Dog Walking Petworth

“We were so lucky to have found Meredith. Her energy, her puppy love. Everything is just great. She is very punctual, communicative and take the cutest pictures. Thank you so much!”

“Ariana was great! She worked with my very stubborn dog and got him around the block perfectly. I would definitely hire her again. If she can work with my giant stubborn dog, she can take care of any dog!”

Rebecca M.

“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!”

“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!”

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.

“If you’re deciding between sitters, go with Caris!! They have taken such good care of my skittish pup, spend quality time with her (giving treats, cuddling, and taking her on nice walks), and my pup warmed up to them more easily than any other person we’ve introduced her to. They are clearly knowledgeable about dog body language and took the time and patience to make my dog feel comfortable. I feel at ease when I know Caris is coming to take care of her, and we feel so grateful to have found such a gem of a sitter and walker.”

About: I live in Petworth with my cat Luna and I work from home - would love to visit oyour cat or walk your dog! I love animals, my schedule is flexible, and I'm reliable. Often care for friends' pets when they're travell=ing or stuck at work late. I work from home and am generally free to visit your pet between 11am and 2pm. Can also schedule morning or evening visits if needed. Happy to follow your house rules and entertain your pets in your home or out for a walk. I'm reliable, responsible, and very diligent.

“Kat has been a dream come true for my doggo! I’ve got a high energy puppy and she handles him like an absolute pro. She’s reliable, responsible, and my little guy ADORES her. Double highly recommend!”

“Prompt and friendly.Very excited to find another dog walker in the neighborhood. My dog felt right comfortable right away.”

Ann B.

“Avery has been great walking my anxious little buddy. My other walker suddenly moved away and Avery was very responsive and flexible in doing an introduction and then a few test walks before taking on the job without me even around anymore. She walks my guy every week now!”

Derek C.

“We can't recommend her more! For three weeks we needed help during the day to walk our dog and she went well above and beyond not just walking him but also helping to care for him when he got sick. While in no way did we expect that level of kindness we greatly appreciated it. If you need help look no farther!”

About: I grew up surrounded by animals and they’ve always been a huge part of my life! I had two big pups to play with and grow up with and every member of my family had some kind of fur baby, whether it was a tiny little pup, a big fluffy dog or the sweetest cat. Being around so many different pets helped me learn their different personalities and needs from an early age :) When I was about 11, my mom started walking dogs in her free time as part of her wellness journey and I was lucky enough to join her. That’s when I first discovered how much I enjoy dog walking and caring for pets. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, my sister and my two aunts do, ranging from a playful chocolate pitty to an adorable teacup poodle, so I’m still surrounded by pups regularly. At home, I have three cats that I absolutely adore!! They truly mean the world to me and are a big part of who I am. Caring for animals isn’t just something I’ve done, it’s something I genuinely love & enjoy. I can’t wait to meet and care for even more amazing fur babies! 🐾 I am a full time student at Montgomery College as a psychology & surgical tech major! I’m at the silver spring campus and live near by and have a decent amount of time through my weekdays! My kitty babies roam freely as they are all pretty mature! I try to play and entertain for 30 mins a day but sometimes it’s 15 a day, I feed them twice a day wet food only!

“Kyra is super friendly and interactive with my pup. I appreciated her taking the time to do a meet and greet before scheduling a booking (which we’ve booked more since then), and she was very good at asking questions to make sure Cora would be cared for properly as well as communicating effectively regarding her schedule. Kyra is trustworthy, reliable, personable, and wonderful with Cora. So glad I found her!”

About: While i’m new to the app I am the trusted pet sitter for all my friends! I can match the needs of your pet based on whatever they’re feeling like that day. I have more experience walking small and medium sized dogs and hanging out inside with larger dogs. I know how to give oral medication, and have experienced giving injections to cats so I can learn with dogs too if needed! I also have senior pet care experience as well meaning medication, arthritis massages, and anything your baby needs! I just finished my master’s degree so I have a very open availability. I am available M-F 10am - 9pm. I am open to being flexible with what is needed! When in your home your rules go. If you have a list and specific care that is what I will do. Keeping an eye on pets is important even inside the home so they will have my full attention! When walking the leash stays on and we will be the perfect pedestrians. If I have any questions about your pets rules I will ask before you leave us so we make sure we have a fun and safe time together!

