About: I love animals and I have always had a variety of pets (both typical and unique) as beloved members of my family or cherished beings I’ve gotten the opportunity to spend time with. Some of the animals I’ve lived with or cared for include: dogs, cats, fish (salt and fresh), birds, hedgehogs, hamsters, reptiles, rabbits, pigs, and many more! I currently live in Petworth with my partner and our 4 beautiful rescue dogs (Havanese-4 y/o, Pomeranian-15 y/o, Husky-10 y/o, and Pittie-6 y/o). Over the years, my diverse and pawfict pack has taught me more and more about pet care. Especially my senior Pomeranian–whom I’ve had the privilege to love since he was a rambunctious puppy–now into his baby grandpa-hood, and hopefully into his twilight years. I look forward to walking dogs and meeting/sitting various pets in our neighborhood. Thank you for considering me to care for your special family member! My schedule can be somewhat flexible - if I know in advance I can change the days/hours I work. I work in my office 8 hours a day, four days a week. My in-office days are (typically) Monday - Thursday, 10 am to 7 pm (because of commute time), so on these days I can walk or visit your pet before or after work. With prearrangement, your pet may even be able to accompany me in office (my 15 y/o Pomeranian comes with me to work). On my work-from-home days, I’m available to sit and work from your home or take a lunch break to walk or drop-in on your pet. On weekends my availability is variable, but I try my best to keep my Rover calendar up to date. My partner and I live in Hyattsville with our 4 dogs (Havanese-Maltese, Pomeranian, Husky mix, and Terrier mix). We have a backyard and 2 separate living spaces in our home, giving us room for extra pups. Our home has one-step entry in the back, making it great for elderly dogs or dogs with joint problems.

“Highly recommend Zach! He has just started walking my dog, Cooper, M-F for the past 2 weeks and the experience has been nothing short of fantastic. Zach is incredibly reliable and punctual, and he has a natural way with dogs that is evident in how excited Cooper gets whenever he sees him. Also takes fire photos of Cooper too!”

“Gregg H. is the best ! He is always on time, reliable as well as very patient and attentive with my dog Zoomie. Knowing Zoomie is in such capable hands really makes me feel at ease. Zoomie loves and looks forward to his walks with Gregg !”

About: I have cared for dogs of all sizes for about 5 years now. Walking, feeding, playing, and even cuddling are some of my favorite things to do to satisfy the dogs needs as well as the everyday physical requirement. I love being in the presence of animals, so gaining the opportunity to care for them personally would be a delight. I am currently engaged in a part-time law internship so I have an ample amount of time to spread accordingly throughout the week. From early morning hours, to mid-day or even evenings on the weekends or weekdays, I am available. My approach to caring for the pets within the clients home is firstly, abiding by the rules of the home and expectations of the pet. For example, if the dog is not allowed on the couch, I would not want to disrupt that practice during my visit. Secondly, I would provide my undivided attention to the dog, ensuring all of the necessary requirements are met.

About: I had two dogs back in my hometown and they feel like boss of the house when I am around. I can take care of puppies, small dogs and big ones too. I am currently doing my masters at UMD and I am usually free in the day because my classe are mostly scheduled in the evening I live in apartment housing, well it has a park and lot of space to walk around. I can come to your house and walk them around.

“Zaira truly went above and beyond for our dog Chino! She was the absolutely best and we would definitely use her services again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 including training my own childhood dog. I have worked with labs, bouviers, golden retrievers, terriers, and more! I am working from home so I will have lots of time to spend with your pet. I would love an opportunity to spend the extra time I have with your pet! I am a very patient person & am used to working with all types of dogs. Also, am very organized so no worries with time management!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, from growing up with cats and birds to caring for my shy rescue husky. I’m comfortable working with nervous dogs, senior pets, and administering medication when needed. My focus is always on creating a safe, relaxed environment where pets feel loved and care for. Pet care is women into my daily life. I plan my mornings and evenings around my husky’s walks, feeding and playtime. I’m organized and flexible, so I can reliably fit your pet’s care into my routine and make sure they feel happy and safe while you’re away. Pets feel most comfortable at home, so I focus on maintaining their usual schedule and environment. I carefully follow feeding times, walks, play and medication instructions, all while providing gentle care and plenty of affections to keep them calm and happy while you are away.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, from tiny Chihuahuas to large German Shepherds. I’m comfortable with all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I regularly care for my friends’ dogs when they travel and love building bonds through walks, playtime, and snuggles. I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and a lot of love! I currently work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule during the day, evenings, and weekends. This allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they need, whether it’s for walks, playtime, feedings, or just good company! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel comfortable and secure. I respect clients’ homes and I treat every pet like family because that’s what they are.

“Responsive on short notice when my regular dog walker was sick. Prompt and reliable and provided photos, check-ins, etc.”

“Kasey has been great with our pup. Communicating with her is very easy, which is important to us because we’re gone for 10 hours during the day. It comforts us to know that we have someone we can rely on to check on our little one while we’re at work.”

About: I grew up with a family dog and have experience walking and caring for my aunt’s dog over the years. I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets especially taking them out on walks and giving them belly rubs! I work from home 2 to 3 times a week and have free time on the weekends, so I’m looking for a way to get outside and stay active. Whether it's a walk during my break or a midday visit, I'd love the chance to step away from the screen and connect with a pet. When walking your dog, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take time to get to know your pup’s pace and preferences, whether they love sniffing around the block or prefer a quick walk. I always make sure their harness or leash is secure, bring water if needed, and watch for signs of tiredness or discomfort, especially in hot weather.

About: I have a strong love and appreciation for pets and making them feel valued. I enjoy getting to see their personalities and showing them care! I am a current full-time college student, so I typically have much free time to take part in pet care throughout the week, especially weekends! I ensure that I meet client’s needs for their pets and remain respectful to their homes and fur babies. I analyze and assess the emotions of their pets to make sure they are happy and being well taken care of!

About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of dogs for the past 10 years from my Own to friends and family. Love all furbabys alike I’m currently working from home and have a lot of extra time on my hands. Why not fill it with fur babies it’s very rewarding I am great at following instructions any care instructions given or needed for your pet will always be followed thoroughly as needed to ensure happy pet

About: My friends always trust me to walk their dogs and care for their pets when they’re away. I’m reliable, gentle, and love spending time with animals, whether it’s a fun walk or just keeping them company. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make it a regular part of my week. I’m available Monday through Friday anytime after 2pm, and I’m happy to fit pet care into my schedule whenever needed. I treat every pet like they’re my own, whether I’m in my home or theirs. I follow the owner’s routine closely, make sure they feel safe and comfortable, and always give them lots of attention, play, and care. Clean water, potty breaks, and belly rubs included!
