About: I've lived the full dog parent journey. I've trained three dogs from puppies, so I understand the chewing, the zoomies, and the training milestones. I've also cared for senior dogs, including giving medications on schedule. Whatever stage your pup is in, they'll be in experienced, loving hands. I work a hybrid schedule, so I'm home most of the day to give your pup plenty of attention, potty breaks, and company. I live right near a park, which means lots of walks, fresh air, and playtime built into our daily routine. I'm an active person by nature, so your dog will stay engaged and well exercised. On weekends, I'm fully available for boardings. I live in a cozy three level townhome (shared with my brother and lots of love for dogs) with a fenced in yard that's perfect for safe off-leash play. We're a quick five minute walk from Meridian Hill Park.

About: I have trained and owned several AKC Dog breeds throughout my life and into the dog's senior years. The needs of the owners are to hire a handler who also understands the needs of a dog, and will provide this service with the same care as the owners' ideas. By providing time to care for the canine extended family member to ensure the dog's needs are met as intended in a social environment by supporting the dog's need for companionship, your dog is in good hands. I am accustomed to rewarding healthy behaviors a dog shows in reciprocity while providing the safety a dog needs to be confident, and working for a smile on the face of a dog is a reward of service in my opinion. I am furloughed and have plenty of time to help you out. This service provides me a source of income and potential to grow a client list to maintain on Rover. I always look both ways before I step across an intersection. I plan a route to a grassy patch on the walk. I always check to ensure the canine is not being over walked in the temperature conditions with their time in my care. Owners' directives on the dog's social habits are helpful in the meet-and-greet.

“This was our first time having Elliott sit our cats in a new city, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better! He was super responsive and attentive to their needs. We will definitely book him again!”

“Erika is so great with my kitties! I’m so glad to have found a kitty sitter nearby. Her communication is great, check-ins are on time, and photos are adorable. The kitties clearly trust her so I can relax and enjoy my time away without worrying!”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up with a horse, three cats, and two dogs, and was actively involved in feeding, exercising, caring for, and helping train our pets. I also grew up visiting my uncle’s ranch, where I helped care for the animals there. In college, I began fostering dogs, with foster stays ranging from just a day to several months. I also grew up alongside my childhood best friend’s family, who has been a large foster family for years, and I’ve helped care for their foster animals throughout my life. Because of this, I’m comfortable caring for animals with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and needs. I understand that every pet is different, and I’m happy to follow their individual routines and give them plenty of attention, exercise, patience, and love. I genuinely love animals and would treat your pets like they were my own! I work full-time as a paralegal at a law firm in the West End. While my work schedule can vary, I have the flexibility to work remotely, which allows me to provide pet care throughout the week. I’m typically most available on weekends and am happy to work with you to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs. I’m also able to plan ahead for walks, drop-ins, and longer stays. I live in a studio apartment and, unfortunately, am not able to accommodate pets in my home. However, I’m more than happy to care for pets in their own home, including check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping them company. I’m also comfortable with longer stays or overnight care in a client’s home, as long as you’re comfortable with that arrangement as well. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, and I’m happy to follow their normal routines and any specific instructions you provide.

About: I am a graduate student in biology, and I really love animals! I grew up around animals and adopted my own little rescue six years ago. My dog is a tiny eight pounds. We love to spend time walking and at DC's great dog parks in addition to playing indoors and at home. In addition to my own dog, I love being around other people's animals, whether they are high energy, low energy, or somewhere in between. It would be a privilege to be entrusted to take care of your pet, whether it be through walking, boarding, or sitting. Rest assured that I will treat your pet as I do my own!! Pet care is a daily priority for me as someone with my own dog! On weekends, weather permitting, my dog and I try to get outdoors for a hike (or at least the dog park!). As someone who’s been on both sides of Rover, I understand the importance of trust when your pet is in the care of someone else! I live in a doorman apartment and have baby gates at home. When pet sitting at your home, I’m flexible to your and your pet’s needs.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I grew up caring for three rescue dogs, helping them overcome fear and anxiety, build trust, and feel safe and loved as they adjusted to life in a caring home. Throughout my whole life I have looked after countless neighborhood, friends, and family dogs and cats. I grew up in a family passionate about rescuing animals of all kinds, from cats and dogs to birds and horses. I previously worked in administration at LSU’s School of Veterinary Medicine and have many close friends who are veterinarians. While I’m not a vet myself, these connections have deepened my appreciation for animal health and care! About six years ago, I took in a cat in Louisiana as a hurricane approached. He was underweight and unwell, so I made sure he received the veterinary care he needed to get healthy and thrive. He became my beloved boy (the orange tabby cat in my profile photos), and today, he’s a happy member of my family and sports a new bow tie for every holiday. Being a cat mom is one of my greatest joys! ❤️ I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of dog and cat check-in visits and dog walks! On weekdays I can easily accommodate morning and evenings. Weekends I am available to book at any time! I prefer serving the Georgetown, Dupont Circle, West End, and Foggy Bottom neighborhoods. At this time, I’m accepting cat/dog drop-in visits and dog walks only, and am not offering overnight care or boarding. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I provide walks, playtime, feeding, litter cleaning for cats, cuddles, and simple pill administration, always tailoring my care to your pet’s unique personality and individual preferences. 🐾

About: I grew up with rescue dogs my whole life and adopted a senior chihuahua in 2020 who we lost a few months ago. We aren’t quite ready to adopt again, but are really missing the love of a dog in our lives and would love to shower your baby in love!! We still have dog beds, treats, stairs to get on the bed, etc. that we would love to put to use. I work from home Thursday and Friday so am opening my schedule only those days and weekend to ensure I can give pups the attention and care they deserve. We live in a super walkable neighborhood and I’m happy to walk them every 2-4 hours. We are homebodies and will give lots of snuggles and love. Don’t have other pets or kids. Myself and my wife will be around and both have lots of experience from caring for our dog Toby who recently passed. Dogs are allowed on the couch and bed. We don’t have a yard but our neighborhood is super walkable and we live near a dog park if that is of interest (would never take the dog there unless specifically requested).

“We can’t say enough amazing things about Sarah!! We are so grateful to have found her. She took such great care of our two kitties - it made us so happy to know they were in such good hands while we were away. Sarah was incredibly communicative and kind - she sent us so many updates and pictures and her Rover cards always had fun little anecdotes about the cats that made us smile. Our cats absolutely loved her too! In addition to looking after the kitties, she also took great care of our house, bringing in packages and even taking out the trash. We would recommend Sarah a hundred times over 😊”
