Dog Walking Colmar Manor

“Nicole was able to pick up a walk request for my dog super last minute, was easy to communicate with along the whole way and I am so thankful!”

“We love Lilla she leaves the best report card notes and pictures. She's very attentive to our dog Rocky and lets us know if she has any concerns. He recently started new meds and Lilla noticed changes in his attitude and energy and let us know so we could monitor him more closely.”

About: I’ve had two wonderful dogs since they were 10 weeks old. We’ve completed dog training classes together and I’ve learned all about pet care through them. Im currently working from home and never travel because I have a toddler son and 2 dogs, so im often available on weekends for pet care and during the week for walks I have two friendly dogs to keep your dog company and a large house for plenty of play space. I’m also experienced with picky eating dogs.

“Tracey was great with Cassie. Tracey came through promptly and with a smile even when the temperature was topping a 100 degrees.”

“So gentle with our pup who was a little wary for the first walk. She had great dog sense and patience and got our dog to warm up. Always punctual, great pictures, and our dog is a huge fan! Also cleaned up a little accident - above and beyond!”

About: Im a DC based management consultant with a soft spot for “furry baes”! I’m an experienced pet owner looking to help out my neighbors. You can count on me to be affectionate, trustworthy, and professional. When I’m not working or pet sitting, you can find me at a gallery opening, a new restaurant, at the local movie house, or spending time with my cat Javier. I fostered a dog this summer, and although I loved her dearly, I found her a fantastic home and taught her a few tricks! I love animals of all kinds, and they love me back! Contact me to schedule a visit. I’d love to meet your furry family member! I was unfortunately laid off last year from my consulting career. But that’s ok! I now have more time to connect with nature, decompress, and nurture my inner animal lover! I believe the best sitters and walkers enter your home with good energy, as animals often recognize when a human is well intentioned. I know how to approach pets, and most importantly, wait for them to approach me.

About: I’m very dedicated to learning pet breed personalities and learning about your unique furry friend through intuitive care and patience. I’m available for pet sitting and dog walking, with activities tailored to each pet’s personality, age, and needs. Walks can include plenty of exercise and opportunities to explore, while drop-ins and sitting visits can include playtime, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, cuddles, and lots of attention. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I’m currently working part-time. My schedule allows for flexibility with my time, which will be dedicated to any and all pet care needs. I have a safe smoke-free space where your pet can help themselves to run, play, and rest on a nice soft bed. A home away from home. I can’t wait to meet them!

“She was just Amazing with my little fur baby! He was very well cared for and she sent lots of pics and for a shy dog he warmed right up to her🐾”

“Delina was fantastic! Communicative throughout, which I especially appreciated for my pup’s first rover experience, with a photo and thoughtful notes. Will definitely book again!”

About: I have had two dogs basically my whole life and an additonal three cats as of 2020. In my past I worked as a dog bather at a dog grooming facility. There I not only bathed dogs but also walked, played, and fed them as well. The shop had a cat rescue program so I also cared for cats in the same way. I have had experience with all shapes and sizes of cats and dogs as well as dealt with a variety of ages. I am extremely flexible right now, I can come as early and late as needed. I have my own car so distance isn't an issue. Whatever is best for the pet owner works for me. I am okay crating your pet if needed, giving them medicine, or just spending time with them. I am extremly flexibe and want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible.

“Annemarie is great. She is always responsive and communicative. She was always punctual picking up Dante and he loved his walks with Annemarie!”

