“I can’t thank Diego enough for the incredible care he provided for my dog, Zulu, especially after his recent surgery. Diego went above and beyond—making sure Zulu took all his medications on time, preventing him from licking his wound, and giving him the special attention he needed during the healing process. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Zulu was in such capable and compassionate hands. Diego is truly my go-to for both boarding and daycare whenever he’s available. His level of attentiveness, reliability, and genuine care makes all the difference. See you in August!”

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.

They are communicative and provide lots of updates and pictures during the stay. Our high-energy puppy Echo had loads of fun during her overnight stay playing with the other dogs and came home happy and tired. Would highly recommend boarding with them - thank you Malvi and Andrej!”

He was kind enough to set up a meet-and-greet a few days before our booking, which immediately gave us so much peace of mind and helped Bruno feel comfortable with him. During the stay, Dylan kept us completely updated every single morning with a detailed report of Bruno's behavior and daily routine. The photos he sent showed Bruno looking so relaxed and happy. Dylan is incredibly flexible, a great communicator, and always quick to respond to messages. I couldn't be happier knowing Bruno was in such wonderful company. I recommend Dylan 100%!”

About: Hi, I’m José! I recently graduated from Rutgers University and moved to the DMV area to pursue a career in public service. I grew up surrounded by animals, so caring for pets has always been a natural and important part of my life. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to keep your pet safe and loved while you’re away. I know every cat has their own personality and needs, and I’ll take the time to make sure they feel comfortable with me. I’d be happy to be your cat’s new best friend while you’re away!

About: I am great with dogs. Choose me if you want your dog to be treated like family and to get lots of exercise while you are away. I have a backyard that is fenced in, parks all around my home and we will go on lots of walks. We go on long walk in the morning and evening so your pet will get plenty of exercise and engagement with me. I currently work full time during the day with teleworking. I am free on the weekends and like to spend my time outside whenever possible. I have a fenced in backyard. I prefer to have a crate available to secure your pet if I need to run an errand - I am flexible with this request. I understand crating isn’t an option for everyone.

About: I've cared for animals my entire life, from small pets to large farm animals, and even helped on my aunt's farm growing up. My love and compassion for animals is what sets me apart. My dream is to become a veterinarian and one day open my own veterinary practice, so you can trust that your pet will be treated with the same care and attention I'd give my own. Im currently working part time at home and looking for anyway to workout during the week so I have a lot of time space and energy to run around and love your dog while being gone. My pit bull puppy does not live with me or stay at the residence but my 6 month old cat has a crate available if needed, but she usually has free roam of the house since there are no other pets in the home. She's very friendly and loves small children and other animals. I give her plenty of love and attention every day, and I truly treat her like my own baby!

About: I've been a dog person my whole life. Our family has shared our home with everything from standard poodles to an American Eskimo, so I've handled big personalities, high-maintenance coats, smart dogs who need a job, and gentle seniors who need patience and a soft place to land. We recently lost our beloved standard poodle, and while we're not ready for another dog of our own yet, we have a lot of love with nowhere to go. We'd be thrilled to pour it into yours. Your dog will be our only pet, which means undivided attention: no competing for the couch, the yard, or the treats. Speaking of the yard, it's fully enclosed, so there's plenty of room to sniff, play, and stretch out safely, and we're an easy walk from a nearby park for longer outings. Our home also includes a dog-adoring 7-year-old who has grown up around dogs and knows how to be calm and respectful with them, and all interactions are supervised. By day I run a national nonprofit (from our home), so I'm organized, responsive, and used to being trusted with things that matter to other people. You'll get prompt replies, photo updates, and a sitter who actually follows your instructions, whether that's a medication schedule, a specific feeding routine, or a nightly belly rub quota. I work from home, so your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. My day has a natural rhythm that suits most dogs: a morning walk or yard time before I start work, a midday break for a potty trip and some play, and a longer walk to the park in the late afternoon once the workday winds down. In between, your dog is welcome to nap at my feet, keep an eye on the squirrels from the window, or supervise my Zoom calls. Evenings and weekends are family time, which means more play, more attention, and more couch cuddles. I'm happy to follow your dog's existing schedule for meals, medications, and bedtime, since I know routine is what helps most dogs settle into a new place quickly. Your dog's safety and comfort come first in our home. We have a fully enclosed yard for supervised play and potty breaks, and we're a short walk from several parks for longer outings, always on leash unless you've told me otherwise. I do a quick check of gates and latches before every outing, and dogs are never left unattended outside. Inside, your dog has the run of our home and is welcome on the furniture unless you'd prefer they stay off. We've never crated our own dogs, but if a crate is what makes your pup feel safe and settled, I'm happy to use one. Just bring it along with their bed, food, and anything else that smells like home.

