“Emma is excellent walking and caring for my high energy dog. She is very communicative, consistently providing thorough updates. She is quick to respond and flexible working to schedule agreeable times. Highly recommended.”
About: I've had dogs of my own for 23 years. Starting at the puppy stage all the way to senior age. I know how to handle dogs of all energy levels. My day job is flexible and I can take the time your pet needs to go out for a walk or for bathroom break in the middle of the day. I am not able to bring dogs back to my house or be a daycare. I only wish to walk your pet or let them out as needed.
“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.”
“She is always on time and great with my dog and cat. She has learned their habits over time and Taylor's her walk to their needs. I love her pet side manner. Shes great!!!”
About: I have always loved dogs, have two currently, and been around them my whole life. I’m patient and kind and love to make them happy. I currently work very part time as a nurse and will be able to schedule my work time around your pets. If staying in your home, I won’t work at the hospital during that time. I love to do whatever makes the client and pets happy. I can accommodate whatever you decide will make everyone happiest and healthiest. You let me know and I will do whatever it takes.
“Sierra did a fantastic job walking my dog! She walked him over two days and was wonderfully reliable, arriving exactly at the time she committed to each day. She was great with my dog, and he thoroughly enjoyed his walks with her. I highly recommend Sierra to anyone looking for a punctual, caring, and trustworthy dog walker!”
About: Dog boarding: I have 16 years experience for caring for dogs at home including multiple dogs at a time. Additionally I have six years experience with dog sitting/boarding. My main availability would be Monday-Saturday where I have a hybrid/WFH schedule meaning constant attention and activities for the dogs to be a part of most days of the week. Dog walking: My main availability would be Monday-Friday. I live right by Rock Creek Park so there are plenty of trails nearby to avoid busy streets on walks. Also available to commute through the DMV area for any service. I myself decided to join this app because I have always love helping dog owners provide the best life experience for their fur babies. I understand that sometimes it takes a village to have a dog/cat constantly looked after. With this I thought that dog boarding and sitting could be a great experience for the dogs and cats alike as I’m a high energy person who loves the outdoors. (Tips are encouraged and greatly appreciated) I work from home so I’m able to constantly give dogs/cats attention. This means constant potty breaks, multiple walks a day with varying duration, and lots and lots of affection. In my home I have two friendly dogs (crate-trained) and a doggy door with access to a fenced yard. Nearby there are also walking trails and parks away from busy roads for the dogs to roam.
“Our pup just adores Brooke. From the walks, playing and learning - we have seen a positive influence in the daily walks. It's been years since we had a puppy in the house, having Brooke care for him while we are away at work has been such a ease on our minds. Thank you for loving our boy!”
About: I am the #1 person who all my friends and family trust with their pets while they enjoy a quick weekend getaway or vacation. I treat all pets like my own. I did a very good job training my 12 year old Shih Tzu and 8 year old, very well behaved and loved. I am available 24/7 and I also work from home 🏡. I have a lake nearby that I walk everyday as well! It’s about an hour walk (to and from) if your dog needs a long walk. I have a fenced yard, a small Shih Tzu and a cat to keep your babies company. I can also crate your dog if needed and have plenty of room!
About: Lifelong experience caring for dogs, cats and a horse and studying psychology in college. I believe quality time for bonding, play and affection is just as important as food/potty breaks for pet happiness. The best part of pet sitting is the quality time spent with your pet after all the business is done! I have a flexible schedule so I'm able to make most times work. I can walk, feed, water, scrub bowls, medicate (comfortable administering oral meds to dogs and cats), clean up as needed, play with and generally whatever is needed to keep your pet on a regular schedule. We have 2 friendly smaller dogs and a dog door & ramp straight out to the fenced backyard. The house is one level with only 1 step in and out. There are crates set up in multiple locations and there are ways to separate animals safely if ever needed. Someone is home all day every day, pets are never kept without heat or AC.
About: I have been a dog owner for 30 years. I have also taken care of all kinds of dogs. People have trusted me to take care of their dogs for years. I currently run my son Aden's autism adult work program, leaving me time for a part-time dog walking job. Dog walking is a job that my son and I can do together. I can walk your dog in your neighborhood and I have a fenced-in yard if your dog needs a place to exercise in a safe environment.
“Kenneth is the absolute best. Bandito is always so so excited to see him. He takes Bandito on long walks and is always so good at updating us on how he is doing. We can always count on him!”
