What your Arlington Area Neighbors are Saying..

{I have a very attached little dog, who has only been with me since I work from home. I hurt my knee and was not able to take my dog out for walks. I hired Marina to take her for a daily walk. Marina was patient with her and bonded with my dog. My dog loved her daily walks with Marina. Marina would send me videos of the dog walk so I could see that my dog was okay., which was above and beyond. I highly recommend Marina's dog walking services! and happy to speak to anyone who is thinking of using her services.

{Great experience with Marina, she kept Skylar happy and busy with plenty of great outdoors walks and kept me informed of any issues or concerns throughout her stay. Marina is a dog lover and will ensure that your dog is extremely well taken care of !

Skylar
{Marina is a joy to work with. She is very reliable, communicative, and knowledgeable. In the months that Bug has done daily walks with Marina, her leash manners have improved dramatically. Marina switches up the daily walks regularly, which you can see from the fantastic videos and adorable pictures she posts consistently. Marina has also been generous with her advice on behaviors and products, as I am a first-time dog owner. I cannot recommend Marina enough!

Tabitha and Bug
{Marina is a trusted, kind, smart, thoughtful person and dog walker/trainer. My dog uses a muzzle, and she skillfully works with him. I trust very few people to walk him, but she is one of them. She’s timely and professional. I highly recommend her.

J and Mischa
{I appreciate your flexibility and dependability. I also appreciate the text message stating that you’re on your way. This gives me a moment, in case there’s something I forgot to tell you. Saxon obviously enjoys his time with you. He sometimes goes to his bag with the special toys you bought and barks because he wants to play.
