Safety, trust & environment

My apartment is very spacious and clean with plenty of sunlight, along with an upstairs and private fenced in rooftop for your dog to stay active and spend as much time in the outdoors as they’d like. I also have a courtyard outside my apartment, and live on a quiet street in a safe neighborhood which is a popular area for dog walkers. I also live a block away from a dog park!

Information Arvand G. would like to know about your pet

I've taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes, so as long as your pup is alright with the occasional treats and lots of pets then I'm ready to watch them!

A typical day

As a nature lover who enjoys staying active, I love spending time outside with the dogs I'm watching! Walks in the park, going on jogs, playing fetch and spending some time in the dog park are all activities I’m happy to spend time doing with your dog.

Arvand G.'s Neighborhood

Dog lover beyond belief!

Pet care experience

I’ve been around dogs my entire life! From my family dog, to volunteering at shelters, and dog sitting for years, caring for dogs has always been a part of my life. Knowing that your dog is well taken care of, safe, and comfortable gives me peace of mind, as I know that is what I would want from a sitter! Providing your dog(s) with a safe and comfortable walk or stay is my biggest priority, and I will be sure to send plenty of updates and keep open communication with you (+ as a photographer I’d love to take some photos of your pups to share!). My apartment is spacious with plenty of sunlight and outdoor space, and has been loved by dogs of all kinds that visit! I’d love to be able to take care of your pup, so please don’t hesitate to reach out :)

Arvand was punctual/had good communication about entering the apartment while we were away for a beach trip. Thanks for your help would absolutely hire you again for our next trip.

Arvand is clearly passionate about dogs. He served as our primary walker when we lived in the DC area. Once, he took care of our pitty for 2 weeks and taught her how to do a “kip-pup” while we were away. Would definitely recommend him to any current or prospective owners of doggos. - David

Arvand is an excellent and courteous professional who I’ve trusted to take care of my yellow lab Sadie on many occasions. I always come back to see Sadie healthy and happy, and she’s usually more excited to see Arvand than myself! I would recommend Arvand to anyone looking for a professional sitter or walker.
