About: When I'm not around a dog I feel like something's missing. I've had at least one dog in my life for over 35 years. Taking care and giving attention to a dog is just part of my life and always has been. I'm currently working from home part-time so I have plenty of availability. This includes weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I'm also an early riser, so I'm available early in the day if needed. I'm up every morning at 6:30. My dog, Leo and I have a morning routine. We go downstairs together, and I fill his food and water bowl. I make my coffee, and while it's brewing, we go out on our first short walk. He loves cuddling next to me whenever he gets the chance. He goes out 2 to 3 more times during the day, where I try to give him a good walk. He loves to play with toys, especially if any one at home is sitting on the floor. He also has a bedtime he has set for himself, and lets me know when it's time to go to bed for the night. I am the first choice doggy sitter for family and friends!
“Elisa is wonderful with my high-anxiety pup. We appreciate how communicative she is, and it always looks like Sadie has a great time on her walks from the many photo we get.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have experience watching and caring for both dogs and cats. I’m also comfortable with dogs of all sizes! I work from home every day and have a very flexible work schedule so I can check in on your pets whenever you need me to. I can feed, walk, and play with all sorts of animals! I really love being around animals and they seem to love being around me!
“Lianna has been great so far with Tucker! First and foremost, she really impressed me with our meet and greet. Asking such thoughtful questions, she showed how dedicated she was to providing the absolute best care to Tucker! With every walk since, Lianna has been diligent about updating me and even going as far as working on some training with Tuck. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind care provider for their fur babies!”
About: I am detail oriented and love to play with pups. If a schedule is provided, I will follow it as directed. I can walk, feed, and take pets out to potty. Your pet(s) will always be under my watch. Additionally there is someone home at all times in case I do need to step out. I also offer after hours/overnight potty breaks if needed, as late as 3am and as early as 7:30am. I also speak Spanish. I am available Monday to Friday and most weekends, which mostly depend on the time. I’m very flexible and can accommodate to you & your pet’s needs. I have a fenced front yard and backyard. Pups are always monitored anytime we’re outside. Also seperated when eating to ensure everyone ears their own meal. I can crate your dog if needed.
“I was impressed with Daniel right from the start! He is a very humble, respectful, responsible, kind young man who loves animals. My dog Sophie immediately took to him and she would have great walks with him. I asked a lot from Daniel when I went on holiday…and he delivered! He came to my home for 10 days to not only walk my dog but also feed her…give her medicine, and as a bonus, he played with her. Socializing w Sophie went a long way because she was alone most of the time. He would always be on time and, when another dog walker canceled, he quickly covered that shift. No questions or higher charge. He sent a lot of photos too. Since I’ve been back from my holiday, I’ve been in poor health. I texted Daniel and he is now my dog walker on days when I’m unable to take Sophie out myself. Again, punctual & always thinking about what’s best for my dog…. For example, He remembers to dry Sophie’s paws when they arrive from a walk in the snow or rain. I highly recommend Daniel as your dog walker or sitter.”
About: Every pet is different! I emphasize individualized care and consistent communication with the owner. Pictures and updates will be plentiful if requested. I am always looking to make some new animal friends! I moved to this area for graduate school and have stayed as I begin my career in the mental health field. I also work part time as a dance teacher and have a background in EMS but love to spend my free time with animals whenever I can! I was experienced in dog sitting in my home state and hope to continue that in this new location. Communicating with the owner is essential. Listening, knowing, and learning the animal is so important. I take the time to ensure I do all those things!
“Brianna is a great dog walker!! She is very quick to respond to messages and took the lead organizating the meet and greet. She was available on pretty short notice, which was such a relief. Brianna was immediately comfortable with my 150lb dog, which means she is comfortable with any dog! She is a great dog walker and I will be using her regularly!”
“Morgan was great! She was on time, followed the instructions I left for my dog’s care, and was considerate with key pickup and drop off. She also left a good description of the walk so that I felt clued in while I was out of the house and sent some nice pictures.”

“Caryl went above and beyond for her walk with my dog, and she spent extra time ensuring that he was settled and had what he needed before she left our home. Highly recommend her to take care of your pups!”
“Great experience and will definitely utilize Kyle's service in the future! Book with confidence everyone. Administered Cali's medication and really took fantastic care of her.”

They were the proud owners of a Beagle/Spaniel mix for 19 years, gaining experience in elder dog care in the process.

We currently both work from our home during the week, allowing for frequent walks and attention. Your pup will never be left alone for long stretches! There are no other pets in the home. The backyard is not fenced but backs up to a wooded nature preserve. The walking trails that go thru the woods make for great dog walking routes!
About: Hi! I'm an animal lover at heart, and I've been taking care of dogs since I was 11, dog sitting for neighbors (with plenty more experience caring for our family dog, Thalia — she turns 13 this year!) I'm currently on summer vacation from Virginia Tech and have my own car, so I have a completely flexible schedule. I should be able to be with your pet whenever you need me. I love spending time with all dogs, and I will be happy getting them all the enrichment and exercise they need. If you have routines that they love, I'll work to keep those up. I can't offer boarding services, but if you need someone for walking your dog or pet sitting at your house, you can count on me.

Lei has been absolutely wonderful with Freya these past few months! Freya is always so happy when she stops by. She is so attentive and caring with her, wiping her paws and making sure it’s not too hot for her to be outside long. She went above and beyond staying past the appointment time when Freya was stubborn and wouldn’t poop right away. Thank you so much for everything!
Max was great. Went above and beyond both days we used his services. Day One went a little awry with one of our dogs getting injured (through no fault of Max's!) And he communicated immediately and even waited with our dogs until we were able to make it home even though he didn't have to. Would highly recommend Max and would use him again in the future.
Rachel was flexible and communicative. Sirena loved her from the second she met her which means a lot to us since she’s a nervous girl. She was sure to communicate all the things Sirena had done with her as well as asked questions if anything came up. We definitely recommend her and will use her again :) thank you Rachel !
Highly recommend Juan as a dog walker. Communication is excellent - prompt responses and regular photo updates during walks. It's clear he genuinely cares about the dogs in his care and takes his clients needs seriously. Dependable, friendly, and professional. 5/5 stars!
From the first moment Taylor entered our house, she bonded with Poppy and gave our sweet 14 yr-old labradoodle lots of TLC and special attention dyring every visit. On very hot days when Poppy didn’t want to walk more than a few minutes, Taylor played with her inside, gave her lots of cuddles, and even played Debussy, Mozart & Beethoven for Poppy on our baby grand. Five stars +++ and a huge THANK YOU to Taylor! Highly recommend!
Rebecca was amazing with Dewey! Dewey is always so excited to see Rebecca & Hudson and loves spending time with them. Rebecca has been helping with Dewey when I’m on work trips for a couple months now and always know she’s well cared for when I’m away. Would absolutely recommend Rebecca for other owners!
