About: I've been a dog owner for 12 years, and a dog and pet lover my whole life! I have had to send my two dogs to heaven in the last two years, and I miss having dogs in my life, but I'm not quite ready to adopt again. But I'd love to help owners with their pets, and shower them with affection and walks and dog park visits while they are in my care. Dogs are allowed on the bed and furniture in my home, of course! I telework 3 days per week, and when I am not teleworking I work short days, and am home most evenings as well. I am also available to sit in your home as well! While I don't have a yard, I live in Del Ray with many parks, trails, and dog friends to spend time with. I'm very active and love to hike and walk.

This was our first time leaving our pup with a sitter, and Christine made it easy. She genuinely loves dogs and made our dog feel right at home. We know our dog got lots of attention and play time. Christine sent us pictures and videos, which we appreciated. Overall a great experience and we would happily use Christine again.

Francise was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Ollie! She took him on lovely walks around town, helped him meet new people, and made sure he got plenty of exercise and attention. It was clear she genuinely cared about his happiness and well-being. I came home to a very content pup! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

Catherine & Nikhit took excellent care of Buckley, and I felt completely at ease during my two-week vacation. I received tons of photo and video updates, and it was clear that Buckley was having the best time ever. He looked happy, comfortable, and totally spoiled with attention. I loved every update and could tell he was being treated like part of the family. I would absolutely book with Catherine & Nikhit again in the future!

Megan is an absolute dream of a dog caretaker. She is an honest & trustworthy person, is good with dogs and you can tell she genuinely adores them. She was helpful to give Bubba (our dog) his ear medication while we were away and each day updated us with their activities. I had no concerns during his stay— in fact— I think he had the time of his life 😁

Pat was an amazing sitter! She’s very communicative and thorough with her care; I felt that she genuinely inquired to know the little habits, routine, and quirks about my pup so that she can provide the best care. Her pup Mojo is also an angel. Pat, Mojo, and my pup got along so well from the moment we met and I’m so thankful to have found her.
