Dog Walkers in Lacey Spring, VA

About: I’ve had pets all my life. Growing up as a kid, we always had dogs and cats and I was responsible for feeding/watering them. We also had ferrets. I’m a huge animal lover. Im a stay at home mom and my schedule is pretty flexible. I have no issues letting the kids tag along IF your fur baby likes kids. I will make sure your fur baby is comfortable. We will play, do walks, whatever makes them happy. I am looking forward to meeting them!

About: I have grown up in a pet friendly household and taken care of my neighbors pets frequently. I love being around both cats and dogs! I am on summer break so I have a lot of free time! I have an internship that is very flexible and once a week (ending soon though) but other than that I currently do not have any other things that interfere with my schedule. I like to create an environment for pets where they feel comfortable and relaxed. I love giving them lots of toys and playing with them, but knowing when to give them space or let them nap. I also love taking them on long walks or just giving them lots of pets :)

About: I have always had a love and passion for animals since I was a little girl. I started in elementary school by offering to walk my neighbors' dogs just so I could have the opportunity to play with them. Over the years, I have gained even more love and experience in properly caring for all animals as if they were my own. I am a student at JMU who is looking for something part time. I have a lot of free time in the afternoon and most weekends which I would love to spend my time with your wonderful animals! I currently live in an apartment building but is willing to take them in, take them to dog parks, and go on long walks. I am comfortable and flexible on what I would need to do to ensure the happiness and safety for your pets!

About: I have been a cat parent for my whole life in which I have administered medication to them including eye drops, ear drops, liquid & pill oral medication. I have also grown up around dogs as well given that most of my boyfriend and friends are dog parents. I have walked their dogs before and taken care of their cats as well. I can clean litter boxes, food bowls, vomit, etc. I currently work part time at dad's business, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am willing to come multiple times a day and multiple days a week no matter the time unless I have a prior engagement. I have an orange tabby cat that is strictly indoors to optimize his safety against potentially harmful animals, insects, and people. I care for my cat and those I have taken care of by respecting the boundaries that their owners have set regarding indoors or outside pets. I clean their food and water bowls every day before I give them food. Also, I will play with them frequently unless they do not want to engage. I believe adhering to the pet's needs as well as their owners is deeply important.

About: My family had two aging beagles I helped care for that eventually passed away. They both required much attention and medication. Any time my family members or friends need someone to watch their dog, they ask me. I have experience working with smaller sized dogs and much bigger dogs. I have also worked at a humane society. I’m currently in grad school but I will still have plenty of time to care for your fur babies and will make sure they are happy and healthy! I will make sure they go to the bathroom regularly, make sure they get plenty of exercise/walks, make sure they are well fed, and make sure they are overall safe and comfortable. It is my job to make sure your fur baby is happy! I am a responsible and compassionate care giver and I treat animals like people.

About: Hi there! I'm Carrie. I have been a pet owner and caretaker for over 15 years! I am experienced in walking, feeding, and otherwise caring for several types of pets. I currently own a cat and a dog, but I can also care for rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish! My main option here is dog walking, but I can also do drop-in visits as needed. I currently work part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your animals and take them for walks. I am available most weekends for drop-in visits, and I will house sit as needed! I will ensure that dogs remain safely leashed during all walks. If the temperature of asphalt is too warm for walks I make sure to stick to grassy areas. I ensure that I know current vet care and contact numbers for emergency situations.

“Anna is amazing!! My dog absolutely loves her and so do I! She is always on time and if she can’t be she lets me know ahead of time!”

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle older dogs, such as my own. I tailor my approach to each animal’s needs. What sets me apart is my calm, patient energy and attention to detail—I don’t just watch pets, I get to know them. I have experience with basic training reinforcement, senior pet care (including administering oral medications), and making nervous animals feel safe and loved. Whether it’s a long walk, structured playtime, or simply keeping a routine, I care for every pet like they’re my own. As a college student home for the summer, I have a flexible and open schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. With no classes or school obligations right now, I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits—whatever fits your pet’s routine best. I love spending my summer surrounded by animals, and I’m fully committed to giving each pet the time and attention that they need. Safety and trust are my top priorities in every pet care situation. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their space and routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all owner instructions carefully—from feeding schedules to medication dosages—to ensure consistency and well-being. I always secure doors, windows, and any potential hazards to create a safe environment. As for staying in my home, I unfortunately cannot have other pets coming and staying with me, due to the amount of allergies in my household and my older dog that is living with me

