“Carly is simply the best! She is so caring and great with communication. I love that I get pictures from walks every day and seeing how happy Baxter is hanging out with her. She even brings in our packages from the doorstep without being asked! We have been SO lucky to have her taking care of our boy the past few months.”


“Kaitlyn has been walking our Dog since we brought him home a few times a week. She has been great with him, always sends pictures and spends some time with him in the house when they are done with their walk. Highly recommend!!”


“1st time using a walker. I was uneasy/sketched about the whole process but Sarah suggested a meet and greet before I had the chance to. After speaking with her in person I felt more comfortable . She really keeps me in the loop,especially the 1st few weeks. It's easy to discuss the behavior of my furs and aids with the training of my new puppy by following my request to interact with her a certain way. Together we are starting to overcome the typically naughty puppy phases. I have an older dog who is very "stranger danger" and he is obsessed with her fiance that sometimes comes with her during the weekend. The obsessiom my dog has with him proves he is a good guy. One time she was unable to make it to a scheduled meet and greet and she genuinely had remore and worked out a compromise to resolved the missed dates. I would recommend her to anyone 10:10 . I have a rude cat,but I've seen from my Ring doorbell that my rude cat goes up to her and asks for attention and allow Sarah to pet her,this also proves me thst Sarah is a good person ,because my rude cat does not really like many people, especially strangers.”


About: I don't just walk your fur baby; I truly love bonding with them, which ultimately means happier, more comfortable pups. I also love being able to get my steps in so your kiddo will get longer, more fulfilling walks rather than just quick bathroom breaks. I currently maintain our mini zoo at our home of cats, dogs, fish, and chicken so I am available anytime between 10:30 am and 4 pm on any given day. Depending on the circumstance and request, I am also willing to do night walks/check in sesh after 630 pm. I have a fenced in back yard and an enclosed doggio. We do have a reactive dog that lives in our home so I am unable to do any doggy play dates but we walk him everyday so I understand first hand needing to get those walks in! Our cats demand play time as well and each have their own particular way of enjoying to play whether it be chasing a string, or a jingle ball. We even have two cats that we play fetch with!

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a little girl, having cats since a toddler. When my sister got her first dog, I watched after her a lot since I was studying from home and she was a puppy who we knew needed more often potty breaks and care. When she got her next 2 puppies, I also watched after them while they were little ones. I have cared for dogs who take medication and dogs who need a little more TLC. Ultimately, I have experience with dogs and cats and love both so much. My best friend is a vet and her husband an emergency vet (sadly they're in Georgia), but its comforting knowing I have them in my pocket for any emergencies. I currently work M-F but am off on the weekends. I have finished my board exams and awaiting completion of school, so I am looking for something to do on the weekends I enjoy, and what better way to do that than caring for adorable animals! My home is on the third floor and does require stairs. I do live in a pet friendly apartment complex which means I have a dog park in my apartment complex and walking paths to walk dogs.

About: I love pets of all kinds, shapes, and sizes. I accept all personalities coming from an owner of a very mischievous husky and a reactive senior pup. I have several years of dog walking and sitting in DC as well as working at veterinarian offices. I am also currently enrolled in nursing school so am no stranger to any medically necessary situations. I will always ensure to treat your pet like my own and make sure they grown to love me like their own! I currently work nights part time at UMMC as well as am enrolled full time in nursing school. Though that might sound like my schedule I’m jammed pack, I have plenty of breaks in between for your beloved pups! I also enjoy quality time outside and would love to have a fur friend to join me. I currently do not do pet sitting in home or out as I have a 3 year old toddler I simply cannot spend time away from and my senior pup is unfortunately dog reactive.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 15 years, when I got a puppy for my kids. A few years later we adopted another dog as a companion. Our dogs are part of our family. I have experience from puppy through senior pup, which includes giving medications. I’ve also worked as a Veterinary Technician and volunteered as a dog walker at a shelter. Both were rewarding experiences which provided me additional practice with sick pet care and leash walking. I am available most days and evenings. I’m available to travel to make home visits, and can walk your pet in your neighborhood or take them to a local dog park or other type of recreation area. We have a gated deck and fenced in area for our dogs. We have one small senior dog who gets along well with both dogs and cats.

