“This was our first time using Rover and leaving our two kittens. They couldn’t have been in better hands with Callen. She visited our kittens three times- feeding, playing, and giving them love.

Will definitely use again!”

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 currently work from home most days, so I've taken to this as a way to brighten up my day and help folks in the neighborhood with their pet needs. 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 taken care of all kinds of dogs for as long as I can remember. I have a 40 pound mix who thrives with other friendly dogs around. Your dog will get 2-3 walks a day and lots of attention.

My dog Molly loves other dogs and my neighborhood is super dog friendly.

When dropping Boomer off, we immediately felt comfortable with Sonja. We knew that we could leave him w her, enjoy the activity we had planned, and know he was in good hands. 10/10 recommend her and would 100% use her services again when in town.”

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.
“Lara was amazing! This was my first time booking a dog sitter in DC, so I was initially nervous. Lara immediately put my mind at ease with pics/updates shortly after I dropped off and sent them regularly throughout the remainder of my time away. My pups were happy, healthy, and tired from all the fun they had when I picked them up. I’d definitely rebook with Lara and would recommend her services to anyone else.”
“Rodrigo is the best. He is considerate, accommodating, and sends great pictures and updates. My dog Curtis loves visiting for doggy daycare and extended stays.”
“Elizabeth was wonderful! Super communicative, sent lots of pictures, and was proactive about making sure our dog was as comfortable as possible during her stay. It was clear that she is knowledgable and experienced in caring for all kinds of dogs.”
“Faustine was an amazing dog sitter and was super sweet, flexible with great communication skills. We super appreciate Faustine and we would 100% use her again!!!”
“Fabian always does a great job watching my pup! He’s a great communicator, and always goes above and is very flexible with drop offs and pick-ups. He also sends regular picture updates. His dog is a great play friend as well!”
“Donna provided very special care to Cocoa. She is a senior pup, and we are forever grateful that Donna provided updates as soon as anything of note happened. She was super responsive to all messages, and Cocoa was comfortable for the entire stay. We may not have Cocoa for much longer, and we are grateful that Donna was extra attentive to her needs and provided the best care possible. Many, many thanks.”
“David and Armando took such good care of Louis! They were very communicative and sent lots of photos. I know Louis had a blast hanging with them and their two sweet dogs!”
