I'm a teacher and have the summer off, so I am available most days all hours and some weekends in June, July, and August. The other three months, my boyfriend works from home most days so we team take care of the cutest pups together. Just let me know what you're looking for and I can work to your needs!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment, but have tons of green spaces nearby. We live near a dog park and take our pup there every single day (usually twice)! When I've dog sat in the past, the dogs love to play with other dogs in there, but if not I still enjoy going on walks all around downtown and even up to some park. I'm flexible and love to be outside.

Information Skylar P. would like to know about your pet

A typical day

My dog Benny LOVES to play with other dogs. He is very active and is a great companion to his friends. We typically go on two to three walks a day, no matter the season, and love to play inside. We have all different enrichment toys, balls, and plushies. We also often dog to neighboring dog parks or on walks near the potomac. We may live in an apartment, but we have no shortage of activities here!

Pet care experience

Growing up I had 4 dogs, 2 cats, 3 birds, and even mice and snakes at one point! Needless to say I've been taking care of animals my whole life. My mom used to bring home pregnant dogs/cats from the Humane Society and we would help them give birth/ take care of puppies until they found homes! I'm experienced with animals of all ages and all care. I dog sit every summer for family and friends as well! I currently have a two year old chocolate lab named Benny. He LOVES every dog he meets and could play all day! We love hosting new animal friends for Benny to meet and help ease your stress while working or on vacation.

Skylar was great with my two kitties. Easy to communicate with and reliable with her visits. I’d book with her again!

Skylar was amazing! She went above and beyond in her visits to make sure our pet had everything they needed, and plenty of love. She was really easy to communicate with and very responsive.
