Book nowI’m Juli. I have been walking dogs for over ten years and as a pet parent I know we all want the best possible care for our pets. As someone with experience with all sizes and many breeds, I understand all dogs require different approaches with the same level of care. Dogs are not just pets, they are family. I hope to be there to lend a hand in taking care of your furry family members.

Best Dog Friendly Neighborhoods in Washington
Foggy Bottom
Foggy Bottom
While the name may elicit a giggle or two, Foggy Bottom is a popular neighborhood for Washington, D.C. dog walkers and a prime location to live or visit with your canine companion. The Capital Crescent Trail is one of nearly 1,600 U.S. trails that are part of the Rails to Trails Conservancy project. This riverside walkway is a great place to take Fido for a stroll. Do some people- and doggy-watching while your furry friend gets some much-needed socialization on this well-used thoroughfare. Follow up your exercise with a snack at one of the dog-friendly restaurants just north of the neighborhood along Pennsylvania Avenue.
Adams Morgan
Adams Morgan
Adams Morgan is a historic neighborhood located just north of the White House and Capitol Hill. While this area is convenient for humans looking to visit the National Zoo or soak up some nightlife, it’s also a popular place to live, play, and dine with your canine companion. Well-maintained streets and parks provide ample walking areas. Hungry hounds can take their pick of dog-friendly restaurants in the Adams Morgan neighborhood. Finally, Walter C. Pierce Community Dog Park is a firm favorite with dog walkers in Washington, D.C. This fenced, off-leash park is the "pawfect" spot for your urban pooch to stretch their legs and for humans to huddle around exchanging political gossip.
Logan Circle
Logan Circle
One of D.C.'s trendiest neighborhoods, Logan Circle lures tourists with bespoke clothiers, gourmet dining, colorful murals, and buzzing pubs. Doggos wandering through this hip district will be tugging on the leash en route to Shaw Dog Park. This spacious park provides two separate areas for large and small pups, but not much else, so don't forget the water and waste bags! For another place to play, be sure to check out S Street Dog Park. This puptastic park comes with all the amenities, including water faucets, doggy obstacle courses, and more. After playing the day away at the dog park, go on a "pup" crawl and sample some of the craft brews on offer at the neighborhood's bars.
Crestwood
Crestwood
Located away from the urban hub of downtown Washington, D.C., the Crestwood neighborhood offers a refreshing contrast to the busy city, with single-family homes and immaculate yards lining the quiet streets. Crestwood's "pupulation" is also well cared for here with a spacious park. Rock Creek Park offers scenic waterways, dense brush, and plenty of boulders, making it the perfect place to snap a selfie with Sparky. Stop by the nature center to grab a checklist of the park's wildlife, then set out for an easy walk along the park's paved trails. A few blocks away is the aptly named Petworth neighborhood, where you'll find a few Fido-friendly cafes and restaurants.
Capitol Hill
Capitol Hill
When you picture Washington, D.C., you most likely envision the Capitol Hill neighborhood. With a host of scenic national parks and museums, Capitol Hill is the perfect spot to spend a pleasant day outdoors bonding with your canine companion. The National Mall, a lush green space bookended by the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument, allows friendly, well-behaved, leashed pets, making this the perfect destination for an afternoon stroll. With more pet-friendly dining options and fun events than you can shake Fido's favorite stick at, Capitol Hill is sure to have something to please both two- and four-legged family members.
