Dog Walking Fairmount Heights

“Natalie was so quick to respond and communicated every detail of her arrival and care of our Zella. This was Natalie’s first time meeting Zella, and their first walk together went great even though Z can be a bit shy and hesitant to new people in her older age! We will definitely book Natalie’s services again!”

“Tandy was super professional and kind. I lived a little out of the ways but she was happy to come by and take care of our dog. I scheduled her for a walk and she still came and walked her in the RAIN and got soaking wet. Even got my dog a towel and dried her off. Definitely will be booking her again. True heart of gold and very helpful.”

“Micaela was amazing and she is the sweetest! I messaged her very early in the morning to walk my dog Kato and she was at my apartment within 2 hours! Her responsiveness and communication throughout the entire booking was exceptional! My baby absolutely loved her, not to mention he was exhausted after their walks! Thank you Micaela, I will be booking again!”

“Lilla was fantastic!! Often going above and beyond to make sure our puppy had an amazing experience with her. She was very communicative and took plenty of pictures and/or video to let us know our puppy was doing well. Highly recommend and will definitely book her again whenever we need someone to walk Molly!”

About: Animals have a way of knowing right away if someone is truly present with them. I believe in developing that trust and making a new furry friend. Whether it’s an energetic dog ready to explore or a cautious, reserved cat who needs space before asking for chin scratches, I have an affinity for connecting with pets and treating them with respect. I have experience managing schedules for both dogs and cats keeping feed times, maintaining routines, and making sure your home stays clean and secure while you’re away. I currently work part-time, but I can adapt to your needs at a moments notice. I’m available for boarding on weekends and even weekdays if needed. My approach is based on consistent, clear communication and keeping your pet feeling completely secure, regardless of the environment. I honor your established routines, from feeding schedules and medication timing to timed habits and walk routes, predictably is key. If an unexpected situation or question ever arises, I will contact you immediately rather than guessing. Above all, I treat your home with total respect and care for your pet with the same attentiveness, patience, and safety standards I would expect for my own

“Ilia was great. Needed help with Simba’s nightly walk while my spouse was away on business and I had two kids under two. She was prompt on time and took great care of simba!”

Kenneth H.

“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.”

Erin W.

“This is our first time working with Delina, we are so happy to have found her! She is the sweetest, all the humans and our big mutt Louie immediately adopted her as a treasured friend. We look forward to many future visits (we hope)!”

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets. During the summer it was all I did. I’m currently unemployed so I want to have as much fun as I can with pets before I go back to school and work. Well I don’t care for pets in my home but eventually when I have my own space I would absolutely adore sharing my space with everyone’s pets.

About: If your looking for pet sitting, dog walking, boarding, or training I am your one stop shop. I'm a dog trainer, pet sitter, and animal lover. Dog Walks Do you work long hours while your dog's anxiously awaiting your return? We want to make sure your dog gets the potty break and exercise needed while you're at work. We offer Dog Walks to folks in the DC, Upper Marlboro, and Hyattsville area. If you don't see your area but you're still interested in service, send us a message and we gladly see if we can assist you. Boarding Training Are you struggling with your dog pulling on leash or running out of the front door? If you're looking for effective and efficient help with your dog's behavior while you're away from home reach out to me. We've worked with dogs that have been labeled aggressive, fearful, shy, and stubborn. Put your worries aside while you're away and put your four legged friend in only the best hands. We also offer one-on-one training at your home. **Send us a message for pricing information.** Dog Boarding Your dog will hang out with our dogs and our kids while you're away. He/she will enjoy potty breaks as frequent as every 2-6 hours and a lot of playtime with the other dogs. If your pooch would prefer to hang out with people, we can make those accommodations also. We can alway use a second shadow. For dog's that aren't great with other dogs or have unknown behavior around dogs, we offer socialization with dogs while boarding. -You must provide proof of current rabies and bordatella vaccinations. Your dog also must be on flea and tick medication. - Owner's must provide enough food for the duration of your dog's stay. If we use our dog food because enough food wasn't provided an additional charge will be accessed of $3.00/ meal. -If you'd like for your dog to be bathed and receive a nail trim prior to pick up that will be a charge of $15.00 -If you'd like your dog to get individual walks while boarding with us it will be a charge of $10.00 per 30 minute walk. **There is a short questionnaire that must be answered prior to boarding your dog. This will ensure your dog's safety, and allows me to provide your dog with the best possible care.*** Cat Sitting Our feline friends are alway welcomed for petsitting visits. We've worked with cats that are antisocial and those that LOVE attention. There litter box will be cleaned daily, fresh food and water, and plenty of playtime, if desired.

