Pet care experience

Large yard and large hearts!

I watch small dogs, big dogs, and very old dogs. This means we will go for long walks, or I’ll carry your small dog around, so they can feel the breeze. My husband and I have been working on Wag! since we moved to D.C. in 2020. We’ve moved, and we have a large fenced in yard for outdoor enrichment. We also have an in-law suite that we turned into a doggie palace. If your pup gets along with our cats, they will be welcome to enjoy the whole house. If they aren’t into each other, my husband or I will sleep in the suite with your pet, so they won’t be lonely. Between the two of us, we are always home, so your family member won’t be alone. We are good at working with reactive dogs because we do a lot of distraction with treats on walks.

Payton and her husband Graham were great with Bean, and very responsive to messages. We received photos and videos throughout Bean’s boarding, and he seemed to be very comfortable in their space! We would definitely book with Payton again for future boarding!

Payton and her husband were awesome! Our dogs had such an incredible time with them, they almost didn’t want to leave. They provided updates regularly and lots of mental stimulation and walks for our pups. Can’t wait to use them again!

Indy loves staying with Payton and Graham so much that we're never sure if he'll want to come home and he's not a people loving dog!

Payton is awesome and she truly cares for my dogs. She takes really good care of them and gives me plenty of updates (pictures, video, and messages) while they're in her care. She is the only one in this area that I trust to watch my dogs!

Payton is an awesome sitter. She proved to be super responsive, proactive and kind. My two dogs loved staying with her and she was very attentive to their unique personalities and needs. Would absolutely recommend Payton as a sitter and would book again.

Payton is an AMAZING sitter! Before meeting Payton, I had used the same sitter for quite sometime and I was weary in having to find someone new but my nerves were immediately relived when I first met Payton for a meet and greet. Her home is perfectly set up as she has a designated area in her basement for dogs to roam free, play and be comfy and she has a fenced in yard which is perfect for outdoor fun and catching rays. She only takes one pup at a time which is appreciated especially with a needy, human obsessed dog :) Payton was easy to communicate with, very responsive and you can tell she genuinely enjoys watching over your fury loved one. In fact, I think my dog had such a great time with her and her husband that she was a little sad to leave. I got pictures and videos the entire time which was awesome as I got little snippets throughout each day on her activity. I would 100% recommend Payton and I'll be using her services again in the future! Thank you Payton!
