About: I have raised three dogs through puppyhood, adulthood, and seniorhood (a pointer/border collie mix, Weimaraner/greyhound mix, and a Westie). I have been trained in puppy obedience and clicker training and pride myself on being able to work with any dog-- from anxious, temperamental pups, to rowdy balls of energy, to silly couch potatoes-- I am here to keep your fur baby happy, healthy, and safe in your absence. In addition to my own dogs, I have had the privilege of caring for countless other friends' and neighbors' dogs and cats, and since moving to DC from California have been volunteering at the Humane Rescue Alliance shelter as a sensitivity-minded dog walker and enrichment provider as well as a cat care provider. I love all animals and am happy to help! I am currently a full time graduate student with a very flexible schedule and available to accommodate pet check ins, walks, and additional responsibilities within my class schedule. Depending on the dog's behavior, medical history, and location I work to minimize risks to the pet's safety and remain alert and attentive to the dog's body language as well as our surroundings, regardless of whether we are outside or inside.

About: I’ve grown up with pit bulls since a very young age. Thus, not only am I a dog lover, but I am very familiar with dog care. I frequently take my dog on walks, bathe him, play with him, and feed him, making sure he gets the medications he needs. I know what it takes to make sure a dog is happy and has everything they need. I will be working part time over the summer with flexibility working remotely. I will be available to provide anything from walks & short visits to longer stays! I will clearly follow all rules and safety instructions you give me to respect your space and keep your furry friends safe. Just let me know!
“Elliot just started walking Buddy and I can’t say enough nice things. Elliot is very responsible, shares information about their time together and Buddy liked Elliot from the jump!”

About: I've take care of pets of all kinds since I was a child. I trained my dogs growing up and more recently have been dog walking and dog sitting for pets around my neighborhood. I'm currently working remote part-time which gives me plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am typically available mornings and afternoons on weekdays and weekends. I understand how pets and homes are incredibly important to us, and I would treat both your pets and homes with utmost respect and care.
“Alexa was great!!! She was so thorough with the care. She left detailed reports on how each visit was and brought me a lot of comfort and peace while I was away. Book her!”

“Daria did a great job walking my somewhat temperamental dog. She was very reliable and he was excited to see her every day. I would be very happy using her again. Highly recommend!”

“Maddie was incredible with Cherry. They had rapport right away. She was responsible, communicative and walked for an hour in the hot sun and rain to make sure Cherry got her exercise. Highly recommend her to all pet parents!”

“Tara did a wonderful job walking our 2 senior dogs who both need a lot of TLC… one of our pups is blind and the other has severe arthritis. I will definitely use Tara again!”
“Justin was wonderful! He sent check-in each time he walked and fed our dog Juni, and he clearly enjoyed spending time with her. We were happy to know he’s walked a few of our neighbors’ dogs too, so he was very comfortable with the neighborhood. I will definitely be hiring him again!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, from energetic younger dogs to elderly dogs who need extra patience and attention. I have cared for my own dog, which has taught me how important it is to be responsible, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I have also helped care for my neighbors’ dogs, including both senior dogs and younger dogs, by making sure they are fed, walked, comfortable, and given plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, and I always do my best to make pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but the rest of the week I am usually at home working or studying remotely. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I am also especially available on weekends, which is a great option for pet parents who need to board their dog at my apartment. I live in a pet-friendly one-bedroom apartment where pets can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I make sure to follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I also give pets plenty of attention, love, and a calm environment so they feel at home. My apartment is in a great area with plenty of parks and trails nearby, making it easy to take dogs on walks, get fresh air, and enjoy outdoor time. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while they are staying with me.
Friendship Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kristin was super patient and attentive walking our dog Ollie who can be a little nervous in busy areas. After only a few walks we just so happened to run into Kristin on the street and Ollie was super excited to see her — so much so that Ollie wanted to walk home with her rather than me! A ringing endorsement from our dog!

Natasha is an absolute lifesaver! I reached out last minute after an unexpected work event came up, and she responded almost immediately — no hesitation, just a quick "I've got you." That kind of responsiveness means everything when you're scrambling. But what really stood out was how she treated Boey. She didn't just walk him and call it a day — she spent extra time playing with him and genuinely getting to know him. You could tell it wasn't just a job for her. She's compassionate in a way that's hard to find, and Boey was in great hands the whole time. Highly recommend Natasha — especially if you ever need someone you can count on in a pinch. Will 100% hire again!

We hired Rachel to walk our dog for the first time this week, and we couldn’t be happier with how it went. From our initial communication, she was highly professional, punctual, and very attentive to our pup’s routine and needs. She made the whole process seamless. Rachel also shared an update and photos after the walk. Our dog came home happy, well-exercised, and completely relaxed. It’s clear she has a natural way with animals and genuinely cares about our precious angel. We will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog walker!

Justin was wonderful! He sent check-in each time he walked and fed our dog Juni, and he clearly enjoyed spending time with her. We were happy to know he’s walked a few of our neighbors’ dogs too, so he was very comfortable with the neighborhood. I will definitely be hiring him again!

Daria is a wonderful walker. Whatever the weather brings, rain, shine, or heat, she shows up with energy and genuine love for our Rosie. Her narratives about the walks anre excellent and very entertaining. I have great confidence in Daria and recommend her highly.
