“With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!”
“My dog Toro stayed with Andy for 10 days while we were on vacation in Europe. I was very nervous to leave Toro for such an extended period of time but Andy was absolutely amazing with him. Andy was responsive and sent many daily pictures of Toro. Toro ended up having a great time and we will definitely be rebooking with Andy the next time we need to head out of town!”
“Faustine was an amazing dog sitter and was super sweet, flexible with great communication skills. We super appreciate Faustine and we would 100% use her again!!!”
“Evan and Megan were great sitters! They communicated well the entire time we were gone and sent us pics to keep us up to date on how our puppy was doing. Highly recommended.”
“Walter came home very happy after several nights and was very well cared for — I could tell by his temperament when I picked him up, and how relaxed he was coming home. He is an older dog who gets anxious out of his routine, and Mike treated him very well.”
“Anne Marie took such great care of Danny, she was patient and kind to him as a senior dog and just loved on him! I will definitely be asking Anne Marie to care for him again when I need it.”
“Chad is absolutely fantastic! He looked after Havana for a whole 6 days and even sent me daily pictures. I will definitely be bringing Havana back to him.”
“Colleen took wonderful care of our cockapoo for 3 days. She sent photos several times and provided photos. She also was able to give some eyedrops several times per day that our dog required. My dog seemed content and well cared for. Thank you.”
“My Brutus had such a great time with Christian. This was the second time that she has kept him and this time for a week. This was my puppies first overnight stay with Christian and she made it effortless. She was very communicative sent pictures and videos and really took care of my Brutus for a majority of the pictures. He looked happy. 10 out of 10 recommend”
“Very great communication and sent a lot of pictures while I was away! Made my girls feel at home and the family was incredibly nice/hospitable. Did not worry at all leaving my girls in their care!”
“Mariah always comes back to us happier than when she left. Haydenn is a great communicator and gives frequent pupdates. More importantly, he has a way with dogs like no other. We are so grateful to have him in ours/Mariahs life!”
“Kerstyn was wonderful throughout the entire boarding process. She was so professional and responded to all of my texts promptly. My pup unfortunately was feeling a bit unwell during her stay, but Kerstyn was a pro at both managing my dog’s needs and putting me at ease. I would absolutely recommend booking with Kerstyn!”
“Diana was wonderful! We had a meet-n-greet prior to booking a stay. I brought my Bella to meet Diana’s dog, Charlie. They got along fine and Bella was surprisingly comfortable around him. I booked a one night stay but Diana also picked Bella up and dropped her off so this was the easiest boarding experience I’ve ever had. Diana also shared many photos through their time together and Bella found her lap to be a favorite spot, which was nice to see. Overall, I was thrilled and will be a repeat customer.”
“Alex and Daniel were absolutely incredible dog sitters. They were communicative, sending frequent photos and updates, and took extremely thoughtful and loving care of my dog, Pip. They really went above and beyond, brushing him, taking him on lots of walks, and clearly provided him with a warm, kind, and comfy home. We are so grateful to them for taking such good care of Pip, and can’t wait to book with them again for our next trip.”
“Christine took good care of our dog for week. We were nervous because this was his first time staying with other dogs longer than a day. He came home happy and exhausted after a week of play. We received photos and videos throughout the week and he was packed up, ready to go at pickup- we appreciated that after a long day of travel.”

