Dog Walking Valley Station

About: **If you're new to Rover here's my promo code for $20 off your first request SAMANK93051** Animals make the world a better place. I love being able to work with animals so much. They just make my day brighter. I couldn't imagine life without them. Being able to work with animals every day is a dream come true. Not only do I enjoy doing this so much for myself but my 2 kids and my husband love doing along my side. We all make a wonderful team taking care of fur babies. Your fur baby will always be treated as if they were our own baby in our care. While you are away we will gladly take over on loving on them! I have had the pleasure of working for Rover for 3 years now. Working for Rover I have been around all kinds of fur babies from huge to tiny, from picky eaters to will eat anything lol. Working for Rover has given me the experience to know what to expect when caring for a baby since I've done it so much. I also have been caring for pets of my own for 9 years now. But have grown up around all kinds of animals. My first born son is a Doberman Pincher and he is a pretty big boy. He is the best dog ever! He's is like my shadow and follows me everywhere I go. He's great around other dogs. He will sniff like crazy but after that he just wants to play and go get his blankey. We live in an apartment and getting exercise isn't as easy as it is with families with a yard. But can't let that stop us. I make sure my baby gets the exercise and outside time he wants and needs. So I have made it my duty to help dogs who have the same or different obstacles in their way of enjoying there natural desire to be outside and to get the exercise they need to stay healthy. I am a huge dog lover and will go above and beyond to make sure a dog is happy, seeing them happy makes me happy. My dog has always been there for me and made me happy when I needed him, the least I can do is be there for all animals who need my help in making life more healthy and fun! I am available any day or time during the week and weekends. This is my only job and I am pretty flexible and willing to work with drop off and pick up times. I don't have a yard because I live in an apartment. But I can't let that stop me, I take my dog out to walk and play probably more than I should because we dont have a yard. He is a big boy and exercise is very important for him to stay healthy. So we go for long walks and I have a little yard outside my patio for emergency potty breaks. I also live right by the floor wall so we tend to walk it a lot my dog absolutely loves going up it. I am currently not working any other job so your doggy will be my main focus. I am available any time during the week and weekends just give me a shout and we will make something work. I live in an apartment so I walk my boy to go potty, play, or walk. I have a yard in front of my patio if we have a potty emergency. It is not fenced in so I will NOT have your baby off leash ever. I also can easily crate your baby in my XL crate if need be. E

“Olivia is excellent! She had very thorough updates and communication each day with our pet. She took her time to care for him as if he were her own dog. She sent lots of pictures which we loved. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been a general sitter since I was a teenager. I love learning about a pet’s routine, their personalities, and what keeps them happy! I’m currently pursuing pet sitting and house sitting full time, so I can watch your pets at any time! This includes weekends and curtain holidays. Regular check ins as I’ll make sure your pets are consistently and have learned to know when a pet is sick or in distress. I’ll also keep you updated!

About: I've been in the house/pet sitting business for a couple years now. I've worked in houses with anywhere between one animal to seven animals! I am absolutely open to exotic pets as well as I have a few of my own and would love to meet different species. I also worked in a zoo for 4 years, and currently work in a vets office, so I have plenty of different experiences. I look forward to meeting your babies:) I currently work at a vets office Thursday-Saturday from 9am-5:30pm (1pm on Saturdays), and volunteer Sunday nights, so I would unfortunately not be able to provide around the clock care. Otherwise, I am at the home all day! I am open to frequent walks, brushing, bathing, giving medication, and any other specific needs for your pet! I understand how tedious and picky some animals tend to be, so I'm open to any accommodations necessary.

“Very relaxed meet and greet that showed a lot of competence and skills to adapt. Glad she'll be our walker for a while :)”

About: I'm a freelance artist and mostly work from my laptop, which allows me to hang out with your pet(s) pretty much the entire time. We'll cuddle, and go on walks, and play outside, and I'll give them lots of loving pets. I will also send you frequent photos of them, since I know how stressful it can be to leave them in someone else's care. For me, dog sitting is more than just making some extra money...it's therapy. I am unable to have a dog of my own at this time so I am looking for some dog friends who will help to fill that void. I have yet to meet a dog I didn't like (even the crazy ones), so I'm sure your pet and I will get along swimmingly. I mostly work from home so I will be with your dog most, if not all of the time. I especially love longer stays, but open to just about any length of time. Lots of pets and cuddles! I love taking them on walks, or just hanging out in my fenced backyard. I live near Iroquois park, so that’s also a favorite activity.

“Eleanor continues to provide meaningful care on my Zeke dog’s weekly walks and seamless communication surrounding all walks. We are grateful and happy to have her in our lives - as will you!”

