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 is awesome with the boys! They love getting to spend time and have sleepovers at her house. I get lots of pictures and videos and the boys are always having fun! She is the only person that I trust to watch my boys!

I felt very comfortable leaving Obi with Payton and her husband for two nights. They were responsive and sent photos and videos, and Obi looked relaxed and like he was having a great time. I would definitely book with them again!

She’s a Disney Princess for dogs. Very sweet, thoughtful, and accommodating. I’m so glad we found her for our nervous pup

Payton and Graham were great! They made our dog super comfortable in their home. They also provided frequent updates, which made us happy to know how our dog was doing. We will definitely be using their services again!

Graham and Payton have created doggie paradise with their puppy palace! For a dog who comes from a quiet house, it was a great fit - no small children or other dogs for my princess to navigate.

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!
