Bethesda Dog Walkers are great! I’ve met several different walkers and each of them have been caring and good with my dogs. Unlike other services, they walk the full amount of time and write very cute updates of the walks.

Dave and his team are fantastic, responsive and caring. Megan is, simply put, outstanding -- patient, professional, loving with our nervous little one. Megan goes above and beyond to make sure he (and we) are comfortable. Megan is a true gem!

I would be lost without the Team at Bethesda Dog Walkers. I know my beloved Larry is well looked after by an amazing group of dog lovers.
He runs to the door when they arrive and poses happily for pictures.

We have used Bethesda Dog Walkers on a number of occasions, primarily to care for our elderly lab with health problems while we were away for periods ranging between 3-4 days to up to one week.  They also looked after our two cats, making sure their food and water bowls were full, kitty litter clean, etc., but our primary focus was our dog. I can't say enough about the loving, dependable, and comprehensive care they provide for him.  We were very hesitant to leave him, but they provided outstanding care -- coming four times a day, from 7 am to 9 p.m., sending reports and photos of each visit, and following the rather detailed instructions we left (food, walks, exercise, medications, etc.) completely.  We are so grateful for their service and loving care they provided for the full period(s) we were away and their rigorous carrying out of the visiting-care schedule and needs required.

Bethesda Dog Walkers has been an absolute lifesaver for our family. We travel frequently and often on short notice, and they were able to step in immediately without missing a beat. Lee came out to the house the same day, took the time to really get to know our dogs, and even walked through their usual route so everything stayed consistent for them.

The communication has been outstanding. The email updates are detailed and actually useful, with a full checklist of each visit so we always know exactly how things went. It gives real peace of mind when we’re away.

What really sets them apart is the level of care. My daughter accidentally left her retainer behind, and they not only found it but went out of their way to FedEx it to us overnight. That kind of attention and follow-through is rare.

Everything about this company is top notch. Reliable, responsive, and genuinely invested in the animals they care for. Couldn’t recommend them more highly.

We have been using Bethesda Dog Walkers since we brought our puppy home 7 months ago and they have been fantastic throughout. Communication is easy through the app and the team is incredibly responsive. Adjusting the schedules is also very easy. Most importantly, they are wonderful with our puppy. And I’m convinced some are pro photographers with the great pics they leave us each day.  I highly recommend the team if you need reliable dog walkers.

I moved to Bethesda and needed a dog walking service that I could trust with my golden doodle to be dependable. Look no further! My pup loves her adventure walks and I love how chill she is afterwards. I needed a trusted partner that I can count on and I truly feel grateful to have found Bethesda Dog Walkers!!! If could give them 6 starts I would!!

I’ve been using Bethesda Dog Walkers for over a year, and they have been consistently dependable, friendly, and responsive. Most importantly, they have taken wonderful care of my dog, Piper. Their professionalism and genuine affection for the dogs they work with give me complete peace of mind. I couldn’t be more pleased with their service and highly recommend them.

We started using Bethesda Dog Walkers this year and are very happy with its service.  Their dog walkers are friendly, reliable, and patient with our pup, who can be stubborn at times, and BDW is flexible and accommodating when we request schedule changes, even if they are last minute.  Very much recommend.

Bethesda Dog Walkers has been wonderful! We hired them a few months ago to take our dog out on the days we are in the office and we have loved them. They are always on time, provide a detailed recap of the walk, and I love the map that shows exactly the route they took that day. Our dog is always very happy to see his walkers and we know he is in good hands.

I am exceptionally picky when it comes to dog walkers as I have a senior beagle who has arthritis and cannot recommend Bethesda Dog Walkers enough. The dog walkers are very kind and gentle with my dog. They show up on time and provide detailed updates. The owner is very flexible with scheduling and responsive. If you're looking for a reliable dog walking service, I would highly recommend Bethesda Dog walkers.

Everyone goes above and beyond as dog-lovers, they have excellent communication and flexibility, and ensure that pets are comfortable, safe, and happy during their walks. I highly recommend their service!

The team is very flexible with scheduling, accommodating changes so long as I give them a day or two notice.  Been a great experience with them so far!

This company is phenomenal. The leadership team is uber-responsive, the scheduling app is incredibly easy to use for quick adjustments, and the staff is genuinely caring. I always leave home without worry because I completely trust them.

They truly listen and adapt to your pet's specific needs. They were amazing at helping me maintain consistency when training my puppy Raya, and they show the utmost love and respect to my old stalwart, Geo. Huge thanks to Nic, Tatyana, Megan, and the rest of the wonderful crew. We love you guys!

