Dog Walking Mount Pleasant

“Menna stepped in last-minute to take care of my Ollie, and she was spectacular. Patient, loving, calming, and thorough. O is very nervous with people right now, and she spent extra time making sure he felt safe. When I got home, he was happy and calm and clearly had been well taken care of.”

“Rachael was fantastic walking our dog, and on relatively short notice too. Very communicative, good with updates and photos, and clearly has a natural way with animals - our pup warmed up to her immediately! Highly recommend.”

Rory M.

“Caroline was so sweet to my pup that was being incredibly timid when she arrived to go for a walk. She was communicative with me and did everything she could to make an effort to make my dog comfortable. I highly recommend her!”

Kaitlin P.

“Katie goes above and beyond and I literally have no critiques. I have 2 big fur babies and she met them before my trip, took pictures while I was away, gave me updates on them, administered one of my dogs medications, and was super accommodating with a last minute request because I had travel delays. One of my babies has an abuse history and I was so worried but Katie asked questions and gave her time to warm up. I will definitely continue to use Katie’s services moving forward and recommend her services as much as I can. She’s my go to sitter for my babies when I’m gone!”

Monique G.

“Our shy pup warmed up immediately to Julia. It’s evident Julia is a dog lover and she went above and beyond for sweet Nugget. Despite him being difficult to walk, she had him doing laps around the block. Will be booking her again!”

Parker L.

“Thank you!”

Sara D.

“Maya did such a great job walking my dog! I’d definitely book with her again. :)”

Katie R.

“Lydia did a fantastic job with our puppy and was very responsive. She was incredibly punctual and sent cute photos! Our puppy was always very happy and well-exercised when we returned home, and Lydia was very flexible to changes.”

Annalise S.

“Jennifer was a great help and made sure to give Cricket the best experience - she took the pup for an extensive walk and sent photos along the way. She made sure that Cricket was well hydrated after too, given the heat. I’m sure Cricket will want to see Jennifer a lot more!”

Natalie T.

“Emma was great walking my dog Willa and I appreciate her being so willing to help with the last minute request.”

Grace M.

“Rut took such great care of my little dachshund, Arthur. He loved going on walks with her and warmed up to her very quickly. Rut is also incredibly easy to work with. She is punctual, highly responsive, and very flexible to meet her customers' needs. I can't recommend her highly enough!”

Matthew L.

“Jondle was great with our older (and sometimes stubborn) French bulldog! She was very responsive throughout the entire process and made a point to come meet me and Eloise before she started caring for her.”

About: Growing up, my family always had pets, and in 2020, I adopted a dog of my own! I’ve been trusted by friends and family to care for their pets for many years, and I’m always sure to love them and care for them to the best of my ability! I’ve taken care of puppies, senior dogs, dogs with amputations, and everything in between. I am available every weekday! I’m very flexible and able to make any adjustments necessary with short notice. If absolutely necessary I can do weekend drop ins as well. I will always be sure to understand the layout of your home and the limits/boundaries put in place for the pet. I will play and walk with the pet as much as necessary and make sure that food, water, and treats are given when instructed. I’ll cuddle and love on the pet as much as they need and be sure to ensure their safety and comfort while you are away.

About: Hi! I'm a 28 year old professional living in the Adams Morgan/CoHI neighborhood of DC. I have extensive experience caring for my childhood dog, Copper, as well as a number of other friendly canines in my parents Chevy Chase neighborhood. I'm looking for a way to make a few extra bucks in this high class city and would love to earn them taking care of cute pets! I'm tons of fun for dogs as I love to run, throw the ball and walk around DC as much as they do usually. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you'd like to learn any more, or if you'd like a few references before booking. I look forward to hearing from you!

About: Hi! I’ve pretty much always had a dog or cat in my life, so taking care of pets is something I genuinely love. I grew up with a German Shorthaired Pointer and a pit bull (and plenty of cats!), so I’m super comfortable with bigger dogs, high energy pups and pets with strong personalities. I’ve also cared for senior pets and am comfortable giving medications, keeping up with feeding schedules, adjusting walks for different energy and mobility levels, and following all the oddly specific little routines that pets inevitably train us into. I’m a big believer in keeping things as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away, so I’ll stick to your pet’s routine, give them lots of attention and happily send you photos and updates along the way. Whether your pet wants a long walk, a serious game of tug of war or just someone to hang out with on the couch, I’m very happy to be their person while you’re gone (and hopefully their new favorite sitter!). Pet care fits really naturally into my routine! I work a 9–5 in communications for a nonprofit think tank, with a hybrid schedule that has me working from home on Mondays and Fridays. That gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, playtime and check-ins throughout the day, especially around long weekends. I’m open to overnight stays, daily drop-ins, walks or a mix depending on what works best for you and your pet. I’m also happy to work around their usual routine as much as possible. I know pets tend to have their schedules figured out better than the rest of us! Since I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, my goal is to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible for your pet! I’ll follow their normal routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime and, of course, plenty of attention and cuddles (if they’re into that!). I’m also very respectful of your home and will make sure everything is left just as I found it. Most importantly, I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and check-ins so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe and comfortable in their own space.

“Jon was great!! We booked a walk very last minute and he was able to accommodate us, was quick to respond to messages, showed up on time and seemed great with our dog. Would definitely recommend!”

About: Hi! My name is Katherine, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. I have approximately 18 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I grew up with a German Shepherd, helped raise a Husky puppy named Henry who is now our family dog, and my family currently has a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. Because of that, I’m very comfortable with both high-energy and smaller breeds, as well as dogs in different life stages. In addition to dogs, I also have over 10 years of experience caring for cats, including our family cat and cats belonging to friends while they were away. I genuinely love animals and understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pet. I’m patient, attentive, reliable, and active, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while in my care. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, companionship, or extra patience and attention, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs and routine. I also believe communication is extremely important and will always provide updates, photos, and check-ins so you feel comfortable while away from your pet. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! I work from home four days out of the week, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week and weekends depending on your needs. I’m very active and enjoy spending time outdoors, so I’m always happy to accommodate longer walks, playtime, and enrichment activities to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs ahead of time so they feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I’m attentive during walks, careful with introductions to other animals, and respectful of each owner’s preferences and boundaries. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while your pet is in my care.

“Wendy is fantastic!! I have an anxious beagle that is very timid around others and she warmed up to Wendy very quickly during the initial meet and greet. She is responsive, communicative, and I knew my dog and two cats would be in great hands while I was out of town. I couldn’t ask for a better person to hang out with my pets!!”

“Aminah has been walking my 4year old Havanese, luna, since she was 4 months old. When I moved from DC to Old Town ALX it was so hard to find reputable walkers that I was grateful that Aminah was still available with adding a little more distance between us. She’s trustworthy and great with my girls. Very communicative!”

Vanessa F.

“Thanks so much Madison :) Savannah loved you!”
