As an anxious pet parent, that peace of mind was everything. Our Maltese got an upset stomach during the last night of the stay. Sabrina took such great care of her and followed up with us to check on her a few days later after That level of concern shows this isn’t just a service, she genuinely care about the pets she watches. Thank you for treating our babies like they were your own. We’ll absolutely be back in the future!”

Tony adapted well to his new friends and I could tell he missed them after he left! Janel is the best!”

She asked thoughtful questions about their routines and treated them as if they were her own. Throughout my time away, she provided regular photos and videos, that brought me so much peace of mind. It was clear they were happy, well cared for and completely comfortable with her. I was able to actually enjoy my trip knowing they were in capable hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and generally caring I will highly recommend Zulma. I’m so grateful to have found her.”

She gave Thelma the TLC she deserves and i would not hesitate to have her care for her again.”

She responded quickly and was able to meet me at short notice. She was very sweet and the boys took to her immediately. She was great about cleaning up their messes (including a puke surprise left by one of them lol). This was the first time I booked a sitter to do daily drop-ins and I’m so glad I reached out to Mickela. She was such a huge help. 🤗”

“Toby had another great day at doggy daycare with Diego! I received tons of update videos and photos throughout the day. Diego takes care of my pup as if he were his own. I’ve used him several times and will continue to do so!”
“Theresa was amazing! Rosie had a great stay with her and T'Challa. Everything went perfectly, I'm so grateful that Theresa took such good care of Rosie while I visited the National Mall.”
“I brought my little senior to Denisha and I could not have been happier with the care she took with him. She has true caring for animals and she cared for my dog as well as she cared for her own dogs. They went on walks and when she noticed he was lagging, she picked up his ten pound self and carried him the rest of the way. She cues into behaviors to figure out dynamics and issues. She was just great. I loved that she took him on walks because no place I have taken him has ever put that effort into him. Please consider Denisha as a caretaker for your dog. I will definitely be going back to her.”

Bruno made a couple of new friends with Anthony's dogs, and I could tell by the excitement and the tail wagging that he was enjoying his time there. As long as Anthony is available, we definitely plan on making this a long term situation.”
“This was my puppy’s first time at doggy daycare, and Jayla was amazing! She made me feel completely comfortable, kept me updated throughout the day, and sent plenty of photos. My pup had a great time playing and socializing with another puppy. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience — highly recommend!”

“Joseph was an excellent caregiver for my 4 month old puppy Kakashi and demonstrated a great deal of professionalism and attentiveness throughout the duration of the stay. I was impressed with the level of communication from Joseph before, during, and after the dog-sitting period. Joseph was proactive in providing regular updates on Kakashi's well-being, including feeding times, walks, and any other notable activities. Joseph was also very accommodating to Kakashi's needs and preferences. He was patient and compassionate with Kakashi, who has had very little experience around other dogs and can be anxious in unfamiliar environments. Joseph provided ample attention, cuddles, and playtime to keep Kakashi calm and comfortable. Kakashi returned to me happy, calm and exhausted from a busy day. I honestly didn’t hear a peep out of him for the remainder of the evening. He ate dinner and immediately curled up for bed. I highly recommend Joseph as a dog-sitter. His professionalism, communication skills, and genuine care for animals make him an excellent choice for anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate caregiver. Thank you, Joseph, for taking such good care of Kakashi!”

Also, crate time can be given if needed. I prefer trained dogs, but if your fur baby is not trained then that is fine as well.

“Jackalyn and her husband were amazing! They looked after our dog and cat and did a terrific job. They walked our dog 3 times a day and fed and played with both of our animals. Jackalyn was very easy and responsive to reach and sent us photos of our animals everyday. I would gladly let Jackalyn and her husband watch our dog and cat again, and appreciate the terrific job they did! Would highly recommend Jackalyn to all of my friends and family or anyone else.”
“Mark and his family were absolutely amazing! The communication was great from start to finish, which really gave me peace of mind. This was Coco’s first time being away from me overnight, and honestly, I wouldn’t have gone if Mark and his family weren’t available. Coco can be full of energy, but I love how they were so patient and accommodating with her. I also really appreciated all the pictures and the positive, loving vibes from the whole family, it truly made a difference. Thank you all so much, and we will definitely see you again!”
“Payton is awesome and she truly cares for my dogs. She takes really good care of them and gives me plenty of updates (pictures, video, and messages) while they're in her care. She is the only one in this area that I trust to watch my dogs!”
“We felt super comfortable leaving our dog with Tommy for the weekend. Regular updates and we could tell he cares about the dogs he keeps. Will definitely go to Tommy again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!”
“Kim cared for my pup as her own. She was very attentive to him and cared about his feelings. This was my pup’s first time with Kim so he was a little nervous. She cared for his every need and made sure he felt loved and comfortable in her care. Kim made sure that my pup had plenty of fresh air and had lots of attention, attention to the point where she slept near him so he would not feel lonesome. My pup was nice and calm when I picked him up which let me know Kim loved on him as I do. I will book again with Kim. Thank you Kim.”
“Last minute we need a sitter and Adiyah came through in the clutch. Moses and Mercy both came back home happy. We received daily photos and updates of how they were doing which was reassuring. We will be back!”
“I recently had my Bella stay with Vania for 5 days. When I booked the appointment which was short notice I was thankful that Vania was will to accommodate me. Vania went above and beyond to provide great care to Bella, this was her 2nd time out of the home and from the time I dropped her off it was a challenge just to get her to indoors. I am thankful to Vania for her wonderful care of Bella and will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Yolande was incredible! She took such good care of Buddy, kept me updated, and he was such a happy boy when I picked him up. Will definitely be using her services again!”
“Malvi and Andrej are amazing hosts and your dog will have the best time in their yard. We have appreciated their help when we have had to leave our girl. Highly recommend.”
“I am so thankful to Alli and her family for taking such great care of my pup and highly recommend her. My dog got sick right before a work trip - Alli was extremely patient and understanding as I changed my travel plans at the last minute and was open to taking her, even knowing that she may need a return trip to the vet. My dog did absolutely fantastic in her care, Alli texted me regular updates and confirmed the sort of details that dog owners want to know when their dog is recovering from an upset stomach (that no one wants to see here.) Alli said she considers dogs part of the family and her care reflects that value 100%. Thank you, Alli!”
“I’ve been dragging my feet on leaving this review for one reason alone: I want to keep Elizabeth to myself! She is the best sitter I’ve been able to find on this app, and she is great at communicating both prior to a booking and during as well. My dog comes back happy and tired every time he stays with her and is always so excited to go back to her house. I trust her with my dog every time!”
“Branden was responsive and took great care of Zeus. There were no issues at all. I highly recommend Branden and happy to have found someone who will take great care of my Doberman.”
“Matthew treated our pups like they were his own. They were super happy and very well taken care of. Fantastic communication. Easy going and easy to work with. My pups already want to go back. Thanks for the fantastic experience!”
“Jayla took great care of our girl Ruby while we were out of town for the holiday break. She kept us informed and provided picture upgrades of our girl along the way. Definitely will rebook with her again when we’re in need.”
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.
“I had a great experience! My flight was unexpectedly canceled at the last minute, which completely changed my travel plans. Thankfully, Charei was incredibly flexible and understanding. Charei worked with me to modify the booking and even allowed me to pick up my dog 9 days earlier than originally planned without any hassle. That level of flexibility and kindness meant a lot during a stressful situation. I really appreciate their communication and willingness to work with me. I would absolutely book with Charei again and highly recommend them to other pet parents!”
