Pet care experience

Available over Labor Day Weekend!

I have owned dogs my entire life and held many dog-sitting jobs throughout college. I am very intuitive and know the Capital Region well, so I am able to find the best walks and treatment specific to your pups! I enjoy being active and am excited at the opportunity to keep your dog healthy and active as well. I also have a car so getting to and from your home will be done with ease so I can focus my time on caring for your dogs with long walks, playing and feeding. I work remotely, so I have some flexibility with scheduling. I am open to dog-sitting at your house as I have done for up to two week periods of time for families with many dogs throughout DC.

House Sitting • Oct 21, 2025

Ally was both house and pet sitter while I was away for 10 days. Everything went incredibly well! My two small dogs were able to stay in their own home and keep to their schedule. Ally made sure they were walked and fed and loved in my absence. She kept the house clean and even had the sheets and towels she used washed and in the dryer when I came back. We kept in contact while I was gone by text, and she sent photos of the dogs to me, too. Having Ally with them gave me peace of mind so I could relax and enjoy my vacation. Thank you, Ally!

Ally is a great person and an amazing dog companion. She has taken care of my dog Ricky many times, who is a chihuahua-collie mix. She is so loving with Ricky and often takes him on long walks and trips to the park.

Ally is a outstanding dog sitter/walker. We used her on two separate occasions when we were traveling out of town for a week . She came and lived in our house taking care of two dogs while we were away. She did a terrific job. House and dogs were in perfect condition upon our return. I think we can all agree our pets (dogs) are important family members. As such, it is important that they are well taken care of and that means finding the right/trustworthy care giver. Ally is that person. The question that must be answered is: Would I use Ally again to take care of my dogs? Ans. Without hesitation.

Ally is a wonderful young woman who is very responsible, respectful & caring. She has a great big heart and is very lovable, which makes her the right person to take care of your fur babies. I feel she is perfect for this position!

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I should be aware of. For long dog sitting, I have a preference for hypoallergenic breeds but I can be flexible.
