About: Pups 'N Us Pet Care Services has proudly served pets and their families throughout the DMV area since 2021. As a family-owned business, we are committed to providing safe, reliable, and personalized care for every pet entrusted to us. I am currently pursuing a career in veterinary medicine as a Veterinary Technician and am Fear Free Certified, allowing me to provide care that prioritizes your pet's emotional well-being and comfort. My experience includes caring for puppies, senior pets, anxious pets, and pets with special medical needs. I am comfortable administering oral, topical, eye, and ear medications and have experience with ear cleanings, nail trims, bandage care, wound monitoring, and post-surgical support. Our goal is simple: provide a safe, enriching, and loving environment where pets can thrive while giving their families complete peace of mind. Pups 'N Us was also honored as a Neighborhood Favorite on Nextdoor in 2024, and we are grateful for the trust our community continues to place in us. My schedule allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, playtime, enrichment activities, and individualized attention throughout the day. I work hard to maintain your pet's normal routine whenever possible, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, exercise, and rest periods. Whether your pet enjoys active play or prefers a quieter environment, care is tailored to their unique personality and needs. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my highest priorities. As a Veterinary Technician and Fear Free Certified pet care provider, I understand how important it is to create a calm, low-stress environment where pets feel safe and secure. I carefully monitor all pets in my care and take time to learn their routines, preferences, and individual needs. I have experience caring for senior pets, puppies, anxious pets, and pets requiring medication administration. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and prioritize positive interactions, proper introductions, supervision, and plenty of opportunities for both enrichment and rest. I treat every pet as if it were my own and believe trust is earned through communication, reliability, and compassionate care. Pups 'N Us is a cage-free, open atmosphere. We allow all our paw pals to roam around the home as if it were their own. We treat all our guests as if they were our own pups. What sets us apart is not just our years of experience, but our commitment and love for community and family. We treat each pup as unique, catering to their specific needs and preferences while creating lifelong relationships with our pup parents. We are so happy that we get to meet so many new pups and their families. We are excited to welcome you all to the pack!

About: My love of dogs began when my mom got a puppy when I was in sixth grade. Now I am a dog mom. I've been the proud mom of a Boston Terrier/Frenchie mix for the past 4 years. I've raised her since she was 3 months old, through potty training, puppy training and intermediate training. I'd love to care for your fur baby too. I'm at home during the day and available to drop in/ walk your fur baby. I am available in the mornings and in the afternoon. I have an unfenced end unit townhouse. There is grass on the side of my house and plenty of unfenced grass in my townhome community. I work from home almost every day of the week so I will have time to take care of your baby during the weekday. I'm able to get out and walk dogs on the weekends. I have an unfenced yard and a fenced play area in front of my house. I have a friendly fur baby who likes to play and thinks she's the leader of the pack.

About: My partner and I work together to provide reliable and attentive house sitting and pet care throughout the DMV area. I currently work part-time as a concierge, which has strengthened my professionalism, attention to detail, and respect for building security and residents’ privacy. My partner is studying online to become an electrician, which gives him a flexible schedule and a strong sense of responsibility and problem-solving. We also have a cat of our own, so we understand the importance of routine, litter care, enrichment, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior. Caring for animals in their home requires patience and attentiveness, and we take that seriously. Together, we have experience caring for dogs and cats of various sizes, ages, and temperaments. Working as a team allows us to provide consistent supervision, maintain routines, and ensure pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. We are comfortable with: • Small to large dogs • Senior pets • Multiple-pet households • Following detailed feeding and care schedules We prioritize clear communication, cleanliness, and maintaining a calm, secure environment at all times. Our goal is to provide dependable care so you can travel with peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into our routine. I work some night concierge shifts, which gives me flexibility during the day to maintain feeding schedules, walks, and check-ins. Spending time outdoors with pets is a great balance after overnight work, and I enjoy being active with them. My partner studies in the evenings, so we are both structured and routine-oriented. Having pets in our care fits well with our schedule, as we prioritize consistency, fresh air, and daily activity. Because of our schedule flexibility, we are able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening care while ensuring pets receive attentive and reliable supervision.

