Fido Group’s core purpose is to meet the pet care needs of busy families with demanding work obligations and other responsibilities. The word “Group” in our business name is both a nod to our many attorney clients and a reference to our trademark service, the Group Dog Walk.

Why Our Clients Rely on Us

Families in the Upper Northwest community are familiar with Fido Group because they often see our owner walking small groups of dogs in the neighborhood. Our dependable, professional service allows owners to take comfort in knowing their pet is well cared for and getting the exercise and socialization they need. Our clients consistently trust us to safely manage the livelihood of their pets, the keys to their homes, and their confidential information.

Who Our Services Are For

One in 12 DC residents is an attorney, according to the American Bar Association and the U.S. Census Bureau. Long hours, countless meetings, and stress characterize the life of a DC working professional, which is why we created a spin on the traditional law firm to provide pet care services. 

We serve two of the busy pet owner’s most pressing needs:

My Dog Needs Consistency

You have a busy work schedule and a bustling family life. Although you yearn to give your dog good walks and social outlets on a consistent basis, you simply don’t have the time. It’s also important to you that your pet have the opportunity to socialize with other animals. We offer:

  • Flexible times to work around your schedule
  • Around-the-clock service—24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year
  • A modern client portal for scheduling and other requests
  • An end to your search for a reliable, trained dog walker

My Dog Needs Companionship

Our service has been proven to work wonders for lonely pets who need more socialization and exercise. If your dog has had little to no exposure to other dogs, the Group Dog Walk is the perfect opportunity for them to learn to play well with others. Other benefits include:

  • Small groups of dogs for prime socialization opportunities
  • Closely monitored interactions to ensure safety
  • No minimum booking requirement to use our services
  • Flexible scheduling

Our Trademark Service

As “Your Partner in Pets,” we help our clients save time with their dogs. Whether it’s the portion of the day you spend walking the dog yourself or the hours per week you spend at the dog park, we’re here to help lighten the load.

Group Dog Walking

During the Group Dog Walk, your dog walks on-leash with 2-4 additional dogs in a safe neighborhood setting in the District. With safety as our top priority, due diligence is necessary. Therefore, our extensive onboarding process includes an application, a meet & greet session to get to know you and your dog, and “Fido’s exam,” which includes trial walks and a temperament test.
Group 43

Puppy Play

Our free group socialization course for puppies is designed to expose your young pets to new sights, sounds, and people.

“We've been Chris' customer for more than two years. Chris and his team are simply the best. First and foremost they love each and every dog in their care, and clearly love what they do. In addition, they are highly professional, organized, and conscientious to a fault. It's great to feel 100% confident that your dog is in good hands. Chris is terrific and we wouldn't use any other service.”

“Chris does an excellent job handling our high energy dog and runs a very professional dog walking business. Chris is trustworthy, a great communicator, positive, and clearly has a deep love and care for dogs. Our dog is friendly, but he can be reactive to other dogs on leash. Before taking our dog on a group walk, Chris took the time to introduce our dog to the other dogs he would be walking with to make sure they all got along and everyone was safe. Our dog comes back tired and happy from his walks. I highly recommend Chris to anyone who is looking for a dog walker!”

“We met Chris and could immediately tell how much of a caring animal lover he was. It took us all but one introduction to trust that he would be a perfect dog walker and pal for our new puppy. Chris has been walking Jenny weekly for the past couple months, and is prompt, professional, communicative, and kind. Our puppy runs to the door every time he comes to walk her, and we couldn't be happier with his service. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for a trusted dog walker in the future!”

“Chris is a fabulous dog walker! He takes the time to understand the dogs he works with and very thoughtfully matches them with other dogs. We can tell he is attentive with our dog because he knows her personality as well as we do. Chris is always happy to give us recommendations for training techniques and other services and we have recommended him to our neighbors.”

-Natalie R.
