Dog Walking in Takoma Park

“Reliable, great communication, and follows instructions!”

“Nadia is terrific — reliable, can-do, and flexible when I got stuck in a traffic jam.”

“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.”

“Izy is amazing! She jumped in at a moments notice and was able to walk Indy for me. Thank you!”

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.

“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.”

“Julie is awesome! She always comes through in a pinch and is always great with Prince!”

“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!”

“This was my first time using Rover and was in a tight spot after my go-to walker was out of town. Andrew was more than we could have asked for. Our dog is an anxious fellow but took to Andrew immediately which really gave us peace of mind.”

“Elina is walking my dog, Pomme, on a weekly basis and she has been amazing. She's always on time, communicative, and is able to get a sometimes stubborn pup to take a walk and use the bathroom. She also is genuinely excited to hang out with Pomme!”

About: As a dog owner for over a decade, I love every opportunity to spend time walking and caring for my pup. I have provided in-home and drop-in pet sitting for friends and neighbors for several years. Now I'm looking to do the same for your pups. I'm currently furloughed from my job and so have a very flexible schedule between 9am and 5pm on weekdays, and can also accommodate dog walks on weekends with sufficient advance notice. I take walking safety seriously and will only walk your dog on leash. I am also happy to take them to their favorite dog park to get out those zoomies.

About: I was practically raised by wolves lol. Growing up in a Huge Southern Household I’ve had plenty of Paws-on experience with dozens of breeds, all sizes, ages, and temperaments. From HUGE St Bernard’s and German shepherd’s, to Pomeranians and Yorkipoos! I’m a college student on summer break, so the sky is the limit! My schedule is extremely flexible, and I will be happy to discuss that further with you. Unfortunately, I do not offer boarding services at this time. I am familiar and experienced taking precautionary measures to keep your fur baby safe and happy home and in public spaces.

About: I’m an owner to a rescue named Sully that I saved from the streets of Dallas in 2023. I love dogs, cats, and pets of all kinds. I have over 6 years of experience handling big dogs, and am an avid runner and trainer with my boy. Sully and I would love to watch you and your fur babies and walk them, shoot me a message and let’s connect! I work full-time, so I will definitely be able to watch your pups on the weekend. Feel free to send a booking request and we can work something out! I own a dog who is highly obedient and well-trained. I would look after your dog as if it were my boy Sully. I am happy to do dog-walking and dog sitting, and have experience with cats as well.

About: Currently my brother and I are working from home and don't mind having your dog here to accompany us. We love furry guests! I've had/watched dogs all my life ranging from teacups to great Danes, we love them all! Working from home 5 days a week (introverts for sure) we are available most week days and weekends. Our morning and afternoon walks for its nothing to add your fur baby! We have pups and dislike crates so I let them roam the house. If the house is too foreign I will limit them to the room im occupying with occasional backyard fun and 20/30 min walks. I also send pics daily/hourly depending on owners comfort level.

“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.”

About: I've had a passion caring for animals since I was little. I've cared for neighbors dogs and as I get older I've participated in vet camps, volunteered and interned at animal shelters and clinics. I'm also in college majoring in animal science to eventually become a veterinarian! Pet care is already a consistent part of my daily routine so I’m comfortable fitting walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins into my schedule. I plan my days carefully to make sure my guinea pig gets reliable attention, feed, and cuddle time. In my home, I keep my pets safe, comfortable, and on a consistent routine with food, water, cleaning, and attention. I care for my guinea pig daily, so I’m used to being responsible and attentive to pets needs. In clients homes, I follow their pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship.

“So happy to have Alison walk our dog. She comes twice a week for afternoon walks and Mello has a lovely time and a nice long walk. She loves to see Alison and I’m so grateful we engaged with her.”

“I was nervous leaving my babies in the hands of someone with no reviews yet, but I have no regrets. My dogs seemed to LOVE him and will definitely book again soon while his prices are so affordable!”

Annette B.

“Olivia was awesome! She was on time, great with communication, and took great care of our dog on her walk. Would definitely use Olivia’s services again.”

About: What sets me apart is my endless patience and keen attention to detail—I treat every pet like they're my own. When I'm not spoiling my own kitties, you'll find me behind the camera, snapping cat photos to help them find their forever homes. Rest assured, I'll share the best update pictures of your fur babies while you're away. I work full-time but am mostly home-based, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention and care for your pets throughout the day. Whether it's drop-ins, walking, or just taking a break to give your furry friend some love, I'm here to ensure they're happy and comfortable. Available on weekdays and weekends! Drop-In Visits / House Sitting: When visiting your home, I’ll ensure your pet has fresh food and water, take them out for a walk or let them out for a bathroom break, and spend quality time playing or cuddling with them. I treat your home with care and your pet like family.
