Loving Pet Sitter in DC

I offer multiple services from walks to overnight dog sitting. This also includes any additional services like bathing or simply having fun with a frisbee at the park. I am located in the DC area, but I am willing to travel for any pet sitting service. I have had many dogs and cats of my own for over a decade now. Most recently, I had a 10 year old senior chihuahua who I cared for, so I am comfortable with older dogs as well.

I would recommend Atiya to all! She watched our puppy at last minute notice and was very communicative, kind, responsible, and cleanly. She send us steady updates and our dog loved her. Thank you Atiya!

Atiya was amazing! She stayed at our house for a week and took care of two dogs and a cat. One of the dogs went on a hunger strike and she was patient and creative in trying to get her to eat. She eventually shared her own dog’s food and treats, and that worked! Then she left a baggie of it for us when she left. Incredibly kind and a great communicator. The house was perfect when we got home as well. Highly recommend Atiya!

Atiya took great care of our pets. Our house was emasculate when we got home. She was very responsive.

Atiya is truly one of the best walkers/sitters we’ve had. Coco is always so excited to see her and having Atiya as an option is truly a godsend. We had Coco do her first overnight stay and we got so many pictures and updates which helped ease our nerves. Definitely can’t go wrong booking her!

Safety, trust & environment

I live near a big and grassy dog park where dogs can walk around if they ever get bored of walking around my apartment and neighborhood.

A typical day

I love taking dogs for walks so they can get some exercise and playing with them if that is what they prefer. If your dog likes to play, please ensure to include their favorite toys for overnight stays as my senior dog does not like to play with toys at his age.

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or takes any medications (both orally or via injection). My former senior dog took medication, so I am comfortable administering medications.
