“First walk with our boy Ziggy and she was great. On time, took him out to the dog park, he came back tired. All you can ask for! Super nice and asked all the right questions. We felt very comfortable with her.”
About: I’ve had two childhood dogs (a Boston terrier and Golden Retriever) and helped a lot with their care. I have pet sit and checked on many dogs for my friends and family. I have experience with senior dogs and puppies. I’m currently a grad student at Georgetown. My classes are mainly in mornings and would be free outside of that time to come to check on or walk your dog. I have found that most dogs are most comfortable in their home surroundings. I want to meet your dogs needs as a caregiver, while also helping to provide them with love and affection.
“Absolutely outstanding! Does an amazing job walking and always keeping me informed. Shing is reliable and my dog gets excited every time they arrive. I have total peace of mind knowing my pup is in such capable hands. Couldn’t ask for better!”
“Julie was absolutely incredible with my puppy. She was attentive, sent lots of pictures, and let me know if there was anything wrong at all times. Will definitely use her again!!”
“Hatcher did a great job with my Alfie! He walked him around the neighborhood while I was at work, and he sent me several pictures of him, which really made my day! He was highly communicative throughout the whole process, which I really appreciated.”
“Above and beyond! Took my dogs to the park on short notice and was able to navigate my complex building with written instructions on first visit. Would absolutely recommend and will request in the future”
About: I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience with dogs, cats, and fish. My background working at an animal shelter has equipped me with knowledge in handling pets of all temperaments and needs. From puppies and kittens to senior companions, from energetic playmates to those requiring special medical attention - I've seen and cared for it all. When you choose me, you're getting a full-time seasoned pet sitter who will treat your pets with the same dedication and love I've shown to the countless animals I've had the privilege to care for throughout my life. I am currently doing Rover full-time, so I will be able to devote my complete attention to your furry friend and be flexible to the times/days/needs of them! I live in an apartment and will be able to take the dog out for walks as much as needed/have full-time watch over any dog or cat. I am also available to come to your home and watch the animal(s) there! I have a cat crate if necessary, as well as many cat toys. However, there are currently no animals in my home.
About: Hi! I'm a university student with a big love for animals. I’ve been a dog mom to three pups and a cat back home, and I miss them dearly—so I’d love to care for yours! I’ve got lots of experience with big breeds with 2 Great Danes of my own. Also experienced with senior dogs with one of my own who is 14! I’m currently working part time and have lots of spare time on my hands for walks and visits. Familiar with the DC metro area and located locally! I have a large fenced backyard at home but routinely walk both of my large dogs. I stick closely to their usual routine—walks, feedings and playtime to make sure their care is consistent and will do the same with yours!
“Stephanie is great with our dog Bella in walking her and checking up on her during the day!”
About: I have had experience caring for both big and small dogs since I was a kid. I have always treated my pets and other with the same care as my family. I will bring this same care to your pets. Additionally, I have had experience watching both small and older children. Although children and dogs are not quite the same, the skills I have gained will come in handy when sitting or walking your dog. I am currently working an internship, so I have plenty og time on weekends or weekday evenings. I am also flexible and can do early mornings. I believe that it is important to meet the needs and wants of your pet while ensuring a safe environment for them and those around them. I will ensure that while walking or sitting your dog that I remain vigilant and alert to our surroundings and the dog’s body language maintain comfort and safety.

“Alyssa took excellent care of our three dogs (medium to large) while we were away, and we couldn’t be happier with her service. She stayed at our home, ensuring they were well-fed, exercised, and loved. It was clear from the start that she is knowledgeable and truly cares for animals. Our dogs absolutely adored her! Not only did she provide top-notch care for them, but she also took great care of our home, giving us peace of mind while we were away.
