Dog Sitting Hillcrest Heights

About: All dogs need a friend who will run with them, chase sticks and get a little dirty. I’m here to make the city feel more like a jungle and less like concrete. I grew up in VA, working on a farm and playing with all kinds of pets, so I’m not afraid of big dogs. I’m a former D1 athletes, and I work in education, with a background in child and animal care so high energy pets are no problem. I’ve pet sat exotic breeds of dogs for cash during undergrad at Georgetown; I’m also comfortable with high need pets! I’m down to clown but I’ll always put your pets safety first! As a data guy I’m big on little details and enjoy it following instructions. I make it into a game. I also live with a fellow rover person!

“My girl Nera loves her time with Natasha. Natasha always arrives on time and communicates clearly with me. I appreciate all the photos and notes she shares after their visit since it makes me feel confident that the visit went well and my pup is happy :)”

About: Hi! I’m Tamara, and I’ve been an animal lover my whole life 🐾 I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets—their personalities, their quirks, and just making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I offer pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I always try to tailor care to each pet’s needs. Whether that’s long walks, playtime, sticking to a specific routine, or just keeping them company and giving lots of attention, I’m happy to adjust. I know how important it is for pets to feel comfortable in their own environment, so I focus on keeping things calm, consistent, and stress-free. I’ve had experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, temperaments, and needs, and I’m very attentive to details like feeding routines, medications (if needed), and behavior changes. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, and I work in a way that allows me to spend quality time with the pets I care for. I’m reliable, responsive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family member 💛 I’m currently y working part-time so have plenty of time to take care of your babies. I have plenty of dog and cat toys to play with, grooming stuff etc. I have a partially fences yard and a medium size dog and 3 cats to keep your babies company. If I come to your house, I make sure I follow your instructions closely

About: Hi! We are Lauren and Tinoi, two passionate and dependable pet lovers who believes every pet deserves to feel safe, happy, and loved even when you’re away. We’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years, and at one point were the fur parents of a total of 9 dogs at once, so we're very comfortable managing multiple pets, different personalities, and varying energy levels. Our love for animals runs deep, and our (well Lauren's lol) long term dream is to retire on a few acres of land where we can rescue and care for as many dogs as possible. With us, your pet will get more than just the basics. We provide attentive care, fun walks, and plenty of affection to make sure their routine stays consistent and stress free. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship, we tailor our care to your pet’s unique needs and personality. We understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so we prioritize clear communication and regular updates, including photos, to give you peace of mind. You can count on us to treat your pet like my own, with patience, kindness, and lots of love 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine! Lauren works remotely from home and has a very flexible schedule, which allows her to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, not just during quick check-ins. Tinoi works a 9–5 schedule, and together we plan to share the care to ensure pets always have companionship, supervision, and support throughout the day. We are available for walks, playtime, feeding, and check ins, and can adjust our routine to meet each pet’s specific needs. Whether your pet needs frequent potty breaks, extra companionship, or a steady schedule, we’re able to provide that. We’re also flexible for boarding and pet sitting during both the week and weekends, making it easy to accommodate your schedule. Caring for pets isn’t something we fit in, it’s something we prioritize, so your pet will always receive reliable, attentive care 🐾 We provide care exclusively in our home, where pets enjoy a safe and comfortable environment with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. We also have two friendly dogs who can offer companionship, and we always take time to ensure proper, gradual introductions so all pets feel comfortable and relaxed. Lauren works from home, which allows her to provide consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. Tinoi helps share in the care as well, and together we make sure each dog receives regular supervision, exercise, and affection. We do our best to maintain each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. For safety and structure, we require that dogs are crate trained and comfortable being crated when we are away from home and overnight. This helps ensure they stay safe, secure, and well rested in a familiar routine. Our goal is always to create a calm, loving environment where every pet feels at home 🐾

“Katherine was so sweet to my baby girl Luna! It was our first time ever using a dog sitter & she totally helped me feel comfortable with the whole process. She went above & beyond for my dogs needs. She also responded very quickly & had flexible availability. I would recommend Katherine to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”

“Cynthia is wonderful! She takes excellent care of my dog and cat and always goes above and beyond to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She’s reliable, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. She’s also one of the very few people my cat actually likes—which says a lot! Highly recommend her!”

