Dog Walking Rivercrest

“Noah has been great with our dog Toph, who can be a handful. He’s very responsive and follows our detailed instructions well. We are thankful to have his help.”

“Anne was great dealing with our dog who gets anxious around new people. With a bit of patience and treats, Anne calmed Archie’s nerves without us around and was able to take him for a walk. Very appreciative of Anne taking the time to work with our dog!”

About: Hi! I took a break from pet sitting but I am so excited to be back! I love all kinds of animals! I have patience for those animals that may be timid or nervous. I can work with training or to just give an opportunity for exercise. I am up for anything! Dogs have become a passion of mine, and I am here to help you take care of your furry friend. They are precious companions and deserve a life where they are loved and paid attention to. That's what I am here for! I can help both your furry friend and help you by providing services and to love on your pet. It can be worry-some to hand your companion over to another so I am here to alleviate that stress. I am between jobs so I have lot of time for walks, play, stimulation etc. Your pet's health and well-being is my priority. I am happy to take your pet on any walks. There are plenty of trails around the Arlington area that are pet friendly. I am happy to play with your pet and give them lots of love!

About: Hello! We're Sara and Mariano, a dynamic dog-loving duo based in Northwest DC. With years of experience as dog watchers and proud pet parents to Captain, our 40 lb Shepherd Mix, we offer a unique team approach to caring for your furry friends. Our love for dogs runs deep, having grown up with them and incorporating them into our daily lives. While we both have day jobs, Sara works hybrid, allowing us to provide around-the-clock care and attention to your beloved pets. At our home, every dog is treated like family. We tailor our services to meet the individual needs and preferences of each furry guest, ensuring they feel right at home. From neighborhood strolls to hikes and fun outings to local dog parks, we make sure every day is an adventure for our four-legged visitors. We take pride in creating a welcoming and relaxing environment for dogs in our care, making their stay feel like a vacation. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, snuggles, or simply lounging in the sun, we are here to cater to their every whim. If you're looking for a loving and attentive dog watching service in Northwest DC, we'd love to hear from you! Feel free to send us a message to discuss your dog's needs and schedule a stay with us. Your furry friend is sure to have a tail-wagging good time with Sara and Mariano! Between the two of us, our schedules are very flexible. We work during the day hours, with one of us having a hybrid schedule. Weekends are spent at home with the furry ones! If you are considering booking a service for dog boarding I will go over the details of your pet’s routine to fully accommodate their needs. For my drop in visits or overnight stays I am comfortable with whatever routine you already have established for your pet(s).

“Julia is excellent. Very communicative, timely, and most of all, gave Camden a great walk and lots of love! We loved getting her feedback on the walk and several pics of Camden.”

“I recommend Brenna! She was highly responsive and responsible. My dog is sweet, but can be an obstinate walker. She was patient with him and is very kind.”

Mary & Joseph F.

“Thank you Hailey. Yoshi appreciates his walk with you even in the rain”

“Jana was a great walker. She was very patient with Hazel the hound who had to be coaxed on the walk. Hazel had a wonderful time. Thank you Jana!”

“Dominique had great communication with me about our dog Lincoln. He’s got a positive and professional demeanor. Our dog is a big boy (125 lbs ) and Dominique handled him with ease. Lincoln instantly connected with Dominique, not something he always does with strangers. Dominique most definitely has a way with dogs. His interaction and care was as if Lincoln was his own pet. Dominique’s communication with me was great up to meeting and during the interaction with our boy. Very amicable person. I will use Dominque again.”

“Marley was amazing! I was gone for almost 5 days and have a very reactive girl dog and relatively chill boy dog. She took amazing care of them and sent so many updates. I felt totally comfortable leaving them in her care. It means so much to have people watch and care for your pets like they are their own!”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and have always had a deep love for animals! One of my favorite things about pet sitting for my neighborhood growing up was getting to know each pet’s unique personality and what makes them special. I’m a dependable, caring, and communicative pet sitter who understands how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I’ll keep you updated with photos, messages, and timely communication, so you can see how much fun we’re having! Whether your dog loves long adventures or quick neighborhood walks, I’m happy to match their energy. I also enjoy playtime and giving plenty of attention and affection. After a fun day/walk together, they’ll be ready for a well earned pup nap! I work from home 3 days a week and am flexible on timing, so seeing your pup throughout the day or for a lunchtime walk is no problem at all! I am almost always local on the weekends as well. I focus on keeping your dog’s routine as consistent and comfortable as possible! I know pets feel most at ease in familiar surroundings, so I’ll follow your instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any specific preferences your pet may have. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own, while making sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’ll also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