“Sonja was amazing and helped us out short notice. Our sweet Boomer has anxiety and she was understanding and accommodating with him. She kept us updated with his walks and potty breaks. She promptly responded to messages and sent photos of him settling in. Boomer goes everywhere w us, but couldn’t today due to a last minute trip change, and us having to check out of the hotel. 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 had a dog named Buddy that I loved deeply for 16 years. Buddy passed away two years ago and it has been difficult moving on without him.I am looking for opportunities to dogsit for companionship and an excuse to be more active. I have dogsat for family many times and have experience caring for a range of ages and breeds. I am most familiar with caring for senior dogs. I work fully remote and will be able to be with your baby throughout the day. Please consider me you new sitter! Pet care fits into my daily routine, since I work from home, I’m able to take care of the dog during the day and night. I typically wake up pretty early and keep a regimented schedule throughout the day. I make sure the dog is walked. I make sure that I spend a little time playing with them if they’re older dogs and I spend a little time rubbing them or petting them. Some dogs don’t like all of that so you really have to pay attention to what type of dog you’re getting. Luckily I love all dogs so it’s all fun for me.

I enjoy taking dogs on long walks, playing with them at dog parks, and loving up on my furry friends. I currently have an extremely flexible schedule as I work remotely and control my own workflow. I also have two young children that require schedule flexibility. Very safe secure building, which includes dedicated dog walking areas, and also room to groom pets as well. Location is also close to some great parks and walking paths that dogs will enjoy

About: Hi! I currently have two mixed labs named Graham and chocolate who are sisters. I also have a sweet young cat named toasted marshmallow. We call them the s’more gang at home! In the past I have had two adorable dogs, a 14 year old female Husky mix and a 11 year old male Pembroke Welsh Corgi. I've trained all of my dogs to travel with me via plane, boat, metro transportation, and do some services for me. The last two dogs mentioned (Angel and Enzo) have passed away due to old age, but they were with me from puppyhood until their last breath. I also have a lot of experiences of taking care of other animals such as rabbits, rats, bearded dragons, snakes, frogs, and whatnot. I love all animals, but dogs and cats are my absolute favorite. I have experience taking care of sick animals and love animals that are especially wary of strangers or need time to warm up to. I’m currently a full time student with classes just on select days of the week, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. If I’m not housesitting for you (if you want to drop your pet off at my home), I have a huge fenced yard and lots of dog and cat beds/toys. We also have two young children under ages 4.

I have classes but I can try to be flexible. As long as good communication is used I will most likely be there to help. I will bring your dog around parks and make sure they are fine with the environment they are in. I mostly surround myself with people so the dog is likely to receive extra attention from them.

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.

“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!!!”

“Malvi and Andrej are really great; they provide personalized care for each dog staying with them, make sure that your dog will do well at their place by introducing them at a meet and greet, and asked about doggie habits and other things they should be aware of. They are communicative and provide lots of updates and pictures during the stay. Our high-energy puppy Echo had loads of fun during her overnight stay playing with the other dogs and came home happy and tired. Would highly recommend boarding with them - thank you Malvi and Andrej!”

“Sabrina cared so much for my boy Ace that he didn't want to come home! From consistent updates to an engaging itinerary and even managing his medical schedule, Sabrina did not disappoint. She openly communicated throughout his stay and managed his visit with much care. Ace will be hanging with her again soon.”

“Rodrigo was a lifesaver on multiple occasions in just a few short days - accepting a frantic last minute booking I had when some plans fell through and being very patient and helpful dealing with unexpected travel delays on my return. Plus I could tell Watson had a great time and got along super well with the lovely Luna. I have actually already booked again as I knew Watson is in good hands. Thanks Rodrigo!!”

“Maryjo was excellent! Our senior dog has never returned from a home sit more calm and unstressed. Clearly Maryjo took great care of our little old man! She sent us pictures everyday with updates on how he was doing. She also checked in to verify which foods he could have which I very much appreciated. She was an incredibly responsive and easy to coordinate with. I would highly recommended her as a sitter for any senior pups!”

“Mickinley was absolutely great. She was very kind, polite, and full of positive energy. She was also incredibly flexible and willing to adjust to my changing schedule, which I really appreciated. Before the booking, we scheduled a meet-and-greet, and she was happy to come to my home to meet Flash and start building a bond with him. While I was away, she took wonderful care of him and regularly sent me photos and updates, which gave me real peace of mind knowing he was happy and doing well. I would definitely recommend McKinley to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to look after their pup. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
