Dog Walking In Rivercrest

About: I'm the proud owner of a chocolate lab and go-to sitter of three precious cats! I'm very active and able to take your pets on long walks. I'm currently a college student on summer break, so I am free to watch, play with, and walk your pets every day of the week! Your pets will be my #1 priority! I have a well loved chocolate lab at home, so I know how to take care of dogs! For my clients, I value communication. You will know all about how your pet is doing, and I will follow their pre-existing routine as closely as possible! Let me know any rules, diet restrictions, and preferences so I can do my best. I prefer to dogsit in your home to reduce the amount of stress your pet feels while you're away!

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for everything from small dogs to large dogs, including a couple of Belgian Malinois. I frequently take care of friends’ dogs when they are out of town, providing walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of attention to help them stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine while their owners are away. Caring for pets is already a regular part of my week. I have a pretty flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit in walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’m very clean and organized, - I can clean up after pets including messes or accidents to ensure home is tidy. - - - -

About: I grew up in a home that was constantly fostering dogs, puppies, senior dogs, kittens, and everything in between. Over the years, I’ve helped care for shy rescues, energetic puppies, senior hospice dogs, big breeds, little breeds, and pets needing extra patience and structure. Through fostering and daily care, I gained experience reinforcing training routines, reading canine body language, and handling dogs respectfully based on their individual needs and comfort levels. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I’m experienced with:
• Dog walking
• Cat sitting
• Overnight pet care
• High energy dogs
• Senior pets
• Rescue animals & anxious pets
• Reinforcing basic training routines
• Reactive or dog selective dogs
• Multi pet households I’m active, reliable, calm under pressure, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I understand that not every dog wants to greet people or other dogs on walks, and I’m always mindful of giving pets the space, structure, and calm environment they need to feel comfortable and safe. Whether your dog needs a long walk, playtime, cuddles, consistency, or just someone dependable while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’ll be available in Arlington, VA, this summer and in San Diego this fall, and I have reliable transportation. My goal is simple: make your pets feel safe, loved, exercised, and happy, and make you feel completely comfortable while you’re away. Can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I am in Arlington, VA, for the summer and in San Diego for college during the fall! I work part-time over the summer for the St.James ice hockey program. Starting June 15th, I will only be free after 4 pm on weekdays and at any time on weekends. I will be available to stay overnight on weekends. I have experience in caring for animals with a variety of personalities. I have adopted many animals over the years, and my most recent dog is a Belgian Malinois! He is full of energy and likes going on runs, walks, playing fetch, and anything that involves hours of constant activity. I have had dogs ranging from 3-week-old puppies to a 160-pound mastiff. I have had cats all my life and have bottle-fed multiple litters. I enjoy working with local animal shelters and would love to let your animal steal my heart 😊

“Sophia is great! She agreed to help walk Bandit on short notice and even braved the rain. I highly recommend her.”

About: Hi there! I grew up loving dogs, in fact, my older sibling was our family German Shepard! She made sure I was safe, and I made sure she was well loved! I understand how important four-legged family members are. I will provide your fur baby with the same level of care I would want for my own. I LOVE dogs and they love me! I have owned and cared for a full range of dogs. You can feel relaxed with your pet in my care, whether a baby or mature pet, I’ve handled them all! Also, as an experienced foster mom, I am fully comfortable and capable of handling newly adopted or foster dogs, and shy/timid dogs. I have no breed or size restrictions. All furry friends are welcome! Whatever you and your pet need, I am here to help. Currently, I am focused only on dog sitting. Although I tend to schedule tasks when I am not caring for a dog, if I need to run an errand, pups are never left alone for more than one to two hours. My home is very pet friendly and safe. Your fur baby is more than welcome to hang out with me on the couch or on the bed! Let my love of pets help you feel secure in your fur baby's safety and well-being.

“Our whole family loves Amanda. From the first day she came to meet our 2 pups, they immediately took to her. She’s incredibly warm and knowledgeable about taking care of dogs with different needs, as well as reliable and great with communicating. We’re very, very lucky to have her taking care of our fur babies”

About: I have grown up around animals and have extensive experience with pet care and the adoption process, which has strengthened my passion for providing loving, attentive care. Over the years, I have become a trusted choice for many families because of my dedication, reliability, and commitment to treating every pet as if they were my own. I take pride in ensuring that animals feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am a college student working part-time mostly at night allowing me lots of time during the day to walk and play your pups! I am able to travel to your house and am able to take the pup on a walk or just stay and play for a bit!

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

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, from energetic younger dogs to elderly dogs who need extra patience and attention. I have cared for my own dog, which has taught me how important it is to be responsible, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I have also helped care for my neighbors’ dogs, including both senior dogs and younger dogs, by making sure they are fed, walked, comfortable, and given plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, and I always do my best to make pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but the rest of the week I am usually at home working or studying remotely. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I am also especially available on weekends, which is a great option for pet parents who need to board their dog at my apartment. I live in a pet-friendly one-bedroom apartment where pets can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I make sure to follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I also give pets plenty of attention, love, and a calm environment so they feel at home. My apartment is in a great area with plenty of parks and trails nearby, making it easy to take dogs on walks, get fresh air, and enjoy outdoor time. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while they are staying with me.

About: I have a pet Russian tortoise who requires special care and delicate handling that's more involved than, say, walking and feeding a dog or taking care of a cat. I have a pretty flexible schedule both this summer and into the fall. Pet care can easily be scheduled around my summer job and college classes. I make sure pets, my own and others that I've been responsible for, get plenty of attention. I don't leave them until all their needs have been met

“Anne has been amazing! Patient and flexible with my anxious, nervous, sensitive, and opinionated dog, Pumpkin. She's been key in helping to desensitize him to our surrounding area while we work through environmental anxiety issues. Anne has also been incredibly communicative, and we're so lucky to have found her 💖”

“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 love to care for all animals. I think they’re the most innocent and precious things we’ve got in this world and we should never take them for granted. I love them soo much and on top of making their day better by caring for them And playing with them, they make my day better as well when i need to put a smile on my face. I would love to take care of anyone’s pet if they need me to without question, I’ve had pets around me for as long as I can remember and I don’t remember one bad memory with any of them, this would be something I genuinely enjoy doing and would be more than happy to do, thank you! :)

About: I was born into a family of pet lovers so taking care of animals is second nature! I have experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages, including those requiring special attention and medication. I'd love to spoil your pets and tend to all their needs! I am a college student home for the summer with a part-time job. Outside of that commitment, I have lots of availability to help with your pets! I will ensure that your pets remain in their designated spaces in your home. I will be sure to closely follow all of your specific instructions.
