About: Grew up with Lily, my "sister" aka my mom's ragdoll Calico. I've helped bathe her, feed her, fish her toys out from under the dresser, and entice her into a carrier for vet visits. I think the best experience I've got in caring for Lily is learning to know what she wants, like when she sits patiently in front of her bowl. It means I must pet her while she eats!

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.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. With over two years of hands-on pet care experience, I provide every dog with patience, attention, and lots of affection. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, so I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether it’s an energetic puppy, a senior dog, or a shy companion, I treat every pet like family and make sure they receive the love, exercise, and care they deserve while you’re away. My goal is for both you and your dog to feel completely at ease. I offer a flexible schedule and do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. Whether it’s an early morning walk, a midday visit, or evening care, I’m committed to providing reliable, punctual, and loving care whenever you need it. . Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions, keep fresh food and water available, provide plenty of playtime and exercise, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and loved. I treat every dog with the same care and respect as if they were my own.

“Izzy and Brian are fantastic sitters. Very accommodating with drop off and pick up times, which is great for day trips (esp if we hit bad traffic or end up leaving later than originally planned). They send photos and videos regularly! Dzov LOVES his friend Jax and Ziggy and is always pooped out from playing so hard with those two all day. They're always my first go-to for day care/overnight stays because they're reliable, friendly, and can handle my big doggo!”

About: I’m a huge dog lover and would love to take care of your baby! I grew up with/around dogs and have been pet sitting my friends’ dogs for years. My dog, Junie, is an easygoing girl who loves long walks and playtime just as much as she loves cuddling on the couch! We’d love to have your dog join us for fun and relaxation! My dog takes some medicine so I’m comfortable providing all sorts of medicines to your dog and accommodating for any special needs they may have. I always send lots of updates and photos cuz I know how important to me when I’m away from my pup! I work from home full time so your dog won’t be alone all day. I usually take my dog Junie out at least once during the work day but we can adjust based on your pup’s needs! I want your pet to feel at home! He/she will be allowed on the furniture as long as you allow that at home (don’t want to build any bad habits 😊). Junie and I love long walks before and after work and we’d be happy to have your dog join us. There is a dog park about a 10 min walk away that we got to pretty frequently as well. If your baby is more of a couch potato, we can make that work too! My dog, Junie, is very go with the flow and will be happy to do whatever your dog wants to do!

About: I’ve always had pets and a garden at home: dogs, cats, birds, you name it. Even lately, while living in a city apartment, I’ve had a female Shepherd, and I’ve also looked after dogs for friends and others who entrusted them to my care. I have plenty of availability to look after your pet right now; just let me know in advance so I can make arrangements, and share the details so I can provide the best possible care for your pet. I live in an apartment with no other pets at the moment, so everything is clean and safe for them. Plus, the surrounding areas are perfect for walking—there’s the Mall and The Wharf—places where they can walk and socialize with other pets.

About: I’ve been around pets pretty much my whole life. I grew up with animals and had my own dog (Lucky) until he passed away from old age, so I know how much a dog really becomes part of the family. Since I was a teenager I’ve also pet sat for family and friends, so I’ve had plenty of practice with all kinds of personalities and energy levels. I currently work from home, so I’m around throughout the day to give your dog plenty of attention, playtime, and regular walks, not just quick check ins here and there. I’m flexible with boarding and house sitting and can build a routine around what your dog is used to. I live in an apartment in Navy Yard, just walking distance from a dog park, so there’s always a good spot nearby for exercise and playtime. I don’t have any pets of my own right now, which means your dog gets my full attention with no other animals to compete with.

About: My parents owned a doggy daycare and boarding place for dogs - I would watch over 40 dogs and ensure dogs never got into fights. I also have pet sat my neighbor’s dogs and cats and did drop in visits. And back in NJ, I always visit and look after my parent’s dog Bailey who is a yellow lab! I have a part time job, but I am available to do boarding, house sitting, and daycare from Friday to Monday! Dog walking and drop-in visits are anytime except 10 AM to 2 PM during weekdays. Side note: I live with a female roommate and my boyfriend likes to sleep over on weekends. Both of them are comfortable around dogs and cats. I would love to meet you and your pet beforehand to get to know you both and learn what needs to be done! In general, for client visits, I will always check in with your pet by giving them pets and/or scratches if they prefer. I’ll check to make sure they have enough food and water or feed your pet right away. After, I’ll go on a short or long walk for dogs. And of course, extra pets/scratches once your pet returns phone and double checking that the door/house is locked.

