About Kallie

10 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
I co-own an adorable 10 year old mutt with my mother. When I don't have her with me I long for a 4 (or 3 legged) friend to hang out with. I took care of a dog last year for 6 months. I have also taken care or several friends/coworkers dogs. I just took care of a 9 month old mini labor-doodle for 10 days over the holidays. I am a dog fanatic. Yes, I have been known to hang out at dog parks without a dog. I talk to most dogs that I see on the street or in my apartment building. I live close to the S St and Shaw Dog Parks so if your pup likes dog parks we have options! I also have lots of friends with dogs who like to go on doggy play dates! I am currently in between jobs so I either job hunt in my apartment or at a near by coffee shop for a few hours. I don't give my dog or any other dog human food, dog food only! I am also very firm when it comes to rules and known commands. Thats all I've got for now. Please reach out with any questions.

About Ellie

Hi! I am a dog lover living in the Logan Circle neighborhood. I am happy to sit for your dogs, cats, or fish in your home during the week and on weekends. I grew up with a lab when I was younger and my family was lucky enough to get a cockapoo when I was in high school. I loved growing up with dogs and was responsible for the dog when I lived at home. I graduated from GW in 2013 and have more than three years of political work experience. I am looking forward to meeting you and your pets!

About Eric

5 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
Near 14th & U. If you want your dog to get a lot of attention, enjoy plenty of walks and even get to check out the local dog park (with your permission), then you have come to the right spot!

I am a big dog lover who will care for your dog as if it they were my own! Trust me, Hank, my "child", goes everywhere with me. He is 5 years old and I have raised him since being 10 weeks old. My sister-in-law reminds me all the time that I take better care of Hank than she does of her own kids.

I provide a safe and dog friendly home for great social interaction and playtime.

I have lived in DC for over 20 years.

We live in a two level townhouse (with a medium size backyard) on the 1400 block of Swann St. We are 2 blocks away from the S Street Dog Park and a 1/2 block from 14th street and City Paws.

There is a lot of open space, toys and the joy of being permitted on all the furniture! We have fun! I strongly believe in the cliche, a tired dog is a happy dog!

We enjoy long walks and checking what is going on in the neighborhood (Meridian Hill Park, Dupont and Logan Circle).

If you would like references, please let me know! I have taken care of many furry friends and they are always excited to come back to visit and hang out.

About Caroline

10 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
**About me**
I'm a med student at Georgetown who misses her family's dog at home. I can't get my own puppy right now so love to spend time with others and get outside for long walks. I live in a Dupont apartment with another med student and I have lots of experience walking dogs and dog sitting. My boyfriend and I treat the dogs we watch like part of our own family.

**About my home/services**
I have an apartment in Dupont Circle can be home almost all of the time I'm not at the hospital for school. Usually home early on weekdays and am home on weekends. I can keep close supervision and can walk dogs around Dupont and bring them to the dog park here.

**About my neighborhood**
My neighborhood is safe but relatively busy. Its actually a great place for walks. I can also drive dogs over to a huge open park I know well in Glover Park, where I love letting the dogs run around and get out some energy.

**What to expect**
I love running, long walks, and just playing with dogs at home. I am very loving with dogs !

About Jasmine

15 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
I absolutely love dogs (I view them as family) and your furry friend will be well taken care of while staying with me! I've had dogs ranging from Papillon to Rottweiler in my life and have had experience training and taking care of them for the past 15 years.

I am also an approved foster with City Dogs Rescue in DC, and fostered a few times and attended dog training sessions through the organization.

I live in dog-friendly and cozy town home, with a small garden patch and plenty of neighborhood parks nearby for walks! In addition, my wonderful responsible roommate also love dogs, so your furry friend will have endless care and attention. But since it's a unit connected to other homes, we have found that dogs happiest here are those who are fully house trained and don't bark. I also can only watch 1 dog at a time, so your dog will get all of my attention.

Our home is clean with lounge areas for the dog. Food is never left out or accessible in the kitchen so your dog is safe, and dogs are welcome on the couches (if you allow that at home). Pups can sleep where they are comfortable, We will use your crate if your dog prefers it (I have experience crate training), as many do for sleeping or just relaxing. Plenty of places for walks and runs outdoors in our neighborhood (Shaw/Logan Circle), pet friendly neighborhood spots, and space to play and relax at home.

I work a standard 9am-5pm job in downtown DC, so pickup and drop-off times during the week have to be during the mornings and evenings. During weekdays, I will be available to give endless attention to your pup outside of working hours. During weekends, I will be at home to spoil your dog other than running a few errands (1-2 hour outings).

Look forward to welcoming your dog to our home.

*** Additional fees and rate info:

Please note, if you are unable to pick up your dog by 8:30 am (weekdays) or 10am (weekends) of the last day of the visit, you will be charged a $15 late pick-up rate. Pickups after 6pm will be charged $20.

Holiday weekends will have an additional charge of $10/day added to my standard rate.

Thanks so much to Jasmine for taking great care of my louise while I was away. She was reliable, communicative and extremely understanding. I was relieved to know that my pup was in such good hands! :)
I highly recommend Jasmine for anyone looking for a potential sitter. She did an outstanding job taking care of my 3 year old Golden and I know he'd love to have her back again. I received consistent updates throughout the day including photos of the one day stay. Booking her was a pleasure and pain free even over the Memorial Day weekend. I can't emphasize enough how well she cared for my dog. Can't wait to be a repeat client.

About John and Grace

9 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
I am a dog lover who can not have a dog in my current apartment. I am looking to fill this void by walking and house sitting dogs in the DC area. I have owned my own dog in the past and I am experienced taking care of dogs overnight when the owner is away. My days are pretty open so I am available at a last minute notice a well.

John was great! We have to Jack Russel terriors and one is very old and needs a lot of help and attention and John was very attentive to his needs. John often walked my 2 dogs seperatly so the younger one could go for a brisk walk and my older guy, who walks very slow, wasn't getting pulled by the other one and could take his time. He gave my old guy his meds and always let me know how he was doing. He also sent me great pics so I could see what they were up to. I absolutely will use John again and highly recommend him.

About Kit

Hi! I grew up with generations of labs , and have been wanting a dog with my whole heart. Unfortunately my boyfriend and I don't have enough space for one in the city, so instead I'm hoping to be able to take care of other dogs until we are able to get our own. I'm a nurse in my other free time, and am hoping to be able to care for not only people, but animals too.

About Emma

I am 19 and I have had a dog for most of my life and am really missing having the love a pet provides. I am a student at GW so I am free most nights to spend some time with your pet(s) and am great with pets that have issues such as separation anxiety or aggression towards other animals or people. Unfortunately because I am a student, I cannot allow animals into my dorm room but I am happy to travel to your homes if you're comfortable in order for me to be able to care for your pet(s) when life gets in the way. I am happy to accommodate any specific issues or concerns you may have and do have friends that could come and assist if you feel your pet(s) need more than one person. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about my schedule or experience.

About Stephanie

12 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
Your animals will be in a animal friendly environment and get endless love while in my care. I am a fun loving, active, and attentive young female with a passion for dogs. I look forward to taking care of and spending quality time with animals around the metropolitan area since I had to leave my puppies that i have owned for the past 12 years behind with my sister when I moved to DC to a spacious apartment in foggy bottom. Scratches, walks, treat time, and more are coming soon to a pet near you!
