“Thank you, Charlotte for taking good care of Lily!”

“Joon was great with Luna, who is a very sweet but timid dog especially since this was her first time being walked by someone else without my presence. Joon was calm, confident, and caring and I will 100% use him again.”

“Kaleigh was great as a dog walker for our energetic labrador for 5 days. Her communication was prompt and friendly. She was reliable and on time, and very flexible in terms of the when worked best for us. She was good with Rustan and he came back very happy from his walks. Would recommend.”

Sarah W.

“Tricia is a wonderful dog walker. She is very caring and and really focuses on each dog’s needs. One of our dogs had a seizure during his walk and she ensured he was comfortable and safe until we picked him up. Tricia is very pleasant and courteous. Highly recommend her.”

“Oluwatosin is a wonderful dog walker who always arrives on time, has a gentle and loving demeanor with our dogs demeanor. She will promptly tell us if our dog is having any issues, didn’t go to the bathroom, etc. Our dog loves being walked by her and anxiously waits by the window for her arrival. We will definitely recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy person for their fur ball.”

Rosa B.

“John always leave a cute picture after each walk. We can see how much he loves pets! Will definitely ask John again when we need someone to walk or watch Peanut!”

Barbara K.

“Nicole was great! She was very friendly and responsive. She seemed to genuinely enjoy her time with our dog. We are grateful he was in good hands!”

About: [NOTE: I was active on Rover before the star system was employed, so I have reviews, but no stars yet as I jump back in!] I'm Tom, based in Falls Church near the National Cemetery. I work from home as a consultant with a lot of flexibility during the week, so weekday middays are actually open rather than squeezed around something else. I'm looking after all kinds of dogs, from easy ones who just want their loop around the block to dogs who need a little more thought. My own dog is Buddy, a 70lb pittie who was very reactive towards people and animals. I've also fostered for Lost Dog and AARF in Baltimore, which meant a steady rotation of dogs showing up with almost no history, so you learn to read a dog quickly and adjust rather than run everyone through the same routine. Some of those fosters were reactive, on leash with other dogs or with strangers approaching, and a few were both. It's an area I am familiar with and I'm glad to take those dogs on. It also just made me a better walker generally. I pay attention to the small stuff, the ears and the pause, and I'd rather pick a calm route your dog actually enjoys than a scenic one that leaves them wound up. If your dog does better in a particular harness or with a specific setup, tell me and I'll use it! I used to pet sit here on Rover, and these days I stick to weekday walks and drop-ins close to home so I'm never rushing between neighborhoods. I've got a car, so rain doesn't change anything and I can get to a vet fast if I ever need to. I ask for a meet and greet for reactive dogs before every first booking. I want to meet your dog on their turf with you there, and hear how you read them, since nobody knows them better than you do! Non-reactive dogs can have a meet and greet too, but it isn't mandatory. Available weekdays, 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. Would love to hear about your dog! I'm currently off-season for my job, so I can reliably be scheduled from 9AM to 3PM (so I can do daycare pickup)! I have lots of flexibility this time of year. Happy to be a recurring friend! I follow whatever routine you set. Tell me where the leash and treats live, how you want the door handled, and any quirks I should know about, and I'll stick to it exactly. I leash up before opening the door, check the collar or harness fits properly, and confirm the door is locked behind me on the way out. Keys or codes stay with me and aren't shared. If anything seems off with your dog, you'll hear from me right away.

“Very honest and cares about my Great Dane!”

About: Hi there! If you’re looking for a cozy, safe, and super loving environment for your furry best friend, you’ve definitely found the right place. I’ve been surrounded by paws and purrs my whole life. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages—from tiny, energetic 1-month-old babies to sweet, 15-year-old seniors who just want a quiet place to snuggle. My wife, our friends, and I are all huge animal lovers, so your pet will get endless cuddles, belly rubs, and attention here! I'd love to help you with boarding, drop-in visits, and dog walking. For boarding, we have an awesome setup in McLean: a comfy 1-bedroom place with a fully fenced backyard. It’s absolutely perfect for safe, off-leash zoomies and relaxing in the sun! We also have a house in Vienna, which is home to our three chill, 2-year-old American Shorthair cats. As a devoted pet dad myself, I know exactly how hard it is to leave your babies behind. That’s why I treat every pet exactly like my own. I pay close attention to healthy diets, love setting up fun enrichment (I even grow fresh cat grass!), taking the pups on nice long walks, and I don't mind giving them a bath if they get a little messy from playing. I promise to send you lots of cute photo updates so you can relax knowing they're having a great time. I can't wait to meet you and your pets! Pet care is a seamless part of our daily routine! My wife works fully remote, meaning someone is almost always home to provide round-the-clock love and attention. I work a hybrid schedule and only go into the office two days a week. By teaming up, we guarantee your pet gets consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of midday cuddles. You will never have to worry about your furry family member being left alone for long stretches—they will always have a loving human companion nearby to play with or snuggle next to! For dogs, our McLean location features a fully fenced backyard, providing a perfectly secure space for off-leash zoomies and safe outdoor play. For cats staying at our Vienna home, we offer flexible setups: a social 'Youth Hostel' vibe with our three friendly resident cats, or a quiet 'Private Suite' for pets who need their own peaceful space. Because our own cats are notorious little thieves who are always trying to sneak a bite of our bread and human food, we’ve become experts at pet-proofing! We maintain strict habits to keep our entire home meticulously clean, organized, and free of any accessible hazards. You can rest assured that our whole house is a 100% pet-friendly and secure environment. We strictly follow your feeding and medication guidelines, always double-check that gates and doors are secure, and tailor our care to your pet's needs. Whether that means taking dogs for long, stimulating walks, setting up engaging enrichment activities, or giving them a gentle bath after a messy play session, your pet is in safe and loving hands!

