“Joe was great and we would be happy to leave Dakota in his care again. He was super flexible and provided daily updates which were really appreciated. Dakota made some dog friends and seemed to enjoy his lengthy visit. Joe lives near a wooded area so it was nice for Dakota to be a little bit out of the chaos of the city.”
“We had to leave our senior beagle Marley with Jaclyn for a 10 day trip. She was very professional and sent regular updates. I had no worries about his well-being and care. He came home looking and smelling like himself. I think he was sad to leave her house! We will be using her services again.”
“Matthew took great care of our dog! He regularly sent pictures and our pup came home exhausted from all the yard/park play. Will definitely book again with him next time we go away.”
“Staying with Elizabeth was a wonderful experience for us and our pups. She is responsive, friendly, and chill—what our pups needed. A great experience overall.”
“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!”
“Stephanie and Luis did an amazing job dog sitting! Communication was great from start to finish, and they kept me updated with pictures, which really put my mind at ease. They were so welcoming and even created a special space in their home for Coco and Chloe. I’d definitely trust them and rebook again!”
“Zulma took such great care of my two Shitzus Louie & Zoey. I got regular photo/video updates which I really appreciated. She asked for permission, which I gave, to bathe them, they were most likely smelly due to the weather. Can I tell you when we picked them up they were so silky, shiney and soft! Even more so than when they come from the groomers. I really must ask her what is the product she used! We will most definitely book her again!”
“Kelly did such a great job hosting Buggy! Buggy wasn’t feeling the best and had trouble eating but Kelly did an excellent job and gave me regular updates and photos so I knew she was in good hands.”
“Rae took great care of Jesse for a week. She has lots Of toys and activities for the busy pet. I’m so glad my dog also got to enjoy a vacation. I would rebook with Rae.”
“Jasmine and Stormi were great with Roxy. Roxy was transitioning between dog foods during her stay and Jasmine handled it like a pro. I would highly recommend Jasmine for your next trip.”
“Lia’s communication is always on point! Charlie and I recently moved to DC and looking for a new sitter. Lia was honestly the best sitter for Charlie! She went above and beyond for Charlie even accommodated to his spoiled picky eating behavior 😂. Honestly I want to gate keep Lia but I think everyone deserves to have a sitter like her.”
“Diego you did a great job taking care of my baby. Thank you!! And I appreciate kept me updated for his whole staying! Would definitely look for you for boarding my dog again!!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our Tony! Janel is kind, attentive, and truly loves dogs. Tony had never stayed in a different home before and has been pretty isolated. Janel was patient and loving to Tony and sent me cute pictures and notes. She was also very communicative and flexible when we had to change our pick up date. Tony adapted well to his new friends and I could tell he missed them after he left! Janel is the best!”
“Shwari always loves staying with Alli and her crazy crew! He's actually become so good with kids now- he always tolerated them fine, but after a few stays with Alli and her boys (who are high energy but respectful of and gentle with dogs) he is so much more relaxed around small people, and has started to seek them out!”
“Vania was really great and accommodating. The dogs were happy and they made it really easy on us with updates and keeping the dogs longer with our late flight. Would definitely use them again”
“Abigail took great care of our aging fur baby. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos. We definitely plan to reach out to her for future dogsitting!”
“Jennifer and Louis are FANTASTIC. They are Dolly's home away from home. I feel 100% at ease with Dolly in Jennifer's 24 hour care. Dolly has stayed with Jennifer before - and just now for 2 weeks and I will fly up from Florida for Dolly to stay with Jennifer and Louis when my family and I travel Internationally in October. Jennifer communicates, send pictures and keeps us informed. We love Jennifer and Dolly is always happy to see her and Louis.”
“June was an amazing “Mom” to my sweet, very old Havanese. She even taught him how to use the ramp in her backyard (stairs can be tough). He felt right at home!”
“Fathia was so awesome! She took such great care of Thelma and welcomed her into her family! She was warm and attentive and fun and was so joyful having Thelma with her. Got great update pics and feedback and Fathia had such a warm, confident and competent vibe, which is so important when you are far away. She gave Thelma the TLC she deserves and i would not hesitate to have her care for her again.”
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.

