If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! This was my first pet boarding with neighbor Alex. Our meet and greet was wonderful, and I knew then my fur baby, Lexi, would love staying at his home. Alex and Lexi enjoyed one another during my recent trip. Alex even got Lexi to eat during what is normally a hunger strike when staying with new sitters. I’ve already booked my 2024 trips with Alex keeping Lexi. Unfortunately my previous boarding facility just lost a client!

Christian was amazing! Accepted my sitting request with pretty short notice after I found out my roommate wouldn’t be able to watch my dog. She also gladly watched my dog for an extra night than was originally planned when my flight got delayed. She sent me frequent updates and pictures of my dog, and it was obvious he was happy and well taken care of. Would definitely recommend her services and book with her again!

Our dog is a rescue with a history of some behavioral issues, and what drew us to them is that they were very comfortable and confident in taking care of pups with all kinds of temperaments. We appreciated the updates and felt great knowing she was safe and well-cared for.

Lots of pictures and videos and we could tell he was genuinely cared for as if he were Michael’s own dog.

I've booked with Julia a few times now and always have a great experience. She spends lots of time with my dog and sends lots of photos. She has multiple spaces so she can group dogs by energy level and individualize your dogs experience. I love that my dog gets to socialize with another chihuahua, without being overwhelmed by higher energy dogs. And she has a great yard for the dogs to sniff around.

Karrah did an amazing job taking care of my cats! She was so kind and dependable, and I immediately felt at ease leaving them with her. It’s not always easy to trust someone with your pets, but she made the whole process feel effortless. She kept me updated regularly and sent tons of photos, which I loved—it was clear my cats were relaxed, well cared for, and getting lots of attention. That level of communication really meant a lot to me. Karrah is truly a thoughtful and reliable pet sitter, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. I’m so grateful for the care she gave my cats and will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future!

From the photos, I could tell the cats warmed up to her quickly and that she was taking great care of them! It was such a relief to not have to worry while I was away. Aside from feeding them fresh food and keeping them company twice a day, she also voluntarily changed their litter. I highly recommend Brittani’s services and will be hiring her again if possible!

Northwest, Washington, DC, 20011

About: Based in Petworth/Brightwood Park in NW DC, I am a lifelong animal lover and professional pet care provider with 15+ years of experience. I founded my own dog walking business in DC in 2009 and have built a loyal client base on one thing: treating every dog like my own. Experienced with all sizes and temperaments, I maintain my own professional liability insurance for your peace of mind. I share my home with two miniature pinschers of my own, so I understand what it means to leave a dog you love in someone else's hands. I work remotely, which means I am home and attentive throughout the day. Boarding dogs are never left alone for extended periods. They get regular outdoor time in our fully fenced yard, midday walks, and plenty of attention morning, afternoon, and evening. I require a meet-and-greet prior to all first-time bookings. Please reach out at least 5 to 7 days before your requested stay. Returning clients are welcome to book with 48 hours' notice. For holiday weekends, I recommend reaching out 2 to 3 weeks in advance as spots fill quickly. Pickup and drop off are available upon request for an additional fee. Please message me with your location for a quote. I serve clients in Northwest DC and surrounding neighborhoods. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priority. Boarding guests have a dedicated first-floor living space with access to a large deck and a fully fenced yard for secure off-leash time throughout the day. I maintain my own professional liability insurance for added peace of mind. My home is dog-proof and calm. I do not overbook, keeping the number of guests small so every dog gets individualized attention. I provide regular photo and message updates throughout every stay, so you always know your pup is happy and well cared for.

Gregory is so wonderful with Evie! We’ve used him multiple times and, honestly, it brings me so much joy and ease to know they take care of Evie like their own. They play with her, challenge her, cuddle with her, and she looks forward to going every time! She loves their dogs and they’re all like little besties now. Gregory has great communication and provides updates throughout the day to make everything even better. We love sending Evie here!!

I was really impressed with Jason N. and can't recommend him highly enough! My pup is a shy rescue with separation anxiety, but she immediately felt right at home at Jason N.'s and was having so much fun with the wonderful resident dog that she barely noticed when I left. I received regular updates on her day that completely assuaged any concerns I'd normally have, and when I picked her up at the end of the day I found her happy, relaxed, and all played-out. Having someone I really trust to watch Stella is an immense piece of mind, and I'll definitely be calling Jason N. next time I need a sitter.

About: I bring a lifetime of diverse animal experience to every pet I care for. I grew up with a rescue dog—and even a pet duck—which taught me early how to adapt to different personalities and needs. Today I share my home with Halo, my black rescue cat, and Grover, my rescue Yorkie, both of whom remind me daily how important patience and trust are. I also cared for Daisy, my special‑needs yellow lab, and understand the gentle routines senior pets require. And with Teddie, my Coton de Tulear from a prestigious lineage, I’m familiar with breed‑specific care and structured environments. Whether your pet is a rescue, a senior, a purebred, or a quirky little character, I meet them exactly where they are and make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved. As a writer who works from home, I have a naturally flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. My routine is calm, predictable, and easy to adjust around your pet’s needs—whether that means midday walks, morning check‑ins, or evening visits. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide steady, reliable care and keep your pet’s day running smoothly and stress‑free. I provide pet care exclusively through walks and drop‑in visits, which means your pet stays in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. During each visit, I follow your routines closely—feeding, fresh water, medication, enrichment, and any specific instructions you share. I keep a calm, reassuring presence, make sure doors are locked, and always double‑check your pet’s safety before leaving. My goal is to maintain your pet’s normal rhythm while giving them attentive, reliable care and keeping your home secure.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and grew up with family pets, so caring for them has always come naturally. Over the years, I’ve also pet sat for friends, providing dependable care, walks, playtime, and plenty of love while they’re away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether it’s an energetic pup or a laid-back senior, I’ll treat your pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently waiting to start a new role, so I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and love spending time with animals, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m currently available for visits only, not hosting pets in my home. I can provide drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, litter box or potty breaks, and other routine care in your home.

