Dakota was friendly, flexible, and reliable. Sam always enjoyed his time with Dakota. Dakota interspersed neighborhood walks & trips to the dog park with visits to Barnes & Noble and other places. We will use Dakota again without reservation and highly recommend him to care for your pet.

Julia is an exceptional dog walker. Her care of our dog is outstanding, from the length of the walks to her following what we have asked of her. And she not only understands her role, but proactively found a replacement for future times she will be unable to walk him. We could not be happier with Julia!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds for over 8 years and have experience with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and overnight care. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to care for their pets and make sure they feel comfortable and safe while away. I also have personal experience with wound care and closely monitoring my own dog during recovery, so I understand the importance of patience, attentiveness, and following care instructions carefully. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like my own. I’m currently working part time at the University of Virginia, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend caring for your pets throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and making sure your pets get lots of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in both my home and my client’s home. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any special care requests. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and needs and make sure they get plenty of affection, exercise, and supervision. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: I have been taking care of friends, family members animals for over 2 years now while attending college. I love giving care to their furry friends while they are away. Having animals myself I understand the need to have a trustworthy caretaker while away! I look forward to become your pets new friend! I currently work 30/32 hours a week usually during the early mornings or mid afternoons. I have usually offered early morning walks or evening walks to those in need! I am able to do overnights as well, but always check to make sure the animals will be okay while I work! I have always tried to take care of the pets in the exact way the client has asked. I am able to sit in during meals, stay to get energy out, or even squirrel watch! I always try to make the animals stay in the routine that they have known!

About: I have a large family dog that I have been responsible for since I was about 10 years old. She has since gotten older so I have experience with a senior dog and giving any sorts of medication (and the peanut butter necessary to get her to take it). I am no stranger to having to clean up any accidents in the house so that is a non-issue for me. I am also open to taking care of other animals like rodents or turtles or other cage creatures. I am a true and passionate animal lover! My schedule is very flexible at the moment. I am happy to give as much or little time needed for the pets. I can figure out any scheduling and details necessary with clients. I am never loud coming into a home. I always let the pets come to me unless they are hiding on purpose. I take care instructions very seriously and will follow everything exactly and will reach out if I have questions about the best way I can care for your fur friend.

About: I treat every pet like my own giving them plenty of care, attention, and love. I have experience with both energetic puppies and gentle senior pets, tailoring my care to meet their unique needs. Whether your dog needs extra playtime, medication, or just company, I make sure they stay happy and comfortable while you’re away. My communication is consistent, and I always keep pet parents updated with photos and notes for peace of mind. Pet care fits really well into my weekly routine. I currently work three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility on my off days and most weekends to focus on pets. On the days I’m working, I can still accommodate morning, evening, and some weekend visits, so pets get reliable, attentive care built into my schedule. For drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they have fresh water, food as instructed, a potty break, and plenty of playtime or cuddles so they feel comfortable while you’re away. For dog walks, I focus on safe, enjoyable walks that match your dog’s energy level, making sure they get exercise, enrichment, and a chance to explore while I keep you updated with notes and photos after each visit.

About: Growing up, I walked and dog-sat for my friends and family. I also provided dog-walking services to residents in my neighborhood, occasionally helping out with training exercises. I'm a full-time student with availability in the evenings and on the weekends. I also occasionally have time in the middle of the day, depending on the booking time and my work schedule. I'm very conscientious, and I abide by the concept of leaving a place cleaner than how I found it. This means establishing clear locational boundaries and ensuring that the pet's safety takes priority, but also making sure that your home stays clean.

Maddie has been a great, reliable, responsible, trustworthy dog walker. She is consistent and super sweet to my 4-legged, wild, slightly anxious, sometimes hard of hearing fur baby. She has great communication and has made my life easier knowing my dog is taken care of during the day when I can’t be there! Highly recommend her services! My schedule is changing but I will definitely be a return customer when I need her again. Thanks Maddie!
