Stephanie had done a wonderful job walking my dog, Mikey! She was very communicative and left great notes and pictures during his walks. He can be energetic, but she really handled his wild side without any problem. I could tell that she has a real love for dogs and felt like she was taking care of Mikey the way she would her own pup.

Jose was great. He came in a torrential downpour to meet Indie the night before he'd be walking her the first time. The next day, he walked her as far as she would go (she can be stubborn the first few times with a new walker) and then spent the remainder of the time playing in the yard with her, which she loves. I will definitely ask for his help again.

Ashley is a responsible and loving pet caregiver. She has had animals of her own, and treats all animals with love and respect. She enjoys taking care of pets and recognizes the privilege it is to take care of others' pets. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and compassionate person to take care of pets.

Adrianne is an absolute delight. She really does just love animals. She always sends me updates with pictures of her and our dog playing or cuddling. She has a natural mothering instinct that dogs just seem to recognize. She’s very kind and easy to deal with as a caregiver and seems to do what she does out of love.

Mikah has been a life saver. I booked her at the last minute and she was very responsive to my questions. She arrives on time and my pup seems to love her. No complaints. Will definitely be using her as much as possible.

Meg was great with my dog, Capone, and he seemed very comfortable with her. I appreciated her transparency when she let me know about an incident where an off-leash dog ran up aggressively to Capone, triggering a reaction. I will definitely use Meg again for walks!

About: In the past, I have sat dogs overnight and walked them. I am looking to walk dogs during the day as I am a graduate student at Georgetown University. I am currently a student taking classes at night and am free during the day to walk your dogs. I am available essentially any time throughout the day. I will be sure to keep the dogs on leashes and on residential roads being positive to avoid high traffic areas. I’ll also provide them with food and water if wanted after the walk.

I don't trust my dog with just anyone and Lauren has made my dog feel so comfortable from the start! My dog Aspen, didn't even look back at me when I had Lauren watch her for me for 2 weeks at drop off. She is kind and considerate and cares for your dog as if they were hers. She has a gentle approach with everything she does and she remembered all the little details I gave her when watching her. She truly has a way with all animals and has great communication so that I always knew what was going on. I wouldn't have anyone else watch my dog!!
