Dog Walking in Lyon Village, Arlington, VA

About: Hi! My husband, Chris, and I would love to take care of your precious pets! I have spent my whole life around animals and have had my own pets at home for the past 20 years. If you leave your pets with us, you can rest assured that they'll be happy and well cared for while you're away. I have extensive experience with many breeds, sizes, and ages of dogs and cats. I have always trained my own pets and they are well-behaved. We love going on nice walks with dogs, or taking them to a park if your pet prefers it. Your pet will get as much exercise as they want while they're in our care! We foster and volunteer often for several animal rescues in the area, and have extensive experience with newborns, puppies, seniors, reactive, and high-maintenance pets. We are both very comfortable administering all types of medications. My husband and I are both on sabbatical, so we are available 24/7 for your pets! Whether in our home or yours, we will be with your pets without any work-related distractions. Our house has a fully fenced good size yard in a quiet neighborhood. While with us, your dog will get to go outside as often as they like, and will get daily walks also! We have tons of dog toys inside to play with when not in the yard.

About: Dogs my entire life. Work from home 24/7 so will always be around. Have a bernedoodle and labradoodle who love other dogs. At least 5 walks a day and all the treats. Since I work from home, I normally walk the dogs at 8am, 10am, 1pm, 5pm, and 10pm. Can adjust more or less or an independent walk depending on you needs. I'm always around regardless when I'm watching someone else's pet. 5 walks a day, can do bathing - I don't wash head or ears - I don't risk ear infection due to water getting in. Have a professional pet drying and pet bathing set up in my own home. Dog walks are outside, I keep on the leash and we have a small park and walking trail I use - I prefer to always keep on the leash given the high squirrel and chipmunk population.

“Stephanie had done a wonderful job walking my dog, Mikey! She was very communicative and left great notes and pictures during his walks. He can be energetic, but she really handled his wild side without any problem. I could tell that she has a real love for dogs and felt like she was taking care of Mikey the way she would her own pup.”

“Thank you for the tpy for Lucy. She loves it!”

“Rebekah goes above and beyond as a dog walker! A natural with my pup, always on time, willing to work with my schedule, would definitely recommend to a friend!”

“Responsive and came to walk the pup on short notice! Even in the rain!”

“Isabel was always on time, gave great updates, and took my dog, Doc, out on nice long walks every day while I was in the office - she went above and beyond! I would definitely recommend booking with her”

“Iryna was fantastic. She was great at communicating, and Waffles had a great time with her. I never thought I would need a dog walker, but I am injured, and she was a lifesaver.”

“Jose was great. He came in a torrential downpour to meet Indie the night before he'd be walking her the first time. The next day, he walked her as far as she would go (she can be stubborn the first few times with a new walker) and then spent the remainder of the time playing in the yard with her, which she loves. I will definitely ask for his help again.”

“Dani is a wonderful walker for my pup! She was patient and gentle with her as they got to know each other, energetic during their walks, and loving during their visits - providing cuddles, treats & toy play time. I am looking forward to using Dani for many walks to come!”

“Thank you again I appreciate the help!”

“Erica was wonderful! We needed a last-minute walker and she was super responsive, and even ended up walking Captain the next day, too. He had so much fun and looked happy in the pictures she took :)”

“William really helped me out when I had to head out of town for the week. I had someone to watch Roxi but need daily walks. William took Roxi, who is a strong girl, on vigorous walks. Just what Roxi needed!”

“Arrived on time. Very caring and professional.”

“Neil has a wonderful dog named Phoebe who he treats like his child. She is loved, pampered, well-groomed and very well-trained. They enjoy long walks all over the city. He will take great care of your pet.”

“Rachel is a very responsible and loving caretaker. Not only has she owned lots of animals, but she has help taken care of of many animals for friends or family. she is very diligent and making sure the animal has everything that is needed and is very careful with every step she takes.”

“Simply AMAZING! I was overhearing in my room and she didn’t know I was home. When she came in to pick up my pup for a walk she was patient and made sure he had water in his bowl before the walk so when he comes back he can have water. She goes over and beyond and I am so grateful!”

“Ashley is great! Communicative, punctual, and able to handle my friendly but slightly rowdy lab mix”

“I have nothing but great things to say about Mikaela! She was reliable, professional, and caring. Our dog warmed up to her immediately and she took great care of him. I will definitely be re-booking with Mikaela.”
