“Pauline walked/fed our senior dog during the holidays and was so great! She made our dog feel comfortable, was super communicative and sent lots of pictures, and put our minds at ease while we were on vacation during the colder days of the year. Will definitely book with Pauline again in the future - thank you!”
“Nick was great! Arrived perfectly on time and took Rio for a nice long walk. He sent cute pictures too..I really felt like my pup was well taken care of!”

About: Hi there! I'm Lilly! I have worked with animals for almost all of my life, including dogs, cats, and even horses and bunnies! In addition, I have had the privilege of volunteering at animal shelters and helping my family foster pets. I am gentle, patient, and responsible with all animals, not afraid of messes, and listen to what pets need, from sleepy seniors to high energy babies. You can be sure I meet your needs, and give your pet lots of love and attention. I work from home most days and have a flexible schedule. I am happy to do drop-ins, dog walking, and overnight stays. I am available T, TH, F all day, M & W evenings, and all weekend. Your home and pet's safety is my top priority. I provide clear communication with daily updates and photos. I take your and your pet's routines very seriously. I work with anxious and less sociable pets. I am happy to administer medication.
About: Although I grew up around dogs, I didn’t truly become an animal person until I adopted my own cats a couple of years ago. Now, I GET it. I love giving attention and love to my friends pups and those I pass while walking around my neighborhood. I love and appreciate how different cats and dogs are and love them all the same. I am flexible and attentive to what each animal needs, whether a dog needs a long walk or wants to socialize, or if a cat just needs a drop-in and someone to play with string with them. I’m very comfortable dropping in on both cats and dogs, so feel free to reach out to me for both! I work remote and love to go on walks, so I can accommodate most hours to drop-in on pets or take pups on a walk! I will always gently greet your pet and let them sus me out before. If cats have taught me anything, it’s about consent. I like to let the animal lead when getting to know me.
“Maya came over and met with Kiki before their first walk. Kiki - who is often shy - seemed immediately comfortable with Maya. Their first walk seems to have gone perfectly! Thank you Maya for your gentle and communicative style. Definitely recommend Maya for others in the neighborhood!”
“Atin has been such a blessing to our family and especially our pup Solace! She is timely in communication, flexible with our dynamic schedule and takes great care of our sweet pup. We feel very comfortable with her taking Solace on walks from our home. We highly recommend Atin!”
“You get top-notch service with Krystal and be 110% confident that your dog will be in great hands. I'm lucky to have her as my regular walker and my dog loves her. She's nurturing, professional, flexible, and a great communicator. She even goes the extra mile for things like wiping the sidewalk icemelt chemicals off my dog's sensitive paws and drying off my dog when she was soaked. :-) Thanks for everything, Krystal!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since 8th grade, both house sitting and going on walks and playing. I’ve worked with dogs small and big, young and old, and anything in between. I have two dogs of my own here in DC. I love long walks if they can handle it. No matter what your preference is though, I will abide by it. I’m excited to take care of your dog for you whether it’s overnight or just for a half hour walk around the city. I’m close to Walter Pierce, Kalorama, and Meridian Hill Parks and would love to play fetch with the dogs but anywhere and anything works with me. I’m laid back and flexible. Can’t wait to meet the canine family members. I’m currently able to watch or walk your dog(s) with maximum flexibility. Morning, afternoon, and nights. My calendar is up to date and free for any bookings. I will be able to walk, crate, feed, give medicines, and am familiar with quirky dogs so I can follow any particularly instructions. I have 2 dogs at home and if your dog is small and comfortable with others, they are free to stay at my house. Otherwise, I can drop in, walk, and house sit from yours (to be clear, my 2 dogs would remain with my partner, not come over to yours).

Lillith S.
“I have a 5-year-old Border Collie mix named Dany who is extremely high energy, super smart, and to put it mildly, is very particular about people. She takes a long time to warm up to someone new and is very vocal about her boundaries. When they first met, I was prepared for the standard slow introduction and defensive barking, but Lilly showed Dany that she respected her boundaries. She paid attention to her cues, gave her space when needed, and let that trust build naturally. Somehow, she earned that trust FAR quicker than I expected. Now, Dany is absolutely OBSESSED with Lilly and has earned that Best Friend status. Every visit is a full-blown party, complete with full-body wiggles, excited howls, joyful prancing, endless games of fetch, and of course, and unlimited belly rubs. She gives Dany the same exact care and attention that I would give her, and treats my dog like family. Lilly has that rare ability to just connect with animals in a genuine and natural way. She is a compassionate, patient, and trustworthy sitter and I'd trust her with Dany any day of the week.”

Drew G.
“My dogs are a part of my family and I would only want someone to care for them that would be as concerned about their safety and well being as I would be. Drew is one of the people that I can count on to provide high quality and loving care for my dogs. Drew has provided care for my golden retrievers for many years. He is responsible and dependable. Most importantly, he will love, play and attend to your dog like they are his own. I highly recommend Drew for your dog sitting needs.”
