Dog Walking Catharpin

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life. Growing up, our home was always filled with pets, and they were truly part of the family. Our cat lived to be 17—he loved being held like a baby, joined us at the dinner table, and never turned down cuddles. Later, I had a Golden Retriever/Husky mix named Bella, who was by my side for 10 wonderful years. She welcomed both of my daughters home from the hospital, and she’s still a big part of our family’s memories. Today, we have Penny, our lovable Chihuahua/Terrier mix, whom we adopted when she was 9 months old. She keeps us laughing every day and reminds us how much joy a pet brings to a home. As a mom, one of the greatest lessons I can teach my daughters is how to love and care for animals with kindness and compassion. Pets aren’t “just animals” to us—they’re family. I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide dependable drop-in visits, walks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply having someone sit with them for cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I believe walks should be more than just exercise—they’re an adventure full of exciting smells, exploration, and enrichment. I’ll always let your dog set the pace and make sure they have fun while staying safe. When your pet is with me, you can expect: * Plenty of love, attention, and affection * Photo updates during every visit * Respect for your pet’s routine and your home * Reliable, on-time care you can count on * Treating your pet as if they were one of my own I know how hard it is to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is safe, loved, and excited to see me every time I visit. I currently have a full-time job that is work from home. This allows me time to walk my dog, and yours too! It's the breaks in my day that I enjoy it the most! I am a very affectionate, loving pet care taker. I have always spoiled my pets, and others too! The walk is the highlight of my dogs day, so I make sure she gets her sniffs in, and enjoys every second. It's a bonus for me for the exercise! I just enjoy watching her be happy.

About: I’ve grown up with all types of animals since I was a kid including dogs, cats, horses, cows, chickens, peacocks, etc. I am comfortable working with most animals and will treat your furry friend as if they were my own. I currently have my own 7yo Boston Terrier/ French Bulldog named Milo! I recently started my doctorate in Clinical Psychology and am looking for ways to make some money in my free time. I am currently available all day Friday and on the weekends. I formerly worked as a probation officer so I am extremely trustworthy, hardworking, and dependable! I am comfortable and respectful working in others’ homes, and will follow all care instructions to meet a pet’s specific needs. Additionally, I am comfortable feeding or administering medications if needed. I will always prioritize your pet’s health and safety, and will likely avoid interactions with other pets unless an owner indicates that their dog is friendly with other animals.

“Alexandra is friendly and knowledgeable about dog walking/care and was flexible in taking care of Winston on short notice. Alexandra was timely in her visits, provided full details on her visit including photos. We would recommend Alexandra to others and will use Alexandra in the future. Thanks Alexandra.”

“I'm so glad I found Nouf! She was punctual for every walk and kept me in the loop with photo updates. My dog was thrilled to see her again during her second visit. I’ll definitely be booking with Nouf again whenever the need arises.”

About: I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I have experience caring for pets of all ages from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and TLC. My own 14-year-old dog has taught me that every walk doesn't have to be fast to be meaningful, and I'm happy to match each pet's pace and individual needs. Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine. I care for my own dog daily, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. I understand how important it is for pets to stick to their routines, so whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just spending quality time together, I'm committed to giving every pet the care and attention they deserve. Your pet will be treated like part of the family in my home. I have a gentle, friendly 14-year-old dog who gets along well with other animals. While I don't have a fenced yard, I make sure pets get plenty of exercise and outdoor time through regular leashed walks. I provide a safe, loving environment with lots of attention, playtime, cuddles (if they enjoy them!), and I'll do my best to keep them on the routine they're used to at home.

“I literally can’t thank Sabrila enough! Sabrila is the most trustworthy reliable and kind dog walker ever. She isn’t just a dog walker. She’s a mother and a kind hearted soul! I have a tough time trusting people with my puppy but not with Sabrila. Even when I was away on vacation for a whole week I was able to trust her with Cooper by taking him to the dog park. It’s really a true blessing that I was able to meet such a trusting kind person. Thank you again Sabrila and I can always lean on her if I ever need Cooper to be taken care of while I’m off on vacation or a trip. Thank you x1000!”

About: I grew up taking care of our family dogs as well as having my own dogs as an adult. Sadly, my pup passed away earlier this year and while I am not ready to get another dog of my own, I am excited to help care for yours and give you peace of mind while you are away. I have had little and big dogs in my life and am open to all sizes. Your dog does need to get along well with children as my kids love to play with dogs. They are also used to having a senior dog around as our dog aged so they also know when to give a dog space and be gentle. I work from home most days and your dog will have free rain of our house. I work from home most days so will be around to take your dog for walks as they need them. Your dog will have free rain of our house and we have a nice back outside area to walk or run around in. We also have a beautiful nature trail right behind our neighborhood. I love to spend time playing or just chilling and petting/loving on your dog. I love walks outside and if your dog likes to play with kids we have 5 of them that love dogs. They are also used to senior dogs so know how to be gentle. We do have stairs so your dog needs to be comfortable on stairs or small enough to carry. I will follow whatever your food/med/walk routines are.

“Sarahi was incredible with my dog Eisley. My dog was immediately comfortable with her and was excited for walk time everyday. Would absolutely book her again and the only reason she is not helping any longer is because I am moving.”

“Heidi is the BEST! I had no concerns when my dog was left in her hands. Heidi was very reliable and understanding when it came to taking care of my pup. I 100% recommended booking Heidi to care for your pet, you wont be disappointed.”
