“Marina was fantastic with Jasper, and very helpful and willing to walk him at the last minute. We brought Jasper home on a weekend and had not yet set up services with a regular dog, so it was a bit of an emergency and Marina was very understanding and warm with him! From the pictures she sent each day, he looked like he was having a great time with her. Jasper would love to spend time with Marina again, anytime!”


About: I've taken care of dogs for around 7 years as I've walked, played, or house-sat my own dog and my neighbors dogs and had a blast doing it. I am available most late mornings and afternoons, weekends are hard because I have soccer reffing for the whole day each day and it would be hard to squeeze a dog walk in. I can easily settle dogs down, crate dogs, and make them feel relaxed without stress when they sense danger or something is off. I am able to control them no matter the strength they have.

“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.”


“Sammi was awesome taking care of our little dog. Her open communication, punctuality, and attentiveness were greatly appreciated. So glad we made a connection with her.”


“Isabelle walks my goldendoodle furchild every day and she’s such an important part of Maya’s life. To start, she’s super communicative and reliable, which makes it really easy to plan and coordinate walks and dogcare with her. She was also great about learning what behaviors we try to reinforce, Maya’s habits and routines and what Maya eats, which gives me the warm and fuzzies that as a parent, aunt Isabelle is staying consistent with dad’s rules. Isabelle is so great with dogs and has good judgment generally; seeing how she interacts with Maya and hearing her describe how Maya did on a given walk, I trust her implicitly. Lately she’s been really helpful in figuring out fun new walking routes or destinations that cater to Maya’s interests and mood and energy level. Yep Isabelle is a wonderful dog “auntie” and just a delightful human being. I don’t know what her advertised rates are on here, but you should pay them and then some. Isabelle, get after it girl. Charge people what you’re worth! ?”



“Katie has gone above and beyond to help train our puppy on walking and leash skills. She remains incredibly responsive and flexible in our requests. Thankful to have found someone so trustworthy!”


“We have had our pup stay with Colleen and Sean in the past and they were very helpful to us when we needed a walk in a pinch. They provided excellent communication throughout the process, were on-time, and took care of our pup in some poor weather. We appreciated their assistance and we would walk or stay with them again.”


About: I have been caring for friends’ pets for the past on and off for the past few years to make some extra income. I’ve worked with bigger, outside dogs several times, sometimes for weeks at a time, and have a little experience with smaller and inside dogs. I love taking dogs for walks and have experience cleaning up surprises and putting bark collars on particularly squirmy dogs. I also have experience with rabbits and chickens, keeping up with their eating schedules and making sure cages are clean. I work part time and remotely, so my schedule is flexible! I have church and family responsibilities that command my attention during the week, but I still have plenty of time, especially on the weekends! Most of my past experience petsitting has been with overnight stays. I’ve always left the environment better than I found it, and because my work is remote, I will be able to give your pet the care and attention they need and deserve.

“Molly did a great job walking/visiting our goldendoodle this week! She was really responsive, left great messages and photos, and gave our pup the love and attention she needed. We will book her again!”


About: I grew up with all kinds of animals and love especially dogs. I have dogs of my own and they're super friendly and absolutely love other dogs. I've had over 10 years of experience taking care of other animals, as my mother used to have a pet care business which I helped her with. I've never liked a quiet, empty house, so having dogs in the house has definitely been great. My neighborhood is a very dog-friendly neighborhood. There's a lot of families who have dogs around, with a huge dog park close by. Dogs will be walked daily. I also have a fenced in yard so they can spend time outside and just lay in the sun. Your dogs will never be bored, especially with the dogs I own myself. Note: If your dog is shy however, they might not be comfortable with my my dogs as they are very hyper. m currently home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to fully dedicate my time to pet sitting. I’m able to follow your pet’s routine closely, whether that means early morning walks, regular feeding times, or just being around to provide company and attention throughout the day. Pet care is a priority for me, and I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their routine and comfort while ensuring their safety and well-being. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and bedtime routines. I make sure they get lots of love, attention, and exercise, and I always keep the home tidy and secure while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel relaxed and cared for, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

About: I have grown up having dogs my whole life and my family currently has a twelve-year-old golden retriever. I started taking pet sitting jobs with my mom when I was in fifth grade and have been doing pet care jobs by myself the past seven years. I'm a college student currently home over the summer. I am very flexible in the mornings and afternoons but generally need my evenings and nights off. My availability on weekends varies. I want to do my best to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and safe while you are away. I will listen to whatever directions given from playtime, walks, feeding, and providing medicines. I also have experience with a variety of pets and am able to walk and care for pets who may have a few more behavioral issues.

“Tim is an absolute gem and has been a gift to me and my pup. To say he is a dog walker doesn't do him service. He is a beloved companion to my dog. He has taken her for daily walks for several months, and has always been punctual and responsive. He goes above and beyond to make sure he understands your and your dog's needs and provide a tailored experience. My dog loves to sniff and explore new places, and he makes a point to give her time to enjoy the smells and to take new routes. I cannot recommend him highly enough.”


About: Hello! I have been the caretaker of my family’s 15 year old Boston terrier/Jack Russel terrier until moving to Virginia about a month ago. I also used to see my fiancé’s mom’s 3 cats on a near daily basis. Since moving up here, I have been really missing spending time with a furry friend! Looking forward to having more time surrounded by the cutest companions! I currently work remote for an AI Tech start up (yes buzzword city!). I have the luxury of lots of free time throughout the day perfect for a good dog walk or check-in! I often have my weekly schedule in stone about a week in advance. I live in an apartment with a dog walk path and with 0.2 miles of the W&OD trail! Our complex also has a dog washing station and lots of treats. I am happy to spend the day with your pooch at my apartment or potentially take calls from your home if you need a day sitter.

About: I have looked after a variety of cats and dogs for several families. I have experience with nervous and high energy fur-friends, as well as keeping fur-friends active, separated from other animals if needed, fed, and loved. I grew up with a wheat terrier named Jonsie, and would love to help you with your fur-friends needs! I live near the east Falls Church Metro Station. I am happy to do morning afternoon or evening walks as needed, as well as food check ins, oral medicine delivery, and stop bys. Monday-Sunday. Vigilant, responsive, and loving. My approach is pet centric: what does your animal need? For my cats, they need more food, so I have food ready 4 times a day. Keep them out of any left out food. For my family dog, I walk him twice a day, feed him twice a day, and stay nearby to give him comfort in his old age.

About: I have grown up with different breeds of dogs and currently have two cats! I understand the importance of treating each of them how they want to be treated. I am currently studying for the CPA exams and, therefore, how a ton of schedule flexibility. I would love to spend my break time taking care of some adorable pets! I believe everyone’s space deserves to be respected and make it a priority for the pets to receive the love and attention they want and deserve!

“Justin is very responsive and in time. He is very patient and gentle with my brand new puppy. My puppy can be stubborn on walks and Justin makes sure the puppy makes his potty breaks. Highly recommend.”
