Our Mission
We are on a mission to convince dog owners in Northern Virginia to raise their expectations when searching for dog walkers. Dog walking qualifications such as experience and love for dogs are basic and should be the least we expect of our dog walkers. What is harder to find are dog walkers who are familiar with many dog breeds AND a wide variety of dog behaviors. WalkOn offers affordable dog walking services that are provided by knowledgeable professionals who also happen to love dogs.
Bonded and Insured
WalkOn is locally owned and operated, bonded and insured. Our staff receives professional training and support, so if you know any dog lovers who may be interested in dog walking and learning more about dogs, we’re always looking for dedicated dog walkers.

Meet the Staff

BETH HAMILL, OWNER
beth@walkon.dog
The earliest canine encounter Beth can remember was terrifying. Newton, the scruffy terrier mix who lived next door, jumped up and Beth ran. Newton chased. The happy ending to this story is that it was just the beginning of Beth’s abiding interest in dogs and their behavior. Her parents also made sure Beth had plenty of dogs to raise, train and snuggle too.
Beth’s interest in behavior expanded to humans and years later she earned an MA in forensic psychology. After many years working in the legal field, Beth turned her attention back to her first love–dogs. Her grounding in psychology has informed Beth’s positive approach to training her two horses, Riley and Peanut, and her dog Lulu. Beth is acutely aware that, like people, no two dogs are the same. They all bring something different to the party.
Beth is committed to professional development for herself and her team. She has engaged a local dog trainer to give her walkers a grounding in dog behavior and strategies for dealing with difficult dog behaviors as they arise.

NICOLE SOK, WALKER
From the time she was very young Nicole has loved animals unconditionally. Nicole worked in an animal clinic and dog boarding kennel for 8 years and has experience with many breeds, sizes and temperaments. She graduated from Northern Virginia Community College with an AAS in Information Systems Technology and is currently an assistant property manager.
Nicole missed working with dogs on a daily basis and began looking for part-time work walking dogs and pet sitting. Nicole’s calm demeanor is quickly recognized by any dog she meets. She gives all dogs the same commitment and care that she gives her own two dogs. Nicole truly loves and enjoys being around and caring for dogs.
