About: I am a respectful and caring dog lover, who will treat your pup like my own—ensuring they are safe, happy, and well loved while you are away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around walk times, feeding, play, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening feedings, I’m consistent, dependable, and always ready to give them love and care. In my client’s home, I follow their pet’s routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they’re fed on time, get regular walks or play sessions, and have plenty of attention and affection. I keep their space clean, follow any special instructions, and always respect the home as if it were my own.

About: What sets me apart is my deep, lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience with pets of all ages. I currently care for 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own, and I’ve never gone a day without tending to an animal. I’m especially patient with senior pets and gentle with shy or anxious animals. I’m also comfortable with basic puppy training, medication administration, and special care routines. Your pet will be treated like one of my own—with love, attention, and respect every step of the way. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I plan my day around feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and giving each pet one-on-one attention. With 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own, I’m constantly in tune with their needs, from early morning potty breaks to evening cuddle time. Caring for animals isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s just how I live my life. Whether it’s a quick check-in or an overnight stay, I’m fully committed to giving every pet the love and care they deserve. At my home, pets enjoy a little over an acre of land with a fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe outdoor play, exercise, and exploring. The space allows dogs to run freely and burn off energy in a secure, supervised environment. Inside, the atmosphere is calm, clean, and pet-friendly, with cozy spaces for rest, play, and feeding. I understand and respect the importance of crate training—I crate my own dogs when I’m not home to ensure their safety and comfort. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I always follow routines closely and provide a safe, loving, and structured environment where pets feel right at home.

About: I have 2 dogs of my own who i’ve taken care of since I was 10 years old. They are both very needy to say the least, so I’ve got experience with dogs that can be over excited/energetic. I’ve trained my dogs to do many things as well as my friends’ and family’s dogs. I recently graduated from Virginia Tech. I’ve decided to take gap year, so I’m free pretty much every day of the week and weekends for most of the time. I have a fenced in yard that i typically play with my dogs in, and i also take my dogs to tennis courts and parks to run around and have fun in!

“Natasha was very kind and a wonderful walker. She took great care of my dog and was more than willing to continue doing walks with minimal notice to help me out. Natasha was always on time and always left me a review on how the walk went!”

I especially appreciated the adorable pictures and updates—such a thoughtful touch that made me feel at ease. You can tell she truly cares about the dogs she walks. I also really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to help out last minute. Highly recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and professional dog walker. Thank you again!”

About: Hello! I love all types of pets and currently have two dogs of my own. I am a student at Virginia-Maryland college of veterinary medicine trying to earn some extra money by doing what I love, playing with pets. I have experience with all types of pets at varying sizes and personalities. During my undergraduate career, I raised two Seeing Eye Dogs and helped other raisers with training. During this time, I worked at a veterinary hospital, participated in animal specific events like vaccination clinics, and groomed. From healthy puppies and kittens to seniors who need medication, I have seen it all and am prepared to help with whatever your pet needs. I hope I can meet your fur babies and shower them with love while your away. As someone who owns two dogs, pet care is a priority in my life. Both of my pups get plenty of one-on-one time as well as long walks and enrichment in the house. During the day, the pups are crated while I am at school, but if my boyfriend is off of work they get to run around and play. As soon as I get home the dogs get taken out and fed. Along with daily care, I take care of all of their grooming and medical needs as well. I currently live in apartment complex which has a dog play area for your furry friends to get plenty of exercise. There is also a trail connected to the complex which will be utilized for long walks and plenty of sniffing opportunities. Both of my pups are very friendly and would be happy to be your pet’s playmate during their stay.

About: Hi there! My name is Lacy, I've taken care of all different shapes and sizes of pets since I was very young. I worked at a doggy day care for a year, as well as a dog walking company in Los Angeles where I took 5-6 dogs at a time for walks/hikes. I have some experience with simple obedience training, such as proper leash manners and basic commands like sit, stay, wait & come. I will be happy to take your dogs on walks or hikes, I'm also happy to take care of cats, birds, rabbits, hamsters, reptiles, etc. Let me know if I can help! Thanks! I currently work part time and I’m in my third semester of nursing school, currently taking online classes. My schedule varies from month to month but I will gladly help care for your fur babies whenever I can! My current living situation isn’t set up for me to keep pets at my home but I would love to take care of them in their own environment where they already feel comfortable and are familiar with the area!

“Lisa has been absolutely wonderful to work with. She is so sweet and gentle with our boy, Ollie. She has been willing to make a long commute to help us, while we’ve been in a pinch for a sitter asap. Her kindness goes a long way🩷”

“Anissa has been so reliable and my pups absolutely love her visits during the day! She is so attentive and always makes sure to contact me if she has any questions or concerns regarding the dogs. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker for their pups!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since middle school and have over 7 years of experience with pups and cats of all ages and temperaments. As a landscape architecture student at Virginia Tech, I love spending time outside and staying active—whether that means long walks, hikes, or just backyard playtime. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I treat every animal with patience, joy, and genuine care. I currently take classes from 8 in the morning until 12 pm, so I am available from 6-7am and 1-6pm M-F and 10am-5pm Saturday and Sunday! I do my best to make your pet feel comfy and cared for, whether I’m hanging out at your place or taking them for a walk. I’ll follow whatever routine you’ve got and use whatever leash or gear you prefer. If your pup needs to be crated at certain times, I’ve got no problem with that—and I’ll make sure they’re settled and relaxed. I’m also comfortable giving meds if needed, just let me know the details :)

About: I have 2 dogs of my own. I got my first dog when I was about 9 or 10. I was a teen leader in the Dog Project in 4H for 2 years. I currently work at a Dog Training Kennel, so I'm handling many dogs every day. I care for my dogs anytime I'm home. Since I work at a Kennel, caring for and playing with dogs is a regular. I am not too sure when I am free, since the schedule changes each month, but most weekends are doable and sometimes weekdays. I will make sure your dog feels as safe as possible. My main priority here is making a fun and comfortable environment while they are away from their owners.

“Very happy with Riane walking my boy murphy. She was right on time and great communication. Never worried when he was with her and knew he was in good, caring and loving hands.”
