Guiselle was absolutely wonderful! She was very kind, patient, and professional from start to finish. She sent great pictures during the walk and kept me updated with clear and consistent communication, which I really appreciated. The routes were well planned, and she made sure my dog got a thorough walk, even exceeding the scheduled time. She also made sure my dog had water for hydration afterward, which meant a lot to me. It was obvious she truly cares about the dogs she works with and takes her role seriously. I felt completely comfortable and confident leaving my dog in her care and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend Guiselle to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!

About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life and finally adopted my first two years ago! Well before my partner and I adopted our rescue, I was helping out family and friends as a sitter and walker. Whenever I was at a house with a dog, I always wound up being the designated fetch partner. I’m a dedicated caretaker who loves taking my pup around the block, to the park and on adventures. I raised and trained my dog from a puppy and have experience watching dogs ages 1-18! As a dog parent myself, I know how important communication, transparency and, of course, getting pictures of your pup is when you’re away from them. I’m excited to meet, walk and play with more dogs around the district! I work five days a week (M-F) from home, but my schedule is flexible and allows for me to take breaks as needed to tend to my own dog and pop out to care for others whenever necessary. Afternoons are ideal, but I can be available in evenings, mornings and overnight with advanced notice. My dog roams free at home, but she started out crate trained and graduated from there. I’m comfortable caring for a dog/dogs who roam free or are crated and have no issue retrieving them from there and returning them to their space as needed.

About: My own golden retriever lived to nearly 15, and caring for her through every stage of life is what gave me a real understanding of what dogs need and what their owners worry about. I don’t take that lightly when I’m caring for someone else’s dog and I treat each one as if they were my own! I’ve worked with dogs of all ages and personalities, from brand-new puppies to seniors, and from the shyest wallflowers to the most enthusiastic greeters. I’m comfortable with leash training for puppies and administering supplements and medications for older dogs with established routines. Midday walks are one of my favorite parts of the day, and I’m also available for drop-in visits when that’s all your pup needs. Either way, you can count on your dog getting genuine, attentive care while you’re away. As a remote worker, I have a flexible day and would love to break it up with outdoor activities with your dog! Aside from times when I have meetings, I am available to go and let out your pet or go for an outdoor activity. I always defer to the owners instructions for a visit and follow them to a tee. Whether your dog just needs a quick outing and play time inside or a longer walk in a certain route, I am able to provide whatever your dog needs to have a good visit!

About: I’ve been around dogs since the womb. I have had big (100 lb+) dogs my entire life and am the primary trainer and walker of my families current dog. I am a biology student home for the summer and would love to hang out with your dog! I am available at basically any time/ day of the week when I am in DC. If you need your dog walked IM THERE. As a college student home for the summer I will take every and all odd-job :) I care a lot about keeping dogs engaged, whether it be through walking, running, playing fetch, or just spending time with them. I also know what it’s like to have reactive pets and to interact with reactive pets— I know how to avoid un-ideal pet interactions. I have a small fenced yard at home and a sweet 8 year-old dog who loves other dogs and people.

I am so grateful for Thomas the incredible care he takes of my 3.5yo Great Dane! Thomas is a consummate professional, from diligence with all my requests to even thinking proactively about the weather. He is truly a wizard at capturing action shots, too! His detailed descriptions of the walk and fun pictures are such a ray of sunshine to receive in the middle of my work day. My Dane has some dog reactivity and I am grateful for Thomas’s ability to work around his needs. Thomas has been walking him for two weeks now and I will happily keep booking him for as long as I can.

Bruno and Victoria have walked and dog sat for my dog on multiple occasions and have also done some cat check ins. It is apparent that they are animal lovers and treat others' pets as their own. My dog is always ecstatic to run into them in the neighborhood so I know they take great care of her and give her lots of love while I am away. They have always been very communicative and reliable and are willing to work with my dog as she has some reactive behaviors on leash. I would definitely recommend booking Bruno to care for your pets!
