Dog Walking Glover Park

“Camden is reliable and really took care of my boy, benny. They had a nice walk around the neighborhood, even though outside was pretty hot, they enjoyed their time together, I will book him again!”

Federica R.

“Emma was great and super patient with our pup who was having a bit of anxiety and anxiousness. She regularly walks our pup and we'll keep having her walk our him in the future.”

About: I’ve owned pets, both cats and dogs, my whole life. Now that I’m living in the city and far from my family’s dogs, I miss the energy that a dog brings to everyday life. I work remotely from home with flexible hours. I am working on getting my steps in, so I’m happy to take pets on frequent short or long bathroom breaks or walks. I care for pets making sure the home is stocked with food and water, litter is clean, and that the space is friendly. I like to leave some toys around to encourage activity when I’m not present.

“Theo was fantastic with my high energy dog! Thank you for being patient and entertaining him!”

About: I've taken care of animals my whole life and, more recently, I was a dog sitter for a very rambunctious puppy for several months. I also cared for my late dog well into her teens, so I am very comfortable looking after elderly animals. Oh, and I'm not just a dog person! I routinely look after my sister's cat. I work part-time, often during odd hours in the evenings, so I have plenty of availability during regular 9-to-5 hours! I also have a very flexible schedule and can usually work something out. Every animal is different! Providing care to an animal will look very different depending on the animal's age, health, or personality/temperament. I'm always happy to accomdate!

About: Instead of going to sports practice, I would go to dog training! We had just gotten our new puppy Olive, and my mom thought it would be fun for me to train her. Many of my best memories with Olive are going to the Arby's drive through and then to PetSmart training. I have always loved dogs and having this time with Olive was so special to me. I adore all types of pets whether they are energetic or slightly lazy. I know that it can be difficult for pet parents to kennel their pets or leave them at home during your 9-5. My hope is to help you relax knowing that you have a responsible and loving person hanging out with your pets! I am a graduate student so my days are flexible! Classes are held in the evenings, otherwise I would love to find some time in my schedule for a furry friend! My sweet Olive passed away in August. When my family and I remember her we talk about playing hide and go seek and snuggling with her when she was older. I love being active and going for runs, but I also enjoy some quiet reading time on the couch.

“First walk with our boy Ziggy and she was great. On time, took him out to the dog park, he came back tired. All you can ask for! Super nice and asked all the right questions. We felt very comfortable with her.”

Micah P.

“Salma responded to my short-notice request quickly, which I greatly appreciated as it was for only a few days of dog-walking. I'd had some surgery on my leg and it was difficult to walk for the first few days. Salma came three times daily and was very kind and patient with my elderly dog. I would not hesitate to hire her again.”

Ellen M.

“Deniz is great. She is very commutative and reliable. It’s very clear she loves dogs (and vice versa). Our dog can be a bit skittish or picky with who he likes but he loved Deniz from the beginning. She sends lots of pictures and always seems to go above and beyond”

About: I'm not just another dog walker or pet sitter — I'm your reliable neighborhood neighbor who’s already the go-to person in my 10-story NW DC apartment building for everything from quick walks to overnight stays (and yes, I handle both dogs and cats with ease!). What really makes me different is my background as a recently retired Special Education teacher. That means I bring serious patience, structure, and a knack for reading behavior to every pet I care for. Whether it’s helping a energetic young pup learn polite leash manners, crate training basics, or simple commands during our walks and playtime — or giving gentle, attentive care to senior dogs and cats who need slower paces, extra cuddles, or help with mobility and medication — I’m genuinely good at meeting each pet exactly where they are. I grew up with dogs and cats, so I’m comfortable with all personalities and ages. I focus on making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away — with consistent routines, plenty of affection, and that extra layer of responsibility that comes from years of working with kids who needed thoughtful, individualized support. In short: You get a sitter who’s dependable, experienced with all life stages of pets, and truly enjoys the work. Your furry (or not-so-furry) family member will get the kind of calm, attentive care that makes coming home even sweeter. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine! Since I’m recently retired, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I live right in a 10-story apartment building in NW DC, so I’m already here and can easily pop down for midday walks, quick drop-ins, or overnight stays without any commute hassle. A typical week for me includes several regular dog walks and cat visits for neighbors in the building. I genuinely enjoy starting my day with a good walk or ending it with some playtime and cuddles. It keeps me active, social, and smiling — plus it gives me that wonderful sense of responsibility I loved from my teaching days. Whether it’s a quick 30-minute walk around the neighborhood, a full night of house sitting, or daily check-ins while you’re traveling, fitting pet care into my schedule is easy and something I truly look forward to. I’m available most days and evenings, and I’m happy to work around your needs! I provide all pet care in your home only, so your pets stay in their familiar environment where they feel safest and most comfortable. For dogs, I will only consider bringing them to my house on very rare occasions — and only after I’ve gotten to know the dog well and we both agree it’s the right fit. All cat care happens exclusively in your home. In your home, I follow your exact routines for feeding, walks (for dogs), playtime, litter box care, medications, and more. I’m very mindful about safety: keeping doors and windows locked, using secure leashes when needed, and treating your space with complete respect. As a retired Special Education teacher, I’m patient, observant, and highly responsible. I treat every pet and every home with the care they deserve. You can trust that your furry family member will be in safe, loving hands.

