“Leila came to my rescue w/ my last minute request for doggy daycare today. She responded quickly and made my Zoe feel so welcome at drop off. Zoe did not want to leave when I picked her up, which is a first. Leila is a dog whisperer! Thank you for your kindness and the adorable photos. Immediately had peace of mind knowing Zoe was in great care w/ a loving sitter. My girl Zoe can be a bit high maintenance but Leila never made me feel like an inconvenience. I highly recommend Leila to care for your fur baby.”

She makes sure your pup has a great balance of walks, enrichment, and rest throughout the day. I can see how she really takes the care to love your pup like her own. I couldn’t be happier, thank you Scarlett!!”
About: I have had dogs all my adult life. From feral rehabilitation, agility course training, anxiety mending/trust building, to senior & end of life care. I love all dogs & give them the care our companions deserve. Every day, I wake up to my two ladies (Xena, Border Collie & Winny, soft-coat Wheaton Terrier) and get to care for them. My life is completed by these twos adventures & antics. My ladies schedule: A walk EVERY morning at 5:30 -breakfast (yogurt, frozen blueberries over dry dog food) 10:30 we are at the private dog park, tossing the ball to burn off energy 3:00 walk/dog park -Dinner time (pumpkin, teeth cleaner, lamb topping over dry dog food) 6:00/7:00 walkies 9:30 last call BONUS: The weekend is reserved for trips to trails, outdoor dinning/dog friendly restaurants, bigger dog parks, or dog friendly events.

About: I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pup like family while you're away. I work from home full-time, so your dog will always have company and lots of cuddles throughout the day. - I only host one client at a time, so you dont have to worry about unfamiliar dogs during their stay. -Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or a slower-paced routine, I’m happy to match their needs. -I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I also have experience with dogs with separation anxiety and food or environmental allergies. 📷 You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. **I live in an apartment building, so I can't safely accommodate large dogs that are reactive to people or other dogs, since it's not possible to completely avoid encounters in shared spaces.** I can accommodate regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins, and I’m able to adjust my routine to meet your dog’s needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I follow all care instructions, use leashes on walks, and provide a calm, secure environment with regular updates.

About: I love all dogs, but I've grown up taking care of primarily large dogs like Pitbulls. My neighbors rely on me very often to take care of their pets when needed. I currently have a very flexible schedule while I am going to college online. I am available during the week and some weekends! Pet care is already built into my daily routine, so please let me know how I can make your day easier by spending some time with your fur baby. During the walks your fur baby is my main focus. I love going for long walks to get some energy out, but short walks are also nice. I walk my sweet dog separately from other fur babies to alleviate the stress of dog introductions.

I deal with animals in my everyday life and i’m more than happy to meet more! I have one friendly cat and one energetic dog, with a big and spacious back yard for them. I myself am energetic so I can match any pet’s energy.

About: As a recent GW magna cum laude graduate and longtime resident of the DC-metro area, I have the ability and experience to provide quality care services to you and your beloved pet by maintaining a strong, balanced routine while you are away. As the former owner of a senior dog, I excel at meeting medication standards during feeding and scanning dogs for tics and other external-borne threats. As an NYC native, I have over 10 years of experience dog-walking in urban areas, especially in maintaining dog safety from foot and vehicle traffic. By combining a strong work (and play) ethic with a passionate love for all dogs, I am a safe bet to care for your canine companion! I’m currently living in the DC metro area after completing a BA at GWU. I will be headed to Ireland for graduate school in the fall, and until then, my schedule is completely free to care for your canine family! I live in a residential coop with a park and open green spaces for your dog to play off-leash (if trained). As a former collegiate athlete, I can reach any level of demanded exercise for your dog.

About: I have cared for my pets, both dogs and cats, my entire life. I have also been a trusted friend to watch friends’ animals while they have been out of town. I currently work from home Monday-Friday with a fairy flexible schedule. I can host, board, walk, or visit through the day during both weekdays and weekends. I have a spacious apartment and balcony that can be used depending on pet preference. I have neighborhoods and plenty of parks near me to take pets on walks. Alternatively, I can adapt to whatever the usual routine is for pets in their own home.

She sent great pictures during the walk and kept me updated with clear and consistent communication, which I really appreciated. The routes were well planned, and she made sure my dog got a thorough walk, even exceeding the scheduled time. She also made sure my dog had water for hydration afterward, which meant a lot to me.

I felt completely comfortable and confident leaving my dog in her care and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend Guiselle to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”

I will be booking again!”

I highly recommend Eric’s services for your one-off or regular dog care needs!”