About: I’m a reliable and attentive pet caregiver who prioritizes safety, routine, and comfort. I’m experienced in reading dog body language, recognizing stress signals, and providing calm, structured care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep owners updated for peace of mind. Morning walk or potty break Uses your habit of showing up on time and following routines • Feed & refresh water Same focus you already use with schedules and procedures • Quick behavior check Noticing stress signs (ears back, whale eye, pacing) I also understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel comfortable with me. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I've been a pet owner for over ten years for both dogs and cats. I used to work at a Montessori school for dogs, as a behavioral specialist at an animal shelter, and as a Attendant at a doggy daycare, so I have taken courses from both the Victoria Stilwell Academy and the Karen Pryor Academy and have some experience with animal training. I am familiar with many temperaments and how to properly approach a new friend. While I am still working towards certification, I’d be happy to positively reinforce good habits as well as teach your animal a fun trick or two (this extends to cats as well)! I work full-time and my schedule is decided on a weekly basis, so my availability isn’t something set in stone. I am transitioning to a new job though, so I will soon be generally available on weekends and evenings. At your home, I'm comfortable with pets of all temperaments. I can keep up with dogs who want to play all day, or I can chill and provide cuddles to the softer, gentler pups. Some pets are content watching from a distance, and I can do that as well. At my dog school job, we had a detailed system of categorizing different "play styles", and at my shelter job, I often taught interested adopters how to properly introduce themselves to a possible new family member. I hope to incorporate that into my work with your beloved pet so we can better understand one another.

About: What we offer is more of a pack activity group than typical dog sitting. We are very active and do as much as possible as a small group together including pack walks, runs, trips to the park, hiking in trails, hard earned naps, and group basic training and enrichment. We aim to strike the right balance of fun and rest to avoid over or under-stimulation. As a mental health therapist with an anxious dog of my own, I am particularly attentive to dog body language, signs of discomfort, and unique personality. I empathize that it truly sucks that you can’t just text your dog to ask how they’re doing when they’re in another person’s care. My aim is for the next time you arrive at my home, your pup’s booty will wiggle and communicate it all! In the meantime, I welcome your check ins and am happy to send you plenty of pictures and detailed updates. **Note: We are not the right fit for dogs who: are not regularly socialized with other dogs, need to be the only dog in the sitter’s home, are reactive towards or guard resources from other dogs, or just generally would not find our pack playing, walking, and basic training lifestyle very fun! My own dogs are central to our daily routine and get plenty of enrichment, runs/walks/hikes, play in the yard, basic training, and post-activity rest each day. We are very active and do as much as possible as a small group together. Pickup/Drop Off Schedule: We have implemented the following schedule for drop off and pick ups to help protect our pups routine and what remains of our lives outside of doggies 🙃 M-F before 6pm Sat/Sun before 9:30am E.g. if your trip ends at 7pm on Sunday we ask that you schedule your pick up for anytime Monday before 6pm. If we are able to accommodate, flexible drop off/pick up rate for outside of those windows is $30. Doggy Drop Off Room: If we are in meetings during your drop off/pick up times, or out with the other pups, we may arrange for you to use our doggy drop off room where your dog can rest until we are back (within 0-2 hrs). For all pick up/drop offs outside of M-F before 6pm we will arrange for you to use the doggy drop off room. We’ll provide instructions for access when you book. We do not do pick ups/drop offs after 8pm. I am happy to discuss and answer any questions you may have about your specific needs! We have a fenced yard, an indoor camera, gates and human grade rooms for doggy comfort, two crates, and more leashes and toys than one pack could ever need.

“Jadyn did a great job with Lincoln! He was very hype but she was able to calm him for the walk. I will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for more than 20 years and have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and following detailed care instructions. I also have house-sitting experience caring for pets in their own homes, which has taught me how important it is to keep their normal routine consistent while their family is away. I’m dependable, attentive, and I love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are being well cared for. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a priority throughout the week. I’m available for house sitting, walks, drop-in visits, and weekend care. I enjoy keeping pets on their normal routines and can plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and other care needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow their normal routine and all instructions provided by their pet parent. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other areas are secure, and I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort. I also keep the home tidy and provide regular photo and message updates so pet parents can feel comfortable while they’re away.

“Deshayla is so sweet, responsive & professional. Would highly recommend!”

“He was on time and my dog Hondo liked him when he first came to the door and he was even happier when he went on the walk! We will use him again!!!!”
