“Aly has been a huge help to our family! Our sweet boy can be a little introverted at times, and Aly has really helped him feel comfortable, loved, and safe in his new neighborhood. She’s extremely communicative and responsible. We’re so grateful to have found her!”

3. Patricia S.
“Patricia was very communicative and responsive when we hired her to walk our pup. She even agreed to a meet and greet given he can be hesitant at times. She took her time with him and kept us informed during her visit. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life! My dog, Winston, I have had since he was 8 weeks old so I have experience with puppies and older dogs. When friends and family need someone to watch their pets I am their go to :) I work from home every day besides Wednesday so my schedule is very flexible. I take my dog out at least twice while I am working but can do more dependent on what your pet needs! I treat every pet I take care of as my own. Whenever I have someone watch my Winston I always want to see photos and videos of him and I do the same for all pets I watch! My apartment has a dog park and I love to take the dogs I watch their if that is okay with their owner :)
9. Anuhya K.
“Anuhya did great with Autumn, she is a very timid dog so I was terrified of letting a new person walk her. But Anuhya listened to my instructions well and took good care of Autumn. Thank you for doing this, even if it was a bit last minute, I appreciate it”
10. Elise A.
“Elise watched my puppy Stella (who is the most high maintenance human-like dog in the world). Elise asked me questions ahead of time to really understand Stella's specific needs, which I really appreciated. She clearly cared a lot about the wellbeing and safety of my dog before I even dropped her off! Elise has her own golden, Lilah who is an absolute sweetheart and during Stella's stay, Elise sent me plenty of photos of Stella and Lilah playing and walking and snuggling together, I swear Lilah can get along with any dog she is THAT sweet:) 10/10 recommend Elise, and will absolutely be using her again and again!”
11. Taylor S.
About: I've had dogs my entire life and have watched pets owned by friends, family, and neighbors since I was a kid. I have had cats since college, but I love animals of all kinds. I'm a recent graduate currently looking for a job, so at the moment my schedule is pretty flexible. Any chance to hang out with a furry friend is a good thing to me! I can work with whatever guidance you provide in regards to your pet's care at home! It's all up to you and your pet. I will also make sure your pet is comfortable and we'll cared for.
12. Ava L.
“Ava is kind, courteous, and professional. I trust her to be on time and respectful of me and my dog, Boots. I'm not the only one who likes her, though. Boots likes her too. In fact, as a stubborn and old dog, it appears he likes her more than he likes me!”
13. Jennifer L.
About: My husband and I moved from NYC to Arlington with our lab / rottweiler mix and we have a home with a backyard. We rescued our dog from NY Animal Care and Control when he was just 9 weeks old. He’s nearly 9 years old, is very well socialized and loves to play with other dogs. I like to maintain your dog’s schedule while in my care. I feed dogs separately to avoid any conflict. There is always water available and I can follow feeding instructions. My husband and I both work from home FT so your pup will never be lonely! Having a dog ourselves, we’re used to taking him out before work, mid-day, after work and before bed. I also have a fenced in backyard and a deck for fresh air. I like to do meet and greets first to make sure that you are comfortable and our dogs get along. We have multiple dog beds too. Dog play is always monitored, we will never leave them alone!

I work from home a couple days a week, with the option to also be fully remote. my schedule is flexible for walks and drop-in visits and i’m able to stay home for doggie day care. i have a dog myself (11 y/o doberman) so my routine already revolves around caring for a dog! I have an 11 year old Doberman to keep your dog company. She is very sweet and well-mannered towards other dogs. I have several walking paths to take your dog on and understand safety on walks.
15. Anne W.
“Anne has been amazing! Patient and flexible with my anxious, nervous, sensitive, and opinionated dog, Pumpkin. She's been key in helping to desensitize him to our surrounding area while we work through environmental anxiety issues. Anne has also been incredibly communicative, and we're so lucky to have found her 💖”

“Thanks!”
20. Mark H.
“I have know Mark for the past 14 years during our military service as military police and beyond. Mark was a military police officer in the army and prior to one of his deployments he received basic dog handler training. He later adopted a working dog name Kristza after retiring from the military. Mark and Kristza are “hand and paw” since he adopted her and he has a love for canines and would care for any pup as if they were his working dog. I would highly recommend Mark to care for your pups needs anytime you are in need. Veterans always work hard and are trusted and Mark is not exception, he is the rule.”
