“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“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.”
“Fitz had a wonderful time with Melonie. We found a 2nd home for him and i will truly have a more enjoyable trip knowing Fitz is staying with a wonderful family.”
“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.”
About: I love all pets. I have been pet sitting since I was a teen. My clients trust me and they know their beloved pets will be well taken care of with me. I currently work full time. I have a very flexible job that allows me to have enough time to care for your pet when needed. I have a large yard where your pet can play and explore. The house is large enough for my and your friends. My pets are very friendly and love having visitors.
“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!”
“From the moment we met Kimberly our dog Hercules was a fan. He walked right up to her and was so excited and happy to be there. She sent us videos and pictures daily while we were away and Hercules always looked so happy and excited to be there. Kimberly made it easy for us to confidently leave him in her care. We'll definitely book Kimberly again.”
“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!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Lynette set the bar high. This was our first board and she made sure Niyah was comfortable, and kept in contact with. Niyah had soo much fun and I am thankful!!!”

“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 love all the dogs. I enjoy playing with them and taking walks. I love long hiking in the parks where me and dogs can be closer to nature. I have always met only great dogs. They all have different personalities and this is something that requires patience and understanding to allow the dog connect with me. However, as big or small the dog can be, it has no difference for me. In my life I had only one time dog biting me and it was when I was a child and was running through the neighbor's property and the dog did his duty and started running after me. He scratched my left leg with his teeth, but it was more of a gentle warning, than a bite. Dogs listen to me very well. Sometimes I get surprised myself how well they respond to me. This is something I would enjoy doing with all my heart Dogs are amazing creatures! Thank you, Oksana
About: I have been around a variety of animals my entire life! Currently we have a 2 year old Newfoundland. We love the big and fluffy dogs. Winston loves making new friends to play with. We have a large fenced in Yard (5 foot tall fence). I have raised huskies for 12 years, so I have experience with the energetic, hyper active dog breeds. I also have experience with many other animals as I have had them as pets previously (cats, lizards, ferrets, rats, hamsters, birds). I prefer to pet sit for only one family at a time. This is for your pets safety as well as my dogs. I was a vet tech for 12 years. I am comfortable giving medications (oral, injection, topical, eye drops). I have experience with young and older dogs. Typically first potty break is around 6am and bedtime around 9pm. During the day dogs can go outside every few hours as needed. I currently primarily telework 3 days a week, and go in person to the office 2 days a week. Dogs are welcome in the home office and will get let out throughout the day. When I have to go in person, dogs are kenneled. My in person days are typically 9 hour days. Dogs are fed twice a day and sepetate from one another. Food bowls are not left out during the day. There is always access to fresh water. Dogs sleep in the bedroom with us at night. The back yard is fully fenced in (15 steps down). I also have a ti-out in the front yard for senior dogs who are not good with stairs. The kitchen and living room area are baby gated off. Gates are only shut when needed. Otherwise dogs have full access to 1st and 2nd floor. Winston is very friendly and loves them company of other dogs (playing or lounging togeher).
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.
“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.”
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.
“I thank Justina so much for all she did for my girls! They love her and was well behaved for her! I thank her for the clean ups and refills. Everything seem to have gone well!!”
About: I've always had cats. I absolutely adore my cat, Zora. I've had her for a year in December 2023 after losing my prior cat of 15 years to cancer in August 2022. That was the most traumatic experience of my life to say the least. That is her in my profile picture. I had a photoshoot with her when they told me her chemo stopped working. 😔 People are always surprised when their cat comes to me saying, "Wow. My cat doesn't like anyone ever." Animals tend to love me 😁
“Gennevieve was the best babysitter for my Ophelia! She sent pictures everyday, let me know how she was doing. Her home was clean and she had one kitty so my kitty had a friend! I would definitely book her again on the future!!”
“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. 🤗”
“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!!”
“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 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.

“Iveth took fabulous care of our babies! Her calm and friendly demeanor even warmed up our aloof girl who could not resist saying hello and getting some affection. Communication was great and she was very accomidating when our return flight was delayed. Would absolutely recommend!”

“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.”
“Max provides excellent care. Our puppy responded so well in meeting Max putting both our puppy and us at ease. Our puppy also benefited from the opportunity to be socialized with another puppy. We highly recommend the professionalism and care that Max provides.”
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.
“Chris came through at a very critical time for us . This was our first time leaving our Rocky with anyone and we were very nervous of leaving him. But we are very pleased with everything , Chris was very responsive and sent pictures of our dog while we were away .”
“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!”
“Aja did everything a dog parent could ask for in caring for our two Bichons while we ran some errands. We loved the updates and photos she sent and took care of one dog’s “accidents” without a complaint. She is a pro and we would not hesitate to recommend her.”
“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 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: 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.
“Joanna is a very kind hearted sitter. Drake fell in love with her the first time he meet her. Remi is a cool dude who has confidence and is very friendly. I have zero worries whne Drake is in her care.”
“Latoya was soooo sweet and accommodating. This was my first time leaving my new fur baby with anyone for the work day, and from the moment we arrived we both felt right at home. Star did not want to leave! Thank you so much again Latoya, I can't wait for Star to come back and spend time with you all. <3”

