Have been using Bethesda dog walkers for 2 months now for our puppy and are having a great experience. Super responsive, we get immediate notes on how the walk/visit went, and you can tell the walkers truly love what they are doing.

Dave & the team at Bethesda Dog Walkers are fantastic. Always reliable and our puppy loves spending time with them all. Big thanks to Lee, Larissa, Kevin & Megan.

Had an emergency work trip and they were right there with wonderful friendly service! Every dog walker was kind and attentive. Amazing!

I cannot thank Lee, Tatyana, and the whole team enough for the incredible care they give to Bruno and Phoebe! My dogs can be a little on the needy side, but they are endlessly patient, kind, and always go above and beyond to make sure my pups feel comfortable, loved, and happy. They send me photos of my dogs and always keep me updated. It gives me lots of peace of mind to know they are in such caring, reliable hands.

Wonderful service from this team! Great communication from everyone. I appreciated the reports after all of her walks. Highly recommend this team if you need help with walks!

We needed a dog walker for our pup and were kind of in a time crunch,Dave set up a same day meet and greet with our pup and set us up with a schedule that same day :) everyone who has come by to walk our pup has been trustworthy and pleasant but Tatyana and Megan seem to have won our pups heart the most,they also gave super detailed summaries about the visit and Tatyana brought in our Amazon packages,so sweet. We trust this company with our pups wellbeing 100%🙂

Bethesda Dog Walkers is the creme de la creme of dogwalking companies. Under Dave Peterson's leadership, they bring enthusiasm, kindness, and professionalism to every walk and every pet in their care. I appreciate that they pride themselves on quality training of the walkers and high standards throughout the process. Most important, my dogs love their walkers! Cannot recommend them highly enough. A+.

I feel so lucky to have found this company. I have two doodles and one of them is so anxious and reactive that it wasn't easy to find a reliable walker who would be patient with her. Dave (the owner and founder) is very professional, responsive and caring and his team is equally responsible, attentive and gentle with my needy dogs. I liked all of the walkers I've met so far, my dogs especially love Lee. Even my fearful labradoodle gets excited to see him. I can't recommend BDW highly enough. I love how personalized their services are!

We have had a great experience with all of the dog walkers at Bethesda Dog Walkers! All of them go the extra mile to take care of our two dogs. We really appreciate the whole team and we are so lucky to have found this business!

I love having someone from the team reliably arrive to take my dog Ginger for a walk when I’m at work. They share pictures and it’s clear my dog is so happy. I definitely recommend this company!

Dogs love it. They are very flexible if schedules change and easy to deal with.

Very thankful I found Dave and his crew!! My job requires me to work 12+ hours a day months at a time and I needed to find a way to have my dog taken care of at some point during the day. Dave and his team have taken excellent care of Shiloh, who can be occasionally excited when it comes to seeing other dogs on a walk. Shiloh is also a big dog and I initially had concerns about finding the right people to take care of him, but Dave and his team melted those worries away. Shiloh has walked with multiple people from the company at this point and all has gone well. They provide extensive reports of the walk, include a map of the walk, and include photos and videos. Everyone seems very friendly and they really care about the dogs. Overall am highly pleased with BDW and will continue to use them throughout my residence here in Bethesda. I’ve already recommended them to others!

A team of very responsible, dog and owner centric dog walkers! Glad we found them!

Bethesda Dog Walkers has been a great company to work with. They personalize their service and are extremely attentive to our dogs and any questions we have. We couldn’t ask for a better group of people to take care of our pets!

Feel stressed when you travel, work late at the office, or otherwise can't be home to walk your dog? Feel guilty when you're not there and know your dog is just waiting for you to walk through the door? Dread planning a trip knowing you first have to find someone to take care of your dog? Bethesda Dog Walkers is like having your own super-power for all of these woes. Dave and his team are dependable, courteous, and fun to partner with, even when you have unexpected needs. And Megan's reports about each walk are written with flair, sophistication and passion for your dog that a college writing professor would extol. At a time when many services seem to cost more and provide less, this brilliantly conceived and operated company is stunningly good.

Bethesda Dog Walkers are the best! When I gave up my dog walking business, I referred my clients to BDW because I knew they’d be in great hands. Dave and his employees are reliable, great communicators, and you can tell they truly care.

