With years of experience as dog watchers and proud pet parents to Captain, our 40 lb Shepherd Mix, we offer a unique team approach to caring for your furry friends. Our love for dogs runs deep, having grown up with them and incorporating them into our daily lives.

We tailor our services to meet the individual needs and preferences of each furry guest, ensuring they feel right at home.

We take pride in creating a welcoming and relaxing environment for dogs in our care, making their stay feel like a vacation.

We work during the day hours, with one of us having a hybrid schedule. Weekends are spent at home with the furry ones! If you are considering booking a service for dog boarding I will go over the details of your pet’s routine to fully accommodate their needs. For my drop in visits or overnight stays I am comfortable with whatever routine you already have established for your pet(s).

About: I have a dog and a cat and have had 5 cats in total. I’ve trained my dog a lot of his tricks and behaviors like heeling, sit, stay, all of that. I’m intuitive and understand pet behavior, knowing when they are triggered versus happy. I’m an aware pet walker, conscious of surroundings and other pets. I love to play with animals and love all animals. I am patient and would love to meet your animals!! I’m currently a university student with extra time so looking to fill it with activities I love! That would include any time spent with any animals. I’m available on most weekends and have free periods throughout each weekday! I won’t be looking to board but to do check ins and take care of animals when you want some time for them to go on walks, be fed, played with, or just checked on!

About: Hi everyone, My name is Rachel and I am a huge animal lover who is passionate about providing the best care and companionship for our furry friends. I have been pet sitting for close to 7 years now, through Wag and also with Rover. Experience in administering medicine for both cats and dogs and currently in process to be First Aid certified for pets as well! (As of July 2025) I grew up with animals, as I had taken care of my own dog-Misia, a coackapoo, for 10 years and my mother with her Havanese dog, Tomo, of 4 years (and on-going!) I lead an active lifestyle and take dogs out for a long walk or find fun ways to play with cats too. I want to make sure I can provide a tailored approach to make sure your pets' needs are met as a photo enthusiast, happy to take pictures and provide an update throughout a boarding and/or a sitting especially. Coming up close to 7 years of being a pet sitter for Wag, Rover and individual clients, I would be honored to be your reliable pet sitter! Currently my schedule is very open and flexible. I can accommodate a boarding at my apartment, as well as pet sitting/drop-in visits, as well for all days of the week. *Note for Boarding requests* I have another 4-year old Havanese dog (very friendly) at my apartment. Happy to have another dog for boarding but please read this note before booking a boarding request!** Thank you 😊 First and foremost what's important is that I understand the client's needs and their instructions on how to take care of their pets. Once you book my service, I would be more than happy to do an in-person meet and greet or a video call. If there are any further instructions (beyond what is listed on the Rover app), then I am happy to provide my personal email address if you would like to e-mail the instructions. These are the steps I take to ensure I can take care of the clients' pets in a safe and trusting environment.

About: I have my own dog & she is the love of my life! Ever since adopting her, I found a passion and deep love for animals! I used to volunteer with CDCK located in DC. Animals have become my passion and I love all animals like they’re my own ❤️ I live with my partner who is more than happy to help take care of your fur baby as well! I work remote so I will have tons of time to care for your pet. My apartment also has a dog park so it has easy and fast access outside. I have my own dog that I’ve had nearly 6 years now. I will treat your dogs like they are my own! I have done extensive research on caring for dogs and have implemented various different things with my dog to improve her quality of life best I can. Whether that’s feeding your dog healthy organic treats or finding different ways to mentally stimulate them! Not only will I take them on walks but I’ll be glad to play some friendly tug of war with them :)

“Brooke was very professional and everything went smoothly. She even waited when she couldn’t get into my apartment for a bit due to the front desk person being absent.”

“Jana was a great walker. She was very patient with Hazel the hound who had to be coaxed on the walk. Hazel had a wonderful time. Thank you Jana!”

About: I’ve been dog walking/sitting for about 2-3 years now informally back in New York, just moved to the Bethesda area so I signed up for this app to be able to continue doing so. I have no formal training, but growing up on a farm I have a deep appreciation for animals! I’m currently unemployed, so I can take care of dogs during the day or in the evening. I feed my Millie at 5:30 am sharp, so I am available anytime after that. My Millie is quite picky, so I am very used to any unusual rules you may have for you animals. I am very protective and cautious with animals!

“Landy is great! Excellent communication and truly cares about my pups. She’s comfortable giving meds and asked great questions that shows she’s on top of it. Also she sent adorable photos of them on the walk! 🐾🦴”