About: Every dog deserves care that feels like home... whether it’s a walk around the block, a weekend sleepover, or a friendly pickup for some mid day tail-wagging fun! I tailor every visit to your pup’s pace, personality, and preferences, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved the entire time. I’m currently co-parenting three fur babies of my own, so I understand the trust it takes to put your dog in someone else’s hands. That’s why I treat every pup like family. Walks with me are never rushed. Rain or shine, we go at your dog’s speed and style, from slow strolls to energetic trots. And when I’m dog sitting, I keep things calm, consistent, and full of affection (and treats if allowed!). Because your dog deserves the best and I love being the person who gets to give it to them. 🫶🏾🐾 I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I’m able to adjust to your dog’s needs and schedule. I always treat a client’s home with respect and follow any specific instructions provided... whether that’s how to access the home, where to find the leash, or how to lock up after. I take my time getting your pup leashed up calmly and safely, making sure they’re comfortable before heading out. After each walk, I make sure they have water, are settled in, and that you receive a detailed update with photos. I aim to create a smooth, stress-free experience for both you and your dog every time.

About: Hi there! I'm a retired animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for pets of all kinds. From dogs and cats to chickens, hamsters, and birds, I’ve had the joy of sharing my life with animals for as long as I can remember. I have pets of my own, which include two dogs (a Chocolate Lab and a Siberian Husky), three cats, and a flock of backyard chickens, so I’m no stranger to a busy, pet-filled home! I provide gentle, attentive care and understand different personalities. I’m also experienced in administering oral medication and maintaining routines to keep pets happy and healthy. Whether you're heading out of town or just need a little help, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and right at home. As someone who is retired, I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to pet care throughout the day and week. Caring for animals is already a big part of my routine, as I currently have two dogs, three cats, and backyard chickens, so I’m used to staying on top of feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and clean-up. My open schedule allows me to provide consistent, reliable attention to your pets, whether it’s for drop-ins, walks, or last-minute bookings. I truly enjoy spending my time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners can relax and know that they are safe and looked after! When caring for pets in their home, I respect their space and routines, I make sure everything is done just as the pet is used to. I take time to bond with each animal, keep things clean, and send regular updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is always to keep pets relaxed and maintain their routine, so they feel at ease while you’re away.

“Madelaine was great. She followed all the directions I gave her and took really good care of Enzo. She also took super cute pictures of my dog during the walk. Itotally recommend her!”


“Samm is amazing! Our last dog walker moved out of the area and we did a lot of meet and greets and immediately knew that Samm was going to be a great fit. She very flexible and reliable and take great care of our three dogs. One of pups is a senior and need extra help and Samm is great with her! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a new walker.”

About: I have 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all kinds. I currently co-parent a 3-year-old pitbull mix who I’ve raised since he was a pup. Over the years, I’ve helped semi-train three dogs of different breeds, and I’ve also cared for several cats throughout my life. I’m comfortable with all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m a stay-at-home parent with a child in school, so my weekdays are quiet and structured — perfect for caring for pets who need consistency and calm. I’m home most of the day and have a very open schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, playtime, and care. I also serve in the National Guard one weekend a month, but I schedule bookings around that to make sure each pet gets my full focus and love. In my home, pets will be cared for in a calm, clean, and safe environment. I make sure they have plenty of space to relax, play, and feel comfortable. I don’t allow roughhousing or risky behavior, and I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine to help them feel right at home. Whether they need extra snuggles or a quiet corner to nap, I’ll adjust to whatever makes them feel most secure and loved.

Allison G.Star Sitter
“I had the pleasure of working with Ali, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the moment I met her, it was clear she has a genuine love for animals. My dog instantly connected with Ali —a testament to their kind and patient nature. Throughout the entire time I was away, I received regular updates with adorable pictures and messages, which put my mind at ease. It was evident that Ali went above and beyond to ensure my pets were comfortable, well-cared-for, and even entertained! They followed my instructions to the letter and even took the extra step of ensuring the house was kept tidy. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely passionate about caring for your pet like you would, Ali is your go-to girl. I’ll definitely be booking again! My dog was so happy, and I returned home to a peaceful, well-adjusted home. Thank you, Ali, for providing such exceptional care!”
