Dog Walking Capitol Hill

“Joash has been amazing with Murphy. He’s reliable, communicative, and very patient, especially while getting to know Murphy’s personality and routine. Kind, easy to work with, and I always feel comfortable knowing Murphy is in good hands.”

“Molly is an excellent dog walker! My dog loved her and yours will too. She'll take great care of any pup that needs a stroll around town. Five stars, no notes”

Jon L.

“Responsive, caring, and took great photos!”

“Gabriel has been amazing with Murphy this week! He’s communicative and reliable. Murphy can sometimes be reactive or a little stubborn about walking, but Gabriel handled him so well and was very patient with him. I really appreciated the updates, photos, and extra care during the walks. As I’ve been working long days, I had a last-minute care request and really appreciated that he was able to accommodate it. It gave me peace of mind knowing Murphy was in good hands.”

“Jen was fantastic in every way - reliable, responsive, flexible, thorough, communicative, and most importantly, so sweet and caring of our sweet dog. He developed a hot spot right before we left town, and she helped take care of that, taking his cone off for walks and then putting it back on again when they got back to the house. We couldn't recommend Jen more highly!”

Olivia P.

“I had to book Morgan for a walk from New Zealand, had never met her, and was a bit nervous about everything because of confusion relating to the international dateline. Morgan was extremely responsive and efficient, always getting back to me immediately, assuring me that she understood what day I was trying to book for (this is more difficult than it sounds). I will definitely use her again!”

Sarah S.

“Danielle has been a great communicator, prompt, reliable and very caring and careful with walking our timid and reactive small dog. We are excited to have found her and to have her as our regular dog walker.”

Alison W.

“Rebekah was amazing! So friendly and Charlie loved her right away. She came a bit early to do a meet and greet and was very communicative. After the walk, Charlie is so happy and energetic and clearly had a fantastic time! Can’t wait to use her again!”

About: I grew up taking care of 5 dogs, 12 cats, 2 fish, and 40 chickens. I absolutely love animals of all sorts and would love to offer any services with some of my free time. I enjoy spending time with dogs and cats and being active with them. But also have experience taking care of disabled and senior dogs and cats and accommodating for their needs. I've interacted with a large variety of different breeds of dogs and cats (small-large). Let me know if I can offer you any of my service, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible! I am available after 4pm Tues-Thurs, and available anytime Mon and Fri. I am available most weekends and holidays. I'm willing to negotiate time and price, let me know if you have any special requests or concerns. I review any safety concerns from the owner and familiarize myself with the environment and any potential hazards. My main goal is to make sure your pet is safe and cared for. They are my top priority every minute I'm with them! I love all animals and believe they deserve excellent care.

“Natalie is so incredibly sweet, punctual and great with my dog. She is very communicative and always takes photos. Very happy with her services.”

About: Most sitters are dog people who also take cats. I'm the other way around. My first cat was Peelu, named for the yellow spots he had, and I've been around cats ever since. Four years of sitting has taught me that every cat runs on its own system, and my job is to figure out yours quickly and then stay out of its way. Some cats want you to leave the room before they'll touch their food. Some need about ten minutes of being politely ignored before they'll come out from under the bed. Some will tell you very clearly that the water bowl is six inches from where it should be. I pay attention to that stuff. I'm comfortable with medication schedules, litter boxes, and shy cats who hide for the entire first visit. You'll get photo updates every time, including the ones where your cat looks deeply unimpressed with me. I do drop-ins and house-sitting around North Capitol Hill, so I'm usually a short walk away. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can do drop-ins in the morning, midday, and evening without rushing. Weekday middays are wide open, which is usually the hardest slot for owners to fill. I'm also around most weekends. For housesitting, I'm out of the apartment part of the day but home most evenings and overnight, so your cat gets company at the hours that matter most to them. I keep my Rover calendar current and I'll tell you upfront if I can't make a schedule work, rather than saying yes and figuring it out later. I only care for cats in their own home, which is where cats do best. A new environment stresses most of them out more than a few hours alone does, so I come to them. Drop-ins: I follow whatever routine you already have rather than inventing my own. Fresh food and water, litter scooped every visit, medications on schedule, and play or lap time depending on what your cat is actually in the mood for. I check doors and windows before I leave every single time, and I keep an eye on the things that tell you a cat is off: appetite, litter box output, hiding more than usual, any limping or discharge. If something seems wrong, you hear from me right away rather than at the end of the week. Housesitting: Same routine, plus I'm there overnight. I'll bring in mail and packages, alternate a few lights, and generally keep the place looking lived in. I treat your home like a place I'm a guest in, not a place I'm staying at. No guests, and I leave it the way I found it. Before the first booking I'll ask for your vet's info, an emergency contact, where the carrier is, and anything specific I should know: escape artists, cats who bolt for the door, food aggression between housemates, or a cat who needs to be left alone more than most.

“Roman has been walking our dog Lucy for the last few months. He’s reliable, communicative, and friendly. Roman is easy to work with and I know that Lucy is in good hands.”

“Elizabeth has been such a great dog walker for my pup Mila! She sends me the best updates throughout the walks and I feel great knowing that she’s taking good care of my girl. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a walker 😊”

Alina W.

“Professional, prompt, and communicative. We got alerts when our dog took our walk, great pics of our animals, and all expectations were met or exceeded. We would definitely bring Mason back for critter care again!”

Katharyn V.

“Emma is wonderful!”

Jeannie T.

“Talat is amazing!!! She is so caring and goes above and beyond for my 5 month old puppy. She teaches her things on their walks and even gave her doggy frozen yogurt as a cold treat on a hot day. Allie loves her!”

About: Hello! As a volunteer with a local animal shelter and wildlife rehabilitation center I have had experience providing complex care for animals with all sorts of differing needs. Growing up with, and continuing to care for, animals of my own has taught me so much about providing care at every stage of life. I have helped raise puppies, kittens, small chicks, and bottle fed orphaned wildlife. I am very comfortable understanding and respecting the boundaries of more reactive animals and will tailor my care to your pets individual needs and personality. I would be honored to be entrusted with your pets care and prioritize safety and communication above all else! I have a flexible schedule and will work with you in order to provide the best care for your pet/s where and when you need it. Safety is my number one priority, and I believe wholeheartedly in always acting with care and honesty. The care I provide is informed by your advice and individual needs, and the most important thing to me is providing a safe and comfortable environment for your pet.

“We're always glad to have Megan's support and Lucy loves seeing her! Thanks Megan!”

“Aleks has walked our dog Woody for the past 2 years and he’s the absolute best!! We feel so comfortable and confident that Woody is well cared for when he’s with him. He goes above and beyond to make Woody’s day extra special, and has even helped him feel more comfortable around other dogs. Overall, we could not recommend Aleks more strongly!”
