“I pray that this message finds you well. I want to take this time to share my heartfelt appreciation for Sheila Washington. She has cared for several of our furry family members for over 20 years. She has been nothing less than remarkable. From the way she interacts with our pets, to her attentiveness and reliability, I am confident that she provides the best care possible. Not only does she ensure that our pets are fed and walked, but she also spends time playing and connecting with each of them. I wholeheartedly recommend Sheila Washington to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Her love for dogs shines through in everything she does, and I am beyond grateful to have found someone who has treated our pets over the years as if they were her own. Thank you for considering Sheila Washington for your pet care needs. She’s a blessing.”

“Ryan is absolutely fantastic. An amazing communicator and very responsible and kind. Highly recommend him!”

“Sombo is absolutely amazing! See has a super quick response time and she sends a lot of pictures and videos to put my mind at ease on the first visit. My fur baby, Phoebe, can be very standoffish with people but after 1 visit, Phoebe was trying to jump out the car to get to Sombo and her doggie friend. Working with her has been a great experience.”

“What amazing people/pet sitters Jelisa and Ayanna are! I left my 5 year old shitzu with them for an extended weekend and was so pleased with the care that she received. They made sure to keep her cleaned, fed, and active while they kept her. Very happy with the check ins and communications that they held with me (I definitely wanted to know everything lol). 10/10. Would recommend!”

“Karen just loves the pups and the pups love themselves some Karen. Her two dogs played with the pups the WHOLE day and both pups came home wiped out. And slept the rest of the night. She is on my short list of sitters to call to watch the pups”

“Nicole and her family were so welcoming to our puppy! Our puppy has a wonderful time with Nicole. Nicole responded promptly to our messages and was accommodating to our needs.”

“James loves animals and has always had a dog or 2 around the house. His current dog Bailey gets along well with my 2 dogs when we visit. His fenced in yard and house are set up well for pets. He is responsible and honors commitments. He has a flexible schedule and works from home.”

About: Over the past five years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and even reptiles. I’ve developed a strong understanding of their individual needs, from feeding and grooming to managing behavior and health concerns. My experience includes administering medications, providing daily walks for dogs, maintaining clean living spaces, and ensuring pets are mentally and physically stimulated. I’ve also learned how to handle emergencies, offering first aid when necessary and staying calm in stressful situations. Through it all, building trust with both the pets and their owners has been the most rewarding part of my pet care journey. Pet care seamlessly fits into my weekly routine by becoming an essential and enjoyable part of my day. Each morning, I make sure to feed and check on my pets, followed by a walk or playtime session to keep them active and happy. Throughout the day, I ensure their living spaces are clean, fresh water is available, and I spend time bonding with them through cuddles or play. In the evenings, I maintain a consistent feeding schedule and engage in more relaxed activities, like brushing or quiet companionship. This routine has become second nature, allowing me to balance pet care with my other responsibilities while ensuring my pets receive the attention and love they need. Caring for pets in my home and my clients’ homes involves a mix of consistency, attention to detail, and adaptability to the unique needs of each pet. I follow a structured schedule that includes feeding, walks, playtime, and grooming to ensure pets feel secure and comfortable. My home is pet-friendly, with safe spaces for rest, clean litter boxes, and pet-proofed areas to prevent accidents. monitor their health closely, providing medications or special care if needed, and give plenty of mental stimulation with toys or activities.

“Sweet with my anxious dog who had never been left with a new person before. Kept me updated and was kind the entire time. All i could ask for!”

“Alicia was a pleasure. She took the initiative for us to meet ahead of the day. She quickly became comfortable with my dog Iris. She was relaxed and flexible. I will not hesitate to use her again.”

“Toby had another great day at doggy daycare with Diego! I received tons of update videos and photos throughout the day. Diego takes care of my pup as if he were his own. I’ve used him several times and will continue to do so!”

“I couldn’t be more grateful for the care Stephanie provided for my dog. From the moment I met them, I felt confident that my dog would be in excellent hands. Stephanie went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable, happy, and well-cared for. They kept me updated with pictures and messages, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. It’s clear they have a genuine love for animals, and my dog absolutely adored them. I will definitely be booking with Stephanie again in the future—highly recommend!”

“Malvi and Andrej are fantastic sitters. For each and every dog, they take a personalized approach that is rare to find in many boarding environments. They have a safe and spacious backyard and home for hosting pups that’s so conveniently located right in DC. I’m a nervous dog mom, but have zero worries leaving my dog Benny in their care. Most importantly, Benny thrives in their home and it’s easy to tell that they care for him as their own. You really can’t do better, book them now!!”

“Amy valued Sixx while he was sick. She’s honest and trustworthy.”

“Lanitra is super responsive and welcoming. She encourages a meet and greet before the first visit and allowed us to see where our pup would be staying. Regularly takes our pup to the park for play. Drift, her pup, is an amazing playmate and got along with pur dog immediately. 10/10 recommend.”

“If you truly love your furbaby and don't want to stress about their care and safety, Stella is the right sitter for you! The level of care and professionalism she brings is unmatched. I felt confident leaving my Syder with her. 10/10 🔥 Thanks Stella!”
