Dog Walking Tara-Leeway Heights

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!

“Thanks for accommodating so last minute and taking great care of our pup. Timely, responsive, and our guy loved him.”

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs all my life! I am experienced with reactive dogs as well! I am about to get a puppy myself in my home! Please consider that if you intend on boarding with me. I work remote so I am able to drop by and let your pet out/ play/ walk your pet as needed! I understand feeling guilty about letting your pet be home alone all day and I’m here to help! I also am experienced with reactive dogs too! I will be getting a puppy July 2026 as well so please take that into consideration when booking boarding. I will always be cautious of entering your home and leaving your home to prevent any type of escapes and make sure that they are content before I leave and make sure nothing is in reach to maximum safety!

“Spencer and Julia have been amazing. So glad we found them! Our pup is always happier on walk days with these two. Would recommend to anyone.”

“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.”

“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!”

“I was impressed with Daniel right from the start! He is a very humble, respectful, responsible, kind young man who loves animals. My dog Sophie immediately took to him and she would have great walks with him. I asked a lot from Daniel when I went on holiday…and he delivered! He came to my home for 10 days to not only walk my dog but also feed her…give her medicine, and as a bonus, he played with her. Socializing w Sophie went a long way because she was alone most of the time. He would always be on time and, when another dog walker canceled, he quickly covered that shift. No questions or higher charge. He sent a lot of photos too. Since I’ve been back from my holiday, I’ve been in poor health. I texted Daniel and he is now my dog walker on days when I’m unable to take Sophie out myself. Again, punctual & always thinking about what’s best for my dog…. For example, He remembers to dry Sophie’s paws when they arrive from a walk in the snow or rain. I highly recommend Daniel as your dog walker or sitter.”

About: I have been pet sitting and walking for 11 years. My neighbors and friends have trusted me to care for, walk, and feed their pets! I am a graduate student at Virginia Tech's Arlington campus. This summer I will be working remotely with plenty of time to care for your pet! Unfortunately I cannot care for your pets in my own home because our landlord does not allow pets however I am happy to care for them in your home!

“Woodstock! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of him during his walk. I appreciated the update and felt confident he was in good hands. I’d be happy to book Jennifer again and highly recommend her.”

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

“Brittany walked my dog Karuna every afternoon during a busy work week for me. She was very communicative and shared details from every walk. I’m grateful for the attention she gave Karuna and Karuna is very thankful for all the belly rubs!”

“Lexy and Robert have been so great! They’re incredibly communicative and flexible, always on time and write great notes, and our dog is so happy and good with them. We’re very happy to have found them.”

About: I've had loads of experience with dogs of many breeds and ages! My family dog was deaf & blind so I also have experience with dogs with varying need levels! I have one dog in home named Biscuit (8yr old male cavapoo) I also take care of cats!! I work in pastry so I am up early (3/4am) and am home by 2pm every day! My days off vary each week- just feel free to reach out to me and let me know what you're looking for! I have one very friendly dog in home, he is fully crate trained and can be kept in a separate room if needed! I live just a few blocks from the swampoodle dog park so we can always walk and play there! :) I have plenty of dog toys, food/water bowls, etc in home if needed as well

“Selina has been fantastic with my dog, Milo. He’s a big dog and can be a little tuggy on walks, but she handled him with confidence and always made his safety and comfort her top priority. She went above and beyond by making sure he always had food, water, and treats after his walks, and she sent tons of updates, photos, and videos that gave me so much peace of mind throughout the day. She’s also incredibly flexible and easy to work with, which made everything seamless. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs and treats every one of them like her own. I trust her completely with Milo, and I can’t recommend her enough.”

About: I grew up with a German Shepherd, so I know firsthand how much our pets become part of the family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and little quirks—and I’ll make sure your pet gets the care and attention that’s right for them. I also participated in getting my dog trained so I understand the patience and dedication they deserve. I’m currently a nurse, which means I’m naturally responsible, attentive, and used to following routines and instructions carefully. My schedule varies, but that actually gives me a lot of availability on weekdays. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. As a nurse, I’m comfortable paying attention to details, sticking to schedules, communicating clearly, and staying calm when something unexpected comes up. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals! I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages during visits or stays, because I know it’s reassuring to see your happy pup while you’re away.

“Juan has been super reliable, friendly, and good with managing our dog. He is very responsive to texts and goes out of his way to update us on how things go on his walks with our dog!”

Jahred L.

“Sophie has been excellent and our dog absolutely loves her! She is kind and considerate and we know our dog is in good hands when Sophie comes over. Would totally recommend her as a dog walker to anyone!”

Connor B.

“Mae is very friendly and caring to my dog . She takes her time and handles the dog well . Would definitely recommend her to others in need of her services .”

About: I grew up with a Newfoundland which made me very comfortable and loving of large breed dogs! I also spend a lot of time with an adorable dachshund! I believe being around this range of sizes has made me aware of their needs and specific care and how they differ. I’m an animal lover and will take care of your dog as if it’s my own! I work from home three days a week with a flexible schedule that allows for walks or potty breaks and some much needed play time! I live in a first floor apartment with grass all around! The space is cleaned frequently and easy for a dog to roam around. It’s right across the street from big area with grass to run around in and a very walkable spot or Arlington! There are no other animals in the home.

About: Growing up I always owned animals as I love all kinds of animals from big to small. It was always my dream to own a dog or a cat and ever since getting my very first dog in middle school, I learned a lot about what it takes to give love and handle an animal with care and attention. I would love to take care of your animal just as if it were my own as I own a cat myself and am fostering cats when I can. I am also an active volunteer for the rescue organization here in nova called 4paws. I believe that all animals deserve the best. I have several years of experience taking care of animals/pets and will follow any specific needs that your pet requires. I will promise to go above and beyond for your pet to make sure that you and your pet are more than happy! I currently take care of my cat at home. I work from home as well so I have plenty of time to drop in for visits or walks. I enjoy volunteering at the shelter when I have time and doing Rover requests as I get them. I provide a lot of toys and cat trees at home for my own cat and will make sure your pet is provided all of their needs.
