“Julianne did a great job of following instructions for my cats. They are a bit high maintenance due to food issues. They both came out and ate for her, which is total five stars 🌟.”
“Thank you very much, Samantha, for being such a good caregiver to Carolina. You’ve always been able to track her down in her various hiding places and give her reassurance. Thanks for all you have done!”
“Jeana could not have been a better sitter for our cats! She was attentive, kind, thorough, and went above and beyond! She sent us the most incredible photos every time she visited them and gave us a detailed description of how they were doing. We didn’t worry once about them knowing they were in Jeana’s care. Thank you, Jeana!!!!!!”
“I can’t thank you enough Rachel for your time, patience and concern for Gracie. She is a skittish little girl but you won her over! Let me know if you are interested in doing drop in visits in the future!”
“Cera’s taken care of my dog for a while now but this was her first time taking care of my kitty, and my usually skeptical cat warmed right up to Cera 🫶🏻”
“Kayly saved us in a hitch despite her busy schedule. We can't thank her enough and will continue to ask her to care for our now grown kitten!”
“Had a quick meet and greet prior to visit. No issues. Our puppy was well taken care of and she locked up the house properly. Will be using again :)”
“Bailey absolutely loves Adina! He took to her instantly and was so exited to see her when she came over. She kept me updated about the whole visit and gave our little pup lots of attention ☺️ I felt so happy knowing how well she was taking care of him.”
“Aura is the best, she takes such good care of our pups and they love having her come walk them. Aura is communicative and we will absolutely continue to book her anytime we need the extra help.”
About: I’ve had dogs, cats, & reptiles since I was born! I started pet care a couple years ago and strive to be a great sitter for your animals! I am currently a full time receptionist at a plastic surgeons office in DC. I am available weeknights for drop-ins and walks, and most weekends for overnight stays! I’m all about gaining trust from your pets so they can feel comfortable in their own space and under my care :) I work easily with routines, rules, and specific instructions!
“Erin did an awesome job with our cat Mipha! She communicated clearly with me and provided great updates and photos. Mipha was very happy when we got back and we look forward to working with Erin again in the future.”
“THE best. In every way.”
“Brian was very quick in replying and helpful in taking care of Orion. He even helped cleaning up a messy situation. Based off his photos, Orion had a great time playing in the grass with him! I definitely recommend Brian for your pet.”
About: I've had dogs just about my entire life (since I was 2), including a variety of breeds, sizes and personalities. I've handled dogs who may try to escape, dogs who eat everything in sight — and better behaved ones, too. :) I also personally have an elderly cat and two Guinea pigs in addition to my own dog (a "shelter special" pit mix). I've also pet sit for fish and rabbits before. I have a dog, cat and two Guinea pigs and home who need to be cared for at least twice per day, so animal care is part of my normal routine. I'm happy to add your pet to the mix as needed. My schedule can be pretty flexible. I've had a dog run away (from a pet sitter, ironically, when I was on the West Coast). It was a nightmare, and I don't want anyone to ever go through that. (Our dog was found, safe, after 9 days on the run.). Because I know exactly how awful that is, I'm extra super careful with doors, leashes, cars, collars, etc.
“Taylor is fantastic! Taylor has been doing drop ins for my dogs and the pups have really enjoyed having Taylor come over and spend time with them! So grateful!”
“Our pups love Andreas. He’s kind, communicative and reliable and a huge animal lover, we highly recommend working with him!”
“Lynn was such a wonderful sitter for Morty! She consistently communicated with me throughout the day and sent photos with updates on how he was doing. I would highly recommend her!”
“Our doggies loved Avonelle! Definitely calling her back for next time.”
About: I grew up with a yellow lab and a pomeranian for most of my childhood and teens, and have been taking care of a yorkie for about 5 years so good with big and small pups. I am currently in school Monday-Thursday so that leaves me all weekend to take care of your furry friend! I can do drop in visits and walks! I will be sure to keep you updated with all of the details about your furry friends day out and take plenty of pictures too!
“Anna has looked after our puppy for a few weeks and has been great! She always shows up on time, is very communicative, and stays the full hour with him! Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”

Julianne did a great job of following instructions for my cats. They are a bit high maintenance due to food issues. They both came out and ate for her, which is total five stars 🌟.
Amanda did a wonderful job checking in on my 2 cats for about a week. She was sure to send detailed notes and many pictures each day. One of my cats tends to eat really fast so she ensured to spread out the food and even split up the serving as needed. Amanda also graciously brought in some packages I don’t anticipate getting delivered. I will definitely be rebooking for future care.
Lily was amazing and so patient with me . It gave me a lot of peace knowing she was going to drop in p
Thank you Taryn! Was very nice and efficient when dropping in on my cat. Fed her and played with her to keep her company.
Whitney is a reliable sitter who I trust with my pet! She always goes the extra mile to play and hang with my Charley 😊
Lauren took good care of our little buddy. He warmed up to her quickly and was obviously happy to have her come by for some pets and other necessities. Thank you, Lauren!
April is a 10 star sitter! Her love for animals was immediately apparent and she made me feel so comfortable leaving my furbaby with her. She had great communication the whole trip and sent some of the most beautiful photos of my cat, showing just how happy my cat was with her. She is a phenominal sitter and my cat is looking forward to when she comes over to play again!
She did a wonderful job! My cat was well-cared for and she provides detailed updates on each visit. Would highly recommend!
Annie was great and took the time to calmly approach my fur baby that insists on hiding under the bed when we’re out of town - she even got a friendly lick out of her!
Kelly provides great reliable and friendly service. I’m a repeat customer and will definitely reach out to her in the future.
I’m so appreciative of Rachel for taking care of my cat. It gave me peace of mind leaving to know he was being well cared for. He was a happy cat having company while I was gone and will be using Rachel again in the future.
I’ve been with Tatiana for 3 years and it’s been the best safe haven ever! She truly cares about my pets, always send great updates and photos placing my mind at ease. Even with a new addition with my cat was a seamless and great process.
Andrea has been amazing! The dogs love her. She is very responsive and gives great updates in her visit details. She was willing to stop by ahead of our first scheduled drop-in to meet the pups. I’ve rebooked with her and plan to continue!
Juliette did an amazing job watching my 2 rabbits. I had accidentally typed in the wrong address for my apartment, and she made a second trip back out to my place the same day once I had fixed the mistake. Her flexibility and dedication really took a lot of stress off me while I was traveling because I knew my pets were in good hands
Shannon took such great care of our dog, Toto! Her communication was excellent throughout, and we really appreciated the updates. It was clear that Toto was in good hands, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking with Shannon again in the future!
