Dog Walking In Anacostia

About: I have always taken care of my neighbors', friends' and family's pets when they have needed me to. I also had a dog walking business when I was younger! I am on summer vacation from college so I am free all day pretty much everyday and would love to spend my free time with some adorable fur friends! I have a gate around my house and a very big backyard for them to play in. I also have a lot of space inside where I can crate them and they can be safe and comfortable.

“Leiah stepped in to walk Penny at the last minute and I’m grateful for her responsiveness and professionalism. I will definitely book her again.”

“Liz is a great dog walker who was kind and calm with our anxious baby. Will book again!”

“We loved Kalani soooooo much! Our dog, Maro, literally refused to switch to another walker after spending a few weeks with her while our regular walker was away, he adores her that much — we’re hoping he will reconsider now that she’s moving out of our area! She is amazing with dogs, super attentive and caring, and with pet parents she is perfectly professional, communicative, and reliable. 13/10 would recommend for any pet-related service!”

“This is our first time working with Michael, and he was absolutely excellent, incredibly responsive, and prompt for every walk. My pet Romeo is a senior Yorkie, and his needs are simple, but he is very old now. Michael was incredibly gentle and took his time on walks with Romeo. Sent real time updates and photos. I’m always grateful for highly communicative walkers and people who care about my pet.”

Alicia J.

“Jannelle was so sweet with my 5-month-old puppy. My dog is a little nervous right now since she is so new, but Jannelle still got her out and about! Also, thank you so much for responding on such late notice.”

About: Caring, dependable pet lover offering walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays! Your pets will feel safe, loved, and cared for like family. Flexible scheduling and affordable rates — let’s keep those tails wagging! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize walks, drop-ins, and quality time, making sure every pet gets the attention and love they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I create a calm, secure environment by following any specific instructions closely, keeping spaces clean and pet-friendly, and always monitoring pets carefully during visits. I treat each home with respect and each pet like family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times.

About: I’m a 27-year-old dog lover who has called DC home for the past 8 years, and caring for pups is truly one of my favorite things. As a proud dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to look after your furry family member. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always aim to create a safe, loving, and fun experience for every pup I meet. Whether it’s a quick walk or some extra playtime, I’ll treat your dog like my own! Pet sitting fits perfectly into my schedule since I work nights and am up early with plenty of availability during the day. This allows me to give pets consistent attention, walks, and care throughout the daytime hours when they need it most. When pets stay in my home, I create a safe, clean, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow their usual routines and any care instructions you provide, and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection so they feel right at home.

“Natasha is very professional and follow instructions perfectly. Highly recommended dog walker for your fur lil friend.”

About: I would love to care for your fur baby! I’m a pet parent who is glad to teach your pup tricks and provide all the care they need while you’re away. Need someone who can provide care for complex diets and allergy issues? - I can help with that! As someone who’s dog had allergies and is still a picky eater, I know the stress that leaving your pet can have. Have no fear, Josephine is here and I’m glad to work with you to provide your pet the exact diet that they require. Want someone to bathe your dog while you’re away? - I can help with that! My apartment has a fully functioning pet tub and blow dry station. My dog HATES baths, but we get it done every time with a few treats and lots of love. I’m glad to take that burden away. Want someone who will love on your pet just like their own? - I can help with that! Growing up, I begged for a dog but never got one. Until I had my own pets, I was loving on other animals to fill the void LOL Wanna expose your puppy to a kitty early on so they become comfortable with cats? - I can help with that! My kitty loves dogs (he practically thinks he’s a dog!) Want your dog to learn basic commands like sit, stay, shake …AND how to ring a doorbell to ask to go outside? - I can help with that! My pup is well trained and yes, she even rings a doorbell to ask to go outside! I typically work during the daytime on weekdays, but October recess is coming up and I’ll be working remote every day. Outside of that time, I’m available pretty much anytime on weekends, Fri-Sun. I have a large fenced dog dog park attached to my building that is seldom used, and several dog parking within walking distance, if your pet prefers to socialize among other pups. I also have several rooms in my apartment that I’m glad to use provide a spectate space for your pup if they’re not to fond of other animals.

About: I’ve taken care of my dog (Pitbull) for 3 years. Unfortunately we had to part away but she was very hyperactive and fun. She was well taken care of. I’m currently waiting to go to college this fall so I have plenty of time to take care of dogs/cats in my daily routine. I would care for pets as their owner would care for them. Making sure they are safe and well taken care of care of in their home.

“Kelly was wonderful to step in for a last minute request! We are grateful for her communication while our one dog was feeling sick. She kept us up to date and we so appreciate her! She took lots of time to love on the as well! We would request her again in a heartbeat!”

About: I’ve taken care of plenty of dogs growing up. We had a pit bull and a Great Dane, so I’m experienced with hyper active dogs. Used to cat sit for family members and have 2 of my own. Can take care of birds and other types of pets Working part time as a photographer! My schedule is pretty open for me to be able to take care of pets during the days since most of my shifts are at night! I take portraits of pets as well :) Currently have no pets but I do live in a pet friendly household! My partner works from home and I work part time so one of us is always around the house!

“Quincy was on time, and very communicative. It seemed like Osla enjoyed his presence!!”

About: Got it! Here’s the updated version: Bio: Hi! I’m a work-from-home pet lover with a flexible schedule, which means I’m available for mid-day walks, morning, or afternoon — whatever works best for you and your pup. I’ve had my own dog for six years, raising him from puppyhood, so I understand what it takes to care for a dog at every stage of life. He has health issues, and I’ve administered oral medication to him twice daily, so I’m completely comfortable and experienced with pets who have medical needs — no added stress for you there. Beyond my own dog, I’ve cared for friends’ and family members’ pets over the years and have been on Rover for several years. Most recently, I spent three years caring for a Bernedoodle who came to my home every day and stayed overnight regularly — so I have plenty of experience with both dog daycare and boarding in my own space. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. If your dog isn’t feeling their best, I’ll always communicate with you openly and handle it with care. Your pet is in good hands! Here’s a natural-sounding blurb for that section: Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. Since I work from home full time, I’m here throughout the day — there’s no rushing home between meetings or squeezing in a walk during a lunch break. My schedule is flexible enough to accommodate morning drop-offs, mid-day walks, afternoon playtime, or whatever a pet needs that day. Having cared for my own dog for six years, daily pet care is just a normal part of my life — feeding, walks, medication, and check-ins are already built into my day. It’s less of an added responsibility and more of something I genuinely enjoy. I’m comfortable walking pets around the city in various neighborhoods(reactive or friendly pets). I’m happy to play with, feed, crate, etc. pets after their walks or drop ins.

“Montello is great! He was timely, professional, and communicative.”

About: I worked at petsmart pets hotel for a couple of years after high school and I loved it. I love all dogs. I especially love boxers and Malteses. I've had several different pets over my lifetime but mainly cats. I currently have a beagle lab mix that keeps me on my toes I work overnight so my day schedule is completely open and I'm looking for a little more pet love to feel that space. Hopefully bringing along my girl won't be an issue as she goes with me just about everywhere. In my home, my girl is allowed to roam pretty freely as she is well house trained. She gets walked about 4, sometimes five times a day as she is a high energy dog. Whatever the pet parent requires of me in terms of caring for their pet is what I will implement in caring for their pet.

“Took great care of my pups. Communicated along the way.”
