“Kate was a wonderful dog and house sitter! Our two dogs were better off then when we left as Kate did some training with them. They took lots of walks and seemed very happy and healthy. The house was great as well.”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life and held many dog-sitting jobs throughout college. I am very intuitive and know the Capital Region well, so I am able to find the best walks and treatment specific to your pups! I enjoy being active and am excited at the opportunity to keep your dog healthy and active as well. I also have a car so getting to and from your home will be done with ease so I can focus my time on caring for your dogs with long walks, playing and feeding. I work remotely, so I have some flexibility with scheduling. I am open to dog-sitting at your house as I have done for up to two week periods of time for families with many dogs throughout DC. I work remotely, so I’m able to be very attuned to your pup and their needs! On demand walks and cuddles during the day are my favorite. I have a fenced back yard, but am open to staying at your home as well. We can work out what is best for your pup.
“Tim was great. We booked a 5 hour whale watch tour and needed someone to walk/ take care of our dog in Bar Harbor while we were out. He works for the company to was able to help check us in and then take care of our dog for the day. We very much appreciated his willingness to help us!”
“Julia was an attentive and responsive house/dog sitter for our pup Maya! This is big for us- we've only had a family friend stay overnight with our pup, so the thought of having someone different watch Maya (and our house) was a bit stressful. Julia did such an awesome job with Maya that we feel at ease having her come again. We can't wait to have another visit from Julia!”
“Kaleigh did an excellent job taking care of my fur babies! She gave me daily updates and kept in contact with me throughout my entire trip. Highly recommend kaleigh to anyone looking for an in-home dog sitter!”
About: I have always loved animals and I have my own as well. I take care of my senior pup along with caring for friends and families pets as well. Always a good time with extra love to give. Reliable and fun. I work five days a week at a marina however, I am always open at night and on my days off I am more than happy to care for your animals. To care for my own pet I take him out multiple times a day, I walk him, feed him, bathe him, and so much more but with other animals it varies, depending on the instructions given by the owner is what I will do along with extra love.
“Liz is an excellent dog sitter. During that time, she kept the house neat and tidy and stayed in communication with us on a regular basis, eliminating the stress of leaving Coco and the house behind. Above all, Liz is trustworthy, and our dog looked like she was having a great time with her every time we got an update. We would be happy to use her again in the future.”
“Matthew did such an amazing job with our boys! We have two senior pups, one being special needs, and he took such great care of them and was so familiar with our one’s needs and medication. He is incredibly friendly, trustworthy, and respectful. We’ve were given updates throughout the day, and they all brought smiles to my husband and I’s faces. We also needed care beginning in the very early morning, and he was still perfectly on time and ready to go. We will absolutely be booking with him again in the future - highly, highly recommend! 😊”
“Jess was great! She came and did a meet and greet with us and Riley was excited to meet her. She was on time, friendly, and took great care of our pup (and kitty) while we were out of town for a wedding! She sent daily updates, was super communicative, and did a great job making us feel better our first time leaving our fur babies. We’ll definitely be using her in the future!”
“Brittany was wonderful with our two pups when we took a 5 day trip to Florida. She spent 5 nights at our house, walked the dogs, fed them and took such great care of them. We can’t thank her enough.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a little kid! I have experience with pets of all types, ages & personalities. Friends & family have relied on me to walk, feed & housesit for their animals. I work full time time job but I have most mornings free. My schedule rotates so I would not be able to have the same availability every week, but please reach out with dates & times! I would love to make something work. I can come to your house and walk your dog. If you are interested in an overnight board at my house the dog would have to be good with my 15lb poodle mix & two cats. It would be ideal that the dog comes with a crate to stay in, as my dog is crated as well when we are out of the house. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I live near a dog park, and in a nice spot to walk dogs.

I am very respectful when it comes to caring for animals, I have my own pets and understand the value of hiring someone you can trust. I also understand the responsibility of caring for animals in someone's home. I can guarantee you nothing but respect when working with your animals!
