“Christine was very kind and Jolene seemed happy to be there! Her kids are very kind and clearly know how to interact with dogs, even more anxious ones. I would definitely board Jolene with Christine again in the future.”

“Laurie and Rich were so kind and caring for our little Frodo. From their photos, he was clearly comfortable in their home and yard. They kept us updated with his adjustment as it was his first time with them. When they expressed concern when he did not eat his dinner, we assured them that he does skip meals. We were lucky to find them available for our mini vacation. Thank you, Laurie and Richard”
“Isai was great to work with for my dog. Just a short stay this time but he was easy to coordinate drop off and having a friend pick Watson up at the end. I felt that Watson was in good hands.”
“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!”

“Andy was so accommodating and kind when we had a surprise emergency. We felt happy and at peace knowing Spencer was in good hands. It seems like Spencer got a lot of love and care at Andy’s. Highly recommend!!”
“Matthew treated our pups like they were his own. They were super happy and very well taken care of. Fantastic communication. Easy going and easy to work with. My pups already want to go back. Thanks for the fantastic experience!”
“Supon is always great. He regularly sent pictures of our dog, Teddy playing, napping, eating, walking outside, so we did not need to feel sorry for Teddy or preoccupied. We have been using his service since 2016. Always very responsive and caring. Thank you so much!”
“Rodrigo did a great job taking care of my sweet Frenchie, Bella. He sent me daily pictures and made sure to listen carefully to my care instructions. His own dog, Luna, was a great playmate to Bella and she came home happy and exhausted. I'd definitely use Rodrigo again!”

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!”
“Nani made us and Samosa feel so comfortable. Her communication was also excellent throughout our dog's stay. We are looking forward to booking stays with her in the future!”

“Taler was absolutely fantastic at warming up to and taking great care of my Kitty while away on vacation! Gave great peace of mind with sweet pictures sent in to back it all up. Highly recommend to pet your pet under her care.”
About: I'm a full-time remote worker based in DC, which means I'm home on my laptop nearly every day — no rushed visits, no juggling a 9-to-5 around your pet's schedule. Whether it's a quick check-in or staying overnight while you're away, your pet gets consistent company and attention throughout the day, not just a few minutes here and there. I offer house sitting and pet sitting (drop-in visits), and I'm happy to do a free Meet & Greet before booking so we can make sure it's a good fit. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend!
“Erin was extremely communicative, which came in handy because we had to book last minute. She followed all of the instructions and my boys were very happy when we got home. Would definitely book again!”

