“The highlight of Chloe's day is her morning walk with "Miss Evie."”
“Marina was fantastic with Jasper, and very helpful and willing to walk him at the last minute. We brought Jasper home on a weekend and had not yet set up services with a regular dog, so it was a bit of an emergency and Marina was very understanding and warm with him! From the pictures she sent each day, he looked like he was having a great time with her. Jasper would love to spend time with Marina again, anytime!”
About: I've taken care of dogs for around 7 years as I've walked, played, or house-sat my own dog and my neighbors dogs and had a blast doing it. I am available most late mornings and afternoons, weekends are hard because I have soccer reffing for the whole day each day and it would be hard to squeeze a dog walk in. I can easily settle dogs down, crate dogs, and make them feel relaxed without stress when they sense danger or something is off. I am able to control them no matter the strength they have.
“Alison has been reliable week after week. She is a great communicator and, most importantly, Lottie loves her. We will miss her when we move!!”
“Sammi is very kind and takes great care of our little dog. Her love of animals really shows. She responds quickly to communications and provides helpful feedback after each walk.”
“Isabelle walks my goldendoodle furchild every day and she’s such an important part of Maya’s life. To start, she’s super communicative and reliable, which makes it really easy to plan and coordinate walks and dogcare with her. She was also great about learning what behaviors we try to reinforce, Maya’s habits and routines and what Maya eats, which gives me the warm and fuzzies that as a parent, aunt Isabelle is staying consistent with dad’s rules. Isabelle is so great with dogs and has good judgment generally; seeing how she interacts with Maya and hearing her describe how Maya did on a given walk, I trust her implicitly. Lately she’s been really helpful in figuring out fun new walking routes or destinations that cater to Maya’s interests and mood and energy level. Yep Isabelle is a wonderful dog “auntie” and just a delightful human being. I don’t know what her advertised rates are on here, but you should pay them and then some. Isabelle, get after it girl. Charge people what you’re worth! ?”
“Molly did a great job walking/visiting our goldendoodle this week! She was really responsive, left great messages and photos, and gave our pup the love and attention she needed. We will book her again!”
“Sean and Colleen are amazing. They took time out of there day to meet us before we booked. Met our dog and answered any questions we had. They took plenty of pics. I highly recommended Colleen and Sean.”
“Amy was fantastic. Came early in day to meet Pepper and sent pictures of Pepper after her walk. Will definitely contact her again.”
About: Hello! I have been the caretaker of my family’s 15 year old Boston terrier/Jack Russel terrier until moving to Virginia about a month ago. I also used to see my fiancé’s mom’s 3 cats on a near daily basis. Since moving up here, I have been really missing spending time with a furry friend! Looking forward to having more time surrounded by the cutest companions! I currently work remote for an AI Tech start up (yes buzzword city!). I have the luxury of lots of free time throughout the day perfect for a good dog walk or check-in! I often have my weekly schedule in stone about a week in advance. I live in an apartment with a dog walk path and with 0.2 miles of the W&OD trail! Our complex also has a dog washing station and lots of treats. I am happy to spend the day with your pooch at my apartment or potentially take calls from your home if you need a day sitter.
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets since I was a young girl, but I definitely gained more experience with my special needs cat and dog! I currently have a somewhat flexible work and school schedule so I can dedicate time to caring for your pet(s) on weekdays and weekends, too! Since I have had experience with pets my entire life, I am more than equipped to deal with any pets ranging from shy to not!

I am able to make time for more unusual timings. I make sure to take care of whatever needs the client requires. I am able to stay over to housesit and petsit. Typically for dogs I will walk them twice a day unless otherwise specified. For cats, I will hang out with them and do any necessary care.
“Another great experience—Megan did a week for us and even added an extra walk for us one day due to my house sitter being unavailable for that time. Lifesaver!! She is a great communicator and my dogs were so excited to walk with her!”
“Justin is very responsive and in time. He is very patient and gentle with my brand new puppy. My puppy can be stubborn on walks and Justin makes sure the puppy makes his potty breaks. Highly recommend.”

“Our pups thoroughly enjoyed their time with Josie! She is a true professional, a great communicator, and gave our pups the love, attention, and exercise they deserve.”
About: As a dedicated former dog owner who has raised and trained two 90+ pound German Shepherds, I understand the importance of structure, exercise, and affection in a dog's life. I said goodbye to my first boy in 2021 and it's now a year since saying goodbye to my second. I'm not yet ready to take on full dog ownership but I'm truly missing the companionship and joy that dogs bring to my day. While I may be new to pet sitting, I bring years of hands-on experience with high-energy, strong-willed dogs, ensuring your pup is in capable and caring hands. Whether it's a long walk, playtime, or overnight care, I’ll treat your furry friend like family. I work full time so am available some weekday hours from 6:30pm - 9 pm but have open and flexible availability throughout the weekend, starting Friday evening after 6:30 pm through Sunday evening 9pm. I understand the importance of routine and as well as explicit needs for a dog. For example, my Shepherds didn't play 30 minutes before or after a meal. You can count on me to carry out specific instructions or restrictions. Also, having raised and trained an often misunderstood breed, I am highly aware of dog behaviors, body language, and potential triggers. I stay alert in all situations to ensure the safety and comfort of both your dog and those around us. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, or strong-willed, I am confident in handling dogs of all temperaments with patience and care.
About: I have a lifetime of experience with dog care and have cared for many pets throughout the years. I currently have a 10 year old senior black lab who is my best friend! As an experienced and reliable pet sitter and walker, I will care for your pets as my own. I’m experienced in taking care of dogs in all stages of life from puppies to seniors, comfortable administering medicine, and special dietary needs. I will work with you as a pet parent to prioritize your pet’s individual needs and routine! Please reach out and message me to begin working together. I’m widely available for regular walks and pet sitting services. I look forward to working with you and your fur baby! I’m widely available for walking and pet sitting services throughout the week! I am available from 9-7pm for walking and sitting. If you need overnight or sitting services at different hours, please message me to inquire! Your pet’s safety and care is my top priority! I will ensure your pet sticks to any routines you may have and stays happy and healthy. I have a senior black lab who prefers peace and quiet, so I prefer to pet sit at the client’s home. For pet sitting services at the client’s home, I will ensure I care for your pet in the same way you do!

Elizabeth G.
“Elizabeth is a dog person through and through. She is kind,patient,attentive and loving to the dogs she has cared for. She has always been very observant to the needs of her dogs. I have witnessed Elizabeth host (on separate occasions) a shitsu, a boxer, a husky and 2 chihuahua with her late 100lb+ German shepherd. Because of her calm energy, the dogs were relaxed and enjoyed their stay. Your dogs will make a new friend in Elizabeth and you will too.”
Abegail A.
“Abby has a natural, unwavering love for dogs. She knows exactly how to cater to their needs —especially with senior dogs. She treats every dog as her own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. My dog is pretty picky with people, but he absolutely adores and trusts her. Any dog in her care is truly in the best hands possible.”
