Dog Sitting Hillcrest Heights

About: I like to observe the different personalities and traits displayed in their daily activities. Observing their behaviors to what they like and don't like and spend time giving attention to them. I'm working part-time right now at the moment but my schedule is flexible and definitely will fit in my daily routine which is greatly appreciated. I make space for the pet roam around, have lots of food and treats, walk them frequently, give them rubs and hugs, watch TV with them, give their space when needed and make sure that the house stays clean and safe by putting certain items up out of reach ensures that they don't chew or swallow objects that can be harmful to them.

“Did an outstanding job caring for my pets, and on short notice! Would recommend her anytime.”

About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I grew up around dogs and other animals, and caring for them has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I love getting outside for walks, playing fetch, and giving plenty of attention and affection. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I work a typical 9–5 job, but pet care fits perfectly into my schedule. I’m available for morning visits before work, evening walks and drop-ins after work, and have much more flexibility on weekends. As someone who has grown up around animals my entire life, I genuinely enjoy spending my free time with pets and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for when their owners can’t be there. I live in Capitol Hill, which is a great neighborhood for pets! There are plenty of sidewalks, parks, and pet-friendly areas nearby for safe and enjoyable walks. My apartment is spacious and comfortable, giving pets room to relax and feel at home. We also have a dog park right at my apartment building, which is perfect for dogs who enjoy getting some extra exercise and socialization. Whether your pet prefers adventure or lounging around, they’ll have a safe, loving environment while in my care.

About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. I’ve had dogs as pets, and I have a Labradoodle named Roux and a tabby cat named peaches. I know how important it is to take care of someone else’s pets because I would want them to do the same for me I currently work full-time as a teacher, but I take care of pets after work and on the weekends. I also make myself available for holidays If I were taking care of a pet in my home, they are free to roam the house and I also have a fenced in backyard and front yard. If I was taking care of a pet at someone else’s house, I would follow all of their instructions so that I can give the best care possible

About: I have dog sat for friends when they're out of town. I have watched my mom's cat for her whole life too. I love animals, I love playing with them, I love the excuse to get out for a walk, I love sitting with them, I love talking to them like they can understand what I'm saying. I genuinely enjoy hanging out with animals and care for them deeply. I work from home and have the flexibility to leave for a walk or run an errand whenever I need to. So if that means a 3 pm walk for your pup or a morning and evening feeding time for your pet, I'm here! I have a fenced in back yard, fenced in front balcony, and enclosed spaces throughout my home. I also have an open floor plan on the main level where I would feed your pet and hang out them mostly.

About: Hello there, my name is Davey, and I’m an experienced pet caretaker with over 15 years of experience. I live alone and have access to a bark park and local parks, which allows me to provide a safe environment and ample amounts of open fields and stimulating environments for the doggie's. I prioritize the well-being of all furry friends — including cats— by following the habits you have already curated for them; such as meal plans and diets, using familiar commands to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to make sure you return home to a clean and happy home, with a loving caretaker by their side. Some of my furry friends tend to get attached to me quickly and even sit at the doors, waiting for me to return. Overall, I have a deep love for these little furry companions called pets. I’m a full-time remote student and a freelance photographer. I have more than enough flexibility to take care of your little one because I prepare everything on my schedule two weeks in advance. Pets will be completely safe in my hands as I am very attentive and aware, and we are most likely going to be in the same room the whole time. Should anything arise with your furry one I immediately communicate about it and let you know what the issue is and how we got there. of course every case is dependent on the personality of the furry one. I treat your pet as if they are my own if I wouldn’t drink faucet water I wouldn’t give your little one faucet water. We’re kind of bougie over here.

About: I am patient with all animals and worked as a kennel tech for six months and have my own dog who I love very much. I work full time but have availability on weekends to watch pets and drop in and go on walks or just hangout with them too. I would pet them and make sure that they had enough food and water. I would also play with them if the owner wanted me to.

“Fiona was perfect for watching our cat this long weekend. She was very communicative and easy to get along with, to us and, more importantly, our cat. Thanks for caring for Beans while we were out of town!”

About: Throughout my lifetime my family has had six dogs, most at the same time. Through these six wonderful, additional family members I have experience with dogs that have no energy and dogs that have too much, dogs who eat all they can and dogs who don't eat enough, dogs who love people and dogs who prefer their solitude, everything inbetween, and much more! I currently work full time at a restaurant in Alexandria and my schedule slightly varies from week to week. Just shoot me a message about when you need me and I'll see to it if I'm able! It depends on the needs of the dog and the information provided by the owner, so generally the number one rule is to stick to the instructions. Other than that, treat the dog as if it we're your own.

