Dog Walking Lisbon

About: I have raised my own dog since she was ten weeks old, mentored by my father who has raised three litters of puppies throughout his life. I have also done pet-sitting for friends and family for dogs as small as beagle puppies to as large as a Labrador. I am a Graduate student, but I manage to take six- mile walks every morning year-round. As my classes are in the evening, I can fit dog-walking into my schedule in the mornings and early afternoons. I am attentive and responsible for my pets needs, and take pride in ensuring that the animals I care for are happy and healthy. I have a nine-year-old mixed breed dog who enjoys her daily walks and sunbathing on the deck, but does not enjoy the company of other dogs very much.

“Just in the few walks we've scheduled with Lin, I can already tell she's the best dog walker we've ever had. Our dog looks forward to their walks together! I've also noticed how much better our dog walks on leash with us - she's not pulling as much.”

“Ryan was wonderful. I can tell she really loves animals and cares about her job. She followed through with everything that I requested her to do. She had no problem at all walking both of my dogs at the same time - which can be challenging! I hope to use her again but from what I understand she goes away to college soon and will return to Maryland for holidays and when her school has breaks.”

“This is our first experience using a dog walker with Rover and we are very pleased with Destiny! We needed someone to walk our dog 3 times a day for two days. She arrived on time for all 6 walks and sent pictures of each walk. We will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: I will treat your pet as if it is my own and will make sure they stay calm and happy while you are away!! I have experience with older dogs and puppies! I am available almost all summer.I am a full time college student working on my Bachelors of science but I am home for the summer. Pet sitting can be fit into my schedule as needed. I can let the dogs run outside for a while in a fenced yard, I can take them on walks through the neighborhood, I can practice commands, or just give some snuggles.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve had cats throughout my life and have also had the joy of caring for a dog. I truly enjoy the companionship that pets bring and love giving them plenty of attention, affection, and care. Now that my kids are grown and out of the house, I have more time to spend doing something I genuinely enjoy! Being around animals! I’d love to spoil your pets with love, playtime, walks, and lots of attention while you’re away. My goal is to make your pets feel comfortable, happy, and cared for just like they were at home. I can stop in before and after work. Or I can stay at your house. I work a 9-5 weekdays. I am available also on weekends. I will follow your expectations while sitting for your pets in your home. I will make sure the home remains pet safe. Making sure your pets environment is safe before leaving them. I will give them lots of attention and playtime.

“What a great experience using Natalie to care for my dog Daisy!”

“Xin is a wonderful dog walker- she's a great communicator, excellent with our dog and timely! She even did some research on harnesses and leashes for us! We will continue to use Xin and highly recommend her to other families.”

“Nicole is great with our dogs. She has a calm demeanor and the dogs are immediately drawn to her. She is punctual and very professional. I look forward to having her back again.”

About: I love all animals - big, small, fluffy, scaly and everything in between. I’ve been a horse back rider and pet owner for as long as I can remember. I sit for family, friends and have a passion for learning about animal behavior in my free time. I own my own business and work from home. My schedule is extremely flexible and can help almost any day, any time. I know the area super well and frequent lots of small parks in HoCo for shady hikes and sniffing around - if your pet is up for a field trip! I have a large yard with lots of plays to sniff, play and lounge. I don’t plan to do in home sitting but if I did, I have a large house, non smoking with no children. I would treat your pet as one of my own.