About: Hello! My name is Sky, I'm 24 years old, and I am currently studying to get my Bachelor's Degree in Biological Science specializing in Zoology. I have a lot of first-hand experience with owning/caring for dogs, cats, and exotic animals. I have no breed preferences, and pets that need specific care/special needs are always welcome. If you have a special needs pet, (or a pet that needs any sort of medication administration or medical care such as ear drops, eye drops, diaper changes, etc.) I do request to be shown specifically how you provide that care in order to ensure that your pet is not overly stressed out with a stranger performing different techniques of administration than the ones consistently used by their owner. I have a license and a car so I can provide reliable transportation to dog parks, socialization outings, grooming appointments, and pup-cup treats! I love animals of all shapes and sizes and I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pet. **FULLY COVID-19 VACCINATED AND BOOSTED During the summer I have a relatively free schedule. During the fall and spring semesters, I attend college full-time, so unfortunately my availability will be cut down but not completely gone. During the school year, I would greatly appreciate it if you could notify me or request me 6 hours to one day in advance so I can make sure I don’t have anything going on with school. Same-day requests during the school year can be tricky and I want you to be able to have your pet taken care of, so if I happen to be busy on the day of request/visit I can let you know so you can request someone else in a timely manner. I would hate to deny your request an hour or so before you need me because of school and cause you to be unable to book a new sitter in time. Thank you for your consideration, I will try my absolute best to accommodate you and your schedule with appropriate notice. I strive to make sure your pets get the best care possible, even if, unfortunately, it cannot be with me. **For house-sitting services, I am available for all-day visits, but unfortunately I am unable to stay the night(s) at your home because of my own pets at home needing care. I strive to provide your pets with the same love, care, and affection that I provide for my own pets. I'd love to cater to any preferences or favorite toys/food/activities your pet may have!
About: Hello! I’m Leigh, and I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and pet owner. From dogs and cats to rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, lizards and more, animals have always been a big part of my life. I truly believe that every pet deserves the utmost care, attention, and love, and I treat each one I care for as if they were my own. With decades of experience looking after a variety of pets, I’ve learned the importance of patience, kindness, and consistency in building trust with animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, some playtime, or just a cuddle, I’m there to make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m attentive to their unique needs, and I always strive to make sure they feel comfortable and loved in my care. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your furry, feathered, or scaly friend like family, I’d love to be the one to help! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to set up a meet-and-greet. Looking forward to meeting your pet! 🐾 I’m primarily available during the day on weekdays for walks and drop ins, but I can be flexible and arrange evening and weekend care as needed. Just let me know what works best for you, and I’ll do my best to accommodate! When pet-sitting in your home, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort. I maintain a secure environment, sticking to your pet’s routine to minimize stress. I ensure your pet feels at ease with plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I’m also respectful of your home, keeping it clean and tidy. Your pet’s well-being and peace of mind are my top priorities while you’re away!
“I am very thankful for Yesenia and her services. My husband and I went out of the country for a week and Yesenia was available to come to our home every day (sometimes twice a day ) to walk our 4-year old dog. I appreciated Yesenia’s flexibility in coming to meet us first to see if it was a good fit. She kept me updated and overall, I felt like my girl was in good hands.”
“Etilma is a wonderful person and a fantastic dog walker! She takes great care of Sammy when they go on their daily walks together. She takes pictures regularly and always keeps me updated on anything she notices about him. I highly recommend her!!”

I currently work from home and I am available all day for walks and boarding. I have time to take your pet on as many walks as they need. I have a huge backyard and lots of space in the house for your lovely pet to feel free to run around and play or relax.
About: I've had a love of dogs (and all animals) for as long as I can remember. Though I haven't been blessed with a dog of my own, I often care for my cousins' dogs and cherish every minute spent with them. One of them is a handsome mixed breed little guy named Juno and the other a Great Pyrenees named Rosco. I take them on walks several times a day, feed them, and play with them to their heart's content. They are my furry nephews and I love them so much! I'm a fast learner and a detail-oriented person. I will adjust to your dog's routine quickly. Their safety and well-being is my priority and I will take care of your fur babies with as much attentiveness as I would my own. We will have so much fun and they will get all the love and cuddles they desire! I currently have open availability so I can care for your pets whenever suits you best! I can take them for walks, do drop-ins, or house sit while you’re away. I will treat your home with the utmost respect and will leave it tidy for your return. I will make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while sharing their home with a stranger (soon to be friend)!
About: I am an animal lover! I treat animals as if they are humans with love, support and freedom. I’m there if they need a friend or if there feeling lonely. Rather if it needs attention or a late night potty run I’m there for the rescue! I’m very attentive and supportive. I have 5 years of experience with dogs and over 6 years with cats I’m always up for more fur animal friends. I am very noble and trustworthy, and will always treat your animal the way I would want to be treated. Look no further I’m here to save the day! I’m very responsible and integrity is very much so apart of my character. I will update you on everything that goes on as communication is very important.

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 Hickory Ridge. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
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.
