“Stephanie and Luis are the absolute best! They provided fantastic care for Toto. The communication was outstanding and frequent. The reassuring updates made my time away completely stress-free. Toto came home incredibly happy and well-cared for. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Incredible! From the first moment, I knew my pup was safe and loved on. Abigail consistently communicated how he was doing and sent pictures that made my day every day! I highly recommend her services. I have booked with Rover before, but this was by far the best experience.”
“Lia was great! Our older and anxious cat was very comfortable with her. We got frequent updates and photos and felt very reassured that our cat was in good hands. Our cat needs daily medication, which Lia also took care of without issues. Highly recommended!”
“Our 13 yo pitbull loved her stay with Christian! She is very communicative, sent us photos, and made sure she got all her meds. Would leave our pup with her again.”
About: I am a true Capitol Hill dog lover and I have always had a strong passion for animals, mostly for dogs. I have been caring for dogs since I was child, taking care of my mother’s beloved shitzu. Taking care of her helped me acquire basic canine behavior and taught me the responsibility of taking care of a pet. Most recently I raised my own best friend, Gelato an English Bulldog. I gained my breeder experience with Gelato and cared for her and her 6 puppies, until they were rehomed at 8 months. I enjoy taking long walks, which I consider the ultimate stress reliever and best way to exercise. I have no problem getting my hands dirty. I have 20 years of experience in the customer service field and enjoy striving to provide the best experience to my clients. In my personal time I am spending time with my 2 little girls teaching them how to play sports, and of course how to be loving pet owners. Thank you for taking the time to visit my page! I’m currently working part time and will be available to walk most pets during early mornings hours during the week and mid day and evenings during the weekend. I definitely would like to know your pets temperament, and what might scare them. I know they will feel most comfortable at home but if they are with me, I’d like to keep a calm, pet friendly setting for them to be comfortable in.
“This was my first time boarding and being away from my pup for an extended period, so I was a bit nervous at first. Nicole helped put my mind at ease, and I came back to a happy, well cared for pup. Very grateful!”
“I genuinely cannot recommend McKinley enough! She is the sweetest, kindest, and most thoughtful sitter I could have ever asked for. From the moment I dropped Hamilton off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such amazing hands. She sent me daily photos and checked in throughout the day with updates on everything he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’ve honestly never seen Hamilton happier. He looked so comfortable, loved, and genuinely excited to be there, I think he was actually a little sad to leave, lol. It was so obvious that McKinley treated him like he was her own, and that meant the world to me. If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your pet, keep you updated, and go above and beyond, McKinley is the person to book. I would trust her with Hamilton again in a heartbeat and will absolutely be using her in the future. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone looking for the best possible care for their pet!”
About: I’ve had 7 dogs over the last 24 years, two lived to be 18 and 19 yrs old. I was known for many years as the Brookland Dog Lady. This is the only time in my adult life that I have only one dog. I currently have one 2-year-old Cockapoo named Peaches. Peaches loves most dogs and people and is generally confident and submissive. She’s very good with large, young, and old dogs alike. My house is fairly quiet. Over my 24 years of experience with my own dogs and watching friends dogs, I have dealt with just about every health problem and ailment. I am experienced with puppies, seniors, providing insulin, doggie diapers, prescriptions and just about anything else you can think of. I love walking dogs through my neighborhood. I have a fully fenced backyard as well. I work primarily from home so I can provide a lot of attention and supervision. They are like children to me. I work from home so I’m never gone for more than a few hours. My daily schedule starts with breakfast for me and my dog, Peaches. I then take her out immediately to the backyard for a potty break. I then get ready for my day and work from home. I walk my dog in the afternoon every day with additional yard breaks throughout the day. We often stop to play with other dog friends along the way. I can do a second walk each day if needed. I feed her again around 6pm. I let her out again in the yard before bed. They would sleep in my bedroom at night - either on the floor in a dog bed or in bed with Peaches and me. I do have a doggy door that she can use as needed, but I do go out with her whenever she goes outside. I have a 7 ft wooden fence around my yard. I also have a gate across my front porch so that if any dog were to get out of the front door, they would not be able to get off the porch. Dogs are always leashed when outside of my yard. I have watched and cared for many dogs for my friends, family and neighbors over the years. I have also been "dogmother" (designated in the will to care for a dog if anything had happened to their human) by several friends and family.
“Malvi, Andrej, and Max are like Ozzy’s second home. I feel so comfortable leaving Ozzy there when I travel for work, because I know how comfortable Ozzy is with them! They honestly treat him like their own and it makes me feel so much better being away. They are so communicative with their schedules and send lots of cute updates. I also completely trust their judgment with other dogs they sit, so I know Ozzy is always safe and has plenty of new friends to play with every time.”
“Jasmine and Stormi were great with Roxy. Roxy was transitioning between dog foods during her stay and Jasmine handled it like a pro. I would highly recommend Jasmine for your next trip.”
“Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!”
“Payton and her husband were awesome! Our dogs had such an incredible time with them, they almost didn’t want to leave. They provided updates regularly and lots of mental stimulation and walks for our pups. Can’t wait to use them again!”
“Beth took excellent care of our ~14 year old diabetic dog while we went away for a long weekend and was able to give her twice daily insulin shots. Even better, she lives 2 blocks from us, making the whole thing super easy and convenient. I'm sure Piggy appreciated being at home in her own neighborhood. 14/10, would do again! Thank you Beth!”
“Amazing! My dog and I are joined at the hip and I don’t love leaving her just anywhere! Rouday was so kind and my dog took good care of him right away. His flexibility and graciousness with me almost stood out more than his professionalism and care with my dog. Highly recommend!!!”
“Rodrigo did a great job taking care of my sweet Frenchie, Bella. He sent me daily pictures and made sure to listen carefully to my care instructions. His own dog, Luna, was a great playmate to Bella and she came home happy and exhausted. I'd definitely use Rodrigo again!”
“Haydenn was super responsive and wonderful with our 10 year old dog, Fern. We had to make a change in our plans at the last minute, and he was very accommodating. We would definitely use him again in the future!”
“Caleb was great with my cat! He was very flexible with pickup and drop off (which was extra helpful for tricky travel days) and was super nice. Would definitely recommend him to anyone to watch their pet!”
“Holly is fantastic! She welcomed our pup into her house on very short notice, and was totally accommodating. She went above and beyond - in addition to regular walks she took our dog on hikes and spent many hours with her outside. She also gave our dog special attention - cuddling with her and making her feel welcome and loved. In addition, her own dogs were instant buddies and play mates for our pup. She even sent texts and photos so we could see! It was wonderful to know our pup was in such amazing hands and having such a great summer vacation while we were out of town. Our dog came home totally happy and exhausted! I HIGHLY recommend Holly if you want to give your dog a true vacation full of fun and love!”

