“Morgan was very reliable and responsive, and communicative, and both of my cats clearly liked her, including my younger cat, who is typically extremely shy, and hides when strangers/new people enter the apartment, but he started coming out and wanting pets from her within a day or so. The only thing I'd ask is for Morgan to add a little more cat litter to the litter boxes, which were getting low, but that's being very picky, and I would absolutely hire her again.”

“Aly was so great! She was available last minute and took such good care of my cat. She was thoughtful, asked questions, and was responsive. Would highly recommend her !!”

“We needed someone on short notice and Alexandria responded immediately. She was friendly, easy to communicate with, and made the process stress-free. She was great with our 8-month-old rescue, Poppy, who’s still adjusting and can be reactive on leash. Alexandria was patient and understanding, handling Poppy thoughtfully. We loved the photos and report card after each visit and would definitely book Alexandria again—Poppy would be happy to see her too!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Arlington
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pup like family while you're away. I work from home full-time, so your dog will always have company and lots of cuddles throughout the day. - I only host one client at a time, so you dont have to worry about unfamiliar dogs during their stay. -Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or a slower-paced routine, I’m happy to match their needs. -I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I also have experience with dogs with separation anxiety and food or environmental allergies. 📷 You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. **I live in an apartment building, so I can't safely accommodate large dogs that are reactive to people or other dogs, since it's not possible to completely avoid encounters in shared spaces.** I can accommodate regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins, and I’m able to adjust my routine to meet your dog’s needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I follow all care instructions, use leashes on walks, and provide a calm, secure environment with regular updates.

Zoe did not want to leave when I picked her up, which is a first. Leila is a dog whisperer! Thank you for your kindness and the adorable photos. Immediately had peace of mind knowing Zoe was in great care w/ a loving sitter. My girl Zoe can be a bit high maintenance but Leila never made me feel like an inconvenience. I highly recommend Leila to care for your fur baby.”

About: My name is Sumedh T. I have been an animal lover since I was a kid, taking care of my friends’ dogs often. I enjoy spending time with dogs- taking them out for walks, playing games, teaching them new tricks and commands, and understanding their different personalities and behaviors. I volunteered at a dog shelter where I fed, cleaned, and cared for various breeds of dogs. I’m very excited that my wife and I are planning to adopt a rescue in the next year, our neighborhood is very walkable and pet friendly. Professionally, I am a software engineer and in my free time I love playing video games, cooking, traveling, dog-walking/sitting, and I’ve recently taken up biking. I work from home, so I have the flexibility to monitor and attend to the needs of the dogs I’ve boarded throughout the day. I am able to take breaks for dog walks in the morning and the evening. While boarding I’m able to constantly able to watch the pet. Outside of the home I am always on the lookout for any type of sign from the pet and am able to react quickly.
“Isabella was wonderful with Rolo! She was very sweet, patient, and made sure he felt comfortable the whole time. We really appreciated her care and the updates. Would happily book with her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since before I can remember! My family has three dogs at home (all lab mixes) and they are the best. I have experience with puppy energy to older dogs. I work full-time remote at the moment so I’m flexible for care times. I also have time on afternoons and weekends as well for pet care. I have experience with crating pets, feeding, and administering special medication. I’ve dealt with dogs with anxiety in the past as well as over friendly dogs.
“Corey and Nyla were great with Lola and Coco. They put me at ease with their experience, approach and good communication.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. As the owner of a senior Great Dane, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and providing attentive care tailored to each dog’s individual needs. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, sticking to a routine, or simply having someone nearby for companionship, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and treat every pet with the same care, attention, and respect that I give my own. My goal is to provide reliable care and peace of mind so both you and your dog have a positive experience. I work in education and am currently on summer break through the end of August, which gives me a flexible schedule for dog walking. I'm available throughout the day on weekdays and can often accommodate last-minute requests. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable caring for your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. Every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, energy level, and any preferences or instructions you have. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure your dog has a positive experience on every walk. Whether your dog enjoys a relaxed stroll or needs to burn off some energy, I'll make sure they get the exercise and attention they need while keeping you updated along the way.

“Simply AMAZING! I was overhearing in my room and she didn’t know I was home. When she came in to pick up my pup for a walk she was patient and made sure he had water in his bowl before the walk so when he comes back he can have water. She goes over and beyond and I am so grateful!”

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 6 years old, growing up with a Golden Retriever and a German Shepherd. I’m now 22 and have spent years caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Though I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I treat every pup like they’re family and will give them their home away from home! I currently work full time, but most of my work is done from home. I love staying active, so taking dogs on walks and playing with them is something I truly enjoy and prioritize. I have a fenced yard and a cozy, dog-friendly home with plenty of toys and beds for your pup to enjoy. Your pet’s comfort and safety will always come first with me!
“Josephine is amazing walking our two doggies! They are a little tricky to deal with and she always takes the best care of them! One of our dog’s used to bark so much at her and now she has really calmed down because Josephine talks to her and pets her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker! :)”

“Lexi was great! This was our first Rover experience and Lexi took the time to come do a meet and greet prior to our first walk, which was great so she could meet our dog and chat through his quirks. :) She was very communicative, timely and left great notes and pics. Looking forward to booking with Lexi again soon!”
