Dog Walking Columbia Forest

About: Hi! I’m a recent Physician Assistant graduate from EVMS with over 10 years of experience working as a veterinary assistant. Throughout my time in veterinary medicine, I cared for dogs and cats in clinical and boarding settings, including feeding, walking, administering medications (oral and injectable), and assisting with special needs and senior pets. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments, including those that may be anxious or require extra care. My medical background also allows me to recognize early signs of illness or distress, providing added peace of mind while you’re away. I have experience with basic grooming such as bathing and nail trims, as well as safely handling pets when needed. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust and communication are. I provide reliable, attentive care and will keep you updated with messages and photos during each visit. I offer flexible scheduling, including evenings, weekends, and last-minute bookings I’m currently preparing to start my career as a PA, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m currently preparing to start my career as a Physician Assistant, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as weekends and last-minute bookings. I build my daily routine around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and timely care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and behavior. With over 10 years of veterinary assistant experience, I’m confident handling pets of all sizes and temperaments, including those that may be anxious or require extra care. I’m attentive to any changes in behavior or health and will communicate promptly with you if anything seems off. I treat every home with respect and ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment.

About: Not just another dog lover! I’ve had at least one dog, plus, at all times. Most from a puppy until departure. Experience with rescued dogs in making them feel comfortable/relaxed. We had a rescue from Hurricane Katrina. I’m very patient, caring, & don’t mind petting or playing all day. I’m hoping to give them the love and care when you can’t be ther. I work from home several days during the week and can properly share my time for walks, feeding, and playing. I have a Cocker Spaniel who gets along with other dogs well. I’m home in the evenings and weekends. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex with plenty of grassy areas and usually take my dog on a walk in the neighborhood. I don’t have any furniture or bed restrictions. I am happy to sit at your home, if preferred.

About: Hi! I’m Veronica. I split my time between Los Angeles and the Washington, DC area, and whenever I’m in town, I love spending time with animals. I’m a proud pet mom of both dogs and a cat, so I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, cozy routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🦴 ABOUT ME I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from playful puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I am comfortable with: • Walks and exercise • Feeding schedules • Basic medications • Puppies and senior pets • Multi-pet households • Plenty of playtime, affection, and companionship I run my own business, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. 🏡 STAYS & VISITS I work primarily from home and am rarely away for more than a few hours at a time. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, potty breaks, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. For boarding stays, I strive to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease in a new environment. 📸 UPDATES I know how much peace of mind matters when you’re away from your pet. That’s why I provide regular updates, photos, and messages throughout each stay or visit. You’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I love sharing their adventures, naps, playtime, and cute moments with you. ❤️ WHY I PET SIT As someone who travels frequently between DC and LA, I miss my own pets when I’m away from them. Pet sitting gives me the opportunity to spend time with wonderful animals while helping fellow pet owners feel confident that their pets are in good hands. 🐾 MY PROMISE My goal is simple: to care for your pets the same way I care for my own. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! ❤️ I run my own business, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to provide reliable pet care. When I have clients for my business, I’m normally not gone for more than four hours a day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week and can often accommodate last-minute requests. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding, medication, exercise, and routine instructions while providing plenty of attention, affection, and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Gabriela did a great job walking my two pups. The pups seemed really happy and excited on the walks from the photos provided. She communicated everything well and gave good updates.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life and truly have never met an animal I didn’t love! From energetic puppies to sweet senior pets, I’m happy to care for dogs and cats of any age. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routines, and I love getting to know each one. With a very flexible schedule, I can provide dependable, loving care, plenty of attention, and lots of snuggles while you’re away. I work in a fully remote role with a highly flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Whether your pets need midday walks, extra companionship, or a consistent presence at home, I can typically work around your schedule and provide attentive, reliable care. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I don’t host pets in my own home because my dog prefers not to have furry houseguests. I’m more than happy to come to your home instead, allowing your pets to stay in their familiar environment and routines while receiving loving, attentive care.

About: I've been taking care of pets in my neighborhood and with friends/family since I was 10, and I've really built up a passion and know-how for animal care. Here's what I'm good at: * I've got experience with all sorts of dogs, from bouncy puppies to chill older dogs, so I can figure out what each one needs. * Cats of every age, from playful kittens to senior felines – I get their needs. * I'm also really good at caring for senior dogs and cats, making sure they're comfy and happy with special routines. As I am currently unemployed, I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate most day and night requests, whether it's a midday walk or vacation check-ins. I prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet in my care. I am meticulous about following all pre-established rules of the home and pet, ensuring a comfortable and secure environment for them. I am also flexible and adaptable, willing to adjust to the specific needs and preferences of each animal and their owners.

“Thea has been amazing with my dog, Elmo. He’s a bit hyper and she has been fantastic walking him, she’s consistent, and she is very communicative. Would recommend to anyone looking for a dog walker!”

Claire H.

“Emily was amazing! She took the time to meet my dogs beforehand, which made me feel so much more comfortable. During her visit, she followed all instructions perfectly, made sure they went outside, and gave them their snacks before leaving. She also sent updates and pictures, which I really appreciated! My dogs clearly liked her, which means everything to me (they’re my babies!). I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again!!”

Paula C.

About: I have a had a dog for 17 years as my family dog. I helped walk her, feed her, play with her, and in general care for her. I lived with a dog for 6 months when my previous roommate had a dog. I helped feed her, take her for walks, and was able to put her in her crate when needed. I am a teacher so I am unavailable during the day on weekdays. I am available in the evenings during the week and throughout the day on weekends. I am unavailable to care for your pets in my home. In your home I can comfortably put your dog in a crate, if needed

“Thank you for walking Harley!!”
