Dogwalker. Hi, we are looking for a dog walker to walk our beautiful (almost) two year old golden retriever around lunch time (12:30pm/1pm) for 40 mins or so. Start date: May 28. Thanks.

Check out Sophie's Dog Walking & Pet Care https://www.sophiesdogwalking.net/. Her and her team are fantastic, and so good with all dogs!

Our story

I’ve grown up with dogs since before I could crawl. There were always at least two—if not three—in my home thanks to my mom’s love of dogs. In fact, long before dog-walking services were commonplace, my mom started her own pet care business in NW Indiana, where I grew up. I watched as she became a much-valued member of the community as people worked longer hours and needed help with their furry friends. And nearly 20 years later, she’s still out there walking! Needless to say, when I moved to D.C. in 2015, she was an inspiration. I came to the city looking for new opportunities and was living in my aunt’s basement in Foxhall Village. A neighbor needed help with her dog and before I knew it I was walking five, then ten—I became so busy several years ago that I was able to quit my retail job. I was truly embraced by the NW DC community and feel so honored that my clients trusted me with their pets and their homes. Even with the dawn of the dog-walking apps, I found myself very busy with a maxed-out schedule. I like to think this is because people prefer to form a bond with a person they can fully trust to care for their pet, rather than taking a chance with a stranger from an app. In 2022, my husband and I moved to Richmond, and we absolutely love this city. We now live in the Three Chopt neighborhood, and serve neighborhoods in the West End from The Fan to Tuckahoe. I cannot wait to meet you and your dog!
