Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced pet caregiver
I’ve cared for pets ever since I was a child. Most recently, I cared for a hound dog for 7 years and currently going on 4 years caring for a cat. I trained my dog who had no exposure to cats prior to me adopting one. They ended up living harmonious together. I go above and beyond, even finding joint exercises and massages for a senior dog I had as he was aging. I see pets as family, especially having no children, so I’d love to make myself available for those in need of caretaking because I have the capacity.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Jala is one of the most devoted dog lovers I’ve ever known. Her dog was her heart, and she cared for him with a level of commitment that was truly inspiring. Even on her most exhausting days, she still found joy in walking him for miles across the city. Playtime wasn’t a chore; it was a ritual, something she poured hours of love and intention into. She understands dogs deeply, treats them with respect, and brings warmth, patience, and genuine affection to every interaction. Families can trust that their pets will be cared for with the same love and devotion she gave her own.

Schedule
I’m currently flexible when it comes to pet care as I am self employed working from home. I can easily adjust to the owners pet schedule because of the flexibility of my daily and weekly routine.

Safety, trust & environment
There are many dog parks, trails, and walkable areas where I live in the DuPont neighborhood within the DC metro area. Depending on what your pet is used to, luckily there are many amenities within proximity that may fit their typical routine and lifestyle.
