Dog Walking Centreville

“Alex was great. I appreciated that he took the initiative to schedule a meet and greet before walking Shadow. I got a good vibe from our conversation and meet and greet. Alex seemed comfortable with instructions on handling Shadow's fear/aggression reaction to other dogs. And he was amenable to feeding Shadow on walk day as my neighbor, who usually feeds my animals when I'm away, had a conflict. I was so grateful for that! Lastly, I appreciated the update given with Shadow's walk, letting me know that everything had gone well. I will use Alex again when needed, and highly recommend him to others.”

About: I’ve taken care of cats for most of my life! Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to take care of their cats (feeding, changing litter, enrichment, etc.). I also have two cats of my own and have administered medication orally, topically, and via food. I am very flexible with scheduling. I am willing to work on scheduling conflicts if they arise. Feel free to message me about setting a schedule! When entering, I make sure that the cats are not in the doorway. I also make sure to wash all bowls before feeding and refilling water. For litter changing, I use gloves and ensure that the litter box and surrounding area is clean afterwards. I also respect every cat’s boundaries! I adapt easily to different personalities :)

About: Having pets of my own has taught me how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your animals. I currently have two dogs (our senior cat sadly passed) so I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m very outdoorsy and active, so I love keeping dogs engaged with fun walks, playtime, and lots of attention while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Whether I’m house sitting or out on walks, I focus on giving pets a fun, stress-free experience while keeping owners updated and reassured. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy building trust with every pet I care for. I'm the lady you pass on a hike who smiles and says hi! to your dog first! I’m an avid walker and genuinely love being around animals, so spending time with pets is something I truly enjoy. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or relaxing companionship, I make sure every pet gets lots of attention, care, and affection. I’m available for overnight house sitting and can stay the full night to help pets feel comfortable and secure in their own home. Mornings, evenings, and weekends are also very open for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your furry family members. I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s established schedule, including feeding times, walks, medications, playtime, and bedtime routines. I know pets are most relaxed when they feel secure and familiar, so I focus on giving them calm attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. I’m very attentive on walks and outdoors, always keeping pets safely leashed and away from unsafe situations. I also pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and comfort so I can respond to each pet’s individual needs. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to help owners feel reassured and connected while their pets are in my care. My goal is to ensure your pet wags or purrs like crazy every time I walk in that door!

“Emily is really responsive and took the cutest pictures of both my dog and cat. Detailed report cards that definitely show how much they enjoy their time with her and how much she cares. 10/10 would recommend”

“Shaye took great care of our two dogs! She goes above and beyond and gives a great report after each walk. She also takes great photos of the dogs.”

“Emily was SUPER patient with us and was amazing with our pups! Our pups aren’t the easiest to walk but she was super kind and accommodating. Can’t wait to use her again!”

About: What sets me apart is that I’m not just a sitter—I’m a dog mom myself, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with genuine love, patience, and attention to detail. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or just a calm presence, I’m here to give them the same care and comfort they’d get at home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet the attention they deserve. I’m available for early morning walks, midday drop-ins, and evening snuggles. I also offer overnight care for those who need a loving presence while they’re away. My routine can easily be tailored around your pet’s feeding, walking, and potty schedule. Pet care is a huge part of my life — it’s not something I fit in, it’s something I prioritize. From daily walks with my own dogs to checking in on client pups, I dedicate specific time each day to ensure every dog gets quality care, play, and attention. I always plan my day around their needs, not the other way around. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, safety and comfort always come first. I create a calm, structured environment and supervise interactions closely. I keep a close eye during walks, use secure leashes, and never leave pets unattended. In your home, I respect your space and routines, following any special instructions you leave. I also send plenty of updates, photos, and videos so you always feel connected and reassured.

“Melianna is so kind. I had a last minute thing come up and needed help. She was very responsive and as always made my dog so incredibly happy”

“Fatima is great! Very efficient and does a great job with my strong pittie who loves going outside. Also very communicative with how he’s doing and is punctual with our appointments. Thank you!”

