Dog Walking McLean

“Joon was great with Luna, who is a very sweet but timid dog especially since this was her first time being walked by someone else without my presence. Joon was calm, confident, and caring and I will 100% use him again.”

About: I have pet sat for my neighbors since I was 15 years old, professionally so for a collective 8 years. (from childhood to today totalling 21 years) I grew up with at least one dog in my parents household, loved both our family dogs through their senior years and beyond. I am pet cpr/ first aide certified, currently own a 9 year old Grey Domestic short hair cat, Thor, and my 28 year old horse, Riley. I am looking to head back to school for veterinary medicine with focus on large animal sports medicine/orthopedics. Eventually mixed practice too. In the horse world, I have 33 years under my belt, with my godmother introducing me at age 3. I am passionate about pet care, large and small. Most experience with cats, dogs, and horses and looking to expand. From the toy breeds of canine, to the extra large goofs, I enjoy caring for your loved ones as if they were my own. Shy guys? No problem! I take my time letting them get to know me without offense. Need a little extra help on training homework from your professional training team? Walk me through and I am more than happy to continue with their routine. I'm a softie for seniors. Looking forward to meeting you all and your pets! Available for walks, pop ins now! Currently in the process of signing up to renew my pet cpr and first aid certification. And I hope to start vet med prerequisites online at NoVA Community College. The later I am able to balance with all the attention on your pets. My neighborhood is nearby Scott's Run, Great Falls Park and Riverbend Park here in McLean and Geat Falls, Virginia. If ok with pet parents, I can take them for a walk (one at a time) during in home boarding. We don't have a fenced yard but our neighborhood offers plenty of walk routes. At client's home, I try to keep our walks with in the neighborhood and no socializing due to safety, even if your pup knows a neighbor's pup.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have owned dogs in the past, so I understand the different stages of a dog’s life, from puppyhood to their senior years. I know that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I believe in giving them the patience, attention, and care they deserve. As a cat mom of three, I also have plenty of experience caring for pets with different temperaments and grooming needs. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, meals, or extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your fur baby like my own! I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available for pet care throughout the day. I’m able to provide plenty of attention, check-ins, and companionship for your pets while you’re away. I’m also flexible with scheduling and happy to work with you to find a routine that best fits your pet’s needs. I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I follow their usual routines for feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, and any other specific care they need. Since I work remotely, I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur babies, so I make sure to follow all care instructions, respect your home, and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away!

About: Ever since I adopted my 5 year old son Lentil he has been the joy and light of my life. I have learned so much about what goes into giving a dog a healthy, fun, loving fulfilling life. More importantly I pour all the love I have into everything I have to give to Lentil, whether it’s in the meals I prepare for him everyday, the car rides I take him on, our trips to the park where we play fetch and roll in the grass or our snuggle sessions before bed at the end of our long days. I will give your fur babies the same love, attention and quality of care that I give my very own lentil and treat them just like family. Given that I have Lentil, pet care is a part of my daily life, everything I do revolves around it. I adjust my other life activities to fit in to Lentil’s schedule that takes priority so that I can cater to Lentil’s every need in life first and then address all other responsibilities. In terms of availability for drop ins and walks I am available for the 6am-11 am window, the 11am-3pm window and the 3pm-10pm window. In terms of house sitting at your house, I am available everyday of the week unless booked by a rover client. In your home I will take into account everything made available to take great care of your fur baby. What toys are available? When are certain toys used at what part of the day? Are some more fitting for more active play while others are more catered to more mellow play? Do you have a fenced in back yard or do we need to go to a dog park? How often does your dog like to step out for fresh air/walks and how long should these walks be? Is your dog one that likes to be close contact or one that likes to show affection from afar and enjoys their personal space? Once your fur baby is in my care I will gather all of the info I need to make sure I can give the best care I can give catered to your dog’s unique temperament/needs and personality.

“Jessica took care of our Bruno again by giving him a daily walk while we were out of town. We can tell he loves his walks with her and we know he is in good care with her. She gave him his daily supplements before his walks and we enjoyed seeing pictures from each walk with quick recap notes.”

“Roshni was such a great dog walker for my beagle, Willie! She was very friendly and very quick to respond from the time of booking through the week of the appointment. Your dog will be in great hands with Roshni.”

“Ihana was excellent. She was on time every day. She left details of the walk for me. My dog seemed much calmer when I got home. I will definitely use her in the future.”

About: I previously owned a wonderful dog named Ollie, who taught me just how important love, patience, and routine are when it comes to pet care. Although I no longer have a dog of my own, I miss having them around and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I am readily available to give your dog long walks, playtime, or simply lots of attention and cuddles. I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I'll always treat your pet as if they were my own. I have a fenced yard and have gates that I can setup inside the house if need be. I will follow any instructions given for the care of your pet.

“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!”

About: I have experience with all kinds of situations when it comes to pets. I’ve sat for dogs ranging from 10-90+lbs, cared for senior and special needs animals, and watched up to 9 pets at a time! No matter the size, care needs, or number of animals, I can handle it. I am currently a full time college student at Marymount University with classes Monday-Thursday, so I am currently only offering pet sitting from Friday-Sunday or on holidays and breaks. When I stay at your home, I make sure to keep the environment clean and free of hazards for your pets. I make sure never to let pets get into anything they’re not supposed to and I go out of my way to make sure that not only is the environment safe, but your pet feels safe and happy.

“Nela is extremely responsible. She shows up on time and our dog is so excited to go on her walks. I would definitely recommend Nela.”

“As always Jane does a great job with Baxter, our 85 pound doodle. She is very responsive and sends pictures from the walk. Highly recommend.”

Karen R.

“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!”
