About: I owned a dog for most of my life. My dog sadly passed away after fifteen great years of happiness! I watch my friend's dogs when they go out of town because I'm usually always reliable and do most of my work inside my home. I am not lazy with taking dogs on walks and I care for pets like they are my own :) I am a stay at home mom to a 2 year old so I am always home to care for your loved one. We have a fenced backyard and lots of areas to walk. I can be flexible about what your pet needs. If you would prefer them in a crate at night I’d be happy to do that but usually I love having your pets roam around my townhouse and our fenced yard!
About: I’ve always owned both dogs and cats, currently having a senior cat. I have plenty of experience giving medication as well as dog walking. I have also dog sat overnight a couple of times for neighbors. I take care of my own cat and fish daily. However, I can always make time to care for your furry friend when you can’t! I make time to bond with them to ensure I have their trust, making them feel safe! I constantly survey my surroundings to ensure the safest possible environment for myself and animals. While walking dogs, taking safe routes and avoiding other dogs when needed. At home, making sure pets feel safe and have a clean home to relax in!
“Matt is a great walker for Nala. He is able to work with dogs who have anxiety and provides positive encouragement for Nala. In time, Nala has come to enjoy their walks together and now she speeds through them. Thank you, Matt, for everything!”

“Rachel has walked Winston two times now and done an excellent job, with thorough reporting of their activities! I'd rebook her every time I need a walk, if I could.”

“Carly was absolutely fantastic caring for our dog, Kongo, while we were away on vacation. She was consistently timely, punctual, responsible, and extremely responsive throughout the entire process. Most importantly, Kongo absolutely loved her, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while traveling. What truly stood out was Carly’s professionalism and calm demeanor when she unexpectedly had to deal with a malfunctioning smoke alarm at our home during our trip. She handled the situation confidently and without hesitation, acting as though it was no inconvenience at all — despite it being something far beyond what should normally be expected of a dog walker. Knowing Carly was caring for Kongo made our vacation far more relaxing and enjoyable. We are incredibly grateful for her reliability, kindness, and dedication. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and exceptional pet care. Five stars all the way!”

“We have a very anxious little pup and were a bit worried he wouldn't warm up to a stranger, but Ian was up for the challenge! He left us detailed notes, so we knew he spent some time working to get Rhett to warm up to him -- and it worked! Very thankful we didn't have to worry about our little guy at all :)”

About: I have cared for my pup Java at all stages of life, from his energetic puppy phase (which brought our house many gifts of dead squirrels or chickens) to his current slow moving (and less critter hunting) old age. I love walking dogs and will even take them on my runs if they’re the active type. Whatever type of activity that suits them I can do - from backyard playtime to a run through a park! I am a student off for the summer with no other job… I have endless free time and definitely need something to keep me busy!! I will care for your pet the way that you as the owner prefer. While my dog can go off-leash in grassy areas I understand that not all are the same and will follow the instructions you give! I do not have a fenced in yard but can take your pup to a nearby dog park if they’re off-leash time is what they like!
“Elyse has been reliable and communicative. My two cats and small dog are comfortable around her and enjoy her visits! Thanks, Elyse, for helping me with my fur babies :)”

“Lori is excellent! My pup and I are so thankful for her. She is trustworthy! My pup has bad allergies and is epileptic (a lot going on, I know!), but Lori has such confidence with it all. I will absolutely use her again!”

“Isela took great care of Max and gave him much comfort while I was away. I chose to do this at the last minute never doing anything like this before and it was a wonderful experience. Thank you, Isela!”

“It's a pleasure to be rebooking with Kaitlyn and Auston!! They are reliable and provide excellent communication (including asking questions I forget to provide information for first)!”

“Lenny did a great job taking our 2 Great Danes on daily walks. The girls really like her and were very excited when she arrived every day. It is apparent how much Lenny likes animals and her enthusiasm and care for them really shows.”

About: Hi, I'm Rachel! I grew up in Alexandria, Virginia but recently moved back after living in the UK for 5 years! While moving back, I did bring my 4 year old Basset Hound/Labrador mix - Bruce - with me! I grew up around dogs, and have never been without one. Personally, I wouldn't know a life without a dog or a cat. Life is too quiet. This is why I began to dally in pet care, because I know just how important a pet is, and they deserve company, care, love and play at all times. I currently work part-time at a small store, but am also using my free time to write my first book! I just moved back to the Alexandria area with my own dog, and love learning about new walking routes. In my home, pets are allowed on the furniture and spoiled rotten. I have a basket of toys that is always open, and have a variety of different treats or different dietary needs.

Brittany is an incredibly reliable and trustworthy dog walker! When our regular dog walker moved out of the area, I was nervous about finding someone new we could truly trust, but Brittany immediately stepped in and has taken such great care of our dog. She’s dependable, communicative, and always sends the sweetest updates and adorable photos after each walk. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our dog is in such good hands. I truly can’t recommend her enough!

Jhonathan took excellent care of my pug when I was out of town for a few days. He came over multiple times a day, fed him, and made sure to tell me he was okay by sending me updates. I couldn’t be more thankful to Jhonathan. He’s my go to person to take care of my senior pug.
