Happy to spend quality pet time!

Pet care experience

I am a young professional and graduate student with lots of love to give an animal since I do not yet have the lifestyle to have one of my own. On days I don’t work downtown, I have great flexibility due to my ability to work mostly from home. I love being active and will take your dog on a nice walk around town! When you have to be at work or leave town, I’m here to make sure your dog is cared for. I have had dogs in my family growing up, cared for roommates’ dogs, pet sat for friends’ dogs, and worked with various rover clients. If you choose me to take care of your dog, know that they are in safe, attentive, and adoring care with me.

Incredible dog sitter!! Our dog was very comfortable with Kirby and settled in very quickly. Our dog can be shy and anxious and based on Kirby’s frequent updates and photos, we could tell that our pup was unusually at ease with Kirby. Kirby took our dog on many walks and she came back to us well groomed and very happy!! Would definitely use again.

Kirby was WONDERFUL with our Stella. Super attentive and sweet to her and kept us updated with pics and stories the entire time we were away. Will absolutely be using her again in the future for Stella’s stays when we’re away. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our girl, Kirby!

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that I should be aware of. Do they like to chase squirrels on walks? Hate bikes/skateboards? Love getting scratched behind a specific ear? Let me know!

A typical day

I love to take dogs out on walks that are both physically exciting and filled with new sights and encounters. I will tailor my time with your pet to fit their particular personality and needs. Want to go on a hike to rock creek? A jog by the Potomac? A lap through a different neighborhood than last week?
