“Sonja has been pivotal in the early development of my puppy. She is supporting me in achieving goals for increased positive socialization with a variety of other dogs and people. I’m so pleased with my puppy’s overall wellbeing and social growth. Thank you so much for being a member of Team Winnie Bear!!!”


“Took such wonderful care of our boy. As this was our first time leaving him alone we were a bit nervous but Leonard and Kathryn made it so easy and anxiety free. Will absolutely be booking again!!”


“Leila came to my rescue w/ my last minute request for doggy daycare today. She responded quickly and made my Zoe feel so welcome at drop off. Zoe did not want to leave when I picked her up, which is a first. Leila is a dog whisperer! Thank you for your kindness and the adorable photos. Immediately had peace of mind knowing Zoe was in great care w/ a loving sitter. My girl Zoe can be a bit high maintenance but Leila never made me feel like an inconvenience. I highly recommend Leila to care for your fur baby.”


“Jisoo was wonderful with my dog (again)! He remembered her immediately from our last visit a couple of months ago and was extremely excited to see her. Jisoo sent me lots of pictures and videos throughout the day to keep me updated, and I could see that my boy was having a great time. I will definitely be booking daycare with Jisoo again in the future!”


“We had a great experience with Shaina! She was flexible with our fluid schedule, accommodating, communicated quickly, and took good care of our girl. Would definitely recommend!”


About: Experienced in caring for dogs, cats, and small pets—feeding, walking, grooming, administering medication, and providing loving attention. Reliable, attentive, and comfortable with pets of all ages and needs. I am a full time accountant that works from home with plenty of time and flexibility to accommodate pups needs. I am available weekdays and weekends. I live in a smoke free, child free apartment complex with my husband. I can only care for one pet at the time and I do not have any other pets.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for friends and strangers alike ever since I graduated and moved to DC in 2019! It all started because I had such a deep love for dogs, but was not yet ready to have one of my own. Nowadays, I share an adorable little mutt with my boyfriend, and we split the care for her fairly evenly. Because of this, if you’re interested in boarding your pet, they need to be friendly with other dogs; ours absolutely LOVES them. Otherwise, I am happy to pet sit at your residence. Additionally, I have experience with elderly dog care and will cater to whatever their needs are. I’m a full-time corporate girlie with a flexible, hybrid work schedule. I’m normally in the office 2-3 days/week, but can work from home the entire duration of your pet’s stay, if that is desired. I’m happy to work with you to create the exact level of care and attention you desire for your doggo. Your pet would have free rein of the house while we’re home and would be kept in a separate room/ crate than our dog when we’re away. We do have a yard, although it’s not fenced in, so we let our dog run around on a 50 ft leash in the backyard; we could do the same for your dog!

“Chang was wonderful in watching Mia, who immediately seemed at ease with her. Chang was able to get her to relax and eat some of her food and also treated Mia to a pup smoothie bowl that she enjoyed. We also appreciated Chang's prompt responses to our messages and all the pictures and updates she shared. We're glad we found Chang on short notice.”


“Amal and Pepper know how to make other peoples’ dogs feel welcomed and cared for. This is the second time I have left my dog with Amal, and it’s been another great experience. Definitely recommend to other owners in the area.”


“Amy saved the day for my chiweenie, Willar and I. Her pup Winston is a such a cute little guy and very mild mannered. Amy took great care of my little senior pup currently on a special diet and needing lots of attention and affection. Amy was also flexible and understanding of my own separation anxiety being away from my furbaby 😄”


“Mia enjoyed her daycare session with Faith & Arlind, particularly since she got to hang out with their dog Vivi. We appreciated the pictures they took as well as the frequent updates and coordination on drop-off and pick-up times.”


“Sabrina is awesome! Our dog can be a little anxious or defensive, but Sabrina made him feel right at home and by the time we arrived to pick him up, they’d become fast friends. Highly recommend doggy daycare with Sabrina.”


“Ashley took great care of our dog and kept us updated with photos and information about her stay. She was responsive and flexible; we are happy to have found her!”


About: I have taken care of many dogs, cats and birds for the past 30 years as a happy animal lover and rescuer. I love nature and animals alike and am happy to speak to your beautiful doggies in Spanish or in English. I am a proud owner of a Snoodle and a Calico cat. I live in a spacious condo in Arlington, VA that is surrounded by beautiful parks and trees where your dog can enjoy plenty of fresh air. I love taking walks and enjoying the outdoors with animals. I previously worked as a hair dresser but now want to focus on my true passion, which is caring for animals. I hope to meet your doggie and to play with him or her soon!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was in grade school and have always been a trustworthy caregiver to all animals. I have also had my own dog for the past 9 years who is my whole world! I am currently available on weekdays from 5pm until 10pm, and at most times during the weekends. I am very flexible with dates and times. I am able to feed, give medications, walk and play with your dog inside or outside of your home. I will always put the safety of your pet first and this is always a priority of mine. Currently, my "real" job is a Nurse Practitioner which allows me to care for your dogs in the evening and on the weekends.

“Tushar and his wife were very responsible, flexible and reliable. They really took a good care of Snape. We were totally dependent on them as it was a new place for us and Snape too. Although it was holidays, but they accepted the request when it was a last minute thing. Most importantly they made sure we enjoy D.C. and comforted Snape every way possible with Winston and their cat. I would highly recommend them to other pet owners. And lastly a big THANK YOU ❤️🐾”


About: My name is Sumedh T. I have been an animal lover since I was a kid, taking care of my friends’ dogs often. I enjoy spending time with dogs- taking them out for walks, playing games, teaching them new tricks and commands, and understanding their different personalities and behaviors. I volunteered at a dog shelter where I fed, cleaned, and cared for various breeds of dogs. I’m very excited that my wife and I are planning to adopt a rescue in the next year, our neighborhood is very walkable and pet friendly. Professionally, I am a software engineer and in my free time I love playing video games, cooking, traveling, dog-walking/sitting, and I’ve recently taken up biking. I work from home, so I have the flexibility to monitor and attend to the needs of the dogs I’ve boarded throughout the day. I am able to take breaks for dog walks in the morning and the evening. While boarding I’m able to constantly able to watch the pet. Outside of the home I am always on the lookout for any type of sign from the pet and am able to react quickly.

“Archana was absolutely wonderful! Sent me videos and pictures of my pup made my day! Lucy was very excited and I could tell she had a very nice time! 10/10 recommend!”


“Catherine was a life saver! We were able to book her the night before for day care services. It usually takes Donna some time to warm up to new people, but she immediately ran inside Catherine’s house and greeted her. When I picked her up, she was happy to see me but ran towards Catherine to celebrate. I will definitely be booking her again!”
