“Lola is great! She is very trustworthy & reliable, and took great care of my best buddy while I was going into the office for work! We greatly appreciated the help and will certainly reach back out in the future.”
“Stephen H did an exceptional job walking our 2 dogs. He came on shorter notice than I would normally provide due to a family emergency. He was always punctual and brought sunshine to the dogs and their owners. He trained our 3 y/o greyhound mix to walk on a leash in 3 days. He took care of the dogs so well that I will always go to him first for future dog walking jobs. Thank you, Stephen H.”
“Maddy was once again wonderful. Always communicating with me well and going above and beyond to help when my pups when she was sick! Will definitely book again in future :)”
About: I always had dogs since I was a little girl,that is why I became a dog sitter. I can take care of dogs every kind. If you have a puppy, I’m happy to do the potty training,if your dog is senior with any health issues I can give medication no problem. I’m currently a stay at home mom,so I can be here with your four legged best friend all day and pay attention all they need.We would spend time in the backyard playing ball,but because I’m a very active person we can go for walks anytime of the day in my beautiful neighborhood. I live in a beautiful house on an acre with fenced yard. I’m here to make sure to give the best attention and best care.So if you want your baby to be in a beautiful resort like my house,in and out,you can be sure they will have the best time with me.
About: I took care of my neighbors dogs while she was away. I've house sat before and I enjoy long and or short walks with any dog! I'm home from school for the summer so I have plenty of free time to walk and over house sit! I'm free in the mornings and afternoon, 7 days a week. I can walk your dog as far as you would like and will spend as much time with your dog as necessary! I enjoy staying active and don't mind taking your dog for runs as well!
“I had the pleasure of having Lilly, walk my Dog Simon 3-4xs a week for 2 months. She was always punctual on timing and if she was ever running behind she would make sure to give a notice. Most importantly I enjoyed seeing Simòn happy upon her arrival, tail wagging through my Furbo Dog camera, she always greeted him with scratches and made sure to give him a treat before leaving. I appreciated the photos during the walks around the neighborhood or if Simòn was being lazy instead of ending the walk she would sit outside with him while he sun bathed giving him scratches. Lilly thank you so much for helping me out during this time!”
“Fern walked my dog two mornings in a row and she was always punctual, and overall amazing!! No complaints whatsoever. My Dutch Shepherd can be highly energetic but Fern knew how to connect with her from day 1”
“Brianna was communicative, kind and clearly took wonderful care of our pup! She provided thorough details about her time with our doggo and the pictures were proof of just how happy our little one was in her care. 5/5, 10/10 and any other top ratings we could share 🌟”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I grew up with a giant breed dog and three cats, currently have two cats of my own, and I am an animal shelter volunteer! I’m comfortable with dogs of any size and temperament (both laid-back cuddle bugs and high-energy dogs that need extra exercise and attention). Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just having someone nearby to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and always aim to make their time with me stress-free and fun! I just graduated college and my full time job doesn’t start until mid July, so other than the occasional hanging out with friends, I have a wide open schedule! I am extremely flexible and will follow the owner’s usual routine as much as possible. I am comfortable with leashed walks as well as supervising dogs in fenced yards — I will not walk dogs off-leash or leave unsupervised in yards. I am happy to take dogs on adventures or just chill, but for the most part I am happy to do whatever the owner prefers!
“Alexandra is friendly and knowledgeable about dog walking/care and was flexible in taking care of Winston on short notice. Alexandra was timely in her visits, provided full details on her visit including photos. We would recommend Alexandra to others and will use Alexandra in the future. Thanks Alexandra.”
About: I have always had animals in my life. I grew up on a farm with cats, dogs, birds, horses, ducks, chickens, turkeys and goats. I currently have 3 cats and a dog. For as long as I can remember animals have always been in my life! I’ve worked with animals from young kittens and puppies to seniors, I absolutely love spending time with other people’s pets along with my own. I am a college student taking classes in the summer and working on weekends. I am available to take care of your pet babies on weekdays in the morning to afternoon to early evening I give all our cats and dog the best treatment possible, I wake up and feed them, take our dog on walks, cuddle up with the kitties while doing homework and spend the night with all of them sleeping in my bed with me (I love them so much I let them sleep on my pillow and steal 90% of the bed space😂)
“Jay displayed professionalism and patience when my dogs were being difficult. She had great communication and made us feel comfortable leaving them in her care. Would 100% recommend!”
“William was great! He was reliable, flexible, understanding, patient and very nice. He did great with my two dogs. One of them requires special attention during walks. Will did exceptional. Definitely will be telling my family and friends about him so they can use him too, I know I will be! Thanks again William!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for the last 11 years, I am a full time GMU student but I’m flexible with my schedule! I am a full time student at GMU but my classes are spread out so I have a lot of time to work with. I’m very willing to work something out to ensure your fur babies get good care. I will respect your home and house rules when dropping in or taking the pets for walks. I like to stay on routine to ensure the fur babies get good time to go outside, walk, play and feeding, crating or even cleaning up after them. I will also send pictures with updates.
About: I grew up with dogs and helped train one from puppyhood, gaining hands-on experience with obedience and daily care. I also regularly dog sat for my neighbors, building trust with both pets and their owners. While I’m currently in college and don’t have a dog of my own, I stay active by volunteering at a local animal shelter, working with dogs of different breeds and temperaments. I have very open availability over the summer and can be flexible to meet your dog’s needs. I do occasionally spend time with family about an hour away, but I always plan ahead to ensure I’m fully available and committed to any bookings. I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs, providing a safe and social environment for visiting pets. Dogs in my care get plenty of outdoor time, play, and supervision
