Reimagining the Dog Sitting Industry
At DC Dog Sitting, a forward thinking Washington DC dog sitting and dog walking business, we focus and pride ourselves in offering the perfect balance of automation and convenience coupled with diligent and friendly customer service. In the past, the industry has offered tired, bare minimum services with little thought and attention to detail, leaving dog owners frustrated to say the least. I can speak from my own experience as a dog owner in Washington DC who needs dog sitters and walkers from time to time that the whole experience is a frustrating and inconsistent one. That’s the antithesis of what DC Dog Sitting stands for.
Don’t get me wrong, I have had some excellent experiences with Rover sitters and other dog care providers; however there was never consistency across sitters. Some wanted my dog to board in their home; some wanted to bring their dog to mine; some attempted to get me to pay them under the radar instead of through Rover. While I can appreciate the need to make money and that Rover, Wag and similar apps cut the profit margins for sitters razor thin due to their selling fees, it is still difficult to entrust the care of your precious dog in the hands of someone who is not associated with an organization. We keep all of the benefits that dog sitting apps offer, such as automated appointment bookings, and add a personal, thoughtful touch.
After a long trip, the last thing you want to do is come home and immediately have a whole long to-do list to complete. What some sitters think of as unnecessary, we think of as common courtesy. Simple gestures such as washing the sheets used after an overnight dog sitting appointment and towels used and straightening up the cushions on the couch go a long way. You also likely won’t want to be chased down for payment as you’re settling in. That is why we will always send an easy-to-pay invoice that can be paid on one’s own time after leaving, making the owner’s arrival experience seamless and without hassle.
DC Dog Sitting is made for dog owners by a dog owner. We encompass client needs and expectations and then exceed them. To learn more about our service offerings, or some of our top rated services such as our Dog Sitting, Drop-in Visits or Dog Walking, please feel free to contact us.
