Dog Walking In U Street Corridor

About: When I was 12, my family got a chocolate lab named Mocha. She was awesome, and she kicked off a life-long love of dogs! More recently, I lived with my sister and her dog, Taiye, in San Francisco for 3 years. Sweetest chihuahua mix you ever did see. I quit my full-time job a little while ago to pursue some other stuff, so I have a pretty flexible schedule during the week! Weekends may require more advanced planning, but I'd be happy to discuss it! When I lived with my sister's dog, Taiye, I was her primary care-taker about half the time, and I spent most of time trying to get cute pics of her. My sister is a big softie, so I take credit for quite a bit of Taiye's training as well :)

“Yulia was amazing and took such great care of our pups. She was extremely communicative and sent us photos from each walk and sent us notes about how each was doing. Highly recommend.”

“Great job! Timely, good communication, picture updates, and patience for a dog who constantly wants to sniff or pull you towards the dog park.”

“Jacqueline was great! Timely and prompt communication, and our dog was super excited to see her. She handled our dog’s puppy energy really well, and I’d highly recommend her in the future.”

“Jefferson takes great care of my big guy. He jumped in for a last minute need and now is our weekly walker. During our first meeting he took diligent notes which showed me his high level of care. Definitely will use again.”

“Riley last minute helped me out after I sprained my ankle and needed help taking my 10 month old, golden retriever for a long walk while I recover. She was communicative and professional. She was timely and my dog loved her!”

Madeline S.

“Hired Rebecca for a last-minute emergency walk; she was professional, timely, and most importantly great with my dog Stella. 10/10 would walk again!!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life and finally adopted my first two years ago! Well before my partner and I adopted our rescue, I was helping out family and friends as a sitter and walker. Whenever I was at a house with a dog, I always wound up being the designated fetch partner. I’m a dedicated caretaker who loves taking my pup around the block, to the park and on adventures. I raised and trained my dog from a puppy and have experience watching dogs ages 1-18! As a dog parent myself, I know how important communication, transparency and, of course, getting pictures of your pup is when you’re away from them. I’m excited to meet, walk and play with more dogs around the district! I work five days a week (M-F) from home, but my schedule is flexible and allows for me to take breaks as needed to tend to my own dog and pop out to care for others whenever necessary. Afternoons are ideal, but I can be available in evenings, mornings and overnight with advanced notice. My dog roams free at home, but she started out crate trained and graduated from there. I’m comfortable caring for a dog/dogs who roam free or are crated and have no issue retrieving them from there and returning them to their space as needed.

“The best sitter I’ve ever had on rover! Hands down”

About: We’ve both had dogs in our family since we were young and we have our very own, paçoca! She’s a nova scotia duck toller. Her name means little peanut in portuguese and nothing describes her better than that. we love nothing more than to be around dogs. We would love to care for yours! We both work a hybrid schedule and at least one of us is always available to care for, play, and walk pets as many times as needed. We can provide your dog with the exercise they may need, whether it is a morning run, long walk in the afternoon, or dog park visit. We live in a pet-friendly two bedroom apartment with lots of light and space. Dogs we’ve cared for prior really enjoyed laying on the couch/their beds and getting some sun. We live very close to Logan Circle, which is a great, pleasant and green space in downtown DC for dogs to walk and play with other dogs. We love incorporating the pets’ routines into our own and can adapt as needed. Taking them on walks during the day is a great opportunity to take work breaks, get some fresh air, and enjoy the day. Our apartment is spacious and gets lots of sunlight, which the dogs love! It’s also close to lots of nice green areas such as Logan Circle or the S street dog park!

“Louisa was reliable and followed all of my instructions for Scoot! Definitely recommend!”
