Dog Walking in Herndon

About: I've had a dog in my home my entire life, and am always the one my friends/family turn to if they need someone to look after their pets. I have also fostered multiple dogs with leash reactivity, and have had some 1-1 work with an R+ (positive reinforcement) trainer to ensure pups can have the best experience out and about in the world while still getting their sniffs and exercise in. I occasionally run outside so I can offer to run with your pup(s) 1-2 times a week if you'd like, and I live 5 minutes away from Baron Cameron park if you like for them to play with other pups during the day at a dog park as well. Or of course we can just snuggle most of the day while I work from home. Well either way there will be lots of snuggles and pets... My last dog passed away in 2025 after a year long battle with cancer, so I have no problem giving medicine and making sure we stay on a strict schedule with food/medicine if that is what your dog needs. I look forward to becoming your pup's new best friend! I work part-time from home. I'm available for day-sitting while you're at work or overnight boarding when you're out of town. I'm typically up by 7:30, have a fenced in backyard, go on walks/runs throughout the day and love going to the dog park if your pup enjoys it! I have a 6 foot fence in my backyard that your pup can play around in. Take 2-3 x 25 minute walks around the neighborhood throughout the day and can occasionally go for 30-60 minute jogs if your pup enjoys more exercise (1-2/week)

About: I'm an animal lover who enjoys making new furry friends! I have always lived with cats and currently own 3. I'm skilled at giving cats medications and trimming their nails if those are services which interest you. My dog experience includes taking care of dozens of puppers and volunteering at the Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center (PRC). I also have experience caring for less common pets such as chinchillas, snakes, and turtles (and plants!) Don't just take my word for it, check out reviews from past pet owners. Shoot me a message if you'd like to utilize my skills! I work full-time and exclusively from home. I'm flexible with scheduling because I know how life can be. My ideal times for services are early mornings (around 7 am) and early evening (around 5 pm) on weekdays in addition to weekends. I often ride my bike to make my visits. If a zero-carbon drop in appeals to you, let me know and I'll make it a priority :D I can only take care of pets outside of my home because I have a cat who hates dogs and will attack them on sight.

“Franky has been walking my 57 lb, 12 year old boxer/lab mix for a week now and I’m very pleased. He asked good questions at our meet n greet before the first walk and is taking excellent care of my girl. He’s super nice and clearly loves dogs and knows how to treat them well. 5 stars.”

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life, and dog-sat and cared for many different dogs over the years. I will treat your pup like family. They will feel secure and safe and get a lot of attention and affection. I work from home full time and have a very flexible schedule between 8-5. In addition to a great walk, your fur-baby gets cuddles, play time, and loads of love. Your dog will never be left unattended or alone in a yard. In my house, your dog can sleep in the bed if they like (and you OK it). My own dog is a 9 year old trained therapy dog. She is calm, sweet, and gets along with all dogs both big and small, chill or playful. She'll be happy to share her home. I use positive reinforcement only.

“Kristen is the best! Coco enjoyed her walk with Kristen. She enjoyed her time with Kristen so much that she didn’t wanted Kristen to leave. Will definitely book her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of the family corgi, Lucky, for 12 years now and have petsit for neighbor’s dogs, cats, and bunnies in the past. In addition to petsitting, throughout high school I was involved in a 4-H dog training club, where Lucky and I trained together, learning tricks and agility from certified trainers and earning AKC trick titles certifications. We got a Lucky as a puppy, so I have experience with younger dogs as well. I just graduated from JMU and don’t start my first job until the end of July, so my schedule is pretty open aside from a family vacation in June. I’m unavailable on Sunday mornings (8:30am-12pm) but otherwise have plenty of free time during the rest of the week and can do visits or walking after 12:30pm on Sundays. I’m happy to accommodate whatever needs you and your pet have for care in your home. In the past, I’ve made multiple visits a day to owners homes to feed, walk, play with, and generally just check on and spend time with the animals. I have experience walking, feeding, playing indoors and outdoors, and cleaning up after dogs. I’m unable to board dogs at my house because of my own dog, but am definitely willing to care for them in their own home.

“Sarah did a great job with our pup, will be using her again!”

“Edward has been doing really well with my two year old YorkiePoo, Casper. He’s friendly, very easy going and seems to really like taking care of animals.”

About: I’ve taken care of my own cat and dog my whole life. I recently got a puppy so I can take care of younger and older dogs! Family and friends have relied on me for care for years. I will be in Malvern PA staying with family on break from Virginia Tech from May 14ish to May 25ish. Let’s talk about scheduling! I also provide babysitting services!!! I love kids I will take great care of your dog or cat, and can work with animals of all ages. I love to take care of pets!

About: I have been taking care of dogs in many environments including Rover, shelters, and veterinary medicine. Currently, I am a veterinary assistant at a pet hospital so I have experience administering medications and understand some basics of pet health and pet body language. I am comfortable walking long distances and doing enrichment activities. I have also always been surrounded by dogs and cats in my personal life as my family has had one or both almost always in the house. I want to provide the best care to all animals and treat them like they are my own! I do not currently have a consistent schedule, so I am available in a pinch if your regular sitter is not. However, at the time I cannot provided consistent service. I would monitor pets at all times in a client's home to protect their safety if I am pet sitting. I will ensure stress-free environments for the pet's comfort.