“Mikeala left a very detailed message about how my cat is doing. My cat in her pictures was lying down and rolling over which means she’s really comfortable with her ☺️💕 Thank you Mikeala!!”
“This was our 1st experience using Rover and in a brand new city. After meeting Megan & Kirby, we knew we made the perfect choice. They were absolutely great. Even though our electronic looks and camera notified us when they came and went, they still sent us daily updates & photos. All of that was great, but my cats response to them made it such a great experience. She can be a very fussy senior (loves to growl & hiss at sitters). It was the opposite with Megan & Kirby. Obviously she knew they were “pet people”. Anytime I have to go out of town, I’ll be using them! I can’t recommend them enough!”
“I highly recommend Mickela for your pet sitting needs. She was able to fill a super last min need for drop-ins on my two kitties while I was away for a few days. 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. 🤗”
“Alejandra did a great job dropping in on our cats over the weekend. She was on time, provided detailed reports, took lots of pictures, and asked good questions when some of the instructions we left were unclear. I plan to hire her again if she is willing!”
“Melissa is amazing. During her visit with Theodore she played with him and fed him right on schedule. Melissa leaves your home cleaner than she found it and is a real pleasure to speak to in person. I will be booking with Melissa for future visits because I can trust her with my precious cat boy and with my home.”
“Kalani took great care of my very active cat and my sensitive cat. She was communicative and sent regular updates and photos. I would not hesitate to ask Kalani to watch them again!”
About: I have had cats since I was young, but 2 1/2 years ago I adopted a kitty of my own. Her name is Zelda and she is a very vocal calico tabby. She is not just my cat, she is my child and I love her dearly. She has asthma… so I am familiar with administering feline medication, and although cleaning the litter box is my least favorite task, cats deserve a clean space too so I’m happy to tend to them.
About: My partner and I have experience caring for cats with a variety of personalities, from social and playful to shy and independent. We understand that cats rely heavily on routine and a calm environment. During house sitting, we carefully follow feeding schedules, refresh water daily, maintain clean litter boxes, and monitor for any changes in behavior or appetite. We provide companionship based on each cat’s comfort level — whether that means interactive playtime or simply quiet presence and reassurance. We are comfortable administering oral, liquid, and topical medications as directed. We are not able to administer injectable medications. Our goal is to keep your cat relaxed, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away.
“Heather did an amazing job of taking care of our three elderly cats. She was able to give them all the medications they needed, clean up after them and play with them every day. Thank you so much, and our kitties thank you too!”
About: I've cared for cats of varying shapes, sizes, and temperaments for 6 years. I am comfortable with overnight stays, routine check-ins, feeding, and grooming. I have taken care of cats with medical accommodations, including diabetic cats. I prioritize the comfort and safety of the cats I look after above all else, and remain communicative with owners about eating habits, temperament, and energy levels.
“I highly recommend her! She took wonderful care of my dog and treated him like her own. She made sure he was well-fed, gave him plenty of love and attention, and took him on regular walks. It gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and responsible hands. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Grace was amazing! Our kitty loved her so much while we were on vacation that I asked Grace to drop in 5 times instead of the original 3. I’m so glad that we booked with Grace, and I will continue to use her in the future!”
About: I'm currently working as a canine coach and know all about taking care of dogs and bathing them, cutting nails,etc.I also know the signs of seizures and how to time them and what to do in situations like that. I'm currently a canine coach and my days off are Tuesday all day, Thursdays all day and Saturday afternoons. Sometimes I'm available friday mornings if needed. I live in an apartment and have a small yorkie but my apartment complex has a dog park thats perfect for all breeds. If it's at the clients home I'll make sure doors are closed so they'll be safe and won't escape. On walks i'll make sure they are safe on their daily walks and have them prepare for any type of weather if they need their raincoats or snow boots or their heat protecting shoes and attire, etc.
“Absolutely amazing sitter. She left detailed notes after every visit, sent pictures, and clearly put a lot of care and attention into checking on my cat. I really appreciated how communicative and thoughtful she was, it made being away so much less stressful. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she’s watching. Would absolutely book again!”
