About: Updated November 2022: I have recently moved to North Arlington. I previously had the luxury of having pups board at my house, but unfortunately I don’t have that ability here in Arlington. So now I’m hoping to care for pups in the comfort of their own homes! I have a small Frenchie I’d love to bring along, but can also leave her behind if needed! I’m currently working in the office Mondays & Tuesday, but work at home the rest of the week! Original Profile Details: Hello! My name is Matt! I have worked as the Assistant General Manager at Dogtopia Alexandria for 2 years. We were voted #1 store in North America in 2016 and 2017! I have tons of experience with all types of breeds and personalities, from outgoing, high energy pups to the more reserved and anxious pups. I will provide them with the exercise, care, support and love they need while their Pack Leaders are out of town! I currently have a sweet French Bulldog that will become your pups best friend! Growing up I had two German Shepherds and a Sheltie. I love dogs and am a big believer in “It’s a dog’s world, we just live in it.” I am currently working from home Wednesday through Fridays - so your pup will get a walk first thing in the morning, just after lunch and later in the evening at a minimum. If it’s a Monday or Tuesday, your pup will get an early morning walk, early afternoon then an evening walk at a minimum. I would require a meet and greet ahead of any booking. While out of town I will provide daily updates and as many pictures as I can!

About: I’ve cared for many animals over the years, from my own to beloved pets of friends and other family. I grew up caring for both cats and dogs, and have experience with senior pups who have limited mobility. My schedule is relatively flexible, as I currently work from home. I am available at a variety of hours for drop ins and walks across all 7 days of the week. Your pets’ safety is my priority! I care for your pets as if they were my own. If possible, I would love to have detailed instructions for exactly how to keep up with your pets - I want to make sure that your pets (and you!) are comfortable with my services and that all your rules are followed to keep them safest and happiest.

“Our dog loves Sienna and she gets long, enthusiastic walks out of him. Sienna is consistent, responsive, professional and has a sincere enthusiasm for dogs that they respond to.”


“Katie was great! She took great care of my dog Zara taking her out for walks while I was at work, sending pictures, and giving her lots of attention. I will definitely book with her again!”


“Gabriella takes unbelievable care of my dog and takes pictures of their walks together. She will also alert you to anything that she might’ve observed like she did when my dogs stomach wasn’t feeling to good. I highly recommend Gabriella for whatever needs your dog may need”


“An absolute dog whisperer! Julia has been amazing with our dog Banx who was from a rescue and very anxious with strangers. He warmed up to her immediately and is so excited to see her every morning! We are thrilled to be working with her!”


“We love booking overnights with Emma! She is so communicative and responsible, and we know our dog loves her! She goes out of her way to make sure he is well cared for, especially in this heat!”


“Phoebe was very communicative and was great with Dax. He loved her instantly!”


About: I bring a lifetime of pet care and genuine love for rescue animals. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, and today I’m “mum” to Stewie (a spirited rescue cat) and Cora (a lovable Maltese mix rescue). Over the years I’ve: - Trained energetic puppies with positive-reinforcement techniques - Provided gentle, attentive care for senior dogs (medication reminders, slow walks, extra cuddles) - Walked dogs of every size and even “cat-walked” adventurous felines - Offered reliable overnight care in my home as well as at the pet parents' home, for complete peace of mind. Whether your furry friend is a curious pup, a dignified senior, or somewhere in between, I’ll tailor my approach to meet their needs, and would be honored to care for your fur babies as if they were my own. I’m completely flexible and can fit pet care into any part of my day or week. Whether it’s an early-morning walk, a midday check-in for feeding or potty breaks, or a longer afternoon outing, I’ll work around your schedule. Evenings and weekends are wide open for playtime, training sessions, or cozy cuddle time, and I’m happy to step in on short notice whenever your pet needs me. In Your Home: - Follow Their Routine: I stick to your pet’s feeding, exercise, and medication schedules exactly as you’ve outlined. - Comfort & Safety: I secure doors/windows, remove hazards, and keep their favorite beds, toys, and litter boxes right where they’re used to them. - Play & Attention: Whether it’s a walk around the block, a game of fetch, or cuddle time on the couch, I give your pet focused interaction. - Home Care: I’ll bring in mail, rotate lights, and water plants so your home looks lived-in and secure while you’re away. In My Home: - Dedicated Pet Suite: I’ve set up a quiet, pet-proof room with comfy bedding, toys, and easy access to food, water, and a litter tray. - Resident Cat Introduction: My cat Stewie is gentle and curious, if you’d like, I’ll do a slow, supervised intro so your pet feels comfortable (or I can keep them separate if preferred). - Structured Routine: I maintain consistent feeding times, potty breaks, walks, and nap periods to mirror their usual schedule. - Emergency Ready: Emergency vet contacts, and a “go bag” with leashes and carriers are always at hand. In both settings, I send regular photo/text updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and loved :).

Emily has been a great dog walker I have used multiple times! She is very responsive and does great with my dog Toby! Would definitely recommend!

Elianna was great! Very communicative, friendly, and clearly loves dogs. Our dog came back happy and tired, will definitely book again!

Anne did a wonderful job walking my dog, Greyson. She provided detailed updates and pictures after each walk and was really sweet and caring when interacting with Greyson. I’d highly recommend her and will definitely book her again.

Atin has been such a blessing to our family and especially our pup Solace! She is timely in communication, flexible with our dynamic schedule and takes great care of our sweet pup. We feel very comfortable with her taking Solace on walks from our home. We highly recommend Atin!