About: I’ve always had dogs in my life! I adopted my first dog, Beth, in 2015 when she was just 14 weeks old! Through her, I learned what it means to make sacrifices for others while also loving the process! She was very easy to train on my own, but sometimes her intelligence causes her to be mischievous! During the pandemic, I adopted my second dog, Buz at 8 months old. Unfortunately, he was a stray and came with severe resource guarding leading to numerous fights with Beth. Because of this, I put him in multiple rounds of training and learned for myself what it means to support dogs through and watch for triggers dealing with aggression. Because of them both, I am very watchful of dog behaviors and am not afraid of big barks! If I could, I’d have many more dogs! I am a teacher in SE DC, so during the school year, my availability is primarily evenings and weekends. During the summer, my availability is very open! I am very attentive and respectful of others homes, dogs, and instructions. Knowing that my own dogs take a minute to warm up to someone knew, I will be sure to follow specific routines or guidance given! Your home will remain as it was when I enter!

“Sereniti is so great to my pups and they adore her! Even with my last minute booking, she helped me out so much and I am so appreciative. I know Blu and Louise are in good hands when she is with them!”

Jessi S.

“She really went above and beyond taking care of my cat. I got thoughtful updates, photos, and could tell my cat was genuinely comfortable and cared for the whole time. It made being away so much less stressful. I came home to a happy cat and everything in great shape. I’d absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

Aklesiya A.

“Nyair is the absolute best pet sitter. She watched our cats over Thanksgiving break. We booked 4 days. She was patient, caring, considerate and professional. She is my permanent pet sitter!”

About: I grew up with many pets. For example, I’ve had 6 birds, 3 hamsters, 1 dwarf gerbil, 1 leopard gecko, 2 cats, 2 dogs, and possibly more. I currently have 2 dogs. Both are rescues. Jasper is 2 years old and I’ve had him since he was about a month old if even that, and Raleigh who is 7 now. I’ve had her since she was 2. Aside from the doggy babies, I also currently have a brown anole that I took in from Florida. His name is Tommy and I’ve had him for 4 months now. He was a baby when I found him. I also have 2 fish, Gumball and Penny. I personally believe all animals are babies. I’ve also pet sit for family members before. I’m currently working part time and I’m not yet in school. I do have a lot of free time, and because I don’t live alone I have people home to help take care of my furry and scaled friends, where as some people may need some extra help that I’d be able to provide! I was raised right. I’m respectful, do not cross boundaries, and know better than to disrespect clients (human and animal, of course!) I’m a big empath, I love animals beyond comprehension. I’m a vegetarian that’s working my way to veganism if that can show you how empathetic I am. I also cry while watching Ratatouille. I love walking, I love talking to animals, I treat animals as if they are literal babies because they are just too cute!

“Steven once again came to my rescue last-minute!! He checked in on my puppies with only a couple hours notice. He took great care of them and gave them lots of love! I highly recommend Steven to care for your pets! He is awesome!”

“Best dog walker I have had through Roer and overall. Doggie and momma loves him!!”

About: I’ve always loved working with animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and providing calm care for shy or anxious pets. I’m very attentive to behavior and body language and always aim to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule. I’m available for walks and drop-ins. Mornings and early afternoons work best Monday-Sunday. I prioritize giving each pet the most amount of exercise and attention while keeping their routines and schedules consistent and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority so I create a calm, clean environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, exercise, and routines. In addition to that, I closely monitor your pets during walks and playtime. Recently I began including regular updates with photos and texts so you feel confident while you’re away.

“Mya is a Godsend!! After going through a couple subpar dog sitters, Mya is such a breath of fresh air. She responds quickly and is always on time. She takes the time to map out the routes that she walked with our pup and sent pictures every visit, as well as a summary of the day. Our pup truly loves her and she was a huge asset in helping to care for our him amidst our crazy schedules.”