About: I can play with your pets for hours without ever getting bored. I am a good hugger. Your pet will be for sure in safe hands I am living here alone, so I have plenty of time to take care after pets. Mainly I am free during weekends. I can do after 6 pm during week days. I do have huge balcony. My neighborhood is safe to walk dogs, and there are several parks around. My living space is also clean and tidy, the pet will be in comfort

About: I’ve lived with and managed 2 large dogs (over 100) and 2 cats under 1 household, engaging them in play and providing them attention while their favorite humans are away! I’m currently taking time away from traditional work (I was a federal employee for a decade) and so I have a very flexible schedule! I love animals so this felt like the perfect way to provide support to my neighbors while also supporting myself. I do drop in visits so I will spend as much time as requested with the pets up to a 2 hour window, playing with them, feeding them, and giving them affection and exercise!

“We loved Delina and our cat loved her too! Delina is a great communicator, on time, and honestly very easy to talk to. Highly recommend her and will be hiring her for pet sitting again in the future!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have always had a special connection with them. Since my dog passed, I know how hard it is to find a loving and safe place to leave your pet and have peace of mind while you are away. Enjoy your time away with the knowledge I’ll be sending you updates and photos of the adventures and fun we’re having. Lots of great long walks in a dog-friendly neighborhood in DC (literally steps away from the National Mall!!). Very welcoming home for dogs that are welcome and enjoy lounging on the furniture. Experienced in providing dogs with medications and special requirements. Most of all I love having four-legged friends around. I am available weekdays and most weekends. i can easily manage full-time care for your pet or pets — worry free! My office is just a few blocks from my home and can readily accommodate daytime walks Let's connect! I live in a secure pet-friendly building. I keep my home “pet safe” ensuring nothing could injure or harm your dog. If you allow your dog on your furniture at home, i am completely comfortable allowing your dog to relax here.

“Sherry was a wonderful sitter for my two kitties! She was very kind and interactive with my cats- a true animal lover! I am a crazy, over-the-top cat mama and felt so comfortable leaving my spoiled, very playful girls in her care. She followed their care instructions perfectly and went above and beyond in staying longer to play with them and sending tons of great pictures! They both looked so comfortable, happy, and playful and I am so grateful! I will reach out to Sherry anytime I need a sitter. Thank you so much!”

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: Let us know your pet’s eating habits/preferences and if your dog has any special needs or behaviors we should account for. We also love to know what commands your dog knows so we can speak their language and help enforce whatever training you are working/have worked on. I'm currently working from home so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! For boarding, I am available during the week and weekends. During a typical day, I love taking the dogs around the neighborhood to let them explore new smells and get their exercise. I'll also let them play in the fenced backyard. If you're comfortable with it, I'm more than happy to make visits to the dog park too, where they can have a blast. For more relaxed dogs or on days with bad weather, we can enjoy indoor activities like playing fetch, engaging in tug-of-war, and having cozy cuddle sessions with the pets.

About: I have been a professional Dog handler and sitter for 6 years and have trained many house dogs as well as service dogs. I love all kinds of dogs and always strive to give them the love they all deserve! I am a full time dog handler and have worked along side other dog trainers/boarders throughout the years in both the U.S. and the United Kingdom A home with a small front and back yard for the dogs to exercise/play in as well as a long forest walk area directly infront of the house to walk in. I usually crate train the dogs pretty easily to get them used to being inside one incase I step out or to have them sleep at night.

“Checked in and did a great job!! I will definitely be booking again.”

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.
