Dog Walking Pleasure Ridge Park

About: I have always loved animals and been around them most of my life. I have taken a basic training course for dogs and previously owned them and currently own cats. I am well versed in giving oral medication to both dogs and cats. I love talking puppies of any age for a walk, long or short and know how to work on leash training. I've worked with senior dogs and know how to give meds. I would love to look after your sweet pet(s) when you are unable to. I work from home so I am able to work around your schedule to take care of your loved ones. I can do short distance travel as needed. I will follow all the clients directions on how they would like their pet cared for in their home. I am available for check-ins for any sort of animal you may have and dog walks. I love to spend time cuddling or giving scratches, playing fetch or chase, or just spending time so your fur baby isn't lonely.

About: Hi! I am a very loving, caring, enthusiastic animal friend. I have been a pet mom myself for over 20 years, having had the pleasure of caring for dogs, cats, turtles, snakes, and birds. I worked as a veterinary assistant/pet nurse for almost 10 years, where I fulfilled all duties from surgery assistant to boarding kennel attendant. In addition, I have taken care of many animals in their homes for their owners. I can handle many 'extras,' including bathing, nail trims, gland expression, and I am willing and able to medicate pets, orally or through injection (in cases such as a diabetic pets). I consider myself to be a responsible (and fun!) caretaker. I will treat your pets the way I treat my own babies.

About: **If you're new to Rover here's my promo code for $40 off your first request SAMANK93051** Animals make the world a better place. I love being able to work with animals so much. They just make my day brighter. I couldn't imagine life without them. Being able to work with animals every day is a dream come true. Not only do I enjoy doing this so much for myself but my 2 kids and my husband love doing along my side. We all make a wonderful team taking care of fur babies. Your fur baby will always be treated as if they were our own baby in our care. While you are away we will gladly take over on loving on them! I have had the pleasure of working for Rover for 3 years now. Working for Rover I have been around all kinds of fur babies from huge to tiny, from picky eaters to will eat anything lol. Working for Rover has given me the experience to know what to expect when caring for a baby since I've done it so much. I also have been caring for pets of my own for 9 years now. But have grown up around all kinds of animals. My first born son is a Doberman Pincher and he is a pretty big boy. He is the best dog ever! He's is like my shadow and follows me everywhere I go. He's great around other dogs. He will sniff like crazy but after that he just wants to play and go get his blankey. We live in an apartment and getting exercise isn't as easy as it is with families with a yard. But can't let that stop us. I make sure my baby gets the exercise and outside time he wants and needs. So I have made it my duty to help dogs who have the same or different obstacles in their way of enjoying there natural desire to be outside and to get the exercise they need to stay healthy. I am a huge dog lover and will go above and beyond to make sure a dog is happy, seeing them happy makes me happy. My dog has always been there for me and made me happy when I needed him, the least I can do is be there for all animals who need my help in making life more healthy and fun! I am available any day or time during the week and weekends. This is my only job and I am pretty flexible and willing to work with drop off and pick up times. I don't have a yard because I live in an apartment. But I can't let that stop me, I take my dog out to walk and play probably more than I should because we dont have a yard. He is a big boy and exercise is very important for him to stay healthy. So we go for long walks and I have a little yard outside my patio for emergency potty breaks. I also live right by the floor wall so we tend to walk it a lot my dog absolutely loves going up it. I am currently not working any other job so your doggy will be my main focus. I am available any time during the week and weekends just give me a shout and we will make something work. I live in an apartment so I walk my boy to go potty, play, or walk. I have a yard in front of my patio if we have a potty emergency. It is not fenced in so I will NOT have your baby off leash ever. I also can easily crate your baby in my XL crate if need be. E

About: I’ve always had a dog growing up, our family dog recently just died of old age.. and think it’s probably to soon to get another dog so we’re going to take baby steps. I’m currently working part time, I have a 4 year old son who loves animals so feel it would be great to take on pet sitting part time.. I have a spacious home & also a fenced in back yard for dogs to easily roam around and be comfortable inside or outside etc.