“Isabelle walks my goldendoodle furchild every day and she’s such an important part of Maya’s life. To start, she’s super communicative and reliable, which makes it really easy to plan and coordinate walks and dogcare with her. She was also great about learning what behaviors we try to reinforce, Maya’s habits and routines and what Maya eats, which gives me the warm and fuzzies that as a parent, aunt Isabelle is staying consistent with dad’s rules. Isabelle is so great with dogs and has good judgment generally; seeing how she interacts with Maya and hearing her describe how Maya did on a given walk, I trust her implicitly. Lately she’s been really helpful in figuring out fun new walking routes or destinations that cater to Maya’s interests and mood and energy level. Yep Isabelle is a wonderful dog “auntie” and just a delightful human being. I don’t know what her advertised rates are on here, but you should pay them and then some. Isabelle, get after it girl. Charge people what you’re worth! ?”

About: I’ve owned a dog before and have been fostering dogs and cats regularly. I have experience with puppies and large dogs. Currently, I own a cat named Ronnie and continue to foster pets, gaining more hands-on experience every day. My schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to be home most of the time to provide your pets with my undivided attention. I ensure that your pets have the freedom to signal when they need to go outside, making their comfort and needs a top priority. I reside in a basement area with direct access to a small, fenced backyard, providing a secure outdoor space for pets. The living area has wood flooring and gates to prevent stair access, which is particularly beneficial for pets with weak joints.

About: I have pet sat for my neighbors since I was 15 years old, professionally so for a collective 8 years. (from childhood to today totalling 21 years) I grew up with at least one dog in my parents household, loved both our family dogs through their senior years and beyond. I am pet cpr/ first aide certified, currently own a 9 year old Grey Domestic short hair cat, Thor, and my 28 year old horse, Riley. I am looking to head back to school for veterinary medicine with focus on large animal sports medicine/orthopedics. Eventually mixed practice too. In the horse world, I have 33 years under my belt, with my godmother introducing me at age 3. I am passionate about pet care, large and small. Most experience with cats, dogs, and horses and looking to expand. From the toy breeds of canine, to the extra large goofs, I enjoy caring for your loved ones as if they were my own. Shy guys? No problem! I take my time letting them get to know me without offense. Need a little extra help on training homework from your professional training team? Walk me through and I am more than happy to continue with their routine. I'm a softie for seniors. Looking forward to meeting you all and your pets! Available for walks, pop ins now! Currently in the process of signing up to renew my pet cpr and first aid certification. And I hope to start vet med prerequisites online at NoVA Community College. The later I am able to balance with all the attention on your pets. My neighborhood is nearby Scott's Run, Great Falls Park and Riverbend Park here in McLean and Geat Falls, Virginia. If ok with pet parents, I can take them for a walk (one at a time) during in home boarding. We don't have a fenced yard but our neighborhood offers plenty of walk routes. At client's home, I try to keep our walks with in the neighborhood and no socializing due to safety, even if your pup knows a neighbor's pup.

“Amber was very accommodating and understanding! She did a great job caring for my new puppy and sent pictures and gave great updates! Would definitely recommend her to anyone!!”

About: I grew up with 4 German shepherds and currently have a baby golden doodle. He is so energetic and very friendly to everyone he meets. Im current a full time college student which gives me flexible time to work and attend classes. This also means I can rearrange my schedule to fit the things I need to do outside of my in person classes. I provide loving, reliable care by following each pet's routine, including feeding, fresh water, exercise, and playtime. In a client's home, I follow their instructions and keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment.

About: I've had 2 dogs in the family for 10+ years now and understand the challenges of wanting the best exercise for your best friend while being very busy. Aside from that, I've had/have bunnies, birds and a cat and am expert in cat body language, bird calls and bunny thumps - so you can say I'm multi-lingual and very safety-conscientious (: Please never hesitate to ask me questions or for any updates on your baby - I'm always ready to send a quick text back or send pictures! I also want to say that i'm down to care for almost any pet - cats, dogs, bunnies, birds, rats, etc. 🥰 My only exceptions would be anything venomous or feeding live/dead feed (bugs, rats to snakes). My best times to walk are during lunchtime (12-2) or after work hours (past 5PM). I can also pet sit/drop in on your pets at anytime. ☺️ My pets get daily enrichment with an abundance of toys that get switched out pretty often. I'm also researching/watching videos on how to better take care of our friends! For dog walking, it'll depend on your preference - I'm flexible.

“Chloe was great with our dog! She was responsive and timely and easy to work with.”

About: Grew up with both dogs and cats and learned to read the little ways they communicate. I'll be sure to treat them as my own but under your specific guidance and instruction, making sure they're comfortable and cared for while you're away. I can get them moving, tucker them out, or just give them belly pats until you're home—either way, I'm sure they'll have fun! I'm a writer by day, which basically means I'm 'unemployed.' But this is great for you because I'll have plenty of time for your pets! (Not so great for the gas bill however...) It also means I have a very flexible schedule and can bend to your scheduling needs. I'm certain we can work out a time that works for both of us. I was in the Navy and the NSA and held a Top-Secret Clearance for over six years. (They don't just give those things out to anyone.) But if that's not enough to get you to feel safe, I'm also CPR certified, was an EMT, and have experience watching pets of family and friends for years and nothing bad has ever happened.
