Dog Walking in Silver Spring

“Erykah relates well with my dog. She is the first walker I tried on Rover and I’ll be sticking with her. My dog is a puppy and a bit reactive to other dogs so I was worried about leaving him in anyone’s care, but she was great. Also, I made lots of mistakes on the app because it was my first time using it. She guided me through the process and was very patient when I got things wrong.”

About: I grew up with 2 big dogs in my house and would dog sit for friends families. Now I dog sit for many of my coworkers who trust me not only in our day job but also with their best friend, their pet. I work from home four days a week and have the flexibility to step away from my computer when need be. We end on Fridays by 3 PM and Tuesday-Thursday I am available at lunch as well as after 4 PM. I will always make sure your dog is safely on leash and that I am in control. Unless specifically stated I will make sure that your dog does not get into unsafe situations whether with people or other dogs who are out when we are walking.

“Monica is always on time for each walk and quick with responses and all communication. It’s nice to know that our beloved 4-legged baby is taken care of! Thank you Monica!”

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 work part at a coffee shop and I am a full time student at Montgomery College as a psychology major! I’m at the silver spring campus and live near by and have a decent amount of time through my weekdays, I usually work weekends at the coffee shop so weekend availability is limited! 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!

“Joe takes great care of our dog during their daily walks and gives great updates! Would definitely recommend for anyone needing dog walking/boarding services!”

“Lindsay was responsible flexible and took great care of the dogs during some awful weather conditions! Thanks!!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for 25 years now. Growing up I had a dog, five cats, and our house was known to feed the stray cats in the neighborhood. I’m a huge animal lover. I’ve been pet sitting clients for the past 4 years, and I absolutely love the work. Dogs and cats are so sensitive to change, so I love catering to their needs to make sure their time apart is free from stress. I do this by maintaining their routine, providing plenty playtime/exercise if they’re open and able, lots of pets and cuddles if they’re interested, and staying home as much as possible so they can have the security of a present and consistent caretaker (overnight care). I want the pets to feel like they’re on vacation too! As for the pet owners/stewards, I love to send plenty of pictures and videos, so they can feel at ease knowing their pets are cared for! I don’t have a lot of selfies/photos with the pets but under my photos you’ll see all the sweet pets I’ve cared for! Please let me know if you have any questions! I’m a part time actor— mostly theatre. I’m free during the daytime and normally have rehearsals in the evening. When there are evening rehearsals I walk dogs in the early evening 5 or 6 before leaving and walk them before bed, around 10:30.** **As of April 12th 2026 I’ll have full availability for dog/cat sitting and dog walking I prefer staying in a clients home so pets can stay in an environment they’re used to. I provide lots of cuddles for the pets that need it. If clients have carpeting, I’d like to know their preferred carpet cleaning methods (I.e. machine or hand scrub) in case of any accidents.

“Olivia had a great meet and greet with my pup! She was patient, friendly, knowledgable and connected to him easily. When she walked away, he sat and watched-- I don't think he wanted his new friend to go!”

Anna G.

“Holland was communicative and easy to work with. She was patient with my dog Ginger who doesn’t love walks in the rain and helped her still get outside. We’d love to have her again.”

Shruti I.

“Joseph M was great with Diego and Daisy. He has a great manner with the dogs. He was reliable and sent regular, detailed updates. We will use him again in a heartbeat.”

Ellen B.

“Jonathan was great with our recently adopted dog that gave him a hard time. He was calm, patient and adapted to the situation as needed, communicating well along the way.”

Abigail S.

“Sandi was able to step in for me in an emergency situation and I could not have been more grateful. It’s clear that Sandi is an experienced dog walker in the area and knows just where to take the dogs so they can play and have fun. Thank you Sandi!”

Bridget C.

“Thanks for taking such great care of Murphy! Happy Spring!”

“George had a great walk and extra time outdoors while I was out for a full day. Thomas responded to George’s needs as an older dog sensitive to hot weather. He loved getting out for fresh air and I got a lot of cute photos!”

“Victor was great! We needed a Rover at the last minute during the holiday season and he was available. He met up with us the same day to go over everything and communicated the entire time we were out of town. We came back to a very happy dog! We can’t thank him enough and will definitely try to book again if he’s available.”

Aminah B.

“We are just thrilled with the care Leo's reliability, kindness, and the care he shows for our dog. I happened to be home when he came by yesterday, and saw that he removed his shoes when he came in. Our family doesn't wear shoes in the house and we have a tray next to the door for shoes, but we never ask or expect guests to remove theirs. Leo is so considerate and observant that he did this on his own. I think this speaks volumes about him. We feel very fortunate to have him caring for Jake.”

Donna G.

“Deava is great! She’s always very responsive and follows our requested walking/feeding schedule. We’ve even recommended her to some of our neighbors looking for a dog walker. She’s reliable, kind, and truly seems to care for our dog.”

Aminah B.

“I can tell Adi is perfect with Timothy. They really hit it off. Adi is a keeper!”

Fran S.

“Sahrata is G-R-E-A-T! She expertly handled Leo, a 16 month, rough collie and gave him extra love and attention. Sahrata is trustworthy, personable and professional. I would absolutely book with her again!”
