Wayne can care for
Availability
I’m a private tutor based in Arlington, and pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I mostly tutor in the evenings and on weekends, which gives me strong daytime flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with pets. I serve both DC and Northern Virginia and make sure each pet gets dependable care, attention, and affection built into my schedule.

About Wayne P.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely—feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and preferred routines—while keeping the space clean and secure. I provide regular updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing. In my home, pets have a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise based on their energy level. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with different temperaments, so I make sure each pet feels relaxed and well cared for.
Information Wayne P. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about your pet’s routine, temperament, and any special needs ahead of time. This includes feeding schedules, medications, energy level, and how they typically interact with people or other animals. It’s also helpful to know about any triggers, anxieties, or behaviors (like leash pulling, separation anxiety, or reactivity) so I can plan accordingly. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable experience that matches what your pet is used to, so the more details you can share, the better I can care for them.
A typical day
I’ve been around animals my entire life and have several years of hands-on experience as a dog walker and pet sitter. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from high-energy puppies to older pets that need a slower, more patient approach. With over 50 five-star reviews on Rover, I’ve built a strong track record of being reliable, attentive, and easy to work with. My background as a special needs tutor has also made me especially patient and detail-oriented, which helps when working with pets that need extra care, structure, or reassurance. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, long walks, and adapting to each pet’s individual ne

Pet care experience
I am a private tutor who has always had pets. I love dogs and cats and I have availability with my career to provide other families pets with care and affection. I have experience as a dog walker and pet sitter and I am flexible and responsible. I have a safe and friendly apartment in NW DC and I truly enjoy the company of pups of all ages, sizes, and levels of energy. I have training as a special needs tutor and I am a very patient and responsible person who has lived in the DC area for two years. I am from Jacksonville Florida and I have a degree in philosophy from the University of Florida. I work mostly in the evenings and on weekends with my students of various ages. This allows me to work with pets in and around my student schedule.
Reviews
Wayne was outstanding with my girls! He gave regular updates and allowed me the peace of mind that my babies were in good hands while I was away. Will definitely book again.
Wayne was terrific! Very communicative and sent photo updates which were much appreciated. Will definitely book again!
Wayne took excellent care of our dogs! Our boys always have a great time with him.
Wayne was absolutely the best Dogsitter I’ve ever used. He went above and beyond, taking her to the vet to get a health certificate. Pictures and updates every day. Put all my mail away. Left the apt spotless. He made me feel like my dog was loved and cared for the entire time.
