About: Currently my brother and I are working from home and don't mind having your dog here to accompany us. We love furry guests! I've had/watched dogs all my life ranging from teacups to great Danes, we love them all! Working from home 5 days a week (introverts for sure) we are available most week days and weekends. Our morning and afternoon walks for its nothing to add your fur baby! We have pups and dislike crates so I let them roam the house. If the house is too foreign I will limit them to the room im occupying with occasional backyard fun and 20/30 min walks. I also send pics daily/hourly depending on owners comfort level.

About: I’ve lived with five dogs and two cats of my own over the last 15 years, and they’ve all been family. More recently, I've fostered many dogs with different needs and temperaments in my home during the last year. I’ve cared for everything from zoomy puppies to sweet old-timers who needed help with stairs, meds, and the occasional mess. I’m calm, gentle, and totally happy spending hours just hanging out with animals. Whether your pet wants playtime, walks, or snuggles, I'm game. I'm self-employed with a flexible, hybrid schedule. With a little notice, I can tighten my away from home work hours to 4 or less most days. As both a sitter and an owner, I know that communication is key and details matter. Just let me know your pets needs and quirks and I will treat them as you would.

“Hired for two walks, 30 min each. The first was fine. The second she came and went in 16 minutes and said she “made it a quick one because she had walked my dog earlier.” Huh? Not sure what that was about….”

About: Hi! I’ve pretty much always had a dog or cat in my life, so taking care of pets is something I genuinely love. I grew up with a German Shorthaired Pointer and a pit bull (and plenty of cats!), so I’m super comfortable with bigger dogs, high energy pups and pets with strong personalities. I’ve also cared for senior pets and am comfortable giving medications, keeping up with feeding schedules, adjusting walks for different energy and mobility levels, and following all the oddly specific little routines that pets inevitably train us into. I’m a big believer in keeping things as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away, so I’ll stick to your pet’s routine, give them lots of attention and happily send you photos and updates along the way. Whether your pet wants a long walk, a serious game of tug of war or just someone to hang out with on the couch, I’m very happy to be their person while you’re gone (and hopefully their new favorite sitter!). Pet care fits really naturally into my routine! I work a 9–5 in communications for a nonprofit think tank, with a hybrid schedule that has me working from home on Mondays and Fridays. That gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, playtime and check-ins throughout the day, especially around long weekends. I’m open to overnight stays, daily drop-ins, walks or a mix depending on what works best for you and your pet. I’m also happy to work around their usual routine as much as possible. I know pets tend to have their schedules figured out better than the rest of us! Since I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, my goal is to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible for your pet! I’ll follow their normal routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime and, of course, plenty of attention and cuddles (if they’re into that!). I’m also very respectful of your home and will make sure everything is left just as I found it. Most importantly, I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and check-ins so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe and comfortable in their own space.

“Thanks for being so kind to Cosmo, he is in a good mood when I get home thanks to you”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats for years and have taken care puppies and kitties as well as senior pets. I am happy to walk or metro in the DMV area. I work late night/early morning shifts so I am able to do morning, afternoon, and evening checks. My schedule is also pretty flexible but 1 week notice to fully schedule the visit in my calendar is preferred. I don’t have a vehicle but I am completely open to taking buses or the metro to your home. I’m happy to stay in your home if you need me too. If any medication or diets are needed for them, I will follow instructions and communicate any updates as much as needed.

“Joe takes great care of our dog during their daily walks and gives great updates! Would definitely recommend for anyone needing dog walking/boarding services!”

“Jayden was an all star walker for my dog melee, who requires some special care in his aging years. Jayden communicated well, sent photos, was flexible and all around great to work with. Highly recommend!”

“Our neighbors use Mega and spoke very highly of her. I can confirm their praise was well deserved. She is very communicative and likes to really get to know what the pet enjoys before taking care of them.”

Molly T.

“Sydney was great! We booked her for a last minute walk and would highly recommend. She was professional and an excellent communicator. Will absolutely use her services again when the need arises. Thanks, Sydney!”

Parker P.

“Jennifer was a great help and made sure to give Cricket the best experience - she took the pup for an extensive walk and sent photos along the way. She made sure that Cricket was well hydrated after too, given the heat. I’m sure Cricket will want to see Jennifer a lot more!”

“Sandi was able to step in for me in an emergency situation and I could not have been more grateful. It’s clear that Sandi is an experienced dog walker in the area and knows just where to take the dogs so they can play and have fun. Thank you Sandi!”

“Larquana was awesome with our high energy dog Milo. She was timely, sent me updates and photos of Milo looking extremely happy during their time together, and ensured to put all of Milo’s items back in their place which was very helpful and sweet. We will definitely be calling Larquana again.”

About: -A Lifetime of Love, Rescue & Thoughtful Pet Care 🐾- For me, caring for animals has always been more than a responsibility. It’s about understanding their personalities, respecting their routines, and making them feel loved and at home. With 20 years of hands-on experience, my journey began in Germany, where I volunteered walking and fostering dogs. Later, in Bahrain, I became involved in animal rescue. Today, my family includes four wonderful rescue cats from the Middle East, each with their own unique story. I’ve cared for everything from tiny 5-week-old kittens and energetic puppies to senior companions requiring specialized attention. -Experienced, Attentive & Individualized Care- My beloved dog was with me from 2008 to 2024. During his senior years, I gained valuable experience administering medication, assisting with physical therapy, and adapting routines to his changing needs. -A Little Home Away From Home 🌿- My home offers a spacious backyard for playtime and a cozy sunroom for safely enjoying the sunshine. With Rock Creek Park and Woodside Forest nearby, I can offer anything from gentle strolls to longer woodland adventures, always tailored to your dog’s needs and energy levels. I believe exceptional pet care lies in the little details. I’m happy to provide regular photos and updates throughout your pet’s stay, so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind. Above all, I love working with pet parents who value thoughtful, attentive care as much as I do. Every animal deserves to feel safe, understood, and cherished. I currently work remotely for a consulting and advisory firm, which gives me the flexibility to incorporate pet care naturally into my daily routine. Working from home means I’m around throughout much of the day to provide companionship, attention, and regular breaks. My weekends are generally very flexible, allowing plenty of time for longer walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply enjoying a relaxed day together. I believe pets thrive on consistency, so I’m happy to accommodate their usual feeding schedules, walks, medication, and daily routines to make their stay as comfortable and familiar as possible. A Safe, Peaceful & Welcoming Home 🏡 I live in a spacious single-family home in a quiet residential neighborhood, offering a calm and comfortable environment for your companion. The house features a generous backyard with plenty of room for supervised outdoor play, exploration, and fresh air, as well as a lovely sunroom where pets can safely relax and enjoy the sunshine. For additional peace of mind, my home is equipped with security cameras in the main living areas, providing an extra layer of household security. I take a thoughtful, individualized approach to pet care, always respecting each animal’s personality, comfort level, and established routines. Whether your pet enjoys an active day outdoors or prefers a peaceful afternoon indoors, their safety and well-being are always my priorities. I’m also happy to share regular photos and updates, so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. 🐾

“Maya was wonderful!”
