About: I have been around dogs since I was a kid and got my first dog at the age of five. Besides my personal experience taking care of all the dogs my family and I have had throughout the years, I have also done dog/cat sitting (overnight and drop in) for family friends. I am extremely thorough in my care for animals as I realize they are a part of the family. I have no issues working with animals (although I have mostly worked with dogs) who have high levels of energy or specific requirements. I have also overnight sat for more than one dog at a time. I work remote and am often able to care for dogs throughout my day. With a flexible work schedule, I can ensure that I am taking care of your dog whenever works best for them! While I am in an apartment, I live alone and have a fairly large space. Additionally I am only a few blocks from various dog parks (if that is something you allow). I would do everything in my power to ensure that your pet feels that my space is a safe environment for them and will be sure to communicate frequently with the owner about any questions that arise.
“Luciana has kept our pup numerous times—for long stays and day boarding. We always know he’s in fantastic hands and completely trust her for all aspects of care. She send great photos and videos regularly. We will definitely continue to use her for any babysitting.”
About: Experienced in caring for dogs, cats, and small pets—feeding, walking, grooming, administering medication, and providing loving attention. Reliable, attentive, and comfortable with pets of all ages and needs. I am a full time accountant that works from home with plenty of time and flexibility to accommodate pups needs. I am available weekdays and weekends. I live in a smoke free, child free apartment complex with my husband. I can only care for one pet at the time and I do not have any other pets.
“Jisoo was wonderful with my dog (again)! He remembered her immediately from our last visit a couple of months ago and was extremely excited to see her. Jisoo sent me lots of pictures and videos throughout the day to keep me updated, and I could see that my boy was having a great time. I will definitely be booking daycare with Jisoo again in the future!”
“Leila came to my rescue w/ my last minute request for doggy daycare today. She responded quickly and made my Zoe feel so welcome at drop off. Zoe did not want to leave when I picked her up, which is a first. Leila is a dog whisperer! Thank you for your kindness and the adorable photos. Immediately had peace of mind knowing Zoe was in great care w/ a loving sitter. My girl Zoe can be a bit high maintenance but Leila never made me feel like an inconvenience. I highly recommend Leila to care for your fur baby.”

About: I’ve been dog sitting for friends and strangers alike ever since I graduated and moved to DC in 2019! It all started because I had such a deep love for dogs, but was not yet ready to have one of my own. Nowadays, I share an adorable little mutt with my boyfriend, and we split the care for her fairly evenly. Because of this, if you’re interested in boarding your pet, they need to be friendly with other dogs; ours absolutely LOVES them. Otherwise, I am happy to pet sit at your residence. Additionally, I have experience with elderly dog care and will cater to whatever their needs are. I’m a full-time corporate girlie with a flexible, hybrid work schedule. I’m normally in the office 2-3 days/week, but can work from home the entire duration of your pet’s stay, if that is desired. I’m happy to work with you to create the exact level of care and attention you desire for your doggo. Your pet would have free rein of the house while we’re home and would be kept in a separate room/ crate than our dog when we’re away. We do have a yard, although it’s not fenced in, so we let our dog run around on a 50 ft leash in the backyard; we could do the same for your dog!
“Mia enjoyed her daycare session with Faith & Arlind, particularly since she got to hang out with their dog Vivi. We appreciated the pictures they took as well as the frequent updates and coordination on drop-off and pick-up times.”
“Sabrina is awesome! Our dog can be a little anxious or defensive, but Sabrina made him feel right at home and by the time we arrived to pick him up, they’d become fast friends. Highly recommend doggy daycare with Sabrina.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—starting with the family dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters I grew up with. Over the past 20 years, I’ve provided trusted pet care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels, as well as cats with all kinds of personalities. I’ve raised two dogs of my own and currently live with a much-loved cat. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and deep understanding of animal behavior. Whether it’s a senior dog needing extra support, a shy cat who takes time to warm up, or a high-energy pup who needs structure and play, I adapt to each pet’s unique needs. I’m also experienced with basic puppy training and feel comfortable administering medication when needed. I treat every pet like family—with plenty of love, consistency, and attention to detail—because I know how much they mean to you. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for—whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’m organized, flexible, and committed to giving each pet the time and attention they deserve. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. --- Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort come first. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to ensure a smooth, low-stress experience. In your home, I respect your space, follow all instructions carefully, and keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos. If pets are in my home, they’ll enjoy a calm, pet-friendly environment where they’re never left alone for long and always treated like part of the family. --- ### My Pet Care Expertise My life has always been deeply intertwined with animals. From chattering birds and curious hamsters to graceful fish, independent cats, and loyal dogs of all sizes, I've had the joy of growing up with a diverse range of beloved family pets. This lifelong immersion in animal companionship, including personally owning both small and large dogs alongside my current cat, has given me invaluable insight into their unique personalities and needs. Today, my passion for pets continues through the routine care I provide for our **neighbors' and friends' dogs and cats**. This hands-on, consistent experience means I'm adept at maintaining routines, understanding different temperaments, and ensuring every furry guest feels safe, comfortable, and truly loved in a family environment. You can trust that your pet's well-being is my absolute priority. ---

“Amy saved the day for my chiweenie, Willar and I. Her pup Winston is a such a cute little guy and very mild mannered.

Currently, my "real" job is a Nurse Practitioner which allows me to care for your dogs in the evening and on the weekends.

Emily K.
“Over the past 7 years I've known Emily, her loyalty, consistency, and reliability has never waivered. She handles all tasks, small or large, with care and diligence. Whiskey, her family's beloved dog, is one of the greatest joys in her life. Every time I'm over at their house, she puts the needs of her dog first: walking up early to feed and walk him, endless cuddles, and lots of play time. Her dedication to her dog is the same dedication I see in our friendship. I know she will be an incredible caregiver to your own pets!”

Allison responded to a last minute request and was much appreciated. She was taking care of another pup and Saint had a great time with him from the pics i received. Her husband was super nice! More updates would definitely be appreciated would use Allison again!
Miryam took great care of our dog, Koby! He is very shy with new people and she did a great job of making him feel safe with her. By the end of his time with her we could tell he felt comfortable, which was a huge relief for us! We already have her booked to care for Koby again.
Megan has been absolutely wonderful and a treat to work with. She is kind, friendly, and very approachable. One day, my dog, and I were walking in the neighborhood and he brought me to her house because of how much he enjoyed spending time with her and her cutie Nova. Megan has kindly helped us watch and Walk Pinot, and every interaction has been nothing but positive and easy. I am completely at ease when my dog is in her care.
