I have over a decade of reliable pet care experience in the DC Metro area, including dog walking, pet sitting, drop ins, medical care, and emergency calls. I'm an absolute animal lover. Whether you own a bird, cat, dog, frog, lizard, hamster or ANY companion, your pets' individual needs come first with me. I want your beloved pets to be safe, happy, and well taken care of. I have lived with and cared for many cats and dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities over the years. Local references can be provided by satisfied clients. I have a natural affinity for animals: I find they are quick to love and trust me, even those that are normally scared or distrustful of people. I am observant and focused – you can be assured that I will take your pet’s health, happiness and well-being seriously. If you would like, I’m happy to send you regular photo updates during our time together to show that your pet is getting the exercise and attention you expect. I am also experienced with overnight stays. If you’re going out of town or on vacation, your pet can enjoy the comforts of home while your house is well tended to. Have your indoor and outdoor plants watered, lights turned on and off, and mail collected every day by someone who is clean, quiet, and thoughtful. I have my own reliable transportation, so I can take your companions to the park, make emergency trips to the vet, pick up pet supplies, or handle other needed errands. I'm insured and we are fully vaccinated.