“Megan was amazing with my cat! She was consistent, reliable, and communicative with every single step. I came home to a happy and well looked after cat. I am so appreciative for Megan for taking care of my cat while I was away.”
“We needed a last minute sitter for three drop-in visits. Melanie was very responsive and made setting up a quick meet and greet easy. She followed all of our instructions and took great care of Parker. He can be pretty crazy meeting someone new and she did a wonderful job of calming him down and making it a great visit.”
“Delina was delightful! When I got home, the cats were like “ho-hum you’re back, we’ve been plenty entertained by Miss Delina!” It’s as if I never left! Thanks, Delina!”

“I highly recommend Brendan. He took care of our cat while we erected away. He was on time for every visit. Provided daily updates and was very courteous during our initial meet and greet. I would definitely use Brendan again.”
“Nicholas was great with my cat. He made sure my cat was comfortable with the dog and had a backup plan in case they didn’t quite get along. She was happy and healthy when I picked her up”
“Gabby did a wonderful job taking care of my cat while I was away for my wedding! She sent thorough updates and was extremely patient with Lucy, since she is such a shy cat who needed a minute to warm up. I could not recommend her more. She was prompt, communicative, and over the top in her efforts to really play with Lucy and get some energy out during her visits.”
“Lisa did such a wonderful job with our cats. We enjoyed having her over for a meet and greet, and she was very professional and asked great questions. During her visits she was very meticulous and responded so well to each of our cat’s quirky personalities. They were the calmest we have seen them after returning from a trip. We will definitely book again with Lisa in the future - and highly recommend others to do so! Thank you, Lisa”
“Liz is amazing!! You need to book with her if you’re looking for a cat sitter. She’s wonderful with all three of my guys. My oldest is an attention hog and she gives him the attention he craves. My youngest who has some medical needs is so well taken care of I know I don’t have to worry about him. And my middle man who is super shy and normally doesn’t come out from under the bed, has made multiple appearances (and even got some lovin’) this last visit with Liz. I’ll definitely keep booking with Liz when I’m out of town and will have the peace of mind knowing my boys are well looked after!!”
“Andrea took wonderful care of my cat! She did such an amazing job and kept me updated along the way that I was able to truly enjoy my vacation. She has now taken care of both my cat and dog, and I highly recommend her!”
“Catherine always goes above and beyond for us and our kitties! She’s our favorite caretaker we’ve had so far. She’s very flexible, responsive, and caring! Can’t recommend enough!”