About: I have always been known to be a pet lover and truly do care and love pets. I have pet sat since I was a kid and always try to give pets extra love and care while their family is away. I have had experiences in the past with dogs who are reactive, have health issues, or need extra patience and time. I trained my dog Bunny since she was 3 months old and am experienced with potty training, crate training, and basic commands. I also had an elderly 12 year old dog who has joint issues and needed extra help occasionally. I am able to give medicine or do any extra medical care if provided with instructions. I am a Direct Support Professional working with individuals with disabilities! My work schedule is the same weekly which can be beneficial with clients to communicate when they expect me to be with their pets. I have knowledge, patience, and love for pets who's owners may be worried about having a pet sitter due to their pet's reactivity, shyness, or extra needs. I can work with owners to find the best way to keep their pets feeling safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am good at getting dogs in crates and on walks. I love all pets, no matter what size and age.

About: I am experienced with dogs of all sizes and cats! I love animals & all their quirks! I have a dog as well as two cats. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I am currently working from home so I am open to care for your pet in any way they need! Whether they are big, small, chill, or active. I have a large fenced in yard and a very friendly pup to keep your fur babies company. I believe positive reinforcement is the only productive way to interact with animals.

“Very relaxed meet and greet that showed a lot of competence and skills to adapt. Glad she'll be our walker for a while :)”

“Olivia is great. I definitely will be using her again to walk my pup. She takes great care and great photos. She also communicates very well!”

About: I've been in the house/pet sitting business for a couple years now. I've worked in houses with anywhere between one animal to seven animals! I am absolutely open to exotic pets as well as I have a few of my own and would love to meet different species. I also worked in a zoo for 4 years, and currently work in a vets office, so I have plenty of different experiences. I look forward to meeting your babies:) I currently work at a vets office Thursday-Saturday from 9am-5:30pm (1pm on Saturdays), and volunteer Sunday nights, so I would unfortunately not be able to provide around the clock care. Otherwise, I am at the home all day! I am open to frequent walks, brushing, bathing, giving medication, and any other specific needs for your pet! I understand how tedious and picky some animals tend to be, so I'm open to any accommodations necessary.

About: I’ve had all type of pets from sugar Glider’s dogs ferrets fish for over 10 years I love all kind of animals yours to . Pet care naturally fits into my everyday life because I enjoy building my schedule around giving animals the attention and care they deserve. I have the flexibility to provide dependable visits throughout the day for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, and I make reliability a priority. Caring for cats isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s spending time playing with an energetic kitten, keeping a senior cat comfortable, or simply providing quiet companionship for a shy cat, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I also keep pet owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. We have a high privacy fence with big back yard where they will play with our dogs and play ball tug-of-war and other fun games

About: Pets are my world. I volunteered at an animal rescue for 8 years before I moved out of town. I had a 14-year-old rescue who was blind and diabetic. I gave him two injections a day and cooked his food every week. Let your pup be my new bestie. I currently do not have a set schedule so my schedule is pretty flexible to keep your babies company when needed even in short notice! I let them smell me each time and come to me when they are comfortable. I have no doubt they will warm up to me fast!

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was ten years old! Between looking after my own dog and my family's, I have the experience and love to make sure your furry friend gets the attention they deserve! I'm a middle school teacher in the Louisville area, so weekends are the best for house sitting and longer watching periods! During the weekday afternoons, I would love to help check in, play with your pup, or give them a nice long walk! Communication is the most important thing. I will always follow the wishes of the owner to make sure your pets are cared for in the most consistent way possible. Your boundaries are mine, and I always act in the best interest of you and your pets!

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds ever since I was roughly 13 years old, and am also able to administer medications to animals. Family members, friends, and referrals/new friends have trusted me with their pets time and time again because I genuinely enjoy spending time with and taking care of their critters as if they’re my own! I also have experience with farm/unique animals like chickens, chinchillas, guinea pigs, rabbits, snakes, etc., and I have experience caring for epileptic dogs, as well as senior animals! I can ALWAYS promise to treat your babies like they’re my own, and to ensure they get the best of care. My availability is quite flexible, and I typically have the ability to run over and do house visits or walks as often as they are needed, and I’m able to provide housesitting services, too! I unfortunately am unable to host animals in my home due to rules against it (I’m a renter). I apologize in advance if this causes any kind of inconvenience. But I’m able to happily provide housesitting/petsitting services at my clients homes.

About: I have been a general sitter since I was a teenager. I love learning about a pet’s routine, their personalities, and what keeps them happy!

Regular check ins as I’ll make sure your pets are consistently and have learned to know when a pet is sick or in distress. I’ll also keep you updated!

