Dog Sitting Mount Rainier

“Penny clearly loved Abigail's visits, and was happy and healthy when we got home. Abigail is communicative and flexible, and we appreciated her help very much!”

About: was raised in a family with a long history of breeding and caring for working dogs, and I have been around dogs since I was three years old—nearly 30 years of lifelong experience. I grew up feeding, walking, and caring for breeds ranging from Scottish Terriers and Collies to Borzoi, Belgian Laekenois, and Berger Picards. This background has made me comfortable with dogs of many sizes, temperaments, and activity levels, including large and high-energy breeds. I have also provided paid care for cats and dogs while their owners were away, including feeding, walking, companionship, and administering pills, liquid medications, and topical treatments. I have experience supporting senior pets with mobility, lifting, and gentler handling, while watching closely for changes in mood or behavior. I’m dependable, attentive, and respectful of each animal’s individual needs. With anxious or shy pets, I move slowly, read their body language, and respect their boundaries, allowing them to become comfortable with me at their own pace. I take owners’ instructions seriously and care for every animal with the same thoughtfulness and affection I would want for my own pets. I work in Foggy Bottom from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays, so I’m available for early-morning and evening care, as well as overnight house-sitting. I may also be able to provide lunchtime visits for clients near Foggy Bottom. On weekends, my schedule is flexible throughout the day, giving me plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and companionship. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, play, and household access. I pay close attention to pets’ body language, mood, and behavior, and I never force interaction with an anxious or hesitant animal. I double-check doors, gates, collars, harnesses, and leashes, and I will promptly contact the owner if I notice any change or concern. I treat every client’s home with respect and every pet with patience, affection, and attentive care.

“Alex was great! Very responsive and accommodating. I’ll definitely book her when I’m in need of a sitter for my cat in the future.”

“Anthony was a phenomenal dog sitter. We needed a reservation with little notice because another sitter backed out on us, and he made sure to make it work, and even came to meet the dogs prior to the first pop in visit. He took care of our dogs' needs in every way we could expect. He kept us informed with any questions or needs. Honestly, he is the best sitter that we have ever had on Rover, and we truly hope that we can book him again in the future! 6/5 stars hands down!”

Kyle R.

“Erica was communicative, friendly, and very thoughtful when it came to taking care of our two cats!”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who genuinely enjoys providing pets with loving, attentive care. I offer overnight boarding and daycare, as well as in-home house sitting. Having provided pet and house-sitting services for over 10 years, I understand that many pets feel more relaxed and secure in their own familiar environment. Whenever possible, I love giving them the opportunity to stay comfortable in their own home while building trust and a connection with me. I have been working with a private pet-sitting company since 2021 and remain committed to my clients there as my first priority. I welcome additional pet-sitting and boarding opportunities whenever my schedule allows. My professional background includes HR and nine years in hospitality management, both of which have strengthened my organization, reliability, communication, and attention to detail. I bring that same level of professionalism and care to every pet and family I work with. I also occasionally foster dogs when my schedule permits. If I have a foster in my home, I will always let potential clients know in advance to ensure it’s a good fit for everyone. For over 20 years, my family and I raised two wonderful rescue dogs who lived long, happy lives. Although they’ve since passed, they will always hold a special place in my heart. I’m not quite ready to adopt again, but I absolutely love having dogs around and enjoy sharing that love with other people’s furry family members. Service Areas: Tysons, Great Falls, Reston, and Chantilly in Northern Virginia, as well as Washington, DC, and Bethesda, MD. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving, capable hands. References are always available upon request! I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! Because of my open availability and flexibility, I am able to provide boarding at my home, as well as day-time doggy day car with ample walks. I live in an apartment (one flight of stairs) in LeDroit Park. There is a great dog park a few blocks away and ample walking areas in the LeDroit Park neighborhood with many local pups to greet!

About: Growing up in Arkansas, I had all types of animals, ranging from large dogs to small chinchillas. Currently, I’m the owner of two cats — and I love animals. Looking forward to helping you take care of yours! I currently work full time Monday through Friday, but I would love to spend time with your pet on the weekends! My availability on weekends is super flexible, and I’m happy to accommodate any needs. I currently live in an apartment, where I do not host any pets. However, I’m happy to stop by or stay at your home to take care of pets! I also love walking around the city, so dog walking is the perfect side hustle for me!

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 as well as my own. I have experience with all sizes of dogs and all temperaments. I am always open to spending time with your dog if you are away and can give them the play time and active time that they need. I am on the job search, so my days are pretty much free. I would be able to be with your dog for as much time as needed to play, walk, cuddle, and hang out. Outside time would be walks and backyard/dog park (if applicable). I can crate if needed and I always make sure the leash/harness is on correctly for safety and comfort.

About: I’m a junior at Howard University and a lifelong animal lover with a dog of my own back home. Since I can’t spend every day with my dog while I’m at school, I’d love the opportunity to share that same love and attention with other pets! I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, supervised, well-fed, and active. I’m attentive to their routines, make sure they get proper exercise and bathroom breaks, and keep a close eye on them to prevent them from eating anything they shouldn’t. Whether your pet needs daily walks, drop-in visits, or a comfortable place to stay, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I am a junior at Howard University with a flexible schedule throughout the week. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I have one in-person class at 10 AM that lasts about 50 minutes, leaving me available for most of the day. Tuesdays are my busiest day, as I have classes and commitments from approximately 8 AM to 4 PM. Thursdays and most weekends are generally flexible. I’m happy to coordinate walks, drop-in visits, and boarding around your pet’s needs and routine. I’ll always communicate my availability clearly and make sure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. As a pet owner myself, I understand that your pet’s safety and well-being come first. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, fresh water, bathroom breaks, walks, and making sure pets don’t get into food, trash, or other items that could be harmful. I live in my own apartment on campus at Howard University and am open to boarding, depending on your pet’s needs and compatibility with my living space. I’m also happy to provide walks and drop-in visits at your home. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your pet’s routine, and keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in caring hands.

About: For the last five years, I’ve lovingly cared for dogs, cats, birds, and homes while folk were away doing what they needed to do. Whether it be an animal, young or old, an indoor garden, or your home all together, I am experienced, qualified, and eager to help care for your loved ones.

My schedule is open and highly adaptable. for my home, I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to roam. I’m also walking distance to a dog park and other parks. I have feeding bowls, harnesses, a cage fit for smaller animals. This varies depending on the needs of the animal
