“Caris did a great job with our sometimes-nervous rescue English bulldog. Caris is responsive, timely, dependable, and flexible, and also has great calming energy for our dog. When we needed additional walks added, Caris did her best to accommodate and help us make sure our pup was taken care of, despite a (well-deserved) full schedule. We would definitely trust Caris to take care of our dog again!”

“Rachael was fantastic walking our dog, and on relatively short notice too. Very communicative, good with updates and photos, and clearly has a natural way with animals - our pup warmed up to her immediately! Highly recommend.”

“Dylan is on-time, reliable, and helpful. When I accidentally locked myself out of the house, Dylan came by after hours with his spare key. Definitely recommend.”

“Nicholas is great !!! My dog is not too comfortable with other people walking him, but Nicholas is so patient with him. Seeing how excited my boy gets when it's time to go with Nicholas is everything a dog mom wants !”

“Jacquelyn has stole my little boy’s heart in a matter of two weeks! He adores her. She’s taking him on a new greener walking path which he loves. I am extremely pleased with her services. Way to go Rover! Your team is top notch.”

About: When I was 16 I was given the choice between getting a dog or a car… and chose a dog. I always have had a love for dogs, whether it’s having my own or being able to be around others. Growing up I had an English Bulldog that I adored. After I moved to DC, my roommate and I fostered a dog from the Humane Rescue Alliance and she was recently adopted! We had her for 4-5 months, and she was an absolute joy to have. She was found on the streets of DC, so I had to work with her on some things like walking on a leash and getting her basic commands down. Now that we don’t have her anymore, I would love to take care of others dogs! I work a sales job, so my weeks are pretty flexible. I have fully remote Mondays and Fridays so those are usually the best days for me to help out during the week, as well as the weekends. I live in a townhouse very close to meridian hill park and would love to take a dog on walks/to the park to play or just hangout!

“Jennifer was a great help and made sure to give Cricket the best experience - she took the pup for an extensive walk and sent photos along the way. She made sure that Cricket was well hydrated after too, given the heat. I’m sure Cricket will want to see Jennifer a lot more!”


“Lydia is awesome! Can’t say enough good things about her. She’s timely, communicative, and also I can tell she actually loves dogs and cares for them well. Definitely will be using her again!”

“Wendy is fantastic!! I have an anxious beagle that is very timid around others and she warmed up to Wendy very quickly during the initial meet and greet. She is responsive, communicative, and I knew my dog and two cats would be in great hands while I was out of town. I couldn’t ask for a better person to hang out with my pets!!”

About: I grew up around large dogs and I am comfortable and enjoy around all kinds of dogs, I love to go on runs and walks of all lengths! I am currently job searching and hoping to fill some free time with dog walking. My availability is very flexible especially during the typical work week. Has past experience walking large and jumpy dogs, and lives in very walkable area. Also comfortable playing with dogs to get some extra energy out!
“Emily is great. She is kind and patient. I had forgotten to leave out poop bags one day, and she picked it up using paper towels - legit!!!! Thank you for your wonderful service, Emily!!!”

“Thomas is so trusty! He’s taken great care of my dog, is very attentive to detail, and he’s great at communicating. I would trust him over and over again— would highly recommend him to anyone”


About: I grew up in a household with at least two dogs, so caring for dogs has always been a part of my life. As an adult, I’ve also lived with roommates who had dogs and regularly helped with walks, feeding, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m happy to stick to your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. I work remotely on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, which gives me the flexibility to offer dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I can plan my work meetings around your pet’s schedule to provide timely walks, potty breaks, feedings, or check-ins. I also have availability on some weekends and will do my best to accommodate your scheduling needs. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get fresh air under supervision, and I also live near a park that’s perfect for walks and exercise. Inside, my home is clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly, with plenty of space to relax and receive one-on-one attention. Please note that my home does have stairs, so it may not be the best fit for senior pets or dogs with significant mobility challenges. I’m always happy to discuss your pet’s individual needs to make sure my home is the right fit for them.
“Ella was a wonderful dog sitter and I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again! Very thoughtful and thorough check in reports with pictures and a summary each visit - definitely reassured me that my dog was happy and well taken care of while I was out of town. Highly recommend!”


“Anna Luiza has been so great with my dog and I will definitely be booking with her again! She has amazing communication. My dog is pretty anxious and Anna Luiza was so patient and willing to do slow intros so he could get comfortable with her. Thanks so much!”

“Michelle is amazing! Michelle took Charlie last minute (literally) to help me out as I had to cover a shift at work. I went with Michelle because we were fortunate to have her walk Charlie earlier this year when I had to go to New York for work. Michelle’s has shown the same consistent care and communication both times. She’s great and make sure to book her if you want to ensure your pet is well taken care of.”

“Meg is super responsive and did a fantastic job walking my dog! She was on time, sent cute photos, and followed the instructions. Would definitely recommend”

“I did a last minute request and he was available and accommodating! He listened to everything, reviewed my dogs’ journals without me asking, and followed through. He made sure my dogs had water prior leaving. I would definitely use him again! Thank you!”

“Kayla was communicative and informative throughout my time away. I appreciated it because it allowed me to rest assured he was being properly cared for and was in very capable hands. I wish look forward to Kayla caring for Balthazar (who is very stubborn) again.”

Jillian is so thorough when getting to know your dog before hand and realllly cares about animals. I immediately felt safe with her taking care of my most treasured buddy in life. I am so happy I found someone I can trust to walk Zoobey and care for her the way I would. And Zoobey LOVES her. 10/10 would recommend!
