Dog Walking Capitol Hill

“Thank you Joseph!! He came to the rescue in a time of need and on a short notice. Fast communicator and knowledgeable of dog behaviors. Would definitely rebook and recommend to others.”

“Quincy was always great and very attentive with our dog! He would go out of his way to let us know about issues, and treated him well!”

About: I have been a dog owner my entire life. Growing up I had the main responsibilities of walking our dogs (shih tzu and Labrador) as well as feeding them. I’ve loved dogs my entire life and after college finally got my first dog! As a dog parent I understand what makes a great sitter: reliable, great communication, and a genuine love for dogs. I am excited to meet your dog and take care of him/her just like I would my own dog! Right now my weekends are completely free and my weeks vary from work from home to in the office depending on the day! I can be flexible when needed though! I have a great neighborhood to walk dogs in plus a nearby dog park. I will abide by your rules to make sure your dog feels at ease the entire time.

“Michael was awesome! He took great care of my pup and was very communicative. He was also available last minute! Will definitely book him again”

“Sylvia helped me out with a very last minute request, and I am so grateful for that!! She was communicative, gave a great update with photos and I will definitely use her again!”

About: I have been pet-sitting for neighbors for most of my life but have been consistently doing it for friends in the DC area for the past 4 years. I am attentive, caring, and an animal-lover, and I will treat your pet like my own! I currently work from home Mondays and Fridays, so am available during the work day then, and I am able to pet-sit various nights and weekends, too. I love to go on long walks, so taking your dog with me is a win-win for the both of us! I will maintain cleanliness in your home and follow instructions thoroughly.

“Mike was great and so patient with my anxious dog. I had surgery and could not walk her alone and since she refused to go without me, Mike let me walk with them until we could get her to go potty. You can tell how much he loves and respects animals and I hope once Kiele gets over her anxiety we can use him again.”

About: The child of a veterinarian and vet tech, animals have long been a part of my life! I’m comfortable and experienced with cats and dogs of all sizes, medical needs, training support, etc. I look forward to meeting you, and your pets! I work fully remote, with a flexible schedule, so weekday visits and walks are just as much a treat for me! I can also work from your home for a longer visit. Weekend availability per request. I am experienced with pet care in NYC and DC - safety and trust are my top priority for your pet and for your home!

“Briana has done great with my eccentric little dog Bailey! She keeps her company and takes her out while I’m at work, and is so patient with Bailey’s quirks and endless sniffing. I love the prompt and funny updates that Briana sends about their walks!”

Hannah M.

“Rosina is really great. We have an incredibly anxious dog (along with a more even tempered dog). Rosina came over to meet our anxious dog before her walks which was an enormous help. And then she deftly handled both of our pups on the walk - even coaxing our anxious dog out of the house twice. (I didn’t expect her to be so successful). On top of that, she was communicative and weary to work with. We will call on Rosina again and you should too.”

Tamara F.

“Nicole is incredible! She always goes above and beyond and clearly cares about the talks she looks after. My dog had recently recovered from hip surgery and Nicole was very patient with him and so responsive to all my nervous messages! I cannot recommend Nicole enough!”

About: I’m a reliable and attentive pet caregiver who prioritizes safety, routine, and comfort. I’m experienced in reading dog body language, recognizing stress signals, and providing calm, structured care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep owners updated for peace of mind. Morning walk or potty break Uses your habit of showing up on time and following routines • Feed & refresh water Same focus you already use with schedules and procedures • Quick behavior check Noticing stress signs (ears back, whale eye, pacing) I also understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel comfortable with me. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.

“Madelyn was so great with Chloe, I knew she’d be in good hands!”

Katrina G.

“Noah has been great, doing weekly walks with my VERY stubborn beagle. Noah is super responsive and good to my boy.”

About: I have dog sat for friends when they're out of town. I have watched my mom's cat for her whole life too. I love animals, I love playing with them, I love the excuse to get out for a walk, I love sitting with them, I love talking to them like they can understand what I'm saying. I genuinely enjoy hanging out with animals and care for them deeply. I work from home and have the flexibility to leave for a walk or run an errand whenever I need to. So if that means a 3 pm walk for your pup or a morning and evening feeding time for your pet, I'm here! I have a fenced in back yard, fenced in front balcony, and enclosed spaces throughout my home. I also have an open floor plan on the main level where I would feed your pet and hang out them mostly.

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and have experience volunteering with Lucky dog animal rescue and the Washington DC Humane Society. I’ve worked with different dogs from shy pups to super energetic ones. I know how to keep them comfortable, happy, and safe. I’m patient, reliable, and give every pet lots of attention, playtime, and care. Expect walks, cuddles, and photo updates while you’re away. I have had hounds growing up. I currently have a chihuahua mix Pet care is very fulfilling for me. I love dogs and will take care of your pets as they’re like mine. I will plan my day around walks, feedings, playtime and check-ins. I believe keeping a routine for dogs is essential to making them comfortable. Volunteering with animals has taught me consistency, patience, giving attention to dogs. Following owners instructions will help develop connections between pet owners as well as their pets when I work with dogs. I will ensure pets get plenty of attention and excercise. At the end of every session I provide a summary of our time together and include a photo.

“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.”

Julia B.

“My dog seems to really like Marshe, she’s been reliable and has taken my requests on short notice. I appreciate that as my schedule changes often.”

Tommie J.

“Thomas was great! It was our first time using him as a dog walker and he made it so easy and comfortable. He set up time for an introductory video call, took lots of notes on our dog Sammy and our cat Lucy, and was very attentive. Our plans fell through but we still ended up having him come over and meet everyone while we were there. Sammy came back happy from a great walk, and we’d definitely use Thomas again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets and babysitting for over 10 years! I just moved to DC from Chicago and would love to continue doing so. I am currently working part-time, so I’m available to dog walk or pet sit Monday-Wednesday after 5pm and any time Thursday-Sunday. I will take your pets for a long stroll before bringing them to the park to play. I can spend as much time walking/playing as requested.