“Issi is an exceptional cat sitter. She communicates beautifully and provides thoughtful, detailed updates that give you real peace of mind while you’re away. This was our second time booking her, and we’d recommend her without hesitation to anyone who wants their pet cared for with genuine love and attention. This trip was our first time leaving Murphy for an extended period, and we’re so glad we had Issi. When we returned, Murphy was calm, happy, and clearly well looked after. It’s evident that Issi went out of her way to provide enrichment and affection — not just meeting Murphy’s basic needs, but truly nurturing her. She also took wonderful care of our home in the process. We’ll absolutely be booking Issi again!”

“Melissa is a great host! Sasha loves her. She takes care of Sasha like it was her own. Melissa is responsive and will keep you updated. She cares for your pet and make sure they are safe and well taken care of. Sasha knows when it is daycare and time to go to Melissa’s house.”
“My dog, Freddie, stayed with Joe for an afternoon while we were out in Beaufort. Joe has a great location, super convenient to downtown and a great backyard for the pups to play in. Joe made things super easy and his dog, Watson, kept Freddie busy and entertained for the afternoon. Would highly recommend Joe and Watson and hope to have Freddie stay again in the future!”
“Alejandra is an a amazing! Me and my Miniature Schnauzer WALL-E relocated. We've been trying to find someone loving, caring and great with fur babies. Our MEET and Greet with her was so inviting. She introduced us to handsome lil guy Ritchie (Pomeranian). WALL-E and Ritchie for familiar with each other with no worries!. I used the day care service. Alejandra was great with communicating. Very professional and she loves showing love to WALL-E. She presented videos, photos and kept me updated on how my lil guy was doing throughout the day. Thank you WALL-E and Q”
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.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was about 10 years old ! I have always been the kind of person who takes in a stray cat or dog or at least feed them. Anytime anyone needs a pet sitter they call me and I gladly provide the services needed ! I currently own two cats who have been raised around dogs due to me being a temporary foster home for pets ! My cats are also friendly towards other cats ( due to the amount of cats I temporally foster ) I’m currently unemployed but I do have a online business which allows me to have an open schedule. With having more time on my hands than the average person I am able to provide care at any moment notice I live in a dog friendly neighborhood with a full sized state park less than 10 minutes away ! What that mean is your dog will get in all the exercise they needs while exciting their sense to a world of unfamiliar smells and sights !
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give every animal in my care. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to provide personalized care based on their needs. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and animals that may need extra patience or attention. I can assist with basic puppy routines, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and helping reinforce simple training habits. For senior pets, I provide gentle care, medication reminders if needed, and a calm environment to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I also focus on keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they always feel connected and reassured while away from their pets. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel cared for and comfortable. I make time throughout the day for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving pets the attention they need. I’m organized and dependable, so I’m able to stay consistent with each pet’s routine and any special instructions provided by owners. I also make sure pets get plenty of love, patience, and companionship, whether that’s active playtime for energetic pets or calm, gentle care for senior animals. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, so I always make it a priority in my schedule. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their environment as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication needs, and any specific house rules. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by keeping their normal routine consistent and giving them plenty of attention, affection, and supervision while I’m there. If caring for pets in my own home (if applicable), I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space where they can relax, play, and feel secure. I always prioritize safety by monitoring them closely, providing fresh water, regular meals, exercise, and lots of interaction so they don’t feel lonely or anxious. In both settings, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they are well cared for, happy, and comfortable at all times. Communication with the owner is also important to me, so I provide updates to give peace of mind while they are away.

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have a large, fenced-in yard for my 2-year old Black Russian Terrier male dog (the sweetest thing) to romp around, and I have a dog door that freely opens to the yard so your pet can go outside whenever they want. I also have chickens in the backyard, but they are secured in their run, so they are just eye candy for the doggies. Since I work from home, I am always at my house, and my office window looks over the yard, so there is always a watchful eye over the pets. The fence surrounding my house is always locked so there is total security, and of course if your pet wants to cool off or warm up--they have full access to the house with soft beds to lay in.
