“Daniel did an amazing job coming through on short notice for us. He’s reliable + consistent. Looking forward to working w him in the future. Would recommend”
“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!!!”
“Lee was absolutely amazing with our dogs while we were away! I have a lot of anxiety leaving them because of past bad experiences with other sitters, but Lee completely changed that. He treated them with so much love and care, and I could tell they felt safe and happy with him. We came home to relaxed, happy pups—which says everything. We love Lee and wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. There’s a reason he has 5 stars!”
“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.”
“Iryna was absolutely great with my little Dude. Even on a day he wasn’t feeling very well she took very good care of him and I Dude has asked me to book her again! Thanks Iryna!”
About: Back in my college days, I worked in a dog daycare with dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes. Before Rover, I mostly pet sat for my friends and family. In addition, I have 14 of experience caring for my own dogs. I understand the struggles that come with leaving your pet with a stranger so please rest assured that your fur baby will be well taken care of. I will always treat your fur baby with lots of love and kindness and adhere to your instructions to the best of my ability. I currently work a 9-5 at a hospital. I have the flexibility to work from home 3x a week so I’m able to do drop ins and walks on those days. In addition, I am available most weekends and holidays. It is always helpful to have written instructions on how to care for your pet. For example, activities they enjoy most, things they absolutely hate, or undesirable behaviors to look for. Let me know their daily routines so I can do my best to make they feel like they’re with family and not just some stranger.
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“My Pup and I LOVE Lilly, she’s professional, trustworthy kind and truly treats my pup like her own! I work long hours in the city and can always count on Lily whether it’s a scheduled walk or a spontaneous drop in or even a last minute “hey I need to work late can you help me out” ! Thank Lilly for being so great to both Paddy and I!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“What a pleasure Liliana is! She was so patient with both me & my newly adopted pup. She really took the time to understand both of our needs! So happy I found a great dog walker in the area!”
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.

Patricia R.
“I cannot speak highly enough about Tricia and the exceptional care they provided for our many pets- indoor and outdoor. Over the past year, Tricia has consistently gone above and beyond in looking after our indoor dog and cat, our community cats and two indoor/outdoor cats, ensuring they were not only well-fed and exercised, but also genuinely loved and emotionally supported while we were away. Their responsibilities included feeding and changing litter, daily walks, administering medications, grooming, and maintaining detailed updates on our pets' health and behavior. Tricia has a remarkable attention to detail, reliability, and deep understanding of animal behavior. They demonstrated strong communication skills by keeping us informed through messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind. Most importantly, our pets absolutely adore Tricia—their calm demeanor and intuitive care created a trusting bond that was evident from the start- even our finnicky indoor cat who likes no one. Tricia is a true professional and a compassionate animal lover. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a responsible, skilled, and caring pet caregiver.”
