“Gina has been phenomenal with my energetic pup! I didn’t intentionally book with her at the start of the hottest summer on record in DC, but that’s how things worked out. I don’t think she has had a single pleasant weather day since she began walking Remy, yet she has been incredibly professional and mindful of my baby boy’s needs on scorching summer days. And Remy adores her! We are so thankful for you, Gina!”
“Jayla Communicates very well and always on time! Just great with My Dog. I missed booking her once and it was a disaster with the other walkers.You can clearly see the difference.”
“Andrea is extremely sweet and always on time. I always can depend on her even if it’s on the last minute. She’s very dependable and I would definitely recommend her. She is very reliable!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was around 5 years old, I have always had a Chihuahua, when I turned around 10 I added a Pitbull to my family. Been taking care of all types of dogs since I was a teenager including but not limited to German Shepherds, Great Danes, Doggo Argentino, Pitbulls, and Chihuahua. Current Student looking for a side hustle doing something she loves :) I always have time for pets, I have an open schedule and if I do not I have the ability to move my events around. Most times at home and if not my husband has flexibility to be home. Caring for my pets I will start with having them separate from my personal dogs while slowly introducing them in order to avoid any bad events. If at clients home I will care for pet by giving them lots of treats and playing.
“Bria has provided such amazing service. She has done things like wipe our pet’s feet after a walk and bring in packages (which, I’m today’s porch pirate environment is a real help when I’m out of town). She is my go to for Magnus.”
About: I have always had a dog in my family, as well as my own dog. I am always fostering dogs from the shelter as well! I have off Friday- Sunday rotating every 2 weeks. I also have off two or 3 days during the week on the offset week. Message me your dates so I can give you my specific days during that time! My live in best friend works the opposite schedule, so someone will always be home with the pup! Our back yard is very spacious and all of it is fenced in and secure. I will keep your dog on the same schedule as they were on before.
About: I’ve taken care of several pets since I was young. I had several dogs and cats (sometimes at the same time!). I love walking and playing with dogs, I’ve trained my puppy. I have taken care of big and small dogs. I have also taken care of kittens and adult cats. I have litter trained kittens and played with them often. I currently work full time, but am more than happy to watch your fur baby on my days off! I have days off where I have no plans and would love to spend it with more dogs or with your cat! I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies (dogs) of my own who are friendly and can keep your fur baby company. I am use to watching other people’s fur babies in a 24 hour care setting.
“Andre is an amazing handler. He is patient, understanding and diligent with his connection. He’s always professional, very reliable and timely . Having Corsos I was concerned with his ability to win my fur babies over. Andre is a blessing!”
“I am so lucky to have found Jelisa! Deli LOVED her at our meet and greet. The communication has been awesome and she has been very attentive and caring with feeding, walking and hanging out with my puppy. Truly 5 stars and we will definitely continue using Jelisa’s wonderful services!”
About: I am a cat mom of four. I’ve always loved taking care of animals from a young age neighbors and family mostly. I currently am a dog walker for an a small company (yes my cats are super jealous haha!) I want to start finding my own clients and really do what I love most! I do not have a conflicting schedule. I will typically have full availability on weekends! Monday through Friday I’m typically free early mornings, between 11am-1pm and after 3pm. I always take time to learn the temperament of every pet so I can find out how we can become the best of friends. Safety and comfort is my top priority for pets in my care . I am always timely, and make sure to follow detailed instructions left by the owner (food amount/ schedule, medications etc). I love giving lots of pets and tummy rubs- and spoil them with treats (if that’s okay with the parents :)
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 13 years old. I would knock on my neighbors doors and ask if they needed me to walk there Puppies and they’ve always had positive remarks about me walking their babies. I am currently working part-time so I have enough time to walk and care for your babies while you do other things that are important to you I have a open patio, but as long as I’m caring for your puppy, they will be on a leash secured while outside and in my home, they will be free to roam around and explore

I follow all routines closely, make sure homes and leashes are secure, and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety in every visit or walk.
