“We had an excellent experience with Madelyn! She was super attentive to my dog’s needs and really communicative. He came home very happy! We’ll definitely book with Madelyn again soon.”


6. Leo O.

“Leo has been taking our dog on midday walks twice a week for the past few months. He is unfailingly reliable, communicative and responsive. He lets us know if he is going to be even a few minutes later than usual, even though our dog is low-maintenance and large-bladdered! Leo has given us lots of advance notice on the rare occasion when he was not available for a regular walk (e.g., at the holidays). And he's an all-around nice guy. It gives us great comfort to know that our Jake is getting such excellent care.”

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and I treat each one like they're my own. Because, let's face it, they're more than just pets. I'm passionate about providing top-notch care for dogs of all shapes and sizes, and I'm committed to making sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and well-loved. I have 8 years of experience providing dog walking services, including specialized care for dogs with disabilities, such as blindness and those requiring medication. I work from home with a flexible schedule. Walks in the day are best. If boarding, my wife is home in the evenings as well to make sure your pup will have plenty of attention. I live in a dog friendly apartment in Silver Spring. There's a big courtyard out front for easy access. and many side streets for longer, quieter, walks.

“Helen possesses a genuinely wonderful personality—warm, compassionate, and funny. She has a natural ability to make those around her feel valued and heard, which speaks volumes about the depth of her character. Whether in personal relationships or professional settings, Helen brings a sense of calm, empathy, and sincerity that is both rare and deeply appreciated. One of the qualities I most admire in Helen is her remarkable attention to detail. She approaches every task—big or small—with a level of care and thoroughness that reflects both pride in her work and respect for the people it affects. This meticulous nature is not just about getting things right; it's about doing them with intention and excellence.”


18. Rora G.
“Rora was amazing with my dog (Kiki) and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! My dog is Maltese puppy and is not fully trained but Rora was very patient and knowledgeable on different potty-training techniques. She also kept me updated with adorable pictures and messages throughout the day, so I always knew my pup was in good hands!”


19. Victor F.

“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.”
