Winston11/8/2012 If there were 10 stars to give, I'd be giving them all to Dog Gone Walking! In a last minute, holiday weekend "our regular dog sitter canceled for some unknown reason and we already had tickets to fly cross country the next day" emergency, I contacted Beth, on a recommendation, in a panic. In her wonderfully accommodating and professional way, she managed to calm me down, agreed to take Winston for 10 days, and everything worked out perfectly. She came to our house to pick up our pooch, accommodated our hectic schedules, and sent us pictures of him looking right at home on her couch :) while we were on vacation. He had such a good time with Beth and Tave (Beth's personal pet), their other sleepover buddies, bones, toys and long walks, I don't even think he remembered us when we got home!
It's always somewhat stressful leaving your pet with someone you don't know. I've boarded Winston at several places over the past few years, from one night to two weeks, and have even resorted to flying him to CA with me once or twice because I just couldn't find someone I felt good leaving him with on a regular basis. Beth has been so much more than a dog sitter for us; she's brought that peace of mind that's always been lacking when we've had to leave Winston in a new and unfamiliar place. She treats our pooch like he's her family pet, and us like friends instead of customers. I couldn't be happier, and I'm thrilled to see her business growing and to see how many incredibly happy people she's been able to help!! Honestly, if you're unsure, uneasy or worried about your pet's well being while you're away, there is no more capable, wonderful, loving, pet enthusiast than Beth - she is BY FAR the best!!– Tasha
Winston1/27/2013 I am so impressed. My beloved dog was put in Beth's care less than two weeks after his adoption. Within hours, I was receiving texts and e-mails with photos of him. It made my business trip so much less stressful!
8/14/2014 I have used Beth multiple times since my initial review as I have a heavy travel schedule for work. She is still the best! Winston is a mommy's boy and a homebody. Yet he loves going to her home. He is terrified of children (something must have happened in his first few months pre-adoption) yet he loves her daughter. Her photos and videos are the best! She has been incredibly flexible as well, which has been an added bonus. I would give a sixth star if I could!

WinstonGreat company!!
I've been using dog gone walking pets since I moved to the DC area in August. I met Beth when I was out walking my dog and she was walking one of her client's dogs. She has been very friendly from the start. She sends me pictures and texts when Winston stays with her, which is so comforting because I hate leaving him in a place he isn't familiar with. But, he seems to love staying with her! She is also very helpful and accommodating to my grad student budget. She always responds to my emails and texts, answering any questions I may have. Additionally, she helped me get my bundle of energy set up with an excellent dog trainer, Colleen. You can tell she loves what she does and is willing to bend over backwards to help her clients in anyway she can. I definitely recommend Beth and her company, Dog Gone Walking Pets, to anyone who wants a knowledgeable, extremely friendly and animal-loving person caring for their pets!!
