About Arlington Dog Nanny
Skilled, loving care for Arlington dogs since 2008.
How Arlington Dog Nanny Started
Desiree started the business after hiring various dog walkers while working as a lawyer. She realized that Arlington did not have a dog walker offering the skill level that her very active and intelligent Miniature Australian Shepherds required. That is why she decided to offer the services she always wished she could get for her own dogs. Built on the idea that dogs should get more than just a walk, she began offering exercise, playtime, park visits, and now pet sitting and professional training. The focus of our business is to make sure your dog gets the most out of our time together, no matter which service you need. We guarantee that we will never short-change your dog on time or attention. Our goal is to give dogs in Arlington the same fun, love, and attention on a regular basis that most busy professionals can only provide on the weekends.
