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.
“Melanie is the absolute sweetest! She took such good care of Duck & sent very cute pictures. I will definitely book again when I need to go out of town!”
“Beth was fantastic with Marty! She sent frequent photos and updates, and Marty was calm and content when I picked him up. An extra bonus is that he had a frenchie friend to hang out with! I will definitely request Beth’s services again.”
“Frida and Charlie were wonderful caretakers for my little pup. Frida was immediately responsive with texts and pics during Bailey’s stay. I often got more than one update a day! I look forward to more adventures knowing that Bailey will be well taken care of”
“Audrey has watched T’Challa twice now over this past month since I’ve traveled for work. She’s been super responsive when I inquire about availability and also when I’m checking in. I also love that there’s a dogpark on her rooftop—how fancy is that to see them hanging out up there?! She takes such good care of my little guy and I’m so grateful for her and her super cute pup! I’d recommend Audrey — 10/10!”

“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!”

“We are return customers for the kind, considerate, trustworthy and patient caretakers that are Megan and Kirby - THANK YOU! Their abilities to follow instructions, be consistent and caring and even better, their efforts to actually try and "bond" with our cats - especially the skittish one - are SO very much appreciated and we're so comfortable with them taking care of our kitties when we're away! We plan to continue requesting their services again in the future, if they're willing and available! Thanks again!”

“Mike was amazing with Scooby! He watched him for a couple of weeks and took great care of him the whole time. He was very helpful, easy to communicate with, and made sure we stayed updated every day by sending videos. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Scooby was in good hands. Highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring Rover 🙌🏽”
“Our cat fell ill before our vacation. I was concerned about leaving him. Chase did not hesitate at the prospect of checking on an ill cat. I was greatly reassured by Chases’s daily checkin notes and pictures and their followup with my cat’s medications. I appreciate Chase’s communication and care for our cat. Chase also brought in unexpected packages and the newspapers that weren’t held. I would hire Chase again!”

“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'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.
“I was in town for a baseball game and didn’t want to leave my puppy in the hotel room. Alisha was fantastic and I would recommend her without hesitation. She took great care of my Ruby.”
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.
“Emily is obviously a dog lover. She made my pup feel right at home and took her on a nice walk. I really like it when I get updates during the day and Emily sent me photos confirming my pup was comfortable and happy. I’ll definitely book with her again.”
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. I have a small fenced in backyard as well. Conveniently located on Capitol Hill right off 395. I work from home and walk my own dog morning, afternoon, and evening. Your dog can expect the same, plus lots of love and attention in the home both from me and my dog. Pets are treated like family in my home. I will take care of yours as if it’s mine. My dog Molly loves other dogs and my neighborhood is super dog friendly.
“Kristine was amazing! She helped make our trip to DC wonderful with both her welcoming smile every morning at drop off, and her insider knowledge and suggestions that made our travels more enjoyable. Thanks so much for everything, highly recommend!”
“Absolutely thrilled with the care provided by Carolin for Roman! She went above and beyond, ensuring our pup was happy, active, and well-loved during our time away. Highly recommend to any pet owner looking for reliable and affectionate care! Thanks again!”

“Michael was prompt, professional and wasn’t scared of my reactive pittie. I have never let anyone walk or take care of him without meet & greet first. I just couldn’t do that this time as I am injured.”
About: I have rescued and cared for multiple street dogs to full recovery, as well as having had my own. I currently have an English Cocker Spaniel, who has a lot of energy, but I found I still have more care to give. I used to work at a no-kill animal shelter for about 3 years, caring for dogs of all ages and illnesses. Highly experienced with puppies and senior dogs, with some cat care. I’ve provided dog training services, maintained training regimens, provided physical therapy, administered medication for all ages and conditions, and has experience with all temperaments of dogs. I look forward to sharing my love, care, and experience with your furry family member! I am currently working from home and found extra time in my schedule to give more care to pets. My mornings are generally more available and fluid. I live in a townhouse with a small front yard. For boarding or pet sitting in my home, I look forward to having another fur baby to be friends with my own. But I can give that same care in your home if need be!
