“Irania is respectful, sweet, and responsible. She was extremely punctual and always kept me up to date with exactly what was going on. My dog is 90lbs of playful energy, but that didn't phase Irania. They bonded instantly. I couldn't have asked for a more reliable sitter/walker. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking looking for pet care they can count on.”


“Vanessa is great with my 9month old dog and my dog adores her. I have never seen my dog warm up to someone so quickly. I can tell that she genuinely has a huge heart for dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”


“Tara was stellar. She provides the right amount of communication, knowledgeable about the app, and very reliable! Our dog was comfortable with her pretty quickly and looked forward to their walks while we were out of town. Highly recommend her services.”


About: I have 13 years of experience raising my little Bella. I got her at 19 I’m 32 now and she’s has developed into a shy but feisty, playful , rambunctious and healthy baby. Through our development I’ve learned how to walk, feed, bath, and take care of over all health. I’ve also learned how to spot when she’s unwell, trying to communicate when she needs or want something, and when to give her space. I have no professional experience, but have grown to specialize in handling anxious / fearful dogs and the barkers of our society if and when they’re comfortable around me. I have a full time job Monday - Friday and am a part time student . My homework load is pretty light so I usually have weekends available and my dog likes to go with me places so if the client is comfortable with her around I’d love to bring her to work with me! I live in an apartment so hosting all types of dogs would be difficult. if I am at a clients home I will treat as if it my own by mankind sure the dog is comfortable, had water , fed at his/ hers regular time, play with them and make sure I’m making the most of our time together to bond so both the client and dog I can build that trust over time.

About: I've been around pets all my life, and have watched my parents puppy on multiple occasions. I treat all pets as my own, with love! I work from home Monday through Friday so my schedule is very open. I'm only away in the evenings for a couple of hours for my sons muay thai practice. I have a home with a big fenced backyard for your pups to run around and enjoy. I only have 1 senior cat that keeps to himself.

“Always takes great care of my dog Misty. Makes sure she's feed and plays with her. Best sitter I've had.”


“Thank you so much Joanne for watching our girl. You are amazing!!!”


About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 7 and have always enjoyed every second of it. From the puppy stage with biting, to hyper teens, to senior dogs requiring extra care, I’ve done it all. As a past dog owner myself, I understand the importance of getting a trustworthy and caring sitter that is capable of providing even those small services that are unique to your pup. Do they need specific music to fall asleep? A home cooked meal for their special appetite? A weird food combination to get their medication down? I’ll do it all and with a smile! Can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! I’m currently a college student home for the summer so I will have all the time needed to make sure your dog is cared for and given all the attention not only needed but also wanted! The free time allows me for great at home care but also possible trips outside enriching for both your pet and I. My home has a nice outdoor space for dogs to roam freely when they please as I like to keep the door open for easy bathroom/barking breaks. There is fencing and gates ensuring their safety if they prefer to be outside while I’m indoors. I currently have no dogs so your pet will most likely be the only one to enjoy the space.

I make sure they’re fed, take a walk, spend time outside, drink water, and go to the restroom. I do the same with my dogs they have a scheduled routine as well as scheduled meal times and bathroom breaks due to their needs. My dogs are also trained to let me know when they need to go outside and have some fun time and use the restroom.

About: With two years of experience caring for puppies and senior dogs, I understand the unique needs of dogs at every stage of life. I’ve regularly cared for litters of puppies, ensuring they are happy, safe, and well looked after. I’m attentive to dogs who prefer their own space, respecting their boundaries while providing the care they need. Having a senior dog of my own has deepened my understanding of patience and specialized care. I also regularly walk my own dog, who has gone through many different stages—from tugging and reactivity to calm, controlled walks. Because of this, I’ve learned to adapt to each dog’s unique personality and needs, handling different behaviors with patience and confidence. Additionally, I have experience caring for cats and understand their unique behaviors and body language. I’m familiar with signs of discomfort and know how to create a calm, respectful environment for them. Having watched and cared for multiple cats, I ensure they feel safe and cared for, whether they’re social or prefer their space. As current full-time student in college, I understand the importance of balancing responsibilities while providing attentive care to pets. During the school year, I’ve learned to manage my time efficiently, ensuring pets receive the attention and exercise they need. Now that it’s summer break, I have even more time to dedicate to caring for and playing with pets. Whether it’s engaging walks, interactive play sessions, or simply providing companionship, I’m available to meet their needs with patience and consistency. I provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their home environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific care requirements. I engage pets in play, offer companionship, and ensure they receive plenty of attention. For pets that prefer their space, I respect their boundaries while monitoring their well-being. If any concerns arise, such as changes in behavior or health, I will communicate with the owner to ensure the best care for their pet.

About: My pet care goes back to when I was six years old. I got my first dog, a golden doodle, at six years old and my mother helped me train and raise her. When we got our second dog, I fully trained and raised her and it was such a great experience. That's my baby in my profile picture! I also used to work at a Doggy Day Care in the summer before I moved to D.C. for college. I would help assist with special needs dogs and dogs that required more one on one care. Animals are my favorite thing, especially dogs and I would be so happy to help you all out when you need it! I had a senior Shih Tzu during college years up until my last semester and that was such an amazing experience to have a fur friend during these years. I'm the friend that people come to when they need pet care. I am currently working part time and only have classes in the morning so I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friend. I have a great and productive routine, given the fact I had a furry baby up until this new year so I know how to properly fit your pet into my schedule. Walking is one of my favorite activities so I would gladly bring your pet along with me! I am currently in an apartment but there is a park right behind my complex and I am in a very walakble area of D.C. I have a dog safe balcony where your pet can hang out with me when we want some extra time outside as well. I can assure you, your pet is in safe hands and you can trust me with your fur friend!

Kassandra G.
“I had a mini schnauzer named Mickey that had a bit of an attitude problem in that he sounded off his distrust of people and other dogs any time someone he didn't recognize came around. This made finding a sitter tougher than usual and I was initially worried he might come off too unpredictable and make her nervous, but she understood his anxieties and allowed him time to ease into seeing a new person in his space and eventually warm up to her, which I appreciated very much. She made sure to send me photos throughout the day so I'd know how he was doing for my peace of mind and asked what type of play he was comfortable with so as not to accidentally agitate or scare him, which no one else had done prior. All in all, Kassandra was quite competent at caring for Mickey and if I ever need pet sitting services again, I know who to call”


Monique H.
“Monique (Mo) was absolutely incredible in caring for my senior dog. He’s very particular and requires special attention, and Mo went above and beyond to make sure all his needs were met. Her professionalism, dependability, and genuine care gave me total peace of mind—I knew my dog was in great hands from the moment we met. Mo is clearly experienced with senior pet care, and it shows in everything she does. She took the time to understand his routine, kept me updated, and treated him with the patience and kindness he deserves. I can’t recommend her enough—if you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, Mo is the one.”
