We would definitely be booking with Holly again when we are in town—highly recommend!”

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’ve grown up with dogs all my life, and currently own Gullu, a 10 yr old rescue. I have experience managing all ages and sizes of dogs, with varying medical conditions and unique needs. I successfully trained Gullu out of her separation anxiety with a lot of love and patience, and the joy of seeing her blossom makes me believe in every dog’s potential! I work full time from home. I have a set schedule for my dog Gullu as I walk her 4-5 times a day. On weekends I do extra long walks to ensure she gets enough exercise. I live in a 1500 sq ft apartment with a large living space. I also have a very sweet and friendly 10 year old rescue, Gullu who is a small 25 lbs mixed breed. She is very gentle, minds her own business and has no issues sharing space or toys. I can crate your dog if needed.

About: Lifelong cat and dog owner. I love all animals and long walks are my favorite ‘sport’. Now that I live away from home, I really miss having pets around and love giving them care and attention. I work from home most days, so I have plenty of time for walks, cuddles, and play. I’m only in the office one day a week. 🙃 I’m very attentive to hygiene, so my space is clean, organized, and cozy. All my windows have secure screens, so your cat will be comfortable and safe.
“I have booked Becky twice now. She has done a great job with my anxious pandemic pup. She even accommodated my last minute request. She communicated clearly and promptly. I will certainly book her in future.”
“Jondle was great with our older (and sometimes stubborn) French bulldog! She was very responsive throughout the entire process and made a point to come meet me and Eloise before she started caring for her.”
“Sarah was phenomenal. We have a new pup that’s very anxious about strangers in the home and was giving her a hard time barking at her. She was so very patient and stayed longer than was required to work his confidence up to warm up to her. Her professionalism and kindness took a lot of anxiety off of us new dog parents! We will certainly be using her services again.”
“Ella is amazing! She took on a last-minute walk for my pup and went above and beyond - put his raincoat on, dried him off after, and made sure he was settled before she left. She's so thoughtful and communicated clearly the whole time, sending cute photos and even a heads up on a slight bathroom issue. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve always had cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with two dogs and now have two cats in the city! Can’t wait to meet your pet! Currently a student so I have a flexible schedule, so weekday drop ins and walks should be easy to schedule! Mondays and Tuesdays are my busiest days. I have two friendly cats who have regularly interacted with other cats. I would love to take dogs for long walks to help tire them out and keep them entertained!
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I grew up in Montana surrounded by animals and was lucky enough to grow up with a Newfoundland, so I’m very comfortable around large dogs. I studied wildlife conservation in college, and my love for animals has always been a huge part of who I am. I regularly walk and help care for the doodle belonging to the family I nanny for, and I’ve also house sat and cared for dogs, cats, and chickens—even a hairless cat! I recently moved to DC to begin graduate school, and I’m excited to spend some of my free time caring for pets and exploring the city with some furry companions! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll make sure your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. As a graduate student, I have classes a few days a week, leaving many of my mornings and afternoons flexible for pet care. I recently moved to DC and am excited for the opportunity to get to know my new city while spending time with some furry friends! Whether that means going for walks, playing, or simply keeping your pet company, I’d love to make pet care a fun and meaningful part of my weekly routine. For drop-in visits and dog walks, I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide! I’ll ensure they have the attention, exercise, and care they need.
About: I genuinely enjoy spending my time with animals and taking care of them. I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats including my own since I was in middle school so for over 10 years now. So naturally I’m familiar with daily walks and feeding schedules and making sure that the pets get the best possible care that they need.

About: Hello! I grew up with dogs and have taken care of them since college. I have experience with big dogs (including pitbulls), small dogs, anxious dogs, and reactive dogs. I also have experience administering medication. I’d be thrilled to meet your fur baby - let’s chat! I work from home, so I’m available to care for your pet in the mornings, around lunchtime, and the evenings. I don’t travel often, so I am a reliable source for routine care, as well. I live in an apartment with my boyfriend and no other pets, so your furry friend will feel secure and safe. I’m also more than happy to stop by your home to feed, play with, and or/walk your pet if you prefer in-home care.
“Yulia was excellent with our dog Beasley! She was punctual, kind, and incredibly communicative -- and sent a thorough "Rover report card" with photos after each walk. Beasley can be anxious and shy around new people, and Yulia was incredibly patient with her. She read the room well, offered plenty of positive reinforcement, coaxed Beasley through stressful moments, and never pushed her beyond her limits. She even stayed a bit longer at the dog park to let Beasley decompress. We can't wait to book her again!”
About: As an agroecologist, caring for animals is a big part of both my personal and professional life. I’ve worked around livestock, barn cats, wildlife, and pets, which has made me attentive to animal behavior, body language, and individual personalities. I also have a senior cat of my own, so I understand the patience and gentleness older pets can require. I love dogs and am fascinated by their social intelligence, and I’m happy to adapt my care to each pet, whether they need energetic play, a long walk, quiet companionship, or a slower pace. My work schedule is fairly laissez-faire and flexible, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the week. I’m also on an active fitness and weight-loss journey, so I’m always looking for an excuse to get moving! Whether your pup needs a long walk, an energetic play session, or your cat needs some quality company and attention, I’m happy to work their routine into mine. I live in an apartment with my own beloved cat, who is fairly shy and prefers having his home to himself, so I do not offer boarding in my home. However, I’m very happy to provide house sitting and care for pets in the environment where they already feel safest and most comfortable. I’m respectful of each home and attentive to each pet’s established routines, boundaries, feeding schedules, and individual needs.
About: We’ve both had dogs in our family since we were young and we have our very own, paçoca! She’s a nova scotia duck toller. Her name means little peanut in portuguese and nothing describes her better than that. we love nothing more than to be around dogs. We would love to care for yours! We both work a hybrid schedule and at least one of us is always available to care for, play, and walk pets as many times as needed. We can provide your dog with the exercise they may need, whether it is a morning run, long walk in the afternoon, or dog park visit. We live in a pet-friendly two bedroom apartment with lots of light and space. Dogs we’ve cared for prior really enjoyed laying on the couch/their beds and getting some sun. We live very close to Logan Circle, which is a great, pleasant and green space in downtown DC for dogs to walk and play with other dogs. We love incorporating the pets’ routines into our own and can adapt as needed. Taking them on walks during the day is a great opportunity to take work breaks, get some fresh air, and enjoy the day. Our apartment is spacious and gets lots of sunlight, which the dogs love! It’s also close to lots of nice green areas such as Logan Circle or the S street dog park!
“James was incredible with my two golden retrievers. It was a last minute request for a full week of walking them. He was patient with them even when the dogs were stubborn and not wanting to walk (as Goldens tend to do). He was always on time and gave me a full report. I highly recommend James to take care of your pups. I certainly plan too!”
“Naa Kuorkor has done an amazing job with Charlie. She’s been detailed with how the walks went and making sure that Charlie is content. She’s consistent with clear communication. I highly recommend her for your dog walking needs :)”
