Dog Walking DC is the only dog walking service I've used, and I am very pleased with it…read more COST: The cost for my dog is $15 per half an hour. I believe my walker sometimes lengthens the time of the walk in order to pick up another dog, which is a bonus! You pay the bill monthly, and the walker marks a chart in your home every day so you know she was there. SERVICE: My walker, Andrea, is friendly and reliable. My dog loves her, and she is very good with him. I was a little worried about entrusting a stranger with keys to my home, but upon meeting JJ (the owner) and Andrea, my fears were immediately allayed. One of the great benefits of this service is that JJ gives helpful advice on animal behavior. My dog is challenging to walk, and JJ advised switching to a different harness and using certain training techniques to help him increase his confidence. Our walker also uses these techniques, so he gets consistent training. The advice and the training was spot on, and my dog's behavior has noticeably improved. I am so grateful to have walkers who are interested in creating a happy and healthy life for my dog, not just dragging him once around the block. Having a reliable dog walker who really cares about my dog means the difference between going to work feeling guilty and worried about leaving my dog and going to work confident that my dog is well-cared for. That is incredibly valuable to me, and I recommend this service to any pet owner. NOTE: Dog Walking DC also does pet boarding, but I have never used that service.

By big-city standards, the price is certainly right too. Moreover, Dog Walking DC also boards dogs when you're travelling. On our last trip, we sent our dog to JJ's rather than the nearby kennel, and she came back freshly bathed and brushed, and incredibly happy-- it made us feel like we'd almost been neglectful dog-owners ourselves! Because JJ keeps the dogs at her house, there isn't always room for boarding if you don't ask ahead of time (and she has cats, which make some dogs manic), but we will definitely go to her with all of our boarding needs whenever we can.

I have been using Wagabout since February when I started working 30 minutes from home and knew my…read morelittle poodle needed some TLC and a short walk in the middle of the day. Kelly leaves a little note every day with the time she arrived and what they did during her 15 minute visit. She is also very understanding and accommodating when I need him walked longer (30 minutes) or at a different time of day. In order to not be charged for a cancelled visit, you need to provide at least 24 hours notice, which is sometimes impossible because, hey, life happens. I understand they have a schedule to work around, but I wish there were 1 or 2 "freebies" for cancelling with less than 24 hours notice (or at least only charge half for 12 hours notice). That being said, I know my dog is in great hands while I am at work, which is extremely comforting. I would recommend Wagabout to anyone who is looking for a dog walker in Bethesda or surrounding areas!

UnderDogs has been wonderful for our Mt. Pleasant, DC family. Setting up a consultation was easy to…read moreschedule and Sam got us set up in the system (which is very user-friendly!) quickly. The operation has a distinct small-business feel with competitive rates for the neighborhood. There are no hidden fees and you can cancel/schedule afternoon walks as late as the morning of. You can join even if you just need the occasional walk, or if you need walks every day. We have not had any cancellations or scheduling difficulties, which is such a relief after many last minute cancellations with Wag before we started with UnderDogs. They have been communicative and understanding through COVID-19 and give us the opportunity to pay our walker directly even if we aren't using their services. Our walker has been Kwame - while we've only met him once, our dog clearly absolutely loves him. The only downside is that, unlike Wag or other more app-based services, there's no way of knowing remotely exactly when the dog is picked up and dropped off. However, since we have no concerns about reliability of the company or walker, it has not been an issue.

They have the same regular walker everyday, and when she comes over, our dogs are so excited to see her. The whole team is wonderful to work with. Last minute changes? No problem. Home sick and need to text the morning of? Great. I also love their boarding process. It's so nice to know your dogs are going to stay at someone's home and not boarded at some facility. When our dogs go to "Uncle Greg's", they hop right up on the couch and make themselves at home. I desperately wish they serviced our new area. Could not recommend them enough!

When he comes back from a walk with community happy dogs he's exhausted - - which is a very difficult thing to do with an Australian cattle dog. Not every dog is gonna like this kind of activity. But Tom takes the dogs on a 3 mile walk and has them move at pace. The dogs are mentally stimulated by having to navigate in a pack. What I am astounded by is how well they can get a group of dogs to be behave--total focus on the walker. I really do think that given a choice my dog would go live with Tom. He leaps off his bed to be leashed up and get in the truck.

I spent ages combing through all the various services and Rovers in my area, and I'm SO glad I finally found Baby Got Bark. Claire was incredibly responsive when I sent the initial interest email, and she sent our walker, Jules, out to meet us the next week. We knew it was true love when Jules walked in and said "That dog is a HYENA and hyenas are my favorite animal". Most people call her a tiger, but she is clearly a hyena. Jules has come to walk my pup three days a week for the past few months, and we couldn't be happier. Based on the photos Jules sends after every walk, it is very clear that Suki has a new best friend. Jules is quick to send an update after each walk, and is very responsive to communication in the Portal - even for unrelated tasks I forgot in the morning rush, like taking the blanket off the bed so Suki can't destroy it, as she is prone to do... Claire accepts my walk requests immediately, and the price is lower than anything else I was considering. We're so relieved to know Suki is taken care of and happy while we're at work. We love Baby Got Bark, and will be customers for many many years.
