Pet Sitting Foggy Bottom

About: I have experience with dogs of all different sizes and ages! I have taken care of friends and family members pets, as well as my own dog, since I was 6. I have basic puppy training experience. I have cared for many types of animals including dogs, cats, goats, bunnies, and chickens. I have a flexible schedule in the summer and means of transportation, so I’m pretty willing to make most times and days of the week work. I am always respectful and kind to the owners, the pet, and their home! I like to ask questions to understand the needs of the pet, so I can give them the best care.

“Alexandra was such a great help visiting with our cat while we were away. Everything went super smoothly and I really appreciated all her updates! Would happily have her visit again!”

About: I have had pets for all 24 years of my life! I love taking care of animals! I am a GW grad student who is looking to earn some money in an honest and hard-working way. I am very responsible and communicate. I am very detail-oriented and prioritize care/safety for your pet. I am currently in class M-T 8-4! I am free Friday, Saturday, and Sunday all day everyday. I sometimes have exams Friday morning but are completed asynchronously. I am very dedicated to work. I am a very careful & meticulous person, I am always looking to clean the pets bowl, make sure they use the restroom, and are fed and hydrated. The animals comfort is my number one priority and to ensure keeping them safe. I like to build trust as well by having a meeting beforehand wether that is in person or over facetime.

“Monica is wonderful and Pearlie absolutely loves her. She’s super punctual and leaves detailed notes as well as photos after each visit. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve been in the care of various pets all of my life — from fishes, hermit crabs, and guinea pigs, to now my 10 year old Westie that we’ve cared for from puppy to senior. As such, I’m comfortable with everything from puppy energy, senior care, and everything in between, and will treat all pets with the patience, love, and attention they deserve. I’m a full time student with various availability day-to-day — including a mix of mornings, evenings, and nights — outside of a consistent class schedule. I’ll make sure to adhere to your rules and expectations, including keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible and treating your space with care and respect. I follow all care and house instructions exactly as given and ensure the security of your home, as well as have emergency contact information on hand. I deeply value communication — if there were any confusion or discrepancy, I’d make sure to reach out right away rather than guess or improvise.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I have experience caring for pets for multiple families, as well as working as a dog walker. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand how important it is to give each pet individualized attention and care. I am a graduate student at George Washington University working towards my master's in anatomical and translational sciences. I am also on the rowing team and rowing D1 for my 5th year. My schedule allows me plenty of availability between classes and practices to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I will care for your pets by following your instructions closely and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. Depending on each pet’s needs and personality, I’m happy to provide plenty of walks and playtime to burn off energy, regular bathroom breaks, or lots of cuddles. My goal is to make sure every pet receives the attention and care they need while you’re away.

“Runjni is great!! So trustworthy, communicative, and reliable.”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was in 4th grade. Neighbors, friends, and family members have counted and relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, as well as watch them overnight and over the span of several days. I am an animal person through and through, and love working with puppies all the way to senior dogs. I currently work from home five days a week and have plenty of time throughout the day to go for walks or to keep a pet at home with me while working. I love taking a break in my day for one or more walks, and I would love to have a buddy to go with me. I have a spacious apartment to allow for enclosed and safe play for the pups, and I live in a very walkable neighborhood. I ensure that all potentially dangerous things are put away (ie. cords, food, small objects) and out of reach of any pet.

About: I provide attentive, reliable care for dogs of all sizes, ensuring every pup feels safe, loved, exercised, and comfortable while you’re away with updates. Available mornings before 8 AM, evenings after 5 PM, and weekends. Won’t do mid-day check in due to work, but happy to discuss. Pet-free, smoke-free with some plants focused on safety and comfort. I provide care and keep owners updated throughout each visit and respect your home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ranging from a Lab puppy to a Great Dane, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I’m a big dog lover, and since I don’t have a dog of my own in the city, I’d love to spend some time with yours! Whether it’s going on long walks, playing outside, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to give them plenty of attention and care. I work full-time in Washington, D.C., but am available all day on Saturdays and Sundays, as well as weeknights starting at 5:30 PM. I’m also flexible on holidays! I’m not allowed to have pets in my apartment, but I’d be happy to check in on your dog in your home! I will always make sure they have food and water, get some playtime/exercise, and get outside for bathroom breaks.

“John was great, very easygoing guy and took great care of my cat. He also sent very cute update photos! He was very kind to pick up a package for me too when I was away.”

Amanda J.

“Anna did an amazing job taking care of Rootie and Frankie! She is very attentive and gave me lots of updates while I was out of town. I would definitely book her again and recommend her for your pet needs!”

“I know my dog had a great time with Karola because he was very chill and relaxed afterwards. Karola was great at communicating and asked all the right questions to get to know my dog. Thank you, Karola!”

“Mirren was so wonderful and helped me out with a last minute dog sitting need! I will definitely use her as a reliable dog sitter and walker in the future. Thanks again for your help!”

“Priscilla helped us not only with our furry boys, but with other not-cat related matters, when we were away more than once! The stress of changing plans and canceling flights is easier when you you have someone like Priscilla on your side. A person who understands all that and will always meet you half way is priceless! I am infinitely glad and grateful that we found her in DC!”

“Amy was incredible! She took such good care of our cat while we were away, and sent us lots of updates. Our cat hopes to see her again! Thank You, Amy!”

About: I've grown up with animals my whole life — dogs, cats, and even horses — so caring for pets isn't new to me, it's second nature. I understand different temperaments, energy levels, and needs, from a high-energy pup who needs a good walk to a senior cat who just wants company. I currently dog sit and dog walk regularly, and I'm reliable, attentive, and genuinely happy spending my time with animals. Your pet will get consistent routines, plenty of attention, and someone who treats them like their own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm based in the [Washington, DC] area and typically have [mornings and evenings / flexible weekday] availability for walks and drop-ins, with more flexibility on weekends for boarding or longer sits. I build a consistent routine around each pet's normal schedule, feeding times, walk times, and downtime, so there's minimal disruption to what they're used to. Whether I'm in my own home or a client's home, safety and comfort come first. I keep a close eye on pets at all times, follow any feeding, medication, or routine instructions exactly as given, and make sure spaces are secure (leashed walks, safe yards, doors and gates checked). In my own home, pets have a calm, comfortable space to settle in, away from hazards, with fresh water always available. I communicate regularly with owners, photo updates and check-ins, so they always know their pet is safe and happy.

“Joanna was super responsive, responsible, and communicative while visiting our cat, Latte. Definitely would recommend.”

“Tobias was great! He came through last minute for us as our regular sitter had to back out of sitting due to an emergency, and did super great with our pup!”
