Pet Sitting Shaw

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I regularly pet sit for friends, family and neighbors. I love all animals and have experience caring for reactive dogs! I work from home and am available to take pets out around lunch time, as well as in the evenings or before work. Your pets routine is my top priority. I know many pets are most comfortable in their own space so I am happy to come to your home. I am based in the NoMa neighborhood of DC.

About: I’ve lived with dogs for 26 years - small and medium sized. I love going on dog walks and to the park. I have a dog run on the roof of my apartment and live in Shaw - very walkable/pet friendly and lots of parks nearby. I work from home 9-6 Monday & Friday, but am flexible during the day to tend to dogs, from taking them out for short periods to going on long walks. I am unavailable Tuesday - Thursday. I live in a very pet-friendly neighborhood with lots of parks, Dog Daze social club, sidewalks/dog walk accessible neighborhood. There’s also a dog run on my roof and my apartment is very pet friendly. My complex sometimes hosts doggy social events too.

“Leyla was so attentive and followed our guidance so well! She sent us tons of pictures. She really helped make the first time leaving our puppy easy.”

About: Hello! My name is Brendan, and I recently moved to the DC area from Kansas City. I have had dogs and cats my entire life, and currently am a proud “Cat Dad” to three cats named Betty, Tigger, and Miss Kitty. I have experience taking care of cats with medical issues, including my own Miss Kitty who has diabetes and I have managed with insulin for several years. I also have experience administering pills and oral medications to cats. This is currently my only full time job, so I can be available for drop ins, dog walking, or whatever other pet care you need on whatever schedule you need!! I know and understand how important animals are so I will treat your furbabies and your home like my own, with care, consideration, and lots of love!

“John was kind and patient with my elderly gentleman cats, and I appreciated his daily reports and pictures. John is also very responsive, which I truly appreciate. I already have him booked for another visit while I'm away!”

“Eric took excellent care of our cats while we were away! He spent quite a bit of time with them and made sure our cat who needed medicine took it again after she had a bad tummy and threw it up the first time. Definitely a sweetheart, would have him look after them again. <3”

“Tobias went above and beyond caring for Kobe. He communicates well, sends great updates, and even checked on him later that night after the forth of July fireworks to make sure he was okay. Highly recommend!”

Shaquille B.

“Mirren was so wonderful and helped me out with a last minute dog sitting need! I will definitely use her as a reliable dog sitter and walker in the future. Thanks again for your help!”

J D.

“Mary was so amazing! She was incredibly communicative, sent daily updates with pictures and videos included, and helped out quite last minute. She is so kind and I know my cat was in good hands. Could not recommend more highly!”

Catherine B.

“RELIABLE! Thomas took care or my two cats during 9 days. He did an exceptional job. When I came back, the house was even cleaned, as he has gone out of his way to clean a bit the mess the kitties always make. One of my kitties likes to go out for walks in the hallway and Thomas made sure to include that in his visits. He also sent me daily report cards very well written , presenting everything he has done during his visit. At no point during my trip did I feel anxious about the wellbeing of my cats. All in all he did a perfect job! And I’m very thankful.”

“Victoria was an amazing sitter!! She sent wonderful pictures and descriptions of her drop-ins, which made me feel so at ease while I was on my trip. I could tell my cat Blackjack really adored her and loved the time he spent with Victoria. Would absolutely recommend her.”

Madison H.

“Maria was fabulous and took such good care of my dog while away. She was reliable and gave updates throughout the weekend. I also scheduled 3 walks in addition to drop-in visits. I highly recommend Maria!”

J D.

“Lia was a great cat sitter. She was very communicative and took really good care of my cat. She even befriended her very quickly which was such a nice surprise because my cat tends to be standoffish with new people.”

Lilla G.

“Maria has been fantastic! From our very first meeting, she was incredibly responsive and professional. During every visit, she provided thorough updates that kept us at ease. Luxe, who usually sticks to the bed, actually spent his time waiting on the couch to greet Maria the moment she walked in. It was so heartening to hear how Luxe followed her around and how much they bonded on the couch together. We are so pleased with the care Maria provided!”

Dune A.

“Abigail took such great care of my two floofs in the afternoons. They loved her! She was available last minute multiple times, took them on great walks and wore them out just enough for a great afternoon nap. I got comfortable enough with her that I didn’t even worry anymore and was able to focus on my work. Very kind and reliable sitter!”

J D.

“Jason is very nice and great with Quinn. He is extremely communicative and easy to work with.”

Ben A.

“Ana has been taking care of my dog since she was 10 weeks old. She has been coming for daily house visits starting right when I got her until now. She is wonderful! She takes such good care of meli, making sure she gets food water attention bathroom etc. as needed for age as she has grown up. Ana is very flexible and worked so well with our schedule, we add and changed visits as meli grew up and both of our lives changed. We are so sad to be leaving and not having our favorite dog sitter! Puppy life would have been impossible without Ana she is the best!”

“Fatu was a great communicator and very responsive. She truly went above and beyond for my sweet kitty and we appreciate her help very much. She even set up a pet camera I ordered last minute, huge shoutout to her!”

“Meredith took care of my two kitties while I was away for work and did an excellent job! She made sure to play and hang with them, and also helped clean up several messes of one kitty in particular. She also made sure to troubleshoot my automatic feeder and made sure to give the boys extra food just in case, would recommend!”

Stephanie S.

“She was great with my cat! So attentive and thoughtful! Went out of her way to make him feel included while I was gone for the holiday. Already rebooked for another visit! Thank you!”
