Dog Walking Colonial Village

About: I have a cat back home who is 8 years old, so I understand daily care, patience, and responsibility. I also volunteered at a cat café and an animal shelter for three years, where I helped with feeding, cleaning, socializing cats, and basic care. I’m calm, attentive, and always focused on pets’ comfort and safety.^^ I’m currently a graduate student so I can give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs, especially for feeding times and check-ins. I always prioritize pets’ safety and comfort. I carefully follow owners’ instructions for feeding, routines, and medication if needed. I keep the environment clean, calm, and secure, and I closely monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health. I treat every pet with patience, care, and respect, as if they were my own.

About: I have loved dogs since I could remember. I’ve had pups of my own and currently have a small Yorkie who I adore, but grew up with a German shepherd who was the best. I’m a nurse and am looking to maximize my puppy time on my time off! I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I’m more than happy to administer medication if needed. Whatever you need, I’m here for you! I’m happy to do drop ins, walks, feeding, whatever you need! I only work 3 days per week and have a lot of flexibility for morning and mid day walks. I live in a pet friendly building with a dog run. I’m happy to crate your pups if that is how they feel safest. I have one 7 year old Yorkie.

“Hannah was great getting Logan moving in the middle of the day while I was at work. She's super responsive and was a huge help to me in my first week back in the office.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, cleaning up after pets, providing companionship, and monitoring their well-being. As a pet owner of two cats and one dog, I have daily experience understanding different pet personalities and their needs. I'm a student and during the summer I worked as a lifeguard I usually have a lot of time available so just let me know when you need it Only me and my mother live in my house, I live in Rosslyn so I usually have green areas near me and I have a lot of ease when transporting

“Sam came by to meet & greet our pup Zoey ahead of scheduling weekly walks. She is clearly well tuned to Zoey’s needs & takes good care of pups writ large!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for my friends and family for over 12 years and it’s one of my favorite hobbies. As a graduate student, I love looking after my friend’s animals and taking them for long walks around the city and parks (I even took my neighbor’s pet rat on a walk once!). I have lengthy experience with safe leashed walking on both city and nature routes (I trained my own puppy to be peaceful on the leash many years ago) as well as caring for multi-pet households. Whenever I walk animals or petsit, I love to send photos and updates about our time together so you can know how they are doing while you are away. Outside of providing the perfect ear scratch, I genuinely enjoy spending time with cats and dogs and hope to be able to meet your animal as well! Thank you for checking out my profile :) I work in clinic during week days from 7am-3pm and am available for walks and check ins during early mornings and evenings, as well as anytime during the weekend! When I watch other people’s pets, I treat them as if they were my own and provide them the same attention, love, and enrichment that I would provide if I were watching my own fur babies. When ever I go to someone else’s home to check in on their animals, I am cognizant of “leaving no trace behind” and approaching pets with calmness and friendliness so that they can continue to feel comfortable in their home. For walking services, I always carry poop bags and pay attention to the dog’s cues to see make sure they are having a nice time and not feeling overstimulated or stressed by their environment.

“Eric has been great! He is very patient with our puppy who is scared of everything. He is also incredibly communicative about any scheduling issues or concerns.”

“Jessie did a great job checking up on Nero. We just returned to the office and he’s getting used to a new schedule and a new climate. She remembered his quirks and was very attuned to his needs and moods. I felt really confident he was in good hands! I would absolutely hire Jessie again in the future :)”

“An absolute dog whisperer! Julia has been amazing with our dog Banx who was from a rescue and very anxious with strangers. He warmed up to her immediately and is so excited to see her every morning! We are thrilled to be working with her!”

About: I've owned a dog since Summer 2022 and have previously dog sat for friends and family. I love animals and will do whatever is necessary to provide them the care they need. I currently work full-time remote and have the flexibility to get check on your pets throughout the day. I don't travel too much so I am consistently in town and available. I am calm and approachable and don't mind dealing with high energy pets. Both of my dogs have been very high energy and needed lots of attention so I am used to being very engaged

“Bryan has a nice way with our dogs. He is very responsible and on time. The pups are excited to see him. We will continue to call on him in the future.”

About: I’m a caring and responsible pet owner with over 2 years of hands-on experience taking care of my own cats every day. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routines, providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes, giving plenty of playtime, and paying close attention to their behavior and health. I have also helped friends care for their pets while they were away. I know that every pet has a different personality, so I’m patient with shy or anxious animals and happy to give energetic pets the attention and exercise they need. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available every day of the week, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I can provide pet care at any time of the day and accommodate different schedules, whether you need morning, afternoon, evening, or overnight care. I’ll do my best to work around your pet’s routine and your schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise routines, and any special requirements. I take time to build trust with every pet and always provide photo and message updates so you know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.

About: This is my full time job so I am able to dedicate my full attention to your pet. I have lifelong experience with dogs and cats. I love pets and understand their needs. This is my full time job so I am able to take care of your pet with all my love and attention, and I love to do it. I love going for long walks and being outside, especially when it involves a dog. I live in an apartment so I do not have a yard, but I alywas find a nice park to walk or run around in!

About: I’m a proud dog dad to Rambo, my Golden Retriever, so caring for dogs is already a big part of my everyday life. Raising him has given me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic training, leash manners, and all the attention and care that comes with being a dog owner. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and behaviors, including dogs that can be reactive in certain situations. This has taught me to be patient, pay close attention to body language, stay aware of my surroundings on walks, and adapt my approach to each dog’s individual needs. I understand that every dog is different. Some love long walks and constant playtime, while others prefer their space and a calmer environment. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, preferences, and any specific instructions you provide. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. I’ll treat your dog the same way I’d want someone to treat Rambo—with patience, attention, care, and plenty of love. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine with Rambo, my Golden Retriever. My days already include walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of time dedicated to him, so caring for another pet fits naturally into my schedule. I’m also flexible and can plan around your pet’s routine and needs. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and the owner’s instructions, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, or just keeping them company. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. In my home, pets get plenty of attention, walks, and playtime, and I always make sure they’re introduced safely and comfortably to Rambo.

“Amanda is incredibly responsible, thoughtful, and such a dog person. Rosie was in love with her at first sight. Lucky to have her as part of my "dog team."”
