Dog Walking Downtown

“Rut is great with Pepper. She picked right up on Pepper’s vibes and has been great at keeping me in the loop and being flexible with time when necessary!”

“Tori is great with our two large dogs. She came over to meet them before the first Rover walk and easily bonded with them. She arrived promptly for a series of 3 consecutive walks, and sent great updates and photos. We’re so glad we found her on Rover!!”

“Candace is very reliable and communicates well. I can tell she cares for my pup and his health. I really appreciate her and highly recommend.”

Nita M.

“Anne was a life saver for me and Ghost. I was in a pinch looking for someone to take care of Ghost for the two days I had an in-office training and Anne was super communicative and even did a meet and greet for us. The hour long walks helped break up a lonely day for Ghost and eased my anxiety about leaving him home alone.”

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and have cared for every age and size range, from puppies to seniors, small dogs to big dogs. I also understand the needs of anxious dogs. My own dog is very anxious, so I am very attentive to dogs' body language, their surroundings, and what they need to feel comfortable. I regularly walk dogs of different sizes and temperaments and have the experience necessary to care for your pet. I have a flexible schedule with plenty of time for walks, playtime, and drop-ins. I am available during the day and evening during the week as well as weekends. I understand the importance of routine and schedule. Does your dog have a favorite walk route or certain spots to avoid? No problem! No special request or instruction is too much. I will make sure your dog is happy, safe, and stress-free!

“Today was Cleo and Rockets first time meeting Jayme. He took Cleo on a walk and it went great. This visit is the first visit out of the 2 that we have scheduled with Jayme before we go out of town since he will also be pet sitting for us. Jayme was very attentive, listened well to our instructions, and asked the right follow up questions. Cleo and Rocket really like him so we feel great about having Jayme pet sit in our home while we’re out of town.”

“Jacquelyn is a great walker for my dog! She is reliable and sends lots of pictures. My dog doesn’t always like to walk for very long and Jacquelyn pets her and plays with her instead!”

“Lila was amazing at taking care of my puppies. My sitter cancelled last minute and she was willing to come in last minute to take care of my dogs. She was extremely communicative and kept me in the loop about the dogs throughout the entire trip. I will be booking again with her.”

Karen N.

“Katelyn is awesome! So easy to work with, so responsive, and Monte was so happy and well taken care of :) will definitely ask her to hangout with him again!”

About: I grew up with small dogs (specifically pugs) and would love to keep your pup company while you are away. I am located in NW DC. I work 9-5 in the office, so I am looking for weekend gigs if you are going out of town. I usually work from home on Friday so I can handle long weekends too. I live in a smaller apartment, so big dog owners should look elsewhere (though I love big dogs too). I am within walking distance of multiple parks and have everything I need to keep your dog safe and entertained.

About: I’ve been caring for pets my whole life, starting with my cats, Tux and Muffin, and then my dog, Inky. Because of the seasonal nature of my work, I haven’t been able to have pets of my own, but I regularly stay in practice by caring for my brother’s, uncle’s, and friends’ dogs when they’re at work or out of town. I’ll treat your dog with the same respect and affection I give my own family’s dogs. I’m in DC to be family, which leaves me plenty of time to walk or sit for your dog. I’m free during the day, in the evenings, and on weekends, and I’m happy to set my schedule around your pet’s needs. I treat every dog with the love, care, and respect they deserve. My brother is moving out and taking his dog, Auggie, with him, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for other pets in his place

“Great communication and care! Our senior dog is in good hands with calvin”

“Kenneth is great. He is prompt, professional, accommodating, and considerate.”

Heath H.

“Sarah was really friendly to meet and great at communicating when we were away. She sent us pictures of the pets. We felt good that someone was dropping by the house while we were gone. Additionally, we loved that our dogs were getting worn out so they didn't focus their energies on the couch! I will most definitely be contacting Sarah again when we travel.”

Jolyn M.

“Niamh was extremely communicative and flexible filling in for a long walk on short notice without having met my dog before. Definitely recommend!”

Aria V.

“Jondle was great with our older (and sometimes stubborn) French bulldog! She was very responsive throughout the entire process and made a point to come meet me and Eloise before she started caring for her.”

Gigi R.

“Marlene was great with Olive! She met her beforehand and was able to get her acclimated so there would be no problems walking her. She was great with her!”

About: I grew up with cats and now have a cat of my own who is like my child, so I totally get how hard it is to leave your baby! I will provide care, comfort, entertainment, and more to your fur baby so you don’t have to worry at all while you’re gone! I am available weeknights and weekends to check in on your babies! I also work in downtown DC and can pop over on my lunch break to say hello! I will make sure your home, and most importantly your cats areas, are always clean and ready for them to play, eat, and use the litter box.

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

About: I have a 4yr old cat named Onyx and while I do not have a dog myself, I have dog sitting/house sitting experience. I have always loved animals and I enjoy taking care of and playing with them. I take great care in following any instructions or special care requests you may have while your pet is in my care. I do not drive, so please be metro or public transit accessible! I do theatre as a full time job! This means when I am on show schedule, I typically work evenings and weekends. When I am not on show call, I work the opposite of those hours. This is to say my schedule is always changing, but I do my best to keep my calendar up to date. I love taking care of animals in my free time! My apartment will not allow pets in the building not stated on the lease, so I do not provide boarding. That being said, I am more than willing to provide care in your home, where your fur friend is most comfortable anyway! Beyond taking care of your pet, I am able to take care of plants, grab mail, and or any other house sitting tasks you may need while away. I understand the importance of feeling as though the person you are leaving responsible for your pet is trustworthy, caring, and easy-going and I hope to be that person for you! I look forward to getting to know you!
