“Christian was so good with my pup. He took to her immediately and based on the photos and videos he enjoyed his time with her. Christian was very responsive especially with me being a bit nervous about about my lil guy being cared for by someone new.”

“Stephanie and Luis were great with my dog, Shipley. I felt like I picked the best possible spot for him to stay while I was out of town. I will definitely rebook in the future!”

“Krista and Kira are WONDERFUL! Clearly great dog lovers and were so sweet with our senior tripod. He was clearly so happy and relaxed with them and that made being away stress free! Thank you SO MUCH!”

“Rut was absolutely phenomenal! I could sense her expertise from her well-crafted profile page. I have specific care instructions for my dog, and when I dropped him off before my trip, I noticed that Rut had already printed out the document to have a hard copy on hand. Throughout the day, she sent several updates with all the details I requested, confirming that she was diligently following my dog’s routine. Rut’s kindness and clear experience as a caregiver were evident in every interaction.”

“Rahel did a wonderful job with our girl Shirley! She sent pictures, gave us updates, and I could tell that our girl was happy! We will definitely be using Rahel again!”

“Once again, Christine takes the cake for giving our pup Brie the most amazing weekend! Brie had a wonderful time with Christine and friends, and Christine takes her health and safety seriously so that I never needed to worry about her and could enjoy the weekend away. Thanks to Christine for always being the very best! Highly recommend!”

“Erin is excellent. She took great care of my girl (my dog), responds quickly to questions and kept me updated with respect to how my dog) was doing. My dog seemed very content and relaxed with Erin. I highly recommend Erin and would use her again to take care of my dog.”

“Vania and her partner Andre are great sitters. Responsive and good communicators. This was my first time leaving Penny with someone and it could not have been smoother. It was obvious she had a great time.”

“Haydenn is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of my pup! He was great with my pup and when I picked Lily up, she was relaxed and happy. Haydenn is very communicative, as I received many updates during my pup’s stay! Thank you for everything!”


“Megan was such an amazing sitter! She watched our 10 year old Shiba, Rey, in her apartment for 4 days / nights! Rey has not stayed with a sitter in over 5 years, so we asked Megan to meet her two days before, and she agreed! We met on a walk and Rey loved her immediately! Rey had no troubles staying with Megan! Megan was super responsive and calm and sweet! She sent my husband and me several photos updates during each day and took such great care of Rey, who ate, slept, and went to the bathroom like she normally would! We are SO happy with our experience with Megan that we've already booked another stay with her, and we plan to continue to do so! Can't recommend Megan enough!”

“Katherin was AMAZING with Wrigley, so thoughtful and attentive. We received very thorough updates and she was quick so ask any questions she had. We had a bit of a snafu with her food and Katherin went above and beyond to make sure she had the right stuff to get through her stay. She was also very flexible with pick up and drop off which made everything with Wrigley’s stay super easy! Will definitely be re-booking for any future Wrigley needs!”


“Fantastic as per usual. Rachel cares so much about our sweet puppy. We never have to worry about him and we know he has such a great time with her. He is always so happy to see her!”

About: I am a true Capitol Hill dog lover and I have always had a strong passion for animals, mostly for dogs. I have been caring for dogs since I was child, taking care of my mother’s beloved shitzu. Taking care of her helped me acquire basic canine behavior and taught me the responsibility of taking care of a pet. Most recently I raised my own best friend, Gelato an English Bulldog. I gained my breeder experience with Gelato and cared for her and her 6 puppies, until they were rehomed at 8 months. I enjoy taking long walks, which I consider the ultimate stress reliever and best way to exercise. I have no problem getting my hands dirty. I have 20 years of experience in the customer service field and enjoy striving to provide the best experience to my clients. In my personal time I am spending time with my 2 little girls teaching them how to play sports, and of course how to be loving pet owners. Thank you for taking the time to visit my page! I’m currently working part time and will be available to walk most pets during early mornings hours during the week and mid day and evenings during the weekend. I definitely would like to know your pets temperament, and what might scare them. I know they will feel most comfortable at home but if they are with me, I’d like to keep a calm, pet friendly setting for them to be comfortable in.

