“Edward was amazing! I booked him for a week of walks in the morning and night. He was reliable, kind, and went above and beyond with our dog. Will definitely book with him again.”
“Ziggy LOVES hanging out with Michael! He's been able to take him out consistently every day for walks. Michael's very responsive & engaged. Highly recommend.”
“Isabelle is great! She is very organized, reliable and communicative. My dog falafel can be high maintenance, she was accommodating and great to work with.”
“Briana is so great with our very shy pup, Ruthie! Ruthie is often too scared to leave our house with anyone but us, however, Briana has slowly but surely been able to get Ruthie to explore the neighborhood with her. Briana is kind/patient with Ruthie, and she's super aware of Ruthie's quirks.”
“My two boys (Biewer Terriers) live full time in a different state and come to visit me for some periods of time. I was worried about leaving them alone all day since they are very spoiled and anxious. Diego has been walking them out twice a day for the past 4 weeks and they look happy and relaxed. Diego has been reliable, very responsive to communication, and has followed the given instructions about the specific care for my boys. He was also very easy to contact and took the job without hesitation. I wanted to extend my boys’ stay, but Diego was already booked! I will definitely try to book him again when they come back and recommend his services to anyone anxious about ensuring the best care and experience for the pets.”
“Mark is excellent with Chicory. He adjusts based on her needs, keeps her engaged, and is reliable. Mark communicates availability, maintains his schedule, and Chicory really enjoys her walks with him.”
“Logan kept my mind at ease as she watched my pug while was away for a week. I got multiple daily check-ins and she was easy to reach if I needed to know anything. I would hire again!”
“Beck has been great with our dog Storm! She shared updates and checks in to see if Storm is getting all the exercise she needs during her mid day walk. We recommend working with her!”
“Ash has been great visiting Meeko at lunch time! She offered to come meet him before the first walk and our pup is so happy to have some midday attention while we’re at the office.”
“Hayley walked Sidecar and made sure she had all the information needed to take care of him by reading through his profile and confirming it was updated. The pictures she took were great, too!”
“Chelsa has been a great find and help to us with dog walking on our days away from home. She is always on time, responsive and gives us great readouts of the walks along with photos and updates on little things, like encounters with other dogs, people or otherwise. We trust her coming and going from our home and are happy to have her help with our pup!”
“Jake was awesome and took our pup out on a walk. He was very communicative and punctual. We trust him to care for our dog anytime and will definitely be booking him for future walks!! Our pup and his also love playing together. Thanks Jake!!”
About: I grew up in a sea of kittens! One of those kittens, Bindi, was my companion for 16 years. During that time, I fostered more kittens, baby squirrels and even baby bats! My pet-care experience expanded significantly when I agreed to house-sit on a small farm, and during that time, I helped raise baby chicks, while tending to horses and a pig named Alfred! The farm also had multiple family dogs, dogs that I seemed to be constantly chasing after. I currently have a completely open schedule apart from Sundays. Recently moved to DC from the Pacific Northwest and enjoy walking and exploring this historic city. By paying attention to the pet and house rules first. Forging good communication between myself and the client. Paying full attention to the client's fur child upon every visit.
“Kate was great with my two little dogs and was able to come on short notice to help me out. She is very punctual and gives a detailed account of their walks. Highly recommend.”
“Nicole and Kieran did a great job walking my dog! It was easy to set up a meet and greet, and they were very attentive to my dog’s needs to make sure that she got the best possible experience. I’d be happy to work with them again in the future!”

Samantha M.
“I've known Sam for years. Every cat, dog (even ferocious ones) that Sam's encountered love being around her. It's evident that the relationship she has with animals is insanely special. They respond positively to her presence, even horses, pigs, and chickens! She house-sat for an extended time on a small farm, and the animals would follow her when she would walk in an enclosed field. She's house sat for us on many occasions and I never worried about our fur-babies because I know how much Sam loves and dotes on them. She follows instructions precisely and asks if she can brush them on a daily. She understands the importance of taking loving care of cats and dogs. She's one of the few people I trust to house-sit and take care of our fur-babies.”
