We’ll treat your pets and home as we would ours—with love, care, and respect. We’re fully insured and bonded. Our staff members are chosen with extreme care—including criminal background checks—to make sure that only the most trustworthy walkers will take care of your beloved pets.
My own pets inspired me to open Wagging Tails Dog Walking and Pet Sitting. Generations of our family grew up on a farm with livestock, horses, and family pets. I’ve had pets my entire life.
I gained valuable experience working for Woofies, LLC in Ashburn, VA for several years. I’ve developed a keen sense for connecting to animals, even those with anxieties or personality quirks.
In addition to running Wagging Tails, I and many of our staff volunteer at the local humane society.
