Dog Walking Williamsburg

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and grew up with everything from Yorkies to German Shepherds and Goldens. I’ve also cared for dogs on and off since I was 18, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom and, unfortunately, this just isn’t the right time for our family to have a dog of our own. Rover gives me a chance to get some much-needed dog time while giving someone else’s pup a little extra love and attention—which, for me, is a pretty great trade! I really try to meet each dog where they are. If your pup wants a friend to play with, I’m happy to play. If they’re older, shy, or just happiest with some calm company and a good belly rub, I’m equally happy doing that. I pay close attention to behavior and will always communicate if I notice even a subtle change that I think you should know about. I also believe you know your dog better than anyone. I’ll respect your routines, rules, training, and preferences and care for your dog the way you’ve asked me to—not the way I think it should be done. Safety always comes first. Dogs stay securely leashed with me, I avoid interactions with other dogs unless you’ve specifically told me otherwise, keep an eye on what they’re getting into, avoid hot pavement, and double-check doors and gates. I do ask that any history of aggression be shared with me so I can keep both your dog and myself safe. I’m home during the day and have flexible availability for early-morning walks (even before 7!), daytime visits while you’re at work, and evenings. And fair warning: if you’re the kind of dog parent who loves getting pictures, you’ve found the right person. I will happily take a million. 😊 EM As a stay-at-home mom, my schedule is fairly flexible and pet care fits naturally into my day. I’m available for early-morning walks (including before 7 a.m.), daytime walks and drop-ins while you’re at work, and evening visits. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, so getting outside for a walk or stopping in to give a pup some attention is something I look forward to—not just another task on my schedule. Your pet’s safety and your trust are my top priorities. In your home, I’ll always respect your routines, rules, and instructions—you know your pet best, and I believe their care should stay as familiar and consistent as possible. I’m very safety-conscious. I double-check doors and gates, keep dogs securely leashed on walks, avoid interactions with other dogs unless you’ve specifically told me otherwise, and pay close attention to my surroundings and to your dog’s behavior. I’m also careful about things like hot pavement and anything they may try to pick up along the way. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet with patience and genuine kindness. Whether they want to play and burn off some energy or just need calm company, affection, and a belly rub, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’ll also keep you updated and let you know if I notice anything unusual—even a small change in behavior.

“Our pup loves Landrum! He’s punctual, communicative, friendly, professional and FUN! Thanks for the walks in May!”

“Mitzi, you were wonderful with Margaux and our current situation with Gerry’s recovery. Thank you for being so patient, reliable and kind! ♥️”

“Kaleigh was absolutely amazing with my dog Cashew. He was recently adopted and we found out day of that he was anxious about being walked by someone different than me, but Kaleigh spent so much extra time building trust and making sure he was comfortable. She didn’t force anything, didn’t give up, and ended up being able to get him to walk in the end! I’m truly so grateful for her patience, kindness, and dedication to making Cashew feel safe. Would definitely book with her again!”

“Jill is great. She’s on time and checks in with us to let us know how our puppy is doing. She spends quality time walking and playing with our very energetic puppy. We never really have to worry about Skittles and how he’s doing when Jill is taking care of him.”

“So kind, patient and caring for Maddie”

“Thanks so much Elizabeth! Elizabeth was super communicative, on time and professional! We will schedule again when needed!”

“Raven is great! I highly recommend her for your dog walking or pet sitting needs. This was our first time formally working together for a week’s worth of dog walking while I was out of town, but I was happy we already coordinated a “meet & greet” previously before needing these services. Raven arrived promptly every day and also gave great updates from the dog walks. It made us feel great to know our pup Autumn was so well taken care of! We will definitely work with Raven in the future.”

About: I’ve been watching my own dogs for almost my whole life, ensuring they are stimulated and well cared for. I also have watched and cared for cats, cleaning their litter daily and playing with them. As a college student, I have a lot of time available over the week, making it easier for me to have more pets to watch over. I care for any pet as I would my own, being gentle, kind, and most importantly ensuring the pets safety and comfortability in all situations.

About: I have taken care of dogs since before I can remember. I grew up fostering animals and have been on Rover for years! I am a former college athlete who simply enjoys the company of a furry friend. I have had lots of experience with all types of dogs, and I will always put your dog's needs first. I am well organized, responsible, caring and alert. I am really just looking to love and care for a dog while keeping good care of your home! I have a car and am able to take your dog to their favorite places! If they want to go on a hike I’d love to go with them, or if they just want to sniff their favorite smells in the neighborhood I’ll make sure they find them. I always put their needs before mine - making sure they’re comfortable and having fun! I am currently looking for my next job (I quit and moved home to dc) so I can provide your pet my full undivided attention! I provide a loving and comforting energy to all. I also understand the anxiety dogs get from being around new people/spaces, so I am very caring.

“Haley was wonderful with our older dog. She was prompt, gentle and caring. Our dog was well taken care of while we were away. Highly recommend Haley.”

About: For me, pets are more than animals — they’re family. I believe every pet deserves patience, affection, attention, and care that makes them feel safe and loved. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s unique routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same kindness and respect I’d want for my own, and I’ll do my best to make every visit a happy one! I balance pet care with my regular work schedule and make an effort to be dependable, organized, and communicative with every pet parent. I can coordinate visits, walks, and sitting around my availability, including evenings and weekends when arranged in advance. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I’ll do my best to follow their normal feeding, walking, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’ll also keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring hands! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll take the time to understand their personality, habits, feeding instructions, and any special needs before caring for them. I’m happy to follow your house rules, keep doors and gates secure, use leashes properly, and make sure your pet has fresh water and a clean, comfortable environment. I also believe communication matters, so I’ll gladly send photo updates and messages to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Every pet deserves to feel safe, respected, and loved!
