Dog Walking Shaw

“Rut has been a wonderful and reliable dog walker. I was so thankful to have her scheduled for a walk one day when my dog happened to get sick. Rut immediately communicated the problem with me so I was able to leave work, and she took care of (and even cleaned) my dog. Had Rut not been there, my little girl would have been alone and sick all day. Very thankful for Rut. I trust her to take great care of my dachshund.”

“Samantha was wonderful!! Incredible accommodating to our change in schedule and very easy to communicate with. She provided prompt updates and really sweet pictures :-) We are also SO grateful that her previous work experience means she can skillfully do injections for our senior kitty, which is a big deal! Thanks Samantha!”

“Eric was amazing! He stepped in on short notice to walk our dog Sammy, and even gave our cat Lucy some attention when he would stop by to pick Sammy up for the walk. He was very communicative and friendly and did not hesitate to set up a meet and greet before we left town. We would use Eric again in a heartbeat, he was great!”

About: I had a boxer mix and several cats growing up. I’ve dog walked every thing from a Pomeranian to a Cane Corso! Animals are such a great support system. I understand the importance of having someone else care for your family member. I am generally available anytime throughout the day as long as I have a decent amount of notice! I am flexible! I love all animals big and small and like to learn their behaviors and little quirks so it’ll be a great experience for us all! I have an apartment in the Shaw neighborhood. I have a dog bed if I do sit for them and can provide a space for their food and water.

“We had a great experience working with Ashley for our 9 month old puppy. It was our first time using dogvacay and she was always quick to respond. I felt like our dog was in good hands with her and will definitely use her again if I ever leave town!”

“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!”

Johnny L.

“Great walks with lots of good photos and consistent updates.”

“Waqar helped out in a pinch when I was sick and really needed someone to walk my dog. She’s strong and has a lot of energy, and he did amazing with her. She clearly had a great time on their walks and slept all day, which was perfect since I had no energy. Will definitely book again!”

About: Have lived with, taken care of, and adopted dogs since I can remember! I treat my dog and other dogs with kindness, grace, and patience because they deserve the world! I am currently a sophomore at Howard University. This means my schedule consists mainly of class, extracurricular activities, and the gym, leaving a smaller sliver of time to dog walk. However, I am willing to be flexible at the need of your pet! I am currently staying in a dorm which does not allow me to house a pet, however, in a clients home, I am very diligent in keeping the pet in sight, away from valuables, and inside!

About: I am working in DC from 9-5, but I am happy to meet and take care of your sweet babies outside of that range! I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. We had a Great Dane-Mastiff growing up for 13 years and now I hang out with my Rottweiler, Nova, all day. I also have a pair of sister cats named Snickers and Doodle! I’m well-versed in giving them medicine, going for walks, and giving pets all the love they deserve. I recently moved to DC and work 9-5, but I am happy to care for your pets anytime around those hours! I am flexible with holidays and weekends with enough notice. I am very respectful and would treat your home just like my own. I strive to make your pets routine as normal as possible as I know being away from their beloved parents can be stressful.

About: Hi! My name is Cadence, and I cared for animals growing up. I’ve taken care of my childhood dog since I was about nine. I used to feed, bathe, and play with her. I also used to have a cat and showed the same care I did for my dog. And my family and I used to take care of our neighbor’s dogs when they were out of town. I want to show the same love for your pets as I did for my own. I’m currently a full-time college student with a flexible schedule. I’m free from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm on MWF and 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm on TT. On weekends I’m open from morning to evening. I currently live on campus, so pet sitting in my dorm isn’t possible. I can make sure to note everything that my potential clients needs for me to take care of their pets to ensure their safety.

“Great dog walker! Would definitely recommend Leah to anyone.”

“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.”

Gigi R.

“Shae was incredibly easy to work with and instantly put me at ease. She arrived on time, bonded quickly with my dogs, and treated them like her own. She kept me updated throughout the day with adorable photos and let me know right away if anything came up. I’d absolutely book her again!”

Savannah D.

“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!”
