Dog Walking in Lyon Park, Arlington, VA

“Elly has been the best! She does recurring weekly walks for my pup, Winston. Always on time, leaves updates and lots of pictures. My pup is not the most active/doesn’t always want to walk but she always makes sure he gets out to pee even when he is being stubborn. Going back into the office has been a breeze due to Elly - thank you!!!”

“Grace was wonderful! She walked the herd (2 dogs, one 145lbs, the other 94lbs) for 1 hr each day! My dogs are not easy to walk, but Grace was up for the challenge. She is punctual and kind. We will hire her again (if she is willing to come back ;) )”

About: Back in my college days, I worked in a dog daycare with dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes. Before Rover, I mostly pet sat for my friends and family. In addition, I have 14 of experience caring for my own dogs. I understand the struggles that come with leaving your pet with a stranger so please rest assured that your fur baby will be well taken care of. I will always treat your fur baby with lots of love and kindness and adhere to your instructions to the best of my ability. I currently work a 9-5 at a hospital. I have the flexibility to work from home 3x a week. In addition, I am available most weekends and holidays. It is always helpful to have written instructions on how to care for your pet. For example, activities they enjoy most, things they absolutely hate, or undesirable behaviors to look for. Let me know their daily routines so I can do my best to make they feel like they’re with family and not just some stranger.

“I highly recommend Eva for their exceptional care of Django. Their genuine love for animals shines through, and Django always comes back happy. Grateful for their fantastic service!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since I was 3 years old and love taking care of animals. I’ve taken care of family friends’ pets when they’ve gone out of town when I was in high school and college as well. I’m a nurse and I’m looking to hang out with some pets on my off days! My schedule varies from week to week, so one time bookings or a flexible schedule would be best for me! I won’t be boarding other pets because I have two cats of my own, but I can follow schedules required for your pet in your home and ensure their best safety.

“Dominique had great communication with me about our dog Lincoln. He’s got a positive and professional demeanor. Our dog is a big boy (125 lbs ) and Dominique handled him with ease. Lincoln instantly connected with Dominique, not something he always does with strangers. Dominique most definitely has a way with dogs. His interaction and care was as if Lincoln was his own pet. Dominique’s communication with me was great up to meeting and during the interaction with our boy. Very amicable person. I will use Dominque again.”

About: Hey guys! I’m here working on getting my dental degree recognized. I moved to the U.S. about 8 months ago. I don’t have much experience with dogs yet, but I’m super eager to learn — I believe I can communicate well with them, so I have no doubt I’ll pick it up quickly. I’m originally from Turkey and had to leave my cat behind, so I really miss spending time with animals. I’m genuinely ready to take dogs on walks and give them all the love and care they deserve. Right now, I’m working as a dental assistant, but I’m looking for a side job where I can earn some extra money and spend time with animals I truly care about. I currently work weekdays from 7:30 AM to 4 PM, except on Wednesdays. I’m free after 5 PM. I normally don’t work on weekends, except for the first Saturday of every month, when I work from 7:30 AM to 2 PM. There are many beautiful places around my home where I can take dogs for walks. If they like to sleep, we can nap together, or if they like to run, we can run together.🤗

“Andrew is a great sitter! He was on time and accommodating to my needs. He also treated Henny really well”

Adriana R.

“Fantastic, reliable, clear communicator! Mishka loved him, and my roommate was so relieved to know she would be coming home after work to a happy, comfortable dog rather than one who was crossing his little legs the whole day. Ethan was a great find! If he lived closer, I'd book him regularly, but he mentioned the commute would be tough in the long run. I highly recommend!”

Alexandra N.

“Sophie has amazing patience. Despite my dog’s reluctance to having his leash put on; Sophie went above and beyond with me on the phone for twenty minutes to lure him from under the bed. 🙏🙏🙏”

Ryan R.

“Cheryl is wonderful with Marshmallow.”

Kathleen M.

“Louisa was great with Buddy and very responsive. She sent good pics and notes after each walk. Highly recommended!”

Alex S.

“Lexi was great! This was our first Rover experience and Lexi took the time to come do a meet and greet prior to our first walk, which was great so she could meet our dog and chat through his quirks. :) She was very communicative, timely and left great notes and pics. Looking forward to booking with Lexi again soon!”

About: With 17 years of dedicated dog care experience, I've built my reputation on genuine love and reliable service for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I've been the trusted caregiver for friends, family, and long-term clients, many of whom have relied on my services for years - a testament to the quality care and peace of mind I provide. My commitment to animal welfare extends beyond paid services through my volunteer work at Friends of Homeless Animals, where I've gained valuable experience with dogs from diverse backgrounds and with varying needs. This shelter experience has enhanced my ability to read dog behavior and provide compassionate care for pets who may be anxious or require extra attention. I offer a unique advantage for working pet parents - I can bring well-behaved dogs to my office on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, ensuring your furry friend gets socialization and companionship throughout the day rather than being left alone. This office-friendly arrangement means your dog receives continuous care and attention during typical work hours. Whether your dog needs energetic play, gentle companionship, or specialized attention, my years of hands-on experience and deep understanding of canine behavior ensure your pet will receive loving, professional care tailored to their individual personality and needs. My office schedule (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays) works to your pet's advantage - well-behaved dogs are welcome to join me at work, providing them with socialization and ensuring they're never left alone during typical business hours. This means your dog gets constant companionship and supervision rather than being isolated. On my non-office days (Tuesdays and Fridays), I'm fully available for home-based care, walks, and dedicated one-on-one time. This schedule provides the perfect balance of social interaction and focused attention for your pet. In My Home: I provide a safe, dog-focused environment with no pets of my own, ensuring your dog receives undivided attention. Dogs have access to a securely fenced backyard for supervised play and exercise, giving them plenty of space to run and explore safely. When I'm working from home, well-behaved dogs can sit comfortably beside me, enjoying companionship and interaction throughout the day. For dogs who prefer structure or quiet time, I can provide crate space as needed - many dogs find crates comforting and familiar. I maintain consistent feeding schedules, provide fresh water, and ensure regular potty breaks and exercise. In Your Home: I offer in-home pet sitting to maintain your dog's familiar routine and environment. This includes following your established feeding schedule, medication routines, and exercise habits. I'll provide companionship, playtime, and ensure your home is secure. Your dog gets to stay in their comfortable surroundings with all their favorite toys and spots, reducing stress while you're away. Office Days (Mon/Wed/Fri): For well-socialized dogs, I can bring them to my pet-friendly office, providing continuous supervision and social interaction during work hours. This prevents isolation and gives your dog a change of scenery with constant companionship. My 17 years of experience means I adapt my care approach to each dog's individual personality, energy level, and comfort needs, whether that's active backyard play, quiet companionship, or maintaining their home routine.

“Rachelle is amazing! She does a great job with our dog Bo and he is always happy and tired out by the time we get home. I would highly recommend!”

“Naomi is excellent. She was always on time, spoke nicely to my dog, and did everything we asked her to do. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker.”
