“Emily is such a great sitter she is accomidating and understadning. Winston loves going there and once he realizes where he is doing he tries pulling me to her building. Safe to say he likes his day care time with Emily”


“Sonja had such a gentle demeanor with our 12 week old pup. From the start, she asked for a meet and greet, which was a very professional endeavor and immediately put her head and shoulders above other Rover sitters.”


“Took such wonderful care of our boy. As this was our first time leaving him alone we were a bit nervous but Leonard and Kathryn made it so easy and anxiety free. Will absolutely be booking again!!”


“I can’t wait until my Joey-Boy can visit Hk again! It was my first time leaving him and I can tell he had a GREAT time! He went to sleep right away as soon as we got in the car :). I received videos, pictures, and updates throughout his stay. So grateful for the sweet care my puppy received today!”


About: Experienced in caring for dogs, cats, and small pets—feeding, walking, grooming, administering medication, and providing loving attention. Reliable, attentive, and comfortable with pets of all ages and needs. I am a full time accountant that works from home with plenty of time and flexibility to accommodate pups needs. I am available weekdays and weekends. I live in a smoke free, child free apartment complex with my husband. I can only care for one pet at the time and I do not have any other pets.

“Fiona was great and I’m glad she was able to take Jäger when my request was made a little last minute. Jäger is high energy and was exhausted when we got back home which is amazing. He’s usually a little high energy in his first day somewhere new and i feel he was in great hands! I’ll definitely use Fiona again!”


About: I’ve been dog sitting for friends and strangers alike ever since I graduated and moved to DC in 2019! It all started because I had such a deep love for dogs, but was not yet ready to have one of my own. Nowadays, I share an adorable little mutt with my boyfriend, and we split the care for her fairly evenly. Because of this, if you’re interested in boarding your pet, they need to be friendly with other dogs; ours absolutely LOVES them. Otherwise, I am happy to pet sit at your residence. Additionally, I have experience with elderly dog care and will cater to whatever their needs are. I’m a full-time corporate girlie with a flexible, hybrid work schedule. I’m normally in the office 2-3 days/week, but can work from home the entire duration of your pet’s stay, if that is desired. I’m happy to work with you to create the exact level of care and attention you desire for your doggo. Your pet would have free rein of the house while we’re home and would be kept in a separate room/ crate than our dog when we’re away. We do have a yard, although it’s not fenced in, so we let our dog run around on a 50 ft leash in the backyard; we could do the same for your dog!

“Jisoo was wonderful with my dog (again)! He remembered her immediately from our last visit a couple of months ago and was extremely excited to see her. Jisoo sent me lots of pictures and videos throughout the day to keep me updated, and I could see that my boy was having a great time. I will definitely be booking daycare with Jisoo again in the future!”


“Chang was wonderful in watching Mia, who immediately seemed at ease with her. Chang was able to get her to relax and eat some of her food and also treated Mia to a pup smoothie bowl that she enjoyed. We also appreciated Chang's prompt responses to our messages and all the pictures and updates she shared. We're glad we found Chang on short notice.”


“We had a great experience with Shaina! She was flexible with our fluid schedule, accommodating, communicated quickly, and took good care of our girl. Would definitely recommend!”


About: Animal lover without one of my own right now! I have grown up with animals my whole life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, and bunnies. I live an active lifestyle and am looking to get out of my home office more. I work from home and have a flexible schedule throughout the day to help you out!

I am a very responsible caretaker and will follow whatever instructions you give. I am comfortable with many personalities of animals.

“Amal and Pepper know how to make other peoples’ dogs feel welcomed and cared for. This is the second time I have left my dog with Amal, and it’s been another great experience. Definitely recommend to other owners in the area.”


“Sabrina is awesome! Our dog can be a little anxious or defensive, but Sabrina made him feel right at home and by the time we arrived to pick him up, they’d become fast friends. Highly recommend doggy daycare with Sabrina.”


About: As a college student who has grown up with dogs, caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. My family used to have three dogs of different sizes, each with their own unique personality and needs, which taught me how to provide individualized care and attention. Now, I have one amazing dog who keeps me active and reminds me every day why I love working with animals. From regular walks and playtime to feeding and ensuring their overall well-being, I’ve gained valuable hands-on experience over the years. I’m confident in my ability to care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’d love the chance to provide your furry friend with the same love and care I give my own! With my part-time job and few classes online, I spend most of my time at home, giving me plenty of time to shower your pet with love and care. I care for pets by providing them with plenty of love, attention, and personalized care to meet their unique needs. I ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. This includes regular feeding, playtime, walks, and cuddles, as well as following any specific instructions provided by their owner. I treat every pet as if they were my own!

“Forrest & Stephanie were amazing! They really welcomed our dog, Beignet, into their family for the day. They updated us with pictures throughout the day & Beignet was a happy pup!”


“Ashley took great care of our dog and kept us updated with photos and information about her stay. She was responsive and flexible; we are happy to have found her!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—starting with the family dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters I grew up with. Over the past 20 years, I’ve provided trusted pet care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels, as well as cats with all kinds of personalities. I’ve raised two dogs of my own and currently live with a much-loved cat. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and deep understanding of animal behavior. Whether it’s a senior dog needing extra support, a shy cat who takes time to warm up, or a high-energy pup who needs structure and play, I adapt to each pet’s unique needs. I’m also experienced with basic puppy training and feel comfortable administering medication when needed. I treat every pet like family—with plenty of love, consistency, and attention to detail—because I know how much they mean to you. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for—whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’m organized, flexible, and committed to giving each pet the time and attention they deserve. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. --- Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort come first. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to ensure a smooth, low-stress experience. In your home, I respect your space, follow all instructions carefully, and keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos. If pets are in my home, they’ll enjoy a calm, pet-friendly environment where they’re never left alone for long and always treated like part of the family. --- ### My Pet Care Expertise My life has always been deeply intertwined with animals. From chattering birds and curious hamsters to graceful fish, independent cats, and loyal dogs of all sizes, I've had the joy of growing up with a diverse range of beloved family pets. This lifelong immersion in animal companionship, including personally owning both small and large dogs alongside my current cat, has given me invaluable insight into their unique personalities and needs. Today, my passion for pets continues through the routine care I provide for our **neighbors' and friends' dogs and cats**. This hands-on, consistent experience means I'm adept at maintaining routines, understanding different temperaments, and ensuring every furry guest feels safe, comfortable, and truly loved in a family environment. You can trust that your pet's well-being is my absolute priority. ---
