Dog Walking Philomont

About: I have taken care of animals all my life. For the last 3 years I have worked professionally as a pet sitter. My services include, feeding, walking/exercising, administering medications (orally and subcutaneously), and entertaining. I have worked with dogs of all sizes, cats, birds, chickens, rabbits, frogs, turtles, snakes, and pet rodents. I am available Monday through Friday from 8AM to 5PM. I can work weekends and after hours (before 8AM or after 5PM) on a case-by-case basis. My care plan for your pet will be based exclusively on your expectations. I am happy to schedule an in-person Meet & Greet, where we can go over your pet's routine in detail.

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.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, patient, and experienced pet lover who treats every animal like family. Whether your pet is high-energy and playful or calm and cuddly, I adjust to their personality and needs to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, as well as cats and other small pets. I’m comfortable with administering medications, sticking to specific feeding schedules, long walks, crate training, senior care, and puppy routines. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. You can expect: • Plenty of exercise and playtime • Consistent routines • Clean food and water bowls • Lots of affection and attention • Regular photo and video updates I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I communicate clearly and promptly so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. I’d love to meet you and your pet! Feel free to reach out with any questions — I’m happy to schedule a meet-and-greet to make sure it’s a perfect fit. I’m currently working part time and am available for drop ins, walks and cuddles Thursday - Sundays - I am happy to overnight board as well I have a fenced yard with 3 acres and beautiful country roads for strolling and spending quality time with your pup - we currently do not have pets

“Noah has been great with our golden retriever puppy! He is always on time and our pup clearly loves his time with him. Would highly recommend him!”

About: I’ve been solely in change of taking care of my family’s dogs since 2020 when I raised my dog over covid, I have also fed and let out neighborhood dogs when needed. I’m working part time at a restaurant while I’m home from college this summer so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your dog! I will not differ from your instructions unless necessary but when necessary I can act quickly to adjust on my feet. I know that dogs are unpredictable so I am prepared for whatever comes.

“Caroline is so sweet. She always leaves informative comments on Bluebells Rover Card each day about how well Bluebell acted during her walk and is so quick to reply to any comments or concerns. I would highly recommend Caroline for any pet sitting needs!”

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life, always living in a home with three or more dogs and at least two cats. At one point, my family also bred Great Danes, which gave me experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and needs. Because of this background, I am very compassionate toward animals and am eager to become more involved in working with them. Im looking to save money for college so as much work as possible is helpful! I will be communicative and let you know if it fits my schedule! at home, I have a large front yard as well as a fenced in back yard. I have 3 dogs however I would more than likely keep your pet away from my animals just to be safe and respectful. I will be able to go on long walks with your animals and give them a great experience!

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.

“Grace has been wonderful! On time, sent pictures everyday, she was professional and understands animals. She asked questions on our initial meeting that I forgot to address. My dog loved her. I would highly recommend her.”

“Addison did so good with Ollie! I adopted Ollie last weekend from the shelter & he has severe separation anxiety. Addison was patient with him and came over last minute. She also cleaned up a poo & pee accident the second time she came over with no issues. Ollie seemed to love her. Would request her again!”

About: I started taking care of neighbors' and friends' dogs, cats, fish, hamsters and birds when I was 14 years old. I love animals and wildlife of all kinds. I have been a cat and dog mom for 28 years and have had 2 leash and dog-reactive dogs (strong, 60 pound+ mutt and pit bull) so I am experienced in dealing with these situations. I have strong situational awareness with my head on a swivel when walking dogs. My senior kitty required specialized medical care at the end of her life with daily prescription medication and subcutaneous fluids. I have volunteered as a dog walker and cat snuggler at Friends of Homeless Animals rescue. I have been a social worker for 30 years and am nearing retirement from full-time employment. I would love to use my love of animals to continue working as a pet-sitter and dog walker. I am very organized, detail-oriented and will care for your pet as I care for my own. I would love to meet you and your pets to see how I can be of service. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday but am retiring at the end of September. My weekends are currently free. I have some flexibility in my weekday schedule so I may be available on a case-by-case basis for weekday dog walks that are in western Loudoun County and within a 10 minute drive of my home. I will care for your pet in your home so that they will be the most comfortable. I am available for overnight stays to keep your pet company and to provide close supervision, lots of TLC, food, water, potty breaks and anything else you may need. I am a non-smoker and non-drinker. I am very detail-oriented, responsible and dependable. As a bit of an overprotective dog mom, I have needed to entrust my dog's care to a pet sitter. My dog is my world. So I know just how valuable trust, dependability and attention to detail are. What matters to you matters to me. I will follow your instructions down to the smallest detail. I will be diligent in communicating with you, sending regular updates and photos of your pet so that you know they are safe and happy in my care.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10 years old and have years of hands on experience caring for animals. I currently work at a kennel where I care for all kinds of dogs, with specialized experience in administering medication, cleaning and bathing, and safe, confident handling. In addition to dogs and cats, I also have experience caring for exotic pets, including birds and reptiles. I am currently working part-time, so I am available to drop in during most hours every day of the week. My flexible schedule allows me to easily accommodate last-minute requests, midday walks, or specific feeding times to ensure your pet stays perfectly on track with their usual routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and stress free. I make sure all feeding, walks, playtime, and litter box or cleanup needs are handled carefully, and I closely monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health. I also administer medications when needed and keep the home clean and secure, providing updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.

“Kristen is really excellent with Smarty, Tatu and Umbrella. She easily walked them all together! They took to her right away. Also Kristen is professional, courteous, and absolutely reliable. So glad I found her!”

About: Hi! I am a recent college graduate who’s moved back to the area. I have shelter volunteer experience and have had several positive experiences on this app doing in-house and overnight dogsitting. I got my first dog eight years ago in high school and he’s the light of my life! I love hanging out with all types of dogs regardless of breed or energy level. I don't mind taking care of dogs who are timid or defensive- I know how to keep boundaries with more nervous animals. Hablo español e inglés :) I am very flexible through august of this summer as I seek a new teaching job for the school year :-) I am not currently working so I can drive anywhere in town any day of the week. When I come to the house, I always make sure waters are full before I leave and gates are closed/secured. I'm fairly athletic, so I'm cool with taking long walks and being active with them in the yard- I'll match the energy level of your pet.

About: I have been in the pet sitting business for 4 years now! I have dog sat breeds in size from Greyhounds to chihuahuas. I can administer medicine, take your pets for rides, and any other routine you have with them! My main goal is trying to continue your pets routines while you’re away! I do pet sitting full time, so your fur baby is my top priority. I’m very flexible with drop in visits, and meet and greets. I like to dog sit in the owners home because your pet is comfortable in this environment. My biggest goal is to keep your pet happy and comfortable! Leashes are always used, and if I have any questions about anything i’ll send a quick text to double check with you to be safe!

About: Ever since I was born my family has had 2-3 dogs in the home. Have had a golden retriever every type of lab and a corgi. Also dog sit my sisters pitbull. Every weekday I’m free until 5-6. Just graduated with a masters degree in accounting and waiting to start work in public accounting in the fall. I love taking dogs for walks as I know the smells are very important for them. I enjoy playing with them as well they deserve all the love.

“Jes provides exceptional services and is extremely thoughtful and considerate when working with my dog. I sincerely appreciate his professionalism and caring attitude! Dogs are the best character judges and mine approves! Thank you!”