“Lauren was great with my cat while I was out of the country for a week! Communication was great and she left the place super neat and tidy. She even watered a few plants. I never had to worry :) Would definitely book again!”
“Charlie again dropped in on my cat at the same time as boarding my dog and was a lifesaver! I have a very difficult cat and he always approaches the situation with compassion, humor, and even some creative thinking 😁 it’s really hard to find a sitter like this for Scotty and we’re lucky to have him.”
“Sarah was absolutely wonderful with our cat. She is reliable, dependable, and clearly has a natural way with animals—our cat connected with her right away. She kept us very well informed, sending thoughtful, detailed updates and a photo so we knew exactly how our cat was doing. She fed her, played with her, and made sure everything was clean and tidy. She was also always very responsive. We felt completely comfortable knowing our cat was being so well cared for. We would happily book Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter.”
“Hillary was very communicative and responsible when watching my cat over the weekend! She took the time to play with her and make her comfortable in addition to sending me some great pictures!”
“Tiffanie did a great job watching our cats, in particular she was able to manage giving our diabetic cat his twice daily injections. By the end of her time looking after them they were feeling comfortable enough to sit with her!”
“Julia was so great! She sent really nice updates with lots of pictures while I was away. My cats seemed very happy when I returned home :) I would definitely recommend her!”
“Jane was a very attentive cat sitter. She followed all of the cat care instructions. My cat loved her right away. I wish to have her watch my cat again in the future.”
“Julia was communicative and very attentive to Claire’s needs! After I came back from my trip, I could tell that Claire was happy and healthy and got plenty of playtime”
“Samantha was wonderful! She took great care of our cats while we were away and took so many photos so that we were rest assured. We could tell they trusted her. She also saved us in multiple situations, from resuscitating our plants to handling a door lock problem while we were away.”
“We can’t thank Daniel enough to look after Millie and she really enjoyed playing with him. He was super responsive and accommodated to our needs. We’d definitely ask Daniel to care for our Millie again!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - North Rosslyn
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I’m a caring and responsible pet owner with over 2 years of hands-on experience taking care of my own cats every day. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routines, providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes, giving plenty of playtime, and paying close attention to their behavior and health. I have also helped friends care for their pets while they were away. I know that every pet has a different personality, so I’m patient with shy or anxious animals and happy to give energetic pets the attention and exercise they need. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available every day of the week, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I can provide pet care at any time of the day and accommodate different schedules, whether you need morning, afternoon, evening, or overnight care. I’ll do my best to work around your pet’s routine and your schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise routines, and any special requirements. I take time to build trust with every pet and always provide photo and message updates so you know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.
“Sara was flexible in making arrangements for us to drop off and pick-up Charlie, and was diligent in sending photos of her stay throughout the day. This was the first time that we had used a sitter for Charlie, and we found the experience to be a good one. We plan on using Sara's services again in the future,”
“Haley was amazing with our little puppy!!! We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to watch him, she had so many updates throughout the day! We couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Matthew was great watching my pup Willa for a last minute doggy day care! He was kind and welcoming during the meet and greet and during her stay, and sent pictures throughout the day to keep me updated. Willa snuggled right up to them for some naps, which is always a sign she feels comfortable, safe, and happy. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”
About: There are many amazing dog sitters around so I won't try to set myself apart. I will say I've been taking care of dogs all of my life. I'm deeply empathetic, patient, responsible, respectful and will treat your furry friends like they are part of my family. I see it as an honor to spend time with them as they bring immense joy to my life, and I hope to impart a bit of joy to their lives too. I am self employed from home and with it comes a great deal of flexibility. Even if my posted hours do not align with your schedule, please bring to my attention as I'm sure we can make arrangements. I defer to the owner so that I can better understand expectations and dog tendencies. My approach is to take things very slow and cautiously as well being and safety are top priorities.
“Lauren was great! She was flexible with my last minute changes, very communicative, sent photos and updates. Lulu gives her 5 paws! We are booking with Lauren again!”
“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”
“Vanessa is great to work with! She’s super prompt and friendly. She was amazing to our puppy Remi. She had dog toys for a Remi to play with and did a great job of sending us photos / updates throughout the day!”
About: I’m a proud dog dad to Rambo, my Golden Retriever, so caring for dogs is already a big part of my everyday life. Raising him has given me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic training, leash manners, and all the attention and care that comes with being a dog owner. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and behaviors, including dogs that can be reactive in certain situations. This has taught me to be patient, pay close attention to body language, stay aware of my surroundings on walks, and adapt my approach to each dog’s individual needs. I understand that every dog is different. Some love long walks and constant playtime, while others prefer their space and a calmer environment. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, preferences, and any specific instructions you provide. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. I’ll treat your dog the same way I’d want someone to treat Rambo—with patience, attention, care, and plenty of love. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine with Rambo, my Golden Retriever. My days already include walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of time dedicated to him, so caring for another pet fits naturally into my schedule. I’m also flexible and can plan around your pet’s routine and needs. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and the owner’s instructions, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, or just keeping them company. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. In my home, pets get plenty of attention, walks, and playtime, and I always make sure they’re introduced safely and comfortably to Rambo.
“Sunny is very caring and took great care of my dog. she sent plenty of detailed updates and photos throughout the day without me having to ask! I will definitely book with her again”
About: I have two baby Cavaliers that I love with all my heart. ❤️ Love giving them attention, cuddles, walks and playtime. I will treat your dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, happy and very loved while you’re away. My schedule is pretty flexible, I work from home and can easily make time for walks, playtime, cuddles and lots of attention throughout the day. I live in a house with plenty of space and a fenced-in backyard where they can safely run around and play. I can also crate your dog if needed or if that’s part of their normal routine. I’m also a little bit of a helicopter dog mom 😂 so I’m always keeping an eye on them and making sure they’re safe. I’ll treat your pup like one of my own and follow any instructions you might have
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 20 years- I am great with all breeds and have a knack for training puppies (and older dogs too!) I am working from home and live right along a beautiful pet friendly park! I go on walks and runs throughout the day so love taking pups out with me! I ensure dogs are well taken care of and have experience administering different medications to dogs (including allergy injections) and following dietary restrictions or other needs. I show a lot of love and affection to pups and will keep them occupied and hopefully burn some of their energy playing and going on walks/runs!
“My doggie had a wonderful time with Asma and her pooch Mica! She was super considerate of his idiosyncrasies, and planned out a wonderful, well balanced, day care day for him.”
About: I’ve cared for pets ever since I was a child. Most recently, I cared for a hound dog for 7 years and currently going on 4 years caring for a cat. I trained my dog who had no exposure to cats prior to me adopting one. They ended up living harmonious together. I go above and beyond, even finding joint exercises and massages for a senior dog I had as he was aging. I see pets as family, especially having no children, so I’d love to make myself available for those in need of caretaking because I have the capacity. I’m currently flexible when it comes to pet care as I am self employed working from home. I can easily adjust to the owners pet schedule because of the flexibility of my daily and weekly routine. There are many dog parks, trails, and walkable areas where I live in the DuPont neighborhood within the DC metro area. Depending on what your pet is used to, luckily there are many amenities within proximity that may fit their typical routine and lifestyle.
“Iuliia is amazing! Maverick loves going to her house to play with all the great pups -- the outdoor space is a great place to get out all of his puppy energy and Iuliia is always so good about sending pictures or videos during the day.”
“Mac is one of Peanut’s favorite people! Peanut loves her visits, and we love knowing Peanut is happy and safe. Mac communicates well leading up to Peanut’s visits and during. Highly recommend!”
“Sarachai takes wonderful care of my Monti (see cute goldendoodle pic!). My dog cries with happiness as we drive up to his house and pulls me to the front door. The family is great about sending pics and letting me know how my dog is doing during the day. I am extremely comfortable with letting Monti stay. I'll continue to be a repeat customer.”
About: I’ve always had pets growing up with my family in El Salvador, so taking care of dogs has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Back home, I have two Schnauzers who are my favorite little partners ever. I’ve had plenty of experience feeding them, walking them, playing with them, and making sure they are comfortable and well cared for. Even though they are currently in El Salvador with my family, being around dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I would care for your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m currently a student at GWU, and I’m usually only away from home for about four hours a day, so I have lots of time to give your pup attention and keep them company. My roommate is also around often, and we both absolutely love dogs, so your pup will get plenty of cuddles, playtime, walks, and love while staying with us I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I’m very attentive and will always make sure they have a clean, calm, and caring environment.

