Highlights
Pet care experience
Pro Sitter | Yard & Deck | NW DC
Based in Petworth/Brightwood Park in NW DC, I am a lifelong animal lover and professional pet care provider with 15+ years of experience. I founded my dog-walking business in DC in 2009 and built a loyal client base on one thing: treating every dog like my own. Experienced with all sizes and temperaments, I carry professional liability insurance for your peace of mind. I share my home with two miniature pinschers, so I understand what it means to leave a dog you love in someone else's hands. Please note: I require a 2-night minimum stay for all boarding. For large breeds, I'm comfortable hosting dogs up to 75 lbs.

Ratings and reviews
The pups had a great time with Stacy while we were away and I’m so thankful for the peace of mind knowing that they’re so well cared for!
Stacy is great, and provides reliable care. Our pup Ripley is always excited to come here to hang out.
We had a wonderful experience! She was kind, professional, and incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. We felt completely comfortable leaving Kal in her care, and it was clear he had a great time and really enjoyed his stay. We’d happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!
Stacy was great. Extremely easy to coordinate with and provided lots of updates while we were away. I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Stacy and we will book with her again!
Stacey was great! Very commutative and our Ripley had a blast with her dogs. We will definitely be using her in the future :)
Great communication! Very personalable, and you can tell has alot of experience. My dog had a great time.

Schedule
I work remotely, which means I am home and attentive throughout the day. Boarding dogs are never left alone for extended periods. They get regular outdoor time in our fully fenced yard, midday walks, and plenty of attention morning, afternoon, and evening. I require a meet-and-greet prior to all first-time bookings. Please reach out at least 5 to 7 days before your requested stay. Returning clients are welcome to book with 48 hours' notice. For holiday weekends, I recommend reaching out 2 to 3 weeks in advance as spots fill quickly. Pickup and drop off are available upon request for an additional fee. Please message me with your location for a quote. I serve clients in Northwest DC and surrounding neighborhoods.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priority. Boarding guests have a dedicated first-floor living space with access to a large deck and a fully fenced yard for secure off-leash time throughout the day. I maintain my own professional liability insurance for added peace of mind. My home is dog-proof and calm. I do not overbook, keeping the number of guests small so every dog gets individualized attention. I provide regular photo and message updates throughout every stay, so you always know your pup is happy and well cared for.
Pets
A typical day
My boarding guests start the morning with outdoor time in our fully fenced backyard, followed by breakfast on their regular feeding schedule. Throughout the day, they have free access to the deck and yard for fresh air and off-leash play. Midday includes a walk around the neighborhood or additional yard time, depending on the dog's energy level. Afternoons are relaxed with plenty of downtime and one-on-one attention. Evening includes another outdoor session, dinner, and a wind-down routine. I send photo updates throughout the day so you always know your pup is having a great time. Backyard off-leash play and exploring, neighborhood walks, fetch on the deck, and plenty of couch time for the snugglers. I tailor activities to each dog's personality and energy level. High-energy dogs get more active playtime, while calmer dogs enjoy leisurely walks and relaxed hang time. Every dog gets individualized attention, not just supervision.

- To ensure the best possible stay, I ask that all new clients share the following before booking: feeding schedule and diet,t including any food allergies or sensitivities, medication needs, including dosage and timing, veterinarian contact information, and any known medical conditions, behavioral history, including any reactivity toward other dogs or people, and emergency contact information. I ask that all dogs be current on vaccination,s including rabies, distemper, and bordetella. Proof of vaccination is required prior to the first stay. If your dog has any quirks, fears, or comfort items that help them feel at home, please share those too. The more I know about your dog, the better I can make their stay.