About: I love animals and have volunteered at Middleburg Humane Shelter and fostered for them for the past 5 years. My favorite types of dogs are larger working dogs, but the smaller pups require a more delicate skill set that I'm thrilled to provide. I have experience with dog training and am able to be as strict or lax with your pets as you'd prefer. I'm around the Bethesda/Tysons Corner area and would be so happy to help you out with your travels! I work nights from around 6pm to 11pm, and would be unable to let your pets out during that time, but other than that am available. I have two cats and take care of my sister's German Shepherd mix and several horses. My sister and I do some agility work with the pup, and I love to take my cats on day trips with me- they both walk on a leash! I'm happy to send you all the pictures in the world of your animals while I'm with them, report to you the exact mileage of walks, and love to snuggle in bed with them if I'm house-sitting. I don't mind if you have cameras in your house to watch your pets; I just appreciate if they're in areas such as the living room or where your dog is most frequently.

A little bit about me: I have children of my own; one 11 year old named Jovi and a 7 year old named Presley and an 5 month old named Jagger.Our family loves and adores animals. Our home is VERY dog friendly and so am I. We have a 9ft privacy fence so any dogs are free to roam in our backyard. I am available to watch, play, in, walk, & take care of your dog. Please feel free to ask me any questions and I'll be able to answer them swiftly! We currently have 1 dog of our own! an Irish wolfhound ! As well as 1 sweet cat I rescued. I am currently a stay at home mom/animal mom and a able to have a lot of flexibility with your schedule. I always ask for a 10 minute heads up with pickups and drop offs so I can cage my animals that typically free roam. I have a fully fenced yard and a doggy of my own to keep your doggy entertained! If they are easily over stimulated I can elevate them or provide a quiet environment as well. I am currently a stay at home mom so can devout all of my attention to the supervision of every animal in my home, which is really what makes me happy! I have a fenced yard for my dog as well as yours. Other dogs must be dog friendly as well:) I also love to take walks and let the dogs roam with me in the garden in the morning :)

About: Dreamed of being a veterinarian as a child. Ended up having to change course, but I've always been an animal lover at ❤! Ever since childhood I've been involved with dog showing, at 15 i interned w/ a vet, had numerous pets, and have run my own pet services the last few years. Recent pandemic issues have caused my clients to work from home so I'm no longer needed as much. I have a nice backyard with new 5ft fencing. Plenty of potty and playing space for doggos. I have a large kennel/ crate that can be used if necessary. I've lived in this area most of my life so I do know my way around to the best watering holes and hiking trails. Besides dogs and cats I've also raised numerous reptiles , turtles and frogs. So just in case you have need to feed other critters I've probably got you covered! I cannot work a 9 to 5 job anymore, but I can give my animals all the love and attention they need. I treat my dog like he's my best friend he's never alone and always in the house with me. He loves following me around doing chores and usually visiting dogs do the same. My yard has a new 5 ft fence that is puppy proof!! The yard is just the perfect size for good dog romping and ball fetching! Azul, my Husky is down for a good chase, but he usually let's the small dogs win !! We've had atleast 10 different dogs now and really enjoy meeting and introducing them to our Husky. When he lost his Bella he was so sad this is truly helping. I'm here 24/7 along with my husband and daughter. This is our, "job" , but honestly it's not a job it's to fun! We devote most of our days to taking care of our animals. So the more the merrier!! We have a new 6 foot fence in backyard with locked gates. Also, we have our front porch gated. Our boy Azul is a Husky and they love to play catch me if you can!!

About: I have decades of experience caring for pets, including cats, dogs, guinea pigs and other animals. From bottle-feeding kittens to caring for elderly or sick pets, I’m always attentive to the particular needs of each individual animal. Currently I have a flexible schedule and spending time with animals is my favorite thing to do. Your pet will be in good hands with me. I like to visit in advance to get familiar with your pet and make sure I understand everything you need me to do to look after your pet in your house, or to do scheduled dog walking.

About: I've been around dogs all my life and more recently acquainted with cats. I have participated in formal dog training over the years for personal pets and had the pleasure to experience some training techniques while in the military. I am currently going to graduate school full time, but my schedule is relatively free Mondays and Thursdays until 2pm and all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Your pet's safety is of the utmost importance. Safe routes and pathways will be established before every walk. All emergency clinics will be identified and of course you will always be with us for every step via updates.

“Moriah was so great for Walt! Not only did she help fill a need for us with a last minute cancellation, she was so responsive and great with our dog. She gave great feedback after every walk and was so kind. I would definitely hire again and recommend to friends!”
