested a last minute booking after my normal dog walker had to cancel and she responded right away. Very good communication and was so great with my dog!”

Shannon W.

“We feel completely at ease knowing Ruby is in such loving, capable hands. We cannot recommend Erin highly enough.”

David C.

“Ilana has been walking our dog for about a year and has also hosted him overnight for a few days. We recently moved out of the neighborhood and will miss Ilana dearly! Our dog looked forward to seeing her every week and always comes back very happy from his walks with her. We are so grateful for Ilana and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter or walker.”

Noemi V.

“Jessica is great! She has a good rapport with Franklin, is communicative, trustworthy and flexible. We will continue to work with her and recommend her to any other pet owners :)”

Chris B.

“Nathan has been walking my dog, Obi, consistently 3 days per week for two weeks and has done a great job! He was patient with my initially skeptical dog and Obi has come to trust him and enjoys their walks! I recommend Nathan's services if you are looking for a dog walker or other support with your dog.”

Kaitlyn R.

“Hilary was great with our pug! She was reliable and provided updates and was even able to get our girl back in her crate after her walk, when she can be a bit stubborn. She was communicative and made booking and everything easy! Will definitely book Hilary again!”