“I am so grateful to have found Luisa! She is extremely caring, loving and professional. She always put the animal’s well being first and I feel so relieved to know she’s available to take care of my cat when I’m away. I’m moving to a different state soon and I wish I could take Luisa with me! If you’re looking for a sitter Luisa is an excellent option :)”
“We had issues with our doorman passing off our key and Evan was very patient and communicative throughout it all! Evan has been reliable every time we’ve used him and we will certainly continue to use him!”
“Ana was fantastic! I will absolutely use her again for my two feline furbabies. I know all cat owners say their cats are particular but mine definitely are and Ana followed all the instructions I gave her. Her photos and notes were so helpful while I was gone. My cats were clearly comfortable with her right away which made being away easier. Thanks so much, Ana!”
“I can’t recommend Summar enough! She took care of my cat while I was out of town, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. Not only was she proactive about cleaning and keeping everything tidy, but she also paid close attention to his medication instructions, which was a huge relief. Knowing that she’s trained in pet CPR gave me extra peace of mind, and it’s clear she’s genuinely passionate about animal care. She even sent multiple photos and updates, so I never had to worry about how he was doing. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat, and I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“Andre is a consummate professional. Went out of town for 4 days and he made sure to provide daily picture and text updates, once a day. He went above and beyond to make sure my cats were well taken care of. Look no further for a sitter!”
“Rachel was wonderful! She was friendly, warm, and caring and did a great job watching our two sweet kitties. Great communication and pics sent as well. She will be our go-to moving forward!”
“Sydney was great watching our cats while we were away! She was reliable and good at communicating, plus she took lots of cute photos! We’ll definitely use her again next time we go out of town.”
“Becca has consistently been an amazing pet sitter! I can always count on her to make sure my cat is OK while I’m away and her photos and report cards are always so detailed and the best!”
“Chiara is reliable and has been a fantastic help and support for us while we've been away. She is prompt at sending pictures and her communication is excellent, as she replies almost instantly to any message I have needed to send her. Our cat has been well looked after.”
“Salma was an absolute angel of a house sitter. She gave up lots of updates and photos of our cat, even starting little routines with her. She kept the house tidy and somehow my plants look even better than when I left them. Would have her back in a heartbeat.”
“Amber has been great each time she has cared for Nugget. She’s patient with Nugget’s mini attitude and has even been able to pet her which is rare for someone to do when I’m away. I appreciate the bond she’s established and how she keeps in contact with me. Amber will even do extra tasks like clean the litter area even though I forgot to ask that when we first established the details of care. Amber is and will continue to be my first call when I need someone to care for my fur baby.”
“Victoria was amazing!! She was very communicative with me regarding our girl who had a small cold and was even able to wipe her eye even though she’s very weary of people. She even went above and beyond by vacuuming up a little! I could not recommend Victoria enough. We’re definitely going to be using her as our sitter going forward!”

“Juliet was very accommodating to my work schedule. She kept me informed with pictures and how Remi was doing throughout the day. She is caring, kind and sweet and will make sure your pup is taken great care of.”
“Grette was super with our little pup for Doggy Day Care -- she knows just what your pup needs and she took our very active 6 month old pup for a long walk so he was really chill when he came home.”

About: I am a pet lover. I grew up in a home with many pets including dogs and cats and have always had a special connection to animals. I love going on long walks and heading to the dog park when the weather is nice. I am here to help you care for your pet the best way possible. I'll always listen to special instructions and will show your pet the love and attention as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and am able to do "drop-in visits" and "rover now" walks during most week days when many walkers are unavailable. I am in the office two days a week, Tuesdays and a flex day. I can't wait to meet your fur baby! **I cannot accept pets that get into plants as I have a few not pet safe plants at home** I work from home 3 days a week and am home most weekends! I too Iove middle of the day walks and all day hangs! I am in a pet friendly building that is super close to Rock Creek for longer walks. My home is child free, and smoke free. I do have a senior beagle mix I adopted from a family member who could not bring him with for an overseas move who is a full time pet at the home.
“Chang was wonderful in watching Mia, who immediately seemed at ease with her. Chang was able to get her to relax and eat some of her food and also treated Mia to a pup smoothie bowl that she enjoyed. We also appreciated Chang's prompt responses to our messages and all the pictures and updates she shared. We're glad we found Chang on short notice.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, from energetic younger dogs to elderly dogs who need extra patience and attention. I have cared for my own dog, which has taught me how important it is to be responsible, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I have also helped care for my neighbors’ dogs, including both senior dogs and younger dogs, by making sure they are fed, walked, comfortable, and given plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, and I always do my best to make pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but the rest of the week I am usually at home working or studying remotely. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I am also especially available on weekends, which is a great option for pet parents who need to board their dog at my apartment. I live in a pet-friendly one-bedroom apartment where pets can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I make sure to follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I also give pets plenty of attention, love, and a calm environment so they feel at home. My apartment is in a great area with plenty of parks and trails nearby, making it easy to take dogs on walks, get fresh air, and enjoy outdoor time. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while they are staying with me.
“I highly recommend Ayah! She is super communicative and cares so much about Louie. They went on long walks and played in the dog park. Ayah is very flexible with drop off and pick up times, and kept me updated throughout the day on how Louie was doing. Louie can’t wait to go back soon!”
“My maltipoo had a great time with Asma! Asma quickly helped him feel situated in a new environment, and she was caring, fun, and patient with him (she also shared some new treats for him which he loved). Asma’s also very responsive and sent nice updates of their day together. Looking forward to the next time!”
“Caleb was absolutely fantastic with my pup Avi, who, at 15, is very sweet but can be a bit stubborn. But he took to Caleb immediately, following behind him with his tail a-wagging! In addition to being so great with my dog, Caleb was incredibly responsive, polite, and had great energy.”
“Emily is such a great sitter she is accomidating and understadning. Winston loves going there and once he realizes where he is doing he tries pulling me to her building. Safe to say he likes his day care time with Emily”
About: I have loved animals all my life and grew up surrounded by cats, so caring for pets comes naturally to me. I have a calm and positive energy that helps me connect with animals, and I enjoy playing with them as much as keeping them safe and comfortable. I’m patient, caring, and responsible, always paying attention to each pet’s unique needs. In my free time, I enjoy reading, which also means I’m happy to spend quiet moments with pets who like calm company. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to manage my time easily and dedicate attention to pet care. This way, I can adapt my routine around the pets’ needs, whether it’s playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I have experience caring for dogs in the home of friends and family, and I naturally connect with animals. I pay close attention to their needs, whether they want affection, playtime, or simply some space to relax. I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable, keeping their routines consistent and giving them plenty of love and care.

