Dog Walking Mount Vernon Square

“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!”

“Lia took such excellent care of our dog Abby, as she always does, and she even made sure Abby’s water bowl was full before she left. We’re so grateful we can rely on Lia’s care.”

“Amber took wonderful care of our two cavalier King Charles. She’s always on time to take them out very flexible with schedule changes and send lots of adorable pictures which helps miss them just a little less when I’m gone to work!”

About: Hi, my name is Sofi! I work from home full-time, which allows me to spend plenty of time with pets. I’ve grown up with animals and have loved being around them my whole life. Since moving to the U.S., friends and people in my social circle have trusted me to pet sit, house sit, and take care of their pets, including dog walking. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex in a very walkable area, close to parks and green areas, perfect for daily walks and playtime. While I don’t have pets of my own, I truly enjoy their company and the joy, energy, and good moments they bring. I’m offering my services on Rover because I love spending time with pets and can provide them with attentive care while I work from home. I’m flexible on cost and cancellations. I’m happy to answer any questions or provide more details about me, you can reach out anytime, and I usually respond quickly. I work from home full-time, which allows me to easily integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule is generally flexible, so I can take regular breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day, rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medication if needed, ensuring they are comfortable, safe, and well cared for throughout the day.

“Thank you Karima for walking my dog. Karima was flexible with scheduling and able to walk Monti with short notice. She is attentive and thorough and would recommend her to others.”

“Marin was very nice, prompt, and communicated well. Our fur baby enjoyed walks with her and we look forward to booking with her again soon. Thanks Marin!!”

“Brendan was an awesome addition to our busy schedules. The communication between Brendan and myself was top tier. Always on time and making our Moni feel extra cared for. Thank you so much for helping our family.”

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and genuinely love caring for them. I grew up with a pug (Pumba), and dogs have continued to be a big part of my family. My dad has an adopted dog (Samba), and my sister also adopted her dog (Moka). I lived with my sister and Moka for three years, so I was very involved in her day-to-day care, including walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. Whenever my sister traveled, I was the one she trusted to take care of Moka. I’m comfortable following a dog’s normal routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, and regular potty breaks, and I can easily adjust to your pet’s usual routine. I live in an apartment in a walkable area with several parks nearby, which makes it easy to provide regular walks, outdoor time, and exercise. I’m very attentive to each dog’s routine, personality, and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me.

“Mirren was attentive and accommodating to our dog needs - thank you!”

“Arielle was so wonderful with our pup! She took tons of photos and was super easy to coordinate with. I will 100% book with her again!”

About: I’ve always had cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with two dogs and now have two cats in the city! Can’t wait to meet your pet! Currently a student so I have a flexible schedule, so weekday drop ins and walks should be easy to schedule! Mondays and Tuesdays are my busiest days. I have two friendly cats who have regularly interacted with other cats. I would love to take dogs for long walks to help tire them out and keep them entertained!

“James was incredible with my two golden retrievers. It was a last minute request for a full week of walking them. He was patient with them even when the dogs were stubborn and not wanting to walk (as Goldens tend to do). He was always on time and gave me a full report. I highly recommend James to take care of your pups. I certainly plan too!”

About: I adopted a dog during the pandemic and share a cat with my husband. I grew up on a farm and would watch and care for the neighbors' animals while they were on vacation. I've been working on Rover for two years. I'm looking forward to meeting your pets and giving you some peace of mind while you're at work or on vacation. I work remotely, so I am available for housesitting, walks, and drop-ins as needed. Happy to make my schedule fit with yours! I work remotely and am available to house sit and do walks/drop ins if you live in Shaw. I am excited to talk and learn more about your animals! Please see the pet care experience section. The too long didn't read version: safety first. I love animals and treat them like my own family.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs since as long as I can remember. I grew up with an English Cocker Spaniel, and I regularly take care of my friends dogs (often I ask to take care of them even when they are in town because I miss their dogs!) I love being around dogs and seeing their goofy personalities, giving them love, and watching them trust and love me back. I work in the office 4 days a week, but I am regularly around Fridays through Sundays. I can do boarding, walks, check ins, play dates. Happy to discuss your pet needs and ways to make them and you more comfortable. I am highly communicative, I always send owners pictures when I am with their dog as an update. I can take dogs on long or short walks, whatever will cause the least disruption to their routine.

“I suspected that Lydia would be a great walker for George Bailey when she walked up to his crate and he was silent but for the sound of his wagging tail. Understand, this puppy is very cautious about new people. I know of no one else he's felt this comfortable with, right off the proverbial bat. And her time with him made him happy! Thank you, Lydia! Oh, one more thing, she got the best photo of him ever.”

“Candace has been amazing to work with! She is very responsive and my pup loves going on walks with her.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of dogs and cats, from playful puppies to shy and reactive pets. I’ve done everything from daily drop-ins to long-term house sitting and boarding in my home, so I’m confident handling different routines, temperaments, and care needs. I focus on creating a calm, reliable environment where pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their people are away. My goal is always to keep your pet’s schedule consistent and make their time with me feel like a second home. “I’m a full-time student, but pet care fits naturally into my routine. I can provide overnight care, morning walks, and check-ins throughout the day between classes. I’m home most days after 4 pm, so pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and consistency. On weekends, I am home full-time, lots of time for playing, naps, and going out on adventures if that fits into your pet's lifestyle! In my apartment, your pet can be crated or free-roam based on their needs. I live in an apartment and there are no other animals. All outdoor time is always on-leash and closely supervised, your pet and I can play at the park across the street, with lots of grass! My goal is to create a calm, comfortable space where your pet feels secure and cared for.

About: I’ve raised four cats and lived with plenty of others over the years. I’m also an experienced dog walker and a friend to pretty much every animal I meet! I recently relocated to the DC area and am currently between jobs, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available 7 days a week and can accommodate a variety of schedules and pet-care needs. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’ll follow your instructions, keep a close eye on your pet, communicate clearly & often, and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
