Dog Walking Lorton

“Cares a lot for the pups. When it was pouring came to take my dog for a pee and then returned when it wasn’t raining for a walk :) impressed.”

About: I used to work for the pet sitter company for the last 5 years and working with many various of sized dogs including cats. Willing to take care of special needs pets. I also can cover your fish feeding, lizards, and ferrets if needed. Hit me up. We can plan a planning. Woof woof! I’m currently self - employed part time. I’m usually available on many days. Would like to walk early morning and midday when you’re going to work or far away. Can cover the same pet in evening if something happens suddenly. Unfortunately, I live in someone’s place and have to follow his policies. No pets allowed in my home but good news I can take care of your pets in your sweet home.

“Hannah is absolutely awesome! I booked her for a week to care for King, and she was incredibly timely, engaging, and focused on his needs every single day. She provided detailed notes after each visit, sent wonderful photos during their walks, and even left a sweet, handwritten thank-you note at the end of the booking. To top it off, when another walker had a last-minute transportation emergency this morning, I contacted Hannah, and she went completely out of her way to come out and help us on short notice. She is always responsive, highly professional, and truly cares about King. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“Benji simply adores Kay! She is attentive and adventurous — taking him on nice long walks in our neighborhood. She is timely and thoughtful - sending periodic photos to check-in on his well-being and responding to any inquiries with minutes. To put it plainly, she deserves five stars — would absolutely recommend!”

About: I've had pets for nearly my entire life, and I've become a true animal lover as a result. I care for animals with the compassion and patience that they deserve. I have years of experience caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. Dogs, cats, exotic birds, and reptiles are among the animals I've had the pleasure of caring for. I work on a schedule that I make myself, so generally speaking there is no time that I can't make work to take care of your pet! I take your trust in me to come to your home very seriously, so I like to make sure that I'm transparent and open with exactly how I care for your pets. I will clean up any mess, give them any medicine necessary, and do anything else necessary to make you comfortable with me being there!

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals. Working with them is both fun and incredibly rewarding. Growing up, I wasn’t able to have a pet of my own because of my family’s living situation, but I was lucky to spend time with the animals our family friends had. Those experiences really opened my eyes to the special bond between people and their pets. It was touching to see just how much joy and comfort an animal can bring into someone’s life. That’s why I’d be honored to care for your pets and give them the love and attention they deserve! I’m currently working part-time so my schedule is pretty flexible! I prefer working weekdays as to on weekends I am a busy person but I can always work around schedule & work something out! I prefer boarding but as to where I live now it works but having a larger space for the pet is always a necessity, I have access to a dog park at my apartment complex but inside my home isn’t my best option.

“Excellent Pet Care – Highly Recommend! Taylor did an amazing job taking care of my dog Prudence while I was traveling. Zero issues, and she communicated really well throughout my trip. Prudence was happy and healthy when I returned. Taylor is reliable, trustworthy, and clearly cares about the animals she watches. Would absolutely use her services again and highly recommend her to anyone needing a great pet sitter!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​”

“What a great find for us with David (and his family)! They are prompt and reliable. Our dog loved them. We plan to ask them to help us again.”

About: Growing up with pets and currently living with family dogs, including two adults and four puppies has given me hands-on experience with all stages of a dog's life. As an active youth soccer coach and language teacher, my approach to dog walking centers entirely on safety, patience, and clear communication. When I am out on a walk with your pup, my focus is 100% on them. I am highly vigilant about my surroundings, ensuring we avoid busy traffic, unleashed animals, or items on the sidewalk they shouldn't eat. I am incredibly patient with dogs that love to pause and sniff, and I have the stamina to keep up with high-energy breeds that need a faster pace. You can always count on receiving detailed updates and photos after every single walk so you know exactly how your dog's outing went! Because I work as a language teacher and youth soccer coach, my days are structured around distinct, predictable blocks of time. This structure allows me to seamlessly fit pet care into my morning window (6:00 AM – 11:00 AM) and my midday window (12:00 PM – 3:00 PM) before my evening practices start. I update my Rover calendar weekly to align perfectly with my teaching lessons and coaching sessions. This ensures that when I am booked for a walk, I have zero outside distractions and can dedicate my full attention to your dog's exercise and safety. Since I only offer dog walking services, I focus entirely on providing exceptional care at the client's home. Before entering, I carefully review the owner's entry instructions to ensure the home remains secure. Once inside, I greet the dog calmly, properly secure their collar or harness, and double-check that the leash is safely attached. After our walk, I ensure the dog has fresh water, wipe their paws if needed, and securely lock the client's door exactly as requested. I always send a detailed Rover card update with photos before leaving.

“Macy is awesome! She is so understanding, patient, and loving with our two labs (including one that takes a while to warm up)! Macy has excellent communication and is always on time, often early. It gives me such peace of mind to see how much our dogs love their weekly walks with her!”

