Dog Walking Fairfax Station

“Alexis did a fantastic job with Forest! She was on time and patient with him who can be a bit of a handful. We hired Alexis to play with Forest for 30 min and she brought him back nice and exhausted with a big smile on his face.”

About: I’ve had pets just about all of my life, and I would say(with other people’s testimonies), that I am almost like a whisperer to them. Cats or dogs or anything that don’t like other people almost always like me, given some time of course. I’m understanding of every pets needs being different either drastically or minutely! Anything needed I can accommodate to! I have classes Monday through Thursday from 8AM-1PM for college in Middletown, but I typically have free time sometimes before class as well if needed in the morning, then return home at around 1:30-2PM. I work a part time job on only some days of the week, typically in the evenings. Safe to say, it won’t be very difficult to fit pet care in. I’m not someone that likes to keep pets locked up in a cage or kennel, I prefer to have them out with me, getting to know them! I love them too much to not be around them all the time. I keep a close eye on them and ensure they don’t get into anything they’re not supposed to. Furthermore, I keep all doors closed all the way, including doors with a screen door just to be safe, unless the pet likes to look outside and is well behaved with control to stay inside. I don’t lack effort in the areas of safety and carefulness.

About: I specialize in providing dedicated care for anxious cats and dogs, elderly pets, and animals who simply need extra patience and attention. I know firsthand that a change in routine can be stressful, and I pride myself on being a calm, reliable presence who lets your pet set the pace. My hands-on experience comes from a bustling multi-pet home and years of specialized care: - Feline Medical & Dietary Management: I live in a three-cat household where I actively manage complex routines. I am fully comfortable administering daily oral medication (pills) and tracking specific dietary supplements. - Senior Care Expertise: I frequently look after my own 14-year-old childhood cat, so I intimately understand the patience, slow pacing, and comfort accommodations that senior pets require. - High-Anxiety & Reactive Dog Handling: I have experience providing long-term care for a family member’s anxious and reactive Belgian Malinois / Pit Bull mix. I know how to manage large, powerful breeds, navigate reactivity triggers, build trust, and maintain environmental control to keep an anxious dog feeling secure. Whether your pet needs precise medical scheduling, a slow walk for aging joints, or a sitter who understands boundaries and space, I treat every animal with the same respect and vigilance I give my own. I have a very flexible schedule as a full time graduate student and part time court mediator in training. As a pet parent myself, I am happy to support your own scheduling needs as well as the needs of your fur babies. When entering and exiting your home, I am vigilant about preventing door-darting, ensuring all interior doors are managed safely before exterior doors are opened. For dogs, I use secure, double-checked leashes and harnesses, keeping them close on walks and completely avoiding dog parks or unpredictable interactions with unknown animals. Inside the home, I do a proactive sweep for environmental hazards, ensure water bowls are fresh, and verify all windows and doors are locked. Because I manage complex pet routines at home, I am highly observant. I actively monitor your pet's food intake, bathroom habits, and energy levels for any subtle signs of anxiety or discomfort. You will receive detailed text updates and photo check-ins during every booking so you always know your pets are safe, happy, and thriving.

About: I’ve taken care of many pets in the past. I also have a long time favorite customer that i continually go back to for visits. I go to Nova Community College full time and work part time as an RBT (registered behavior technician) with autistic children. I own 3 dogs of my own at the current moment, so taking care of them is part of my daily routine. Anything I can do. I have a fenced in backyard at my home and i let my dogs walk freely. I’m open to any accommodations needed for dogs +cats.

“Our dog normally is apprehensive around new people, and it usually takes him a while to warm up and feel comfortable. This just wasn't the case with Gabi, he took to her immediately! Gabi seems to have a genuine understanding and affection for animals, which seems to have made all of the difference for our dog. Words can't do justice to how grateful we are to have someone we trust help care for our boy!”

About: Neighbors, friends and family rely on us to pet sit. I pet sit all types of animals. I provide this care in our home, as well as check in on animals in their home. I work from home so I will be available to play with your pet and walk your dog at any time. During the summer, my children will also be home and love to snuggle and play. We have a fenced in backyard and fenced in front yard area. We do have one cat that is an indoor outdoor cat. We also have two young kids that love to play with dogs.

