Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Kalorama

About: My own golden retriever lived to nearly 15, and caring for her through every stage of life is what gave me a real understanding of what dogs need and what their owners worry about. I don’t take that lightly when I’m caring for someone else’s dog and I treat each one as if they were my own! I’ve worked with dogs of all ages and personalities, from brand-new puppies to seniors, and from the shyest wallflowers to the most enthusiastic greeters. I’m comfortable with leash training for puppies and administering supplements and medications for older dogs with established routines. Midday walks are one of my favorite parts of the day, and I’m also available for drop-in visits when that’s all your pup needs. Either way, you can count on your dog getting genuine, attentive care while you’re away. As a remote worker, I have a flexible day and would love to break it up with outdoor activities with your dog! Aside from times when I have meetings, I am available to go and let out your pet or go for an outdoor activity. I always defer to the owners instructions for a visit and follow them to a tee. Whether your dog just needs a quick outing and play time inside or a longer walk in a certain route, I am able to provide whatever your dog needs to have a good visit!

“Navya took such great care of our kitty cat while we were away! She went to check on her the same time every day and sent updates and pictures about how she was doing. Zuzu was a happy girl when we got home and very well taken care of! We will definitely book Navya again when we’re in need of someone to take care of our baby.”

About: I’ve cared for my own dog for 7 years and have also helped out with pet sitting for friends. I know how important trust is when it comes to caring for your furry loved ones. I will treat your pets like my own - with patience, plenty of affection, and consistency in line with your needs! I’m currently job hunting and have a lot of flexibility for drop-ins and walks! I’m an early riser and also available during both days and evenings. I’m committed to making sure your pet feels cared for and secure. Safety and comfort is most important. I will follow your instructions carefully, use safe walking routes that either you prefer or I have mapped out ahead of time, and will give your pet the same love and attention I give my own!

“Jayla is such an incredible sitter!! She was wonderful enough to come over prior to staying with my cat to do an in-person walkthrough, and send me several photos every day of Henry! I have no doubt she was incredibly kind and caring toward him, and she is a lovely person to communicate with in general! I will definitely be calling Jayla again in the future:)”

“This was our first time using Rover for our cat, and Emi is phenomenal! She made the meet and greet easy, and we could tell right away that our cat was going to be in good hands. Emi is super responsive, detailed in her updates during drop-ins, and great about sharing a mix of photos. If you want peace of mind, book Emi!”

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, especially cats, so I naturally understand their Needs and unique personalities. Even though I’ve never owned a dog of my own, I’ve cared for many dogs through friends and family — from puppies who need full attention to older dogs who need extra patience and care. I also have experience giving pets oral medication, so I’m comfortable following special routines. My goal is always to give each pet the same love, comfort, and attention I’d want for my own! I am currently a full-time student at Howard University so I have class everyday. With any free time I have on my hands not studying or in class, I’d love to help! Im happy to take your pets on walks, give them fresh food and water, and spend quality time with them so they feel cared for while you're away. Im gentle and attentive, making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Building trust is very important to me, and treat one like my own! :)

“This was our first time having Elliott sit our cats in a new city, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better! He was super responsive and attentive to their needs. We will definitely book him again!”

Valentina C.

“Alaina was great with my 4 kitties, she played with them and made them comfortable while I was gone for a weekend. Kept them active and with full belly’s! 10/10 would book again :)”

Meaghan E.

“Alexander took really great care of our cat. He spent time playing with her and followed our instructions perfectly. He was easy to communicate with and sent several sweet pictures of her each visit. Sometimes pets seem stressed when you come home from a vacation, but we came home to a calm & happy kitty.”
