Dog Walking Foxcroft Heights

About: I have loved dogs since I could remember. I’ve had pups of my own and currently have a small Yorkie who I adore, but grew up with a German shepherd who was the best. I’m a nurse and am looking to maximize my puppy time on my time off! I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I’m more than happy to administer medication if needed. Whatever you need, I’m here for you! I’m happy to do drop ins, walks, feeding, whatever you need! I only work 3 days per week and have a lot of flexibility for morning and mid day walks. I live in a pet friendly building with a dog run. I’m happy to crate your pups if that is how they feel safest. I have one 7 year old Yorkie.

“Ciara was great with our two large goldens and was super communicative. She made sure our older girl didn’t walk too much in the heat and let us know how they were doing during the walk. Will definitely be using her for more walks in the future!”

About: Raising my own two dogs, Misha and Raya, has taught me that every pup has their own unique personality and needs. I am highly dependable, active, and detail-oriented, meaning I will always show up on time and follow your exact care instructions. Your furry best friend will be in safe, structured, and loving hands. Expect great communication and lots of picture updates! I am working full-time Monday-Friday and have occasional weekend work trips. Mostly available during weekends but can be flexible during weekdays if in a close-enough radius. Safety is my absolute baseline. I have a meticulous, detail-oriented mindset and maintain high situational awareness during all walks, keeping a close eye out for potential hazards, busy traffic, or off-leash animals. I am physically capable of handling large, strong, or reactive breeds safely, and I never cut corners when it comes to securing harnesses, leashes, or gates.

“This was my dog’s first walk with Youlee. My dog was nervous at first but when she came home she was so happy! Youlee was on time and sent lots of photos and videos. I’ll definitely hire her again.”

About: Leaving your pet with someone else is a big deal — you want to know they're safe, loved, and in good hands. That's what I'm here for. I've been around animals my whole life, from my own pets growing up to regularly caring for friends' cats/pups as an adult, plus 3 years of pet sitting through Trusted Housesitters. I'm used to stepping into a pet's routine and making sure they feel comfortable the whole time their people are away. Right now isn't the right time for me to have a pet of my own, so caring for yours is something I genuinely look forward to. I have a real soft spot for older dogs, but I'm just as happy with energetic pups who need to burn off steam. Whatever your pet needs — a long walk, medication assistance, a game of fetch, zoomies release or just some couch time — I'll meet them where they are. If you're looking for someone who'll treat your pet like their own, I'd love to meet you both! I work full time from home, which means I'm around and flexible throughout the day — not tied to a 9-to-5 that keeps me away for long stretches. I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or playtime between meetings, and I'm also open to house sitting or overnight stays when needed. Because I'm home so often, I can usually accommodate last-minute bookings too. When in your home, your pet's comfort and safety come first! More than happy to follow any safety measures that help keep your pet safe and happy.

“Eric has been great! He is very patient with our puppy who is scared of everything. He is also incredibly communicative about any scheduling issues or concerns.”

About: I have had pets my entire life, so I truly understand the love, responsibility, and commitment that come with caring for them. As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. That’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and attention to their individual needs. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, my priority is making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. You can count on me to provide reliable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands. I am the proud owner of one dog and two cats, so I understand the daily care, attention, and love that pets need. Because of my own pets, I appreciate the importance of planning ahead. As long as I receive advance notice, I can easily organize my schedule to provide reliable care for your pets. I have daily availability for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting with prior notice. I am flexible, dependable, and committed to making sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. For overnight or extended pet sitting, I provide care in the owner’s home. Since I have one dog and two cats of my own, I believe this is the safest and most comfortable option for everyone. While my pets are very friendly, I prefer to care for your pets in their familiar environment, where they can maintain their normal routine and feel more relaxed. Providing care in your home also allows me to give your pets my full attention while ensuring they remain comfortable, secure, and stress-free.

