Energetic Student Dog Walker
Pet care experience
I am a senior at Georgetown University studying business, and I'm currently living in the Burleith neighborhood. I absolutely love dogs and have spent many years caring for my own family's dogs and dog sitting for other dogs. I grew up in the Georgetown neighborhood, so I have always loved taking care of my neighbors' pets. I am comfortable with dogs of any size and age, but I do have a soft spot for older, big dogs.
Reviews
Maddie and Caroline were great with our VERY energetic dog. We are always nervous to leave our puppy behind, but she had a wonderful weekend with them. She absolutely loved hanging out with them, and playing with their adorable dog Victory. I can tell how much fun she had because every time we get close to their neighborhood, she tries to pull us over to their house! They sent us over regular pictures of our dog, which is always so reassuring. They were also very flexible with the timing of drop off and pick up, which made all of the scheduling much easier, and they had no problem with our dog’s very weird food schedule.
Maddie was excellent with Kaiser. He wasn't feeling great for a few days and she made sure he got all his meds and gave us consistent updates about his condition. Will definitely use them again!
Cody enjoyed his stay with Maddie and Victory! He came home happy! Maddie was very responsive and flexible even when we ran into traffic on our way back. I would recommend Maddie!
Catherine and Maddie were fabulous! Completely responsive and responsible and Autumn had a great time. Would definitely recommend. I hope to let Autumn stay with them again!

Safety, trust & environment
I am very cautious when it comes to caring for dogs, and I make sure that I follow the owners' instructions carefully to ensure that each dog is getting the care that they need.
Information Catherine & Maddie M. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know how comfortable your dog is on a leash, and if there is anything that typically makes them more reactive on walks (squirrels, other dogs, people, etc.).
A typical day
I love to take dogs on walks through Georgetown University's campus, where they often get lots of love from the students. I also like to walk along the Georgetown Waterfront, especially when the weather is warm.

Availability
