Joe’s Dog Walking

Could not have been happier with the service and the reliability. My dog is a happy one, thanks to Joe and team!

Our dogs love Joe and we appreciate his prompt, courteous, sincere good nature. He is an excellent dog walker and has a likeable and trustworthy manner. We recommend him to anyone.

Joe has been freakishly flexible with my constantly changing schedule, which I appreciate so much. He was willing to work through some of my dog’s issues when she was being weird about a new person taking her out, and also sends a text update every day when the walk is over. For DC you’re also rarely going to find a cheaper option. He’s headed to New Orleans and I’m sure all of his DC dogs will miss him!

Joe is everything you want in a dog walker — prompt, responsible, flexible, and most importantly, someone who truly cares about dogs. He walked our puppy twice a day and updated us after every walk. When our pup was having separation anxiety issues, Joe went out of his way to work with us on solutions and was always willing to accommodate our requests as we worked on ways to ease her anxiety. The personal attention Joe provides to both owners and dogs can’t be beat. We enthusiastically recommend him.

1. My dog, Franny, LOVES him!

I consistently recommend Joe to anyone in the neighborhood looking for a dog walker. We’ve had many changing needs, from vacations to new work schedules, and Joe has always been both completely dependable and flexible. Our pup Harper loves him too – he might be the only person she doesn’t bark at when walking through the door! It’s great to know that she is well taken care of in Joe’s hands.

After several failed attempts to find reliable trustworthy dog walking services I happened upon Joe! He’s been a godsend! He’s been completely reliable, flexible and readily available if I need his services off schedule. Joe truely loves animals and they, him. He always sends me a quick text to let me know how Flannigan’s walk went that day. I know my treasured companion is in excellent hands when Joe comes. He’s responsible in his handling of whatever situation arises and is able to accommodate each let’s needs and temperament. And to top it all off, he’s affordable! Joe comes with my highest recommendation.

If I could give Joe infinity stars I would. He is prompt, helpful, and our dog loves him! We text or email the week of and he is always responsive and amenable to our changing needs. Having gone through two terrible dog walkers in the past, I can with confidence say that Joe is as good as it gets. Absolutely love him and would be lost without him!!!

Joe is always quick to respond, which is great for those of us with hectic and busy lives. More importantly however, he is reliable which puts me at ease when Cooper is waiting for his afternoon walk. As someone who used to be a fellow dogwalker, I unconditionally recommend Joe’s services for your furry friends.

First off, my dog loved Joe, and Joe loved my dog. He also got along great with the cat (which is a plus). Joe was always on time and extremely friendly, and he sincerely cared about our pup. While Joe lives too far away for us to use him now, if we live closer together I’d use Joe again in a heartbeat! Highly recommended.

Joe was the answer to our prayers. Literally. My husband and I had adopted our pup about 4 – 5 months prior and found ourselves in an immediate situation where our schedules did not allow either one of us to get home at least twice a day to walk him. When I spotted Joe walking one of our neighbor’s dogs (his prized possession and an awesome German Shepherd), I immediately new I could trust him. This was a HUGE factor for us. During our initial meet-​up, our pup would not stop licking the heck out of Joe. I was ecstatic that he felt so comfortable with him, as we did. He has this great ease about him and truly looks out for the well-​being of your dog. He is also extremely caring, responsive, and patient. He would get at least 5 texts from my husband and I daily, and indulged (with grace) every one of them. I’m happy to report that the texts have since subsided (I’m sure he’s thrilled!). But that’s a testament to the great dog walker he is. We know he’ll let us know if something’s amiss. He knows our pup as well as we do (for better or worse), and we love that. Obviously, we couldn’t be happier. And neither could our pup! He’s in such a great mood when we get home on days that he’s walked by Joe. Bonus! So, get to it and call Joe up!

Joe came to us by recommendation from a neighbor. Because I used to work from home, I had the opportunity to interact with Joe in our building for months before we actually became a client. When I returned to the office, it was a no-​brainier for me in hiring a dog walker.
Joe is responsible, prompt, and always goes the extra mile. He walks Lucy every day around lunch time. He leaves notes everyday and is very accessible by text message. He is available for night and weekend walks and will even stay with your dog if you go out of town (we abuse our close-​by family for that purpose but love knowing Joe is available if we needed him).
When Joe travels or is out of town (which is not very often), he always has a backup (who is also super nice).
I love the personal service that we receive when working with Joe, plus our dog absolutely adores him. We live in the Logan Circle area and have enthusiastically recommended Joe to several of our neighbors and friends.

I live in the Logan Circle section of DC. I’ve had many dog walkers, both dog walking services and independents, over the past 9 years and none compare to Joe!
He’s extremely reliable, very responsive, trustworthy, very patient with anxious or problem dogs and absolutely loves dogs. If he comes to your house and notices a problem with your pet, he’ll send you a text to let you know (if it’s something immediate) or leave a note (if it’s something minor). He will also administer medicine and other care taking measures if requested. For example, I work about 30 miles away from my home and if I get stuck at the office I can call or text Joe and he’ll willingly go back to provide my dog with another walk.
I’ve been using Joe as my dog walker for about 5 years. I switched to Joe after some dissatisfaction with a highly regarded service. I was a bit concerned about coverage going from a service to an independent dog walker, but my fear was unfounded. If Joe gets sick (which is rarely) or goes out of town, he always had coverage. Plus, unlike many dog walkers, he makes sure that his backup walker has met your dog (and your dog is comfortable with the backup) prior to the coverage to ensure there are no problems.
I’ve also used Joe for overnight pet sitting on numerous occasions and he’s equally wonderful. He’ll send you a text each night telling you how your pet is – which is of great reassurance for we who have dogs that sometimes get anxious.
I’ve also found Joe’s rates to be more reasonable than any other dog walker or dog walking service. Plus, my pet, Jasper, absolutely loved him!
In short, Joe is absolutely terrific and I highly recommend him!