“Lauren is amazing! Super communicative, clearly a dog lover, and great at her job. Charlie loves her and we’ll definitely be relying on her in the future!”
About: I've owned a dog since Summer 2022 and have previously dog sat for friends and family. I love animals and will do whatever is necessary to provide them the care they need. I currently work full-time remote and have the flexibility to get check on your pets throughout the day. I don't travel too much so I am consistently in town and available. I am calm and approachable and don't mind dealing with high energy pets. Both of my dogs have been very high energy and needed lots of attention so I am used to being very engaged
About: I have loved dogs since I could remember. I’ve had pups of my own and currently have a small Yorkie who I adore, but grew up with a German shepherd who was the best. I’m a nurse and am looking to maximize my puppy time on my time off! I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I’m more than happy to administer medication if needed. Whatever you need, I’m here for you! I’m happy to do drop ins, walks, feeding, whatever you need! I only work 3 days per week and have a lot of flexibility for morning and mid day walks. I live in a pet friendly building with a dog run. I’m happy to crate your pups if that is how they feel safest. I have one 7 year old Yorkie.
“Charlie is great! Takes my nutty Weimaraner on long, vigorous walks while treating my other dog, a sensitive old mutt, with care and tenderness. Charlie is also fun and personable. Highly recommend.”
“Hannah was great getting Logan moving in the middle of the day while I was at work. She's super responsive and was a huge help to me in my first week back in the office.”
About: I have a cat back home who is 8 years old, so I understand daily care, patience, and responsibility. I also volunteered at a cat café and an animal shelter for three years, where I helped with feeding, cleaning, socializing cats, and basic care. I’m calm, attentive, and always focused on pets’ comfort and safety.^^ I’m currently a graduate student so I can give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs, especially for feeding times and check-ins. I always prioritize pets’ safety and comfort. I carefully follow owners’ instructions for feeding, routines, and medication if needed. I keep the environment clean, calm, and secure, and I closely monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health. I treat every pet with patience, care, and respect, as if they were my own.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs all my life but it wasn’t until a few years ago that I started really building a consistent clientele. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to house-sit for them and take care of their furry babies and give them pure and genuine love and care. It’s truly the highlight of my day to see and interact with dogs. I’ve even travelled out of state (I’m from the US) to take care of two dogs who I adore like they are my own. I have watched 1-3 dogs at a time and love every minute of it! I work in an office during the day, but once I’m home, I’m ready to give your pet my full attention! When I’m pet sitting, your fur baby becomes my number one priority when I’m off work. I love spending that time giving them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and companionship. I’m intentional about making sure they get quality time with me rather than feeling like they’re just being checked on. In the pet owners home, I will make sure to follow all requests on their personal preferences for dog care inside the home. This will also carry over for dog walks and any other services.
“An absolute dog whisperer! Julia has been amazing with our dog Banx who was from a rescue and very anxious with strangers. He warmed up to her immediately and is so excited to see her every morning! We are thrilled to be working with her!”
“Noah has been great with our dog Toph, who can be a handful. He’s very responsive and follows our detailed instructions well. We are thankful to have his help.”
“Megan was great! She did a meet and greet and was very patient in learning all of my dog’s special care needs (he is a COVID pup who is not used to being home alone all day now that I’m back in office full time). Bailey loved her and she took all of my instructions about how to get him to warm up to her/trust her as a new person entering his space. Highly recommend!”
“Charlie was enthusiastic, accommodating and very good with our dogs! The dogs seeing Charlie was the highlight of their day. 3 dogs is a big ask of anyone but she was able to get comfortable and did really well walking and letting them potty. Highly recommend!”

