House Sitting In Columbia Heights West

“Renee was lovely. She seemed to have a visceral, almost immediate rapport with my dog, Romeo. Perhaps because she wasn’t glued to a smartphone or distracted by any screen whatsoever, Renee responded promptly to my queries and communications. A very unusual scenario these days I think. Her opinions and observations stemmed from years of experience and success in the field and were a comfort to hear. I would gladly hire her again.”

“Andrea is a great caretaker of pets and homes. She followed all directions and even cleaned up when one of my elderly cats didn’t make it to the litter box. She washed all the bowls and left them for me, as well as taking out the trash and making sure the cans ended up in the recycling. I will definitely book her again!”

“Wonderful sitter for our two dogs! Great communication, dependable, and clearly cares about them. We came home to happy pups and couldn’t be more pleased.”

“Kyle was awesome – he took great care of our dog Maya and gave plenty of updates. He also dealt with some unexpected issues with our home, and even helped coordinate building maintenance to start on repairs. We'll absolutely use Kyle as a sitter again.”

“With Wayne, both my pooch and my home were in excellent hands while I was away for several nights. I also appreciated his responsiveness to my texts and the daily updates and photos every morning. A stress-free experience that I look forward to repeating on my next trip!”

“Ajia was amazing with our two boys. She is very communicative, leaving us with no worries during our trip, super responsive to our messages and took great care of my apartment. I think we found our permanent walker.”

“Always amazing with my dogs! One of my pups was suffering from an upset stomach the night before my trip and Oriana went out of her way to feed her a special diet of pumpkin all week. I really appreciate when a sitter goes out of their way to take care of my senior pets 🙏❤️”

“Orianne is the best! She is so sweet, caring, calm. Madeline was comforted while we were out, which means the world to us. Madeline was happy to see us, and we could tell she was relaxed. Orianne will be our first call should we need a pet sitter again!”

“Emma was fantastic. She was super responsive and kept us updated on our dogs throughout our entire trip. She went above and beyond for our pups and 100% will be booking her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child, I’ve owned a fish, 7+ rabbits, 2 hamsters, a turtle, a chick, and currently own 2 dogs. I’ve petsit for mainly friends, I’ve housed a dog until we could find him a home. I also have experience with Guinea pigs and cats. My current schedule is very open and I have lots of availability! I am available almost daily now and will have lots of time for your fur babies. When I walk dogs I love to play with them and pet them before doing anything else so that they feel more comfortable with me being in their home. Then I clean their diapers and wash/replace their food bowls. Then I will take them for a 30min-1 hour walk and when we return back home I like to give them play time if time allows.

“There’s nothing better than coming home to your dog after a long trip especially when he’s calm and relaxed because he was well taken care of. Juan allowed me this joy. It was the first time I’ve used him and Romeo took to him right away. Juan updated me daily and was responsive to messages. He also left my house in great condition. Thank you for taking care of my baby. We’ll be seeing you again!!”

“Vivian stepped in as a last-minute replacement for another sitter and did a great job watching my two dogs. They seemed happy and well cared for, she followed all the routines and instructions and gave my older dog his medications. Would definitely book with Vivian again!”

Regan O.

“Liliana is so caring with my dog! Normally he is nervous around others but with her he’s totally relaxed, tummy and tongue out and all! She’s also willing to go the extra miles for him if we need her to! She’s our first choice !”

About: My experience includes being the sole dog watcher for my friend's German Shepherd, where I was fully responsible for his care from start to finish. That experience showed me just how much attentiveness and trust goes into looking after someone else's pup. Safety and mindfulness are always my top priorities. I keep a close eye on the environment, stay tuned into the dog's behavior, and make sure their routine stays as normal as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease. You can count on regular updates and photos, and I always have emergency vet info on hand just in case. I treat every dog like they're my own — because honestly, that's just how I roll. I currently work full time, so my availability fluctuates week to week — but I'm typically free by 4pm on weekdays and can accommodate evening visits. I also have occasional weekdays off and am always available on Sundays. I'm happy to talk through your schedule and see what works for both of us! Safety is always my first priority — I do a quick check of doors and windows when I arrive and stay mindful of exits, especially with cats who might try to slip out. I know how easily that can happen, so I'm always careful. I keep the environment calm and low-stress for every pet. With cats, I never force interaction — if they want to hide for the first hour, that's totally fine. I let them set the pace and engage on their terms. With small dogs, I'm equally mindful of their surroundings, making sure they're not in situations that could feel overwhelming or unsafe for their size.

“We had Kylee stay at our house to take care of our two puppies on the weekend. She is very conscientious in her duties and responded to an issue by asking the on call vet for advice. We were extremely happy with her care.”

“Camila was so easy to work with and treated our pup and home so well! She was personable, relaxed, and flexible. Thank you Camila - Squire loved you!”

“Brianna treated my dogs like they were her own. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation with no worries. In fact, I think the dogs were a little disappointed when she left and I came home.”
