“Simone was super communicative and easy to work with! This was my first time using Rover and she made it so painless for me! She took pictures and videos of my dog, and when I was running late for pick up she was happy to accommodate me. Will definitely be using her again!!”

“Fiona was great and I’m glad she was able to take Jäger when my request was made a little last minute. Jäger is high energy and was exhausted when we got back home which is amazing. He’s usually a little high energy in his first day somewhere new and i feel he was in great hands! I’ll definitely use Fiona again!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for friends and strangers alike ever since I graduated and moved to DC in 2019! It all started because I had such a deep love for dogs, but was not yet ready to have one of my own. Nowadays, I share an adorable little mutt with my boyfriend, and we split the care for her fairly evenly. Because of this, if you’re interested in boarding your pet, they need to be friendly with other dogs; ours absolutely LOVES them. Otherwise, I am happy to pet sit at your residence. Additionally, I have experience with elderly dog care and will cater to whatever their needs are. I’m a full-time corporate girlie with a flexible, hybrid work schedule. I’m normally in the office 2-3 days/week, but can work from home the entire duration of your pet’s stay, if that is desired. I’m happy to work with you to create the exact level of care and attention you desire for your doggo. Your pet would have free rein of the house while we’re home and would be kept in a separate room/ crate than our dog when we’re away. We do have a yard, although it’s not fenced in, so we let our dog run around on a 50 ft leash in the backyard; we could do the same for your dog!
“Scruffy loved his three days of doggy daycare with Miryam! She took him for lots of walks and he came home very happy. She was a great communicator and we look forward to seeing her and her husband again!”
About: I had multiple dogs that I cared for growing up. I also pet sat for my neighbors during my teenage years. During college I fostered dogs of all ages and breeds. I am currently unemployed and as a result I have unlimited time to spend with your pet. I would be available all hours of the day. I live in a single family detached house with a fenced in yard. There are no other permanent pets in the house. I live with one other roommate who is also an animal lover. I will care for your pet in my house or yours as if they were my own.
“Forrest & Stephanie were amazing! They really welcomed our dog, Beignet, into their family for the day. They updated us with pictures throughout the day & Beignet was a happy pup!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have taken care of friends and families dogs on countless occasions. I have watched messy puppies all the way up to semi-aggressive senior dogs. My schedule is flexible due to remote work! I have lots of free time throughout my days and am more than capable of walking multiple times per day. As a remote worker, I will be with the dog the entire time, for as long as I am scheduled to sit. I love frequent walks as well so I have no issue taking dogs out and making sure they are happily cared for.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 11, so being around pups has always been a natural part of my life. Growing up with dogs taught me not just the basics of feeding, walking, and playtime, but also the patience and attentiveness needed to understand each dog’s unique personality. I know how to handle energetic play sessions, but I’m just as comfortable giving gentle care and companionship to older dogs who need a slower pace. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog as if they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s keeping up with a puppy’s training or providing extra TLC to a senior pup, I adapt to each dog’s needs with genuine care and attention. Pet care easily fits into my weekly routine—I keep a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize walks, playtime, and companionship around your pup’s needs. Living in Arlington with two roommates, I provide a safe and welcoming environment for pets. Our home has a large fenced backyard for playtime, a cozy porch for lounging, and a warm Ballston neighborhood perfect for walks. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on safety, comfort, and trust—treating each pup like family.
About: Coming soon my 3 furry Colombians 🐕🦺❤️🐾... Meanwhile, your faithful friend is in my hands! I am a dog lover with a heart divided between two countries: while I hope I can bring my three furry children from Colombia (a Pitbull full of energy and two loving Cockers), I want to take care of yours as if it were mine. - 🐾 **I know what 'misunderstood' races need**: Pitbulls deserve respect and patience, not stereotypes. The Cockers, attention and delicacy. - 🦴 **I adapt the care to his character**: Not all dogs are the same, and I learned that with mine! - ❤️ **I miss my dogs, but that makes me give more love to yours**." * When I take care of your dog, I don't just follow instructions: ✅ **Real experience** with strong and sensitive breeds. ✅ **Safe rides** for Pitbulls (or soft games for elderly Cockers). ✅ **Updated in signs of canine stress** (the Cockers are masters in that!). ✅ **Flexible and communicative**: I will send you photos and updates, because I know what it's like to be away from your pet." * Is your furry shy, hyperactive or a little study? I understand your language perfectly! For now, my three dogs are far away, but that only means that I will have more space in my heart (and in my agenda) to pampers yours I adapt my routine to give your pet the rhythm it needs: intense walks for the strong like my Pitbull, naps and pampering for the delicate like my Cockers, and always with updates that show you their day as if you were here!" ** My day is moulded to your dog: controlled energy for strong, patience for sensitive, and photos that steal a smile from you." * I offer personalised and 100% safe care in MY HOME, where your pet will receive:** 🏡 **An adapted space**: Separate areas for active dogs (like my Pitbull) and quiet areas for the most sensitive (like my Cockers). 🐕 **Experience with 'difficult' breeds**: I know how to manage strong energy and anxiety with patience and proven techniques. - 📲 **Total transparency**: I send photos, videos and daily reports so you can see how happy your furry is. - ❤️ **Seasonal love**: While I wait for my 3 dogs (who are in Colombia), your pet will be my absolute priority." **Why in my house? ** "I prefer to care in a controlled environment, where everything is prepared for safety and comfort, no surprises!" _.

Miryam was awesome with my dog, Thurgie! I needed someone to watch him for the day, and she made the whole experience super easy and stress-free. My dog came back happy and tired (the best kind of tired), so I know he had a great time. She sent a couple of pics during the day, which was really nice and totally put me at ease. You can tell she genuinely love dogs and knows how to take care of them. I’d definitely book with her again. Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone reliable and great with pets!
Allison responded to a last minute request and was much appreciated. She was taking care of another pup and Saint had a great time with him from the pics i received. Her husband was super nice! More updates would definitely be appreciated would use Allison again!
My pup Ember absolutely loves it here. We are becoming regulars now and when we pull up to the house, Ember jumps out the car and darts directly to the house. She can barely wait for Katelyn to open the door lol. We get lots of updates while she’s there and we know she’s in a safe environment. She is a pretty timid pup sometimes but i think playing with Charlie is definitely making her more confident (and she’ll even force Charlie into snuggling now lol). We are SO happy we found a consistent sitter for our little crazy lady. And one that she clearly enjoys too.
Courtney is truly the BEST! She watched our 5-month-old puppy Leo while I was at work, and I couldn’t have asked for a more loving, reliable sitter. Every day, she gave him so much attention, playtime, and cuddles—he was literally wagging his whole body every time she showed up! 🐶💛 As a puppy, Leo can be a bit of a handful, but Courtney was so patient and sweet with him. She kept him on his routine, sent me the cutest updates, and made my workdays so much less stressful knowing he was in such good hands. I’d come home to a happy, tired, and very loved little pup 🥹 I feel so lucky to have found someone who truly cares. Thank you, Courtney, for treating Leo like your own! I am so grateful for you 🐾✨
Hallie is spectacular- she was available on short notice, and we were even able to set up a meet-n-greet before the scheduled sitting! Our pup Lalou (who is historically an excellent judge of character) took to her immediately! Lalou seemed comfortable during the meet-n-greet, even wanting to show off her skills to Hallie lol. On the day of the sitting? Hallie was communicative and sent us several pictures, each with Lalou looking super happy! She even managed to take Lalou to a nearby park with a stream, which is Lalou’s happiest place to be. I can’t thank Hallie enough and would DEFINITELY book her again if we’re back in town.