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!”
“Our dog loves Ewelina more than anyone, enough us I think! 😂 She is truly fantastic and we always check with her first when we need someone to watch our needy boy for us. Can’t recommend her highly enough!”

“Maryjo and Jon took great care of Luna. They were very responsive and sent lots of pictures, will definitely have Luna stay with them for another vacation soon!”
“Christian had great communication and was very prompt in responses and updates. My dog stayed with her for a few days and seemed like she had a good time. It was my first time boarding her at someone else’s house— would recommend Christian!”
“Michael did a great job with my little rescue Yorkie, Gracie. He sent pictures and updates on how she was doing and was very communicative throughout the process. Gracie is a velcro dog who is very shy and anxious around new people and dogs. She seemed to acclimate to Michael and his daughter quickly which I could tell in the pictures. She had been very content and happy once since I picked her up. Will definitely be boarding Gracie with him again in the future.”
“Mallory and Argos are the best sitter and friend for our Rockyboy, she updated pictures and vdo of him everyday , we’ll definitely take Rocky back again :)”
“Ruth is amazing and has a great way with dogs (and people!). Her communication was excellent and she cared for my pup so well. I will 100% book with Ruth again. Love her!”
“Caleb was fantastic—friendly and communicative. Lisboa had a wonderful time staying with him, and having another friendly dog around for her to play with was an absolute bonus for keeping her socialized and active. She came home happy and well-cared for. I would definitely trust Caleb to watch Lisboa again!”
“Nico was great! He kept me updated about Maggie and I could tell from pictures she was having a great time! He was professional, friendly, responsive, and flexible. I'm already planning on re-booking in the future!”
“I genuinely cannot recommend McKinley enough! She is the sweetest, kindest, and most thoughtful sitter I could have ever asked for. From the moment I dropped Hamilton off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such amazing hands. She sent me daily photos and checked in throughout the day with updates on everything he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’ve honestly never seen Hamilton happier. He looked so comfortable, loved, and genuinely excited to be there, I think he was actually a little sad to leave, lol. It was so obvious that McKinley treated him like he was her own, and that meant the world to me. If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your pet, keep you updated, and go above and beyond, McKinley is the person to book. I would trust her with Hamilton again in a heartbeat and will absolutely be using her in the future. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone looking for the best possible care for their pet!”
“Krista and Kira are WONDERFUL! Clearly great dog lovers and were so sweet with our senior tripod. He was clearly so happy and relaxed with them and that made being away stress free! Thank you SO MUCH!”