We were so happy to meet Dave and his very competent dog walkers. Now we can’t imagine using anyone else. Their level of care and expertise is outstanding! I look forward to my daily report with pictures and video. I can’t name just one walker bc everyone we have had has been excellent! All of our questions or concerns are met with an immediate response. You won’t regret using Bethesda Dog Walkers!

Bethesda Dog Walkers has been amazing for my two boys! They walk them every day while I’m at work and I always feel completely at ease knowing they’re in such good hands. The walkers are prompt, professional, and genuinely care about the dogs. I love getting daily updates with reviews and pictures...it’s clear how much fun the boys are having. The owner, Dave, goes above and beyond. When there was an issue with my apartment front desk, he personally came through to make sure my dogs were still walked and cared for. That level of dedication is rare and so appreciated. Benjamin and Theodore love all of their walkers, but their tails wag the hardest for Megan and Tatyana. Their smiles say it all, and they have the biggest smiles with those two!!! I can’t recommend Bethesda Dog Walkers enough for anyone looking for reliable, thoughtful, and truly caring service!

Bethesda Dog Walkers is the BEST! All walkers are extremely professional and leave fantastic reviews / photos. We feel very safe leaving our dog in their hands. Truly the best service!

Fantastic service! Dave and team are always reliable and take tremendous care of our dog. Highly recommend!

My Dog Walker Frances is the best. She took care of my first dog Scarlett, who was very difficult with aggressive tendencies like a pro. My current dog, Cody loves her Daily walks.She's completely reliable, professional, and dependable.

We have been working with Bethesda dog walkers for the last few weeks and the service has been great! Dave, the owner, is so responsive and you can tell he cares for the dogs. So far my pup is having a good experience.

All of the dog walkers were prompt and took great care of our pets. We received pictures when they were out on walks

Very reliable and friendly!

Dave and Lee did a great job taking care of our Tobi. He's a good guard dog, which means he doesn't really like strangers, but they were so patient and friendly, he was looking forward to their visits. We've been using this service for years and would never consider another to take care of our pooch.

Bethesda Dog Walkers are the best! Our dog Ollie has a lot of anxiety- Dave and his team were so flexible, put our minds at ease and made sure he was taken care of. They are professional, on time and we love that we get to see pictures of Ollie on walks!

We absolutely love Bethesda Dog Walkers. We are on their recurring walking schedule and our two pups (medium and mini Australian labradoodles) absolutely love their walks. Booking is super convenient and their walkers are really great. I especially love their post-walk summaries! A special shout out to Tatyana whose walk summaries make me smile and laugh out loud - she’s thoughtful of both dogs’ health and wellness, taking special care of them depending on the weather. Thank you Bethesda Dog Walkers. You truly put our mind at ease!

Bethesda Dog Walkers truly goes above and beyond with their customer service and care for your pet. Yesterday was our second walk, and also my dog’s birthday, and I came home to find a thoughtful card and a bag of treats from Lee! It absolutely made my day. This is my dog’s first experience with a walker and he’s having a bit of trepidation. Lee was incredibly kind and patient, helping him feel comfortable every step of the way. I’m so grateful for this amazing team and the peace of mind they provide. Thank you, Lee, for your kindness and care—you’ve made such a difference already!

We have really enjoyed our first month with Bethesda Dog Walkers. It’s so easy to book each week and Dave’s team has been super reliable. As a slightly neurotic dog owner, I feel very comfortable with my dog in their care. Would highly recommend.

Week two and so far they've been great. Dave came out to the house to meet Baker (our rotty) and was great. The video he sent ahead of time was really helpful. Honestly this has been the smoothest experience of all our services moving into our new house. I wish he handled air conditioning repair and USPS mail forwarding too.

Bethesda Dog Walkers are the BEST! My dog Abby loves them and waits eagerly at the front door for her walk.The walkers have been really soldiering on through the current brutal heat wave. So Thanks to Lee, Tatyana, Sarah, Maritza, Nicole, Dave, and all the rest of the BDW crew. I highly recommend their services.

Bethesda Dog walkers are second to none! My family moved to the area recently and was lucky enough to find this gem of a company. Our dogs are large and anxious dogs that need special care and reassurance.. All the dogwalkers in the company have shown them kindness and understanding while they get acclimated to their new environment. These dogwalkers love their work and it shows. It is easy to schedule walks online and they are very accommodating with any special needs or requests. I highly recommend their services.

