Pet care experience

Sitter w/ Fenced Yard, Works @ Home

I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and caregiver, with years of experience handling dogs of various breeds, ages, personalities, and sizes. My wife and I share our home with Coco, our friendly, neutered nine-year-old Chihuahua, who’s happy to welcome new furry friends. We also have a cat, Atenea, who is calm and accustomed to dogs that are respectful and cat-friendly. Our spacious home features a large, fully enclosed backyard, perfect for play, exploration, and supervised outdoor time. We typically host one dog at a time to ensure personalized care, or up to two dogs if they’re from the same household. We’re located in the Capitol View neighborhood of Washington, D.C.

Diego and Natalia are simply outstanding! They pour lots of love into our dog, Parker. I could not have hoped for better sitters.

Our 6 month old puppy, Rupert, had a great time with Diego and Natalia! He came home happy and tired. We were able to have a stress-free vacation and appreciated the video updates of Rupert having fun with his buddies!

Our pup loves to stay with Diego and Natalia and once again came home tired and happy from all the playtime in their backyard. We have complete peace of mind when he stays with them because we get lots of photos and updates! A great experience all around.

Diego and Natalia are simply the best! This time around I had to extend Parker's stay due to a medical situation and not only were they super accommodating, they went out of their way to stop by our house and grab more food for Parker. I could not hope for a better support network than the love Parker gets in their care.

Diego and Natalia are my top #1 sitter's. They are very intuned with Snow's disposition/temperment.

We had a great experience with Diego and Natalia watching Monty and Oliver. They were very communicative and sent lots of updates, photos, and videos while we were away, which we really appreciated. Our dogs are energetic and full of personality, and they were patient and great with them. We came home to two happy dogs and would definitely book with him again.

Schedule

Because I work from home, and my wife is also a big animal lover, your pup will rarely be alone and will get plenty of attention throughout the day. We’re available for care from early morning through late evening, and overnight stays are always welcome. Your dog will have plenty of cozy options, including extra beds, blankets, and toys, and Coco and I (and Atenea!) are happy to share our space.

Safety, trust & environment

My wife and I provide thoughtful, attentive care in a calm, well-managed home environment, treating every dog with the same care and consideration we give our own. Our spacious home includes a large, fully enclosed backyard, offering a safe and comfortable space for supervised play, exercise, and fresh air. We tailor each stay to your dog’s individual needs and energy level, whether that means neighborhood walks, play in the yard, or quiet time soaking up the sun. We share our home with a friendly small dog and a calm, dog-accustomed cat, and we’re intentional about introductions to ensure a peaceful, low-stress experience for all pets in our care. We’re happy to tailor each stay to your dog’s needs, whether that means neighborhood walks, a game of ball in the yard, or relaxed sunbathing outdoors. Our home is shared with a friendly small dog and a calm cat, so we’re thoughtful about introductions and ensure a peaceful environment for everyone.

Pets

A typical day

I work from home in policy and legal work, which allows me to be present, attentive, and responsive throughout the day. A typical day with us is structured, relaxed, and centered around your dog’s comfort and routine. Dogs in our care receive consistent attention rather than long stretches alone. We incorporate regular outdoor breaks, whether that’s playtime in the yard, a neighborhood walk, or simply unwinding together outdoors. Each day balances engagement and rest, with plenty of affection, calm companionship, and responsiveness to your dog’s cues, ensuring they feel secure, settled, and truly at home.

To help us provide the best possible care, we’d love to know: 1. Your dog’s daily routine (feeding, walks, playtime). 2. Any medical conditions, special needs, or dietary restrictions. 3. Confirmation that your dog is up to date on vaccinations and flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. 4. Your dog’s behavior and socialization with other dogs and people. 5. Whether your dog has experience living with or being around cats and how they typically respond. 6. Any fears, triggers, or anxieties we should be aware of. 7. Commands or training techniques your dog responds to. 8. Any specific rules or routines you’d like us to follow. Please also include emergency contact information and your veterinarian’s details. We want you to feel completely confident leaving your pet with us, so don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions about our experience or home setup. Our goal is for you to enjoy your time away, worry-free, knowing your dog is in safe, attentive hands.