About: I am considered and called the “Dog Whisperer” amongst my Doggie group and family. I love and take care of dogs and cats as if they were my own kids. I telework and have a very flexible schedule, so I am able to be attentive and available for your fur babies as I am to my own. I am able to make schedule accommodations, if necessary. I offer an intimate and warm family environment when I welcome your babies into my home. They are not treated as if they are in confinement and/or at a dog shelter, but as if they are a part of my family. Although they are free to roam the house, crating will be used if needed. If you are welcoming me in your home whether it’s to drop in or home sit, I am here to see fit that I continue the same patterns of the schedule and routine and to express the love you give your babies as if you were here.
About: I Love Dogs!! Why Not Rov!!! I currently have a two year old whippet terrier mix and she is my world!! She is like my child lol... So your dog will be in great care by receiving constant monitoring, long walks, on time feeding times and play times with myself and my dog. My current dog roams freely around my apartment so your dog will receive lots of freedom to play and roam around as he or she fits. If you wish to have your pup separate, I have a big enough apartment where the dogs would be kept separate and receive little to no contact. There is also a dog park close to my home (Bundy Dog Park) that me and my dog go to all the time. Your dog will love it. PS. I love to send photos and videos to owners of their dog(s) in my care.

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 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: With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I provide more than just walks — I provide safe, loving, and attentive care tailored to every pup’s unique personality and needs. My background includes fostering dogs, working in a professional dog boarding facility, volunteering in animal shelters, and gaining experience in an animal hospital setting, which has given me the skills to confidently care for dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. As a dedicated fur mom myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I treat every dog like family and focus on creating a comfortable, stress-free, and fun experience while you’re away. Whether your pup needs extra patience, structured care, medication support, playtime, or simply lots of love and attention, I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and cared for every step of the way. I pride myself on reliability, communication, and building genuine bonds with both pets and owners. Your dog’s well-being will always be my top priority. My schedule is structured to make sure every dog in my care gets the time, attention, exercise, and consistency they deserve. I currently work full-time Monday through Thursday from 4 PM–12 AM, so on those days I’m available for morning and noon visits, walks, drop-ins, feedings, potty breaks, and quality playtime before heading to work. Friday through Sunday, I have open availability and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and nighttime care as needed. I always try to be flexible and communicate clearly with pet parents so I can provide the best care possible for each dog’s routine and individual needs. With my years of hands-on experience working with dogs in boarding facilities, shelters, fostering, and animal hospitals, I understand how important reliability, patience, and personalized care are for both pets and owners. When caring for pets in their homes, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every dog is different, so I tailor my care to each pet’s specific needs, routine, and personality. Whether it’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication, cuddles, or giving extra patience to anxious pets, I make sure your fur baby receives the same love and attention they’re used to at home. During walks and pet sitting visits, I focus on safety, communication, and making sure your pet is happy, exercised, and well cared for every step of the way.

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.
About: I've owned cats, dogs, and even guinei pigs the majority of my life. I've had a total of 4 dogs and 12 cats during my life. I'm patient, caring, fun, and an outstanding friend! I've cared for dogs with special grooming needs, exercise needs, and varying quirks. I'm available most what's, except for Tuesday and Thursday, but can make time on those days if needed. I'm always available on those days after 8 though :-). By nature, I'm very organized and timely. I pride myself on it, and always will. No matter the size of the dog, or cat, I can work with your pet. I know that I vibrate an excellent aura, as I've yet to run into a dog or cat that does not like me. Most importantly, I know that pets are family, and should be cared for as such. I look forward to meeting you, and of course your pet!
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: While I'm new to pet sitting, my love for animals made me start working on rover. I'm patient and attentive, l've cared for friends' pets, ensuring they feel safe and loved. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fully commit to pet care! I'm available for walks during the weekdays and can provide boarding and overnight care on weekends. I provide a welcoming and safe environment for pets in my home, ensuring that your pet feels safe and comfortable always and will always supervise playtime to ensure a safe and fun environment.

“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!!!”

“From the moment we met Kimberly our dog Hercules was a fan. He walked right up to her and was so excited and happy to be there. She sent us videos and pictures daily while we were away and Hercules always looked so happy and excited to be there. Kimberly made it easy for us to confidently leave him in her care. We'll definitely book Kimberly again.”
“Lillian took great care of our terrier mix, Martha, and made sure she got along with Lillian’s pups and another boarder. She sent several pics of Martha out and about while we were away. Lillian always responded quickly to our texts and left us feeling like Martha was being well cared for. We absolutely will consider using her services again next time we need to board Martha.”
“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!”
“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”
“My girls enjoyed their stay. They came home happy and ready to go again. I highly appreciate Dasia keeping up with my senior's eye drops to include logging when she received them.”
“I had to use Branden to watch my dog at the last minute and was honestly very nervous to leave her in the hands of someone I did not know. However, Branden went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable with her care and frequently sent me video and txt updates of how things were going. That made me feel so much more comfortable and allowed me to really enjoy the time away. I will definitely be using Branden 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!”
“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+++++”
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.
