“Sheila takes such good care of my dog!! She is heaven sent!!”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs and I enjoy playing with them. I look forward to meeting your dog and enjoying their company.

In addition the Anacostia park is nearby and for more fun walking.
“Latoya and her daughter were great and Rocky was very happy when we picked him up.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was about 10 years old ! I have always been the kind of person who takes in a stray cat or dog or at least feed them. Anytime anyone needs a pet sitter they call me and I gladly provide the services needed ! I currently own two cats who have been raised around dogs due to me being a temporary foster home for pets ! My cats are also friendly towards other cats ( due to the amount of cats I temporally foster ) I’m currently unemployed but I do have a online business which allows me to have an open schedule. With having more time on my hands than the average person I am able to provide care at any moment notice I live in a dog friendly neighborhood with a full sized state park less than 10 minutes away ! What that mean is your dog will get in all the exercise they needs while exciting their sense to a world of unfamiliar smells and sights !
“Dakota had an awesome time with Melissa, Taylor and their pup crew. Dakota doesn’t take to men very well, but she loved Taylor. She couldn’t get enough of him. She was tuckered out when she got home. I received pictures and messages throughout her stay, so I knew my pup was in great hands. I will definitely be using Melissa and Taylor again and again.”
About: Hello, my name is Anthony Gonsalves and I have recently worked with “Wag!”. What I love about taking care of pets is the fact that it doesn’t feel like work when I do. I’ve always had a love for walking and watching dogs and I think this will be a great opportunity to expand my experience with dogs on this app as well as making an income out of it too. I think this will be a great experience and I would love to walk and / or sit your dog (or even cat). I will take time out of my day to make sure that your pet is safe and also has a fun time while in my care and I would like to have an opportunity to do so. I have several different hustles and a part time job so pet care fits into my schedule seamlessly. I also have been experienced in pet care for the past 5 years. My building is very pet friendly, however the majority of the time, I go to the owner residence to take care of said pet or animal.
About: I have experience pet sitting for families during vacations, caring for their dogs and cats. This includes feeding, administering medication, and providing companionship, which helped alleviate the pets’ anxiety during their owners’ absence Use a planner or digital calendar to schedule pet care activities around work commitments. Establish a consistent routine for feeding, walking, and playtime to help pets adjust and feel secure. I ensure my home is pet-proofed by removing hazardous items, keeping toxic plants out of reach, and securing trash cans. I also provide a comfortable and safe space for my pet to relax and sleep. Emergency Preparedness: I have a plan in place for emergencies, including a list of important contacts (veterinarian, pet poison control), and I keep a pet first aid kit handy.
About: Since 2019, I’ve been providing loving, reliable pet care with experience in dog sitting, house sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and more. I bring high energy, patience, and genuine passion to every animal I care for. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy cat, or a senior dog who just needs gentle companionship, I show up with consistency, love, and respect for their unique needs. Your pets are family—and I treat them like it. I’m a full-time caregiver with a flexible, free-range schedule—I don’t work a traditional 9 to 5. When I’m not cat or dog sitting, I’m usually babysitting, doing side gigs, or making deliveries with Uber Eats and DoorDash. My days are adaptable, which allows me to give plenty of attention, care, and time to the pets I’m responsible for. I’m available for check-ins, walks, and overnight stays based on what your pet needs! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, clean, and safe environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and comfort. In my home, I keep the space cozy, pet-proofed, and welcoming with lots of love and supervision. In the client’s home, I respect the space and maintain their pet’s normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I send regular updates, photos, and always go the extra mile to ensure your pet is happy and cared for like family.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I’m very responsible and take care of everything that is in my care. I love helping everyone. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little.

About: I've been drawn to saving and helping animals my whole life. I can't imagine my life without animals, helping them is the thing that fills me with so much energy to keep going. I love interacting with them, I love making an impact so they can have better lives. I would love for it to be something I can do for a living! I can't imagine to be fulfilled in any other job . A regular workday usually goes about like this: 6am - Get up, go for a short (15 minute or so) walk. 6:30 - Breakfast in food-dispensing toy for dog, coffee for human. 7:45 - Human leaves for work, dog sleeps in bedroom. 4:45pm - Back from work. We spend about an hour walking, fetching, playing, training. 6ish: Dinner (food-dispensing toy for the dog). Hang out for the rest of the night. Dog might get a kong or bone to chew on. 9: Short potty break before bed. Dog then retreats to bed for the rest of the night. The specific tasks and level of care provided depend on the individual needs of the pet and the services offered, but generally include feeding, grooming, exercising, monitoring health, and providing companionship.
“Max was kind and friendly from the start and it was clear that Boocha had a very fun time with him and was very well cared for! She doesn’t usually eat her regular meal when she’s away from home, but she ate it right up while in Max’s care - this is a big sign that she was comfortable and happy. We highly recommend Max!”
“Katia and her family were personable. Upon my arrival with family and Eva and Ezra, they were anxious initially. After we picked them up, we learned that they settled in very well and were provided pictures during their tenure. Overall, my family and I had a pleasant first experience.”
“If you truly love your furbaby and don't want to stress about their care and safety, Stella is the right sitter for you! The level of care and professionalism she brings is unmatched. I felt confident leaving my Syder with her. 10/10 🔥 Thanks Stella!”
About: I love dogs but I travel for work so dont have the time for my own. So instead im offering my services to pet sit/board your dog when I'm home. I had two ridgebacks so I'm comfortable with large dogs. I work from home 95 percent of the time so being at home with dog majority of the time is pretty easy for me so I can take a dog out during the day if needed. I have no pets at the house so your pet will not have to interact with any other pets and will get my undivided attention.
