Dog Walking in Columbia Forest, Arlington, VA

“Very appreciative of Anne. She was able to jump in and help us with our dog at the last minute, all while still being thorough, thoughtful, and responsive.”

“Thank you for giving me peace of mind on my business trip. It was just what I needed to allow myself to focus on the task at hand. Thanks Anne!”

“Matt was so great with our young, very energetic puppy! He was in constant contact and kept us updated with how our dog was doing. Very trustworthy - we will be returning clients!”

“I just met Kala, was impressed that she quickly picked up the commands and hand signals I use with Dominic. Appreciate that she did a meet and greet earlier this morning and then a walk just now. Dominic came back happy. She took good notes. She is efficient. Thank you!”

“I wholeheartedly recommend Saya, who studied veterinarian and pet training. With a background in both domestic and wild animal care, she stands out with her knowledge and caring approach with animals. I personally experienced her expertise when she addressed my fur baby's behavioral issues, notably excessive barking and excitability. With patience and effective techniques, she transformed my Yorkie behavior for the better. Having Saya work with any pet ensures not just physical health, but also behavioral wellness. I am confident in recommending her for any pet care role.”

“Collin was a wonderful walker—very communicative and patient with my dog who can jump and pull. I highly recommend him and we look forward to seeing him in the future.”

“Brooke is super responsible and kind. She loves animals and I would trust her to take care of mine anytime. She truly cares for them as if they were her own.”

“Thank you so much!”

About: Flexible worker in the DMV with extra time, care and love to give to the wonderful dogs (and cats!) in the area. Pets of all sizes are welcome. I grew up with 6-plus dogs, had a cat in college and am the go-to walker / sitter for all my friends in the area. Looking to find a handful of pet owners to settle into a routine with, plus help anyone with any immediate / emergency requests. I LOVE dogs and cats but don't have the apartment or time to own one - this seems like a great compromise. Looking forward to getting to know you and your pets! Freelance worker with a flexible schedule so often can coordinate what works best for you. I don't have a car so if I need to travel farther I'll need a bit of time for transit. I believe in meeting pets where they are in their development, whether that's early on during training or well into their prime (and habits). At the end of the day I think pets want love and consistency, and I'm happy to provide whatever makes them most comfortable since they'll be missing their parents, most likely :).

“Natalie is amazing! She treats my pup like her own and does a great job with him and communicating with me! I trust Natalie and she Theo loves his new BFF!”

“Kit has taken care of my dog many times. She is loving and caring always. In addition, she is very responsible and honors time commitments. Kit has a knack for knowing what needs to be done and I suspect that is because she LOVES dogs! I highly recommend Kit!”

“Jennifer is reliable, communicates well, and is kind to people and pets alike. She's great with cats and dogs. I would highly recommend her services!”

“Experienced cat lover and enthusiast with a very attentive and affectionate approach to pet care, reliable and communicable, and with a genuine love for animals”

About: I have taken care of my family and friends pets, I know how to take care of them properly, as if they were my own. I know how important they are to their owners, especially cause I’ve had a dog and currently a cat, and I love her with all my heart. Available in whatever schedule is best for you and your pet, so don’t hesitate to book! We could definitely arrange something that would fit perfectly I’ve taken care of dogs in apartments, taking them to walk so they can do their necessities every couple hours, playing and staying with them, being attentive of their food and toys. As for cats, I pet them and play with them whenever they want, being attentive of their litter box and their food.

“Niza was such a help with my very active puppy! He responded to her right away and she knew how to manage all his energy. She took the time to understand his needs and routine so that he would be comfortable when I wasn’t home. She also gave me plenty of feedback on her visits so that I was comfortable too. Thank you Niza!”

“Raven did an amazing job taking my pup on a couple of walks and feeding her. She sent me photos both times and I could tell my girl was happy! I appreciate Raven being flexible with her schedule. She is professional, timely, and easy to work with. I highly recommend her and plan on using her services in the future! Thank you so much Raven ?”

“Lauren has been a responsible and caring walker for my pup. She is communicative, on-time, and my dogs new bestie. It was a pleasure working with her”

About: I've been a dog and cat lover all my life, since before I was born. I can't imagine my life without one or two cats or dogs in it at a time! I'm looking to earn some extra cash here and there and took note of a dog walker I saw walking around the neighborhood one day, and thought, why not do not something I absolutely love with these beautiful creatures, and so I am checking this out. I'm patient and gentle and will make sure your pet has my attention and affection, while also staying as disciplined as you'd like me to be. Give me an opportunity - you won't regret it and I have a feeling it will be the start of something great! I currently split my time between being self-employed as a housecleaner and as a Server, Bartender or Cook for various restaurant gigs I pick up to fill the time. I have flexibility so I may be a great match for you and your pet! First off, I make sure that I follow the same routine you have established with your pet. This helps prevent confusion and anxiety and helps me to get to know them. By having that kind of relationship with them, I can more ably watch for possible safety concerns and avoid them as much as possible. Leashes are a must unless in a fully fenced location that my client has designated as an area their dog is allowed to roam free. When pet-sitting in your home, your pet is my only priority and my attention is focused on them, making sure their needs are completely met and time I spent bonding with them.

“Kayleigh is an excellent cat care taker -- she always takes pictures of my boys to show me and they look so happy! One of my cats takes medication and she gives it to him every night, no problem. She also has experience taking care of cats that don't get along, which is a life saver!”

“Mike and his family are amazing! I booked on Rover at the last minute after other plans fell through, and I couldn't have found a better family to take care of my puppy. Mike's entire family came to meet Scout before walking him, and everyone was kind and excited to play with my energetic little puppy. I knew Scout was in safe hands with Mike and Edina, and it was nice to hear about Scout's day from the note that was left for me. I also came home to all of Scout's toys back in his toy bin-- something that rarely happens when I'm home :) . I felt like Mike and Edina went above and beyond to ensure a great experience for both Scout and me. I highly, highly recommended Mike! Thank you! ”
