“Jennifer is great. She came to meet us and Bernie before she started walking him. We get photos and updates! She’s very nice and knows a lot about dogs so we feel really comfortable with her 😊”

About: For over 11 years, I’ve been a dedicated pet parent to both cats and dogs. My experience ranges from nursing an abandoned kitten back to health to raising a Great Pyrenees from puppyhood. I am very comfortable with giant breeds, senior pets, and high-energy dogs. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and I pride myself on providing the specific care and patience they need. I offer a consistent routine that fits perfectly around a standard workday. I’m available for early morning visits before 8:30 AM, midday check-ins during my lunch break, and am fully available after 3:00 PM for afternoon walks and evening care. My weekends are very flexible, allowing me to provide dedicated time and attention to your pets while you're away. I do not offer boarding in my home to ensure my own two dogs—a Great Pyrenees and a Bichon Frise—have an stress-free environment. However, my experience managing a multi-dog household makes me highly observant of pet behavior and safety. In your home, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine exactly as they like it. During visits, I provide fresh water, feeding, and plenty of exercise or backyard play. I am extremely respectful of your home and always send photo updates after every visit so you can see your pet is happy and safe.
“Such an amazing dog walker! My dog absolutely LOVES her. She’s always on time, caring, and attentive with our pup. We feel so lucky to have found her. I couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of attention, patience, and genuine care I give every dog like they’re my own. I understand that every pup has different needs, personalities, and routines, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Because I’m home often, I’m able to keep dogs on their normal routines as much as possible, whether that means regular feeding times, medication schedules, exercise, or simply providing a calm and comfortable environment. I enjoy having animals around and make sure they get lots of interaction, affection, and personalized care while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and any specific routines your pet is used to.
About: I have 7 years of experience walking and pet sitting dogs and cats. I'm reliable, loving, and offer personalized care for puppies and seniors pets. As a part-time student, I have a flexible schedule. I’m available most Saturdays and weekdays to walk, play with, and care for your pets reliably. I provide a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for your pets, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are always my highest priority and focus.
“Nicolas is absolutely fantastic!!! Just recently moved to the area and needed help with walking Mick and Abby while at work. As being new to the app and the dog walking services I reached out to Nicolas based on his previous reviews! He immediately texted me back and we did the meet and greet. Both of my pups took a liking to him from the beginning! Nicolas is absolutely wonderful with them, he is always on time and is great at communicating with us!!! Look no further because he is the absolute BEST!!!”
About: Ive grown up around animals my entire life. Since i can remember my family has had a pet dog. We have also had two cats since i was about 10 years old. . I love dogs and cats so much and i would take great care of yours. Im a college student looking to make a little extra money this summer so if you are too busy or just need a little bit of help im your guy!! I currently have a part-time job but im thinking of quitting that job, so i will have tons of free time to take care of any pets. I have a fenced in yard with two very playful pups. There is also tons of toys scattered throughout the house for the pups to play with. Dogs are allowed on all couches and beds. I also have two cats who are nice but also just mind their own business.
About: Hi, I’m Tess! I live in Charles Town, WV with my two-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Louie, and two cats, Tatiana and Rudy — so your pet is walking into a home that already loves animals. I take a slow, easy approach to dog care. I let dogs sniff, wander, and just be themselves, whether we’re doing a neighborhood walk, a quick potty break, or a longer trail outing. Every walk is just two dogs at most, so your pup gets real time and attention. I always send photo updates along the way so you can see how they’re doing. I welcome dogs of all sizes who are friendly with other dogs, cats, and people. For boarding, I have a large fenced backyard and keep things small and relaxed — more like a home than a kennel. I also offer occasional house sitting for dogs who are happiest in their own space. I’d love to meet your pup! Feel free to reach out to check availability or set up a meet-and-greet. Fridays are my day off, so walks are unhurried and get my full attention. For boarding, I'm home all weekend, so any dog staying with me has someone around rather than sitting alone in an empty house. Dogs staying with me have access to a large fenced backyard and are never left alone outside. Inside, I keep a calm, low-stimulation environment. My Cavalier Louie lives here full time, so any boarding dog will be introduced to him gradually and supervised until I'm confident they're comfortable together. I do a meet and greet with Louie before confirming any boarding stay. For house sitting, I follow the owner's routine as closely as possible so the dog's environment feels as normal as it can while they're away. Photo updates are sent throughout any service.
About: I have spent my entire life taking care of and gaining the necessary experience to take care of of both large and small dogs. I understand what’s needed to keep them happy, playful, and safe. I am able to adapt and get along with most dogs, and can be trusted! I currently am a student who gets home early and is able to devote a significant a part of my day, and night if necessary. We have a fenced in backyard, plenty of leashes, toys, and things meant to care for and play with our dogs. I plan to use and bring some of these items to help do my job better.
About: I have been caring for pets since I was young, with over 20 years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets and those needing a little extra patience or special care. I understand that every animal has its own personality, and I strive to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’ll make sure your pets are treated like family. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to focus on pet care. I’m available most weekdays and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. This schedule allows me to give pets the attention they need without feeling rushed, whether that’s exercise, playtime, or simply keeping them company. In my home, I provide a safe and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I have a clean and pet-friendly space and treat every animal as if they were my own. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and any special needs. Whether in my home or yours, I’m dependable, gentle, and detail-oriented. I’m also experienced with deep cleaning, litter box maintenance, and ensuring a stress-free environment so pets stay happy and healthy while you’re away.
About: Grew up dog sitting many different breeds and ages. Had a beagle myself growing up. While in the military and overseas I got my German shepherd. I fostered a pitt, Frenchie, and a mastiff overseas as well. Very comfortable providing care needed and medication. I am in school full time online, this provides me with a lot of free time that will allow me to provide extra care for your animals. I live in a great area where I can walk and care for different animals. Your animals will feel very safe with me caring for them.

