“Gabby is a kind, reliable sitter who went above and beyond for my anxious pup. She went out of her way to help make sure my dog was comfortable with her before petsitting. She was in touch the entire time I was away and sent many photos. I would absolutely hire Gabby again.”

“Really appreciate Jared's attention to detail. Our pets have a somewhat complicated feeding schedule! Communication level was great and gave us peace of mind while we were away.”

“Moni was very sweet and did a great job caring for my three pets, including a senior dog. She sent videos regularly and stuck to their schedule. She was also very respectful of our house and was neat and clean. It was a relief knowing my animals were well cared for. I hope to use Moni again and can recommend her.”

“I’ve said it before, and will again - Christina is the best! She stays at the with our elderly dog. Both dog and house are in great shape when we return. Will call on her services again.”
“Shamiso exceeded all of my expectations. I was apprehensive about leaving my 14 week old puppy for any number of house let alone days with someone else. I think Shamiso recognized this and started sending my photos while I was on my way to the airport - she also sent frequent daily photos and updates during the stay. What I did not expect and which was such a great thing to come home to was a house that was actually cleaner than when I left. I cannot say enough good things about Shamiso and look forward to lots more hangs with Koda in the future.”

“Cora was an excellent sitter that got Ozzy and Dee out for many walks. They loved her and she was attentive and an extremely good communicator which put our minds at ease. Definitely will look to book again and highly recommend to all pet owners!”

“My wife and I are extremely satisfied with the care Charlotte provided for our dog Teddy. From the moment we got home, we could tell how happy and well cared for he was. It really gave us peace of mind during our trip. Charlotte was punctual, attentive, and followed all of our instructions. We also really appreciated that she took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand to make sure we were a good fit. That meant a lot to us. During that conversation she learned about our travel destination and since she was familiar with the area, she went above and beyond by sharing helpful tips and a great list of places for us to check out. While we were away she sent us photos here and there, which made us feel even more comfortable knowing Teddy was in good hands. We truly feel like we didn’t just find a pet sitter, we made a new friend. Thank you Charlotte for taking such great care of Teddy. We would absolutely recommend her to family and friends.”

“Karachi took outstanding care of my two pups in my home while we were away. She sent regular updates with adorable pics and videos, which put my mind at ease that all was well. One of my dogs was getting over an ear infection and she dutifully administered his meds and ear wash. Not only did we return home to happy dogs, but Karachi left the house spotlessly clean. We will definitely plan to book again with Karachi and would recommend her completely!”

“I had a last minute trip come up and Mari went out of her way to do a meet and greet the day after I contacted her. She was very attentive when I explained daily tasks and she asked insightful questions that showed she really knows animals and wanted to make sure my cat was happy. She sent me updates every day and always responded to me right away. Thanks so much, Mari!”
“Jocabet is the best dog sitter ever! She is so attentive, caring, and communicative when watching our dog, Teddie. Our dog would rather spend time with Jocabet than us lol. We’d be thrilled if she watched Teddie again. Thank you, Jocabet!”


About: I'm a lifelong dog lover and caretaker who has cared for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors my whole adult life (and much of my childhood). I grew up with dogs, and have helped care for puppies, senior dogs, dogs with baggage, and everything in between. Meeting new dogs is always a highlight when out and about in the city, and I'd love to meet and help care for yours! I work from home as a freelancer and contractor, so my schedule is very flexible! Your pet's care will be my top priority -- walks, potty breaks, whatever they need! I have a spacious apartment in DC with a comfortable couch, a rug to lay on, and pillows/beds available for your pup. There is a grassy area outside our apartment (not fenced), and a large park within easy walking distance nearby.
“Giovanna was great with my very anxious dog (and his anxious owner). My dog can be difficult and doesn't trust people he doesn't know. Giovanna followed all instructions with patience and care. She was communicative, respectful, and responsible. I came home to a clean house and a happy dog, which is all one could ask for!”

“Ixchel stepped in at the last minute to watch our dog, Rue. Rue can be shy and anxious around new people, and Ixchel knew exactly how to approach her. She provided regular updates and we felt relieved knowing Rue was in good hands. Would recommend her services!”

About: Around here, every pet gets the “favorite auntie” treatment! Hi! I’m Nicole — also known as “Titi” by my favorite little humans — and I’ve built my pet care style around the patience, affection and reliability of your favorite auntie with an emphasis on attention to each pet’s unique needs. From cuddle time to structured routines, I believe pets thrive when they feel safe, understood, and loved. 🧡🐾 My experience in a nutshell: * 5-star rated sitter with 40+ reviews and repeat clients, serving over 200 clients in my 7 years * Experienced with dogs, cats, puppies, senior pets, and special-needs pets * Pet First Aid & CPR certified (American Red Cross) * Comfortable administering medications * Former SPCA volunteer * Over 10 years experience offering boarding, house sitting, walks, daycare, and drop-ins Pet care is both my full-time job and my calling, allowing me to commit special time and attention to your pets individual needs. Each day’s schedule will vary. For walks and drop-ins: If your request consists of two, 30 minute services per day and your dog is crated for the remaining 23 hours of the day, for the safety and well-being of the dog, I cannot accommodate the request. Thank you for understanding!
“Katiana was awesome with my 2 pups! She arrived on time and sent many photos and updates throughout the day. My pups absolutely loved all the attention and trips to the dog park! Thank you so much for taking such great care of them!!”
“Savina did a great job with our dog Rosie! Rosie has pretty intense separation anxiety and Savina was super understanding and gave us great, detailed updates and pictures throughout our trip.”

We so enjoyed having Miaki stay with Goose and Roo while we were out of town. Miaki is very communicative and thorough - we appreciated that she came by to meet the dogs beforehand and proactively asked questions to ensure that the dogs would be well taken care of in our absence. Miaki sent daily updates throughout our trip, and we can home to very happy dogs. We look forward to Miaki’s next visit and are sure our dogs will be excited to see her too.
Nakia stayed with our pup (and our house) for two weeks. She is outstanding -- she really attended to our girl and took her on her favorite outings, and sent detailed updates and photos. She made our trip fantastically low-stress and I would absolutely recommend her.

Chinyere took such amazing care of my three pets while I was on vacation. She was so easy to communicate with and was a pro at handling the quirks of my various pets! She also left my home in better condition than I left it, she really goes above and beyond for the animals and home in her care.

Rynn was a wonderful dog walker and sitter for our dog Remy. Remy is very strong and can be dog-reactive and has some special needs as a bulldog. We felt very comfortable with Rynn taking care of him and she was very conscientious about staying in our home with great communication. Would book again!

Our dog, Stevie, was in amazing hands with Aaron and Paweena. They truly rolled out the red carpet for our cattle dog/German shepherd mix. Since Stevie can be nervous around new people, they generously came over for meet-and-greets and walks before our trip. Once we left, for nearly a week and an ocean away, we quickly saw that she was smitten with her new companions. Their daily photos or videos filled our hearts as we watched her thrive with Aaron and Paweena. Aaron has also completed specialized training and brought fun enrichment games to keep Stevie engaged. They clearly understand animal behavior and show deep compassion for the pets entrusted to their care. For walking or house sitting, we highly recommend this experienced, caring dog-whisperer couple. Thank you both!
