Availability

I stayed home with my kids but now they're 9 and 12 so I have plenty of time during the day. My schedule is 100% flexible weekdays 8AM - 4PM and my kids are begging for a second dog so your pup will be well loved. Our dog (a 45lb mutt) doesn't go upstairs or in our basement apartment so everyone has plenty of room to spread out.

Experienced Sitter Obsessed w/ Pups

Pet care experience

We've had our pup since 3 months old so I have experience with puppies and adult dogs. I jog with our dog so if your pup is energetic that's my jam. My kids are 9 and 12 and would love nothing more than to snuggle your pup (our dog is not much for snuggling) and I stay home so have plenty of time to care for your fluffy companion. Before we got our dog we dog sat for every friend in town - my kids spent a few years asking for a dog :)

Vera has been pet sitting my 75-pound English Pointer, Bella, on and off for the past two years, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is warm, friendly, incredibly reliable, and has a genuine love for dogs. Bella absolutely adores her, and it’s such a comfort knowing she’s in such caring hands whenever I’m away. Vera always keeps me updated, makes sure Bella gets plenty of attention and exercise, and treats her like one of her own. Every time I pick Bella up, she’s happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. If you’re looking for a responsible, kind, and attentive dog sitter, Vera is a fantastic choice. I trust her completely with Bella and will continue to use her whenever I need a pet sitter.

I can't recommend Vera enough! She took such wonderful care of my dog during an overnight stay. In another instance (when Vera wasn't available to dog sit and I ended up getting into town later than expected) she kindly picked my dog up from doggy daycare, making the whole situation completely stress-free. She loves dogs and treated my dog just like her own. When my dog was with Vera he was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. Knowing I could count on someone so reliable, flexible, and thoughtful gave me incredible peace of mind.

I can't recommend Vera highly enough as a dog sitter! She is responsible, dependable, and conveniently located in Logan Circle. As a mom of two, she's patient, organized, and cares for others with warmth and attention to detail. It's clear that Vera treats every dog like part of the family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, you can trust that they'll be in excellent hands. If you're looking for someone reliable, kind, and truly passionate about animals, don’t hesitate to hire Vera!