About: I've had dogs since I was a kid and enjoy training dogs and puppies as a hobby. You'll be pleasantly surprised to find your dog understands a new command after staying with me for a few days!

I am reliable, consistent, and follow owner's care instruction to the letter. I also take on a limited amount of clients to ensure that your pet gets quality care.

About: I’ve owned and cared for animals for most of my adult life. I’m the Go-to person whenever anyone I know needs a pet sitter/walker. I’ve personally owned and cared for senior pets with special needs and have a great reputation as a reliable and responsible person.

Most of my friends say that their pets ignore them when I’m around because of all the love and affection I show them. I live in a large apartment and I have many places close by where I can walk your dog and make sure they are safe and sound while getting their daily exercise. Cats have lots of space to chill out or cuddle up with me whenever they want to.

“Joey did a fantastic job to take great care of my 7-year-old labrador who had a bit of separation anxiety. I am so grateful with Joey to accept the last minute request after a brief meet up. I would love to use his services again and highly recommend him. Thanks again Joey for your flexibility and patience with Meimei!”

“Sonja was amazing! She came out on short notice to meet our pups, and she did an amazing job with them. She sent us photo updates and checked in every so often. The pups looked so happy; we could tell they were having a blast and that they loved her. As owners of two large breed dogs, it's difficult to find someone who is at ease around them, not afraid, and not overwhelmed by them, and Sonja was all that we could have hoped for in those regards. We definitely plan on using her services again! ”

I will care and protect your animals as if they were my own, keeping them safe and cared for at all times
“Lilla was fantastic!! Often going above and beyond to make sure our puppy had an amazing experience with her. She was very communicative and took plenty of pictures and/or video to let us know our puppy was doing well. Highly recommend and will definitely book her again whenever we need someone to walk Molly!”

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!

“Booked Tobias to walk my dog. He was on time and send photo updates from the time they spend together. Jhana had a great time. Will book again if needed and can recommend him as a dog walker!”
About: I won't leave your friend guessing while you're away! I grew up with dogs and cats and now share my home with two wonderful kitties. I have lots of experience pet sitting for friends and family, and like them your pet will get more than just walks and food - they get a trusted friend and expert in all things zoomies and scratches. From energetic pups to curious cats, I work to ensure your family is happy, healthy, and showered with belly rubs or head scratches. And my resident felines approve! I'm a hybrid worker in DC and can make many days work to take care of your pet. However I sometimes can’t do visits in the middle of the day on weekdays because of my work and travel schedule. I also cannot commit to weekly care I work half the week from home and the other half in downtown DC, and can visit your pet almost any day of the week to give them all that they need. I have a cat of my own who I am obsessed with, and have lived with dogs my whole life. Your pets will get all the love and attention (and food) that they need, and I will love to come spend time with them to make them feel like the center of the world.
About: Hi, I’m Erika! I share my DC home with two very different dogs: Eljay, a high-energy mini Bernedoodle who needs a real workout, and Bisou, a tiny terrier mix who runs entirely on her own agenda. Caring for both of them has made me a genuinely better walker. I know what an overstimulated dog looks like. I know when a dog needs to slow down, not speed up, and when they need a little extra engagement and attention. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk, a mid-day potty break, playtime, medication, feeding, puppy care, senior dog care, or just some company during a long day, I’ll follow your routines and give them my full attention every single visit. What actually sets me apart is my availability. I’m a music teacher with afternoon and evening hours, so my mornings and middays are open. That’s exactly when most dogs need care. When I show up, I’m present. Your dog won’t be treated like just another stop on a long route. I work with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, including puppies, seniors, rescue dogs, and high-energy breeds that need more than a quick loop around the block. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and maintaining the routines that help dogs feel secure and happy. Every visit includes photos and a detailed update, so you’ll always know how your dog is doing. If anything seems off, I’ll communicate right away. I proudly serve Brookland, Woodridge, Michigan Park, Edgewood, Brentwood, Capitol Hill, and nearby Northeast DC neighborhoods. I always start with a free meet-and-greet so we can make sure it’s the right fit before booking. I’d love to meet you and your dog! I work as a music teacher with afternoon and evening commitments, which makes me genuinely available mid-morning and midday most days. Weekends work well too. For recurring bookings I aim for consistent timing so your pet settles into a reliable routine, and I always send a photo update so you know the visit went well. I've been around animals my whole life and I take the responsibility of caring for someone else's pet seriously. I follow your instructions, respect your home, and pay attention to how your pet is feeling, whether something seems different, whether they need a little more time or a little more space that day. I'll always let you know how the visit went and reach out right away if anything gives me pause. Leaving a pet in someone's care requires real trust, and I don't take that lightly.
“Marcus is very patient and gentle with my dog. He is punctual, consistent, and communicates well. He makes sure Akira gets the outside enrichment she needs and I come home to a well exercised, happy dog after work. Thank you!”

