Pet care experience
Belly rub professional
Hi 👋 I currently live in Bethesda with my wife Sophia, and Sherlock, our curious kitty detective. We met Sherlock as an alley kitten during a recent trip to the Greek Islands and we were instantly inseparable. After some paperwork and all the necessary shots we were able to bring Sherlock back to the US and give him a forever home. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and frequently sit for friends and family. I am very excited to meet and care your fur-babies. It is important to me to communicate clearly and ensure you feel like your pet is in good hands. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you have.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am currently unable to board other pets, as our cat is not yet socialized to other animals. At this time I am available for sitting at your place, taking your pup for a walk or checking in on your cats. Your pet's safety is my top priority. Please make sure the vet info on your profile is up to date and let me know
Ratings and reviews
Berel did a great job caring for all THREE of our dogs including our senior dog and our puppy concurrently. He gave us consistent updates and was able to juggle multiple needs of different dogs like meds. We look forward to having the dogs spend time with him again!
No wonder Sholom has such amazing ratings! He truly is a find. Sholom dog sat/house sat for us for 3 days. From the start he was very personable and friendly. Always responds quickly. He was so wonderful to both of our dogs, each with their own idiosyncrasies. One of our dogs is very timid and scared due to her past before us. Sholom knew some good tricks to help her feel more comfortable and the next thing you know I'm getting pictures of her snoozing next to him on the couch. He went above and beyond on taking them for individual walks and even an extra one before he left on the last day. We will definitely hope to have him come again!! Thank you so much Sholom!
Sholom was wonderful with my sweet but shy dog and my elderly cat. He kept in touch with me on a regular basis from the time he arrived until he left and sent pictures along with his texts. I'll definitely use him again.
Berel was amazing! I got pictures, I got peace of mind, I got a clean house on my return! What was really over and beyond was when my flight was cancelled, Berel was able to come back over and take my dogs out again. Can't say enough good things and will definitely be hiring him again!
Sholom was super helpful when we needed a dog walker last minute. He was communicative and reliable. Will definitely use him again for walking our pup!
For the past few years, Berel has been my go-to dog watcher when I go away on trips. He has developed a very good relationship with my Bernese Mountain Dog and I totally trust him. He is very easy going, patient, and reliable. Definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a dog watcher or dog walker!
