Dog Walking in Fort Hunt

“Ian, was a Godsend. I was desperate to get my dogs walked and he came to my rescue! He walked both dogs and we chatted afterward. He's knowledgeable about dogs, and a kind, gentle soul. We talked about his vast experience with all different breeds and my goals for the dogs and how I'd like my walkers to use walk time to get Zira and Bacon to be consistently excellent. He had lots of great input and I believe he will be someone I can rely on. I will definitely use him again and highly recommend him to all.”

“It's been great working with Lori for dog walking services. She is very knowledgeable and professional, as well as patience with our impulsive Labrador. We look forward to working with her on regular basis.”

About: Dog walking and cat sitting allow me to meet and build relationships with them. I Enjoy spending time outside and being active all year round. Dogs walking and pet sitting allow me to meet and build relationships with many animals and earn regular supplemental income Enjoy time outside, be active, and be a part of an animal's family. My availability time it easy to balance working with people, commitments. My house has a backyard with a closed fence. Dogs can spend outdoor time if they are happy with being outside. For playtime as needed or to take fresh air.

“Erin has been walking Risotto a few times a week to help get some of his puppy energy out. During our meet and greet, she asked really great questions to make sure she knew of any preferences we had. She’s punctual and has been working with Risotto on his endurance during walks. I would highly recommend Erin to friends and family!”

“Matt is a great walker for Nala. He is able to work with dogs who have anxiety and provides positive encouragement for Nala. In time, Nala has come to enjoy their walks together and now she speeds through them. Thank you, Matt, for everything!”

About: I love animals so much. I know how much they are a family member. I have my own dog, a miniature Australian shepherd. She is my Velcro baby. I promise to treat your pet knowing how important she/he is to you! I am currently a stay at home mom so my time is flexible, especially during the day. I will also be available on weekends and evenings. My home has a fenced in backyard. If I were to keep them here they would be very safe. My dog loves other dogs so no issues there.

About: My parents are HUGE animals lovers and I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, sugar gliders, chickens, and even a horse! I have a dog of my own, a 4 year old Cockapoo named Cassie. I’ve experienced almost every situation in the book and would love to help out my fellow pet parents in giving their pets the best! I’m currently in between jobs and applying around (I’m 22 and graduated from VT last year). I’m looking to get out of the house and I have free time to do so! I love to spoil my fur baby with plenty of walks and play time in my fenced backyard. And since I’ve experienced many escapes, trash digging, and accidents, I always know what to check to avoid these things in the first place and I’d love to do the same for your baby!

“Our pup was chill when we returned home; relaxed from his long walk in the cold. Carly took him on a nice long walk and he is now, a few hours later, happily napping on my lap. Carly must have kept him moving since they did almost 2 miles! And he loves to sniff, so that’s impressive! Thanks for giving him a healthy diversion while we were out.”

About: I have two cats at home and regularly love on friends’ pups. Always happy to have an excuse for a walk! Spending time with animals is a joy, and I will diligently follow any instructions for how you like your pet cared for. I work from home with a very flexible schedule on the days I am available. I am easily able to adapt to the schedule that your pet needs. I live close to a park and will be happy to take pets for a walk or to cuddle them at home. I stay attuned to your pet, whether they want to play or hang out. I will always give you an update when I visit or throughout the day.

About: Have been taking care of family friends pets whenever they need me to. Great with dogs of all sizes. Extremely Gentle with smaller dogs and cats. Extremely patient for dogs that may require more patience than others Recently graduated college and looking for jobs currently. I have a lot of free time so I can stay as long as needed to help out. I have two dogs with a fenced backyard. They eat at the same time every day. They use the bathroom on a consistent schedule and use that time to play and to let out energy that’s needed. We go for walks often as well as providing them with tons of toys and space.