“Genevieve is amazing with our dog Louis!! She is super friendly, responsive, and always on time, and she provides helpful details in her reports on every walk. Our dog is BEYOND excited to see her every time she comes to pick him up, which is always the best sign. We highly recommend Genevieve to anyone looking for a dog walker in the area.”

About: I’ve always loved dogs and grew up with a Rottweiler, so I’m comfortable with larger breeds and have plenty of experience caring for them. Many of my friends have big dogs, and I often enjoy taking them out for walks. During the warmer months, I can even take your pup on a short run to burn off some extra energy! With prior military service, I bring a high level of responsibility, reliability, and dedication to ensuring your dog gets the best care and attention during our time together. I can be free in the evenings starting at 6 pm on weekdays, or Wednesday mornings before 10:30am. My weekends are free and I can easily fit in a walk while you’re out living your best life. I give all animals lots of love, attention, and patience! I communicate well, and would love to share updates on how your dog is enjoying their walk, with a quick pic or two to capture the moment.
“DJ connected with Penelope right away. I was relieved that I found her as she took great care of her and was flexible with my awkward schedule. I would highly recommend her and use her again.”
“Elliot just started walking Buddy and I can’t say enough nice things. Elliot is very responsible, shares information about their time together and Buddy liked Elliot from the jump!”
About: Growing up I’ve always had animal companions in my family’s house. My family has had generations of dogs raised into senior ages full of health. I currently have my buddy Timmy who’s been with me since I was 9, he’s a 14 year old German Shepard, Corgi mix. I’ve been responsible for his senior care for the last 5 years and have learned so much. I’m excited to be a part of your companions life and look forward to working with you! I am currently a full time student at an online university. My schedule is very flexible, so I am certain I can work with you to find consistent times to meet your pets needs. I believe that keeping a pet on a leash while on walks is the best way to protect them. I will ensure that your pet enjoys their time outdoors while being extra safe. I am a vigilant person as well, so I’ll always be on the look out for danger 🫡🫡

“Justin was wonderful! He sent check-in each time he walked and fed our dog Juni, and he clearly enjoyed spending time with her. We were happy to know he’s walked a few of our neighbors’ dogs too, so he was very comfortable with the neighborhood. I will definitely be hiring him again!”

“First walk with our boy Ziggy and she was great. On time, took him out to the dog park, he came back tired. All you can ask for! Super nice and asked all the right questions. We felt very comfortable with her.”
“Meg is the best dog walker I’ve ever had. She provides excellent care, truly loves animals, is very professional, and writes very detailed notes. She anticipates my dogs needs and is always prepared to go above and beyond- like putting her cooling vest on, bringing her water bottle, and rewarding good behavior on walks. I am so sad to no longer have Meg as a walker as I am moving, she will be missed!!!”

“Chiara was great with my puppy. She responded to a somewhat last minute request and came for a meet and greet, which went quite well. She showed up on time for all of our appointments, and the puppy seemed very satisfied when I saw her next! Would definitely hire her again.”

“Katherin was AMAZING with Wrigley, so thoughtful and attentive. We received very thorough updates and she was quick so ask any questions she had. We had a bit of a snafu with her food and Katherin went above and beyond to make sure she had the right stuff to get through her stay. She was also very flexible with pick up and drop off which made everything with Wrigley’s stay super easy! Will definitely be re-booking for any future Wrigley needs!”
