We are a small group of animal lovers providing a common service in an uncommon way. Since 2006 we've been putting on our rain pants one leg at a time just like employees of any other D.C. dog walking agency - except that we aren't simply employees. As co-owners we are committed to providing our clients with the best possible care for their pets, with a premium on communication and flexibility.
