About: I grew up with one or two dogs (labradors and spaniels have a soft spot in my heart) at any given time and have had plenty of experience walking and caring for their needs. Bathing, walking, playing, giving medication, cleaning up their messes… etc. I also have experience house/dog sitting over the past several years. I have cared for both dogs and cats separately and together. Currently I’m between jobs and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule during the work week and weekends and am excited to meet your pets! I am currently in between graduate school and starting work. I live in West End/Dupont Circle/Foggy Bottom and I can be flexible in that general area and Georgetown/Logan Circle during the work week and most weekends! I don’t host pets in my own home, but I am always respectful of other people’s homes. I’m tidy and respectful of others spaces and rules for their pets.

“Niamh was fantastic! She stepped in and cared for our dog when other care fell through. She was communicative and took fabulous care of our pup!! Would absolutely book her again.”


“After having a ruff experience with a walker Howard is a breath of fresh air! So easy to work with! I love the daily pictures I get of him and Porter , Porter looks so happy ! Thank you Howard !”


About: I've grown up in a home with two rescue dogs and I'm very familiar with the ins and outs of pet care. As a kid I loved walking my dogs, playing with them, and watching them thrive. I'm ready to handle any challenges that comes with pet care! Growing up with rescue dogs gave me important perspective on patience and consideration with dogs. While they might not be able to express it verbally, animals DO communicate their boundaries, each comes with their own experiences that influence their needs and behavior. My own dogs have equipped me to read an understand pet body language and make sure pups are comfortable, safe, and happy. My work is remote so I have lots of flexibility to accommodate a variety of schedules as well as take my time with pet care. I know how important it is to have clear-cut communication and reliability are while you are away and I’m committed to providing that for you and your pet. I'm prepared to care for your dog in their home how it works best for you and them. All pups have different needs and I'm committed to their preferences and your routines. Having grown up with two dogs in my own home, I consider pets members of the family. As a sitter, it's of the utmost importance to me that I treat your animals as family members and ensure their safety. I'm attuned to the smallest details in pet safety, like making sure doors always get closed and pups don't get ahold of any items that aren't meant for them.

About: I had the pleasure of raising my two pups from infancy at the same time - and they’re 10 and energetic now! I am very energetic and love all kinds of dogs, so happy to help! I work from home and am quite flexible during most work days! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m happy to accommodate any daily routine for your dog. I am very active so I can walk them on check-ins and definitely take them out for restroom breaks I have two dogs at home and they love to play with other dogs if your dog is friendly, and if not happy to hang out and take care of your dog alone as well. Whatever you and your dog are most comfortable with!

“Sarah is a phenomenal dog sitter! My dog always has the best time on their walks and she does a great job of cleaning up after him. Sarah is very reliable and has a flexible schedule which works well for busy dog parents! I would highly recommend her!”


“Ashton was incredible with our senior dog! Ashton was kind and gentle with her, ensuring she got good exercise even when she was a bit stubborn. Ashton even went above and beyond, coming to our house to help even after a big snowstorm. We’ll definitely have her help out again!”


“Caroline was great! She was very communicative and understanding of last minute changes. She was super patient with Wrigley! Would absolutely ask her to care for Wrigs again”
