About: My own golden retriever lived to nearly 15, and caring for her through every stage of life is what gave me a real understanding of what dogs need and what their owners worry about. I don’t take that lightly when I’m caring for someone else’s dog and I treat each one as if they were my own! I’ve worked with dogs of all ages and personalities, from brand-new puppies to seniors, and from the shyest wallflowers to the most enthusiastic greeters. I’m comfortable with leash training for puppies and administering supplements and medications for older dogs with established routines. Midday walks are one of my favorite parts of the day, and I’m also available for drop-in visits when that’s all your pup needs. Either way, you can count on your dog getting genuine, attentive care while you’re away. As a remote worker, I have a flexible day and would love to break it up with outdoor activities with your dog! Aside from times when I have meetings, I am available to go and let out your pet or go for an outdoor activity. I always defer to the owners instructions for a visit and follow them to a tee. Whether your dog just needs a quick outing and play time inside or a longer walk in a certain route, I am able to provide whatever your dog needs to have a good visit!

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, especially cats, so I naturally understand their Needs and unique personalities. Even though I’ve never owned a dog of my own, I’ve cared for many dogs through friends and family — from puppies who need full attention to older dogs who need extra patience and care. I also have experience giving pets oral medication, so I’m comfortable following special routines. My goal is always to give each pet the same love, comfort, and attention I’d want for my own! I am currently a full-time student at Howard University so I have class everyday. With any free time I have on my hands not studying or in class, I’d love to help! Im happy to take your pets on walks, give them fresh food and water, and spend quality time with them so they feel cared for while you're away. Im gentle and attentive, making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Building trust is very important to me, and treat one like my own! :)

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my experience working with pets of different personalities and needs. I’m an animal rescue advocate and spent a summer in high school interning at a cat rescue, where I cared for cats of all ages and temperaments. That experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to make even shy or nervous pets feel comfortable and safe. I’m reliable, communicative, and will always treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m currently interning in Washington, DC in a hybrid role, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week for pet care visits, walks, and quality time with your pets! Being away from my own pets at home has made me miss having animals around, so I’m excited to spend time loving on and caring for pets here in DC. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs. I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in both my home and my client’s home. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level so they can feel as relaxed as possible while you’re away. I’m very attentive, clean, and respectful of your space, and I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and updates throughout the visit. My experience interning at a cat rescue also taught me how to be patient and attentive with animals of all temperaments.

About: I have a few years of pet sitting experience in my hometown, and I am looking forward to continuing to do so now that I am in college! I have had pets my whole life, ranging from dogs and cats to birds and lizards! I enjoy bringing my cat to volunteer with me at assisted living homes, and I have treated pets with various health issues as well. I am currently a full time college student, however I am available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I may also be available during the week, depending on my schedule. I will be on break starting in early may and ending in late August, but I will continue sitting when I come back! Safety is of the utmost importance, therefore I will always check that doors and gates are closed and that leashes and harnesses are securely fastened. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, and will always communicate effectively with owners when necessary. Furthermore, I have experience providing care for pets with medical conditions, and will be able to provide that service if needed.

About: I just graduated from law school and am studying for the bar exam this summer! I definitely need to get out of the house for breaks throughout the day and would love to spend that time walking your dog:) I am available during the day most days, as I am currently studying. So all of my time outside of pet care is dedicated to that! I have an apartment, so for boarding dogs they should be ok with an elevator! I try to take dogs out every 2 hours depending on their needs. There are a lot of green spaces near my apartment, as well as a dog park 4!blocks away!

About: I’ve been walking dogs since I’m 14 years old. I arrived first time to the US as an aupair. The family had two dogs and I stayed with them when the family was away for holidays. Also I walk dogs here and stayed at people home with the pets when they weren’t home for work or stayed overnight when they left for vacations Right now I don’t have classes so I have all the time I’m asked. I live in Foggy Bottom but I can move around the DMV aérea easily. I am a person full of energy so your pets are going to have company all time and ready to play when asked for. I treat other people pet with the same love as it was mine.

He was reliability, onetime, and updates showed he followed our pet-care instructions. We will trust Will for future drop in and vacations.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was eight years old. I have experience with reactive dogs, and I am understanding of those with certain needs. I currently do not have any dogs, but I helped raise all of my family dogs, would love to own one for myself, and would treat any dog I care after as my own. I am currently on the job market after being DOGE’d, so I thought I would spend my time walking a dog(e). I am available on the weekdays, and walking dogs would fit in seamlessly with my schedule. I am a very active individual and have no problem taking a dog on however long of a walk it may need. I am very patient and will let dogs be curious, but can also command them when needed. I love to play with dogs, whether it is fetch, giving them toys, letting them socialize and interact with other dogs. I have experience with a reactive dog, so I am very attentive to a dog’s behavior patterns.

About: I’ve have been taking care of dogs since 2018. When I have the dogs I take them out for walks three times a day, and make sure that they enjoy their walk and are fully satisfied. I am currently in school, but love to walk dogs in between and after my classes because I have long breaks. I also have a lot of free time on the weekends, so I’d love to walk dogs then! I am an active and avid walker, and am also patient so I will make sure that your dog is able to explore as much as possible while still getting their walk in.

About: I am a lifetime animal lover and pet caretaker. I have experience caring for my own cats from when they were kittens to old age. I also am experienced in caring my family's dog. Outside of my own pets, I volunteer at local animal shelters, which has giving me experience in working with cats and dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs. I am currently working a remote, part-time job with flexible hours. This leaves me available to care for your pet while following their normal routine. When caring for pets, I show great respect for my clients' homes. I am considerate when using your and your pets items and keep an eye out for any problems caused by mischievous pets. After caring for your cats and dogs I leave your home and pets safe and secure.