About: Recently married and paying off bills! If you have animal needs, I'm your girl! I've had cats and dogs my whole life. All kinds of breeds-mostly huge ones🤣 husky, chow, labs. I currently swap pet care with a neighbor, so I figured why not sign up for Rover! She said she used to do it, and she enjoyed Rover. It gives me a dopamine boost every time I get to see the fur babies. I'll treat them just as my own. I work from home, so with enough notice, I can make time to make runs out to care of your pets! I am in Temple Hills - very nearby is easiest. I usually immediately let out the dogs or walk the dogs. Then I feed them. While they are eating, I will do whatever needs to be done such as filling water bowls, cleaning up messes, etc. Then once they are done, I give lots of hugs or play depending on the doggie needs. Some dogs just want to sit under my feet and sleep while I'm at the counter or some dogs have all the energy in the world. Cats tend to just be cats 🤣 I had a cat that requires injections, so long as the dog or cat tolerates, I can do shots, oral or topical meds.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my dedication to my service dog, Luna Bell (Leonberger) and my rescued kitten, Jojo Mojo (orange short hair). Managing Luna's complex medical needs, including medication, herbal remedies, and a specialized diet while creating a harmonious living situation with Jojo, has refined my skills in detailed care, dietary management, and fostering positive pet interactions. Their mutual snuggle cuddles are a testament to the peaceful, happy environment I nurture. My experience in continuous training and creating a multi-pet household where animals bond seamlessly makes me uniquely suited to care for dogs that are well-trained and cat-friendly. This blend of personalized care, attentiveness to pet dynamics, and a welcoming home for pets with diverse needs truly sets me apart. Pet care is normally round the clock at my household, I work from home and am able to check on my pets whenever I want to and it would be no different with your furbaby. They will get love throughout the day with treats twice a day. I have a fenced yard with security cameras as well as indoor cameras, and a kitten, your dog will have plenty of fun and space while at my house.
About: Available to walk or do check ins! I am lifetime pet lover, current dog owner! My family had cats all of my life, and I used to pet sit for my neighbors growing up. I always wanted a dog of my own, so in 2015, I adopted a sweet and affectionate, hound mix named Murphy. Murphy is my partner in crime and has been such a joy in my life; I love spending time with him and taking care of him! I work during the day on weekdays but my hours are pretty flexible and I am fully remote. In terms of dog walking, I am a very active person so as long as they are able, we can go on hikes, runs, and long walks! I am fullly remote - work from home so my availability is very flexible. Weekdays - I can do mornings or after 3pm. Saturday - all day Sunday - 1-5pm I offer walking and check ins - I will treat you home with respect and happily take care of your dog while you are away.

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. I have owned and cared for pets since I was seven years old and worked for the humane society for two years while attending college. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with love, attention, patience, and a safe environment. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, car rides, and engaging them in playtime activities that keep them happy, active, and mentally stimulated. My experience with a variety of breeds has given me extensive knowledge of different temperaments, behaviors, and care needs. I am gentle, dependable, and committed to ensuring every pet feels comfortable and secure. In addition to caring for my own animals, I have rescued pets and helped provide safe homes for those in need. I am also a dedicated supporter of the humane society because I believe pets truly enrich our lives. Each animal has a unique personality and special way of communicating, and I find great joy in building trusting relationships with them. For me, caring for pets is more than a responsibility—it's a passion and a way of helping save and improve lives. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a working professional, I understand the importance of balancing responsibilities while ensuring pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need.

About: I have been caring for pets for most of my life and understand that every animal has unique needs, routines, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me for years to care for their dogs and cats while they are away. I provide attentive, dependable care that includes feeding, walking, administering basic medications when needed, maintaining clean food and water areas, and ensuring pets receive plenty of affection and companionship. I am comfortable caring for senior pets, following detailed care instructions, and maintaining consistent routines to help pets feel safe and comfortable. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can have peace of mind while they are away. I currently have a flexible schedule and work part-time as a freelance professional, which allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to the pets in my care. I am generally available Monday through Friday between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM for drop-in visits, walks, and pet care services. I also offer boarding and pet sitting on weekends and can accommodate many scheduling needs with advance notice. I enjoy spending time with animals and strive to provide consistent care, companionship, exercise, and attention while their owners are away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, child-free home that provides a calm and quiet environment for visiting pets. I do have one cat who will be kept completely separate from guest pets to ensure everyone's comfort and safety. While my yard is not fenced, all outdoor time will be carefully supervised, and dogs will always be leashed during walks and potty breaks. I closely follow each pet's routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I believe in maintaining open communication and will provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is receiving attentive, loving care.
