Dog Walkers in Purcellville, VA

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.

“Nicole is wonderful! I immediately felt comfortable. She had great communication, arrived on time, and cared for Nala. Thank you!!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so I’m open to caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I also have firsthand experience with dogs who have medical conditions, including seizures, and I’m comfortable administering medication and providing calm, attentive care. I’m currently back home for the summer and am available anytime of the day! I am open to last minute drop ins if needed. I’m more than happy to spend as much time as needed with the pets. I can feed, walk, play, and clean for them, as well as give medication on time.

“Lea did a great job! Took our big Rottweiler for daily walks while we were on vacation. So appreciate how Lea gave me daily updates and communicates with me after every walk. So professional and reliable! Will recommend Lea to all of our friends with fur babies!”

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: I grew up with 2 Labrador retrievers, who I grew a special bond with where I grew to love taking care of dogs! I now have a 3 year old German Shepherd pure bred, who I raised and helped to train. I just adopted a Hound, who is a 2 year old rescue. I love walking my dogs everyday, and also driving them to parks as well. I feed my dogs everyday, and have always been known to be taking care of dogs my whole life. I am 21 years old, and a student at East Carolina University. I come home very often, especially during breaks, and live here all summer! My pets are apart of my everyday life, and I am willing to take care and spend valuable time with pets whenever needed and necessary for you! I am willing to do just about anything with your pets, such as spending time playing with them, walking them, going to a park, feeding them, making sure they go to bed safe, whatever fits you and your pets needs!

About: Hi, I am a passionate dog lover. I will gladly take your pet on long walks followed by plenty of play time. Their health and well being is also a top priority of mine, I will ensure to inspect their teeth, paws, and skin daily. It is not easy finding a pet sitter you can rely on, for that reason, I like to provide picture updates and notes to make sure you are comfortable and at ease on how your pet is doing. I can provide references from previous clients to support my care and love for dogs. It would be a pleasure for me to have the opportunity to care for your pet. I am available throughout the day to tend and care for your pet. Whether that be drop-ins, walks, or boarding needs. I can work with you to make sure we setup the right schedule. For drop-in clients, I am able to provide morning, afternoon, and evening visits. During my visit I will provide play time, water bowl checks, and feeding depending on the need of your pet. For boarding clients, I live in a large Townhome with a balcony that is readily accessible for your pet. I live by a nature trail that I will use for walks, play time, and just all around fresh air. If needed I am able to crate your pet to maintain your training processes. I will provide fresh water, scheduled feeding, and exercise.

“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 around dogs all my life and have taken part in the good and the bad - partaking in puppy training through supporting end of life care. To me, pets are family so I understand first hand how important it is to have reliable, trustworthy care! I send lots of pics and give lots of loving!! I’m a stay at home mom of 4 with 3 kids in school now so I have some extra time on my hands! I would love to weave in regular walks or the occasional pop-in to meet your pet care needs. My care depends on the routine of the client. I try my best to maintain normalcy for the pet and accommodate the needs of each family. Because I stay home with the kids I have the flexibility for multiple walks, feeds, check-ins throughout the day!

“Nancy is our go to sitter for our pack of dogs! She is amazing with every single one of them, and is incredible with new foster pups too! We love her!”

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.

About: I have two dogs, one of came to us as a reactive rescue so I'm very comfortable handling timid or anxious pets. Both of my dogs were adopted when they were puppies to I'm ready for all the puppy crazies! I've been petsitting for the past 5 years and have experience with all sorts of sizes and temperaments. I can't wait to meet your pets! :) I'm currently a college student so my availability is centered around my class schedule. I'm free all evenings and most afternoons. I also don't mind an extra early walk or check-in. I'm currently living in a dorm so any petsitting will have to take place in the owner's home. Respect is super important to me so I will always steer clear of any space that isn't necessary for me to enter. A discussion on boundaries is always welcome prior to any visit!

“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've had many dogs since I was a kid and I've learned to love caring for them. My family currently has three dogs and I enjoy taking them on long walks and to the dog park to run around. I also have experience handling puppies. I'm currently a student at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC. I have availability for pet sitting during the school week and over the weekends! Over college break, I reside in Loudoun County, VA. I am available for pet sitting any time during those breaks! In my home I ensure my pets are let out when they need to go potty, their water bowl is never empty, they are fed on time, and they are taken on walks daily. In my client's home I will follow those same guidelines as well as any additional requests asked of me.
