Learn about the ins and outs of dog sitting in Washington DC and the life of a professional dog sitter.
Why hire an in-home dog sitter?
At DC Dog Sitting, we believe that each dog should be approached as an individual when taking into account their specific needs which is why we firmly advocate for in-home, one on one pet care.
100 (Canine) Clients and Counting
I am beyond thrilled to be able to say I have looked after over 100 dogs since I started this business. Whether it’s an appointment in Capitol Hill, Dupont Circle, NoMa or anywhere in between, it has been an absolute privilege and a pleasure getting to know the dogs and their human counterparts I see on a daily basis.

The Power of Instagram Marketing for a Small Business
Instagram… The first thing that comes to mind to most is the app that connects people through a personal level. Well what if you’re a business? In my experience little but consistent effort is key. Spending a few minutes to grab an Instagram handle for your business and creating a ‘front page’ for it is essential, especially if you are providing consumer services.
How I Volunteer With Dogs in Washington DC
I looked into volunteer opportunities involving rescue animals in the DC-Metro Area and found that most require volunteers to be over 18 years of age. I feel this is such a missed opportunity as many students adore and are passionate about animals and are eager to help. I am 16 years old and found the only volunteer opportunity that made sense and actively involved animals in the DC-area was through Lucky Dog Animal Rescue. Lucky Dog has the following ‘proper’ volunteer opportunities for ages 15+.
