“Kelly was amazing with my dog! From the initial meet and greet to scheduled walks she has been very caring and I fully trust her with my dog. She has diligently followed instructions for care and a natural with my dog. Would book again!”
About: I grew up with one or two dogs (labradors and spaniels have a soft spot in my heart) at any given time and have had plenty of experience walking and caring for their needs. Bathing, walking, playing, giving medication, cleaning up their messes… etc. I also have experience house/dog sitting over the past several years. I have cared for both dogs and cats separately and together. Currently I’m between jobs and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule during the work week and weekends and am excited to meet your pets! I am currently in between graduate school and starting work. I live in West End/Dupont Circle/Foggy Bottom and I can be flexible in that general area and Georgetown/Logan Circle during the work week and most weekends! I don’t host pets in my own home, but I am always respectful of other people’s homes. I’m tidy and respectful of others spaces and rules for their pets.
“Julie was absolutely incredible with my puppy. She was attentive, sent lots of pictures, and let me know if there was anything wrong at all times. Will definitely use her again!!”
“Rachael was incredible - always prompt, gave regular updates and took amazing care of my senior pups. She was a pleasure to coordinate with and always responsive. I’d gladly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I had the pleasure of raising my two pups from infancy at the same time - and they’re 10 and energetic now! I am very energetic and love all kinds of dogs, so happy to help! I work from home and am quite flexible during most work days! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m happy to accommodate any daily routine for your dog. I am very active so I can walk them on check-ins and definitely take them out for restroom breaks I have two dogs at home and they love to play with other dogs if your dog is friendly, and if not happy to hang out and take care of your dog alone as well. Whatever you and your dog are most comfortable with!
About: I have taken care of my family's dogs ever since I started highschool. I have taken care of dogs from puppy stage all the way through senior dogs. I currently work a remote job out of Dupont Circle. This means I have very flexible hours during the workday and post work day. Willing to work my schedule around yours. Given my work flexibility, I am able to stay at parent's homes for dog sitting pretty much any day of the week, 7 days a week. I am also pretty much able to do walks at any hour of any day.
“Katherine was extraordinarily communicative, professional, and flexible even on short notice. I had so much peace of mind knowing that she was taking care of my pup while I was at work.”
About: I grew up taking care of my dog and two cats and am familiar with the different components of taking care of both pets, whether it be walking, playing, feeding them, and more! I am currently working entirely remote and have open availability throughout the week, including throughout the work day! I’m happy to accommodate your scheduling needs :) As a person who grew up with pets, I have become familiar with the importance of establishing trust with a pet. I’m very reliable, trustworthy, and kind to pets and their owners!
“Cooper was so excited to see Gracie for their morning walk! This was the first time she had walked him but he recognized her from our meet and greet. He had fun on their walk with his ball and she sent tons of pictures. Thanks so much!”
“Stephanie was very communicative and easy to reach. Took great care of Lena, got her plenty of exercise (despite a somewhat stubborn dog), gave her water and treats. Did really well with Lena her first time! Will definitely ask her to watch her again”
About: Hi I’m Marina, I live in Dupont Circle and have loved animals my whole life! I grew up with a Saint Bernard amongst other pets, but have experience watching friend’s, family member’s, and neighbor’s pets, including dogs, cats, birds, and even guinea pigs. I am looking forward to getting to know you and your pets, and hope to provide the same level of care and love you show to them! I work from home only a few hours a week and make my own schedule, so flexibility is a strong suit of mine! I also recognize the need for animals to be cared for around the clock, so I think my schedule accommodates that well. I unfortunately cannot own pets in my own home, however I am completely willing to learn the best way to care for your pet in your home! Like us, pets have varying needs/wants, so the most important thing to me is keeping open communication with pet parents.
“I highly recommend Melany for pet care. She is a consistent dog walker with excellent communication. She is empathetic with both of my dogs, one of whom is highly anxious, and has provided excellent care.”
About: I've spent years fostering dogs and cats, and have had a household full of dogs since I was old enough to remember -- from Mastiffs to Chihuahuas, if there's a dog breed out there, I've probably shared a home with them at some point. I have experience taking care of dogs with medical and mobility needs (my current family dog is a 16 year old blind pitbull!), as well as a range of energy levels. I’m a grad student, so I am fairly flexible in the hours your pet may need care! I am happy to do weekends, evenings, and early mornings as well. I love walking dogs and giving them all the love! Whether a pup wants couch time or run time, I'm here for it. I also love figuring out the nuances of cat affection and each of their very unique personalities, and am ready to find ways to play that make them happiest!
“Alyssa is the best pet sitter out there. She has been the best walker we have had to care for our anxious younger pup and our old lady senior pup. Cannot say enough good things. Highly recommend!”
About: I have had pets my whole life. I currently have a cat who I adore! I will give your pet the best care possible, and I look forward to meeting your fluffy family members! I work from home most of the time so have the flexibility to take care of your pet throughout the day and night as needed. I will tackle any special pet needs and requests in the home and on walks. Please let me know if any specific instructions for the pet in house!

“I can’t recommend Joe enough as a pet sitter and dog walker. He is one of the most reliable and caring people I know—truly someone you can trust with your furry family member. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just some quality playtime, Joe treats every pet like his own. He’s attentive, responsible, and genuinely love animals, which always shows. I’ve seen firsthand how pets gravitate toward him and how he goes above and beyond to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog with kindness, consistency, and a whole lot of love, look no further.”