About: Hi, I’m N’Dia! 🐾 Hi, I’m N’Dia—aka your dog’s future BFF and belly-rub supplier! 🐾 I grew up as an only child with Giant Schnauzers and Rottweilers who were basically like siblings, so I’ve been fluent in “animal” since day one. I started pet sitting and walking in college as a side job, but quickly realized there’s nothing better than hanging out with furry friends. Whether your pup loves long walks, endless games of fetch, or just a solid cuddle session on the couch, I’m here to make sure they feel loved, safe, and entertained while you’re away. With me, your pet gets all the snuggles, scratches, and silly conversations they could ever want. 💜 Can’t wait to meet your four-legged family member! I’ve got plenty of time and energy to spoil your pup! 🐾 Walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just hanging out—your furry friend will have a built-in bestie while you’re away. I’m flexible and love keeping tails wagging! When caring for pets, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable—whether in my home or yours. At my home, I’m lucky to live at The Wharf in a pet-friendly building that has its own dog park, perfect for playtime and socializing. I’m also just a short walk from the National Mall, which makes for fun and scenic walks to keep pups happy, active, and stimulated. In my clients’ homes, I follow their routines closely to ensure consistency, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or cuddle time. I believe pets thrive when their routines are respected, so I bring plenty of patience, love, and attention to detail to make sure they feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I’ve had cats ever since I can remember. My family has taken in countless strays, raised kittens, and helped them find forever homes. My own cats are now 5 and 3 years old and the light of my life. I would love to help check in on your furry friend and spend time with them while you’re away! I can typically do drop ins early in the morning before work, or in the early evening after work! I’m quite flexible, although on weekends I may not be available. I want to provide you, your pet, and your home with the most reliable and respectful service. So please make sure to provide any necessary instructions ahead of time :)

About: I have dog sat for friends when they're out of town. I have watched my mom's cat for her whole life too. I love animals, I love playing with them, I love the excuse to get out for a walk, I love sitting with them, I love talking to them like they can understand what I'm saying. I genuinely enjoy hanging out with animals and care for them deeply. I work from home and have the flexibility to leave for a walk or run an errand whenever I need to. So if that means a 3 pm walk for your pup or a morning and evening feeding time for your pet, I'm here! I have a fenced in back yard, fenced in front balcony, and enclosed spaces throughout my home. I also have an open floor plan on the main level where I would feed your pet and hang out them mostly.

About: I've walked, fed, loved, and taken care of dogs for close to 16 years, from pit bulls to huskies to poodles. If your dog needs a temporary friend, I'm your guy. Now, I have my dog-sized cat Figaro, who has known me for 7 years. Being a doting Cat Dad has prepared me well for making sure your cat gets the TLC they need! I work remotely full-time and am very mobile, always ready to drop in when needed or to sit in for extended periods. Maybe your buddy can even help me out with a spreadsheet or two. It's all about the details. Number one: food in the dish (as appropriate), water in the bowl. Nobody misses a meal or goes thirsty with me. Secondly, where are they? Are they on their cat tree, are they off to cause mischief, are they waiting on the couch to play? At all times, I have this information for safety and for optimal picture-time. I don't need the little guy to come out of his hiding spot, I just need to know he's safe.

About: As a dog owner myself, I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and quirks. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and energy levels. I’m especially experienced with larger dogs and enjoy long walks, playtime, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. I’ll take the time to learn your dog’s routine and follow your instructions carefully so they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I am currently finishing up law school and have a relatively low workload this semester. I am extremely flexible both throughout the week and on weekends! I treat every pet like they’re my own and make their comfort and safety my priority. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m respectful of your home and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you know how your pet is doing. For walks and drop-in visits, I focus on giving your dog a safe, enjoyable experience while following any instructions you provide about feeding, bathroom breaks, leash habits, or behavior. I’m happy to take the time to get to know each dog and adjust my approach to their individual personality and energy level.

“Alli and her family took care of Cielo when our sitter canceled at the last minute. They were great! Alli was very responsive and sent daily updates on Cielo, which was just the right frequency for us.”

“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!”

“Our beloved, special needs, bundle of joy was very very naughty in our absence. Under difficult circumstances Ruth remained loving and understanding with him and professional and poised in communications with us. She also executed perfectly complex feeding and pill administration schedules. We definitely recommend her.”

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.

“Terrence is a great sitter! I got plenty of updates and photos about my pup's stay with him. His dog, Apollo, and my pup got along great and seemed to really have fun together. I had last minute changes with my travels and Terrence was very accommodating. Marble came home very happy and I will definitely book with Terrence again.”
