Your Dogs Will Love Us!

Hey, fellow dog lovers! Did you know that D.C. is not just for politicians and monuments? It’s a wonderful city for our furry friends too! Especially in upper NW DC where we have an abundance of trails and green spaces to explore one paw at at a time.

At Patriotic Paws Dog Walking, we would love to take your dogs out for a stroll. We live for wagging tails, wet noses, and endless dog walk adventures. Our dedicated team of dog enthusiasts is here to make sure your beloved pups get the exercise, love, and attention they deserve, right in the heart of our beautiful capital city.

We offer:

✅ Experienced and Caring Handlers: Our team is not just passionate about dogs; we’re experienced professionals who ensure your pets are safe, happy, and comfortable during every walk. Our dog walkers focus on the dogs under their care, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they need.
✅ Customized Walks: We understand that every dog is unique. That’s why we tailor our walks to match your dog’s energy level, temperament, and preferences.
✅ Report Cards: Miss your pup during the day? We’ll send you adorable photo updates, so you can see the fun they’re having in real-time!
✅ Availability and Reliability: Dog owners usually think a solo walker is best but forget that solo walkers are human and need sick and personal days off too. When you go with a company you are hiring the company, not an individual. Your dog walkers will work as a team. If your regular walkers needs a shift off there will be a backup to step in. We train all of our walkers up on each dog so that your primary walker has support.
✅ Flexibility for Your Pet’s Needs: Dogs, much like humans, have varying needs and temperaments. Some pets might need a little extra time outdoors, while others prefer shorter walks. By scheduling in blocks, we can adjust the duration of the walk to best suit your pet’s individual requirements on that particular day.

Why choose us?

When I moved to the Palisades I had trouble finding a reliable dog walker for my dog Bella. So I saw a need for a trusted dog walking company and bought an existing company.

At Patriotic Paws Dog Walking (PPDW) we are dog people, but we are more than that. Pet parents choose us over other walkers because of our commitment to high quality care, knowledge, experience, and our corporate values. Kim is fear free certified, pet CPR and first aid certified, and has completed the Karen Pryor Foundations in Dog Training.  What does this mean for you?

One time we arrived to a dog walk to find the toy sized dog eating something toxic. We have the knowledge to take the proper steps in an emergency such as this.  Another time a new dog was happy to meet us during the meet and greet with the owners home but when the owners were not present the dog was fearful. Our knowledge and actions kept the dog from turning the fear into aggression.

We are a small, woman-owned, local business and were hit hard by the pandemic. We are grateful for all of our clients who stuck with us over this difficult time and for those new clients who keep us going!

Our Values:

✅ Customer Satisfaction: Striving for customer satisfaction by going above and beyond expectations, ensuring both the human clients and their dogs are happy with the services provided.
✅ Compassion and Care: Demonstrating genuine love and concern for the dogs’ welfare, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and safe during every walk and interaction.
✅ Community: Engaging with and giving back to the local community, such as supporting animal shelters, neighborhood organizations, or schools.
✅ Reliability: Being consistent and dependable in providing scheduled services, allowing clients to trust the company with their pets and their homes.
✅ Safety and Education: Prioritizing the safety of both the dogs and the dog walkers. Implementing strict safety protocols, using secure leashes and harnesses, and being knowledgeable about dog behavior to prevent accidents or conflicts.