About: Catie (KG) and Julie (second photo) tag team doggie care. Julie mostly takes the walks and Catie takes daycare and boarding with Julie’s help! What we offer is more of a pack activity group than typical dog sitting. We are very active and do as much as possible as a small group together including pack walks, runs, trips to the park, hiking in trails, hard earned naps, and group basic training and enrichment. We aim to strike the right balance of fun and rest to avoid over or under-stimulation. Catie: As a mental health therapist with an anxious dog of my own, I am particularly attentive to dog body language, signs of discomfort, and unique personality. I empathize that it truly sucks that you can’t just text your dog to ask how they’re doing when they’re in another person’s care. My aim is for the next time you arrive at my home, your pup’s booty will wiggle and communicate it all! In the meantime, I welcome your check ins and am happy to send you plenty of pictures and detailed updates. **Note: We are not the right fit for dogs who: are not regularly socialized with other dogs, need to be the only dog in the sitter’s home, are reactive towards or guard resources from other dogs, or just generally would not find our pack playing, walking, and basic training lifestyle very fun! My own dogs are central to our daily routine and get plenty of enrichment, runs/walks/hikes, play in the yard, basic training, and post-activity rest each day. We are very active and do as much as possible as a small group together. Pickup/Drop Off Schedule: We have implemented the following schedule for drop off and pick ups to help protect our pups routine and what remains of our lives outside of doggies 🙃 M-F before 6pm Sat/Sun before 9:30am E.g. if your trip ends at 7pm on Sunday we ask that you schedule your pick up for anytime Monday before 6pm. If we are able to accommodate, flexible drop off/pick up rate for outside of those windows is $30. Doggy Drop Off Room: If we are in meetings during your drop off/pick up times, or out with the other pups, we may arrange for you to use our doggy drop off room where your dog can rest until we are back (within 0-2 hrs). For all pick up/drop offs outside of M-F before 6pm we will arrange for you to use the doggy drop off room. We’ll provide instructions for access when you book. We do not do pick ups/drop offs after 8pm. I am happy to discuss and answer any questions you may have about your specific needs! We have a fenced yard, an indoor camera, gates and human grade rooms for doggy comfort, two crates, and more leashes and toys than one pack could ever need.

About: I have two cats so while I love dogs, I’ve maxed out the amount of pets allowed in my apartment. I’d love to get some quality time with dogs by caring for yours! I also love meeting and spending time with new cats so I’m always happy to cat-sit. I work for a non-profit on a hybrid schedule so I have plenty of time for your pets! I love both cats and dogs, and would love the excuse to spend more time outdoors that comes with regular dog walks. I also love meeting new cats, as each one is weird and lovable in their own unique way. I have an apartment with two cats and no outside space, but live in a very walkable and dog-friendly area for walks. I’m pretty flexible for timing of visits and walks, so can meet whatever schedule is needed.

About: I have experience with both large dogs, small dogs cats and caged pets. I have fostered litters of dogs and cats a few times in the past. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! Please reach out if curious, I am willing to work to accommodate you and your pets schedule. I would love to spoil your fur baby! I am flexible with my schedule, I am available every day starting at 4pm. I’m happy to provide care on weekends and nights as well. I live in a home with an unfenced yard in a suburban area in DC. There are plenty of areas for walking that are low traffic. I have 2 friendly cats who are happy to interact with your pets.

About: 🐶I’ve taken care of our Family Rottweiler, Mini Schanuzer and Elderly Shitzu mix. I’ve also had my Chihuahua since I was a teenager. With that being said, I am very experienced with dogs of any size from pup to senior 🐕‍🦺. I work from home which makes it easier to spend time with the pups as well as keep a close eye on them. This is extremely convenient if your fur baby has separation anxiety! I have a fenced in yard and two Fur babies to keep your Pup company during their stay! I’ve also got a large crate if needed.

“Booked Tobias to walk my dog. He was on time and send photo updates from the time they spend together. Jhana had a great time. Will book again if needed and can recommend him as a dog walker!”

Mattia C.

“Lesly is very reliable and accommodating! She was a huge help when my dog was sick but I still had to go into the office, keeping me updated on his condition and giving him meds after his walk. Highly recommend!”

Kelsey & Jay H.

“Christine is absolutely wonderful! Our foster dog LOVES going on walks with her! Christine is always kind and communicative, we really enjoy the photos she shares on the report card!”

About: I’m a recent law school graduate and lifelong animal lover with two cats of my own. I grew up with dogs and have spent much of my life around pets, so I understand just how much trust it takes to leave your furry family members in someone else’s care. With some extra flexibility after graduation, I’d love to spend that time helping care for pets in my community. Whether your pet needs feeding, walks, playtime, company, or simply someone patient to help them feel comfortable while you’re away, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved until you’re back home. As a pet parent myself, I know every animal has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow yours! As a recent law school graduate, I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s existing routine whenever possible. Whether it’s a quick check-in, a longer visit, or some much-needed playtime and company, I’m happy to be there. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I know that every pet has their own routine, personality, boundaries, and needs, so I’ll follow your care instructions closely and treat your home with respect. I’m attentive to doors, leashes, feeding instructions, litter boxes, and anything else that helps keep your pet safe and comfortable. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands while you’re away.

“Addison was very communicative, on-time, and gave our pup two different walk routes for back-to-back days which I really appreciate!”
