Dog Walking Takoma Park

“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.”

“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.”

“Couldn't be happier with Joe and his great communication while looking after my boy. Thanks a million and I hope that I can use you again in the future.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds and sizes for over 5 years. Coworker and friends trust me with their precious fur babies. I’m patient enough to work with puppies or senior dogs as well. I’m also very comfortable with cats and their different temperaments. I’m currently working part time remotely so I have the flexibility and time to give your pets all the love and care they need. With enough notice I can be available any day of the week at any time. I currently live where there is a pet limit but I am free and available to travel to you to look after any of your pets.

“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!”

“Michael did a great job taking care of our dog! She immediately took to him and was nice and tired after good long walks. Very communicative and easy to work with!”

“Sydney is wonderful!! She came to meet us all before the first walks and listened to our concerns and issues with care. She’s very good about being in touch via text for messaging, as well, which really helps during our WFH lifestyles! She arrives promptly, in great spirits, ready to walk our two energetic dogs. They both have a full, enjoyable walk and we couldn’t be happier with our choice of Sydney as the new walking buddy for our puppies! ??”

“Sam was available last minute for a week of daily walks for our labradoodle. Would highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and pets have always been a big part of my life. I currently have two cats of my own, and growing up I was surrounded by all kinds of family pets, including cats, rabbits, and dogs ranging from Cavalier King Charles Spaniels to Huskies and German Shepherds. Because I’ve spent my whole life caring for animals, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs. Whether your dog needs a long walk, your cat wants some company and attention, or your pet simply needs someone dependable to keep their routine on track, I’m happy to provide it. When you’re away, your pets deserve more than just someone stopping by to fill a bowl. My goal is to provide safe, reliable, attentive care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are comfortable, cared for, and getting the attention they deserve while their person is away. I work a consistent schedule, so I’m intentional about only listing availability on days when I have the flexibility to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I only accept bookings starting after 1 PM, allowing me to provide reliable, unhurried care without having to rush between commitments. My goal is to make sure that when I say I’m available, I’m genuinely available to be there for your pets. I’m happy to give your dog brisk, engaging walks with plenty of time to stop, sniff, and explore along the way. For safety reasons, I don’t take dogs I’m caring for to dog parks, since I can’t control how other off-leash dogs may behave. If your cat is a fan of playtime, let me know their favorite toys, games, or activities, and I’ll happily work some playtime into our routine!

“Larquana was awesome with our high energy dog Milo. She was timely, sent me updates and photos of Milo looking extremely happy during their time together, and ensured to put all of Milo’s items back in their place which was very helpful and sweet. We will definitely be calling Larquana again.”

Tyra M.

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

About: I grew up with dogs and have always valued spending time with and caring for them. I still walk, feed, play with, and love my two family dogs, although I am not the primary caretaker. Recently, I adopted my own cat whom I feed and play with daily, change her litter box, etc. I am not able to care for my own dog right now, as I’m very busy with dental school and do not feel ready for one, but I want many of my own in the future and cannot wait to care for your dog(s)!! I’m currently in my last year of school so I’m a lot more flexible! I have pets of my own and I make sure to give them the care they need. I will do the same for your pets! I will make sure to provide your pets with the best care possible, whether it’s for a walk or a longer stay. I plan to offer the best care depending on the situation!

About: My name is Larie , I love dogs and I cared for them most of my life , for almost 9 plus years . I can walk , feed, and care for dogs as well as have some play time . I love to really connect with the dog and know more about them. I have two little ones of my own that I love very much named Laylah and Coco , I care for mix breeds and small dogs and I hope to venture out to bigger breeds soon. I do work part time with a changing schedule so, please feel free to message me what days you need care, and I will love to accommodate you as best as possible. Hope to hear from all you soon. X o I’m working part time currently so that gives me free time to care for your pups. M,T,F,S after 1PM. W&T after 7PM. Thank you all! I can assure your pup is safe by creating a safe environment while in the home for example, making sure all doors are secured and locked, remaining alert to assure your pup is safe at all times including keeping the environment clean from any harmful materials.

“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.”

About: I have ample experience taking care of all kinds of pets, with all kinds of medical needs, administering medication, walking dogs at any length that is required. I am available during most of a standard day and can work most times advanced noticed. Whatever you and your pets needs are, I will work to meet them. I provide pets with as much care and attention as possible when both boarding and caring for them in other spaces. I work hard to make sure every space I take them to is pet friendly and safe for them.

“This was the first time I booked Natalia to walk my pup. She was very easy to coordinate with and sent me a couple of photos of their walk. I would definitely book her again.”

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for both younger and senior dogs. I have two dogs of my own, CJ (4) and Molly (10), so I understand that every pet has different needs and routines. I’m patient, attentive, and will make sure your pet gets plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I prioritize daily walks, playtime, and check-ins to make sure every pet I care for gets the attention they need. I always make time to ensure pets are happy, healthy, and comfortable. In my home, I create a safe, pet friendly environment with plenty of space for play and relaxation. I ensure pets feel comfortable and at ease, sticking to their routine and providing personal attention throughout the day. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their pet’s familiar surroundings, following specific instructions for feeding, exercise, and medication.

About: Feeding: Providing the appropriate food and clean water at regular intervals according to the pet's dietary needs. Some pets may require special diets or feeding schedules. Exercise: Engaging in physical activities and playtime to keep pets active and healthy. The type and amount of exercise vary depending on the pet's species and breed. Grooming: Brushing, bathing, and grooming pets to maintain their coat and skin health. Some pets require regular grooming, while others may need it less frequently. Socialization: Ensuring that pets receive adequate social interaction and mental stimulation. This is particularly important for social animals like other dogs. Cleanliness: Cleaning and maintaining the pet's living area to prevent the buildup of waste and to maintain hygiene. Love and Affection: Offering love, attention, and companionship to create a bond with the pet. Pets thrive on the emotional connection with their owners. Pet-specific Knowledge: Understanding the unique requirements of different pets, whether it's the temperature needs of reptiles, the nutritional needs of birds, or the exercise needs of dogs. We were working from home 90% of the time. We had to put down our dog not long ago and miss a four-leg companion. We like to walk during mornings for about 45 minutes. In Your Own Home: Prepare a Safe Environment: -Live on gated community with a dog park. Communication: -Keep the pet owner informed about their pet's well-being through regular updates and photos. -Notify them promptly of any concerns or changes in the pet's health. Cleanliness: - Keep the pet's living area clean and tidy. - Dispose of waste properly.

About: I’ve been known to treat animals like my children. I create a special bond with all animals. I believe animals deserve the same care and love as humans do. I love seeing the joy in there eyes when you have given them or helped them accomplish goals. What sets me apart is my abilities to love them as my own. I believe animals are beautiful and compassionate souls who can give more love than they can receive. What also sets me aside from anyone else how attentive I am with each animal. Everyone deserves independent attention and communication. Dogs ,cats etc are just like us humans , they just speak a total different language. I love learning more and giving animals love. Love is all they need!