About: ​I am a huge dog lover and a very active person. I have my own dog back in my home country (Peru) who I miss very much, so I know exactly how to give your furry best friend all the love, patience, and care they deserve. I love taking long daily walks around the Arlington and Crystal City areas. I am a native Spanish speaker and currently studying English at an intermediate level. I am very comfortable communicating via text messages through the Rover app to send you quick updates and photos of your dog while you are away. I can't wait to meet your pup! My schedule is incredibly flexible right now, meaning I can easily adapt to your dog's daily walking needs. I am available throughout the week and on weekends for morning, afternoon, or evening walks. Whether you need a quick mid-day stroll while you are at work or a long evening walk around the neighborhood, I am ready to help. Since I focus exclusively on dog walking, safety during our routes is my top priority. I always ensure harnesses and collars are perfectly secure before stepping outside. I stay highly attentive to our surroundings, keeping your dog safe from traffic or other unpredictable animals, and I always make sure they stay hydrated and comfortable during our walks together.

“Ana is a very caring and reliable person who genuinely loves dogs. It’s such a great relief to know that my furry son is in her care. I always feel confident knowing he’s happy and well cared for. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

About: I've taken care of family friends' homes and pets since I was in high school and have had cats in my home since I was born. I have taken care of multiple dogs at a time, I am responsible, reliable, clean, and comfortable in other's homes. I also have lots of experience babysitting and teaching so I have lots of experience in care-focused environments. I work full time, but work 4 days a week at home. I have lots of time during my day and after work to take care of your pets! I live in an apartment building with a cat, so cannot take animals into my own home but have lots of experience taking care of pets in other's homes. I am reliable and have lived on my own for the last 5 years so I know how to keep a space clean and safe and also how to take care of pets according to any instruction given by their owners.

About: I have a passion for animals and my community. I have been taking care of animals of all kinds for over ten years now. I am also an active person who can help tire out your animals with a long walk or run. I am flexible with my schedule and will be happy to work with you when things come up. My prices are negotiable and I am happy to discuss details of any sit further! I'm currently working full-time in McLean, but I am only in office 4 days a week, so I am happy to do weekend sits or weekday sits and check in on your pets before and after work if that works for their activity level. I am very active, so I would be happy to walk or run with your pet! I care for every pet as if they were my own. I give them attention and take care of them to the fullest. I take note of any behavior changes and flag them with the pet parent to ensure nothing goes unnoticed.

About: I come from a rescue-happy family, and I am surrounded by dogs of all ages & sizes. My fiancé and I have a young dog of our own, and I hope to give your dog the same treatment we give to ours- a safe home, a watchful eye, rewards for good behavior, and a fun & adventurous day. I graduated from George Mason University in May of 2019 where I was also a student athlete. I currently work remote and am grateful that my schedule allows me to be flexible. That being said I am widely available to take care of your pup. I am all for lots of exercise, regular bathroom breaks, and unlimited snuggles. I'd love to meet your dog and see how I can help! I am available any day of the week as well as any time! My job allows me to work remotely so I have flexibility depending on my meeting schedule for the day! My fiancé and I live in a house with our almost 3 year old dog, where we have a fenced backyard to safely play and have fun!

“Gabriela was great with Raiden. Very reliable and someone I will ask in the future to walk him when I need the help. Highly recommended.”

About: I had my dog for 11 years of my life, until she recently passed. I’ve also cared for my neighbors cat for two years. While I miss my pet, I would find so much joy in caring for yours! I’m currently home for the summer from college, and I have a very free summer! I am super flexible and can care for your fur babies whenever you need! I have a fenced yard, and when I am out of my house the pet would be safely confined to one room and made as comfortable as possible. I am fully comfortable walking your dog as needed, and having play time!

About: I have about 5 years pet sitting, babysitting and house sitting experience, including taking care of a farm with goats on it :) . As a responsible and dependable caregiver, I treat every pet like my own. I pay close attention to routines, dietary needs, medication schedules, and most importantly — their emotional well-being. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away I currently work only 10 hours a week and am looking to fill my time! I attend night classes during the weekdays. I am free to check in on pets, go on walks and administer medication. I am a person who follows routines to a tee when it comes to kids and pets alike, whatever rules you have I'll follow them.

“Rasheen was great with our German Shepherd!”

About: I’ve been a dog sitter for friends and family for over 7 years. I love dog walking and giving dogs the opportunity to sniff and play during their time outside. I also am a cat mom and cat whisperer. My family has 5 cats and I have 1 so I am very well versed in understanding cat body language and boundaries. I work remotely and have a lot of down time between my meetings. My work schedule is pretty flexible and I am able to take some time off during the day if need be for pet care. I live in an apartment, with many parks around me for dog walks. I have a balcony in my apartment and am vigilant to never let animals out there for safety purposes.
