My pups came back happy, and it’s such a relief knowing they’re in good hands. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker! 🐶❤️”
“I have been extremely satisfied with the dog walking services provided by Cornell over the past months. He has consistently demonstrated exceptional reliability, arriving punctually for every scheduled walk and maintaining clear communication throughout our arrangement. His genuine care for my dogs has been evident in the detailed updates and photos he shared after each outing, ensuring they received attentive, safe, and engaging exercise. I highly recommend his professional and trustworthy services to any pet owner seeking a dependable dog walker.”
“Caden was great with our elderly pup, getting her outside and taking care of business, which can take some coaxing. He was great with communications, and we just asked him to walk our pup again.”

About: I've taken care of dogs for the majority of my life. I love their companionship. I also like to remain very active and get outside to go for a nice walk, so doing this with a dog is the best of both worlds! I work from the comfort of my home and my job provides me with a lot of flexibility. I will have ample time to make sure your furry loved one gets outside a few times per day and also gets showered with love and attention! I understand that every dog is not the same and might require different things! I'm happy to and will be vigilant in following any and all feeding and care instructions that you need! I want to make sure that your pet is as relaxed and comfortable as possible!
About: I have worked with puppies for 3.5 years and loved each and every one of them! Nothing makes me happier. This is a dream job. Hello! I’m an experienced and passionate pet lover with a lifetime of caring for animals! My journey began in childhood with my poodle, Pepper, who taught me the joy and responsibility of pet ownership. I helped walk, feed, and play with him daily, which sparked my love for caring for animals. As a parent, I raised two wonderful dogs and cared for four cats throughout my daughter’s upbringing. I even worked at a puppy shop for 3.5 years, where I gained hands-on experience grooming puppies, cleaning their living spaces, and administering oral medications. Now my husband and I are proud pet parents to a 5-year-old French Bulldog, Lola, who has become the heart of our home as empty nesters. I take joy in cooking for her, taking her on regular walks, and making playtime a priority. With decades of experience and a true love for animals, I understand the importance of providing pets with the care, attention, and affection they deserve. Whether it's walking, feeding, or playing, I’d love to care for your furry family members as if they were my own. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs, routines, and personality to ensure they feel loved and secure while under my care. For dogs, I provide regular walks tailored to their energy levels, ensure they’re fed according to their specific dietary needs, and spend quality time playing and cuddling to make them feel at home. I’m experienced with preparing fresh meals if required and oral administering medications when needed. For cats, I ensure their feeding schedules are maintained, litter boxes are clean, and I offer plenty of play and affection (or give them space if that’s their preference!). In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and maintain the pet’s familiar routines to help reduce stress while you’re away. My goal is to give your pets the same level of care and love I provide to my own.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was young, and I have two cats of my own (Callie & Luda!) I’m dedicated to providing care that gives you a peace of mind throughout your day, or on a long trip! I’m a nonprofit worker who moved to the DMV area in 2024. I work full-time but I only go into the office once a week, meaning that I can easily work remotely while caring for pets across the area. This gives me tons of flexibility to drop by and let your pets out and give them a hug! All my weekday evenings and weekends are all open to dedicate my time to your pets! I’m committed to learning the ins and outs of your home and everything you currently have in place to keep your pet happy and healthy! I will provide periodic checkins to owners (including super cute picture updates!) and won’t hesitate to ask questions if I need to!
About: I am a lifelong pet lover and owner, here to help with your furry family! I use Rover for my own dog when I travel and know how important it is to find someone you can trust when you are away from home. I have decades of pet ownership and care experience with dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, birds, reptiles, and more. I also have experience as a Guide Dogs for the Blind puppy-raiser (2 years), worked in veterinary hospitals (3 years), and am capable of assisting with oral medication and other needs. Currently I have a 40lb pitbull mix who keeps me on my toes, but I have some extra time to help with your pet care! Sombra does not play well with other dogs, so she will stay at home while I care for your pet. I am a DOGE-d federal worker trying to make ends meet until I find new full-time work. At the moment I am available on weekdays and weekends. I will care for your pets in your home. I will respect your home and house rules and strive to follow any requests you have related to the care of your pets. My dog can be territorial and does not appreciate canine guests in my home.
About: When dogs come to stay with me they never want to go home. I love caring for dogs. When they stay with me they get so much attention and walks and playtime with other dogs. Your dog will have a blast. They will sleep with me in my room. They will go on adventures with me like going for a walk in the woods or just a nice stroll in the neighborhood. I am the best dog sitter there is. I am mostly home with my 1 year old. I step out when i have other dog jobs but when i am out my mom is here with my 1 year old. So there is mostly someone here all the time unless i am out with him. I do live in a apartment on the 3rd floor but that doesnt keep me from taking my dog clients out if they need to go out alot. I do have a balcony too.
“Emma has been absolutely wonderful. As a dog owner, I felt completely at ease leaving my dog in her care. She is professional, reliable, always on time, and communicates consistently, which gave me so much peace of mind. But beyond being professional, Emma is genuinely sweet and caring. Remy absolutely adores her. If he could talk, I’m sure he would tell you how much he loves her! Every morning, he would wait by the window for her to arrive, and the excitement on his face when he saw her said everything. I’m incredibly grateful to Emma and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to look after their dog. She is truly special!”
“Rosie does very well with my friendly but reserved older husky but also with my wild and crazy 2-yr-old foster dog. Two very different types! Looks like she can deal with most anything.”
About: As someone with minimal professional pet care experience, I bring genuine enthusiasm, responsibility, and a strong desire to learn. I’ve always loved animals and have spent time around friends’ and family members’ pets, giving me a basic understanding of their needs, personalities, and routines. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Because I work remotely Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, I’m able to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. My flexible work environment allows me to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins. I’m home all day, so pets are never left alone for long periods, and I can easily adapt my schedule to meet each pet’s routine. When caring for pets in their the owner’s home, I plan to focus on creating a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable experience for both the pet and the owner by respecting the owner’s space just as much as I respect their pet, maintaining a clean environment, locking up carefully, and treating the home with the same care I would my own. I understand that pets feel most secure in familiar surroundings, so I make it a priority to follow established household routines closely—whether that includes feeding schedules, walking paths, playtime habits, or special instructions.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs then owned two blue heelers: one hearing and one deaf. Happy to take good care of your sweet doggies and that you can relax while you are away.

