“Could not be happier that we found Barber on this site. She was so caring and gentle as our new girl got used to her and so helpful with tips as it was our first time using a service. Charlotte is so excited to see her and could not recommend her more.”
“Victoria is an AMAZING dog walker!!! Would highly recommend you booking with her if you have a dog with anxiety. Super patient, excellent communication, and extremely caring!”
“Emi was so wonderful! I requested she help care for my sweet doggy dude, Hei Hei, multiple times over a holiday weekend. She went above and beyond that. Hei Hei is deaf and reactive. Emi learned the hand signals used to communicate with Hei Hei and asked about his triggers. She sent updates and adorable pictures of my sweet boy on every walk. Emi showed great care for Hei Hei and when he wasn't eating much over the weekend she offered him a healthy (approved) alternative so he wouldn't be hungry. Hei Hei and I are very grateful for her caring for him!”
About: I'm currently finishing my senior year of college, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I enjoy spending quality time with animals, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m always attentive to each pet’s needs and can easily separate or crate pets if needed. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities, and I strive to provide a clean, calm, and loving environment at all times. I’ve cared for dogs of all personalities since I was 10. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, and I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique quirks. While I don’t offer training, I always treat pets with patience, love, and respect.
“Emily was a pleasure to work with! She was patient and gentle with my dog, who has never had a walker and was initially very scared. My dog visibly gained confidence as they went on more walks, as Emily took the extra time and effort to get her comfortable. I would recommend her anywhere.”
“Dinira was absolutely wonderful with our big puppy, Atlas!! During our meet and greet she was kind and Atlas loved her right away. It’s always anxiety provoking to leave your 80 pound puppy with a new face - but Dinira put us right at ease. She took Atlas for a walk, played with him, and sent lots of pictures!! She was truly the best.”
About: I am a research technician at Atrium Health who is new to the area, and I would love to take care of your dog! I have 15+ years of experience and lots of love to give. Growing up with dogs my whole life, my new place feels empty without a furry friend. I hope to make many memories in my new city with your pup 🐶 I will monitor your dog 24/7 when we’re outside, and always make sure they are on a leash. I don’t require a crate, but can use one upon your request. I have a dog-proofed home with no other animals or kids. I have experience with senior dogs. I am available for boarding all day. I often work from home, but even if I do go in to work, I live very close to my office and will stop home frequently to take your dog out, go on walks, and play. I do not have any other pets in my house. I keep my space tidy and organized. I have an open yard and the perfect neighborhood for walks.
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs since I was 14, and I absolutely love it. Friends and neighbors trust me to feed, play with, and love their pets like my own (and I’m always asked back!). I have experience with pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I work remotely with a flexible schedule and hours, allowing me to be readily available for pet sitting. I’m currently a college student based in Bethesda through August 8th. For dog care, I love going on plenty of walks and, depending on client preferences, I also provide extra playtime in a fenced yard or at a nearby dog park. When caring for cats, I make sure to engage them with their favorite toys and give them plenty of affection and attention in the comfort of their home.
About: I worked in the vet field for 5 years doing anything you can think of! I have lots of experience administering medication both orally and by injection.

My boyfriend, Jose, and I have 2 playful pitbull girls that always love to make new friends and we have a huge fenced in yard for them to be safe and have fun in the sun!

About: I’ve had at least one family pet my entire life ranging from dogs to bunnies, and have assisted with all aspects of care including feeding, walking and cleaning. I have housesat for family and friends up to a week in length and up to 4 dogs. I promise to treat all pets as if they were my own! I’m currently working part time so I am very free and open to taking care of all the cute pets! For drop-in’s I can do any meal time! For all services I offer I understand and am fully capable of following exact instructions and will cater to whatever age/specific needs a pet has.
About: I have always had dogs growing up, and if I could own 40 dogs, I would. I have grown up walking and playing with all of the dogs in my neighborhood, and I would frequently house sit and dog sit for my grandparents when they would travel. When I was 13, I trained my dog to do special tricks, including shake, spin, stay, sit pretty, circus, dog, roll over, play dead, and I even trained her to be in our local musical Annie, as Sandy. I take her hiking frequently, because I love the outdoors just as much as she does. I love dogs more than anything on this Earth and I truly believe every dog deserves the love attention and spoiling I have to offer. I have also worked with older dogs that require specific medication and have disabilities. I believe no matter the age, every dog is a puppy, and playing with them always brings out my inner child. i’m currently working part time, so I have lots of time to hang out with puppies! I would like to spend as much time as I can with dogs, because I also do a lot of of my work online, so I could stay with dogs even longer. I will care for your pet and whatever way fits your home and your pets lifestyle. I am happy to adjust to how you handle potty, enrichment activities, cleanup, etc.
“Dave was great and was very accommodating with my last-minute request. My dog is pretty shy with new people and he managed to get her to go out (that’s a big deal). I really appreciated Dave’s quick responses and the pictures! I will definitely reach out to him in the future.”

“I highly recommend Amaya W. as a dog walker. She has taken care of my miniature Yorkie Poodle, Nemo, on multiple occasions, and he absolutely adores her. From the very beginning, she showed genuine care and a calm, loving presence that Nemo immediately responded to. It’s clear she understands how to handle dogs with patience and kindness. I always feel at ease knowing Nemo is in her care. He comes back happy, relaxed, and well exercised every time. She is responsible and has a natural connection with animals. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Amaya W. is the one.”
