House Sitting Brightwood

“Christina is amazing. She is so good with Tyson. She’s watched him for me two separate occasions and both times I didn’t worry about Tyson. She’s attentive, caring, punctual and a joy to be around. I’ve found a true gem🙏🏿🧡”

About: From my childhood days of caring for my beloved dogs Shadow and Mittens (and Charlie the cat) to my more recent role as dog foster for Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and Laila's Legacy, I love caring for man's best friend. I am the guy at the party who would rather hang out with pets than people and in our circle of friends, I am the designated dog sitter and walker whenever the need arises. I work from home, so I have the flexibility during the week to drop in for visits and dog walking. My work schedule typically allows for me to adapt to what your schedule calls for. I am open to overnight stays on a case by case basis. Please send me a message with details and I'll figure out if I am available. I have a good deal of experience walking dogs, including reactive dogs. Taking care of foster dogs, often fresh from shelters, I've grown used to handling dogs with various behavioral issues and fears, keeping them away from triggers.

“Halle is absolutely phenomenal! She exceeded all my expectations and needs taking care of Tommy and my apartment while I was away. She is very communicative and had the cutest updates throughout the booking. She made my trip so easy to enjoy knowing everything was being take care of — I absolutely recommend her in the DC area!!”

“Grateful for Jayne’s help with a short sit on relatively short notice. I really appreciated that she spent quality time with my pup and stayed until close to my return, especially given my dog’s nervousness about lingering fireworks. She also sent helpful updates. Thanks, Jayne!”

“Paweena and Aaron do a fantastic job and our dog is always so excited to spend time with them! We really appreciate the care and updates they provide. They also take great care of our home and it is always so nice to get back! Highly recommend.”

“Jocabet was a fantastic sitter for our dogs! She was extremely communicative, friendly, and sent us lots of pictures and updates. She was never afraid to ask questions and she took great care of our home and our dogs. Jocabet came for a quick walk through of our place and our routine before the booking and we left her a guide that answered most questions, which she followed perfectly. Our dogs loved spending time with Jocabet and we would absolutely book with her again!!”

“Landy is a great communicator, follows all instructions, and leaves us a tired and happy puppy when we get back from work — couldn’t ask for more!”

“Kym was great with our dog Rory, who takes a little time to warm up to new people. We appreciated the communication, pictures of the happy pup, and flexibility when we experienced a flight delay coming home.”

Colin G.

“Monica is an amazing pet sitter. The dog was happy. The house was clean. She followed all the instructions provided. She was extremely communicative and sent tons of adorable pictures of our dog playing and snuggling. Our dog isn't the easiest and takes a while to warm up to new people. Monica did a great job gaining her trust and making sure they had a good week while we were away. I would highly recommend her and look forward to booking with her again.”

Kelley S.

About: I have one pet, and I am an aunt to many others! I am no stranger to unique dietary needs (food allergies arose for both my current cat and my former dog). I had a handful of regular house-sitting and drop-in clients before moving to Maryland, including some highly energetic medium dogs, and one small sweet senior dog. I have helped care for my friend’s pittie Piglet since she was a puppy, I was a go-to cat sitter for a number of colleagues at my last job, and I’ve even looked after Guinea pigs and a gerbil. I look forward to meeting your pet, no matter what age or energy level! I work with very flexible hours, which means I am able to check on pets multiple times throughout the day on weekdays if need be. My weekends are typically free all day Sat & Sun! I let pets take the lead on how social they would like to be. My cat tends toward shyness and does not appreciate uninvited touching, while my friend’s dog prefers engaged playtimes with my full attention. I respect pets’ comfort level as well as their routines—if your dog has a very strange or specific release word at mealtime… if your cat demands a particular treat at a particular time of night… let me know, I’ll accommodate!

“Veronica did an amazing job taking care of my two pups while I was out of town on a work trip. One of my dogs is diabetic and requires insulin injections and monitoring. Veronica was very attentive to his needs and consistently communicated how my dogs were doing. I felt truly at peace with her caring for my dogs. Highly recommend her!”

Ben R.

“Amazing! We’re so lucky to have found Jacqlyn. Her pup Awoo and our Max are best friends. She’s communicative, reliable, and truly cares about the dogs. Highly recommend her!”

Malvi & Andrej G.

“Karachi took excellent care of our dogs and home. She jumped to our rescue when our flight was delayed and stayed an extra night. Highly recommended.”
