“Anna is a rockstar - I use her multiple times a week and she is always communicative about Ziggy and I fully trust her to take great care of him. So glad I found her!!”
6. Chanelle W.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Chanelle is fantastic! She’s incredibly friendly, prompt, and professional, with the added patience to handle our rather barky chihuahua-pug mix. Our dog doesn’t usually warm up to people quickly, but she immediately took to Chanelle, which says a lot. Her calm, reassuring approach made her feel comfortable, and it’s clear she genuinely loves working with animals. Chanelle is reliable and trustworthy, and we feel so lucky to have her as our dog walker. Highly recommend!”

9. Abner C.
“I continue to always be able to rely on Abner to not only be reliable, but also to identify and help me track health issues with my dog, especially as she’s getting a little older and has had neurological and mobility issues. That is invaluable to me, and I cannot say enough good things about Abner. I would highly recommend Abner.”

13. William A.
“Our family just moved to Chevy Chase DC from Shaw and the hardest part of moving was leaving our dogwalker. Thankfully, we found William last minute to fill in while we found a regular dog-walking service and he was absolutely fantastic. He is very very communicative, always brought in packages without us asking, and most importantly our particular pup is quite fond of him!! He brought us peace of mind during this transition and I'm really grateful to have found him.”
14. Aubrey P.
About: I grew up with dogs and can always be found around the neighborhood petting pups and playing with friends’ dog. I have been walking dogs in the DC area for two years now, and I have previous experience dogsitting and making house calls as well. I also volunteered quite a bit at the Atlanta Humane Society a few years back, teaching me how to deal with nervous or territorial dogs. Though I live in the Brightwood neighborhood, I can reasonably travel throughout the DMV area, and I am available throughout the week. Dogs bring so much joy, and I love to spend time with them to keep them happy and healthy. Moreover, I am glad to watch any type and any size of dog! May husband or I provide long morning and evening walks (as appropriate based on dog), and I work a hybrid schedule to allow for love during certain days as well. I treat any dog like my own, making sure they feel safe and secure until their parents return. We have a fenced in yard, which allows endless fetch sessions.
15. Rachel F.
“Rachel was awesome with my two dogs. She sent lots of photos and was super helpful cleaning up after one of the pups ate a pillow and left feathers all over the living room.”
16. Kasmin H.
“Kasmin is truly a diamond in the rough! She was able to watch Iverson at a short notice and made sure he had an amazing holiday! If you thinking about using Kasmin, please dont hesitate! She is great!”
17. Idit K.
“Idit was great with Chelsea and Frank! She came over early in the week to meet them and see what their routines are like. She was so sweet with the dogs and they loved her. She also sent the best pics!! Thanks Idit :)”
18. Rakia P.
“Having Rakia walk our pup was perfect! She is communicative, friendly and on time. Luna came back very happy and tired from her walk, just what we needed! I would recommend Rakia and will be requesting her services again in the future.”
19. Noemi C.
“Thank you Noemí for taking such good care of Stitch and Lucas. I really appreciate your attention to making sure the dogs were fed and cared for. Noemí is a very good caregiver, she loves playing with the dogs and spending time with them. She is my go to for my doggos. Thank you!!”
20. Baron W.
“Baron has so amazing with our pup Sadie! He has been super reliable and communicative about upcoming walks, and helpful when we’ve had to change our schedule. His pictures of our pup during their walks are absolutely hilarious and we always know he’s taking good care of her. Sadie is always clamoring at our front door on walk days, so we know she’s been very happy too!”