Dave and his crew always go above and beyond for my pups, even in the terrible heat.

My pup has loved Bethesda Dog Walkers! Dave and the gang are very accommodating, flexible and helpful. Mowgli has loved Sofia and now waits for her by the door for his walk. What a great addition to our lives!! Highly recommend!!

A huge thank you to Frances, Lee and all the Bethesda dog walking crew! You guys take such great care of Kai and we couldn’t be happier with your services. A special thank you this week for braving the unusually high temperatures!

There are dog walking services and then there is Bethesda Dog Walkers, and their incredible staff like David and Sarah. My sweet Pepper is, unfortunately, a nervous dog. She is the biggest lovebug to me, but that is a side few ever see because she is so uncomfortable around other people, other dogs, and, well the world really. It is a tragedy that people don’t get to see her like I see her. Sarah and David have managed to do something I didn’t think was possible—make Pepper feel comfortable like I do; make her feel safe like I do; and in so doing get to see her like I do. That is just how good they are with Pepper (and I am sure the other dogs people entrust to them as well). There are so many examples I could point to from the little things like the adorable updates and photos they send through on their walks, to even just sitting with Pepper in the shade watching the world pass by (a favorite past time of Pepper’s). The one that sticks out in my mind the most is how Sarah stayed with Pepper in the middle of a rather nasty thunderstorm recently, keeping her company during the ‘walk’ while Pepper shook in fear, hiding in the bathroom. The walk was rained out, but Sarah stayed with her, soothing her, making her feel safe as the thunder crashed and the lightning flashed. She even stayed after the walk was nominally over to see Pepper through the worst of the storm. Pepper is my world; she’s not just a pet, she is family. Sarah, David, and Bethesda Dog Walkers understand that, believe it, and practice it—they treat Pepper like family, like she is their own. The peace of mind that that gives me is something on which I cannot put a price. That Pepper feels comfortable with them and is even excited to see them—my nervous sweetheart of a dog who still barks at my own parents after all these years, is excited to see them, bounding off the couch to greet them when they come to take her out, and that is priceless.

Bravo! My 11 year old Bouvier…Baby loves the walks and the folks that take her out! She does well and then starts breathing hard….so she has had enough and they are very thoughtful and starts back home. Great group of folks! Hope it leaves soon🍀

Highly recommend! We’ve been working with BDW for a few months now and they are reliable, friendly, professional and our dog loves them! The app is easy to use and I love the updates and pictures they provide after every walk.

Dave and the team have been great with walking our dog. They have a very nice scheduling portal and have been prompt with arriving at the agreed time slots. I recommend them for anyone looking for dog walking services.

Thank you so much for your services!

We have used Bethesda Dog Walkers to help out with our golden retriever for over 5 years. They are consistently available, super kind and very communicative when caring for our dog. We have really appreciated all of the care they have given him!

We have had a great experience with Bethesda Dog Walkers since we started using them in March 2025. Dave is great to work with and our goldendoodle loves his dog walkers! They have been punctual, friendly, trustworthy and great with our dog. The app is easy to use and we love the photos and reports. I highly recommend them!

I highly recommend Bethesda Dog Walkers! We hadn’t needed their services in a while so we repeated our Meet and Greet. Dave was attentive to our dog and learned his routine (and quirks) quickly! We love getting the report and picture immediately after each walk!

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!

Great service!

I have used Bethesda Dog Walkers multiple time for home visits. Dave is a caring and conscientious owner and makes a true effort to get to know his clients and their pets so he and his team can provide excellent service. And they do! I would highly recommend Bethesda Dog Walkers!

Using dog walker for first time - amazing service and experience !

Highly recommend. Reliable, flexible, friendly, and, most importantly, great people who love dogs. Our normally very shy dog absolutely loves Sasha and lights up when he sees him.

We are thrilled and especially grateful to Dave and his walkers. Dave and his team are exceptionally communicative and great with our Sophie. We recommend them without reservation.

Bethesda Dog walkers have been prompt, reliable, and flexible for someone who had to return to the office full time. Their messages and daily pictures of my energetic girls out on their walks give me peace of mind. Highly recommend!
