“Donald and Jeffrey were great. They kept me updated with how Jack was doing and were flexible with a schedule change due to possible bad weather. Thanks for taking good care of Jack!”
“Cierra is amazing and I could not recommend her more! She provided several photo and video updates a day on my dog Rex and went above and beyond for us. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and wonderful with dogs, Cierra is the sitter for you.”
“Briana was amazing! Daily pictures and updates let us know how well Bentley was being loved and taken care of!! Definitely felt at peace leaving our fur baby with Briana!”
“Vania was a great cat sitter. She was very flexile and made sure I was comfortable with everything. As a result, I felt very comfortable leaving my cat with her and I had peace of mind knowing she was taking care of her. My cat seemed very happy and I will definitely book with Vania again.”
“Alli and her family were absolutely perfect with Brady. We received constant updates and she was very attentive with Brady’s medicine schedule and his hip dysplasia. We will definitely use Alli again to watch Brady. He came home so tired!”
“Allie is wonderful! She has watched my pup twice and each time I’ve felt confident he is being very well taken care of. She was also incredibly understanding after weather delayed my flight home and I had to pick him up much later than expected. Would highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth was FANTASTIC! She was so thorough in understanding Hudson’s needs, sent tons of picture and video updates, and kept him entertained all weekend. She even flexed with our schedule to make sure he was taken care of no matter when our travel plans shifted due to all the uncertainty in the area. 10/10 would book her again and again!”
“Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!”
“I needed pet-care last minute and Ericka saved my trip. She was responive and sent me routine updates about my pup while I was gone. I would definitely book with her again!!”
“Janel was the BEST! We booked with her just a few days ahead of time and she was so accommodating and communicative. It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience. Janel made sure our pup, Cassidy, was loved and cared for. We received pictures and videos of Cassidy throughout her stay. It is clear that Janel and Harvey do this for their love of dogs! Janel even went out of her way to return something we had left at her house. We would DEFINITELY book with Janel again.”
“Abigail did a great job caring for my dog over the 4th of July weekend. I was able to relax knowing my dog was in good hands. As a bonus my pup had a great time playing with sweet Stella. Abigail was easy to coordinate with, gave regular updates and also was very knowledgeable about dog play styles/dog behavior. Highly recommend!”
“Zack was so professional and trustworthy. We hope he wasn’t lying when he said he wants to watch our fur monsters again!! He was reliable, communicative, and treated our dogs sooooo kindly. Thank you Zack!!”
“Lia’s communication is always on point! Charlie and I recently moved to DC and looking for a new sitter. Lia was honestly the best sitter for Charlie! She went above and beyond for Charlie even accommodated to his spoiled picky eating behavior 😂. Honestly I want to gate keep Lia but I think everyone deserves to have a sitter like her.”
“Jackalyn took great care of our nine month old puppy and was available last minute when we were in a pinch. She was very detailed in her communication and our pup seemed very happy there!”
“Matthew treated our pups like they were his own. They were super happy and very well taken care of. Fantastic communication. Easy going and easy to work with. My pups already want to go back. Thanks for the fantastic experience!”
“Jasmine and Stormi were great with Roxy. Roxy was transitioning between dog foods during her stay and Jasmine handled it like a pro. I would highly recommend Jasmine for your next trip.”
“Nicole and family did an amazing job with Zack! He had such a great time that he's now exhausted 😴👍. Their kindness, responsiveness, and care were truly appreciated – thank you for making our experience so special!”
About: I am a true Capitol Hill dog lover and I have always had a strong passion for animals, mostly for dogs. I have been caring for dogs since I was child, taking care of my mother’s beloved shitzu. Taking care of her helped me acquire basic canine behavior and taught me the responsibility of taking care of a pet. Most recently I raised my own best friend, Gelato an English Bulldog. I gained my breeder experience with Gelato and cared for her and her 6 puppies, until they were rehomed at 8 months. I enjoy taking long walks, which I consider the ultimate stress reliever and best way to exercise. I have no problem getting my hands dirty. I have 20 years of experience in the customer service field and enjoy striving to provide the best experience to my clients. In my personal time I am spending time with my 2 little girls teaching them how to play sports, and of course how to be loving pet owners. Thank you for taking the time to visit my page! I’m currently working part time and will be available to walk most pets during early mornings hours during the week and mid day and evenings during the weekend. I definitely would like to know your pets temperament, and what might scare them. I know they will feel most comfortable at home but if they are with me, I’d like to keep a calm, pet friendly setting for them to be comfortable in.

Tamara’s care for my pup far exceeded my expectations. we were in a bit of a sticky situation with another sitter and she was able to quickly save the day by taking my dog in. She was attentive, communicative and understanding to my dogs needs. i will absolutely book again
Audrey was beyond great! She was super flexible with times and also just an all around pleasant person! She made me feel at ease knowing Roman was in great care and he made his first ever friend with her dog fitz and I was shocked to know he shared his toys so I know Audrey was definitely the best choice for us and we will be back
Micaela was a great first-time sitter for our puppy! We were nervous to leave him for the first time but we felt at ease knowing we found an experienced sitter. All communication was prompt and we really appreciated receiving pictures of our sweet Ziggy, who was clearly having a great time relaxing during his stay. Micaela went above and beyond to make sure he ate dinner even though he was being fussy. We're thrilled to have a reliable local sitter and plan to rebook any time we're out-of-town and cannot bring our pup along.
Olivia was wonderful with Zoey. She sent pictures and responded to all of my messages quickly. Although Zoey was happy to see me after the weekend boarding it seemed that she wanted to follow her back in behind her when we were leaving, which is a good but heart breaking thing 😜. I would definitely use her again and have recommended her to my fellow Dogpark friends.
Lauren is as always amazing with our sweet senior boy muchacho ❤️ he can be high maintenance and require patience and they do SO well with him we absolutely know he is in great hands while they have him! That is so important and we are always so grateful. I know he loves his lil staycations with them!
