“My pup loved her walks with Max. He was prompt and we could count on him and have rebooked for our next trip.”

Kathy K.

“Elly has been the best! She does recurring weekly walks for my pup, Winston. Always on time, leaves updates and lots of pictures. My pup is not the most active/doesn’t always want to walk but she always makes sure he gets out to pee even when he is being stubborn. Going back into the office has been a breeze due to Elly - thank you!!!”

Alexandra W.

“Daniel has been great with taking our dog for her daily walks. He gives her the chance to take her time and explore and then does some enrichment activities with her when they get back. He is always on time and very communicative.”

Rachel G.

“Our Ollie absolutely loves Daniel! From the moment he walked in for the meet and greet they hit it off great! Daniel is very punctual, dependable and communicative. I absolutely trust him with my leash temperamental dog and looking forward to more lunch time adventures for them.”

“Iryna walked my two dogs for a week when I needed help in a pinch. My 10-year-old dog is very shy, and Iryna was patient with her and won her over—no small feat! She was also so kind to my new puppy, walking him and also playing with him in the house (it was very hot outside). Overall, Iryna went above and beyond for me and my dogs, and I appreciate her very much. Definitely recommend and will call her again!”

Sylvia H.

“Best of the best!”

“Lee has been amazing with all three of my pets for the past few months! She always makes time to give everyone treats and cuddles/plays with them (including my cats) when she comes to walk my dog. She’s great at communicating her schedule and is really responsive to anything the pets might need. I can tell they love her and I trust that she takes good care of them”

About: I grew up with a house full of pets. This has given me a strong love for animals of all kinds. I have also cared for a wide variety of animals (including dogs, cats, iguanas, birds, etc) and am comfortable caring for large dog breeds as well (I have grown up around Rottweilers, German Shepherds and Pitbulls). I also feel comfortable watching and caring for young animals and those who may need additional attention, such as administering topical or oral medicine or even hand-feeding them. After being laid off, I am looking for ways to supplement my income while also doing things I am passionate about - like caring for animals! Because of this, I currently have a flexible schedule. At home, I have 2 kittens of my own who I love spoiling! They are extremely playful and cuddly, and have even gone on vacation with us in the past. As a pet sitter, I am very attentive, responsible, and caring. I am happy to give lots of pets when they are wanted, but I also understand that all animals are different and am confident caring for animals with special needs or accommodations.

“Dominique was amazing. I was in a little bit of a bind and he came through for me. Trusting that what I told him regarding my pups was the truth (that they are super friendly) and walked them without having met them. Followed all the instructions with out issue. I AM so glad to have found him here.”

“Great walker with Knight, will definitely work with Skylar. Her walks with Knight are wonderful.”

“Keira is great - took time to learn all of my dog’s commands and preferences, quickly responds to messages, responsible, and clearly adores animals.”

Leigh M.

“Elisa is the best! She’s super communicative, great with dogs, and a reliable walker through and through! Feel very lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a walker or boarding!”

Shoshanna I.

“Mallory is wonderful - quick communication, attentive to details, ensuring that my dog got what she needed. Mallory did a thorough meet and greet, including making sure that she earned all of my reactive dog’s cues and triggers.”

Leigh M.

“Lillian continues to be not only dependable and caring but when my poor old dog was in her last days and my other dog was gross sick she went above and beyond to care for them. I am so appreciative.”

Molly V.

“Lauren did a great job caring for River today. She not only ensured she was comfortable by removing her harness after the walk but she also refilled River’s water and provided a treat. Bravo!”

Tony K.

“Liza Jean was amazing with our dogs! She walked them twice and was super communicative—always letting me know when she was on her way and how the visit went. She sent great photos and even included little updates like if they drank water or went potty, which I really appreciated. Both of our dogs loved her and were so excited to see her. She was especially great with our more nervous, high-energy dog, which made me feel confident they were in good hands. She even went above and beyond to get them water when they needed it. Super professional, kind, and clearly great with animals. I’d definitely book with Liza Jean again!”

About: I’m reliable, patient, loving, and a dog mom of two (13 & 5). I’d take care of your pup, like they’re mine! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, as well as with basic dog training, reinforcing commands, and going on long and short walks. Sadly, I am a former government employee, who was laid off from my dream job. I have a lot of flexibility and availability and am looking forward to connecting! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins to ensure each pet gets the attention and care they need — including my own! Whether it’s sticking to a regular walking schedule or drop-ins, I’m organized and reliable so pets feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pups in a client’s home, I treat their space with respect and make sure the dog feels safe and comfortable. I stick closely to their normal routine, feeding times, walks, playtime, and any training or medication they need. I pay close attention to their behavior and body language, so I can respond to their needs and keep them happy. I also keep the owners updated with messages and photos, so they feel at ease while they're away.

About: Since I have had a dog in my house since the age of two, I am a huge dog person. I am the type of person that will constantly point out cute dogs and show dogs loving because I just love them all so much. As for experience, over the years, I have watched plenty of different dogs from staying in clients houses to just walking them. It is rewarding for me because I am not allowed to have dogs in my apartment and I live 20 hours away from my dads dog so it allows me to still spend time with an animal that I love! I currently work in the service industry as a bar manager so I have an usual schedule which allows me to be a little bit flexible when it comes to caring for your pets! Biggest thing is attention! With owners being away, pets often feel anxiety so simply just hanging out with the pet and caring for their needs helps cure that anxiety they might feel. As well as make sure that they are feeling the love, while being cared for, feed, getting water and exercise.

About: I'm a single woman living in the Arlington area, eager to meet, play with, and care for your beloved pet. I have years of experience of caring for pets--both mine and others'. Most of my experience is pet-sitting in their home, but I am excited to branch out to walks, play dates, and caring for your pet in my own home. I have owned and cared for pups ranging from the small (shih tzu) and highly active (terrier mix) to larger breeds, like German shepherds and labradors. I recently lost both of my senior pets after many happy years, so I am eager to spend time with your babies and give them lots of love. I recently returned to the US after a couple of years abroad and am consulting from home. This means I have a ton of flexibility and can spend as much time as needed walking and playing with your pets. I would love to give high quality, attentive care to your precious pets, in your home or mine! I recently moved back to the United States and am currently consulting from home. That means I have a very flexible schedule and am available to provide care for your animals on their schedule. I can take them on walks during the day and am available to stay at your house while you're on vacation if you prefer for your pets to be cared for in their own home. I live in a condo but have a lovely garden area for walks and am in a residential area. I am happy to care for your pets in my house or in yours, wherever they will be the most comfortable.
