Pet care experience

Flexible and caring sitter couple

I’ve grown up around dogs and have had many family dogs since childhood, so caring for pets has always been a part of my life. Over the years I’ve looked after dogs for friends and family, and since moving to Washington, DC I’ve also cared for both dogs and cats, including feeding, playtime, walks, and staying at the owner's home when needed. I’m a freelance graphic designer, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to work from home or from an owner's home, so pets can often have more company and attention during the day. I’m comfortable following each pet’s routine and needs, whether that means feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or reinforcing basic training habits. I enjoy spending time with animals and paying attention to their personalities and comfort levels. My wife is also around on some weekdays and all weekends, and helps care for pets as well. We live right across from Meridian Hill Park, which makes walks easy and enjoyable, and our residence also has a small dog park. Our building is very pet-friendly and home to many dog owners, creating a welcoming environment for dogs.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 09, 2026

Bruno and his wife were great! They both are very nice and trusting people. They made drop off and pick up super seamless and provided plenty of updates throughout the stay. I’m someone who worries easily when my pets are away, but having Bruno as a sitter made me feel at ease. Would most definitely recommend!

Bruno was so accommodating and understanding! He was flexible with pick up and drop off location and time. He was patient with my little barkier-than-usual pup!

Dog Walking • Jun 11, 2026

Bruno and Victoria have walked and dog sat for my dog on multiple occasions and have also done some cat check ins. It is apparent that they are animal lovers and treat others' pets as their own. My dog is always ecstatic to run into them in the neighborhood so I know they take great care of her and give her lots of love while I am away. They have always been very communicative and reliable and are willing to work with my dog as she has some reactive behaviors on leash. I would definitely recommend booking Bruno to care for your pets!

Great work from Bruno. Milo came back from their afternoon together happy, well cared for and (most importantly as he’s a high energy dog) well exercised and nicely tired. Strong recommend for Bruno, thanks again.

Schedule

I'm very flexible as I only work part time and from my laptop, so I can work around your pet's schedule. I’m available for boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks, and I’m happy to adapt to your schedule and your pet’s usual routine to make things as easy and comfortable as possible.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets by creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment while respecting their usual routine and habits. Whether in my home or the owner's home, I make sure they receive attention, playtime, exercise, meals on schedule, and a space where they can feel relaxed and secure.
