“Kailie took great care of our 2 boxers. She communicated multiple times a day with pictures and updates. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our dogs were well cared for.”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life and held many dog-sitting jobs throughout college. I am very intuitive and know the Capital Region well, so I am able to find the best walks and treatment specific to your pups! I enjoy being active and am excited at the opportunity to keep your dog healthy and active as well. I also have a car so getting to and from your home will be done with ease so I can focus my time on caring for your dogs with long walks, playing and feeding. I work remotely, so I have some flexibility with scheduling. I am open to dog-sitting at your house as I have done for up to two week periods of time for families with many dogs throughout DC. I work remotely, so I’m able to be very attuned to your pup and their needs! On demand walks and cuddles during the day are my favorite. I have a fenced back yard, but am open to staying at your home as well. We can work out what is best for your pup.
“Kate was a wonderful dog and house sitter! Our two dogs were better off then when we left as Kate did some training with them. They took lots of walks and seemed very happy and healthy. The house was great as well.”
“Bambi was so easy to work with. The pups and kitten were in such amazing spirits when we returned, and the house was even cleaner than we left it! She was very responsive, and even took a trip to the house before the stay to meet the gang, and get to know the place. Highly recommend.”
“Julia stayed with my two dogs for 2 nights over a weekend and was a wonderful sitter! Leaving my dogs is stressful enough, but especially so since we are new to the area and they are still adjusting to a new state/neighborhood/house, etc. My dogs are anxious around new people (and I can be a bit extra about their care...) but Julia put us all at ease - she listened to my long-winded explanations of the dogs personalities and needs, asked good questions, and sent regular updates with photos while she was here. The house was in great shape when we returned and I could tell the dogs were well cared for. I would definitely recommend Julia as a sitter and would have her stay with my pups again!”
“We are so grateful for Shaylee! She stayed with our dog, Olive, and took such wonderful care of her. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Olive was not only safe and well cared for, but also loved. Shaylee was attentive, reliable, and went above and beyond to make sure Olive was happy and comfortable. We came home to a very content pup, and it was clear she had been in great hands. Shaylee is a true professional, and we are so thankful for her!”
“Kaleigh did an excellent job taking care of my fur babies! She gave me daily updates and kept in contact with me throughout my entire trip. Highly recommend kaleigh to anyone looking for an in-home dog sitter!”
“Liz is an excellent dog sitter. During that time, she kept the house neat and tidy and stayed in communication with us on a regular basis, eliminating the stress of leaving Coco and the house behind. Above all, Liz is trustworthy, and our dog looked like she was having a great time with her every time we got an update. We would be happy to use her again in the future.”
“Matthew did such an amazing job with our boys! We have two senior pups, one being special needs, and he took such great care of them and was so familiar with our one’s needs and medication. He is incredibly friendly, trustworthy, and respectful. We’ve were given updates throughout the day, and they all brought smiles to my husband and I’s faces. We also needed care beginning in the very early morning, and he was still perfectly on time and ready to go. We will absolutely be booking with him again in the future - highly, highly recommend! 😊”
About: I have raised 3 dogs and 1 cat in my family. I have been pet sitting for many years for family friends and many other people. I have watched all types of animals not just dog. I love taking dogs on walks and even run with dogs with higher energy. I have worked for dog daycares and have experienced in taking care of many different types of dogs weather they have medical conditions or behavioral problems is no problem for me at all. I have plenty of time to come play with your pups and take them for walks most day! I am available for pet sitting Friday through Monday. I will make sure to keep your fur babies entertained and safe and make sure they are well fed and shown a lot of love!
“Brittany was wonderful with our two pups when we took a 5 day trip to Florida. She spent 5 nights at our house, walked the dogs, fed them and took such great care of them. We can’t thank her enough.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a little kid! I have experience with pets of all types, ages & personalities. Friends & family have relied on me to walk, feed & housesit for their animals. I work full time time job but I have most mornings free. My schedule rotates so I would not be able to have the same availability every week, but please reach out with dates & times! I would love to make something work. I can come to your house and walk your dog. If you are interested in an overnight board at my house the dog would have to be good with my 15lb poodle mix & two cats. It would be ideal that the dog comes with a crate to stay in, as my dog is crated as well when we are out of the house. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I live near a dog park, and in a nice spot to walk dogs.
“Mark is fantastic! We used him as a sitter for our pups over a holiday weekend and not only did they love him, but we did too. Mark's love for dogs is clear so it made trusting him with our fluffy kids much easier. We definitely plan on using Mark again in the future. Thank you sir!”
“Jess was great! She came and did a meet and greet with us and Riley was excited to meet her. She was on time, friendly, and took great care of our pup (and kitty) while we were out of town for a wedding! She sent daily updates, was super communicative, and did a great job making us feel better our first time leaving our fur babies. We’ll definitely be using her in the future!”
“My dogs absolutely adored Alissa! I think they were almost disappointed when we came home! The were happy and stress free and my house was tidy. I really do not think that you can ask for anything more.”

Ally M.
“Ally is a outstanding dog sitter/walker. We used her on two separate occasions when we were traveling out of town for a week . She came and lived in our house taking care of two dogs while we were away. She did a terrific job. House and dogs were in perfect condition upon our return. I think we can all agree our pets (dogs) are important family members. As such, it is important that they are well taken care of and that means finding the right/trustworthy care giver. Ally is that person. The question that must be answered is: Would I use Ally again to take care of my dogs? Ans. Without hesitation.”
