“Peter has been so great with my dog Milo! He has a history of anxiety and is not always great with other dogs, but Peter has been so patient with him despite his quirks! I look forward to continue booking him for future care needs :)”
“Victor is very friendly and responsive. He walks my dog on a regular basis and often is gone longer than the scheduled 30 minutes. He also took the liberty of cleaning my dog’s crate when she made a mess in it, which I really appreciate, and he also provides my cats with some love too during his visit, which I know they enjoy!”

“Simi is amazing. My pup loves her, she gives him a great walk twice a week. Simi communicates well and regularly, and even went above and beyond to clean his foot when my dog was bothering it. She is incredibly kind and compassionate, I highly recommend her.”
“Gem was wonderful! She kept me updated, sent photos, and was very flexible while stopping by to walk my pups. Since Ivy can be a little unsure at first, she took the time to walk them separately, taking one out and then coming back for the other. Once Ivy warmed up, she was happy and comfortable. I really appreciated Gem’s patience and care. I will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
About: I owned a dog for 11 years, have walked and boarded multiple neighborhood dogs over the past few years. I love walking dogs, taking them to the dog park, and taking care of them. I’m in-between jobs so my schedule is flexible and access to a car. As a runner, I love being outside and on my feet, and dogs give me a great excuse to do that! At my home, my first priority is making sure dogs don’t have access to food that would harm them. I’m happy to use an owners crate when overnighting dogs, but otherwise they sleep in my small dog bed.
About: I have 12+ years of hands-on pet-sitting experience. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, cats, and a variety of other animals. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique routine, needs, and temperament, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m a fully remote worker and I am available to give your pets as much attention as they need. Whether you prefer me to stop by several times per day or would rather I hang out with them all day long, I will be able to accommodate to your preference. I prefer to be as hands-on as possible and spend as much time with your pets as I can. My wife and I have a French bulldog of our own (that can be quite needy!), so I am accustomed to giving pets as much attention as they desire.
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have experience caring for pets of all ages and species. From energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior dogs and cats requiring extra patients, medication, and specialized care. I understand that every pet has a unique need, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away. In addition to cats and dogs, I have hands-on experience, caring for reptiles, including maintaining proper habitat, control, modern touring temperature and humidity, feeding specialized diet, and following individual care routines. Whether your pet needs frequent potty breaks, daily exercise, medication, or simply a calm and compassionate companion, I can provide dependable and attentive care tailored to their needs. I work remotely three days a week and my weekends are open. I can pop in between meetings to care for your pet and provide the attention that they deserve. My priority is maintaining their normal routine, so they feel safe, comfortable and relaxed while you are away. I follow each care, instructions closely, including feeding schedules, freshwater, medication, walk, exercise, playtime. I also make sure your home is treated with the same respect as your pets. Communication is very important to me, so I send regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind that your pets are happy, healthy, and receiving the care that they deserve. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets.

Felipe was very helpful, patient, and kind with my energetic dog! I really appreciated how understanding and attentive he was. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!
Vivian is great. I have 3 large dogs (2 of them are over 100 pounds) and she didn’t flinch about walking them. She came exactly when she said she would, sent me updates and took great care of them. I can highly recommend Vivian and look forward to using her again.
Zoe and Alec are great!! They were able to work around our tight schedule with ease! Zoe took Fig on a nice long walk and hung out with him inside and made sure he was comfy with sw treats and his favorite show before heading out! Will definitely be asking for their help in the future!
Victor has been an excellent dog walker for Louise so far. He’s responsible, communicative, and flexible and it’s such peace of mind knowing that my pup has a buddy that is checking in on her during the work day. We are really looking forward to continuing to work with Victor.
Absolutely lovely! Very accommodating and thorough. Gentle and kind with my baby any conversational. Early. Always on time. And communicative. I dont trust many people with my girl. He has been an extreme help in many ways and deserves everything that he works for and more. WONDERFUL person and just a genuinely nice guy.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your College Park. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