We used Bethesda Dog Walkers for three months, after surgery put the main dog walker out of commission. The company is great to deal with and the walkers are amazing. There was never a day when we were without service and our dog loved the walks. She may be disappointed to go back to Dad walks. :)

I had an amazing experience with Dave at Bethesda Dog Walkers.  I couldn't be happier.  We were in town for a birthday party.  I spoke to Dave on the phone and I immediately knew he was the caring conscientious person I was looking  for to watch my dog.  He came to our hotel to do a "meet and greet" with Cooper.  Cooper, who can be timid, instantly became pals with Dave.  Dave knew the right approach and instantly got Cooper to engage.  Dave came back later in the evening and again, no barking, no timid behavior. Dave was in constant communication when it was appropriate. I cannot say enough about this business. They are caring and professional.  You cannot go wrong.

Dave and his team have been outstanding taking care of our two very different dogs.  They cater to exactly what each dogs needs - one older, deaf dog with less energy, and one who has more energy than all of us combined.  They have been invaluable throughout this winter, getting our dog out in the ice and snow, and making sure everyone was taken care of while I was recovering from knee surgery.  Absolutely reliable, absolutely fantastic!

I couldn’t be happier with Bethesda Dog Walkers. I had tried several other dog walking services but had trouble with reliability and consistency. Additionally, my dog is a staffordshire terrier mix shelter adoptee and doesn’t like strangers, which makes him particularly challenging for new walkers. The walkers at Bethesda Dog Walkers are experienced, reliable and friendly. They post detailed daily updates with photos, and my dog is happy and excited to see them when they arrive. I feel lucky to have found them.

Bethesda Dog Walkers are the best! Dave, Lee, Sydney, Fenna, and the rest of the team are so thoughtful, caring and conscientious, and they take such great care of my pup. Reading the detailed visit summaries are a highlight of my day, seeing the sweet photos/videos of my dog warms my heart. Scheduling is easy and they are very accommodating. I highly recommend them!

We just had our puppy walked for the first time and could not be happier with our experience so far— our walker, Megan, made it so easy to feel comfortable and confident trusting Bethesda Dog Walkers with our puppy. She clearly read every note we left, sent us a dozen pictures of our puppy having an absolute blast, and immediately followed up with a summary of her visit. I was nervous about trying a dog walking service but already feel so relieved. Thank you Megan!

I have used Bethesda Dog Walker for years when they had a different name. This is a 5 Star service. They are customer focused. I had an emergency. The owner of the company went to my home, walked Duke, fed him, made sure he had water and checked around for any accidents. This truly is over and above customer service.

Bethesda Dog Walkers did an excellent job taking care of our cat during a recent vacation. Booking was easy, the cat was treated well, and we loved the daily updates from the staff (thanks Gabi, Sarah, Roman, Megan and an extra shout out to Sydney). They will be our go-to for future cat sitting.

We highly recommend Dave and his team at Bethesda Dog Walkers! Our pup absolutely loves our regular dog walker and will run to the door when she hears her name. Dave is always very responsive, reliable, and even supported us when we needed some help outside of his main service offerings. They are amazing and we are so grateful to have such a trusted partner for our pup!

Sarah has been exceptional and our pup gets super excited when we mention her name!

I am so grateful for finding Bethesda dog walkers! They make it easy to keep my dogs happy and exercised while I’m at work! I live jn an apartment complex with multiple buildings but the walker are always so accommodating and find their way to pick up my spare key. One of my dogs is also reactive so I appreciate  the care they take to make sure she doesn’t get in any fights with other dogs. Both of my pups love all of the staff that come by to take them for walks and they always seem happy and taken care of when I get home. A special shout out to Vic and Megan who have gone above and beyond to make sure my pups get their exercise and send me some great action shots and stories of their adventures!

Bethesda Dog Walkers are super attentive to our needs. The walkers pay a lot of attention to our dogs and give detailed updates.  They follow instructions well if I have something in particular I want them to do. And they’re quite flexible when I need to adjust the schedule. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a little assistance in carrying for their dogs.

We have been using Bethesda dog walkers for months now, they come 3 times a week and our 2 dogs wait at the door with unbridled enthusiasm for their arrival. A particular shout out to Xavier Zelaya, one of our most regular weekly walkers, who shows love and patience as our giant black lab tries to play tug of war with his leash at the beginning of every walk.  Thanks for keeping my 2 pups happy on the regular!