“Saraii was a great help to my family and I while I was traveling abroad. She was in constant communication and I felt confident my dogs were well cared for when they were with her.”
About: Hi, I have had a lot of experience with my own pets, as I have had dogs all of my life, in addition to dog sitting that I have done on the side in previous years. I am such a pet lover and I am really looking forward to this experience, especially since I work 100% remote. Some things that distinguish me from other people is that I am open to learning, so new experiences and situations come easily to me. Secondly, I am extremely caring, especially when it comes to other people's animals, since I understand what its like to leave your pet in the care of somebody else. I am also easy to work with and have no issues communicating through any possible issues. Working 100% remote allows me the flexibility to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I can take short breaks throughout the day to attend to my dog’s needs, whether it’s a quick walk, some playtime, or feeding. I also make time for longer walks in the morning and late afternoon, which gives both of us a refreshing break and helps my dog stay active. Being remote means I can adapt my schedule to ensure they get the care and attention they need without interrupting my work flow. In my home, I provide pets with a comfortable and spacious environment where they feel right at home. My 3-bedroom house offers plenty of room for pets to explore and relax, and I have a fenced-in backyard that allows for safe, supervised outdoor play. I prioritize creating a nurturing and engaging environment, ensuring pets have ample attention, playtime, and exercise. For walks, feeding, and any specific needs they may have, I tailor my routine to each pet’s preferences. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I keep their routines consistent, providing the same level of personalized care and attention to ensure they feel secure and happy in their familiar environment.

I have pet sitted for families friends on vacation, making sure the environment is the same as the owners left it .I am respectful of other belongings and stay to areas I was trusted to remind in.
About: Hi! My name is Anjelica. I am a dog person and a cat person but if I am to be honest I have gotten a huge soft spot for cats since having 2 of my own. I have pet sit for people many times over the past couple of years, cats and dogs. Whether it involved me going to their house, walking them, or having them come to my house for a couple of hours. I have a car so I am able to drive to wherever I’m needed and am available most days! Like I said you can trust me with your fur baby. I am particular with how I feed my own cats so I understand certain routines that may be requested when it comes to watching other people’s pets!😄 I am available to provide pet care throughout the week (M-F) 10am-7:30pm. If you would like me to provide pet care more than once throughout the day or week I just ask that you provide enough detail and clear communication I want to provide the best care for the pets. I ask the owner(s) about anything I should specifically do or not do, how often should I walk them, when their feeding times are, etc. I just make sure I have all the necessary info so the pet can be taken care of properly and safely and then it’s time for belly rubs!

“What a good thing to be able to trust someone with your dog and with Tiffany I felt it 100%. She was communicative- sending lots of updates and photos. From the photos it’s evident how happy my Nera was with being cared for and walked by Tiffany. Would rebook without hesitation.”
“Kalani is wonderful! She is reliable, communicative and great with our pups. She is really wonderful with our higher-maintenance dog who is a runner and quite a barker. She is patient with him and takes great care to make sure he’s safe and secure. Best of all, we never have to worry about our pups on the days she’s scheduled to walk them. We’re so grateful! Thank you, Kalani!”
About: I have helped my mom care for our house animals (dogs, cats, etc.), but I stepped in and took responsibility when we adopted our boy Kato. He is a six 1/2-year-old Staffordshire Pittie with all the skin problems bully breeds come with. I have aided in feeding, walking, and giving him his medicine at appropriate times. I am employed part-time, so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your furry babies. I also have my means of transportation, so getting to them will be no problem. I do not intend to use my home to watch your dogs because my pitty was not properly socialized as a puppy; however, I can adapt to any of your pet's routines or needs in your home.

“Joe was great and we would be happy to leave Dakota in his care again. He was super flexible and provided daily updates which were really appreciated. Dakota made some dog friends and seemed to enjoy his lengthy visit. Joe lives near a wooded area so it was nice for Dakota to be a little bit out of the chaos of the city.”
“We had to leave our senior beagle Marley with Jaclyn for a 10 day trip. She was very professional and sent regular updates. I had no worries about his well-being and care. He came home looking and smelling like himself. I think he was sad to leave her house! We will be using her services again.”
