From the Ground Up

DC Dog Sitter was founded as a one-person show in 2009. Initially, getting into the pet industry on the side was to help dear friends. However, the conversation began to quickly change as friends commented over and over, “What are you doing that is different?” and “My dog is happier and less anxious and better behaved” were among many of the more frequent comments. In the midst of these chats, there was a realization and desire to help elevate care for our furry companions on a larger scale. And thus, a business was born.

DC Dog Sitter has been truly built from the ground up - one member at a time, one day at a time. There are three defining goals to DC Dog Sitter - 1) to provide the very best pet care and empower pet owners with resources to promote animal longevity, 2) to enable team members to be paid a living wage in the pet industry and assist with financial goal planning to equip others to live successfully, and 3) to give back with a minimum of 10% of all proceeds every year going towards assisting and helping pets live their best life. We are beyond grateful to our many members and our team - the majority of whom are full-time team members and derive their full-time income from caring for our many furry companions.