About: Hi! I'm Haylie, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes. I'm based near Florida Ave NE in Washington, D.C., and I proudly serve clients across the DMV including Southeast D.C., Navy Yard, Capitol Hill, NE/SE neighborhoods, and parts of Maryland and Northern Virginia. I grew up surrounded by pets especially dogs and was always the one helping walk, feed, bathe, and care for them. I’ve even assisted dogs and cats during births when I was younger, which gave me deep insight into caring for animals at all life stages. Whether your pet needs a brisk walk, quiet cuddle time, medication, or just dependable daily visits, I’m here to help with care that’s loving, professional, and tailored to your routine. I'm comfortable with: ✔️ Dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes ✔️ Senior pets or those with special medical needs ✔️ Puppies and high-energy pets ✔️ Flexible scheduling and last-minute bookings when available Let’s make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! Pet care is an important part of my daily life. Living near Florida Ave NE, I’m often out walking dogs in Navy Yard or stopping by for quick visits around Capitol Hill and SE D.C. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and flexible with last-minute requests. Caring for dogs and cats isn’t just part of my routine, it shapes it. I love giving pets one-on-one attention and helping busy owners in the DMV feel at ease. I take pet safety and trust seriously, whether caring for pets in your home or mine. I follow all instructions closely, keep spaces clean and secure, and ensure your pet feels comfortable. On walks, I avoid crowded areas and match your dog’s pace. Pets staying with me enjoy a calm, pet-friendly environment. I provide regular updates so you feel connected and confident while you're away.

About: Hi, and thank you for visiting my profile. I have been caring for animals since the age of five and have developed extensive hands-on experience over the years. I currently own and care for a variety of animals, including three horses, two sheep, a dog, three cats, a flying squirrel, and a chinchilla. This diverse background has given me valuable experience in handling pets of all types, sizes, and temperaments. I am confident in my ability to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care to animals of any age or breed. I am also skilled in basic training techniques and can assist with bathing and giving medications as needed. My approach is always patient and respectful, ensuring your pets feel comfortable and safe in my care. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and your beloved pets. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or specific needs. I currently work PRN at the hospital, which means I pick up shifts when I want to! My typical hours when I do work are 7pm–7am. I’m also a full-time nursing student, but even with my busy schedule, I always make time for your pets. I don’t offer boarding in my home just yet, but I’m more than happy to come to your home to care for your pets! If you have ANY questions at all, please don’t hesitate to ask — I’m very responsive and always willing to help. Whether I’m house sitting or just stopping by for a check-in, your dog will get plenty of attention and time outside. I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with pets—whether that means playing, going for walks, or simply relaxing with some snuggles. I believe dogs deserve companionship and stimulation, not long hours confined to a crate. When they’re in my care, they’ll stay active, engaged, and loved—chances are they’ll be happily worn out by the time you return!

About: I'll make sure your animal is well taken care of. I will treat them like my own. From a morning walk to a relaxing night, I'll be there for your animal. For me, fur baby care comes before myself. They get fed when it's time to eat, never late on that. Don't forget the morning treats for those teeth either. I always have an extra leash in my car. No fur baby ever leaves my eye site. I always walk the yard to make sure there is nothing that can harm them.

About: I have years of experience taking care of both dogs and cats, and with housesitting as well. I am able to help support animals who have health concerns, special needs, and anxiety. I can administer medication and give shots as well. I have a senior kitty and an adult age cat myself, so plenty of experience with senior care. And I have experience with dogs of all ages, including puppies and seniors. I am happy to work with any owner to accommodate their pets needs and make them feel comfortable while they are away. I am have nearly full availability the next couple of months, so please reach out and I should be able to accommodate any time frame. I will abide by all house and property rules for the animals safety which includes leashes, fences, walking paths. I am happy to work with owners on what they are most comfortable with. I do not bring pets inside my home as my cats are usually not friendly to that! But I am always happy to stay at others homes.

“Hannah was amazing with our dog. We would highly recommend for your dog’s next walk. Very responsive and communicative.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong attention to detail and the level of care and communication I provide. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I’m experienced with both puppies who need consistency and positive reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may require extra patience, monitoring, or medication. I prioritize clear, ongoing communication by regularly checking in with owners, sending updates and photos, and making sure they feel confident about how their pets are doing. I’m also happy to help with small errands, such as picking up pet supplies or essentials, to make time away as stress-free as possible. I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with care and respect. Not scared of dirty work, cleaning litter boxes, wiping paws and administering meds. I currently work from home part time and have a flexible schedule. So I I have a lot of flexibility, for overnights and dropping by during the day. I provide pet care exclusively in the client’s home, allowing pets to remain comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, dietary needs, exercise, and daily routines. Care includes providing fresh water, playtime, walks if needed, companionship, and administering medications as directed. I also maintain cleanliness by cleaning litter boxes, cages, and pet areas, and I ensure the home is left tidy and secure after each visit. I prioritize the pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being while providing regular updates to owners for peace of mind.

About: I love animals and will treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I will communicate consistently and send photo updates on visits. I do work full time, my current hours rotate Monday through Friday. Weekends are normally free. Due to my rotating work schedule, if you’re able to be flexible with drop in times let me know in the request so I can start planning care. I have two cats who roam around the house as they please. Security is important to me and I always double check doors and ensure nothing is out that may pose a threat to anyone in the house.
