Great help, Anh really helped put my mind at ease while I was away, and helping with the dogs was a big deal. She was very attentive and reliable on time and had attention to detail. I will definitely use her services again. Highly recommend

About: I have been an animal lover as long as I’ve been alive. For 15 years I have been responsible for caring for a variety of animals but mainly Dogs and Cats. I have experience taking care of animals with a variety of medical issues. I understand the importance of consistency when it comes to caring for a pet in general but especially when they have health concerns. Comfortable around all breeds and sizes. Knowledgeable in leash training, potty training, and crate training. Just like people all animals have their own unique personality. Excited to care for your best friend like they were my own! I do occasionally work on the weekends so there could be 7-8 hour periods between me being with your pet. Would let you know my work schedule if that overlap with care. If no fenced in yard at residence will keep dog on a leash at all times outside the home. I am respectful of peoples homes since that is your safe space. My yard is fenced at my residence so if you wanted your pet to stay with me they would need to be comfortable around 2 fosters cats and children.

Melanie did a wonderful job looking after our two cats and our fish while we were out of town for thanksgiving. Beyond feeding the cats, she spent time interacting with them as well. They had clearly been very well taken care of when we got home. She also kept the area the cats eat in and their litter boxes very clean, and brought several packages in for us, too. We will definitely be getting in touch with Melanie again the next time we need someone to look after our pets.

About: Hello! I’m a dedicated dog lover who believes every pup deserves safe, engaging, and tailored care. Whether your dog needs a slow sniffari around the neighborhood or a high-energy workout to burn off steam, I’m here to make sure they return home happy and tired. As a professional in project management, I bring that same level of extreme organization, punctuality, and clear communication to my pet care. You can always count on me to be on time, follow your exact instructions, and provide detailed updates and photos of our adventures. My Experience Includes: • Rescue & Foster Care: I have hands-on experience working with the DC Dog Fosters network. I understand the patience, gentle reinforcement, and adaptability required to make dogs of all backgrounds feel safe and loved. • High-Energy & Active Pups: I maintain a very active lifestyle and love the outdoors. If you have a dog with boundless energy, I’m more than happy to take them on long, brisk walks or even weekend trail hikes out by Shenandoah. • Breed-Specific Knowledge: I am comfortable with a wide variety of breeds and their unique needs—from managing the stubborn, high drive of a Jack Russell Terrier to monitoring the breathing and temperature needs of a Frenchie. • Safety First: I am highly observant of my surroundings, ensuring your dog is safe from street hazards, extreme weather, and unpredictable off-leash dogs. I treat every dog like they are my own, and I can't wait to meet yours! I’m available for boarding weekends and available for dog walking/ sitting weekdays after 6pm. I’m also available for training and can meet at the client’s home I have a backyard for your dog to play in and no other pets. Spacious apartment in Northeast DC and some chew toys and treats.

About: When I was 15, I had my first puppy named Marshmallow, a very handsome grey & white Shih Tzu. Since then, I've had this massive love for pets. I have babysat my friends and family dogs, including a pitbull, a golden doodle, a cat, a labrador, a pomeranian, and a disabled terrier. I will take care of them with lots of love & compassion. I can guarantee great on-time care for them. I'm a full-time student in college looking for a part-time job that smoothly fits into my week. Also, creating my own schedule is something that comes in handy on busy school days. I would take your dog on long & lovely walks, keep them well-fed, work on possibly getting them to new tricks & make sure things stay clean.

About: I’ve always had a special bond with animals, and my family often trusts me to care for their dogs. I look forward to making you and your pets happy too. I have a wonderful Standard Poodle named Stormi Bless. Caring for pets is my part-time job while I’m also pursuing a degree in Criminal Justice. I’m confident I can build a strong connection with your dog and provide them with the love and attention they deserve. When I look after my family’s dogs, I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I’m always mindful of their needs, whether it’s time for a walk, a meal, or just some extra care. This is currently my part time job as I am in college as well. I currently take up criminal justice, but I am sure to connect with your dog and show them support. When taking care of my family pets I am sure to make sure their dogs get attention, love, and the play time they need. When a pet shows signs of needing a walk or it’s time for food I pay attention to it all.

About: I have taken care of my own pets since I was 13 and have trained them myself, and if you ask any body in my family they would probably tell you that they are spoiled. I have also helped family members take care of puppies and kittens; helping with feedings, cleaning, potty training, etc. So, that they could find forever homes. I am currently a freshman in college and my class load is fairly easy and flexible giving me ample time to focus on your pet. I am a stickler for rules and following instructions, so however you want me to look after your pet and the boundaries set; I will follow exactly how you want as the pet owner.

Natalie is truly a VIP cat sitter. She consistently goes above and beyond to make sure Pierre is not only cared for, but genuinely comfortable, happy, and loved while I’m away. She spends quality time with him, follows every instruction carefully, keeps me updated, and always makes sure he’s well fed and well taken care of. She is hands down the best cat sitter I’ve ever had, and I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing, trustworthy, and attentive person to care for their pets.

I highly recommend Mickela for your pet sitting needs. She was able to fill a super last min need for drop-ins on my two kitties while I was away for a few days. She responded quickly and was able to meet me at short notice. She was very sweet and the boys took to her immediately. She was great about cleaning up their messes (including a puke surprise left by one of them lol). This was the first time I booked a sitter to do daily drop-ins and I’m so glad I reached out to Mickela. She was such a huge help. 🤗

They were absolutely amazing. I just moved to the area from Texas and had to travel to Colorado for my niece’s birthday, but couldn’t bring my dog. My usual pet sitter is back in Texas, so I was unexpectedly without pet care. When the dates of my trip changed, they were generous and flexible enough to watch Scooby a little longer. Scooby normally takes a while to warm up to new people and can be particularly hesitant around men, but he bonded with them incredibly quickly. They truly exceeded my expectations. I will absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and wonderful with pets.
