Help please -- I need a new dog walker

[Anonymous]

I just found out today that my adored dog walker is retiring to care for her sick parent. I need to quickly find a new dog walker that I can trust (Had one once that I discovered was barely even taking the dog outside). Recommendations in Bethesda, Rockville and Potomac are much appreciated!! Thanks and happy holidays!

Have you contacted Fetch? They are a dog walking service and I've had two wonderful walkers for our dog. They have great people working for them who really love dogs. We are in Silver Spring, but I think they serve the larger area.

This is the PP. Here is the link for Fetch and it looks like they do serve Bethesda, parts of Rockville.

Thanks PP. They have a Fetch location in Bethesda that serves my area so this might work. Anyone else? Would love to find a 1-person shop vs a large service but am open to suggestions.

DogCentric is a medium-sized service where the same walker is assigned to your area (and your dog) each day, but with the benefit of having back-ups in case your walker is sick or on vacation. They have tons of experience working with rescues too and have been a huge part of helping our own rescue dog become a calm, happy member of our family. www.dogcentric.com

Happy hounds, they were the service that my dog walker used when she couldn't walk her own dog and now that she moved away, I have used them for a while. They are great and my dog has always had the same person.

Pet and Home Care (formerly called "A Walk While You're Out") is good.
