Dog Gone Walking & Pet Care can provide you and your fur child with a wide array of pet care options to keep your pet happy and healthy while you are away. 

We pride ourselves in the ability to adapt to our clients' specific needs, so please don't hesitate to ask about customizing any of the services below to better suit you and your pet's needs. 

Consultations and Key Exchanges

In order to get you, your pet, and us to establish a healthy, long-lasting relationship that benefits us all, we are more than happy to offer a free initial 30 minute consultation to meet you and your pet and discuss a pet care plan.

Consultations are scheduled Monday through Friday during normal business hours, and Monday through Thursday into the early evening, subject to manager and walker availability.  During this visit we encourage you to provide us with 2 copies of your house key and the signed forms to make future service more efficient and less costly for you, as subsequent meetings and key exchanges will be charged. 

Mid-day Dog Walks

To keep your dog's tail waggin', we can walk your dog between 10am and 4pm Monday - Friday.  Our walks include a water refresh and treat.  

DGW serves two types of clients: those who use us on an as-needed basis and those who use us on a regular basis.  Daily clients have the flexibility of adding visits here and there, as they need it. Our Monthly Flat Rate includes 5 Monday - Friday 10am - 4pm walks per week, one walk each day. The rate never changes regardless of the amount of walks per month. Please note: monthly contracts are not available for durations of less than three consecutive calendar months.

Puppy Package

Ensure your lil' pups are growing up with the proper care and attention they need by allowing us to visit your pups twice a day between Monday and Friday, once for 30 minutes and once for 15 minutes. A good rule of thumb to follow is, a puppy can hold their bladder 1 hour per 1 month of age, so at 2 months of age they can hold it for 2 hours, at 3 months of age they can hold it for 3 hours, etc.  Visits will make sure your lil' one is given the opportunity to relieve itself, is properly fed, hydrated, socialized...and not to mention lots of play time your pup loves!  Rates are on a monthly basis.    

Weekend Dog Walks

All the care and attention of our regular mid-day dog walks, but just on Saturday or Sunday.  Our regular rates for mid-day walks apply, but we charge a weekend walk fee, and it is as follows:

Dog Park / Socialization Playday with Sitter

Want to come home to a calm pup after a long day at the office?  Do you have a handyman coming to your home and think it would be best for pup to be out socializing?  Get some of your pup's pent up energy out by letting them run wild and free, in the safe communes of our local dog parks or have them ride along with your favorite sitter for the day.  Our care providers will be fully equipped with any supplies needed to ensure the ultimate of experiences and safety while in their care.  Due to normal workdays causing many dog parks and daily care to be less busy, safer, and more pleasant, days at the park or riding along vary case by case.  Requests must be made 48 hours in advance.

Pet Sitting Visits at Your Home: Multiple Visits 

While you are away for an extended time and want your pet in the comfort of its own home, we can visit your pet 2 or 3 times a day for 30 minutes each.  Visits include a walk, indoor/outdoor playtime, lots of TLC,  feeding, water refresh, coat brushing and waste removal.  To ensure the proper care of your home, we can also bring in the mail, adjust the blinds, take out the garbage, etc. 

Overnight Pet Sitting in Your Home

To keep your pet stress free, within its own environment, and with a human presence at night, we can provide overnight care in your home.  We will provide a walk during our mid-day hours but between 8pm and 8am we will be with your pet in your home to provide walks, feedings, and lots of love.  Home care can also be provided during these hours.  

Overnight Vacation Care in Our Home

Ensure your pet is getting the care, exercise, and love it deserves while you are away.  We will treat your pet as if they are one of our own as they are a guest in our home, and do our best to maintain your pet's routine.  Care includes 3 or more walks a day, lots of love, and plenty of play within an open environment. 

Kitty Cat Care

Not as dependent on humans as our canine friends, our feline friends are still in need of lots of care and affection, and we love giving it to them!  Visits include feeding, litterbox cleanup, water refresh, brushing, and lots of love.  

Dog Gone Cruisin' Pet Taxi

We can provide transportation for your pet to and from places, such as to or from your house for overnight care, or vet and groomer appointments.  Rates are based on how many miles are between destinations, and are as follows:

Key Lock-out / House Sitting / Errands / Miscellaneous Services

To keep you happy, we can help you in other ways.  We can provide you with your house key if you get locked out of your home, house sit while you are away, and can even run any errands for you if the stress of Northern Virginia traffic gets to you easily.  Or, if you have any other special requests please let us know and we may be able to help you out.
