Your furry best friend is mine too!

Pet care experience

I've been called a dog whisperer by friends and family! I have cared for dogs for most of my life, but am unfortunately without one since moving to DC. Luckily, thanks to Rover I have developed amazing friendships with clients and their pups (and cats!). Even the most notoriously shy dogs tend to feel right at home with me. I am loving, active, and playful and can offer a safe and stimulating environment for your pup. Whether a dog is shy or loves to play, I can care for it and am not afraid of cleaning up whatever mess they may leave behind. I have experience dog sitting multiple dogs for extended periods of time, but would prefer to limit my services to one dog so that they may be more comfortable in a new home. My boyfriend is my partner in dog sitting and fellow animal lover; between the two of us, we never leave pets alone for long! Due to the amazing clients I have gained over the last couple years who enjoy having me look after their dog from their home, I have added in-home sitting as an option. I am happy to watch your pet(s) from the comfort of their own home and ensure your space is safe and clean as you travel. For references, please just ask! I prefer that this service is limited to the Glover Park/Georgetown area. My regular clients will let you know that I often offer discounted rates for return visits. I love your pets like my own and enjoy making it easier on the owner! My rates will absolutely never increase on you.

Hunter was wonderful and she clearly loves dogs (and cats!). Anyone should feel very comfortable leaving their pets in her care.

Hunter was an awesome and convenient sitter for my dog, Thor. They both enjoyed their time together on his stay. I was kept up to date with photos and texts throughout my time away. It was comforting to know Thor was being spoiled and taken care of as if he was her own. Hunter was very active with Thor and kept him busy with doggy play dates and consistent attention. I highly recommend Hunter and I will definitely be using her again!

Hunter was AMAZING. Professional and friendly, I couldn't have asked for a better person to take care of my cat while I was out of town.

Hunter hosted our 4 year old terrier in her home. She was very attentive and caring both to us and our pup throughout our dog's stay. Would love to work with her again.

Information Hunter H. would like to know about your pet

I would prefer that the dogs are not aggressive as I live in a very dog-friendly area where we see other pups all the time. I don't have a specific breed preference, but I have a little extra love for miniature schnauzers, golden retrievers, German shepherds...and really any pup :)

A typical day

We're lucky to be surrounded by not one or two, but THREE wonderful dog parks! If your pup is social, I am thrilled to have made friends with many clients in the area who love getting together for dog dates. If not, we're happy to do solo walks and relax on the couch together. While dog sitting, we almost exclusively eat at restaurants that will allow pups to join us (see pictures for proof! we love bringing the pups wherever we go).
