Dog Walking in Deanwood, Washington, D. C.

“Gina was absolutely amazing. She was able to accommodate me and Mateo with short notice. Traveling on a holiday weekend did not go smoothly with flight delays and an unplanned hotel stay but Gina made sure Mateo was covered. She exercised, fed and watered Mateo. She also provided pictures of their visits! I can't thank her enough. Highly highly recommend using Gina for any pet sitting service you may need. Five stars!”

“MJ is fantastic! She takes great care to ensure Rae is enjoying her walks. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a punctual, reliable, and caring walker.”

About: I love dogs so much I had token in a stray one at once. But I had a pet yorkie once as well, her name was Diamond. She was a friends old pet and my experience with her was amazing. When I first met her she was a shy dog and she did not know me so I used some of my learning background on them and realized what I needed to be done. I just allowed her to get my scent and I didn't force her to like me I just at times pet her here and there. As time processes she came around and she gained my trust she would follow me and sleep with me. Her last owner didn't walk her outside much so outside was a whole new world to her. So I had to teach her how that the outdoors wasn't a scary place, it was hard at first but she trust me once again and loved the outdoors so much now. She trusted me so much that I was able to walk her without a leash, she would just follow right by side me. I can honestly say I got that dog out her comfort zone and bonded with her just from the knowledge I had on dogs. No help from anyone.

“Feriha is great with our young puppy! She was very attentive to our energetic pup’s needs. She arrived on time and followed our instructions. After each walk, she provides plenty of detail and adorable pictures. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and I’ve always loved animals. I grew up with dogs mostly in childhood and learned how to care for them. When I got older, my family began to own cats and I lived with some cats for periods of time. So I have strong foundational knowledge of proper pet care and how to show affection to any pet I’m spending time with. I’m currently very free and my schedule is wide open. Just let me know what you need and I’m sure we can work something out. I currently do not own any pets. I am under an agreement with my landlord which does not allow me to have any personal pets. However, when I take care of client’s pets I make sure to follow the instructions precisely as they leave them. I also spend a lot of time with the pet and play with them. I enjoy going on dog walks because of the exercise. I stay in touch with the owners if I have any questions about anything.

“Kelle was always my go to emergency contact if I had a dig walker issue and Kelle was always so helpful with our neighbor’s dog who absolutely loved her. Kelle has a natural kinship with dogs and they love her. My dog definitely waited to get pets from her every time she saw her. I wished we were still neighbors!”

“Kristely was great!! Caring and attentive with our pup. He’s always so happy and so excited to see Kristely. We couldn’t be happier with her care.”

“Serah was absolutely wonderful. She showed up when expected, kept me informed the entire time and provided great pictures of my dog. I had no worries and the process was very smooth. I would certainly hire Serah again.”

About: Over the past five years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and even reptiles. I’ve developed a strong understanding of their individual needs, from feeding and grooming to managing behavior and health concerns. My experience includes administering medications, providing daily walks for dogs, maintaining clean living spaces, and ensuring pets are mentally and physically stimulated. I’ve also learned how to handle emergencies, offering first aid when necessary and staying calm in stressful situations. Through it all, building trust with both the pets and their owners has been the most rewarding part of my pet care journey. Pet care seamlessly fits into my weekly routine by becoming an essential and enjoyable part of my day. Each morning, I make sure to feed and check on my pets, followed by a walk or playtime session to keep them active and happy. Throughout the day, I ensure their living spaces are clean, fresh water is available, and I spend time bonding with them through cuddles or play. In the evenings, I maintain a consistent feeding schedule and engage in more relaxed activities, like brushing or quiet companionship. This routine has become second nature, allowing me to balance pet care with my other responsibilities while ensuring my pets receive the attention and love they need. Caring for pets in my home and my clients’ homes involves a mix of consistency, attention to detail, and adaptability to the unique needs of each pet. I follow a structured schedule that includes feeding, walks, playtime, and grooming to ensure pets feel secure and comfortable. My home is pet-friendly, with safe spaces for rest, clean litter boxes, and pet-proofed areas to prevent accidents. monitor their health closely, providing medications or special care if needed, and give plenty of mental stimulation with toys or activities.

“Kordell a fantastic dog walker and friend to Andre. I highly recommend him for dog walks, cat sitting, and any other pet needs.”

“Good evening, I can’t recommend Paris enough! She took amazing care of my two cats and dog while I was on vacation for two weeks. Each of my pets has their own dietary needs, and my elderly cat requires extra attention, but she handled everything perfectly. She was reliable, communicative, and truly cared for my pets as if they were her own. I came home to happy, well-cared-for animals, and I had peace of mind throughout my trip knowing they were in great hands. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter, she’s the one!”

“Paola is great! My dog is stubborn and refuses to walk sometimes - but she was patient and would carry him like I do when he needed more than encouragement to get moving. My dog, Yoyo, is not used to strangers so my elderly mom who has mobility issues would join them so he would be more willing to walk. Paola was extremely patient - my mom moves slow and Paola was extremely thoughtful and caring with her as well. I am so grateful for Paola and will definitely reach out to her again next time I’m in need of help with Yoyo.”

“Denisse was so thorough! She even went the extra mile after walking our Miller and taking him to potty to pick up after him. We appreciate you so much for helping with our Miller man and for the extra pictures of him ?”
