Dog Walking Capitol Heights

About: We have cared for our neighbors dogs and cats, family members and of course our own fur babies. We have fed, with special diets and followed schedules for feeding. We have bottle fed and also of course we give treats. Everyone needs treats! We have bathe puppies and partially groomed them. We love to teach new tricks and take longs walks. We love to play with them and give them the attention they need. The hours listed are the hours that I am home, as well as my teenagers. We're home daily so there will be more than enough love to go around. We have a flexible schedule. We have a large open wide yard for your fur babies to play and do activities. We also have a friendly fur baby to keep your fur baby company.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and love them so much that I decided to work at a Dog and Cat daycare and boarding facility. I’ve been working there for 3 years and have worked with all breeds and ages varying from puppies to seniors and love comforting them and making them happy while also making sure their parents know they are in good hands! I’m currently working part-time and my availability is flexible. I’m willing to make adjustments as long as I am notified at least 2-3 weeks in advance. Depending on the typical routine of the pet, I will follow it as close as possible to make them feel as comfortable as I can. I will keep them busy by going on walks or by playing with them, or if they have lower energy I’ll just make sure to give them extra attention.

“Krystal has done a fantastic job taking our high-energy dog on walks. She’s prompt and shares details about how things went afterwards. She’s also been great about following any specific instructions or requests. I feel very confident leaving our dog in her care and highly recommend her.”

About: First and foremost, I’m a queer yoga teacher in the area and I haven’t used this account in least two years 😬 I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. At four, my family started fostering cats (mamas and kittens were my faaaav) and I would help out as much as I could. Yes, I did try to name a kitten Washcloth. No, my mom did not let it stand. This love for animals carried forward throughout my youth with four cats, a German Shepard mix, a malamute, a boxer and pit. My house was always full and as the Aries eldest daughter that I am I always was the first to help out. I got a cat as soon as I could when I moved out on my own and about seven years ago I got a rescue pup of my own. I also have a Rottweiler who I helped raise and train from 7 weeks old. I dedicated so much time to gently training both of them and just pouring love into them. I can definitely help with training and love working with dogs on walking well on leash. I also really believe in positive reinforcement for your pets - they just want to make us proud. Truly a universal desire. I love long walks with dogs and lots of coregulation calm time. Trust that your babies will be treated like they are family. I am a yoga teacher and teach about 10 classes per week. Other than that I work remotely from my computer, so I can flex my time. I really value a slow paced life, so being able to really take my time and go for walks/hikes, cooking a gourmet dinner at home for myself and cuddling up with a good book. I have always been a very regimented, schedule following pet owner. I think it helps create consistency and eases anxiety for animals. Routines help animals thrive. I think frequent bathroom breaks are important. Long walks early in the day before the world is busy and it gets too hot in the summer are a priority. I also really love snuggling up and just having quiet, calm time with pets. I am happy to follow whatever guidelines/special requests pet parents have. I know how important it is to keep things consistent for pets! There’s never any judgement from me!

“Monsserath does great with my shy and anxious dog. She is very patient and understanding and has so much love to give my pup. She is super reliable and I can tell looks forward to seeing my pup every week! I am so lucky to have connected with her and look forward to working with her again in the future.”

About: I am a true animal lover at heart! My family always owned dogs growing up, I adopted my own, Bear, in 2017 and my cat Luna (aka Tuna) in 2021. After recently losing Bear unexpectedly, I’m hoping to help heal my heart and get some puppy love by offering walks and drop-in visits to your babies! Prior to adopting Luna, I offered in-home boarding for many years through Rover. Unfortunately she’s not a fan of having other dogs around, otherwise we’d still be offering that service. I also worked at a doggy daycare during college because I loved dogs so much, and I wanted to spend time with them even though I couldn't get one at the time. This obviously provided me with lots of experience in handling multiple dogs! I promise to love your furbaby like my own and provide lots of pictures and updates :) I work remotely on Monday/Thursday/Friday so I’m available for drop-ins or walks during the workday! Would love to arrange regular services over lunch time. As some who believes that pets are family, I promise to do everything in my power to keep your pets safe under my care. When I have hired Rover services myself, I love to receive lots of pictures and updates from my sitters, so I promise to do the same for you!

About: I’ve taking care of pets since I was 13. I currently have a blind senior german shepherd, and guide him when needed, giving him lots of treats and love. I also have a 1 year puppy and give her frequent time out. I’m planning on working weekends whenever needed to play with doggies and give them the care they need! I can feed them, give medicine, and care for blind and senior dogs. I put my dogs before anything and make sure they have everything they need. Treats, water, food, play time, medicine, supplements, nap time and love.

“Charlotte was awesome. The dogs were a bit over excited at first but she did a great job of calming them down. Would recommend.”

“Melainie is so great with our chihuahua mix, Bowser. Bowser is a great judge of character and is very selective with who he will allow to rub his belly and he loved Melainie the second he met her!”

“I have been using these 2 for a couple of weeks with both Wag and now Rover. They have been great to my girl. They are helping her get the energy out in a safe way and even working on her focus in public. Much appreciated ?”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life, I adore them and I'm always excited when I have the opportunity to meet and care for a new fury friend. I have 1 amazing, clean and well-behaved dog-baby. She’s sweet and high energy but doesn’t have playmates so this platform allows me to help out other doggy-parents and gives my dog an opportunity to meet new furry-friends. When your pup is in my care you can trust that they'll be treated with the utmost love, care and respect. My home is always clean and there is a dog park nearby. I respond quickly to requests and provide you with as many or little updates as you'd like while your dog is in my care. If there is a particular schedule/regimen your dog follows, please let me know and I'm happy to accommodate that. I welcome last minute requests and will do my best to help if I can. I work full-time from the comfort of my home so I have the flexibility to keep watch over your dog and tend to their needs. My home is always clean and sanitized. I have a dog who has updated shots and in excellent health. When your dog is with me, I take extra care to make sure they are safe. I follow all instructions given by you regarding food, walks etc. and if checking into your home, your privacy will be respected and your home will be secured when entering and exiting the property. I work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide attentive care for your pup, including walks, playtime, and meeting any special needs they may have. Your pet’s comfort and happiness will always be my priority. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, playtime, and love. In your home, I ensure pets feel at ease, follow their routine, and maintain a secure and nurturing atmosphere.
