Pet care experience
Couple's pet ~vacation~ services!
Hello! We're Sara and Mariano, a dynamic dog-loving duo based in Northwest DC. With years of experience as dog watchers and proud pet parents to Captain, our 40 lb Shepherd Mix, we offer a unique team approach to caring for your furry friends. Our love for dogs runs deep, having grown up with them and incorporating them into our daily lives. While we both have day jobs, Sara works hybrid, allowing us to provide around-the-clock care and attention to your beloved pets. At our home, every dog is treated like family. We tailor our services to meet the individual needs and preferences of each furry guest, ensuring they feel right at home. From neighborhood strolls to hikes and fun outings to local dog parks, we make sure every day is an adventure for our four-legged visitors. We take pride in creating a welcoming and relaxing environment for dogs in our care, making their stay feel like a vacation. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, snuggles, or simply lounging in the sun, we are here to cater to their every whim. If you're looking for a loving and attentive dog watching service in Northwest DC, we'd love to hear from you! Feel free to send us a message to discuss your dog's needs and schedule a stay with us. Your furry friend is sure to have a tail-wagging good time with Sara and Mariano!

Ratings and reviews
Our dog, Bridey, looooves staying with Sara and her husband and their dog. She's always happy to see them and we know how well they look after her. Thank you!!
Sara did a fantastic job taking care of our two dogs. She kept me updated, sent photos, and was very accommodating with my dogs’ “quirks”. My dogs were well cared for and happy when I returned home. I would definitely book Sara for dog sitting again!
Sara took such great care of our dog, Nola. She sent regular updates and was super responsive to all of my messages! I would definitely recommend her if you’re looking for someone to watch your dog!
We love having our dog stay with Sara! She’s so responsive and kind, and our dog loves Captain!
Bridey has a wonderful stay with Sara and her husband! They were super communicative and kind and we would definitely send Bridey to stay again!
Sara was very professional, sent us several pictures and overall took great care of our dog Jackie. She even brushed her out before we picked her up!

Between the two of us, our schedules are very flexible. We work during the day hours, with one of us having a hybrid schedule. Weekends are spent at home with the furry ones!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
If you are considering booking a service for dog boarding I will go over the details of your pet’s routine to fully accommodate their needs. For my drop in visits or overnight stays I am comfortable with whatever routine you already have established for your pet(s).

A typical day
I love going on long walks in my free time which is a perfect exercise not only for me but for the dogs! We also enjoy our weekly trips to our local dog-friendly establishments and dog parks.
