I am energetic and conscientious!

Pet care experience

I have always owned dogs. I have lots of experience with all types of breeds. I am both energetic and calm with your dog depending on their needs. I have professionally walked dogs for 4 years. I like a flexible schedule like dog walking because I have children and I also teach yoga. I will care for your dog as if they were my own. I am happy to let you know each day how the walk went- send pictures etc. I will develop a friendship with your dog that could last for years! I have great references and a good track record of happy pets and pet owners. I can't wait to meet you and your best pal(s)! I live in the 4 corners area of Silver Spring.

Polly is such a wonderful person, as is her family. Atticus loves coming to stay with her. I would highly recommend to anyone :)

Polly did a fantastic job looking after our little guy! She's clearly very comfortable with dogs as well as being a flexible and understanding sitter.

Polly was so great with Sloane! She was super reliable and eager to care for Sloane in a way that fit with Sloane's daily routine. Would definitely love to work with Polly again!

I've known Polly for over 20 years and she has always been a dog lover - and a dog rescuer. If she's walking in the neighborhood, it's usually with a 4 legged companion, she's always happy to stop and meet a new pup. Polly is reliable, responsible and trustworthy. I'd recommend her to anyone to take care of their animals (any animal) and/or home.

Information Polly M. would like to know about your pet

Is the dog kid friendly? Does the dog like to chase cats, squirrels etc? How is the dog when encountering another dog?

A typical day

I like to walk dogs on different routes to keep it interesting for them. I like to play fetch in the yard. If your dog is young I make an effort to make sure they get enough movement. If your dog is old or has injuries I am careful not to overdo it.
