Dogs are lodged in the kitchen and/or garden apartment with direct backyard access. Human sleeps in apt when dogs are here. Cats are lodged upstairs and we can accommodate depending on their own needs and personality.

“Michael was great ! Last minute booking but he made me feel super secure about leaving my dog with him. My dog can be alittle overstimulated at times just because he has small dog big dog imposter syndrome but michael did great constantly giving me updates. Everything was amazing and will def be reaching out again when I need a sitter!”

“Scout, always a nervous dog, has decided she loves Cassidy and Elizabeth! This visit they played endless fetch and went on an outing in Rock Creek Park. We were so grateful for the great care they took with her. Will will definitely rebook.”

“I was really impressed with Jason N. and can't recommend him highly enough! My pup is a shy rescue with separation anxiety, but she immediately felt right at home at Jason N.'s and was having so much fun with the wonderful resident dog that she barely noticed when I left. I received regular updates on her day that completely assuaged any concerns I'd normally have, and when I picked her up at the end of the day I found her happy, relaxed, and all played-out. Having someone I really trust to watch Stella is an immense piece of mind, and I'll definitely be calling Jason N. next time I need a sitter.”

“My Kira was so happy when I picked her up, she didn’t even want to come with me, thanks again for taking good care of my baby!”

“Our puppy Fiona had a great stay with Chad, and Chad was super obliging and communicative when we had to adjust our second visit at the last minute. Thank you!”

About: Based in Petworth/Brightwood Park in NW DC, I am a lifelong animal lover and professional pet care provider with 15+ years of experience. I founded my own dog walking business in DC in 2009 and have built a loyal client base on one thing: treating every dog like my own. Experienced with all sizes and temperaments, I maintain my own professional liability insurance for your peace of mind. I share my home with two miniature pinschers of my own, so I understand what it means to leave a dog you love in someone else's hands. I work remotely, which means I am home and attentive throughout the day. Boarding dogs are never left alone for extended periods. They get regular outdoor time in our fully fenced yard, midday walks, and plenty of attention morning, afternoon, and evening. I require a meet-and-greet prior to all first-time bookings. Please reach out at least 5 to 7 days before your requested stay. Returning clients are welcome to book with 48 hours' notice. For holiday weekends, I recommend reaching out 2 to 3 weeks in advance as spots fill quickly. Pickup and drop off are available upon request for an additional fee. Please message me with your location for a quote. I serve clients in Northwest DC and surrounding neighborhoods. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priority. Boarding guests have a dedicated first-floor living space with access to a large deck and a fully fenced yard for secure off-leash time throughout the day. I maintain my own professional liability insurance for added peace of mind. My home is dog-proof and calm. I do not overbook, keeping the number of guests small so every dog gets individualized attention. I provide regular photo and message updates throughout every stay, so you always know your pup is happy and well cared for.

“Shantell was amazing with my pup Kiko. I really can’t recommend her enough. She is reliable, communicative, and accommodating. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, especially with my energetic pup.”

About: I have grown up with dogs from a young kid and they have always been a constant in my life. My kids always had at least 2 dogs in the house and even though they are gone, I still loving pets around. I specifically like to take care of small to medium dogs, senior dogs, and dogs that are house trained. I am very excited to start this journey on Rover and meet and take care of your dogs. I am retired and am at home full-time which gives me the availability to fully cater to your dogs. I like to go on walks in my neighbourhood and spend time in my fenced in backyard. I have a fenced in backyard with plent of room to play and run around. I also have a very walkable neighbourhood and have an extra room for your pet to have their space.

“Aaron & Paweena were great and accommodated me so last minute! My sweet boy can be a bit nervous at first when it comes to settling in but he had such a great day and was absolutely exhausted by the end of the day! I came back to him chewing on a treat they gave him & he barely acknowledged me picking him up lol this won’t be my last time booking!”

“Joey did a fantastic job to take great care of my 7-year-old labrador who had a bit of separation anxiety. I am so grateful with Joey to accept the last minute request after a brief meet up. I would love to use his services again and highly recommend him. Thanks again Joey for your flexibility and patience with Meimei!”

“My dog seemed happy and healthy on pickup after two nights. I didn’t meet Dominique, just met her brother on both dropoff and pickup. He was good with my dog and theirs, as well as a third old pup who was at the house at pickup. They had the porch secured with a barrier that would not hold a big or determined dog but it seemed they were out there supervising all the time so no worries about escapes. They communicated well, I got photos and a few texts around logistics. Thanks guys! We’ll definitely consider using them again.”

Eliza C.

“Taurus was great. Highly recommend. He’s communicative throughout the process. He suggested and then we easily arranged a meet and greet before he sat the dog. Great service”

“This week was the first doggy daycare for my pup with Matty. It went splendidly. We met initially so we all could meet (including my dog). Dropping and picking my pup up was seamless. And the actual daycare went amazingly—we got plenty of pics and updates. Matty already knows we intend to be regular customers.”

Jean-Pierre L.

“Brit had such a great time with Angela! They managed two walks, despite the rain, and Brit slept the whole way home. We will definitely be back!”

“It is always so wonderful leaving our pup with you!!”

“Jasmin looked after our dog Toby for the day, and did a wonderful job of sending sweet pictures throughout his stay. Toby can be skittish around larger dogs, and she did a great job of keeping him apart and comfortable (while also making friends with her Frenchie!) :)”

“Kat is super kind and attentive! She loves dogs and knows them well. We feel great about leaving Chester with her given how communicative she is.”
