“Joanna and Gilbert took very good care of Snowy. They were very mindful of his feeding and walking schedule. Joanna was also very prompt with communication which I really appreciate.”
About: I have been around dogs since I was a kid and got my first dog at the age of five. Besides my personal experience taking care of all the dogs my family and I have had throughout the years, I have also done dog/cat sitting (overnight and drop in) for family friends. I am extremely thorough in my care for animals as I realize they are a part of the family. I have no issues working with animals (although I have mostly worked with dogs) who have high levels of energy or specific requirements. I have also overnight sat for more than one dog at a time. I work remote and am often able to care for dogs throughout my day. With a flexible work schedule, I can ensure that I am taking care of your dog whenever works best for them! While I am in an apartment, I live alone and have a fairly large space. Additionally I am only a few blocks from various dog parks (if that is something you allow). I would do everything in my power to ensure that your pet feels that my space is a safe environment for them and will be sure to communicate frequently with the owner about any questions that arise.
“Sonja was great! Beans adored her and she was very flexible and easy to work with! She sent me lots of pictures and told me all about my dog's day which I loved!”
“My boys Biscuit and Waffles are very lucky to have a such a wonderful sitter in Leonard! He’s warm, patient, and confident with my boys, who always come home from a visit with Leonard and his family in the best energy. Leonard is on point with communication before and during dog-sitting sessions. My favorite part: the regular update pics of the boys interacting with Leonard’s family (human and fur babies), which show everybody relaxed and chilled in their home. Good vibes all around!”
“My maltipoo had a great time with Asma! Asma quickly helped him feel situated in a new environment, and she was caring, fun, and patient with him (she also shared some new treats for him which he loved). Asma’s also very responsive and sent nice updates of their day together. Looking forward to the next time!”
“Brianne was absolutely amazing with Chai! She kept me consistently updated throughout the day with details about Chai’s walks, feeding times, and overall behavior, which gave me so much peace of mind. The pictures she sent were the highlight of my day — it was clear that Chai was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. It really seemed like she enjoyed her time at daycare, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’ll definitely be booking with Brianne again!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for friends and strangers alike ever since I graduated and moved to DC in 2019! It all started because I had such a deep love for dogs, but was not yet ready to have one of my own. Nowadays, I share an adorable little mutt with my boyfriend, and we split the care for her fairly evenly. Because of this, if you’re interested in boarding your pet, they need to be friendly with other dogs; ours absolutely LOVES them. Otherwise, I am happy to pet sit at your residence. Additionally, I have experience with elderly dog care and will cater to whatever their needs are. I’m a full-time corporate girlie with a flexible, hybrid work schedule. I’m normally in the office 2-3 days/week, but can work from home the entire duration of your pet’s stay, if that is desired. I’m happy to work with you to create the exact level of care and attention you desire for your doggo. Your pet would have free rein of the house while we’re home and would be kept in a separate room/ crate than our dog when we’re away. We do have a yard, although it’s not fenced in, so we let our dog run around on a 50 ft leash in the backyard; we could do the same for your dog!
“Your dog will be in great hands. I can’t recommend Johanna enough. I don’t usually leave my dog with people he doesn’t know so I was quite nervous, but she made us both feel very at ease! Johanna even played classical music for him. Amazing dog sitter!”
About: When I was growing up in South Korea, I was convinced that I had taught my dog how to write. Apparently I was wrong, but I still see our furry friends as my little sisters and brothers and love spending quality time with them. As a lifelong dog owner, I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages, from puppies to elders. Wherever I go and however I feel, meeting a dog always makes me so happy and brings a real smile to my heart. I'd be delighted to get to know your pup and make them feel right at home. I'm a teacher and I want to fill my summer vacation with dogs. I teach online classes from home over the summer, so I can give your pup the love and attention s/he needs. My schedule is flexible, so I'm also available to cover for emergencies and last minute plans. My highest priority is to treat your dog just the way you want them to be treated. My partner and I live in a quiet apartment right next to Rock Creek Park and have easy access to trails, sidewalks, and a dog park. I'm happy to come to your home as well. By default, I will probably send you too many photos of your dog during our time together (but they'll all be very cute photos, of course).
About: Growing up around animals has blessed me with the proper love and experience necessary to take care of both cats and dogs. My open availability and schedule allows for 24/7 care. I look forward to meeting you soon🙂. Hi there! I am online college student which allows me to have completely open availability 24/7. I am an early bird which helps my schedule and allows me to stay at home and attend all of the needs required to make our furry friends happy! Create your appointments same day if you need to, I am always able to accommodate to any needs. I can’t wait to meet the both of you, see you soon! I provide a safe, trustworthy and risk-free environment. I am very attentive and would appreciate and enjoy spending time with my new furry friends, thank you!
“Sofia was great! She watched our 70 lbs sheepadoodle for the day. She was very responsive before and during our stay. Our pup clearly had a great time and Sofia provided several pictures. We will definitely look to rebook Sofia in the future!”
“My dog stayed with Lee for daycare just once so far, but we're off to a good start. She has been very communicative and thorough. I was pleased to get a mid-day update, and Lee made drop off and pick up very fast and easy. My dog was returned to me content and in good shape. From what I have experienced so far, I would definitely recommend Lee and hope to continue hiring her for future dog sitting.”
“Emanuela took great care of Anne Shirley! I’m always a little nervous leaving her with anyone (even my own relatives) but felt super comfortable leaving her with Emanuela. She was quick to respond and provided updates throughout the day while I was at work. Definitely would use again!”

Kukjin C.
“Kukjin is definitely the best dog sitter than you could ever ask for. She is kind, friendly, outgoing and warm hearted. When a friend asked me to take care of her little Corgi, I was nervous - I'm more of a cat person and I'm a complete beginner with dogs. So I invited Kukjin to help me out and I couldn't have made a better choice. She is the most loving and patient dog caretaker that I have even seen. My friend's Corgi is still a puppy so he was very playful. Kukjin knew exactly how to play with him. They bonded instantly and had so much fun together. She was also incredibly attentive to the puppy's needs and understood them very well. There was one night that the puppy refused to sleep and just wanted to hang out in the sofa. Kukjin played with him until he settled down and even spent the night curled up on the sofa with him. It was the sweetest thing ever! If you’re looking for someone who will care for your dog like family, Kukjin is the one. I would trust her with any dog, any time, and I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
