Dog Walking Paeonian Springs

About: My family has raised goats and chickens since I was around 10, and have had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember! I've grown up around animals my whole life and I am accustomed to caring for goats, chickens, dogs, and cats! I'm currently home in Northern Virginia from college for the summer, so I have plenty of time to play with and care for all of your animals!! I have a fenced in yard for dogs as well as plenty of space to take them for walks! As well, I have litter boxes/safety measures set up for my 4 cats. I have 8 goats and 13 chickens so I'm used to making sure the outdoor animals are safe from predators and locked safely into their houses at night.

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and have years of experience as a veterinary assistant and shelter aide. From giving medications to walking dogs of any size, I’m comfortable with it all. I’m especially patient with shy or skittish dogs and always help ensure they feel safe and loved. I'm also a distance runner with lots of experience running dogs, so if you have a high-energy pup that needs a good jog, I'd be more than happy to do that!! I'm entirely self-employed, so my schedule is quite flexible! I’m happy to adjust my schedule when needed to make sure your pets get the care and attention they deserve :) When I visit your home, I treat your pets and space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I make sure doors and gates are secure, follow all care instructions closely, and keep a careful eye on your fur baby during walks or visits. Their safety and comfort always come first, and I do my best to keep their routine familiar so they feel at ease while you’re away.

“Our lil Bubba loved his walks with Lea and we felt at peace leaving our home and our pup to her care. She left us adorable notes at each visit to tell us details about the walk and was kind, caring and punctual. We will definitely be requesting her services again.”

About: Have only had 9 months total of my life without a dog or a pack of them by my side. Your fur baby will be fostered as one of my own; their walk, run, or potty break is all about them! With guidance from you, we will move at their pace. If they want to go for a run... then we run! If they prefer to walk tree to tree and smell every flower, that's fine too! I am available early mornings and mid-days during the week. I also have availability nightly to check on the pups and make sure they're ready for bed. I look forward to meeting the needs of your family, if it be walking or running the dogs, or making sure they are comfortable in your home, just let me know. I am fortunate enough to have a remote role, so my schedule is usually set to my own dog's needs. I am by no means a gym rat or a marathon runner. Yet that doesn't stop me from getting in usually 2-6 miles a day, both walking and running. While my dog is crate trained, it would be great if yours is as well, for those few errands that may take me away for up to 4 hours at a time (a busy week would be 3 half days in the office)

“Tobie seemed to have loved his walk! She was very punctual and showed up right on time”

Theresa H.

“Kally was an absolute lifesaver! She was able to accommodate us at the last minute due to a family emergency, and I couldn’t be more grateful. My pup, Charlie, is a 10-month-old, 54-pound ball of energy who gets the zoomies every 20 minutes, and Kally handled him like a pro. Charlie is also anxious around strangers, but he was instantly comfortable with Kally and happy to go out with her. She demonstrated incredible patience, warmth, and understanding, which is exactly what he needs as he continues his training. I know how challenging it can be to manage such a high-energy pup, but Kally made it look effortless. I would absolutely hire her again in a heartbeat!”

“Ximena is an excellent dog walker! She is incredibly reliable, always on time, and my dog absolutely adores her. I always come home to a happy and tired pup, which is exactly what I'm looking for. Highly recommend!”

About: You want the best for your pup and we do too! We have a large fenced yard which allows for lots of potty breaks and playtime. We live a few miles from a dog park, and are a big outdoor family. We are firmly a no bed/furniture family, and hope your dog will be happy with his/her own bed and/or crate. My husband and I both work from home, so there are plenty of potty breaks throughout the day, as well as 2x daily walks. We are happy to accommodate your dog whether he/she is crate-trained, or just needs to be in a room while we're away. We look forward to having your dog come and stay with us!! We both work from home and have flexibility. We currently do not have any pets so your pup can settle in as if it was home-2 We are a small family with a fenced yard and relaxed environment. A loving family with lots of experience with small and large pets; we’ll become their second home!

“Kaitlyn really helped me out when I went on a last minute vacation. My dad was home but couldn't take him on a long walk. She allowed me to visit the beach for the first time in 10 years. Love her”

About: I took care of my black lab for 8 years, including feeding, giving medications, bathing and walking. I raised my cat from 6 weeks forward, cleaning litter boxes, feeding, giving attention to/playing with, and giving any medicines needed. I currently have a 4 and 5 year old cat. I also regularly volunteered at the cat Cafe in Murfreesboro, TN before I relocated to the area. There I was responsible for playing with the cats, feeding them and cleaning litter boxes. I have worked at an animal hospital where I have gained knowledge about medical situations and some medication giving. I am also a professional toy fixer! I am currently in between jobs so I do have mostly open availability until this changes or if I have to block some time off for an interview. I am willing to stay as long as needed to keep your furbabies happy and make sure they are fully taken care of. Being sure to leave your home exactly how it was when I arrived.

“Ryan did a fantastic job with our dog, Marley! She was very professional and immediately showed loving confidence in working with animals. Also, she did a wonderful job in quickly learning about our dog's routines and behaviors. I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy person to watch their pet!”

About: I have two fur babies that I love and care for very much! My husband and I are constantly on the go walking, running and playing with our 4 year old lab but also enjoy relaxing and snuggling up with our 6 year old cat. I grew up with dogs and cats in the family and have helped care for many friends' pets while they were away. I know how stressful it is to leave your animal in the care of another person so I promise to provide a safe and loving environment for your animal at all times. Please feel free to message me if you have any other questions or concerns! Looking forward to getting to know you and your furry babies! I’m currently a stay at home mom to my 2 year old daughter so I would be available for drop in services throughout the week and on weekends! I have a fully fenced in back yard and our dog is fully crate trained so I’m comfortable crating a dog if necessary. I’m comfortable using harnesses and retractable leashes when walking as my dog has used them.

About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life, and I honestly cannot imagine a home without paws in it. Whether you have a high-energy pup who needs to burn off some steam or a cozy kitty who prefers cuddles and quiet companionship, I’ve got you covered! Currently, my husband and I share our home with two incredibly energetic and lovable Golden Retrievers, Brady and Gimli. My husband jokes that he’s third in line for my affection. Honestly, some days he might be right! Our home is a place of constant joy, play, and comfort, and we would absolutely love to welcome your furry family member into our circle.
