About: I have owned pets with my family since I was a baby, and I have been volunteering with animal rescues since the age of 14! (to care for and clean up after cats/dogs.) I also own 14 fish tanks, and 2 beautiful kitties. All very well loved animals. I am currently working part time job during school. I am a college student but only have classes about 3 days a week. I am able to work best after school/ work hours, or on off days! Contact me and we can work something out:) I am an experienced pet owner, and I am happy to provide all the basics like, cleaning cages/litter boxes, food/water bowls, refreshing water and feeding, taking on walks, and playing with the your pet, and of COURSE providing lots of love and attention😸!

Review for Ian D. I can't recommend Ian D highly enough! My two dogs have their quirks—especially my Staffy, who tends to be a bit wary of men. Ian was aware of this and took the time to ease into the situation, which I found incredibly impressive. Now, Izzy is a huge fan! He was consistently on time and provided them with wonderful walks every day. It's clear he genuinely cares for the dogs and understands their needs. His responsible approach and great personality make him an outstanding choice for any dog owner. If you're looking for a reliable and caring dog walker, sitter look no further!

About: I have cared for my pup Java at all stages of life, from his energetic puppy phase (which brought our house many gifts of dead squirrels or chickens) to his current slow moving (and less critter hunting) old age. I love walking dogs and will even take them on my runs if they’re the active type. Whatever type of activity that suits them I can do - from backyard playtime to a run through a park! I am a student off for the summer with no other job… I have endless free time and definitely need something to keep me busy!! I will care for your pet the way that you as the owner prefer. While my dog can go off-leash in grassy areas I understand that not all are the same and will follow the instructions you give! I do not have a fenced in yard but can take your pup to a nearby dog park if they’re off-leash time is what they like!

About: I owned a dog for most of my life. My dog sadly passed away after fifteen great years of happiness! I watch my friend's dogs when they go out of town because I'm usually always reliable and do most of my work inside my home. I am not lazy with taking dogs on walks and I care for pets like they are my own :) I am a stay at home mom to a 2 year old so I am always home to care for your loved one. We have a fenced backyard and lots of areas to walk. I can be flexible about what your pet needs. If you would prefer them in a crate at night I’d be happy to do that but usually I love having your pets roam around my townhouse and our fenced yard!

Carly was absolutely fantastic caring for our dog, Kongo, while we were away on vacation. She was consistently timely, punctual, responsible, and extremely responsive throughout the entire process. Most importantly, Kongo absolutely loved her, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while traveling. What truly stood out was Carly’s professionalism and calm demeanor when she unexpectedly had to deal with a malfunctioning smoke alarm at our home during our trip. She handled the situation confidently and without hesitation, acting as though it was no inconvenience at all — despite it being something far beyond what should normally be expected of a dog walker. Knowing Carly was caring for Kongo made our vacation far more relaxing and enjoyable. We are incredibly grateful for her reliability, kindness, and dedication. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and exceptional pet care. Five stars all the way!

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 currently own a beautiful eleven year old border collie/lab mix! Even while I was in college, all three times, I still took care of her! I will be ready and open to play with and exercise your dog(s)! I am available most days of the week in the afternoon-evening range, about 11 AM - 6 PM.I will be more than happy to cater and care towards your dog or dogs needs, even if it just for a simple walk. I would love to make sure your dog(s) are eating well, and staying healthy and fit which can be hard while working. If you have any other pets like cats or small animals, I am more than willing to also provide care for them as well! I also work as a substitute teacher so please be flexible if I have to cancel or postpone because of that! Thank you! I’m currently in between jobs so I will have plenty of time for your pups and other pets. I work mostly during the late morning and late afternoon. I have a fenced yard for my dog and take extra care to make sure my dog is safe at home, during walks, and when we travel. I will provide the same care to your pets as well

About: Hi, I'm Rachel! I grew up in Alexandria, Virginia but recently moved back after living in the UK for 5 years! While moving back, I did bring my 4 year old Basset Hound/Labrador mix - Bruce - with me! I grew up around dogs, and have never been without one. Personally, I wouldn't know a life without a dog or a cat. Life is too quiet. This is why I began to dally in pet care, because I know just how important a pet is, and they deserve company, care, love and play at all times. I currently work part-time at a small store, but am also using my free time to write my first book! I just moved back to the Alexandria area with my own dog, and love learning about new walking routes. In my home, pets are allowed on the furniture and spoiled rotten. I have a basket of toys that is always open, and have a variety of different treats or different dietary needs.

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!
