Dog Walking Petworth

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with three family dogs and was the primary caretaker and trainer for my most recent dog, Aiko. Through daily walks, feeding, grooming, training, and playtime, I gained valuable experience understanding the unique needs of different dogs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have pet sat and walked dogs for neighbors, friends, and family members, including both small and large breeds. I am comfortable handling multiple dogs at once and enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just having someone keep them company, I will provide attentive, reliable, and loving care. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. As a college student, I am currently home for the summer and not taking classes, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I am available most days and times for dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand how important consistency and reliability are when caring for pets, and I am committed to providing attentive, dependable care while keeping owners updated and informed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and exercise needs. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I take the time to build trust while ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring and responsible hands.

About: What makes me different from others is pets love me and they are very comfortable around me. I never have any issues with any type of pet or animal. I have two amazing cats and I usually feed them early in the morning, play around with both of them until they get tired and sleepy, then it's cuddle time I personally wash my cats at home and i also take take them out for activities such as walking or having them play with different sticks and toys. I can accommodate your needs for your fur baby.

“Pauline walked/fed our senior dog during the holidays and was so great! She made our dog feel comfortable, was super communicative and sent lots of pictures, and put our minds at ease while we were on vacation during the colder days of the year. Will definitely book with Pauline again in the future - thank you!”

“Diamond is a fantastic dog walker — prompt, professional, kind, and my pup loves her. Highly recommended for all of her services.”

Chris V.

“Molly has a great calm energy and is very communicative!”

Meghan R.

“Alex pitched in on short notice. He’s an excellent communicator and was on time for the walks. Tucker especially loved that Alex let him sniff all the things outside and also filled his water bowl back in the house after the walk. Two paws up for Alex!”

Jonathan W.

“Nicholas excels in consistency, timeliness and genuine passion for his work. I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention he give my bulldog. Great and trustworthy professional.”

Chris M.

“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.

“Riley was awesome and very communicative! Really appreciated her flexibility with booking and gave great updates on her visits. Would absolutely book again!”

Merrill W.

“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.

“Leslie is the best! She is reliable, communicative, and seems to have developed a great relationship with our dog.”

Britt M.

“Landy is great! Excellent communication and truly cares about my pups. She’s comfortable giving meds and asked great questions that shows she’s on top of it. Also she sent adorable photos of them on the walk! 🐾🦴”

About: I have been a lover of all animals for as far back as I can remember and have taken care of them both personally and professionally. I have been employed by zoos and aquariums, worked with tigers, made diets for birds of prey, and assisted Marine Biologists with shark tanks and coral reefs. My training has not just been in educating the public, but in positive reinforcements. Everything from dogs, cats, snakes, hedgehogs, frogs, and so many more have been in my care over the course of my life for one reason or another. I am my friends' go-to for anything they've ever been curious about when it comes to our natural world. And being a dog mom of two myself has been one of the most rewarding privileges I've been able to experience. Pet care for me is 24/7 for my own babies, but I am available Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and some Wednesdays for any and all services. My pupperonies have been crate trained by me, but for the most part free roam. They have designated areas for when the hoomans are out of the house where they are allowed to nap and play with their toys or each other. Both have been socialized and are respectful of the other dog in the home. Both dogs get 3 walks per day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening to ensure they are exercised as well as some off leash play in the yard. For clients, I am attentive to each animals’ needs and respectful of owner requests. It is important for me to get to know your fluffybutt as much as possible in order to provide optimal care.

“This was our second time using Krystal to walk our dog and we love booking her! She’s always prompt with the walk times that we pre-set, she sends photos of our dog, and I can only imagine how much my dog loves to see her! We will continue to use Krystal as our dog walker!”

About: I'm a full-time professional with fairly flexible work hours. I have two dogs, a happy, healthy 12 yr old Plott-hound mix, Ollie, and a happy, energetic and loving 2 yr old husky-shepherd mix, Bella., I've watched and cared for dozens of other dogs (friends, family, etc.) over the last 15 years and am generally known as a bit of a 'dog whisperer'. I absolutely love dogs and look forward to taking exceptional care of your pet when you need to leave them in somebody else's care. Ollie, Bella, and I walk for ~4 miles every day around the neighborhood, go to dog friendly parks/fields in my neighborhood, and walks in the woods where they can run off leash. As highlighted in the pictures, Ollie and Bella readily get along with a wide variety of dogs as a walking buddy, a sleeping buddy, or a running-around-a-field buddy. If you leave your dog with us, your dog will have new canine friends, get lots of fun neighborhood walks, and have friends to cuddle up with on the couch / in their dog bed after a long-day of walking, eating, and sleeping :). I typically do two long walks each day (one between ~7-9 AM, the other sometime between 5-7 PM). Will also do a short mid-day walk and/or a short pre-bedtime walk as needed! While Ollie and Bella were crate trained as puppies, at this point they roams freely throughout the house. That said, I'm happy to host crate-trained dogs, and more than comfortable allowing your (trained!) dog to roam free throughout my home much like my pups.

“Abner is the sweetest guy I know. He accommodated a last minute booking for me. He was kind and patient and took time to understand my dog’s needs and behaviors. I cannot thank him for saving the day and I cannot wait to hire Abner again. A++ service.”

About: Hi, I'm Cymia! I’m a college sophomore and student-athlete free for the rest of July and first week of august to care for your pet! I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life, and I started pet sitting back in middle school. When I’m not training, I love being out in nature, listening to music, and hanging out with animals. Because of my athletic background, I have plenty of energy for long, active walks, but I'm just as happy cozying up with a cat. I’m reliable, active, and available for flexible summer scheduling. I can't wait to treat your furry family members like my own I have plenty of time to care for your pets! As my schedule has no current commitments to anything else I am looking to get to know some new furry friends For my own pets, I keep a solid routine with regular meals, plenty of exercise, and a safe environment. I make sure nothing that can be chocked on or dangerous for your pet
