Dog Walking Berkley

“Caden is a wonderful dog walker. He’s always on time, consistent, and genuinely cares for my dog. I would highly recommend him.”

“Hannah was great getting Logan moving in the middle of the day while I was at work. She's super responsive and was a huge help to me in my first week back in the office.”

About: I'm not just another dog walker or pet sitter — I'm your reliable neighborhood neighbor who’s already the go-to person in my 10-story NW DC apartment building for everything from quick walks to overnight stays (and yes, I handle both dogs and cats with ease!). What really makes me different is my background as a recently retired Special Education teacher. That means I bring serious patience, structure, and a knack for reading behavior to every pet I care for. Whether it’s helping a energetic young pup learn polite leash manners, crate training basics, or simple commands during our walks and playtime — or giving gentle, attentive care to senior dogs and cats who need slower paces, extra cuddles, or help with mobility and medication — I’m genuinely good at meeting each pet exactly where they are. I grew up with dogs and cats, so I’m comfortable with all personalities and ages. I focus on making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away — with consistent routines, plenty of affection, and that extra layer of responsibility that comes from years of working with kids who needed thoughtful, individualized support. In short: You get a sitter who’s dependable, experienced with all life stages of pets, and truly enjoys the work. Your furry (or not-so-furry) family member will get the kind of calm, attentive care that makes coming home even sweeter. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine! Since I’m recently retired, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I live right in a 10-story apartment building in NW DC, so I’m already here and can easily pop down for midday walks, quick drop-ins, or overnight stays without any commute hassle. A typical week for me includes several regular dog walks and cat visits for neighbors in the building. I genuinely enjoy starting my day with a good walk or ending it with some playtime and cuddles. It keeps me active, social, and smiling — plus it gives me that wonderful sense of responsibility I loved from my teaching days. Whether it’s a quick 30-minute walk around the neighborhood, a full night of house sitting, or daily check-ins while you’re traveling, fitting pet care into my schedule is easy and something I truly look forward to. I’m available most days and evenings, and I’m happy to work around your needs! I provide all pet care in your home only, so your pets stay in their familiar environment where they feel safest and most comfortable. For dogs, I will only consider bringing them to my house on very rare occasions — and only after I’ve gotten to know the dog well and we both agree it’s the right fit. All cat care happens exclusively in your home. In your home, I follow your exact routines for feeding, walks (for dogs), playtime, litter box care, medications, and more. I’m very mindful about safety: keeping doors and windows locked, using secure leashes when needed, and treating your space with complete respect. As a retired Special Education teacher, I’m patient, observant, and highly responsible. I treat every pet and every home with the care they deserve. You can trust that your furry family member will be in safe, loving hands.

“Maddie was incredible with Cherry. They had rapport right away. She was responsible, communicative and walked for an hour in the hot sun and rain to make sure Cherry got her exercise. Highly recommend her to all pet parents!”

About: I have experience caring for friends and neighbour's dogs and cats as well as pets of my own. I’ve done boarding and in home dog-sitting, dogs walking, and in home cat-sitting. I am a responsible and hardworking college students who also takes any opportunity for some animal love ❤️ I am currently in between jobs and have a wide open schedule! I am able to walk dogs any day of the week, and board on the weekends. I am also able to do in-home sitting for dogs and cats for any times. I live and a good-sized apartment with one roommate. There is grassy areas and woods nearby as well as many parks and fun walks for pups.

“Ashton was incredible with our senior dog! Ashton was kind and gentle with her, ensuring she got good exercise even when she was a bit stubborn. Ashton even went above and beyond, coming to our house to help even after a big snowstorm. We’ll definitely have her help out again!”

“Julia is excellent. Very communicative, timely, and most of all, gave Camden a great walk and lots of love! We loved getting her feedback on the walk and several pics of Camden.”

“We appreciate Rubens’ flexibility with last minute walks! He takes Geordi through the woods, which he loves and gives him energy. We know our old guy is in great hands with Rubens.”

“Sarah was great with my senior pup and her love for animals is clear. I appreciated that she was available for a meet and greet and booking on short notice. Would gladly have her care for Finn again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for over 6 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied upon my care and been extremely satisfied. I have experience with providing oral medication and senior cats. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of availability to spend time with your pet(s)! I’m available for walking, home visits, and cuddle sessions with your furry bff. I will meet your pets energy and care for them in any way they need! If you have a detailed schedule I’m more than happy to follow it. Each furry friend is unique and deserves top notch treatment!

“My pup had a great time with Juliet on her walk. Juliet is communicative and committed to giving your pet great care - would happily book again!”

Jane K.

About: I love dogs and cats, and miss my own pets as I’m away from home. So I would love to help take care of your pets when you need an extra hand! My availability is during weekends for drop-ins/walks, but can be flexible for days. I can’t wait to hear more about your pet, just reach out! I work full-time, so I am mostly free on weekends. That can be any time on the weekend, and if needed, can try for weekdays after work. For drop-ins, I will play with your pets and brush them if they enjoy that! And for dogs, would love them to take them for a stroll so we can both get our steps in!

“Audrey took such great care of our pups while we were away today. Very responsible, caring, and thoughtful caring for our dogs. We highly recommend Audry!”

“We are so grateful for Esther. She was prompt to connect with us when booking and set up a meet and greet. She has been reliable and so kind to our Teddy!”

About: I’ve always loved dogs and grew up with a Rottweiler, so I’m comfortable with larger breeds and have plenty of experience caring for them. Many of my friends have big dogs, and I often enjoy taking them out for walks. During the warmer months, I can even take your pup on a short run to burn off some extra energy! With prior military service, I bring a high level of responsibility, reliability, and dedication to ensuring your dog gets the best care and attention during our time together. I can be free in the evenings starting at 6 pm on weekdays, or Wednesday mornings before 10:30am. My weekends are free and I can easily fit in a walk while you’re out living your best life. I give all animals lots of love, attention, and patience! I communicate well, and would love to share updates on how your dog is enjoying their walk, with a quick pic or two to capture the moment.

“Anna took Sable on some great walks! She is punctual and communicative, and Sable seems to really like her. We will definitely be using Anna again!”

“Julia walked my two dogs all summer while I was working. From the beginning, Julia took the time to make sure she understood my (very detailed!) preferences, always made sure she got things right, and was accommodating for schedule changes and when we moved. Julia was such a big help and I could entrust her with walking my two fur-babies. She is great!”

About: I have a pet Russian tortoise who requires special care and delicate handling that's more involved than, say, walking and feeding a dog or taking care of a cat. I have a pretty flexible schedule both this summer and into the fall. Pet care can easily be scheduled around my summer job and college classes. I make sure pets, my own and others that I've been responsible for, get plenty of attention. I don't leave them until all their needs have been met

About: Hi, my name is Mila! My whole life I’ve been surrounded by animals, and I truly love them. I’m a cat mom myself so I will take care of your fluffy kid like my own! I LOOOVE taking pics of animals, so you’ll be sure to get a portrait of your baby. Check out my photo gallery! I'm currently working from Monday to Friday until 3 pm. Because of that, I do drop-ins after 3:30 pm on workdays and house sitting during weekends. I’m a person who enjoys spending as much time with animals as I can. I know that animals are missing their parents when they are at home alone, and I believe pet sitting is so much more than just feeding and cleaning a litter box or walking a dog. Unfortunately I won’t be able to bring your pet to my own place because of my two cats. They are love bugs with me but not too social or keen on befriending other animals.

“Thanks for walking Bear, Andre! And for all of the photos - very thoughtful of you. Until next time! Bear and Chrish”
