Serving Northern Virginia
Your pet’s happiness starts here!
We know your pets are more than just animals—they’re cherished members of your family. As passionate pet lovers ourselves, we understand how much their well-being means to you.
That’s why we offer a range of services designed to keep your pets healthy, happy, and enriched. Whether your dog needs a calming walk around the neighborhood, an engaging play session at home, or a safe ride to the vet, we’re here to provide the care and attention they deserve.
With flexible scheduling, dependable service, and a team of experienced professionals, Happy Paws Pet Nanny is dedicated to making every visit an adventure your pet will love. Let us take the lead while you enjoy peace of mind!
We understand that you can’t always be home at lunch, and long days at the office can keep you away from your little four legged friend. We can offer that midday relief for your pet with a long walk, refreshment refill, and a playful interlude until your return.
Your dog walker will come right to your home and walk your dog for you
A dog walker will be able to provide your dog with one on one, undivided attention
Your dog will get a much needed potty break in the middle of the day while you’re working hard to pay for her bones and chew toys
A structured walk each day not only exercises your dog’s body, but it also exercises his mind by giving him a task to focus on
A walk every day will reduce behavioral problems related to boredom and built up energy
A professional dog walker is not only there to help you exercise your dog but they can be a valued part of your team to properly care for your dog, just like the veterinarian or the groomer.
If your dog is older or cannot go on walks for some reason, a dog walker can still provide them with a potty break and some companionship during the day
No need to rush home to walk your dog
Come rain or shine a dog walker is always there
No more guilty feeling leaving your dogs caged or indoors all day
Our lives can be very demanding but no matter what, our dogs are always there waiting for us at the end of the day with a wagging tail and unconditional love. You can give the same love back to them by making sure all of their needs are met and getting a dog walker is a great way to do that!
Pet’s are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole!
We understand you can’t always be with your pets, or take them with you while you travel. The Happy Paws Pet Nanny was born out of the desire to offer an alternative to boarding where they might be sad or get sick. That’s where we can help, by giving you the peace of mind that comes from having your pet cared for in the loving environment of your own home, keeping up with their routines and keeping them safe. Our nannies care for your pets like they are our own!
Vacation Services Include: Walking, yard play, food and fresh water, medications, litter box and cage cleanup, TLC, playtime inside too! Any messes or accidents that happen while you are away will also be cleaned up to the best of our ability.

We have two wonderful local companies that we recommend for dog training. Both are very skilled, professional and friendly, making it so easy to work with them when it comes to dog training. They have similar techniques and skills, however, they are also very different in what they provide for dog training. We like to give our clients these options and then they can make their own decision on what might work best for their doggie.
