Kerstyn was very nice and patient with my quirky dog, and so was her dog Freya who provided all the entertainment! We will definitely be back

A+ thank you so much! My dog had a great time and Lee was awesome! She sent me a picture of my girl as well as fed and walked her. She was also super accommodating when my plans got delayed and I had to arrive late. Thanks again!!

About: I've had dogs my entire life. For those with younger pups, my fenced in backyard is ideal for your dog to run around and play safely! I have a Rhodesian Ridgeback myself, who is vocal but welcoming to all dogs :) We live right above the Potomac River parks, so for those of you with more energetic dogs, I can certainly accommodate as well! I have dog training experience through Old Towne School for Dogs and am knowledgeable on pet medicine administration too! Whatever it is that best suits your pups play style and energy level, I can certainly care for your pup the way they deserve! Your dog will be well cared for and come home happy and tired. I work from home during the week and have a flexible schedule to accommodate your pet's needs including during the weekends. I'm free for frequent potty breaks, walks in the woods and trips to the dog park as needed. My dog can keep yours company but mostly she'll keep to herself. My dog is older - I'm experienced with young pups as well as aging friends. I am very active and would love to have your baby tag along if that's something you'd like. And, not shortage of cuddles here either. I would love to care for your pet if you're out overnight or are traveling. I work from home and have flexibility during the day for walks, outings and a good game of fetch. Weekends work well for me to care for your pup. I'm available both overnight and during the day. I have a fenced-in back yard (6' fence) and live on a beautiful Arlington Nature Park with plenty of trails to explore. I have a large home that is easily traversable for older dogs and young dogs alike. Bathroom outings can be as frequent as needed with the backyard accessible, and walks through the neighborhood and park will always be leashed. I will provide updates, photos, and videos as frequently as you would like and am happy to support your time away from your furry friend however best suits you!

I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for my dogs! She took excellent care of them and gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and little notes, which really reassured me that my pups were happy, safe, and well cared for. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly caring with animals.

Alexis and Katie were amazing to Louie (my dog). Louie was tired yet very happy when returning home, and I know it was as a result of playing a ton. Alexis was very communicative and shared plenty of great pictures that made me feel very comfortable. We will be booking again in the future, and I truly recommend them if you are looking for a great dog sitter

About: I am a pet lover. I grew up in a home with many pets including dogs and cats and have always had a special connection to animals. I love going on long walks and heading to the dog park when the weather is nice. I am here to help you care for your pet the best way possible. I'll always listen to special instructions and will show your pet the love and attention as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and am able to do "drop-in visits" and "rover now" walks during most week days when many walkers are unavailable. I am in the office two days a week, Tuesdays and a flex day. I can't wait to meet your fur baby! **I cannot accept pets that get into plants as I have a few not pet safe plants at home** I work from home 3 days a week and am home most weekends! I too Iove middle of the day walks and all day hangs! I am in a pet friendly building that is super close to Rock Creek for longer walks. My home is child free, and smoke free. I do have a senior beagle mix I adopted from a family member who could not bring him with for an overseas move who is a full time pet at the home.

Elaine was super attentive to and caring with our 7 month old pup. He came home very happy and relaxedl having had a fun day of play and outdoor time in her yard. She was also very responsive with organizing drop off and pick and even went and bought food for him when I forgot to add some for the day. Amazing! I am very grateful for her caring for him so well for the day.

We had such a great experience! Ahiesha took wonderful care of Whiskey for three days, and it really showed. Whiskey came home happy and relaxed every day, and we loved getting updates and photos—it was clear Whiskey felt comfortable and well cared for. Ahiesha also has two puppies of her own who are absolute cuties and very playful, and Whiskey clearly enjoyed spending time with them. Ahiesha was reliable, attentive, and genuinely loving with him. I highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!!

Kelly was responsive, kind, and walked/fed my dog as requested. Though, I want to bring up a note for other dog owners. The area is very urban with mostly concrete and little grass so my dog wouldn't relieve herself until we found grass after pickup, even though Kelly tried her best by walking my dog multiple times. If your dog is skittish, needs grass to go, or isn't comfortable with busy urban environments, this location may be challenging for them.
