Dog Walking Anacostia

About: All dogs need a friend who will run with them, chase sticks and get a little dirty. I’m here to make the city feel more like a jungle and less like concrete. I grew up in VA, working on a farm and playing with all kinds of pets, so I’m not afraid of big dogs. I’m a former D1 athletes, and I work in education, with a background in child and animal care so high energy pets are no problem. I’ve pet sat exotic breeds of dogs for cash during undergrad at Georgetown; I’m also comfortable with high need pets! I’m down to clown but I’ll always put your pets safety first! As a data guy I’m big on little details and enjoy it following instructions. I make it into a game. I also live with a fellow rover person!

“Shelby is the best”

“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!”

“Chase was excellent during their visit with Jerry. He is sensitive to loud noises, and Chase handled a challenging walk during 4th July fireworks without issue. I will book again for the future.”

About: I've been caring for dogs for most of my life, from growing up with our family dog, to raising my own dogs for the past 15+ years. I've cared for breeds ranging from Jack Russells and Border Terriers to pit-mixes, giving me experience with a variety of personalities and energy levels. While I've never owned a cat, I'm a fan of them too and would be happy to care for feline family members with the same patience and attention. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine, and with my current contract work, I have full-time availability for dog walks, drop-in visits, and cat care throughout the week. My flexible schedule allows me to provide dependable, attentive care and accommodate a variety of timing needs, whether your pet needs a midday walk, a check-in while you're away, or some extra companionship. I know that leaving your pet with someone else is a big act of trust, so I treat every visit as if I were looking after one of my own. My goal is to keep their routine familiar, comfortable, and full of reassurance, whether that means walkies, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I'll follow your instructions carefully, make sure they have plenty of fresh water and attention, and send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your best mate is happy, safe, and well cared for.

“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.”

Amy H.

“Tameka and her daughter Maddy, were one of the best hosts that we have had. Zeeba was a little nervous but they were patient and let warm up to them. Tameka helped me Out when I needed to be resting instead of walking. Zeeba got lots of treats and pets. We will use them again”

“Nina was amazing! She took my two dogs outside and made sure that they both went potty and then fed them dinner. She communicated with me and I felt really comfortable with her taking care of my dogs! I would definitely have her take care of my dogs again.”

About: I have dog sat for friends when they're out of town. I have watched my mom's cat for her whole life too. I love animals, I love playing with them, I love the excuse to get out for a walk, I love sitting with them, I love talking to them like they can understand what I'm saying. I genuinely enjoy hanging out with animals and care for them deeply. I work from home and have the flexibility to leave for a walk or run an errand whenever I need to. So if that means a 3 pm walk for your pup or a morning and evening feeding time for your pet, I'm here! I have a fenced in back yard, fenced in front balcony, and enclosed spaces throughout my home. I also have an open floor plan on the main level where I would feed your pet and hang out them mostly.

About: Hi, I have had a lot of experience with my own pets, as I have had dogs all of my life, in addition to dog sitting that I have done on the side in previous years. I am such a pet lover and I am really looking forward to this experience, especially since I work 100% remote. Some things that distinguish me from other people is that I am open to learning, so new experiences and situations come easily to me. Secondly, I am extremely caring, especially when it comes to other people's animals, since I understand what its like to leave your pet in the care of somebody else. I am also easy to work with and have no issues communicating through any possible issues. Working 100% remote allows me the flexibility to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I can take short breaks throughout the day to attend to my dog’s needs, whether it’s a quick walk, some playtime, or feeding. I also make time for longer walks in the morning and late afternoon, which gives both of us a refreshing break and helps my dog stay active. Being remote means I can adapt my schedule to ensure they get the care and attention they need without interrupting my work flow. In my home, I provide pets with a comfortable and spacious environment where they feel right at home. My 3-bedroom house offers plenty of room for pets to explore and relax, and I have a fenced-in backyard that allows for safe, supervised outdoor play. I prioritize creating a nurturing and engaging environment, ensuring pets have ample attention, playtime, and exercise. For walks, feeding, and any specific needs they may have, I tailor my routine to each pet’s preferences. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I keep their routines consistent, providing the same level of personalized care and attention to ensure they feel secure and happy in their familiar environment.

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