Dog Walking Capitol District

About: I am a musician, property manager, & ex-software dev who enjoys taking care of animals. One of my favorite experiences was caring for a small farm (dogs, cats, horses, and chickens!) in Kentucky. I love taking dogs on walks around town & to explore the river! I am committed to consistent and clear communication; I place a high value on the professional relationship between house-sitter and host. I love sending daily updates as requested. I don't work during the day, so I can accommodate feedings, med delivery, walks, and playtime all day long! I try to structure my day around the client's schedule, so that the animals don't experience a disruption in their normal routine. I love doing overnight sits for pets in the environment they are most comfortable in — their own home. I find it easy to adapt to a pet’s schedule and routine and I love exploring new places around town via walks!

“Maria and Luis were wonderful with Murphy! They were communicative and easy going. I was nervous, as this was my first time having Murphy walked by a stranger, but feel so comfortable leaving her in their care!!”

“Mel did an outstanding job with our dog, Buster. She did everything we asked her to do, but most importantly, she truly loved our pet. We will be calling on Mel for future dog sitting! Thank you Rover for helping us find her!”

About: I've been caring for animals for years, both my own and those of family and friends. I raised my family's senior dog from the time she was a puppy, giving me experience with every stage of a dog's life—from energetic puppy years to the extra patience and attention that come with senior care. I'm also the proud owner of two cats that I've cared for since they were just two months old. Caring for them has given me hands-on experience with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, recognizing changes in behavior, and creating a safe, enriching environment. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to follow each owner's instructions carefully. Whether your pet loves long walks, interactive play, quiet companionship, or extra patience, I'll provide dependable, compassionate care so they feel comfortable while you're away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or overnight care, I make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I always prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special care instructions before our visit. In your home, I'll follow your instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, provide fresh food and water, administer medications if needed, and make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you're away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind.

“Kade took care of our pup and new kitten when we were in a pinch for a sitter. They took the time out of their schedule for a meet and greet and had no problem following our care instructions. Our pup and kitten took to them immediately and we felt so reassured they were safe under Kade’s care! Thank you so much Kade for your help, and we would absolutely recommend booking Kade for any of your sitting needs!”

Dominque W.

“Nicole does such a great job with my baby. On days when it’s too hot she still makes sure he goes out and gets playtime and love. I absolutely love that she takes multiple pics to show what they’ve been up to. Pork Chop enjoys her visits so much”

“Deiandre was great. He was very communicative and gave detailed reports after every walk. It was such a relief knowing my sweet girl was in good hands while I was on a work trip.”

“Grant was so amazing to my little Loretta! Can’t recommend him enough!”

Maxwell S.

“We couldn’t recommend Fran enough! She was extremely prompt and communicative throughout the entire process and our pup loved being walked by her. We also really appreciated the photos/videos of each walk and the thorough recaps afterward. When we need dog services again we won’t hesitate to reach out because we know our pup is in good hands. Thanks Fran!”

Molly R.

“Nevaeh walks my dogs once a day and it is such a retro know that she is there for them while I am at work. She is an absolute sweetheart and even my more stand offish dogs loves her. Could not recommend met more!”

Samantha W.

“Adora is absolute wonderful with my baby girl. She came through in a pinch for me, put me at ease about the care my dog-child was in, loved on her and got her some sunshine while I was stuck at work. Thank you, Adora!”

About: I’ve been dog-sitting for about 5 years now. I’ve mainly taken care of small to medium sized dogs but I’m open to looking after larger dogs as well. I am very reliable and have a lot of energy to keep your dog entertained throughout the day. I love going for walks and and going to dog parks if allowed by the owner. I live in an apartment and it’s dog-friend and the apartment has a dog area where they can relieve themselves. I live in a studio apartment but there’s plenty of open space where your pup can lounge around. I’m very attentive of your dogs needs, so I stay on top of taking them out for walks and making sure their water bowl is kept full and following their feeding schedule. Also open to grooming and showering your dog, especially if they are staying overnight with me. If your pup is energetic and loves to play we will be a great match!!
