“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’m a caring person that loves playing and give love to the pets in general. Also I’m a clean person that always keep organized the areas that the pet were using. My schedule is Monday to Friday 6am to 8pm And weekends I have basically free all day to pet sit in general. I’m very flexible person. I usually follow the instructions that the parent pet gave to me prior to the care.I treat them kindly and with the respect animals also deserves.
“Hannah was great getting Logan moving in the middle of the day while I was at work. She's super responsive and was a huge help to me in my first week back in the office.”
“Isabela is amazing!!! She is very responsive and takes wonderful care of my dog. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and will be using her again.”
“Monica is super responsive and great communicator. She was able to meet up with us beforehand for Teddy to meet her since he's is incredible shy. Teddy had a good walk with her! Thanks again!”
“Love Anne!!! She is always so understanding and constantly helps us when we are in a bind. Amazing dog walker and is so understanding of changes in plans!”

About: Hi! My name is Breanna and I recently moved to Arlington after getting my Masters Degree at the Cleveland Institute of Music. Since I can remember I’ve always had a dog that I cared for, whether that be a more active dog or an elderly dog, and more recently have gotten a cat! So I’m extremely knowledgeable on all matters of care taking for animals and I can guarantee your dog will have a great time in my care! As someone new to the area I have been loving exploring this beautiful city and would love to take your dog with me! By the time we get back I can guarantee your pet will have had a great time exploring with me. I have a very active dog myself and have also had an elderly dog, so I understand catering to the needs of each individual dog. I have been surrounded by animals big and small since I can remember. Even being a professional equestrian for over 5 years, so no dog is too much for me! I’m currently taking auditions for professional orchestras so I’m home almost everyone practicing! Practice breaks are extremely important so I like to go outside for a couple hours everyday. I’d love to take your dog with me! I currently live with my boyfriend and 2 year old cat Banjo. Banjo eats only the very best wet food and freeze dried treats and his litter is cleaned multiple times a day. The same care and attention goes into every animal I get to care for!
“Erick was very communicative and personable! He was patient and took great care of our Siberian husky and gave him excellent walks every day. We really enjoyed working with him and would recommend his services to anyone!”
“Carolina has been great. She came out to meet our dog, Max, and was not at all put off by his size (95 pounds) or energy (overly enthusiastic), which can be intimidating. She keeps us posted on all of his walks, and (most importantly) Max seems very happy with the arrangement.”
“Julia literally gave our dog an extra cashmere sweater she had to keep him warm on his walks in the snow! She is incredible and has the biggest heart! Every morning Banx waits for her by the door- he can’t wait for his walks!”
“Amber has been great with my Millie girl! She started walking Millie as a young pup and has been with her over the past few months and has helped her grow. She is always reliable and accurately communicates if she is not able to work her normal schedule. I also am impressed with her patience, as my apartment building front desk can be hit or miss with exchanging keys. I look forward to reading her rover card comments, always upbeat but constructive. I no longer need regular service with Amber due to my job, but look forward to booking her for occasional walks with Millie in the future!”
About: I am very patient and love dogs! Whether it’s to play with them if they have a lot of energy, or relax at home, I always enjoy being around them! I grew up with dogs in my family, and my wife has too! We would love to have your dog :) I’m fully working from home, so I can definitely adjust my schedule to take care of your dog :) My wife also works from home 2 days a week, so there is always someone present. I have a two bed room apartment with a big fenced patio with plenty of room. In addition, there is a big park right behind my condo where we can go on walk very safely without having to cross any roads
About: Starting the age of 14 I started talking care of my friends and family dogs. They were all different types of ages from 3 months old to 7 years old. My priority is just making sure the dog is safe and comfortable around me. I always follow given instructions and make sure they are done correctly. I am currently a student in College and I have a part time job so my availability does vary. I’m available weekends 7-11am but if you’d like during the weekdays, just send me a text and I’ll let you know if I’m available. I always make sure to keep dog on leash when outside unless told it’s okay to take off. If I do go to a dog park I always make sure to keep my eye on the dog. And I make sure it doesn’t eat anything it’s not supposed to .
“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.”

Melissa is an amazing, kind, and understanding dog walker! She is always so flexible and accommodating even when we have last minute changes or needs that come up. Our two dogs are not the easiest but she makes sure to be mindful of their quirks and provides detailed updates and photos. We have used her a handful of times and will continue to reach out to her as needed as she is someone we fully trust with our fur babies. We would highly recommend her!
Kozue was an absolute lifesaver stepping in last minute for us! She is reliable, communicative, and clearly so caring with Niko. The photo updates were amazing, you can truly see how happy and relaxed he is in every shot. It's easy to see he's in great hands with her! Would definitely recommend!
Lilian was great! I was in a bind and needed a dog walker last minute. I’m new to the city so did not have many options. Lilian was very responsive and professional. She came on time with not much notice and left my pup happy and comfortable. I’m so glad to know I now have someone reliable to call on when needed.
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
Cam is just wonderful. She is very friendly and sweet, always goes the extra mile. She has been the only that was able to successfully put the snow booties on my dog. Her dog Jett is very sweet, my dog loves him. She is very reliable and flexible. I recommend her to take care of your pet. We really like her and feel very fortunate to have found her. Thank you Cam.
William took amazing care of our 2 older dogs while we were out of town for a week. We got many updates and pictures every day and could tell they were being very well cared for. He even took time to hang out with them at the house and give them extra love in between walks. This was one of our best dog sitters in recent memory and we will definitely hire again!!
Tiffanie helped me with my pup on very late notice. Was grateful she responded so quickly and was able to take him out while I got stuck at the office. She was very communicative, arrived promptly, and made sure to wipe off his paws from the mud before coming inside.
