Dog Walking In Columbia Heights

“Naa Kuorkor has done an amazing job with Charlie. She’s been detailed with how the walks went and making sure that Charlie is content. She’s consistent with clear communication. I highly recommend her for your dog walking needs :)”

About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life and finally adopted my first two years ago! Well before my partner and I adopted our rescue, I was helping out family and friends as a sitter and walker. Whenever I was at a house with a dog, I always wound up being the designated fetch partner. I’m a dedicated caretaker who loves taking my pup around the block, to the park and on adventures. I raised and trained my dog from a puppy and have experience watching dogs ages 1-18! As a dog parent myself, I know how important communication, transparency and, of course, getting pictures of your pup is when you’re away from them. I’m excited to meet, walk and play with more dogs around the district! I work five days a week (M-F) from home, but my schedule is flexible and allows for me to take breaks as needed to tend to my own dog and pop out to care for others whenever necessary. Afternoons are ideal, but I can be available in evenings, mornings and overnight with advanced notice. My dog roams free at home, but she started out crate trained and graduated from there. I’m comfortable caring for a dog/dogs who roam free or are crated and have no issue retrieving them from there and returning them to their space as needed.

“Tamara walked our dog around the neighborhood and left her safe and happy back at home. She is easy to contact and work with and made sure we felt comfortable leaving our dog child in her hands.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and consider myself a true lifelong pet owner. From growing up with dogs and cats to caring for friends’ and neighbors’ pets whenever they traveled, I’ve handled just about every routine — feeding schedules, walks, hanging out, and playtime. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets and can confidently administer medications on schedule, whether that’s pills or drops. I’m patient about helping animals warm up at their own pace. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priority. I’m a teacher on summer break. My weekdays are completely open right now, which means your pet gets attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day rather than long stretches alone. I’m flexible with timing for drop-in visits, walks, and doggy day care, and I can usually accommodate early-morning or evening visits when needed. Weekends I have some availability as well, so I’m happy to help with house sitting or day care on Saturdays and Sundays when my schedule allows. I always confirm timing in advance and stick to your pet’s normal routine. When I’m caring for pets in your home, my first priority is keeping their routine and environment consistent so they feel calm and secure. I follow your feeding, walking, and medication schedule exactly as written, keep doors and gates secured, and stay attentive on walks — leashed at all times unless you’ve told me otherwise. For house sitting, I treat your home with respect, keep it tidy, bring in mail or packages, and send regular photo and text updates so you always know how things are going. For day care at my home, pets have a clean, safe space with plenty of fresh water, supervised play, and quiet time to rest. I’m comfortable with senior pets needing extra patience or medication, and with cats and multi-pet households where everyone needs their own space and attention.

About: I genuinely enjoy spending my time with animals and taking care of them. I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats including my own since I was in middle school so for over 10 years now. So naturally I’m familiar with daily walks and feeding schedules and making sure that the pets get the best possible care that they need. I’ve taken care of my friends and family friends cats and dogs including gerbils and many other small animals, making sure that they are fed and comfortable and well taken care of while their own were away and understanding their different needs. As of right now,I have 2 beautiful cats of my own who I cherish so much that I’ve been caring for over 3 years. I’m patient, reliable, and always focused on making sure pets feels safe, clean and well cared for Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I care for my two cats every day. I’m used to maintaining feeding schedules, cleaning, and making sure they are comfortable and well cared for. I also have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to fit in visits, walks, or check-ins throughout the day. I enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets fits naturally into my weekly routine. have two cats of my own who freely roam in a safe and comfortable home environment. I make sure they are well fed, their litter boxes are clean, and that they feel relaxed and cared for every day. When caring for an owner’s pet, I always follow their specific instructions and routines closely. I understand that every pet is different, so I make sure to respect their preferences and keep them comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Misha is super responsive, friendly & is very flexible for me & my schedule, which helps take some stress off of my crazy schedule. Will definitely keep booking!!”

About: Growing up in a house that always had dogs chasing tennis balls and cats ruling the furniture, I learned early on that a house simply isn’t a home without paws. I’ve spent my chdhood caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. To me, pet sitting isn't just a job, it's a chance to give your furry family members the exact five-star treatment, love, and attention I'd want for my own. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk to burn off steam, or your cat demands a precise scratch right behind the left ear, I'm here to make sure their routine is flawless and their day is thoroughly spoiled. I’m taking a break from the corporate world for the summer, so I have very flexible availability. I can make your schedule work for me When house-sitting or doing drop-in visits, my top priorities are maintaining your pet's familiar routine, ensuring their absolute safety, and treating your home with respect. Here is exactly how I handle care in your space: Home Security & Respect: I treat your home with the same care I’d want for my own. I always double-check that doors are locked, gates are latched, alarms are properly set, and keys are securely stored. I am exceptionally tidy and will always leave your space exactly as I found it. Strict Routine Adherence: Pets thrive on consistency, especially when their humans are away. I strictly follow your detailed instructions for exact feeding times, dietary restrictions, medication schedules, and preferred walking routes. Safety-First Walks & Play: During walks, dogs remain securely on-leash at all times. I stay highly alert to our surroundings, avoiding unpredictable interactions with unknown dogs or traffic. Transparent Communication: You will receive consistent, high-quality photo updates and detailed notes after every single visit or throughout a house-sitting stay so you never have to wonder how things are going.
