About: I have petsitted in DC for the last two years during my Master's program. I am careful to follow instructions and am responsible, always communicating if something comes up. I speak English and Spanish, can speak to your pets in both. Please let me know what your pets needs are and I am happy to work with you. My apartment pet policy is strict, I have no pets and can go to you -- Metro, bus, walking are my modes of transportation. Distance is not an issue if public transportation is accessible from your location and travel time is included in the request. My schedule is very flexible, I attend graduate school part time. I am an amateur pet photographer and am thankful for the opportunity to spend time with and photograph pets' unique expressions. I also love to draw cats and dogs. I am available any day except Wednesday, preferably after 8am and before 9:30pm,. I am finishing up graduate school and pet sitting helps me with expenses in the meanwhile. My schedule is generally flexible, we can discuss a time that works best. I send frequent updates, videos, and pictures. Please let me know of your pet's routines, any allergies, or behaviors to watch out for. I always wash pet's bowls and clean the litter box. If you can leave a few cleaning supplies (i.e. broom, paper towels), I can make sure to give a quick sweep of their litter box area for their comfort and hygiene.

About: My family has always had dogs running around our house so I have grown up with such a love for animals, and I currently have a 5 year old greyhound/chihuahua mix. I would love to help anyone with their pets whether that be walks, drop ins or overnight visits! I have experience with each of these both with my own dogs as well as friends' and family's dogs and cats. I am a very active and energetic person so I would be up for lots of playtime and walking/running depending on what your dog needs. Please reach out if you are looking for someone I would love to help! I work from home, so I am available anytime for drop ins, walks and overnight stays. Because of this, I am able to be home with your pet and have flexibility with timing. I live in an apartment with several parks around. I also have a small dog so they would have a friend to play with. She is great with cats as well and lived with several for extended periods of time in the past.

About: Hi there! 🐾 Meet Lele, my 12-year-old pup and best buddy since she was just 3 months old. She’s back home with my family while I’m working in DC, and I miss having her around terribly. So if your pet needs a pal, the feeling is mutual! ♡ I’ve grown up with Pekingese, Golden Retrievers, and Poodles, so I’ve learned that every pup has their own little personality. And cats? Back in college, I knew the campus cats by name and made weekly rounds to visit and feed them. :) These days, my neighbors trust me with their dogs. I work from home with a super flexible schedule, which means plenty of time for walks, playtime, and keeping your furry friend company. I always ask about your pet’s habits, quirks, and favorite things first. Whether they’re a cuddle bug, an energetic explorer, or a shy little introvert, I’m happy to match their energy (and respect their personal space!). I’ll keep you updated with photos and little stories, too. Your pet gets a loving companion, and I get the cutest coworker ever. Sounds like a win-win to me! ♡ I work remotely with a pretty flexible schedule, so there’s always room in my day for a furry friend! 🐾 I usually have about two hours of online meetings on Tuesday–Thursday mornings, but the rest of my week is quite flexible. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine, whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or keeping them company while you’re away. Feel free to reach out anytime. I’d love to meet your little one! Every pet has their own little personality, and I love getting to know it! Before each visit, I’ll ask about their routines, favorite things, little quirks, and anything I should watch out for. Whether your pet is a cuddle bug or a shy little introvert, I’ll follow their lead and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m especially happy to help with walks, feeding, and drop-in visits in their own familiar space. I’ll follow your care instructions, keep your home secure, and send plenty of cute photo updates! 📸🐕🐈

“Today was Cleo and Rockets first time meeting Jayme. He took Cleo on a walk and it went great. This visit is the first visit out of the 2 that we have scheduled with Jayme before we go out of town since he will also be pet sitting for us. Jayme was very attentive, listened well to our instructions, and asked the right follow up questions. Cleo and Rocket really like him so we feel great about having Jayme pet sit in our home while we’re out of town.”

“We had a great experience with Amber taking our dog on a few walks this week. She was communicative, punctual and kind! He is a large dog and she was confident with him and kept him safe while walking him. He was very, very happy to see her for the last walk of the booking which tells me how much he enjoyed his time with her. Will definitely book Amber again for any of our dog needs!”

Matilda W.

“Christie was fantastic with my pup! She was attentive, caring, and incredibly communicative throughout each walk. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker.”

Ramata S.

“Anne is very experienced and immediately got along with our pup (who can be picky). She also navigated a tricky situation involving an off-leash dog on our block. We have a high level of confidence leaving Maggie in her care!”

“Shae was incredibly easy to work with and instantly put me at ease. She arrived on time, bonded quickly with my dogs, and treated them like her own. She kept me updated throughout the day with adorable photos and let me know right away if anything came up. I’d absolutely book her again!”

Savannah D.

“Lila was amazing at taking care of my puppies. My sitter cancelled last minute and she was willing to come in last minute to take care of my dogs. She was extremely communicative and kept me in the loop about the dogs throughout the entire trip. I will be booking again with her.”

Karen N.

“Elizabeth was great and really appreciate the short notice booking to help out on a Saturday. Will definitely reach out for her help again.”

Marcy M.

About: I got my pup Jackson in 2015 at the age of 2. He was a scared timid little guy. With plenty of love and patience…he opened up to be the loving yet protective pup that he is. 2 years later I brought in his sister Harley and together they are inseparable. They definitely add much joy in my life. I used to work 5 days a week and occasionally on weekend. Healthcare will do that to you. Now I’m working 3 days a week and have more days off. With more days off I realized I have more time to help those take care of their fur babies. I’ll give your pets the same love and affection I give my own. As a rule to myself, I will give your fur babies individual love and affection. I won’t accept any other walks or sitting at the same time so I can focus on giving your pet the love and affection they deserve. Whether it’s taking them for walks or giving them some play time, know that they are in good loving hands.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, from high-energy puppies to older dogs who need a gentler pace. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, genuine love for animals, and commitment to treating every pet like family. I’m also experienced with leash training and basic commands. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break or a long, enriching walk, I’m here to help keep their tail wagging. I'm currently a grad student at Howard and I’d love to help families by giving their pups the attention and exercise they need while they’re busy or away. I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I can also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos, so they know their furry child is in good hands.

About: I specialize in drop-in visits and dog walks, with care tailored to your pet's unique needs and personality. Over the years I’ve cared for indoor and outdoor cats, dogs, senior pets, hamsters, and other exotic animals who thrive on predictable routines. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and adjust accordingly, whether that means play and engagement or quiet companionship. My goal is always to reduce stress while you’re away. You’ll receive thoughtful updates and photos after each visit, so you know exactly how things are going! My Thanksgiving availability is filling up, but I still have spots for Xmas this year! My calendar is up to date, but please reach out if you need flexibility. I take safety and respect for your space very seriously. I'll follow your instructions and ensure your pets get the best care. I’m COVID vaccinated and boosted.

About: I’m reliable, consistent, and very caring—I understand the importance of caring for pets. I’m good at administering medication, taking care of older pets, and making sure your pet is comfortable and safe! I’m able to host short-term and for long periods of time. I have a flexible work schedule so I can work from home to care for your pet! I have a fenced rooftop park and a big public park behind my home. My building is very dog friendly, there are lots of treats and friendly dogs!

“Jacquelyn is awesome! She was incredibly on-time with every walk, flexible with shifting if needed, prompt with communication, and most importantly, amazing with my dog. Highly recommend!!”
