Dog Walking Washington Heights

“My little Mario 🐾 gets excited when I tell him Kathy is coming to walk him. She took him for a car ride and to the park for an extra fun time. I got a full report on how my little guy is doing and I’m so happy Kathy takes such good care while I’m away.”

“I really appreciated Elizabeth's willingness to do a meet and greet before the first walk. She was super patient and understanding with my anxious pup. Would recommend!”

About: I've had multiple dogs over the last 30 years. Mainly Bull Mastiffs, Border Collie Mix, and multiple Pitties. We lately have been adopting older dogs to give them the best end of life possible. For friends I've watched many smaller to larger dogs, comfortable with all. I have experience with all sorts of meds and care, although I prefer to stay away from anything with needles when possible. We've been to the vet more times than I can count, and have gotten good at understanding/reading dog behavior and signs of distress. I have experience with all soft of personalities...shy or alpha, lazy or rambunctious, etc. I like to understand them and work with them where they are at so they enjoy themselves and are happy. I'm a pretty calm presence and in general dogs trust me right away. My wife will joke that I am a dog whisperer as dogs tend to follow my lead easily, but I think it is simply being confident and projecting that you are there to take care of them. I have a very flexible work schedule and am home most of the time. I only have 1 dog right now (Oscar, 82 lb Pitty who loves everything and everyone...he walks around with soft toys like they are his dolls), but will likely be back to 2 in the near future. I walk my pup(s) pretty much every day. We live near Hart Park and the Oak Leaf Trail so getting out to walk along the river/parks is very easy. New to doing this formally rather than just for friends. Normally watch friends dogs at their place. If we take care of your pup in our home, we will always have 1+ pups that will be other-dog friendly. My wife and I have a small Tosa home but fully fenced-in yard to be able to let them out at any time day or night without worry. We have a small main floor but it has 3-4 dog beds and multiple toys (prefer dogs who are ok with soft toys, as our pup(s) don't rip those up. Will likely prefer caring for your pup in your home, it simply mitigates the crowding in the house and any potential conflicts. If I look after any cats, those would be at your house. We no longer have cats and aren't prepped for that in any way.

“Ivy is so great! Kobe is a happy pup when she’s take him for a walk!”

About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was little. From puppies to seniors, I’m experienced in all stages of life. Seeing dogs happy brings me so much joy. I love being playful with pups but also gentle and caring. I am studying my work but I do have plenty of free time to take care of animals. My schedule is fairly flexible whether it’s early mornings, mid day or evenings. Pups need playtime! I’m always willing to play- having their favorite toy, a fenced backyard or a leash is all I need. I love giving dogs scratches and belly rubs. If needed, I could crate them up/put is designated area.

“Very responsive and provided great care for Bentley!”

About: I have extensive experience in pet sitting, having raised my own dogs from puppies to adulthood. I have a 10 year old small Cockapoo and an 8 year old big Golden Doodle, both of whom I've cared for since they were born. Additionally, I have a highly energetic Blue Heeler, so I'm well knowledged in managing dogs with high energy levels. My skills include basic training for puppies, ensuring they learn good behaviors early on, and providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs. I absolutely love dogs and will make sure they revive the love and attention that they very much deserve. Pet care is a big part of my daily life. I make sure to spend quality time with my dogs every day, whether it's walking, feeding, or playing with them. I ensure pets are comfortable by maintaining a clean, safe environment, providing regular meals, exercise, and playtime, and giving them lots of love and attention.

“Charlotte was awesome. The dogs were a bit over excited at first but she did a great job of calming them down. Would recommend.”

About: I’ve worked as a dog groomer and at a dog kennel and I’ve also had lots of personal pets of my own from Puppies, Kittens, elder dogs with medications. So I can give your pets medications along with grooming and taking care of them in the aspect of making sure they’re healthy from working in a veterinary clinic in the grooming department. I am completely open, I have a pet cat that lives with my grandma so she’s taken care of fully so I can take care of your pets as needed as much as possible! I can take care of what you need in every aspect, whether you need your dog washed, nails trimmed, brush teeth, cat nail clipping, anything you ask I can bring and do for you for extra if needed! I also have a traveling pet bath with waterless shampoo and brush set for a good grooming if your pet needs it!

About: I’ve had animals growing up, and been relied on by neighbors and friends to take care of theirs when they take trips. These include going over to feed them, walk them, and make sure they got company while the family was away! I enjoy taking care of animals when I can, which is why I love pet sitting and meeting more people around the area of Morgantown. My schedule is pretty flexible with notice, so can work with you on time and dates through excellent communication. I have an apartment that is animal friendly with a roommate that loves dogs and cats! We’re a household that enjoys each others company and will provide a warm environment for your pets.

“Sydney was the best!!! She went above and beyond to keep me updated on our pets! And our dog Rigby loved her on their walks together! I definitely will be using Sydney again in the future!!!”

About: I have had dogs of my own since I was 9 years old. I LOVE dogs--especially small ones! I have trained all of my dogs. I board friends' dogs in my home all the time, and am now excited to move into boarding strangers' dogs here on Rover! I work full-time, a mix of in-office and at home. I work from home on Thursdays and have flexibility on Fridays, so it works best for me to be able to provide boarding on long weekends (Thursday-Sunday). I am happy to provide your pet with seamless care and match what they are used to in your home. I have a large yard and a quiet neighborhood. My home has many rooms and I have some gates so that I can separate pets if needed. I also have a puppy play pen for smaller/younger pups who need their own space.

“Melainie is so great with our chihuahua mix, Bowser. Bowser is a great judge of character and is very selective with who he will allow to rub his belly and he loved Melainie the second he met her!”

“Jessica is amazing! Our dog Gabby stayed with her during the day and they got to enjoy nice walks, go to the park and get lots of play time. Jessica kept us updated during the day and sent us lots of cute pictures. Gabby is excited to see her again!”

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs my whole life and have had the honor of caring for others pets as well! I have cared for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, horses, and birds! I am currently in school and find myself with a lot of free time! I enjoy going for walks and playing with my cat that lives with me! I live in a gated community with a fenced in dog yard! I know lots of great walking areas to bring your dogs too for a little fun adventure!

“Mary is great with our 10 month old Brittany! I’m impressed with her enthusiasm and she is a quick learner of his routines! She is helping us work on training which is so helpful. I would highly recommend Mary!”

About: Dogs are my kind of people, loyal, silly, soulful, and always ready for a good walk or cuddle. I bring genuine enthusiasm to every visit, whether it’s tossing a tennis ball for the fifth time or patiently encouraging a shy pup to come out of their shell. Because I truly love dogs, I pay close attention to their routines, moods, and energy levels. Whether it’s a rambunctious retriever or a slow-strolling senior, I adapt my care to what makes them happiest and healthiest. Your dog isn’t just a client they become part of my daily joy. Pet care blends seamlessly into my daily rhythm, acting as gentle checkpoints that anchor my routine. Feeding, cleaning, and playtime create consistency, while weekly tasks like grooming or toy rotation keep things fresh. These moments build a quiet connection between me and my pet and often serve as welcome pauses in a busy day. For happy, healthy pets at home, stick to consistent routines, clean litter boxes and feeding schedules for cats, daily walks and playtime for dogs. Offer cozy spaces, rotate toys, and check their health regularly. A bit of structure and love goes a long way for any furry friend.
