Dog Sitting District Heights

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my English Bulldog, who I’ve helped raise since 2020, so I understand the daily care and attention dogs need. I’m also very familiar with cats, thanks to helping with my cousin’s cat, so I feel confident caring for both cats and dogs. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available after 1 p.m. on Monday - Friday. I’m usually free on Sundays as well. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I give my own. You can trust me to be responsible, reliable, and to keep your pets safe and happy while you’re away.

About: Im a DC based management consultant with a soft spot for “furry baes”! I’m an experienced pet owner looking to help out my neighbors. You can count on me to be affectionate, trustworthy, and professional. When I’m not working or pet sitting, you can find me at a gallery opening, a new restaurant, at the local movie house, or spending time with my cat Javier. I fostered a dog this summer, and although I loved her dearly, I found her a fantastic home and taught her a few tricks! I love animals of all kinds, and they love me back! Contact me to schedule a visit. I’d love to meet your furry family member! I was unfortunately laid off last year from my consulting career. But that’s ok! I now have more time to connect with nature, decompress, and nurture my inner animal lover! I believe the best sitters and walkers enter your home with good energy, as animals often recognize when a human is well intentioned. I know how to approach pets, and most importantly, wait for them to approach me.

“Vivi helped me on short notice! She exhibited genuine concern for my animals and was quick to communicate. I truly appreciate her caring and confidence. I have no doubts that I will use her in the future.”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I currently have an American Staffordshire Terrier (AmStaff) and have had several dogs throughout my life, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and consistency that come with caring for a dog. I’ve also spent time learning about dog training and behavior, which has helped me better understand how dogs communicate, learn, and respond to their environment. I’m comfortable recognizing different temperaments and adjusting my approach to help each dog feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I currently work Monday through Friday from 8 AM–4 PM, but I’m available after work and on weekends to assist with your canine companions. I’m happy to provide dependable, loving care and give your dog the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I’ll work with your schedule and do my best to make things convenient and stress-free for both you and your dog! I have a fenced-in yard and a friendly dog at home who loves to play and make new friends! Your dog will have a safe space to enjoy some outdoor time, play, and get plenty of attention. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or visiting yours, I’ll treat your home and your dog with the same respect, love, and care that I give my own. My goal is to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

“Bessie was fantastic with Pip and Taz! She took great care of everything—from their feeding routine and litter box to spending time playing and hanging out with them. She was extremely communicative, sent plenty of photos and updates, and made it easy to feel confident that they were well cared for while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Bessie and will definitely use her again!”

About: Hi! We are Lauren and Tinoi, two passionate and dependable pet lovers who believes every pet deserves to feel safe, happy, and loved even when you’re away. We’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years, and at one point were the fur parents of a total of 9 dogs at once, so we're very comfortable managing multiple pets, different personalities, and varying energy levels. Our love for animals runs deep, and our (well Lauren's lol) long term dream is to retire on a few acres of land where we can rescue and care for as many dogs as possible. With us, your pet will get more than just the basics. We provide attentive care, fun walks, and plenty of affection to make sure their routine stays consistent and stress free. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship, we tailor our care to your pet’s unique needs and personality. We understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so we prioritize clear communication and regular updates, including photos, to give you peace of mind. You can count on us to treat your pet like my own, with patience, kindness, and lots of love 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine! Lauren works remotely from home and has a very flexible schedule, which allows her to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, not just during quick check-ins. Tinoi works a 9–5 schedule, and together we plan to share the care to ensure pets always have companionship, supervision, and support throughout the day. We are available for walks, playtime, feeding, and check ins, and can adjust our routine to meet each pet’s specific needs. Whether your pet needs frequent potty breaks, extra companionship, or a steady schedule, we’re able to provide that. We’re also flexible for boarding and pet sitting during both the week and weekends, making it easy to accommodate your schedule. Caring for pets isn’t something we fit in, it’s something we prioritize, so your pet will always receive reliable, attentive care 🐾 We provide care exclusively in our home, where pets enjoy a safe and comfortable environment with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. We also have two friendly dogs who can offer companionship, and we always take time to ensure proper, gradual introductions so all pets feel comfortable and relaxed. Lauren works from home, which allows her to provide consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. Tinoi helps share in the care as well, and together we make sure each dog receives regular supervision, exercise, and affection. We do our best to maintain each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. For safety and structure, we require that dogs are crate trained and comfortable being crated when we are away from home and overnight. This helps ensure they stay safe, secure, and well rested in a familiar routine. Our goal is always to create a calm, loving environment where every pet feels at home 🐾

“Kordell accepted the request with short notice, and patiently dealt with a glitch in him getting the keys on the first day, but did not change the level of care and communication for Rory. I appreciate him and his wife Rebecca!”

