Dog Walking Waverly Hills

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!

“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.”

About: I have experience caring for all kinds of pets and understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, affection, and keeping pets on their normal routine. I have a flexible schedule amd am able to work from home. I genuinely enjoy making pet care part of my daily routine. As a dog and cat owner myself, I'm already used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention and companionship throughout the day. I'm available for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and helping keep your pets comfortable and cared for while you're away. I'll always do my best to accommodate your pet's normal routine and needs, and will treat them as if they were my own. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I treat every animal like they're my own. I always pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, leash safety, and each pet's unique personality and comfort level. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I aim to create a calm, loving, and stress-free environment where they feel safe, secure, and well cared for. I work from home 3 days a week and love walking often—caring for pets fits perfectly into my flexible, animal-loving daily routine! Walks or visits! I follow each pet’s routine closely, providing loving attention, play, walks, clean-ups, and comfort—whether in my home or theirs. Safety and respect always comes first.

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!

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!

About: I have pet-sat for people in my neighborhood for around 10 years. I have watched dogs of all ages and sizes and am flexible with the amount of times you want me to come/what type of care you need for your pets! I can do overnight or drop-in walks! References are available upon request!! I work from home most weekdays and am available on weekends, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pets! I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, and throughout the weekend. I also offer overnight and extended pet sitting, whether that means staying in your home or stopping by multiple times a day. I truly love spending time with animals and have over 10 years of pet-sitting experience. My goal is to make sure your pets feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands!! I have pet sat for dogs of all ages and will adjust my care for your dog based on their needs.

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for many years, and each experience has taught me how to be patient, loving, and responsible. I looked after my sweet poodle for 17 years, especially when she grew older and developed Alzheimer’s. It was a challenging time, but I cared for her with all my heart. I also helped care for dogs adopted by my family. My elderly aunt adopted a street dog named Fred, and since she couldn’t manage walks and vet visits on her own, I was the one who took care of him. Later, my grandmother adopted another rescue named Bruce, and I became his main walking companion because of her limited mobility. Currently, I live with my host family, and they have a wonderful rescue dog named Rosie. Whenever they travel, I’m fully responsible for her care — from walks to cuddles — and she has truly become my best friend. These experiences taught me how to adapt to the unique needs of each dog, whether they’re seniors, rescues, or playful companions. I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I currently have a very flexible routine, which allows me to adapt easily to your pet’s needs. I can adjust my schedule to make sure they’re cared for and happy. When caring for pets, my priority is always their safety and comfort. I make sure to follow their usual routines, from feeding and walks to playtime and rest, so they feel secure and at ease. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and I’m always careful with doors, leashes, and surroundings during walks. Whether in my client’s home or with a pet I’m sitting, I treat their space with respect and keep everything clean and organized. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, so I do everything with responsibility and care.

“Amanda is incredibly responsible, thoughtful, and such a dog person. Rosie was in love with her at first sight. Lucky to have her as part of my "dog team."”

About: I recently started dog walking and love it - also love cats too! I'm pretty patient, and I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I'm currently in between jobs, so I have a lot of time to cat sit, dog walk, or pet sit - ideally looking to care for pets in the Arlington, Alexandria, DC area. Anywhere that I can either walk to or get to by metro! I'll make sure your pet gets enough play time, regular walks, stays hydrated and fed :) Happy to host at my place or be in the pet's home environment.

“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’ve taken care of my own dogs since I was 8. Since then, I’ve started watching my neighbors dogs along with my own three dogs. I’m enjoying my last summer before starting work full time, so I am available at all hours of the day to care for your fur babies! I provide the utmost attention to all the dogs that I watch. I believe that it’s important to not only provide food, bathroom care, and water, but also lots of love and attention to each animal.

About: I’ve had multiple pets throughout my life- ranging from gerbils to birds to dogs. I love all animals and find joy in taking care of them. I have experience with my Pomeranian and have dog sat anywhere from tiny French Bulldogs to large Pit-bulls. Each dog has their own personality and I love that about them. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and helped with dog adoption events. I am a huge softy for cuddlers, but also understand that not all dogs like that (for example my Pomeranian, Ricky). While I do not have much experience with cats, I will play with them as much as they allow! I promise your pet could not be left in more caring hands! I am very responsible and will take great care of your furry friend!

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.