About: I'm a full-time professional with fairly flexible work hours. I have two dogs, a happy, healthy 12 yr old Plott-hound mix, Ollie, and a happy, energetic and loving 2 yr old husky-shepherd mix, Bella., I've watched and cared for dozens of other dogs (friends, family, etc.) over the last 15 years and am generally known as a bit of a 'dog whisperer'. I absolutely love dogs and look forward to taking exceptional care of your pet when you need to leave them in somebody else's care. Ollie, Bella, and I walk for ~4 miles every day around the neighborhood, go to dog friendly parks/fields in my neighborhood, and walks in the woods where they can run off leash. As highlighted in the pictures, Ollie and Bella readily get along with a wide variety of dogs as a walking buddy, a sleeping buddy, or a running-around-a-field buddy. If you leave your dog with us, your dog will have new canine friends, get lots of fun neighborhood walks, and have friends to cuddle up with on the couch / in their dog bed after a long-day of walking, eating, and sleeping :). I typically do two long walks each day (one between ~7-9 AM, the other sometime between 5-7 PM). Will also do a short mid-day walk and/or a short pre-bedtime walk as needed! While Ollie and Bella were crate trained as puppies, at this point they roams freely throughout the house. That said, I'm happy to host crate-trained dogs, and more than comfortable allowing your (trained!) dog to roam free throughout my home much like my pups.

About: I have raised three dogs through puppyhood, adulthood, and seniorhood (a pointer/border collie mix, Weimaraner/greyhound mix, and a Westie). I have been trained in puppy obedience and clicker training and pride myself on being able to work with any dog-- from anxious, temperamental pups, to rowdy balls of energy, to silly couch potatoes-- I am here to keep your fur baby happy, healthy, and safe in your absence. In addition to my own dogs, I have had the privilege of caring for countless other friends' and neighbors' dogs and cats, and since moving to DC from California have been volunteering at the Humane Rescue Alliance shelter as a sensitivity-minded dog walker and enrichment provider as well as a cat care provider. I love all animals and am happy to help! I am currently a full time graduate student with a very flexible schedule and available to accommodate pet check ins, walks, and additional responsibilities within my class schedule. Depending on the dog's behavior, medical history, and location I work to minimize risks to the pet's safety and remain alert and attentive to the dog's body language as well as our surroundings, regardless of whether we are outside or inside.

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with three family dogs and was the primary caretaker and trainer for my most recent dog, Aiko. Through daily walks, feeding, grooming, training, and playtime, I gained valuable experience understanding the unique needs of different dogs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have pet sat and walked dogs for neighbors, friends, and family members, including both small and large breeds. I am comfortable handling multiple dogs at once and enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just having someone keep them company, I will provide attentive, reliable, and loving care. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. As a college student, I am currently home for the summer and not taking classes, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I am available most days and times for dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand how important consistency and reliability are when caring for pets, and I am committed to providing attentive, dependable care while keeping owners updated and informed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and exercise needs. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I take the time to build trust while ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring and responsible hands.

About: Hi, I’m Andrea! I’ve always loved being around dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, so I make communication a priority by sending regular updates and photos throughout each stay. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I always try to match each dog’s routine and comfort level. Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles, or just a calm environment to relax in, I make sure they receive patience, attention, and affection during their stay. My goal is to create a clean, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels at home. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions you provide so your dog receives personalized care every time. I know every pet is different, and I truly enjoy building trust with both pets and owners. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! During my care I schedule specific times for feeding, walking, and play sessions, ensuring that every pet in my care receives consistent attention and affection. Caring for pets in my home involves creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment that caters to their individual needs. I start by designating specific areas for feeding, sleeping, and play to maintain a structured routine. I ensure these spaces are clean, free of hazards, and stocked with toys, bedding, and other essentials.

We are very grateful to Joseph for taking exceptional care of our dog during a week-long trip. Our dog is senior and reactive, but Joseph seems to have taken great care of his specific needs and made him feel right at home. We will definitely book Joseph again!

Jenna was great, very sweet and attentive to Zuri and her needs. She provided lots of photos to keep me updated on how she was doing. I would book with Jenna again!

Charnetta was our life saver. Winter storm Fern left us stranded and without a way back for 4 extra days. She was so flexible and communicative helping to assuage our anxiety about not getting back to our dog Effie. We received pictures and videos throughout our trip. Charnetta was on top of Effie’s medicine regime. Confident our Effie was loved!

Erica was fantastic! My dog took a few days to adjust, and she was very patient and flexible with him. He came home happy and exhausted. She sent many updates and was flexible and kind with pick-up and drop-off times.