“Thank you!”

“Jerry has been phenomenal with Hudson - he is very punctual, communicative and went out of his way to make sure Hudson was taken care of. He is very attentive to Hudson’s needs and behaviors and always takes the time to inform me about anything I need to know. I recommend Jerry to anyone looking for peace of mind and great care”

“Pat is a wonderful help with walking my dog!”

About: I believe it is not only that I like dogs - I believe dogs like me. Dog walker out of Manor Park, NW DC I'm a lifelong dog person. I grew up with Labs and I have had dogs of my own throughout my life as an adult. I am an active person who is not shy about the weather. Rain, snow, and heat don't bother me, and your dog gets a proper walk regardless of the forecast. I come from the school of thought, "there is no bad weather, just bad gear choices." What you can expect: I'll arrive on time, follow your routine (leash, route, treats, any quirks), and send you a photo and short update after each walk. I also dabble in photography, so you'll get good pictures of your pup. Normally I travel with a bag of kibble to give the dogs a small treat at the end of our walk. The dogs really seem to enjoy the treats. I'm happy to do a free meet-and-greet first so your dog and I can get to know each other. Where I walk: Manor Park and nearby neighborhoods, with Rock Creek Park and local parks for longer walks. Midday weekday walks are my specialty, and I'm flexible on days and times. The walk destination usually depends on the location of the house that the dog lives. When in Silver Spring I normally migrate to the closest neighborhood park or Sligo Creek. It all depends on a combination of location and duration of the walk. About me: Just over a year as a professional dog walker on top of my spend with my dogs and the family dogs. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes. I'm active, outdoorsy, and reliable, and I treat every dog's walk like it's my own. Currently working part time. The job is flexible so I have good availability. Also - since I am only working part time. Dog walking will be my second job - I will prioritize it as my job. Your pet's health and well being are priority one. I am strong and healthy and keeping your dog safe and under my control is Priority One. When walking I am alert to my surroundings, always in tune with the variables around me. Watching how the dog responds to the world around them. Anticipating and avoiding any dangers or potential conflict. For boarding - my yard is fenced in and I live walking distance to a wonderful park. My house is casual / dogs are allowed on furniture.

About: I've taken care of dogs since we adopted our first golden retriever, Dutch, when I was in elementary school. I've had dogs consistently for the past 30 years, and cats since I was a teenager. I'm currently the primary caretaker for a 19 year old cat, Fluffy I work from home for an online publication, so my schedule is very flexible. Usually I'm awoken by my cat requesting an audience while he eats breakfast. I can usually fit in pet care during weekdays while you're at work or over a weekend while you're traveling. I've cared for dogs with a fenced yard and without one. I'm happy to take dogs for walks locally or hop in a car to access more park space. I currently have an indoor-only cat, who gets a lot of attention and is generally allowed where he wants to go. If you crate your dog or limit areas a pet can access, I'm comfortable doing that and have with my own pets in the past

About: An avid dog and cat lover, I have experience taking care of both small and large dogs, and kitty cats of all ages. I also own a cat who is a total sweetie pie. My childhood cat who is now 17 was my first dive into the world of fur babies. I nursed her to health when she was a kitten and have been hooked ever since! Book me for walks, drop ins, and longer visits. Also available for weekly dog and cat services! I am reliable, consistent and pet oriented and will do my best to ensure your pet’s needs are met with the upmost of care. I am available weekdays and weekends and am willing to work with your schedule! Plenty of availability this season for all your pet care needs. I am willing and able to travel to different parts of the city. When dog sitting or visiting you can trust me to be mindful of the specific needs for your home.