“Jayla has a very nice vibe about her. She followed my instructions and was always on time. I was out of the country for a week and I didn’t worry about my little kitty once. I plan to call on Jayla every time I’m away in the future. She’s EXCELLENT. I highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 6 years and have experience with both dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and personalities. Over the years I’ve cared for multiple family dogs, including my own dog since 2019, my mom’s two dogs, and my husband’s dog. I also cared for my two cats and helped raise their three kittens from birth until they were rehomed. I’ve been an animal lover since my first dog at the age of 2. I’ve always been loving and playful with them and when they misbehaved i’d only cage them temporarily so they know what they did was wrong without popping the dog. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, maintaining routines, and providing companionship for pets ranging from young animals to seniors. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care is currently my primary focus, which allows me to provide flexible and reliable care for your pets. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, medication reminders, and companionship throughout the day. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I do my best to follow their normal routines to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. Before care begins, I take time to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, preferences, and any special instructions. During visits and walks, I remain attentive to their needs and surroundings, ensuring they receive proper care, exercise, fresh water, and plenty of affection. I respect both your pet and your home as if they were my own and believe in maintaining open communication through updates and photos. My goal is to create a positive, safe, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

About: As a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience raising and training a Cocker Spaniel, a Pitbull Terrier, and a Rottweiler from puppyhood into their senior years, my goal is to provide patient and dependable care tailored to your pet's unique personality. Whether they need playtime, walks, cuddles, or just a calm place to stay, they will always feel safe, loved, and cozy while in my care. I currently work full-time in Alexandria, VA, but I work remotely on Mondays and Wednesdays. I do have open availability on weekends, and I am available to board throughout the weekend into Monday. My care is tailored to the individual needs of every animal. My apartment complex is incredibly pet-friendly with a large area right outside my unit for long walks and playtime. We also have a grooming station in case your fur baby needs a little TLC before going home. As an active young adult and someone familiar with the challenges of the puppy years - I am also available to walk dogs as frequently as needed. I also have no problem administering medication or patiently supporting elderly or special needs animals.

About: Haven't had a pet in almost 10 years so I might be a little rusty but I have over 15 years experience with a medium/big dog (chow chow) and as well as a little dog (pekingese), Feral cat (bombay) trained to love and be loved and to be happy & friendly. As an trustworthy and friendly sitter and animal lover especially dogs, cats next. I have plenty room to still learn more and experience more, the patience I have with fur babies is because they're pretty much like our children. Smoke free, cage free unless trained and requires to be in a crate, walks every 4 -6 hours during the day until the early night and sometimes late night, unless pet has special requirements to take more walks it can be provided. And plenty of space and play time. Backyard is unfenced plenty of run around in the back area of the location area, plenty of nearby parks, basement is currently semi unfinished with no furniture with plenty of roam around room, with potential for setup area to cool off, eat, lay and relax, as well as play with access to the back area. If fur baby has separation, anxiety issue will try to help dog with that please notify if dog needs extra attention. ALSO KNOW AN EXCELLENT DOG TRAINER WHICH IS SEPARATE FROM THIS CAN SEND YOU THE INFORMATION TO MAKE YOUR FUR BABY THE PERFECT GUEST IN SOMEONE'S HOME AND YOURS! (ISPEAKDOG) I'm currently working full/ part time with a flexible schedule on the road, and kina awkward sleep schedule where im up most of the time and random times but i able to keep up with a set schedule. so I do have flexibility with dog walks, play time, feed time, and down time will preferable be of course at night where I maybe either sleep or out working for a few hours but not interrupting fur baby resting hours unless special attention is needed also do have a back up person on site incase of emergencies. I currently have no pets again as of yet other than fish ... but provide a clean, spacious unfinished basement with windows is where animal will typically lounge at, unless it's one or two small little dogs that have anxiety mishaps. dogs may have the option to roam the house, but not beds they will have their own blanket or doggy bed to relax on. also available is a backyard entrance to let dogs out to use the rest room unfenced backyard so if you have a dog that is a runner or a trackstar a proper leash or harness with extensions is needed to let the fur baby roam and run without getting lost so fur babies will be able to play in the large back field area. PLEASE NOTE If you know your fur babies do not get along with others please let me know so i can try to keep them separate or get them use to the pack even with a watchful eye they are like kids they are likely to get in a fight and im not responsible for them incidents I promote safety, peace, playfulness and award good behavior, A space for eat, lay,and play, and time and energy for walks, and exercise and care!
