Dog Walking Dupont Circle

About: My past work as a veterinary technician has provided me with years of experience caring for diverse breeds, specializing in coordinating complex feeding schedules and managing senior pets with health needs. I prioritize a safe and calm environment for every animal. I have been retired for two years, which makes me available all hours of the day. I am flexible with providing care on weekends as well as weekdays. If it is your wish that I do so, I am available to stay with your pet in your home if needed. Your pet will receive the same care I would provide to my own

“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.”

About: I've taken care of elderly dogs and cats that need daily medications and frequent potty breaks, along with puppies and kittens with boundless energy requiring multiple walks a day or a lot of play time! I have specifically worked with blind dogs and dogs and cats requiring specialized diets for kidney disease. Dogs and cats are amazing companions and deserve nothing but the best care. I have availability all day on Saturdays, Sundays, and Thursdays. I’m also free before 1 PM on Wednesdays. I’m less flexible on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays, but feel free to ask for availability on these days as well! As someone with many years of pet sitting experience, I’m very attuned to all types of fur baby personalities. Whether your pet is shy or outgoing, I will read their social cues and adjust my care as necessary.

“Alexandra took great care of my pup! I was provided with updates and photos.”

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!

“Sarah was phenomenal. We have a new pup that’s very anxious about strangers in the home and was giving her a hard time barking at her. She was so very patient and stayed longer than was required to work his confidence up to warm up to her. Her professionalism and kindness took a lot of anxiety off of us new dog parents! We will certainly be using her services again.”

“Kacey did a great job walking Pluto. She provided updates and we were so happy she was able to help out. Thanks again!”

“Cassey is the absolute best. She took great care of Chloe on her walks, going above and beyond. Always on time, always communicative, and always willing to help. Your dog is in great hands with Cassey. She knows what she's doing, and out of all the dog walkers I've used on Rover, she is manifestly the best one.”

“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.”

About: Hi! My name is Riley, and I would love to help care for your dog. I have two goldendoodles of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone who is trustworthy, patient, and loving with your pets. I have experience walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for dogs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just some extra attention, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, so I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you provide. I can’t wait to meet your pup! I am currently a graduate student at George Washington University. I have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but I am available for dog walks most other days and times. I’m happy to be flexible and work with your dog’s routine whenever possible! I care for my own two goldendoodles at home, so I have daily experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, and giving dogs lots of love and attention. I also understand how important it is to keep dogs on their usual routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. When caring for a client’s pup, I will always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including walk preferences, feeding schedules, leash rules, and any special care needs. I’ll treat every dog with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I give my own pups.

“Great communication and care for dogs”

“Ian was a pleasure to work with. He was punctual two times a day for 3 weeks. The dogs loved him, and he really exercised them for 30 minutes. He also helped me with mail, etc., as I am home bound recovering from a fall. I cannot recommend him more highly.”

Christine M.

“Camden is reliable and really took care of my boy, benny. They had a nice walk around the neighborhood, even though outside was pretty hot, they enjoyed their time together, I will book him again!”

About: I love dogs and cats, and miss my own pets as I’m away from home. So I would love to help take care of your pets when you need an extra hand! My availability is during weekends for drop-ins/walks, but can be flexible for days. I can’t wait to hear more about your pet, just reach out! I work full-time, so I am mostly free on weekends. That can be any time on the weekend, and if needed, can try for weekdays after work. For drop-ins, I will play with your pets and brush them if they enjoy that! And for dogs, would love them to take them for a stroll so we can both get our steps in!

“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!!!”

“Anne was kind and knowledgeable and made my first Rover experience positive one. I have a small breed dog with leash reactivity so having someone other than myself walking him makes me nervous, but Anne relieved me of my concerns. I would definitely use her again!”

Michaella H.

“Jamie is great with my pup Pico! He is adjusting to my work in office schedule and Jamie was flexible to check in on him twice just to make sure he was doing ok. Highly recommend her for your dog!”

Sarah D.

“Nicholas takes amazing care of my dog! He is communicative, prompt, sends pictures, and makes sure my pup gets a lot of steps. You can trust him with your pet without a doubt.”

Aleeza K.

“Jefferson takes great care of my big guy. He jumped in for a last minute need and now is our weekly walker. During our first meeting he took diligent notes which showed me his high level of care. Definitely will use again.”

About: I recently spent a month cat sitting. I loved hosting him. He warmed up to me quickly. I gave him ample pets throughout the day. I work from home most days so I am able to offer plenty of attention. I should be able to accommodate their feeding schedule! Happy to discuss scheduling as well as your needs and preferences! I am able to offer drop ins visits during the day within Dupont Circle, otherwise before or after work would be more realistic. I live in a small, open space, great for exploring and playing. I am quick to clean the litter box. Happy to send photos regularly! I am also able to sit rabbits!