About: I have extensive experience providing daytime care for dogs, from 8 weeks old to 18 years old, including those with special needs that make them unfit for traditional pet care services. My responsibilities include monitoring pet health and behavior to catch potential issues early, long walks/ playtime to ensure they get the stimulation they need, administering food and medication on a set schedule, and maintaining a clean, safe, and comforting environment. I implement breed- and temperament-specific measures—such as separation barriers or designated play areas—to ensure harmony among animals. I provide basic grooming services including bathing, brushing, and nail trims, and respond swiftly to emergencies with first aid and coordination with veterinary professionals when necessary. Pet care fits naturally into my routine both during the summer and while taking college classes, especially as somebody who has a dog of their own. In the summer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for animals. During the school year, I structure my classes to leave room for regular pet care responsibilities, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I'm dependable, organized, and committed to making pet care a consistent part of my daily routine year round. I’m comfortable and experienced caring for pets in clients' homes, making sure their routines are maintained in a familiar, stress-free environment. I follow all instructions closely, keep the space clean, and ensure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.

“George met our needs on very short notice and was incredibly accommodating. He was professional and kind and very easy to work with. Will definitely ask him first next time we need a dog walker.”

“This was an initial meeting with a walk for Claire to meet our dog Chas prior to a planned drop-in visit the next day. Claire was timely, professional but friendly, and clearly knows how to relate to dogs. The meeting was successful, but the walk itself was short because it was raining and as usual Chas made it clear he does not like to walk in the rain. Nevertheless, we accomplished our goal of introducing Chas and Claire before the drop-in.”

“My dog is in love with Kathy! Kathy walked Ziggy daily while we were on vacation. My mother was watching our dogs, but can't walk them safely. Kathy worked out an easy schedule to pick up Ziggy without any interruption to our elderly dog. We received daily updates and photos. She even worked in a little leash training, in which there was noticeable improvement. We are very happy with how Kathy cared for Ziggy, and highly recommend her services.”

About: I’ve grown up with many kinds of animals and have always felt a strong connection to them, their individual needs and well-being. Today I’m the parent of my cat, Peach. Every animal I have cared for over the years have taught me invaluable lessons about patience, kindness and empathy. One thing I know for sure is that I would enjoy caring for your pets and that they would feel safe with me. Thanks for reading! I’m currently working part-time, so will have plenty of time to spend caring for your pets and keeping you in the loop while I do. I’m a very calm and soft-spoken individual that animals feel safe and comfortable around. I’m also intuitive and able to cater to different personalities and needs - for example, timid or fearful animals versus confident or dominant animals. I prioritize the health and safety of my own pets through their diet, exercise, rest and play time as well as the health and safety of wildlife that has been displaced or is in danger. I have a ton of experience caring for animals of all kinds and am respectful of the boundaries set by others when it comes to caring for their pets.

“Jenny and Chas had an hour walk and for part of it she took him to her fenced back yard so he could run, his favorite. He even found a friend in the next yard that he could run the fence with, and Jenny sent me a video! Chas had a great time and came home with a big doggy smile.”

About: I'm an animal lover who would love the chance to look after your buddies while I can't adopt my own now! I was that kid who asked for a dog every birthday and Christmas. When we finally got a dog, I was over the moon! We all loved her so, so much, and miss her dearly. I would love to get some doggy-loving time with your pup! I'm happy to take dogs out in rain or shine, give them a bath, whatever you may need. I'll send lots of pics so you know how your pal is doing! Your dog is more than welcome to cuddle up with me on the couch or bed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! I'm an early riser and working from home. I love to run in the mornings if your pup needs some exercise, but also happy to lay on the couch with them! My work schedule is very flexible so I can take pups out basically as often as needed! Unless you have a crate and would prefer your pet to be created, they're free to roam in my apartment. They're welcome on the bed and couch, and I have plenty of floor space if you have your own bed for them. I work from home so can hang out and work, but have enough flexibility to for short walks throughout the day, and as much as an hour at lunch! In your home, I aim to leave it cleaner than I found it! And do my best to keep things as routine as possible so that pups are comfortable. If there's a favorite route, or a street to avoid, please let me know!
