“Rachael was fantastic walking our dog, and on relatively short notice too. Very communicative, good with updates and photos, and clearly has a natural way with animals - our pup warmed up to her immediately! Highly recommend.”

“Super great and attentive. Kashew is a high energy dog and a little reactive on walks but that was never a problem for Shahnaz. Great communication always provided a picture update. Would definitely book again!”

About: Hi there! My name is Khariss, and I’m a journalism major at Howard University. I have a passion for multimedia storytelling, but I also have a natural love for pet care. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and unique health needs. Growing up, I was always the person every dog gravitated toward. Even the shy ones trusted me. My childhood dog, Elsie, an Olde English Bulldogge, was my shadow. As she got older, I took on the responsibility of giving her medication, cleaning her eyes, and making sure she stayed comfortable and well cared for. Leaving for college was tough because I knew how much attention she needed. My family did a great job, but I understood the level of care required to truly support a dog’s well-being. That experience shaped the way I approach every pet I look after. I treat them with the same patience, love, and attention I gave Elsie. As a caregiver, my goal is to meet each dog where they are. I pay close attention to their personality, needs, and energy level. My family recently adopted two Aussie Doodle puppies, so I am very familiar with high-energy dogs and can definitely keep up. I would love the chance to care for your fur baby and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits into my weekly routine because I keep dedicated time open for walks and drop ins. I’m available on Mondays after 1, Thursdays after 1, Wednesdays after 4:30, and all day Friday. I’m also very flexible on weekends and can adjust to what your dog needs. I provide walks and drop ins. I care for pets in home by giving fresh water, food when needed, playtime, and a solid walk. I also keep the routine consistent to what your baby is accustomed to, and make sure they each get focused attention and care.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire childhood. I absolutely love animals and the joy they bring to my life. I would love the opportunity to make your animals feel safe and comfortable as they have always done for me! I am currently unemployed but looking for a full-time job. In the meantime, I have a very open schedule for drop-ins, walks, and boarding. Any changes to my schedule will be communicated promptly! I have experience caring for animals at all stages. Puppies and kittens, crate training, and grown up animals. I feel very comfortable helping at all stages! My home is very secure and would be a great environment for animals. I live in a safe neighborhood that I am comfortable walking dogs in.

“Thank you for taking such good care of Elph and constantly checking in with me about any concerns you had. You are one of the best walkers she has had! Take care 😊”

“Pauline walked/fed our senior dog during the holidays and was so great! She made our dog feel comfortable, was super communicative and sent lots of pictures, and put our minds at ease while we were on vacation during the colder days of the year. Will definitely book with Pauline again in the future - thank you!”

About: Hi, if you need help with your fur baby, I am ready. I have been a cat mom for 8 years. I love to take care of cats and dogs, and when I see I stray cat, I try always to help it, keeping it feed and contacting rescue groups. I have experience taking care of dogs, as I help sitting for a friend's dog from time to time I am currently working with flexible schedules which allow me to take care of your fur baby. I am available for pet sitting and walks, usually from 9 am to 4 pm, just let me know and I will be glad to help you. I will be glad to follow your instructions on how to behave in front of your pet(s) and will take good care of it, paying special attention to it and its environment so it feels at ease

About: We’ve both had dogs in our family since we were young and we have our very own, paçoca! She’s a nova scotia duck toller. Her name means little peanut in portuguese and nothing describes her better than that. we love nothing more than to be around dogs. We would love to care for yours! We both work a hybrid schedule and at least one of us is always available to care for, play, and walk pets as many times as needed. We can provide your dog with the exercise they may need, whether it is a morning run, long walk in the afternoon, or dog park visit. We live in a pet-friendly two bedroom apartment with lots of light and space. Dogs we’ve cared for prior really enjoyed laying on the couch/their beds and getting some sun. We live very close to Logan Circle, which is a great, pleasant and green space in downtown DC for dogs to walk and play with other dogs. We love incorporating the pets’ routines into our own and can adapt as needed. Taking them on walks during the day is a great opportunity to take work breaks, get some fresh air, and enjoy the day. Our apartment is spacious and gets lots of sunlight, which the dogs love! It’s also close to lots of nice green areas such as Logan Circle or the S street dog park!

“If I could give Catherine 100 stars I would! She was so flexible and accommodating with a last minute emergency, and so sweet with my pup. Definitely going to be a repeat customer :)”

“Jerry has been phenomenal with Hudson - he is very punctual, communicative and went out of his way to make sure Hudson was taken care of. He is very attentive to Hudson’s needs and behaviors and always takes the time to inform me about anything I need to know. I recommend Jerry to anyone looking for peace of mind and great care”