About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood. Growing up my family had a Dachshund — my first lesson in just how much personality a small dog can pack — and later a German Shepherd, who taught me that larger dogs need confidence, consistency, and genuine respect. I also spent years walking a neighbor's Irish Setter, which gave me an early appreciation for athletic, high-energy breeds that need real exercise and engagement, not just a quick lap around the block. Most recently I had a rescue dog I adopted when he was older and already managing some minor health issues. He later developed a heart condition that required daily medication — which I administered myself throughout his illness. Caring for him through that journey gave me hands-on experience with senior dog care, medical management, and the kind of patience and attentiveness that serious health conditions demand. I have cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs for neighbors and friends — from drop-in visits to boarding them in my own home. My regulars have included a Westie who, despite the breed's famously stubborn reputation, spends most of his time demanding belly rubs and reminding me that Westies are really just cuddly dogs in a tough-dog costume. I have also cared for a Pit/Boxer mix who turned out to be one of the most docile, cuddly dogs I have ever had the pleasure of caring for — a reminder that reputation and reality are often two very different things. I judge dogs on who they are, not what breed they are. I also manage a regular medication routine for the Westie in my care. If your dog has a medication schedule, it will not be skipped, forgotten, or treated as an inconvenience. I am fully dedicated to pet care right now — home throughout the day, taking a limited number of dogs at a time so every guest gets real attention. Whether your dog needs a calm quiet environment, daily medication, or just someone who will truly enjoy their company all day — I am that person. I am home all day every day and fully available for pet care morning through evening. No day job, no busy schedule pulling me away. I follow each dog's individual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication. Pet care is my full-time focus and I treat it that way. My home is calm, comfortable, and set up with your dog's happiness in mind. Every dog in my care gets out daily — just nearby is a beautiful park with a lake that makes for a perfect morning walk, along with plenty of neighborhood routes for dogs who love to explore and sniff every corner. Inside, dogs have comfortable resting areas and a relaxed, welcoming environment to settle right into. Your dog will never be cooped up or bored.

“Clayton was very communicative and helpful. We have a senior dog which requires a little bit of extra accommodation and he was very considerate”

About: I have been taking care of pets for almost 6 years professionally and I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I worked in a boarding facility making sure every dog and cat received the proper food and medication. I can check in on pets any day of the week at anytime needed. For pets that have hourly or specific times needed for care, I can be there to help them out! I always want to put pet comfort first. I respect the pet's space and I can recognize body language to know when to back off and keep them comfortable.

“Taking good care of my dog! Your communication was excellent, and my doggie seemed very happy!”

About: I have walked, stayed overnight with, given medicine to, and played with animals of all shapes and sizes. I am studying to become a vet so I am an all around animal person! I work from coffee shops a lot so I have a flexible enough schedule to regularly let pets out, feed them, or perform other caretaking tasks throughout the day. I am very adaptable and enjoy taking care of pets in their homes. I like to maintain their regular schedules and be present with them as much as possible during my stay.

About: I've taken care of pets all of my life, being born into a dog and cats household. My passion for pets has led me to working in places that are centered around animals, and my professional experience has given me a great foundation in pet health, nutrition, training and behavior. Animals are my calling in life, and hanging out with them for a living is not a job for me but a dream! P.S. Prices negotiable, open to discuss and find solutions! I am a college student with an wide availability schedule. While I have a party time job and some classes, I am always open to working together and figuring out a schedule that works. I do prefer evenings/weekends, but I am flexible most of the time. I will follow all pet parent instructions clearly and explicitly, no matter how much effort it might take. I care about animals deeply and will sacrifice my own time to deliver proper care. With my wide expertise in pet care, I am also open to working with special needs pets. Happy to answer any questions and concerns you may have.

About: I’m a freshman in college and have been loving spending time with pets! I have taken care of dogs and cats for over six years now, and honestly, I just love it. I am a great communicator and will make sure you know how your pets are doing while you’re away. I always aim to make sure you feel at peace being away from your fur babies knowing that I will love on them just as much while they are gone. I have experience with both cats and dogs, and various ages so i happy to administer any medication if needed. I love taking dogs for walks, or just sitting at home and playing with or petting them. I also love cats, and while I don’t currently have one of mine own, I so enjoy getting cat and dog sit! I enjoy getting exercise, so dog walking is always fun for me. Pets just make me happy, so getting to pet sit is always enjoyable and brightens my day. I want my employers to know that their pets will be safe and happy while they are away as I take care of them. And if there are any needs while they are gone, they will be able to reach me. with any special requests, like taking medication or anything like that, I am very good at following specific instruction. I am always available. If you need to reach me, you can always call or text me. I am able to just spend time with your pet if that is what you need, or take them on lots of walks! Whatever is needed I am pretty much able to provide.

“Megan is an amazing dog walker for my dog Bowie! She is easy to get in touch with and has been super flexible with scheduling. I know Bowie looks forward to his weekly afternoon walks!!”