About: When I was 15, I had my first puppy named Marshmallow, a very handsome grey & white Shih Tzu. Since then, I've had this massive love for pets. I have babysat my friends and family dogs, including a pitbull, a golden doodle, a cat, a labrador, a pomeranian, and a disabled terrier. I will take care of them with lots of love & compassion. I can guarantee great on-time care for them. I'm a full-time student in college looking for a part-time job that smoothly fits into my week. Also, creating my own schedule is something that comes in handy on busy school days. I would take your dog on long & lovely walks, keep them well-fed, work on possibly getting them to new tricks & make sure things stay clean.

About: I have plenty of pet experience! I say pet because I have had cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, and even turtles! I wish I could watch them all but I can only watch a cat or dog :) I will care for them as my own & can fully trust me to take care of your love bug! I work from home so I have plenty of time on my hands! I can even work from my phone if I need to take them out on a walk around the neighborhood. I live in a safe neighborhood with a lot of animals around! I live in a full apartment with a lot of space and lighting for your love bug to be comfortable as they want to be!

About: As a pet owner myself, of an energetic poodle, I understand the importance of maintaining open communication while your pet is in the care of another person. I work 100% remotely, which allows me the flexibility to cuddle, play, and care for your pet. I have a set schedule for walks but can also accommodate as needed. Pets are not allowed in my bedroom or bathroom in my home but are welcome to the rest of the home. They’ll also have their own room to safely sleep, play or relax.

“Fantastic first visit!!!”

“We loved having Dora take care of our kitties, and they loved her too! Even our one extremely suspicious and disdainful cat made friends with her. She was extremely reliable and thoughtful, very friendly and easy to communicate with - we definitely hope to use her again!”

About: As a dedicated cat lover, I know that cats are most comfortable when their routines, territory, and personal boundaries are respected. Whether your cat is an outgoing socializer who wants immediate playtime or a sensitive soul who needs a quiet presence and time to warm up, I adapt my approach to fit their unique personality. I focus on providing low-stress, highly reliable drop-in visits and care. I understand that subtle changes in a cat's behavior or appetite matter, and I pay close attention to the small details that keep them feeling safe and happy while you are away. I’m currently retired after 27 years as a federal civil servant. I’ll have plenty of time to care for your furry family members and house sitting needs. I am experienced in managing multi-cat dynamics, tracking wellness routines, and creating a calm, predictable environment. I would love to schedule a free meet-and-greet to get to know you and your cats before booking.

About: Animals have a way of knowing right away if someone is truly present with them. I believe in developing that trust and making a new furry friend. Whether it’s an energetic dog ready to explore or a cautious, reserved cat who needs space before asking for chin scratches, I have an affinity for connecting with pets and treating them with respect. I have experience managing schedules for both dogs and cats keeping feed times, maintaining routines, and making sure your home stays clean and secure while you’re away. I currently work part-time, but I can adapt to your needs at a moments notice. I’m available for boarding on weekends and even weekdays if needed. My approach is based on consistent, clear communication and keeping your pet feeling completely secure, regardless of the environment. I honor your established routines, from feeding schedules and medication timing to timed habits and walk routes, predictably is key. If an unexpected situation or question ever arises, I will contact you immediately rather than guessing. Above all, I treat your home with total respect and care for your pet with the same attentiveness, patience, and safety standards I would expect for my own

About: I am a fur mom of 16 years. Your fur baby will be loved and nurtured with me, the same as they are with you 🧡As my oldest fur baby was 16 and required special attention, I am able to provide extra TLC for seniors.

I’ve never had biological children but I love all fur babies just as they are mine own 🐶🧡🐱 I work a hybrid schedule; working remotely on Fridays. During the Summer months (June - August) I am 100% remote. I accommodate fur babies with working parents!

About: I’ve worked many professional jobs that have allowed me the opportunity to work with cats and dogs from all ranges of breeds and ages. I have my own dog as well as 5 household cats! I love the joy pets bring into our lives and I enjoy caring for them. I’m flexible with most schedules and can incorporate them into my schedule. As long as I know of any changes ahead of time, I will always try my best to meet your needs. I respect others’ homes with the upmost regard and strictly follow instructions given i.e., “walk dog, ensure they have clean water, feed kibble” etc. Any specifics can be discussed and mutually agreed upon.
