“Karen was very sweet with my dog and made sure he had some play time with his walks. She was great about staying in touch with me and sharing updates from her visits.”
“Michael does a great job with our 11 month old dog, Sherbert, taking him for a quick bathroom break and walk twice a day, 1 day per week while we're at work. Michael practices some of the commands we regularly do with Sherbert, helping to reinforce our training efforts, and also plays games with Sherbert to give him some much needed mental exercise! We appreciate Michael's dependability, thorough summaries, and attention to detail (he took notes during our meet and greet!). We highly recommend Michael as a dogwalker!”
About: I work full time remotely. I love pets and have grown up with various kinds of pets my whole life. Im very comfortable with them and love to cater to them. I am a responsible professional that also uses this app for my beloved dog and know how it feels to want your pet to be safe and happy while in the care of someone else. I work through the week but have weekends available to take care of your pet while away. I too have a little chihuahua mix that needs attention when I’m away. I understand loving your fur friend but having other obligations and being in need of someone to tend to them. My little pooch is friendly and loves other dogs. He totally vaccinated and has his rabies shots as well. I will have your dog in doors however will take them for walk to get fresh air at your request. I live in pet friendly apartment accommodation with dog parks throughout it.
“We did a trial walk together with my dog who is a little on the anxious side. Azucena has a very calming demeanor and our dog quickly became comfortable with her!! We are looking forward to utilizing Azucena’s services!”
About: I was raised within a big family of dog lovers and have since expanded my love to cats (so much so that I now have my own cat). I was taught from an early age that pets aren’t just animals – they are family, a lifetime commitment, honor and privilege. Whether it’s caring for my family’s senior, blind and diabetic pug, my neighbor’s rambunctious puppy or my best friend’s anxious cat, I treat all fur babies like my own family. Additionally, I also work in the arts. I find that my deep love for the arts also influences my style of pet and home care. With me, it’s a guarantee your precious cargo will be treated like family and like the unique piece of art that they are. I’m a freelancer in the arts and work from contract to contract. The summer months are significantly slower than the rest of the year, so I have lots of extra time between May and August to dedicate to the care of your dog, cat or home! Whatever parameters you set for the care of your pet and home, I will always follow to the letter. Give me as much or as little instruction as you see fit and I will make your best case scenario a reality. I am also always willing to send you as many pictures, videos or texts as you wish while you are away. I know and greatly value how much these tidbits can help with peace of mind.
About: -A Lifetime of Love, Rescue & Thoughtful Pet Care 🐾- For me, caring for animals has always been more than a responsibility. It’s about understanding their personalities, respecting their routines, and making them feel loved and at home. With 20 years of hands-on experience, my journey began in Germany, where I volunteered walking and fostering dogs. Later, in Bahrain, I became involved in animal rescue. Today, my family includes four wonderful rescue cats from the Middle East, each with their own unique story. I’ve cared for everything from tiny 5-week-old kittens and energetic puppies to senior companions requiring specialized attention. -Experienced, Attentive & Individualized Care- My beloved dog was with me from 2008 to 2024. During his senior years, I gained valuable experience administering medication, assisting with physical therapy, and adapting routines to his changing needs. -A Little Home Away From Home 🌿- My home offers a spacious backyard for playtime and a cozy sunroom for safely enjoying the sunshine. With Rock Creek Park and Woodside Forest nearby, I can offer anything from gentle strolls to longer woodland adventures, always tailored to your dog’s needs and energy levels. I believe exceptional pet care lies in the little details. I’m happy to provide regular photos and updates throughout your pet’s stay, so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind. Above all, I love working with pet parents who value thoughtful, attentive care as much as I do. Every animal deserves to feel safe, understood, and cherished. I currently work remotely for a consulting and advisory firm, which gives me the flexibility to incorporate pet care naturally into my daily routine. Working from home means I’m around throughout much of the day to provide companionship, attention, and regular breaks. My weekends are generally very flexible, allowing plenty of time for longer walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply enjoying a relaxed day together. I believe pets thrive on consistency, so I’m happy to accommodate their usual feeding schedules, walks, medication, and daily routines to make their stay as comfortable and familiar as possible. A Safe, Peaceful & Welcoming Home 🏡 I live in a spacious single-family home in a quiet residential neighborhood, offering a calm and comfortable environment for your companion. The house features a generous backyard with plenty of room for supervised outdoor play, exploration, and fresh air, as well as a lovely sunroom where pets can safely relax and enjoy the sunshine. For additional peace of mind, my home is equipped with security cameras in the main living areas, providing an extra layer of household security. I take a thoughtful, individualized approach to pet care, always respecting each animal’s personality, comfort level, and established routines. Whether your pet enjoys an active day outdoors or prefers a peaceful afternoon indoors, their safety and well-being are always my priorities. I’m also happy to share regular photos and updates, so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. 🐾
“I will book with Nailah 10 times out of 10. She is consistent with communication, very kind and caring, and professional. Nailah walks my dog about 6-8 times a month. I know Ivy loves the walks!”
About: I’m an experienced pet owner of cats, dogs, seniors pets, high medical need pets, and just needy in general pets. I am especially enthusiastic about dog walking, and am comfortable with dogs of all shapes and sizes (including large dogs). I have experiencing with medicating dogs and cats, and am comfortable with pets that need an extra close eye due to age or illness. I work from home and am available for daily walks, drop in visits, feeding, medicating, and giving lots of love and attention all day every day. I am available for pet sitting in your home - I unfortunately cannot fit any more paws, tails, or snouts into my house at the moment.