About: I've been a dog person my whole life. Our family has shared our home with everything from standard poodles to an American Eskimo, so I've handled big personalities, high-maintenance coats, smart dogs who need a job, and gentle seniors who need patience and a soft place to land. We recently lost our beloved standard poodle, and while we're not ready for another dog of our own yet, we have a lot of love with nowhere to go. We'd be thrilled to pour it into yours. Your dog will be our only pet, which means undivided attention: no competing for the couch, the yard, or the treats. Speaking of the yard, it's fully enclosed, so there's plenty of room to sniff, play, and stretch out safely, and we're an easy walk from a nearby park for longer outings. Our home also includes a dog-adoring 7-year-old who has grown up around dogs and knows how to be calm and respectful with them, and all interactions are supervised. By day I run a national nonprofit (from our home), so I'm organized, responsive, and used to being trusted with things that matter to other people. You'll get prompt replies, photo updates, and a sitter who actually follows your instructions, whether that's a medication schedule, a specific feeding routine, or a nightly belly rub quota. I work from home, so your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. My day has a natural rhythm that suits most dogs: a morning walk or yard time before I start work, a midday break for a potty trip and some play, and a longer walk to the park in the late afternoon once the workday winds down. In between, your dog is welcome to nap at my feet, keep an eye on the squirrels from the window, or supervise my Zoom calls. Evenings and weekends are family time, which means more play, more attention, and more couch cuddles. I'm happy to follow your dog's existing schedule for meals, medications, and bedtime, since I know routine is what helps most dogs settle into a new place quickly. Your dog's safety and comfort come first in our home. We have a fully enclosed yard for supervised play and potty breaks, and we're a short walk from several parks for longer outings, always on leash unless you've told me otherwise. I do a quick check of gates and latches before every outing, and dogs are never left unattended outside. Inside, your dog has the run of our home and is welcome on the furniture unless you'd prefer they stay off. We've never crated our own dogs, but if a crate is what makes your pup feel safe and settled, I'm happy to use one. Just bring it along with their bed, food, and anything else that smells like home.

“Can't recommend Briana enough! She was fantastic with our little guy - taking him on adventures and making sure he got all his medications. She is super responsive, responsible and put our minds at ease during our time away. Will definitely book her again!”


“Jeison was amazing during my pup’s week-long stay with him! He took her on long walks and made sure she was comfortable and happy. The food I’d packed ran out, and Jeison went out of his way to make sure she was fed and healthy. Plus, he was very communicative with me and sent picture updates throughout the day. Would absolutely re-book petsitting with Jeison next time I’m out of town!”


“Kayla and Adam were wonderful hosts for our little Bonnie! This was Bonnie’s first time staying anywhere without us, but Kayla and Adam obviously love dogs and were simply great with her. Kayla sent reports with pictures several times a day, putting our minds at ease. And the fact that our dog, a very nervous and picky eater, was relaxed enough to eat on her first day told us very clearly that she was doing fine and felt at home with Kayla and her family. Thank you Kayla and Adam - we’ll be back!!”

Rut has cared for my dog on multiple occasions and consistently provided excellent attention. She maintains his routine, administers his medicine, and keeps him clean, healthy, and stimulated. She sends cute photos of my dog resting and napping, which reassures me that he feels comfortable and secure in her home.

Sunny took incredible care of our dog Huxley. She provided him with lots of love, tons of activity, and a safe environment. Sunny is very professional and clearly invested in providing good care, including medication and the demanding grooming requirements of a Doodle. We were able to book last minute, as well as organize pick-up and drop-off. We will definitely look to book Sunny again in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their dog!!

We felt like muchacho was in great hands with Kaylee and her partner! Our dog is a senior boy who requires medication and a very particular schedule. We’re always nervous to board him (as any pet parent usually is) but with kaylees constant pictures and updates, we felt relieved and that he was taken care of. They were very understanding and were very good at communicating and reading his bio and instructions. We would absolutely use them again!

Grace took amazing care of our pup Ollie while we were out of town for a week. Ollie had a bad UTI the day we left but Grace took great care of her, bathed her, administered antibiotics, and took her on as many potty breaks as she needed while she recovered. She also sent us plenty of updates and photos, which we appreciated. We are very grateful - despite being sick, it was clear that Ollie had a blast with Grace & Ramona! We highly recommend her !

Rachel was wonderful with my Maltese, who is very sweet but can be reactive on walks. She called me ahead of the booking to get an understanding of his routine and made me feel confident she could handle any issue that arose. She lives on a quiet block and was waiting out front for us so drop-off was easy and she was very sensitive to making him feel comfortable with the hand-off. She sent lots of photos — she’s really a good photographer! — from walks and the nearby park, which he was clearly loving. Rachel was very accommodating as I updated my arrival time and was again waiting out front for a very easy pick-up after a long drive. Really appreciated all her positive communication. She’s clearly an animal lover and I know my guy will enjoy staying with her again.
Robyn was a lifesaver by watching our dog Howie on very short notice. Even though Howie had newly begun having medical needs that required constant vigilance and a strict medication regimen, Robyn graciously and happily agreed to babysit him. She was so responsive and proactive and asked all the right questions about his needs, and Howie felt right at home with her. I can’t gush enough about how she came through for us, two strangers, in a critical moment. We will absolutely leave Howie with Robyn again and are so thankful to have found such a generous and compassionate sitter at such a stressful time

Donald and Jeffrey are absolutely wonderful! We just relocated to DC and worried about finding a trusted dog sitter for our French Bulldog, Winnie- thank goodness we found Donald and Jeffrey! They love Winnie like their own, and we are at complete ease while she is in their care. We are so grateful!

Lisa was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our dogs, and we could tell how happy and comfortable they were with her. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. We’re so grateful for her care and attention, and we would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️
