“Diana was prompt, responsive and reliable! She was great to work with and I felt so much relief leaving my pets in good hands while I was away. Thank you Diana! Will absolutely rebook soon”


“Amy came out to walk our lab, Ralph, on Christmas Eve with less than 24 hours notice! She responded to our last minute request right away and was extremely accommodating and professional. Ralph liked her right away and they enjoyed a nice long walk. I’m so grateful Amy was willing and able to help us out in our time of need! Highly recommend!”


“Laurie is awesome! She is very patient with Dodo and stayed out with him during the entire time when it was snowing and raining. Really appreciate her help!”


“Stephen is great with our silly, high energy dog Roxy (doberman). We always feel comfortable she is in good hands under their care and she is always happy (based on the fun photo update we get). I would highly recommend their services”


“Chloe has been amazing coming and walking our dog when we needed her to. She was flexible with her schedule throughout the week, which was amazing. Our dog loved her and we certainly recommend her.”


“Paige was fantastic! We needed some last minute help with our pups. She replied so quickly and was easy to get ahold of. Our pups loved her!!”


“Lauren is fantastic! So communicative and easy to work with. Our little French bulldog loved her too, and we are grateful we had someone we could rely on to check on and walk her every day. Will definitely hire again!”


About: I’ve had dogs and cats for 35 years. I currently have a German Shepherd and a domestic short hair cat. I volunteer at the humane society socializing cats. I am retired and have time and love enough to care for your small dog or cat. I prefer to stay in the northern Virginia area if possible. I’m available for drop in visits or overnights. I amvery experienced keeping an active dog entertained. I can take small dogs for walks in your neighborhood

“Thank you!”


About: I have lived with, trained, brought up and loved dogs all of my 60 years. Currently I live alone and travel quite a bit for work so cannot own a dog myself but am happy to take care of yours when I'm available. I would not be a good regular sitter due to my schedule, but generally, you can count on me to look after your pup or cat while on vacation or whatever. I walk a lot around my apartment complex, which is very welcoming to dogs. I am also home during the day so your pup is not alone. When you board your dog with me, you can expect he or she would get a walk in the morning, around noon and during the evening with some short outside breaks as needed to do his or her business. If I visit your home, I can walk once a day for about 20-30 minutes.

“Claire was communicative, prompt, and flexible. She was confident in handling our dog that is strong and can pull hard on the leash. She was friendly and followed all our directions. Our dog also seemed very happy and comfortable with her!”


About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I also have 3 years experience working at 2 different animal hospitals and 3 years experience working at a dog daycare as a client care coordinator and puppy preschool supervisor. Special skills include caring for puppies and their specific needs, caring for senior dogs including administering medications, helping dogs with mobility issues, etc. Dog enrichment is my passion! I have a ton of dog toys (that are cleaned regularly!) and assure you I will find your dogs play style, and maybe even discover a hidden play style you didn’t know about! I am currently pet sitting full time leaving me with plenty of time to play with your pups during the day while you are at work, or for overnight sleepovers during the week & weekend. I am also available for weekday walks or runs with your more active doggos. We are apartment living with quick dog park and dog beach access as well as plenty of access to fenced in yards. Also happy to stay in home depending on the needs of your pet.

“Laurie has a genuine love for dogs which she reflects in the way she cares for our pup Leo, showing the same level of attention as if Leo was her own. Laurie understands dog's needs well and focuses on quality time - both physical and mental stimulation, always actively engaged and present in the moment which reflects in the way my pup goes absolutely bananas when she sees Laurie. We are very happy with Laurie's service and would recommend others her way, as the level of care and attention is a rare find in the dog walker market.”


About: I offer a warm, calm, loving environment. I only board one or two dogs at a time. This allows for personalized attention for your pet. I allow my pets and yours on my couch and bed. I have space to crate if that is what your dog needs or wants. I’m three blocks to the beach so if your pup likes to walk at the beach we have that available. We spend a lot of time outside if the weather permits. I can give meds and insulin shots if needed. I’m a pet owner myself so we plug in your pet’s needs into our daily routine. Meal times, potty time, can be accommodated and worked around. I treat your pup just like one of my own. I’m always careful to get their collars/harness on correctly. Play is supervised and highly encouraged.

“Julia took very good care of our pup! She listened to what he was telling g her in the walks and adjusted the walk to what he was needing at the time. 100% would recommend and will rebook for our next trip”



“Chris is great! She's gentle, responsible, and punctual. Our dogs are large and strong and sometimes reactive, so they aren't the easiest dogs to walk, and Chris' maturity and experience made me feel that they were in good hands.”


“We’ve been using Maya for sometime and she’s great. I appreciate her being able to keep up with our 2 year old dog. She provides photos and updates, my dog loves his walk.”


“Victoria is amazing!! Knowing my dog is so well cared for on his mid day walk makes my life so much easier, thank you!!!”


About: I’m comfortable taking care of all types of pups, small, big, and even huge! Have only three years of experience but have been walking dogs full time ever since I’ve started :) want to make sure your pup is taken care of and safe at all times! I am a grad student at Northwestern University, however I have lots of extra time when I’m not in classes to give your pup all the attention they need :) I do live in an apartment, but during boarding, me and the pups will go on lots of walks, runs, hikes, whatever your pup needs.

About: I am a forever dog lover! Growing up with an 100lb lab and a small beagle, I know how to take care of dogs of all sizes! I recently graduated from the University of Michigan and am home for the summer before moving to NYC! Spending time with dogs is the perfect way for me to spend my last summer at home! At home, I love to give my dog Milo all the attention, but I also know how to make sure he respects space (he’s a very big boy). I would do the same in a clients home—making sure the pet feels taken care of but also respecting any rules or boundaries the client might have.

Alexis has jumped in to help run out our pup's energy while we are at work and we couldn't be happier with her help! She is kind, generous and reliable! Not only is she great with our pup but she is extremely trustworthy. This is a huge plus since she enters our home alone, while we were gone or working. Don't look any further, Alexis is your gal! Your pets will be happy and well cared for and you will have peace of mind!”

Monica was great! I have a senior dog and she was very thoughtful of her needs and accommodations. Will definitely be booking again!!

Nicole does a great job walking my dog Blue. Nicole responds quickly and provides nice recaps and photos of their walks.

Helena has been amazing with our dog! I made sure Helena met our dog and ME before we began our walks and I was fortunate Helena agreed. From the moment our dog met Helena he was calm and receptive to her care. Typically, our dog is distrustful of strangers coming into our house, but he didn't respond that way with her. Helena has shown herself to be very dependable, responsible, loving and has the trust of our dog and his dog parents. I strongly recommend her.
