Highlights
Pet care experience
Two-legged companion
I’m a DC-based pet sitter and dog walker offering house sitting, drop-in visits, dog boarding, and overnight pet sitting across the District, including Navy Yard, NoMa, Adams Morgan, and Capitol Hill. Before adopting my own rescue nearly 10 years ago, I spent four years volunteering at my local humane society. Between my decade of personal pet ownership and shelter experience, I know that our pets are family and they deserve exceptional care, comfort, and consideration while you’re away. I work 100% remotely from home, which means your pet will never be left alone for long stretches! Because my schedule is completely flexible, I’m able to offer: Frequent Potty Breaks & Midday Walks: Perfect for puppies, seniors, or dogs who thrive on a consistent routine. Medication & Routine Care: Experienced with sticking strictly to feeding schedules, oral medications, and special care instructions. Whether you need a full-time overnight house sitter or overnight pet sitting while traveling, or reliable midday walks while you’re at the office, I’d love to care for your fur babies. Reach out today to schedule a free Meet & Greet!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Every morning, afternoon, and evening I go on a walk for at least a mile. This, of course, can be modified to fit your pet's needs, whether that be for longer or shorter depending on your pet's preference, breed, and activity level. Aside from an active lifestyle, I have a calm demeanor and quiet personality, perfect for animals that require some time to adjust to new people.
Ratings and reviews
Mariaam was absolutely perfect for Chewy! She sent me consistent updates and photos and I could tell that he was well loved and cared for while I was away. I would definitely ask to book her again!!
Mariaam is great! She is a responsive and knowledgeable cat sitter, and always treats our home well.
Mariaam has watched my dog several times and has always been great! I can trust that Bailey is well taken care of when I’m away
Mariaam was so lovely with Daisy! She was punctual, followed all of my directions (Daisy was on medication after a few very unexpected vet visits!) and was patient with her during her stubbornness of not wanting to be outside. I sincerely appreciated her being flexible with us and Daisy was well cared for and seemed to have had a great day!
Mariaam was great with our cats and conscientious house sitter! She is a great communicator and asked thoughtful questions about our pets.
Mariaam was great with walking Toby. She is very responsible and attentive, she really put me at ease with her updates. Most important, my nervous dog had fun on their walks!

- It would be helpful to know: -Does your dog have a strong prey drive? -Is your dog a “dog’s dog” or would they prefer human interaction? -Does your dog have any emotional triggers? -Does your dog have a history of getting into squabbles when around a lot of other dogs? - If you had to use a color to describe your dog’s personality what would it be?