Will invite your doggie(s) as part of our routine and happy to walk more than once a day- will give attention and be sure your dog is happy and comfortable
“Way to go Ashley! We have used Ashley’s service twice now and she has not disappointed. Our babies were well taken care of and while we were away we received regular updates regarding her visits and their walks. We intend to use her services again. I highly recommend Ashley’s service for anyone looking for a trusted and caring provider for your pets. You won’t be disappointed.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has been a part of my life for years.

“Sheila has been walking my dog Violet since July. She is trustworthy, reliable, flexible and caring. She has lots of expirience with dogs and can handle walking a dog that doesn't have the best manners on a leash! My dog Violet seems to really enjoy her walks with Sheila! She has been able to fit in a walk for Violet every single time I have asked, even if I have contacted last minute due to a scheduling conflict on my end. Sheila is very detail oriented and observant and will notice and alert you if something seems off/different about your dog. I can't say enough good things about Sheila!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little girl - and I have also grown up around pets my entire life! I believe my love for animals shows in the type of care giver I would be to your furry family. From puppies, to senior dogs, I have what it takes to adapt to each animal and care for their needs. I am currently between jobs, so my schedule is pretty free! I’m available to care for your animal in the mornings, afternoon and evening. Weekends vary, however my schedule is flexible. I will constantly keep your dog company, making sure they always have someone to play with, are well fed & most importantly, safe and loved.

Candice is extremely reliable and trustworthy with my big boy! She understands the limitations with my dog’s arthritis and is thoughtful with the walking routes. She is very punctual with her arrival and thorough when leaving notes about how the walks went. I will continue booking Candice for my dog walks!
Kaylee did a great job taking care of Bruce this past weekend! She was very responsive, easy to communicate with, and always replied quickly. I felt comfortable knowing Bruce was in good hands. I really appreciate her help and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Isabella is great! She is reliable, responsible, communicates well, and cares so much (which I appreciate). The boys report cards from their walk is so thorough and thoughtful. She keeps herself and the boys safe. She does meet and greets and always on time! I highly recommend her services if you’re looking for someone!
Risotto knows when his buddy Todd is coming by to walk him. :) Todd was especially understanding of the fact that Risotto had just had surgery and was very careful with him. Risotto sometimes barks at people walking past the house, but now does not bark at all when Todd comes by to take him for a walk...that's the level of consistency and steadfastness that ALL dogs need, so if you need someone who will take really good care of your pup, Todd is fantastic! Thank you!
Lynette did a wonderful job walking our dog, Baki! She was communicative, always on time, and very flexible whenever we needed to make adjustments. Baki was always excited to see her and go on walks with her, which gave us peace of mind. We would definitely recommend Lynette to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!
I highly recommend Jerrica! She responded almost immediately after I reached out, which was especially helpful because my request were last-minute. She is reliable, and punctual. I really appreciated how flexible and accommodating she was with my request. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. Thank you so much for being so dependable!
We’re so glad we found Alyssa. She was easy-going and stayed in great communication throughout, which meant a lot to us. Aoife and Klay can be a little particular and don’t always warm up to new people quickly, but Alyssa handled them effortlessly and they clearly adored her. It’s a relief to know they were in such good hands. We’d book her again in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Germantown. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