I have a fenced in yard at home that we let my three dogs out in. We have three dogs with vastly different personalities so have ample experience in reading personalities and knowing boundaries for different types and how to step in and correct. Also with having a rabbit, I am experienced with different animal relationships and how they can interact.
About: I have experience with pet sitting throughout the years for family, friends, and neighbors. I'd say I have a deep caring nature when it comes to all living things from puppies, cats, dogs big and small, turtles, fish, hamsters, plants, you name it!

Guiding and helping others is something I truly value within myself and I can guarantee that I am trustworthy when it comes to ensuring your pets are taken care of, knowing they have a non-so-furry friendly guest coming to look after them!
About: I've had dogs, cats, and a pig throughout my life. I currently am a momma to two German shepherds and a pig. I've taken care of puppies, seniors, and my little girl is special needs. I love interacting with animals of all ages, breed, and needs. I'm available from 9am to 7pm. I am currently a stay at home dog/ pig mom. I am available from 9 am to 7 pm and can take your pup for a walk, take to a dog park, or play in the yard. I would love to walk your pup, have a good play time, and make sure their bowl is full.

About: I have worked in pet care/home care for over a decade! I work as a dog walker for a company in Berryville, and I also work as a groomer for a Newfoundland Breeder with show dogs. I have had experience as a vet technician as well! I am comfortable will all types of dogs and would love to meet yours❤️ I provide daily dog walking services and breaks, in home boarding or house sitting. Dog walking and pet care is more then simply providing the basics, I appreciate the trust that owners give when having someone provide care for there beloved animals. Respect, genuine love, trust and a building relationship goes into each pet a care for. Pet care is full time for me, and I am available weekly and in the weekends. My schedule is generally flexible and I can usually accommodate even last min requests. However I do occasionally have a fully scheduled week and any house sitting or dog sitting requests would be easier to schedule with a couple weeks notice. I do not currently have a fenced in yard, but I provide walks and potty breaks by walking on a leash as needed. I live close to 2 dog park’s and I love to take them there to burn off energy ( as long as dog parks are not an overwhelming experience and the owner agrees it is ok to visit one ), I also enjoy bringing them along as a running and hiking buddy on the several nature trails near me. If I am watching a pet in their own home, I will just keep up with the normal routine as stated by the owner, and of course always check with you to make sure any new activities we try are ok
