“Joe was such a great host for Barnaby while I was on work travel. He took Barnes on walks/runs each day, had him socialize with other dogs, and always sent me an update with pictures. Joe was very communicative, quick to respond, and flexible with pick-up / drop off. Truly the best dog watcher I've used in the city, and that's including the big chains. I'll definitely be using him again”

“Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!”

“I’d definitely book with Christian again. She took great care of my dog. Sent pictures everyday and was very attentive during my dog’s stay. Sometimes with other Rover stays, my dog acts differently or shy for a few days. My dog was in perfect spirits after her stay with Christian.”

“Stephanie and Luis are the absolute best! They provided fantastic care for Toto. The communication was outstanding and frequent. The reassuring updates made my time away completely stress-free. Toto came home incredibly happy and well-cared for. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Elizabeth is amazing! She treated our pup Ollie like one of her own and made his stay feel like a true vacation. From fun adventures and plenty of playtime to the sweetest snuggles, it's clear she genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. She sent us the cutest photos and videos throughout his stay, which we looked forward to every day. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Ollie had the best time, and we’re so grateful to have found her!”

“Jasmine and Stormi were great with Roxy. Roxy was transitioning between dog foods during her stay and Jasmine handled it like a pro. I would highly recommend Jasmine for your next trip.”

“I recently had my Bella stay with Vania for 5 days. When I booked the appointment which was short notice I was thankful that Vania was will to accommodate me. Vania went above and beyond to provide great care to Bella, this was her 2nd time out of the home and from the time I dropped her off it was a challenge just to get her to indoors. I am thankful to Vania for her wonderful care of Bella and will definitely book with her again in the future.”

“My pup Rogan loves staying with Alli and her family. They are so attentive to his needs and it's clear that he feels right at home. And Alli always sends pictures and updates to let me know how he's doing. I highly recommend Alli!”

“Matt and Kelly (and their sweet daughter!) took great care of Robbin while I was away! They took her on plenty of walks and runs and I received pictures while I was away which was very much appreciated.”
“Audrey has watched T’Challa twice now over this past month since I’ve traveled for work. She’s been super responsive when I inquire about availability and also when I’m checking in. I also love that there’s a dogpark on her rooftop—how fancy is that to see them hanging out up there?! She takes such good care of my little guy and I’m so grateful for her and her super cute pup! I’d recommend Audrey — 10/10!”

“Janel was a wonderful caregiver for our small shy rescue dog Amos. She tried hard to win his trust, and she succeeded by giving him the type of attention and care he needed. I highly recommend Janel and will certainly use her again the next time. Carol. August 2023”

“Lia was responsive and sent detailed updates throughout each day. Lia was also very flexible with some last minute changes I needed to make to the booking. Foxy had a great time staying with her!”

“This was our first time leaving our “Livi” with a sitter! Abigail was TERRIFIC!!! From the moment we met, we felt that Livi would be in good hands. She surpassed our expectations! She communicated frequently and sent pictures which moreover made us more comfortable. We highly recommend her and would not hesitate to use her in the future. Thanks again, Abigail!”

“Mckinley watched my kitten Cashew over the July 4 long weekend, and she was awesome! A week before Cashew’s boarding stay started, she proposed a phone call to learn all about his care and any concerns I had. She sent consistent updates with photos/videos of Cashew throughout his stay, and he clearly had a blast playing with her cat!”

About: I am a true Capitol Hill dog lover and I have always had a strong passion for animals, mostly for dogs. I have been caring for dogs since I was child, taking care of my mother’s beloved shitzu. Taking care of her helped me acquire basic canine behavior and taught me the responsibility of taking care of a pet. Most recently I raised my own best friend, Gelato an English Bulldog. I gained my breeder experience with Gelato and cared for her and her 6 puppies, until they were rehomed at 8 months. I enjoy taking long walks, which I consider the ultimate stress reliever and best way to exercise. I have no problem getting my hands dirty. I have 20 years of experience in the customer service field and enjoy striving to provide the best experience to my clients. In my personal time I am spending time with my 2 little girls teaching them how to play sports, and of course how to be loving pet owners. Thank you for taking the time to visit my page! I’m currently working part time and will be available to walk most pets during early mornings hours during the week and mid day and evenings during the weekend. I definitely would like to know your pets temperament, and what might scare them. I know they will feel most comfortable at home but if they are with me, I’d like to keep a calm, pet friendly setting for them to be comfortable in.

“Ms. Patience took great care of my little one. Sent plenty of updates and she took Badu on 2x the walks she usually gets. Definitely recommended her to everyone with pets that I know. Will use her services in the future :)”

“Terrence was so kind and communicative. We had a complicated hand-off situation with my two dogs, and he was understanding and flexible. The dogs were happy and calm when I picked them up. He was great to work with!”

“June was fantastic with our puppy Maya that we adopted only a few months ago. She sent constant pictures and updates... Maya had such a good time staying with her! We will definitely be a returning customer!”

Margaret did a wonderful job taking care of Bear while I was away. She kept me updated throughout the stay with regular messages and multiple pictures, which made it easy to see that Bear was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. It was obvious that she gave him plenty of attention and made him feel at home. I really appreciated her communication and the care she provided, and I would absolutely trust her to watch Bear again. I highly recommend Margaret to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.

Fred & crew watched my two pups on very short notice for 6 nights while my husband and I traveled out of the country. I found his rate(s) fair for the care they received. Where we traveled had limited service, including WiFi which made it difficult to check in on the girls. Nonetheless, the days passed on and they were returned to us safely with all of our belongings. At drop off, they were attentive and thorough in the instructions for care. My only concern is that I provided freshpet as their meal (which needs to be refrigerated). The bag I received back was nearly full, warm and smelled rancid. Literally not possible if only sitting out for a couple hours- or even 8 hours. Future bookers: If your parenting style is unattached (not obsessive), then this will be a good sitter for you. Also, if you get a chance - check out the space that they will be keeping your pets. I didn’t care to because I genuinely didn’t have the time or resources to change my mind. If I had to, I would book again and I’d leave solid food and room temp soft food. 😬

Joe was great and we would be happy to leave Dakota in his care again. He was super flexible and provided daily updates which were really appreciated. Dakota made some dog friends and seemed to enjoy his lengthy visit. Joe lives near a wooded area so it was nice for Dakota to be a little bit out of the chaos of the city.

I recently had a last-minute Fourth of July trip, and Tamara graciously accepted my booking request on very short notice. Not only did she care for my oldest dog, but she also welcomed my youngest, who can be a bit of a handful. With patience and kindness, Tamara gave both of my girls exceptional care. She allowed my youngest the freedom to adjust at her own pace and, amazingly, helped her become comfortable around cats for the very first time! I never would have imagined she could calmly interact with one, but Tamara made it happen. Throughout their stay, Tamara maintained excellent communication and sent me plenty of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. She also has a wonderful family who helped shower my girls with love and attention, making them feel right at home. Tamara is responsible, attentive, compassionate, and truly caring. She goes above and beyond, and she is worth her weight in gold. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets. My girls will absolutely be back when I’m in town! ❤️

Marcy had a great time with Juan, Felipe, and Roma during our recent two week trip. We have never been away from her for more than a few days, but we felt really comfortable leaving her with Juan and Felipe. They are so thoughtful and caring, sending us plenty of updates and pictures of Marcy having fun. There was a heatwave in DC while we were gone and they let us know that they would take a longer than usual walk in the morning and shorter walks in the afternoon to keep the dogs from overheating. They also made sure Marcy was comfortable during the fireworks. They always put the health and safety of the dogs first, and I trust them 100% with my baby!
