About: I love all kind of animals. I own two dogs and they are my family and everything. As a dog owner I know how important and how hard to find dog sitters that you can trust and depend on. I have my own car and I am pretty flexible during the day. I can take care of your pet needs including walks, going to dog park, trip to pet store, playtime. I am 35 years old, I have been in DC area over 8 years. I know the DC and Arlington area well. I have full time job but I mostly work nights. I am free during the day besides spending time with my furry babies. They love going to dog parks and walking in the neighborhood.
“Donna was wonderful, as always! She's warm, caring, and great with our dog. We also appreciated her clear communication and the regular updates she sent about how our dog was doing!”
About: I live in the city and work for myself, so my hours are flexible! I absolutely love training dogs and puppies, as well as taking care of each animal as if it was my own! I fostered a few puppies, including very aggressive ones, and then happened to adopt the last one I fostered- my pup, Rosie! Rosie doesn’t live with me on the days I have available for pet sitting. I’m very good with reactive and anxious dogs as those are mainly the ones I’ve fostered. Also, I’m confident in high stress scenarios, including reactivity, health issue scares, or sudden crisis situations. I work from home as a business owner, managing my own hours. It’s easy for me to do a last-minute bookings or plan in advance. I treat all animals as if they’re my own, meaning, I feed and walk them at their proper hours, consider their feelings, and respect the wishes of their owners!
About: I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pup like family while you're away. I work from home full-time, so your dog will always have company and lots of cuddles throughout the day. - I only host one client at a time, so you dont have to worry about unfamiliar dogs during their stay. -Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or a slower-paced routine, I’m happy to match their needs. -I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I also have experience with dogs with separation anxiety and food or environmental allergies. 📷 You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. **I live in an apartment building, so I can't safely accommodate large dogs that are reactive to people or other dogs, since it's not possible to completely avoid encounters in shared spaces.** I can accommodate regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins, and I’m able to adjust my routine to meet your dog’s needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I follow all care instructions, use leashes on walks, and provide a calm, secure environment with regular updates.
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.
“Troy took wonderful care of Eevee and provided updates. She got plenty of cuddles and good walks while in his care. My little bub has separation anxiety so it was great to have someone with her during the day. I will absolutely book with him again if we are in the area!”
“I love dropping Kodak off at Iuliia's for daycare! She is great with all the dogs and he comes home so tired from a long day of play! She is so flexible and communicates with photos of playtime throughout the day.”
“Tushar and his wife were very responsible, flexible and reliable. They really took a good care of Snape. We were totally dependent on them as it was a new place for us and Snape too. Although it was holidays, but they accepted the request when it was a last minute thing. Most importantly they made sure we enjoy D.C. and comforted Snape every way possible with Winston and their cat. I would highly recommend them to other pet owners. And lastly a big THANK YOU ❤️🐾”
“Jessica has watched and boarded my dog Bodhi for me many times. She has been absolutely wonderful with Bodhi, and you can tell she loves him like he’s part of her family. Bodhi and her dog Poppy get along wonderfully , and have become little besties. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly very experienced with dogs. I really appreciate that she goes the extra mile by sending me pictures, videos and updates when she is in his care. It is obvious that Jessica genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. Bodhi is always happy and well cared for, and I feel completely comfortable knowing he’s in good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate sitter or dog walker!”
About: I have raised and trained two amazing dogs and I would be happy to make pet care simpler for you. Open communication is a baseline. My schedule changes day to day, but typically allows for long breaks before and after clients where I can stop in and see our furry friends. I am free most weekends. I care for pets according to the specifications of the owner. I do my absolute best to honor all requests even if they are unusual.
About: Animal lover without one of my own right now! I have grown up with animals my whole life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, and bunnies. I live an active lifestyle and am looking to get out of my home office more. I work from home and have a flexible schedule throughout the day to help you out! Typically I am free before 9:30, between 12:30-1:30, and after 5. I tend to stick around town on the weekends and am flexible. I will treat your pet like it was my own. I am a very responsible caretaker and will follow whatever instructions you give. I am comfortable with many personalities of animals.

“Kozue is a wonderful kind walker to our dog Theo. She is always prompt, reliable and also very flexible in case of emergencies. She also is an amazing dog photographer! I save all her photos.”
“Julia walked my two dogs all summer while I was working. From the beginning, Julia took the time to make sure she understood my (very detailed!) preferences, always made sure she got things right, and was accommodating for schedule changes and when we moved. Julia was such a big help and I could entrust her with walking my two fur-babies. She is great!”
“Patharapa was great! We just got to the area and are staying in a hotel. Our dogs were safe and we got great pictures as well as updates. We are definitely booking with her again.”

“Ashley has been walking my dog for a few months and she is amazing!! She’s super quick to respond to requests and always sends pics from walks. My dog loves her too - would highly recommend her services!”
“Charlie’s already been my go to sitter for boarding, but this has been our first time doing walks while I was out for the day. He’s proven again why he’s my first choice for my pets! Took adorable pictures of my dog on his walk, cleaned up his accident in my apartment, and put on bluey to calm him while I was away. Thanks for all you do, Charlie!”
About: Having grown up with dogs of all ages, from high energy puppies to senior dogs requiring patient care, dog behavior and body language are second nature to me. I know cues to keep them safe on the leash, and the provide structured, attentive care they get at home. When your dog is with me, you’re getting someone who truly cares and understand them, not just someone tracking steps I currently work from home and am a very active person. I am available most days of the week during the day and some evenings. My schedule is flexible so I can easily accommodate your needs! I live in a pet free home and tailor to making sure your dog feels comfortable in any environment whether it’s my home or yours!
“Josephine is amazing walking our two doggies! They are a little tricky to deal with and she always takes the best care of them! One of our dog’s used to bark so much at her and now she has really calmed down because Josephine talks to her and pets her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker! :)”
About: Hi! I’m a big-time animal lover who’s been dog walking and pet sitting since 2011. I’ve had the chance to care for all kinds of pets: big, small, fluffy, scaly, and everything in between! I truly treat every animal like my own and would be so excited to meet your furry (or not-so-furry) family members! I’m fully remote, so I have a lot of flexibility! I can work from wherever and have a flexible schedule I can move around to accommodate your needs. I live in an apartment but it is on the lobby floor so no need to worry about elevators or stairs. I have no pets as well.
“Carolina has been great. She came out to meet our dog, Max, and was not at all put off by his size (95 pounds) or energy (overly enthusiastic), which can be intimidating. She keeps us posted on all of his walks, and (most importantly) Max seems very happy with the arrangement.”
About: Regardless of the size, breed, or age of your pet, I can promise we will be best friends by the end of our visit! I have taken care of just about every kind of dog, from corgi puppies to 10 year old boxer-pit bull mixes. I grew up with two yellow labs and know how to treat your four legged friend like an extension of my own family. Plus, I’ll send you lots of pictures! I work remote 3/5 days of the week and when I do have to be in the office, my office is a fifteen minute walk from my home. This leaves me with plenty of time to go for walks and check in on your pet as needed! I am more than happy to take your pet to vet appointments, parks, or on drives to larger outdoor walking spaces! I have a baby bunny, so I do try to avoid hosting pets in my apartment (excluding extenuating circumstances).
“Samantha was a great dog walker while I was away for a work trip. As a fellow frenchie mama, I knew I could trust my boys with her, even with their quirks. She sent pics and hung out with them after the walk. We would highly recommend her!”
