“Kiirsten was a great communicator before and during her care of my old, blind dog. I was confident that the dog was in a good place, which made my vacation stress free. Easy drop off and pick up. The experience couldn't have been better.”
“From the moment we dropped off the pups we knew they were going to be in good of hands and receive the best care from McKenzie! One of our dogs can be very high maintenance/energy and she did an incredible job making sure he was thoroughly tired out each day. We will look her up again if we ever need sitting in the future!”
“Maureen was absolutely fantastic! She sent us pictures every day and reassured us our dog was having a great time. Would absolutely recommend her as a sitter any time”
“Everything about this experience was positive. They took such good care of my big baby. We were traveling for a really sad funeral, and leaving our big baby Moose behind was really hard for all of us. Zachary and Kaci sent exactly enough photos to let us know he was having the time of his life, which put my mind at ease and also made my kids smile. Pick up and drop off were quick. They were flexible and we will definitely book with them again.”
“I highly recommend Jessie. She was so great to our dog Ivy; she took her on walks, car rides, to Bachman's, and gave Ivy treats (approved by us). Jessie sent us updates every single night with lots of pictures. Ivy definitely missed Jessie once she got back home 🥰”
“Valentina did such a wonderful job taking care of our corgi! She sent daily updates and always responded promptly. She spoiled our corgi with walks across the stone arch bridge and many tummy rubs.”
“She is very patient and is understanding & affordable . very nice and kind to my animal I would highly recommend her and looking forward to bringing him for future dog sitting !”
“Celia is the best! This was our first extended boarding experience and will definitely book with Celia again. She maintained their feeding schedule and made sure Mildred took her med twice a day. We were able to truly enjoy our vacation knowing our cats were being well taken care of. Our cats have very different personalities and she was accommodating to both and they may even like each other a little more now. Thank you so much Celia!!”
“We have had David watch Harley many time for boarding.. David is a dog whisper. He loves dogs... The last time he watch Harley there was a really good storm with a lot of thunder. Our dog is a scaredy-cat when these storm come through. David went over and above his services as a border.... He and his wife are very resourceful and knowledgeable about dogs. We dont want to have anyone else watch our dog... Thank You David.....”
“Doc and Heather were perfect hosts for Augie's stay. They kept in daily contact with us, sent numerous pictures every day and accommodated a last minute change in plans as well. Thank you, Doc and Heather!”
“Cassidy was very responsive and gave up regularly updates. She made sure that our pup got regular exercise throughout the day. Will be booking with her again.”
“Lori watched our fur baby, Nala, for a week while we were out of state. Lori is so kind and kept us informed on a daily basis with photos and messages. Nala was smiling in all of the photos as she was happy and fit right into Lori's family loving on her. We definitely recommend Lori to others and will use her again.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with someone besides a family member. I was nervous, but Nyree was great!! She made me feel comfortable and that Tsuki was in good hands. She was very accommodating and understanding of Tsuki’s food schedule and needs. I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for their pet! 🙂”
“Our 7 month old large puppy had a fantastic stay with Lydia! We loved getting updates from her with adorable pictures. Lydia went above and beyond by brushing our dog a few times while he was there which was incredibly helpful since he has a high maintenance coat. We will definitely have him stay with her again.”
“Cathy was an amazing provider!! I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She was kind and took great care of our dog Riley. She did walks and gave updates daily with pictures. I have never felt so worry free having someone care for our Riley. Would highly recommend Cathy to anyone!!”
About: Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies and senior dogs with special needs. I have experience administering oral medications and providing compassionate care for senior dogs with hearing and vision impairments. I understand the extra patience, consistency, and gentle attention they need to feel secure. I work from home three days a week, which allows me to provide plenty of companionship, supervision, and personalized attention throughout the day. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine, so your dog will never feel like an afterthought. Whether it's regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply relaxing together, I'm able to give each dog the time and care they deserve. My flexible schedule helps me maintain a consistent routine, ensuring your pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Although I do not have a fenced in yard, I do have plenty of green space for your dog to do their business or run around for exercise. I am able to take them for walks around the neighborhood or relax and chill on the couch.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Columbia Heights is $45

Love Cassie! She was perfect for watching our Tristan and can't thank her enough. I just had a really good feeling about Cassie after reading her profile, then meeting her a week before leaving my 14 yr old cat Tristan with her for 3 weeks. I will never want anyone else to care for Tristan. Super pleased with Cassie!
Susan was absolutely amazing, we cannot recommend enough. Excellent communication throughout the stay with updates and pictures. Susan has an obvious care and warmth for animals which gave us peace of mind and reassurance. We found the perfect place for our little guy to be when we are away. Thank you 😊
We had a great experience with Jailene! Our dog was very comfortable and clearly well cared for during his stay. She sent us regular photo and text updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away, and was always available if we wanted to check in. She was also very accommodating when our flight was unexpectedly delayed and we needed to extend his stay. We really appreciated how attentive and caring she was, and would definitely book with her again!
Frances is so great, she took such great care of our golden retriever Charlie. Frances’ dog Luna is extremely sweet and had a blast welcoming Charlie into their home. We really appreciated all the updates about their adventures and how Charlie was doing throughout the stay.
Such a wonderful and helpful person. My dog had to be seen by a vet while staying with Kristy. I am forever grateful for the care, patience and attention she gave to the situation so I was able to remain away from home without worrying about my fur baby. Her level of care is beyond five-stars. Simply one of the best 😍🫶👍

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