“Clara walked our wriggly puppy for an hour. She can be a bit of a handful, but Clara didn’t seem to mind! We will definitely be booking with Clara again.”

“Anna was awesome with Boz and sent me awesome pics and kept track of their walks and bathroom breaks! She was very communicative and Boz got everything he needed!”

About: I grew up with rescue mutts and herding breed dogs that need lots of exercise, mental stimulation, and training so I am familiar with high energy breeds. I also have experience with smaller companion animals, and cats. I love dogs of all sizes and breeds, and have cared for dogs at all stages of life, from puppies to seniors. I'm available mornings and afternoons to spend time with your pets. I'm between jobs at the moment, so my schedule is very flexible and I'm eager to fill that with time with your pup! I love to take long walks, and enjoy parks and trails if your dog likes to go on short hikes. I have a fenced in front and back/side yard with grass, and enough room to throw a ball if they come over for a play date.

About: I’ve been caring for my family’s dogs since I was around 16. When I moved away from home, I started to miss the daily joy of being around dogs, which is what brought me to Rover. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and different temperaments, including rescue dogs. A dog lover since childhood, I would love to support you and your pets’ needs: I will treat them like my own 😊 I’m free weekends and evenings! Starting late August, my schedule will be more flexible as I am starting grad school, so I will have more daytime availability. I’ve watched pets in a variety of home and apartment environments and will adapt to whatever details you provide for me! You can count on me to adapt my care towards each pet’s environment and your needs.

About: I love dogs and cats, and miss my own pets as I’m away from home. So I would love to help take care of your pets when you need an extra hand! My availability is during weekends for drop-ins/walks, but can be flexible for days. I can’t wait to hear more about your pet, just reach out! I work full-time, so I am mostly free on weekends. That can be any time on the weekend, and if needed, can try for weekdays after work. For drop-ins, I will play with your pets and brush them if they enjoy that! And for dogs, would love them to take them for a stroll so we can both get our steps in!

About: I have a pet Russian tortoise who requires special care and delicate handling that's more involved than, say, walking and feeding a dog or taking care of a cat. I have a pretty flexible schedule both this summer and into the fall. Pet care can easily be scheduled around my summer job and college classes. I make sure pets, my own and others that I've been responsible for, get plenty of attention. I don't leave them until all their needs have been met

“Diana is so great! She's very friendly and you can tell how much she loves dogs. Diana is a great communicator and sends fun pics and videos of her walks with my pup! I would highly recommend!!”

“Audrey took such great care of our pups while we were away today. Very responsible, caring, and thoughtful caring for our dogs. We highly recommend Audry!”

Aaron A.

“Anna is an incredible communicator. My pup and I are so lucky that we have found such a wonderful walk companion for her. She is a fun loving creature who needed someone with an understanding of her excitement on encountering other dogs as well as ensuring she has plenty of play.”

About: I’ve been dog sitting for over eight years, caring for all kinds of breeds—many from foster or rescue homes. I’m patient, reliable, and love making pets feel safe and happy. I also have about two years of cat sitting experience, and I always treat every pet like my own. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. Before my dog of 16 years passed away, caring for her—walks, treats, snuggles, and later medication and extra attention—was a meaningful part of every day. Because of that, I’ve kept pet care as a regular part of my lifestyle. I’m available after 5 p.m. on weekdays and free on weekends, which makes it easy for me to dedicate time to walking, playing with, and caring for pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow any specific instructions closely—feeding schedules, walks, medications, and playtime—to ensure pets feel secure in their familiar space. I always take time to build trust, offer attention, and keep things tidy, so owners can come home to happy, relaxed pets and a well-cared-for home.