About: My lifelong love for animals began growing up visiting farms, which taught me to be patient, gentle, and attentive to animal’s needs. I worked at an animal hospital for over a year, assisting veterinarians with administering medications to dogs and cats. I also handled the boarding and daily care of dogs, cats, birds, turtles, and geckos. I was trained to properly feed, monitor, bathe, and exercise over 100 pets per day. This hands-on medical and boarding experience allows me to provide a higher level of care, safety. I adore senior doggies and cats and the puppies and kittens are the funniest! I maintain a consistent weekly schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive pet care. I am available in the evenings on Mondays and Wednesdays after 7 PM, have midday and evening availability on Tuesdays, and can provide care in the mornings and evenings on Thursdays and Fridays. I am fully available on weekends, which allows for extended care, drop-ins, and flexible scheduling. When I care for pets in a client’s home, my main focus is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My experience working in an animal hospital taught me how to carefully follow routines, notice small changes in behavior, and handle pets gently in their own space. I treat every home with respect and stick to each pet’s usual schedule and owners requests, whether that’s feeding, medications, litter care, or walks. I’m trained to give medications and I always take my time to make sure everything is done correctly and calmly. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet behind, so I make sure to send updates, photos, and notes after visits. My goal is to keep pets relaxed and happy while giving pet parents peace of mind, knowing their furry family member is in caring hands.

About: Hii, I’m currently a service member but also an animal lover. I come from a family that’s trained K9s for the police academy in Cuba. I have trained and baby sat all types of fur babies before joining the military and currently still am. I grew up with so many different breeds of dogs. I have also foster dogs while in the military and it was a joy finding their forever home. As of right now I am available weekdays after 1300 but can adjust my availability if I’m given 24 hour heads up. Available all day during the weekends. I live on the Army base in Fort Novosel. I have a spacious house and back yard that is fenced in. I have a Griffon mutt named Kobe and he’s only 2 yrs old. He’s the most friendliest and welcoming pup. He good with children, small dogs and big dogs. He loves cuddles and sharing his toys.

About: I have been around pets my whole life. From cats, mice, dogs and fish I have been around most types of pets. I started walking dogs at 12 years old and since then have taken care of cats and other animals. I do work full time, but i am able to take care of 1-2 pets a day. Let me know what you needs are so that way your furbaby is taken care of! I love my pets with everything I've got and being able to relay that love for other people's pets while they are away is a joy. My background in the vet field has served me well and am very adjustable and trainable in your pets routine.

About: I’ve had pets on my life, ranging from small to big. I have a 13 year-old rescue dog. I’ve had fish, rabbits, hamsters, a cat, a rat, lizards, and four dogs. Not all at once! Pets have always been a part of my family. I’d happily be temporary family to yours. I’ve just moved from California here to attend nursing school. I have two kids for half the week. I will have every other weekend and holiday available. I joined Rover for the flexibility and to be able to take care of some cool pet while I don’t have my kids. I will not tell you how I will care for your pet. I will listen and follow your instructions. Every pet like any child is so different. I’m here to make the experience specific and comfortable for them.

“I don't even know where to begin, but Jackie has been such an absolute BLESSING during a very tumultuous time where I have not been able to walk my dog, Sadie, due to having leg surgery and needing someone short notice. Never would I have thought that I would find my dog's godmother, but HERE WE ARE! Jackie is incredible with Sadie and Sadie is IN LOVE with Jackie. I used to work in vets myself and can feel Jackie's empathetic and beautiful nature when it comes to pets, and even my little demon hobbit cat loves her too and he is hard to please. Jackie is also aware of any inconsistencies with Sadie's behavior, potty breaks and has even checked for ticks as the spring gets nuts with those terrible creatures. We are going to be so sad that she won't be coming 3 times a day anymore, but Jackie has become an actual friend and Sadie and I plan to have visits. There is no way Sadie cannot be in Jackie's life and Jackie has expressed the same. We seriously love her so much and will still book with her when needed in the future. You could not be in better hands than with Jackie and I have trust issues lol. She is the VERY BEST <3”

About: I have three years of hands-on pet care experience and grew up around dogs my entire life. My bf and I have two dogs and all of my cousins have dogs, so I’ve been consistently involved in feeding, walking, playing, and supervising dogs of different breeds and personalities. I’m comfortable following specific routines, giving lots of attention, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m a college student which gives me a very flexible schedule. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to adjust my availability to meet each pet’s needs. I’m available on weekdays, evenings, and weekends, and I make sure pets get consistent attention, exercise, and care while their owners are away. I always prioritize a safe, calm, and clean environment for every pet in my care. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special needs. I make sure pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times, whether I’m caring for them in my home or in the client’s home. I respect each household, keep spaces tidy, and focus on building trust so both pets and owners feel confident and at ease.

About: Hi! I’m Christina, and I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I’ve had experience caring for pets of all different personalities, sizes, and needs. From my own pets to caring for family, friends’, and other people’s animals, I genuinely love getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care!

Whether it’s going for a long walk, exploring a new trail, playing outside, or simply getting some fresh air together, I’m always excited to make exercise and adventure part of your pet’s day. I’m happy to match the activity level to each pet’s individual needs and personality. My goal is to give every pet plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your furry family member and make their time with me fun, active, and comfortable! I am currently a graduate student at George Mason University. Pet care will easily fit into my schedule as I only have classes Monday 7-10pm, Tuesday 4-7pm, and Thursday 7-10pm. Other prior commitments include babysitting every Tuesday from 8am-2pm. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to make your pet feel comfortable. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own.

“Oye is such a sweetheart. A clearly kind-hearted person and I definitely trust her with my baby. Having a dog walked you can trust goes a long way. Thanks, Oye!!!”
