“Sonja has taken such wonderful care my new puppy! She keeps me posted all day on what Gracie is doing and stays in great communication. Also, Gracie loves her!”
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.
“Luciana was amazing with our puppy! Communication was excellent, she sent videos and updates during the stay. My dog loved her and was happy to meet her. I will definitely book again.”
“This review is actually long overdue! I moved down to DC last year from NYC, and I was so overwhelmed with relocating and finding a sitter that I could trust with the most precious thing in my life (my pup Jax). I am so thankful to have found Lenny and his family! They have always cared for Jax as if he was their own. I can tell at the end of each day Jax had a happy fun-filled time, and isn’t that what we all want for our pups... to give them the best life possible. Seeing Rover pictures of Jax “living his best life” truly brightens up my work day. Lastly, I appreciate how thoughtful and understanding Lenny is to my essential work schedule, especially during this COVID-19 crisis. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without Lenny, Kate, and their daughters. I guess, I say all this to say, I highly recommend Lenny and his family!”

“Leila came to my rescue w/ my last minute request for doggy daycare today. She responded quickly and made my Zoe feel so welcome at drop off. Zoe did not want to leave when I picked her up, which is a first. Leila is a dog whisperer! Thank you for your kindness and the adorable photos. Immediately had peace of mind knowing Zoe was in great care w/ a loving sitter. My girl Zoe can be a bit high maintenance but Leila never made me feel like an inconvenience. I highly recommend Leila to care for your fur baby.”

Chang was able to get her to relax and eat some of her food and also treated Mia to a pup smoothie bowl that she enjoyed. We also appreciated Chang's prompt responses to our messages and all the pictures and updates she shared. We're glad we found Chang on short notice.”
“Sabrina is awesome! Our dog can be a little anxious or defensive, but Sabrina made him feel right at home and by the time we arrived to pick him up, they’d become fast friends. Highly recommend doggy daycare with Sabrina.”
“Maiya was wonderful. She took care of Mochi for the whole week. She walked her and made sure she was cared for and happy. Loved getting her pictures; they were so cute! Thank you so much Maiya!!!”

I am currently available on weekdays from 5pm until 10pm, and at most times during the weekends. I am very flexible with dates and times. I am able to feed, give medications, walk and play with your dog inside or outside of your home. I will always put the safety of your pet first and this is always a priority of mine.

“Archana was absolutely wonderful! Sent me videos and pictures of my pup made my day! Lucy was very excited and I could tell she had a very nice time! 10/10 recommend!”
About: My name is Sumedh T. I have been an animal lover since I was a kid, taking care of my friends’ dogs often. I enjoy spending time with dogs- taking them out for walks, playing games, teaching them new tricks and commands, and understanding their different personalities and behaviors. I volunteered at a dog shelter where I fed, cleaned, and cared for various breeds of dogs. I’m very excited that my wife and I are planning to adopt a rescue in the next year, our neighborhood is very walkable and pet friendly. Professionally, I am a software engineer and in my free time I love playing video games, cooking, traveling, dog-walking/sitting, and I’ve recently taken up biking. I work from home, so I have the flexibility to monitor and attend to the needs of the dogs I’ve boarded throughout the day. I am able to take breaks for dog walks in the morning and the evening. While boarding I’m able to constantly able to watch the pet. Outside of the home I am always on the lookout for any type of sign from the pet and am able to react quickly.

Allison responded to a last minute request and was much appreciated. She was taking care of another pup and Saint had a great time with him from the pics i received. Her husband was super nice! More updates would definitely be appreciated would use Allison again!
Miryam took great care of our dog, Koby! He is very shy with new people and she did a great job of making him feel safe with her. By the end of his time with her we could tell he felt comfortable, which was a huge relief for us! We already have her booked to care for Koby again.
Megan has been absolutely wonderful and a treat to work with. She is kind, friendly, and very approachable. One day, my dog, and I were walking in the neighborhood and he brought me to her house because of how much he enjoyed spending time with her and her cutie Nova. Megan has kindly helped us watch and Walk Pinot, and every interaction has been nothing but positive and easy. I am completely at ease when my dog is in her care.
