About Us

Arlington PetPals LLC is owned and operated by Arlington resident Bob McCormick. Bob is a lifelong Washingtonian, having graduated from Georgetown Preparatory School in Rockville, Maryland, and James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Bob worked several years for The Nasdaq Stock Market as a Securities Regulator and most recently as an Accountant in the public accounting industry. Following the 2005 tax season Bob decided to act on his love for dogs and desire to start a business that catered to the needs of the community he lives in and loves. Bob lives with his wife, Sonia, and their basset hound, Lexi.

Message from Bob:

"In my opinion, dogs are one of God’s gifts to humans. There simply is nothing else on earth that provides us with such non-stop unconditional devotion. In exchange, don’t we owe our pets something more than a roof and two cans of Alpo a day? Of course we do. Fortunately, we know what makes our dogs most happy -- THE WALK; and it is something that you can still do for your dog when work or travel keeps you away from home. With Arlington PetPals, you can rest assured that the person who comes into your home and whom you are relying on to care for your pet is responsible and trustworthy. After nearly 20 years working as a securities regulator and an accountant, I can assure you that honesty, reliability and integrity are more than just words to me. Once you become a client, I hope you will agree. I look forward to meeting you and your pet soon!"
