Dog Walking in Lyon Park, Arlington, VA

About: I grew up with a family dog and later on a family cat. I've had my own two large, energetic dogs for 12 and 10 years, respectively. I have experience dealing with smaller dogs and larger dogs, walking and dropping in on friends' and relatives' dogs when they travel. And extensive cat sitting experience for up to 4 weeks at a time as friends had extended travel plans. I currently have a hybrid work schedule, allowing me flexibility for lunch time walks and drop ins, and my travel is currently limited outside of a few holiday trips. I have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings as my schedule is not busy. I strive to make every pet as comfortable as possible and as much at ease as possible with every interaction in their homes. I can crate dogs as needed and comfort any anxious pets.

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.

About: I provide reliable, attentive care with a calm, patient approach. I’m detail-oriented, great with both energetic and shy pets, and experienced in puppy basics and senior pet needs. Pet care will fit easily into my routine because I’ll have a very open and flexible schedule. I’ll have plenty of time to focus on each pet, provide consistent attention, and accommodate visits throughout the day, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I provide attentive, safe, and loving care whether in my home or a client’s. I follow each pet’s routine for feeding, playtime, and rest, give plenty of attention and affection, and maintain a clean, comfortable environment. I’m comfortable administering medications, handling special needs, and ensuring pets feel calm and happy in familiar or new surroundings.

“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!”

“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. 🙏🙏🙏”

“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.”
