Dog Walking Woodley Park

“Salma responded to my short-notice request quickly, which I greatly appreciated as it was for only a few days of dog-walking. I'd had some surgery on my leg and it was difficult to walk for the first few days. Salma came three times daily and was very kind and patient with my elderly dog. I would not hesitate to hire her again.”

“Kayla was communicative and informative throughout my time away. I appreciated it because it allowed me to rest assured he was being properly cared for and was in very capable hands. I wish look forward to Kayla caring for Balthazar (who is very stubborn) again.”

About: I've taken care of elderly dogs and cats that need daily medications and frequent potty breaks, along with puppies and kittens with boundless energy requiring multiple walks a day or a lot of play time! I have specifically worked with blind dogs and dogs and cats requiring specialized diets for kidney disease. Dogs and cats are amazing companions and deserve nothing but the best care. I have availability all day on Saturdays, Sundays, and Thursdays. I’m also free before 1 PM on Wednesdays. I’m less flexible on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays, but feel free to ask for availability on these days as well! As someone with many years of pet sitting experience, I’m very attuned to all types of fur baby personalities. Whether your pet is shy or outgoing, I will read their social cues and adjust my care as necessary.

About: I have been passionately caring for dogs since high school, gaining hands in experience with pups of all breeds, sizes and temperaments. Having had multiple family dogs has made me comfortable and taught me foundations for compassionate pet care. In college I completed service dog training from puppies to graduation! I am equipped with higher leveled handling skills, deep patience, and the ability to manage complex behavioral needs, reactivity, or high-energy dogs. Whether your dog requires structured behavioral reinforcement, gentle senior care, or just a fun, safe, and reliable companion while you’re away, I am completely comfortable adapting to their unique needs. I treat every dog with the same dedication and professional care as a working dog, while making sure they get all the love and belly rubs of a family pet. I am currently working part-time remotely so my schedule stays pretty flexible. There are certain evenings that I would be unavailable for a different job, but will be blocked out prior. When caring for dogs, you can expect a calm, structured and highly attentive approach tailored specifically to your dogs, age, energy and temperament. Whether your pup thrives on active exercise or needs gentle, low stress, companionship, I prioritize safety, clear boundaries and positive reinforcement during every interaction my background and service dog training means I naturally reinforced leash manners, provide mental enrichment and remain hyper attentive to dog body language to ensure a secure stress-free experience after every visit or stay you will receive a detailed update covering exercise, bathroom, habits, and high-quality photos showing your dog, happy and comfortable For feline clients, my care centers entirely on patient routine and respecting their individual comfort levels. I always let each cat set the pace offering lively playtime with Juan toys for social kitties or quiet, not intrusive companionship for those who are shy or cautious, having managed delicate environmental transitions, and introductions. I focus on minimizing stress, maintaining feeding and lit routine, routines and closely observing subtle shifts in behavior or appetite. You can rely on consistent detail check-in with daily photos, so you have complete peace of mind that your cat unique needs and boundaries are fully honored while you are away.

“Good communication and attention. Definitely Rolo will walk again with Antonella”

“Ian was a pleasure to work with. He was punctual two times a day for 3 weeks. The dogs loved him, and he really exercised them for 30 minutes. He also helped me with mail, etc., as I am home bound recovering from a fall. I cannot recommend him more highly.”

About: I love dogs and cats, and miss my own pets as I’m away from home. So I would love to help take care of your pets when you need an extra hand! My availability is during weekends for drop-ins/walks, but can be flexible for days. I can’t wait to hear more about your pet, just reach out! I work full-time, so I am mostly free on weekends. That can be any time on the weekend, and if needed, can try for weekdays after work. For drop-ins, I will play with your pets and brush them if they enjoy that! And for dogs, would love them to take them for a stroll so we can both get our steps in!

“Caden did an amazing job during all the summer time with weekly walks with my Benny, reliable and trustworthy. Sometimes on my request, because of the rain he was willing to change the schedule time to avoid benny being outside during rainstorm. I highly recommend!”

About: I've had dogs since I was about 14 years of age, from tiny terriers to large labradors. I've also been surrounded by some of the loveliest (and skittish!) cats, learning to love them like my own. I work only weekend nights, which is when my partner is available. Even then, I'm never more than a few minutes walk away from home in case of an emergency. Taking care of your fur baby is always top priority! I'm always home, and would never abandon a pet. I take my current dog everywhere I possibly can, and in the rare chance I have to leave, my dog is crated or isolated in a different room. We also have access to an enclosed patio.

“William took amazing care of our 2 older dogs while we were out of town for a week. We got many updates and pictures every day and could tell they were being very well cared for. He even took time to hang out with them at the house and give them extra love in between walks. This was one of our best dog sitters in recent memory and we will definitely hire again!!”

“Alina was always so flexible with me and great with my dog! I felt very comfortable every time she took him on a walk. She was so kind and great to work with!”

Leah B.

“Kristin has been amazing with our dog Wrigley! She has been incredibly professional and communicative, always responding quickly and letting us know in advance of any schedule changes. I highly recommend Kristin!”

About: I love long walks and would love to bring your active pets along with me! I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was young. I'm currently in grad school and would love to spend my weekends studying and walking with your pets! I am typically available Fridays-Mondays from 6am-10pm. I live in a large apartment building with many comfy couches and blankets for your pets to relax on. I will watch your pet closely to ensure that they stay happy and safe.

“Shela has been absolutely wonderful with our dog! He is very people shy and Shela allowed him to go at his own pace. Now he adores her and loves his walks with her. 10/10 would recommend her.”

“Audrey took such great care of our pups while we were away today. Very responsible, caring, and thoughtful caring for our dogs. We highly recommend Audry!”

About: I grew up in pet household with 3 dogs (golden retriever, podeco, shitzu/terrier mix) and 1 cat, caring for all of them from puppy/kitten age. I have also co-lived with other dog/cat owners, and love taking care of my friends’ pets. I currently do not have a pet at home, but I’m the happiest when surrounded by furry friends 😊🐶🐱 I am a development economics researcher and typically from home on my own schedule, which gives me the flexibility to pet sit most days of the week. I have deep respect and affection for animals, and I am very sensitive to their emotional needs. I believe dogs and cats love deeply and deserve the same back. I am very much aware of how to organize a home to ensure there are no unsafe circumstances that can endanger a pet. I am careful when it comes to feeding times, quantities and food type, as my family pets all had different dietary requirements, including at times preparing fresh vegetables and other foods to complement their kibble.

“Super happy, I was a little nervous about having someone I didn’t know taking care of my fur-baby. Yang Carlos S., was so caring and sweet with my little boy. I also was worried about opening my home to someone and everything is in its place. I am so grateful to Yang Carlos S. for his professional and caring service he provided.”

“Great communication and used the Rover card which showed me notes, updates, and pictures 😀”

About: I have a pet Russian tortoise who requires special care and delicate handling that's more involved than, say, walking and feeding a dog or taking care of a cat. I have a pretty flexible schedule both this summer and into the fall. Pet care can easily be scheduled around my summer job and college classes. I make sure pets, my own and others that I've been responsible for, get plenty of attention. I don't leave them until all their needs have been met

“Thank you!”