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. I currently have cats, a dog, and a lizard! I have experience pet sitting for family and neighbors. I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I am flexible and can hang out with your pets as much as you would like. I am open to late nights or early mornings as well. I believe that pets are the most comfortable in their own homes. It’s better to come to them so they can stay where they know, rather than having to get comfortable in a new place.

“Forest was super patient with our dog, Carmela, who tends to be nervous around new people. They were super communicative with me and made sure Carm had everything she needed. Thanks again!!”

“My family was very happh with Ji Ung and Hyunjoo taking care of our dog Toast :) They were very nice from the moment we met them and we werr able to explain both on the website as well as inperson any comments or extra details about what Toast might need. They would even send us a couple of videos here and there of him eating or playing which reassured us how well he was taken care of. Thank you both again for taking care of him so well!”

About: I'm a lifetime dog owner who has transitioned his love of dogs into providing excellent care for your dog. As a dog owner who has utilized pet sitter/dog walker services, I appreciate the value of an attentive, caring and responsible walker that's trustworthy with your dog - one that allows you to enjoy your time away worry-free! My personal experience with dogs includes: Training, reconditioning and providing a loving home to a very reactive rescue. Training, providing medical recovery to and providing a loving home to an abandoned puppy. Providing a loving home and an dignity-filled end-of-life experience to two bonded and extremely stubborn senior beagles. Assisted my sister in the raising of three service puppy trainees. My current dog is a ridiculously happy and socialized golden retriever who wants to say hi to EVERYONE and wants every friendly dog to be her friend. You know that one weird friend you have that spends more time in social settings with dogs than people? That's me. I'm here to provide you with a worry-free experience and your dog with a stress-free happy one! I own a four year old golden retriever who simply demands 3-4 miles of walks a day. Sometimes it's exploring, sometimes it's leash-work, sometimes it's taking care of business. Centreville provides some fantastic dog walking routes. I'm "retired" from my career which provides me with this wonderful opportunity to provide a happy experience for your dog and a worry-free one for you! (My goldie is available to join in our walks and for yard play sessions if that's what you and your dog would like.) I own a small fenced-in yard. My walking style adapts to the scenario and the personality of your dog: Are we burning energy? Are we focusing on leash work? Are we frolicking with neighborhood dogs? Or is it a fun cuddle fest? Whichever the scenario, it's with the attention, focus and care you deserve!

“Lisa is the most wonderful dog walker! My dog Charlie is absolutely obsessed with her. He has not seen her in several months and recognized her immediately. He had a hard time coming back in the house after having so much fun with Lisa! :)”

About: I've taken care of pets since I was a teenager. As a family, we've had several different dogs over the years to take care of. My most recent pet had a heart murmur and needed a lot of care and attention and I enjoyed providing it. I have a full time job M-F, but I am usually home on weekdays around 4:30 pm. I am mostly home on weekends hanging out with family. I live in a townhouse and have a fenced small yard, no grass. Typically I would make sure the pet is fed and walked in the morning and if it needs play time I would schedule it for the afternoon after I get home from work.

About: As a friendly cat-sitter for family friends around the area, and cat owner for years, I know the responsibilities of caring for one. These include changing the litter, understanding feeding schedules, playing, etc. I have taken care of cats from all stages of life! Additionally, I have taken care of friends’ dogs while they are out of town by feeding, walking, and playing with them! Your pet will be cared for like my own, and rest assured they will be loved, content, fed, and safe while you are gone! I am available for last-minute holiday visits! I’m currently a full time student and work a part time job as an intern at FCPS. As for availability, please message me, I am very flexible. I can assure you your dogs will stay active, fed, groomed, and cared for in every way! As far as cats I have one at home so I will adjust to the cats’ personality by giving them space if need be. Additionally, I will make sure they are clean, fed, and hydrated!
