Experienced, loving fur-baby sitter

Pet care experience

WHAT SETS US APART: If your dog has separation anxiety or just misses hanging out with their friends and owners, we are here to ensure they’re never alone. We provide constant companionship and care by coordinating our schedules so that at least one of us is always present. In fact, most times both of us will be with your furry friend, ensuring they receive all the love and attention they need. This dedicated approach guarantees that your dog will always feel secure, loved, and happily engaged while you’re away. We have nurtured our pup, Milo, from 8 weeks old and have a special knack for both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs with specific needs. I have always had dogs and cats while growing up and really have a deep love for them! Milo loves canine company, ensuring your pet doesn't just have a sitter but a playmate too. My boyfriend, Marcus, also does dog sitting with me so you would have two set of eyes looking over your fur-baby getting DOUBLE the amount of love and attention! If your dog is very strong and pulls a lot Marcus would be able to take care of them as he is very comfortable with handling strong dogs. Choose us for passionate, experienced caregivers and a fun-filled stay for your furry friend.

There is also a trail near Georgetown that we usually go on walks

Information Rhonda Z. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs/behaviors I should be aware of. Knowing the dog's usual schedule/activity level would be helpful too so I can keep his schedule consistent as usual so the dog feels comfortable.

A typical day

We like to go on at least one dog park visit near my home and one-two long walks at Rock Creek park or the Georgetown area. We also make enrichment activities for dogs for mental stimulation.

I recently graduated this February in Computer Science and International relations. I have a remote internship so I have lots of flexibility and spend all day with the doggies. I do not have other jobs/commitments so I have a very flexible schedule! My boyfriend is currently a part time student so he also helps out a lot. He is also interested in dog training so he is studying that currently.
