History
We have been serving pet parents in DC since 1991! The business changed hands when the original owner retired. My story began when I moved to a new neighborhood and had trouble finding a pet sitter near me who I could trust to care for my cocker spaniel, Bella. My goal was to build a company that I would use. I know how hard it is to leave your furbaby for a business trip and how difficult it is to turn over the keys to your home to a new dog walker. My experience as a pet parent orients every decision, policy, and value that I put into place. Bella has served as my inspiration for all that we do. I came up with the name Patriotic Paws Dog Walking because Bella and I both came from military families. Also, we live in a city where most people are dedicated to serving, whether it is working for a non-profit or for the government, as a first-responder, or volunteering at your kid's school - most residents of DC are passionate and dedicated to a cause.