“Matthew took great care of our dog! He regularly sent pictures and our pup came home exhausted from all the yard/park play. Will definitely book again with him next time we go away.”
“Staying with Elizabeth was a wonderful experience for us and our pups. She is responsive, friendly, and chill—what our pups needed. A great experience overall.”
“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!”
“Kelly did such a great job hosting Buggy! Buggy wasn’t feeling the best and had trouble eating but Kelly did an excellent job and gave me regular updates and photos so I knew she was in good hands.”
“Shwari always loves staying with Alli and her crazy crew! He's actually become so good with kids now- he always tolerated them fine, but after a few stays with Alli and her boys (who are high energy but respectful of and gentle with dogs) he is so much more relaxed around small people, and has started to seek them out!”
“Vania was really great and accommodating. The dogs were happy and they made it really easy on us with updates and keeping the dogs longer with our late flight. Would definitely use them again”
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 needed 5 hours of dog care for my newly rescued senior Pomeranian and I’m so grateful to have found Donna. Donna provided a calm and caring environment for my dog to feel comfortable and relaxed, and they took a 20 minute walk together. Thank you so much, Donna!”
“For as long as Melissa is on here I will continue to rely and trust her for when I’m away from my boy. She continues to be extremely communicative, loving, and caring for my boy. A+++++”
“Christian was amazing! Accepted my sitting request with pretty short notice after I found out my roommate wouldn’t be able to watch my dog. She also gladly watched my dog for an extra night than was originally planned when my flight got delayed. She sent me frequent updates and pictures of my dog, and it was obvious he was happy and well taken care of. Would definitely recommend her services and book with her again!”
“Brian was amazing!!! Him and his wife took good care of my Jesse. He was flexible with drop off and pick up time. He kept me updated. Jesse was allowed on the couch!!! (That was a big deal to me).Thank God I have found a sitter who I will be using in the future. Jesse was sad to leave them!!! Thank you guys!!!”
“Shaela took great care of our furbabies and was very patient with our puppy Dolly. She treated them as her own and they loved all the extra toys she gave them. Your pets are in excellent care with Shaela.”
About: Hi! I'm Krista and I genuinely love spending time with dogs and have lots of experience taking care of them. I recently said goodbye to my sweet and quirky 12‑year‑old German Shepherd. Caring for her throughout the years has given me experience with all the different stages from energetic pups to the oldies with mobility challenges and slower routines. My shepherd struggled with anxiety around other dogs, so I’m very familiar with reading body language, creating safe distance, and keeping walks calm and controlled. Throughout the years, I have cared for and spent ample time with doggos belonging to friends and family members and look forward to the opportunity to give others peace of mind when they need to leave their loved ones. Lots of walks, pets, play time and of course, photos/videos for owners! I work from home so there are lots of opportunities to go outside. There are a few parks nearby and lots of grassy areas. I also have dog beds, dishes and plenty of toys! Please note, my building unfortunately has restrictions on the following dog breeds: Akita, Alaskan Malamutes, Chow Chow, Doberman Pinscher, Malamute, Pit Bull Breeds, Presa Canarios, Rottweiler, Staffordshire Terrier and Wolf Dogs. I live in a condo building but there's lots of areas outside to venture around! I do own a crate if needed/preferred. I will bring your dog on many walks and ensure they have lots of play time (for the youngins) and rest (for the oldies) :)
“I left my dog Archie with Francise for a couple days and she was great with him! He’s an anxious one and when I went to get him he seemed so happy and comfortable. Francise was great with accommodating me and had great communication while I was away.”
“It seemed like Dakota did really well and enjoyed his time with Mary and her dog. Mary was accommodating to our scheduling needs and accommodated a meet and greet to make sure the pups would get along. Dakota seemed to enjoy her outdoor spaces. We would book Mary again”
“Nina was absolutely amazing while boarding my boy, Abe! She went above and beyond from the start — she even met me beforehand near my place since I don’t have a car, which was such a huge help. During Abe’s stay, she sent me tons of updates, photos, and the sweetest little stories about his day, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It was clear she cared for him like he was her own. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Anna was fantastic! Quick communication and booking. She sent pictures each morning of our fur baby during her 10 day stay and I could tell Anna made Sadie feel right at home from the first day.”