About: Hi! I'm Haylie, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes. I'm based near Florida Ave NE in Washington, D.C., and I proudly serve clients across the DMV including Southeast D.C., Navy Yard, Capitol Hill, NE/SE neighborhoods, and parts of Maryland and Northern Virginia. I grew up surrounded by pets especially dogs and was always the one helping walk, feed, bathe, and care for them. I’ve even assisted dogs and cats during births when I was younger, which gave me deep insight into caring for animals at all life stages. Whether your pet needs a brisk walk, quiet cuddle time, medication, or just dependable daily visits, I’m here to help with care that’s loving, professional, and tailored to your routine. I'm comfortable with: ✔️ Dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes ✔️ Senior pets or those with special medical needs ✔️ Puppies and high-energy pets ✔️ Flexible scheduling and last-minute bookings when available Let’s make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! Pet care is an important part of my daily life. Living near Florida Ave NE, I’m often out walking dogs in Navy Yard or stopping by for quick visits around Capitol Hill and SE D.C. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and flexible with last-minute requests. Caring for dogs and cats isn’t just part of my routine, it shapes it. I love giving pets one-on-one attention and helping busy owners in the DMV feel at ease. I take pet safety and trust seriously, whether caring for pets in your home or mine. I follow all instructions closely, keep spaces clean and secure, and ensure your pet feels comfortable. On walks, I avoid crowded areas and match your dog’s pace. Pets staying with me enjoy a calm, pet-friendly environment. I provide regular updates so you feel connected and confident while you're away.

About: Although I don’t have formal professional experience in pet care, I’ve spent years caring for my family/friends pets and making sure they feel loved and safe. From walks and feeding schedules, to playtime and comfort. This has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to provide attentive, living care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, even with a full time job. I work at 8-4:30 Monday through friday. I am available anytime after that. I can also work some weekends. Anytime of the day on weekends preferably before 3pm. I myself have a little Yorkie at home. Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will make sure your dog is closely supervised at all times during dog walks. Whether your dog needs a calm stroll or a more energetic walk, I’ll make sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. I look forward to caring for your dog and treating them like my own! 🙂

About: I have had fur babies all my life. From puppy stage to senior care. They are truly part of the family. I look forwards to loving on yours I have the please of working from home, fitting your pet into my daily routine would be identical to how I am able to send time with my own. I have a huge fenced in yard. I have one fur baby he is a bernedoodle who is turning two at the end of this year. He gets along great with other dogs and enjoys the company. So I am able to provide each pet with the love they need I have very limited space on how many dogs I will keep at once. If your pet enjoys walks, we will go on walks, enjoy fetch in the backyard, we will play fetch in the back yard. Your pet is part of my family once you guys enter my home. I do have children who love to run around with animals also.

About: Hello! I am studying in my masters program and looking for extra income to be. My partner lives in Texas with our Sharpei pitbull mix, Buster. I am missing him everyday I’m away. I have a cat of my own with me who is 10 and is named Bagheera. I am very fun and active and love the idea of taking your dog on long walks. I grew up with dog of various “big dog” breeds and I can handle puppies no matter how big or small they might be. I would love the opportunity to play with and care for any animal, and make sure they have everything they need! I’m a full-time student so my schedule is flexible and I’m available for boarding on the weekdays and weekends. Depending on my schedule, I may be out of the house for about four hours at a time, but frequently visit home. Before starting grad school, I was a full-time nanny for 10 years so I have lots of care experience and know the depths of which people love their pets. Being a nanny has helped me react quickly in emergency situations and has helped me expand my horizon of dog care as well!

About: I'm a freelance artist and mostly work from my laptop, which allows me to hang out with your pet(s) pretty much the entire time. We'll cuddle, and go on walks, and play outside, and I'll give them lots of loving pets. I will also send you frequent photos of them, since I know how stressful it can be to leave them in someone else's care. For me, dog sitting is more than just making some extra money...it's therapy. I am unable to have a dog of my own at this time so I am looking for some dog friends who will help to fill that void. I have yet to meet a dog I didn't like (even the crazy ones), so I'm sure your pet and I will get along swimmingly. I mostly work from home so I will be with your dog most, if not all of the time. I especially love longer stays, but open to just about any length of time. Lots of pets and cuddles! I love taking them on walks, or just hanging out in my fenced backyard. I live near Iroquois park, so that’s also a favorite activity.