“Terri has been a fantastic support for our family. She is dependable and trustworthy and sends an update after each visit. Knowing that our little Spaniel is comfortable and happy is the best feeling when I am away from home. I am so grateful that I found her, and I look forward to working with her for a long time!!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for years—both my own and through my professional pet sitting work. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pups, including energetic puppies and sweet senior dogs who may need a slower pace and extra patience. I also have personal experience caring for an injured dog (my own had a CCL tear last summer), so I understand how important it is to be gentle, keep walks controlled, and watch for any limping or discomfort. During visits, I make sure your dog gets a safe walk, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of love—plus photo updates and a detailed visit note so you always know how things went. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits. I’m also available for last-minute requests when needed, including weekends and holidays. Safety is my top priority. I always follow pet parent instructions closely and keep routines consistent. For walks, I use a waist leash/leash belt so your pup is securely attached to me the entire time—this helps keep both your pet and me safe. I’m careful around doors and gates, double-check locks before leaving, and I send updates with notes and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I am a long-time animal lover and human companion to many dogs! I adore my 4 rescue dogs, my 2 rescue cats, and my 2 happy humans! We spend our time creating a fun, happy, positive atmosphere full of good energy! I am experienced in caring for all types of dogs and cats, chickens, small animals, and have basic equine care experience. I have cared for dogs for over 30 years. I have fostered and provided support for dogs from young puppies to seniors that require special treatment, diet, medication and/or physical assistance, including amputee rehabilitation. One of my rescues (Penny) is blind, Luna has a single lung after three heart surgeries, and two are active seniors, Lani and Fiji! I use touch therapy on my dogs, along with holistic methods and work hard to keep our home full of health and happiness. Making sure our beautiful companions are comfortable, happy, and healthy is my goal! I feed my own dogs a holistic and healthy diet, and make their food and snacks myself. I volunteer with a local pet rescue group, where I transport animals, and help the organization with applications and adoptions. My true passion is to make babies with 4 legs wag their tails and show me that their hearts are truly happy! I am excited to bring my love, care, and joy to your pets, too!

About: Lifelong experience caring for dogs, cats and a horse and studying psychology in college. I believe quality time for bonding, play and affection is just as important as food/potty breaks for pet happiness. The best part of pet sitting is the quality time spent with your pet after all the business is done! I have a flexible schedule so I'm able to make most times work. I can walk, feed, water, scrub bowls, medicate (comfortable administering oral meds to dogs and cats), clean up as needed, play with and generally whatever is needed to keep your pet on a regular schedule. We have 2 friendly smaller dogs and a dog door & ramp straight out to the fenced backyard. The house is one level with only 1 step in and out. There are crates set up in multiple locations and there are ways to separate animals safely if ever needed. Someone is home all day every day, pets are never kept without heat or AC.

About: Dogs have been in my life since I was 12 years old. I have had 4 dogs throughout that time. I have experience with both senior dogs and high-energy younger dogs. I am more used to smaller dogs, but one of my current 2 dogs is a 54lb pitt-bull, the other one is a 15lb pug mix. I also used to take care of a 70lb standard poodle for a family I was a nanny for. I am currently unemployed, so I have open availability. I am working on my master´s degree and would like to use this extra time to save a little money since I just got married. I offer dog walking and house sitting services. I can also play with them and provide a safe and comfortable envoinment. I will adapt to whatever specific needs your pets may have.

“Rosie does very well with my friendly but reserved older husky but also with my wild and crazy 2-yr-old foster dog. Two very different types! Looks like she can deal with most anything.”

About: Dog boarding: I have 16 years experience for caring for dogs at home including multiple dogs at a time. Additionally I have six years experience with dog sitting/boarding. My main availability would be Monday-Saturday where I WFH meaning constant attention and activities for the dogs to be a part of. Dog walking: My main availability would be Monday-Friday. I live right by Rock Creek Park so there are plenty of trails nearby to avoid busy streets on walks. Also available to commute through the DMV area for any service. I myself decided to join this app because I have always love helping dog owners provide the best life experience for their fur babies. I understand that sometimes it takes a village to have a dog/cat constantly looked after. With this I thought that dog boarding and sitting could be a great experience for the dogs and cats alike as I’m a high energy person who loves the outdoors. (Tips are encouraged and greatly appreciated) I work from home so I’m able to constantly give dogs/cats attention. This means constant potty breaks, multiple walks a day with varying duration, and lots and lots of affection. In my home I have two friendly dogs (crate-trained) and a doggy door with access to a fenced yard. Nearby there are also walking trails and parks away from busy roads for the dogs to roam.