“Our 13 yo pitbull loved her stay with Christian! She is very communicative, sent us photos, and made sure she got all her meds. Would leave our pup with her again.”
About: I am a true Capitol Hill dog lover and I have always had a strong passion for animals, mostly for dogs. I have been caring for dogs since I was child, taking care of my mother’s beloved shitzu. Taking care of her helped me acquire basic canine behavior and taught me the responsibility of taking care of a pet. Most recently I raised my own best friend, Gelato an English Bulldog. I gained my breeder experience with Gelato and cared for her and her 6 puppies, until they were rehomed at 8 months. I enjoy taking long walks, which I consider the ultimate stress reliever and best way to exercise. I have no problem getting my hands dirty. I have 20 years of experience in the customer service field and enjoy striving to provide the best experience to my clients. In my personal time I am spending time with my 2 little girls teaching them how to play sports, and of course how to be loving pet owners. Thank you for taking the time to visit my page! I’m currently working part time and will be available to walk most pets during early mornings hours during the week and mid day and evenings during the weekend. I definitely would like to know your pets temperament, and what might scare them. I know they will feel most comfortable at home but if they are with me, I’d like to keep a calm, pet friendly setting for them to be comfortable in.
“I genuinely cannot recommend McKinley enough! She is the sweetest, kindest, and most thoughtful sitter I could have ever asked for. From the moment I dropped Hamilton off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such amazing hands. She sent me daily photos and checked in throughout the day with updates on everything he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’ve honestly never seen Hamilton happier. He looked so comfortable, loved, and genuinely excited to be there, I think he was actually a little sad to leave, lol. It was so obvious that McKinley treated him like he was her own, and that meant the world to me. If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your pet, keep you updated, and go above and beyond, McKinley is the person to book. I would trust her with Hamilton again in a heartbeat and will absolutely be using her in the future. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone looking for the best possible care for their pet!”
About: I’ve had 7 dogs over the last 24 years, two lived to be 18 and 19 yrs old. I was known for many years as the Brookland Dog Lady. This is the only time in my adult life that I have only one dog. I currently have one 2-year-old Cockapoo named Peaches. Peaches loves most dogs and people and is generally confident and submissive. She’s very good with large, young, and old dogs alike. My house is fairly quiet. Over my 24 years of experience with my own dogs and watching friends dogs, I have dealt with just about every health problem and ailment. I am experienced with puppies, seniors, providing insulin, doggie diapers, prescriptions and just about anything else you can think of. I love walking dogs through my neighborhood. I have a fully fenced backyard as well. I work primarily from home so I can provide a lot of attention and supervision. They are like children to me. I work from home so I’m never gone for more than a few hours. My daily schedule starts with breakfast for me and my dog, Peaches. I then take her out immediately to the backyard for a potty break. I then get ready for my day and work from home. I walk my dog in the afternoon every day with additional yard breaks throughout the day. We often stop to play with other dog friends along the way. I can do a second walk each day if needed. I feed her again around 6pm. I let her out again in the yard before bed. They would sleep in my bedroom at night - either on the floor in a dog bed or in bed with Peaches and me. I do have a doggy door that she can use as needed, but I do go out with her whenever she goes outside. I have a 7 ft wooden fence around my yard. I also have a gate across my front porch so that if any dog were to get out of the front door, they would not be able to get off the porch. Dogs are always leashed when outside of my yard. I have watched and cared for many dogs for my friends, family and neighbors over the years. I have also been "dogmother" (designated in the will to care for a dog if anything had happened to their human) by several friends and family.