“Denisse has been fantastic with our older dog! Very responsive and super accommodating. Our 50lb dog needs to be carried up/down the stairs and she handles that without issue and provides plenty of pictures, updates, and even gives our dog cookies.”
About: I have taken care of a range of dogs and cats over many years. Previously I have given long walks on trails, short walks around the neighborhood, managed medication during meals, and looked after multiple pets in a household. I also used to have a Labrador of my own. I can currently care for dogs and cats basically all day and everyday, so I can fit into whatever your usual or desired schedule for your pet is. My care often varies as different pets tend to need different needs such as tiring out a high energy dog or keeping calm but attentive to anxious pets. I am neat and desire to keep any space I enter as clean as possible.
“I moved to dc a month ago and Edgar has been a great help for me & my puppy! My puppy clicked with him during our initial meeting and he definitely enjoys his midday walks with Edgar & his dog pal :) Edgar sends pictures, communicates any concerns and has done a great job! I look forward to working with him in the future.”
About: 4 years of hands-on experience at a pet hospital + a lifetime of loving dogs and cats. I’m calm, confident, and trained to notice the little things—perfect for puppies, kittens, seniors, and pets with special needs. I'll have plenty of time to take care of your baby!! My schedule is pretty flexible with advance notice. Reach out to me and let's plan something! I care for your pets exactly the way you do.

About: Hi there! I'm Allie. I work for a local animal rescue and love animals of all kinds, especially my two dogs, two cats, turtles, and fish. I love to be exercising and outdoors. As you'll see from my photos, I seriously love and respect all animals. I've taken care of dogs for many years and love them as if they were my own. I'm a helicopter mom and am happy to send photos and updates as often as you want. I also foster dogs and volunteer in a shelter medical clinic, assisting with spays, neuters, and other surgeries. I have worked with exotic animals in previous jobs, everything from monkeys to exotic amphibians to big aquarium systems. Two of my pets have special needs and I am comfortable with everything from administering medications, including subcutaneous fluids and injections, to bottle-feeding puppies and kittens. My favorite thing about taking care of pets is providing pet parents the knowledge that their family member is being taken care of just as if they were home and according to their unique needs. Need me to cook dinner for your dog? Do you have a cat who will only drink out of a spray bottle? A free-roaming bearded dragon who likes to snuggle? No worries, I’ve got you. I want you to have peace of mind and I don’t want you to worry for a minute if your pet is happy and loved! I am happy to discuss with you any needs that your dog or cat may have and any specifics of how I can best care for them. I love taking dogs for walks (or runs!) and am always up for playing games or snuggles. I would love to meet you and your pet! *If you have more than 3 pets, please contact me for a discounted rate. I’m happy to provide reasonable care for small animals (reptiles, rodents, etc) for no additional fee when caring for a cat or a dog. Please note that house-sitting bookings include being present for morning and evening meals, a mid-day drop-in, and an overnight stay. Please let me know if your pet needs more frequent or constant care and we can arrange an appropriate rate. I want your pet to get exactly what they need! I follow your requests to the letter! I would like to know whether your pets are allowed on the furniture, what treats they can have, what activities they enjoy, etc. I do not host pets in my own home at this time. Please let me know about any alarm systems or internal or external cameras so I can make sure to protect your home to your preferences.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’m very pleased with the dog-walking services! Jonathan was very helpful with making sure my dog got the care, attention, and exercise she needed. It was good to see my pup come back tired and ready to lay down. I appreciate the time and effort put into making sure she was well cared for. Very friendly and easy to talk to and did more than I expected. As my first time using any dog walking service, I am well pleased. I would definitely recommend his service to other pet owners looking for help with their dogs!
Tyler Jade was fantastic! She was dependable, attentive, and made the entire experience easy and stress free. I really appreciated her care and flexibility, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their furry family member!
Jack has taken great care of our two dogs. He came to our house to do a meet and greet, followed all our instructions, and made sure our dogs got a good walk while we were gone all day. He has walked them multiple times and has been very dependable and communicative.
Maya! Thank you so much! Envy was incredibly happy upon meeting Maya and easily welcomed her warm personality. I received qualitative updates in each Rover card with adorable photos to pair! Maya was receptive to all procedures necessary to provide care to my pup and will absolutely use again!
Mary Beth does an amazing job with our quirky one-eyed chihuahua Polly! She also was able to help us out with our foster dog Lizzie, who was very shy at first. We rest easy knowing our pups have had a good exercise break in their day while we are at the office!
Ajamu has been wonderful with my two pups, Poli and Bruno! 🐾 I feel completely comfortable having him come work with and walk them. He is incredibly patient, calm, and thoughtful in the way he teache and not just the dogs, but us as owners too! It really means a lot to have someone I trust who genuinely takes the time to understand and work with them. We’re so grateful to have found him!
My pup Brandice is sometimes a little hesitant around new people but during the meet and greet with Kayla she ran right up to her for pets. Kayla's experience with reactive dogs put me at ease knowing she would be able to handle some of Brandice's quirks. I appreciated the updates and photos that were sent after each walk. I would totally recommend her to anyone in the area for drop-in's and walks and will definitely book again in the future!
Naomi did a fantastic job taking great care of our three rambunctious dogs while we were away on vacation. Walking them twice daily, sending photos on daily walks, and checking in. It was a relief to see them so happy and well cared for while we were away. Naomi was very kind and gentle with our dogs even though they have a tendency to pull and she kept us updated thru text messages. Since we arrived back home our dogs have been sitting in the window looking for Naomi most especially around the normal times she would arrive. I would not hesitate to have Naomi care for our pups again. Very consistent and reliable, Thank you Naomi for your great care and kindness!
