Paws, Playdates & Belly Rubs

Hi, I’m N’Dia! 🐾 Hi, I’m N’Dia—aka your dog’s future BFF and belly-rub supplier! 🐾 I grew up as an only child with Giant Schnauzers and Rottweilers who were basically like siblings, so I’ve been fluent in “animal” since day one. I started pet sitting and walking in college as a side job, but quickly realized there’s nothing better than hanging out with furry friends. Whether your pup loves long walks, endless games of fetch, or just a solid cuddle session on the couch, I’m here to make sure they feel loved, safe, and entertained while you’re away. With me, your pet gets all the snuggles, scratches, and silly conversations they could ever want. 💜 Can’t wait to meet your four-legged family member!

I’m a first time Rover user, and we were so fortunate to come across N’Dia to board and care for our Sammy boy after we rescued him from the streets. The timing of our rescue wasn’t exactly ideal, with a preplanned three week vacation right around the corner, so finding someone we could truly trust with him meant everything to us. We are incredibly grateful for N’Dia and the care she gave Sammy while we were away. She is so warm and full of life, and that clearly extended to Sammy. We had such peace of mind knowing he was safe, happy, and so well cared for during those three weeks. I will absolutely be using N’Dia again in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. And I’m pretty sure Sammy may have even turned N’Dia into a cat lover! ❤️🐾

N’Dia was superb, and we were able to enjoy our family vacation worry-free knowing our dog was well cared for. We will definitely be repeat customers!

N’Dia was so sweet and professional! I really appreciated that she was able to take our pups on short notice. She was great at communicating throughout their stay. Would definitely book again!!

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable—whether in my home or yours. At my home, I’m lucky to live at The Wharf in a pet-friendly building that has its own dog park, perfect for playtime and socializing. I’m also just a short walk from the National Mall, which makes for fun and scenic walks to keep pups happy, active, and stimulated. In my clients’ homes, I follow their routines closely to ensure consistency, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or cuddle time. I believe pets thrive when their routines are respected, so I bring plenty of patience, love, and attention to detail to make sure they feel at ease while you’re away.

A typical day

Our walks will be around what ever location I pick the dog up from. We will run and play and will will go to a dog park if available.