“Malvi, Andrej, and Max are like Ozzy’s second home. I feel so comfortable leaving Ozzy there when I travel for work, because I know how comfortable Ozzy is with them! They honestly treat him like their own and it makes me feel so much better being away. They are so communicative with their schedules and send lots of cute updates. I also completely trust their judgment with other dogs they sit, so I know Ozzy is always safe and has plenty of new friends to play with every time.”
“Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!”
“Payton and her husband were awesome! Our dogs had such an incredible time with them, they almost didn’t want to leave. They provided updates regularly and lots of mental stimulation and walks for our pups. Can’t wait to use them again!”
“Amazing! My dog and I are joined at the hip and I don’t love leaving her just anywhere! Rouday was so kind and my dog took good care of him right away. His flexibility and graciousness with me almost stood out more than his professionalism and care with my dog. Highly recommend!!!”
“Rodrigo did a great job taking care of my sweet Frenchie, Bella. He sent me daily pictures and made sure to listen carefully to my care instructions. His own dog, Luna, was a great playmate to Bella and she came home happy and exhausted. I'd definitely use Rodrigo again!”
“Haydenn was super responsive and wonderful with our 10 year old dog, Fern. We had to make a change in our plans at the last minute, and he was very accommodating. We would definitely use him again in the future!”
“Caleb was great with my cat! He was very flexible with pickup and drop off (which was extra helpful for tricky travel days) and was super nice. Would definitely recommend him to anyone to watch their pet!”
“Holly is fantastic! She welcomed our pup into her house on very short notice, and was totally accommodating. She went above and beyond - in addition to regular walks she took our dog on hikes and spent many hours with her outside. She also gave our dog special attention - cuddling with her and making her feel welcome and loved. In addition, her own dogs were instant buddies and play mates for our pup. She even sent texts and photos so we could see! It was wonderful to know our pup was in such amazing hands and having such a great summer vacation while we were out of town. Our dog came home totally happy and exhausted! I HIGHLY recommend Holly if you want to give your dog a true vacation full of fun and love!”
“Katie was very accommodating. Since this was my first time using the service, I did not know what to expect. She kept in touch throughout my fur babies stay and sent pictures. She asked questions and gave me an opportunity to ask questions as well.”
“Melanie was incredible! It was my first experience with Rover, and she put me at ease right away. Her confidence, delightful demeanor, and genuine affection for my dog was amazing. I will absolutely recommend her services again!”
“Anne Marie took such great care of Danny, she was patient and kind to him as a senior dog and just loved on him! I will definitely be asking Anne Marie to care for him again when I need it.”
“I had a great experience with Fabian and would highly recommend him. He took excellent care of my dog while I was away and made the entire process stress-free. He provided regular updates, including messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was happy and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again.”
“Caitlin took care of my small dog at her house when I took an overnight trip away. she sent so many pictures and videos of my dog. having fun, cuddling with her in bed, playing and taking lots of walks! My dog was of course happy to see me when I got home, but I think she misses Caitlin already! I would very strongly recommend. Caitlin as a dog sitter who will love and care for your dog as if they are her own!”
“Boarding my puppy with Amani went great! This was my dog Blob's first time boarding, so I really appreciated all of the photos and videos that Amani sent every day of naptime, playtime, and bathtime. Our pick-up and drop-off also went very smoothly and she kept me updated with how Blob was doing health-wise and potty training-wise. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend Amani.”
“Callen was absolutely amazing! I can't begin to thank her enough for taking care of my dog while I was out of town. I was nervous about leaving him to travel, but she sent lots of updates and always communicated in a timely manner. If you want to be at ease, I highly recommend Callen!”
