“Russell is a delight to work with! His communication and care for our golden doodle is the best we have ever had from a sitter. And he was incredibly flexible when we experienced weather-related travel delays. Highly recommend!”

“Mark was amazing with our dog, going above and beyond with him when we were out of town. We have a high energy dog and mark took him on several long walks. He was really great about sending photos too! And he took great care of our cat , checking on her multiple times . We look forward to working with him again soon!”

“This was our first outing with Alayza, and she is now on our go-to list! She got to know 2 older dogs that aren't always simple - and both gave her high marks! They quickly wanted to hang close to her!”

“Shannon was amazing with my dog Cash while I was away for a few days! Shannon provided daily pictures and videos, as well as updates as to how he was doing. I was very impressed with how detailed she was in her updates, and I didn’t worry at all about him while I was away! I highly recommend Shannon!”

“Isabelle exceeded our expectations as a pet sitter! From the moment she arrived, our dog Max felt completely at ease with her, which says a lot about her natural way with animals. She kept us updated with regular messages and adorable photos that gave us complete peace of mind knowing Max was happy and well-cared for. What really impressed us was her attention to detail - not only did she take excellent care of Max, but she also left our home spotless.”

“Anthony watched our senior pup and cat and they were happy and healthy when we got home! Anthony was a good communicator leading up to and during the stay and treated our home with respect. Thank you!!”

“Bria was an exceptional dog walker / house sitter for Loo, my dog and Meredith, my cat. Initially Bria and I met for a meet and great and I instantly felt comfortable with her. You can tell she is very comfortable around animals and has a way with them. While I was out of town, Bria went to the store and bought Loo toys. I was SO pleased to see she went out of her way to make my dog happy. Bria is extremely thoughtful and great with communicatiion while you are out of town. I will for sure reach out to Bria again when I need a dog sitter / walker. She's the best! :)”

“Jordan was incredible! Took amazing care of our dog and cats, plus left our space very clean. She had great communication and took the cutest pet pics. Will definitely be booking her again next time we go out of town!!!”

“This is Andrew's second time with Stephanie pet sitting and I know it will not be his last! He was calm and clearly well-cared for when we got home. Andrew is blind so it's not easy for him to have new adventures but Stephanie kept him occupied with massages, games and lots of affection. He is not crazy about taking walks but Stephanie somehow got him to take a 45 minute walk! She sent us detailed updates and funny, adorable photos. I feel very comfortable with Stephanie. We were able to take our trip without worry. Plus, the house was beautiful when we got home.”
“Lauren is a dependable and nice person, and took great care of my two cats for a couple nights while I was away on travel. I appreciated the consistent communication and the videos and periodic updates! She left the house just as clean as she found it. Recommended!”

“Keisha saved our Christmas plans! When our sitter canceled last minute, it was such a relief when Keisha was so willing to do a same-day meet and greet, and stay with my elderly dog for the week of Christmas. She was responsive the whole time, and we returned to a happy dog and clean house. She even treated Marley to a Christmas present, which was so sweet!”

About: As a dog lover I bring gentle loving care to all dog friends! I can also work on training and exercise with high energy dogs. I volunteer with a local animal rescue and have fostered shelter dogs in the past. I work remotely Monday & Friday so I’m able to provide adequate walking, interaction and attention. I’m active and can provide all levels of exercise and play. This includes walking, running, potty breaks, indoor enrichment with puzzles, lick mats and toys. I simply enjoy being around dogs and will provide extra care such as brushing and cuddles. I treat any pet entering my home as my own and extend that same love and attention to them. I prioritize their needs as well as their owners to ensure everyone is comfortable with the experience and to give my new dog friend a vacation while their owner is away! Dog sitting is just as exciting for me as it can be for a dog getting to meet new people and do fun things!
“Jayme was great with my dog and was extremely flexible dealing with some last minute and slightly complicated plans. He was extremely patient and I felt confident with my dog in his care.”


“Karima took excellent care of our dog Goose and our apartment while we were away for over a week. She was caring, responsive, and helpful throughout her stay. She sent us daily updates and was very professional. She left our apartment clean and Goose absolutely loved her! I would definitely book with Karima again and suggest her for any of your dog sitting needs.”


“Gabrielle was the perfect housesitter for our dog. They met with us ahead of time to walk through the house and meet our dog, showed up on time, gave frequent updates, walked our dog regularly, took fantastic care of our house and cleaned up after themselves, and were extremely communicative and responsive throughout our trip. We would definitely work with Gabrielle again and highly recommend them to others.”

“Imani took good care of our dog during our time away from home. She kept us well informed at all times and pay special attention to some health issues he was having. She is a lifesaver!”

“Niani took exceptional care of our two pups and home. She was patient with our anxious girl and handled medications with no issues. Highly recommend her! She’ll be at the top of our list for future trips!”

“We've had Kim as our kitty sitter for well over a year. We left her in charge of our home and cats for over a month. She has been such a blessing for our family taking such great care of our kitties and not having to stress while we are away. Highly recommend her to take care of your fuzzy loved ones.”

“Bradley was so great with my puppy. I never used Rover before and was nervous having someone else watch my pup and be in my house, but Bradley was amazingly and my pup was well taken care of. Sent pics of my pup out and playing which made me feel much more comfortable. Will def book again !”

“Taylor watched our two kittens while we were away. Since I had never had cats before, I appreciated her knowledge and the good care she provided while we were traveling. She sent us pictures and daily updates. I also appreciated the good care she took of our house. I'm happy to hire Taylor again!”

Madison did an excellent job watching my two cats while I was away for a week. One of my cats needs daily liquid medicine and she quickly learned how to give the meds safely and efficiently. Madison sent daily updates and photos, and when I returned, my apartment was spotless. I look forward to hiring Madison again soon!

We are so blessed to have found Issi as a sitter for Kiki. She was wonderful with Kiki and also calmed my nerves making it possible for me to go on my first trip without my little one feeling confident. Issi sent updates through the day with pictures which I looked forward to everyday! Issi took wonderful care of my home it looked even better when I came home! We will for sure be requesting Cynthia again we love her!

Brianna is a LIFESAVER. I've been using the same sitter for years in So. Cal, but I'm temporarily in DC and was completely lost on what to do when I had to do an unexpected work trip. Brianna immediately arranged a meet and greet, took the time to get to know my cats and the space. And on that work trip, I realized that separate arrangements I had made hadn't worked out, and my cats had been alone for 24 hours plus. Brianna graciously stepped in and got the keys (and helped me avoid an awkward situation), and took care of the cats for the rest of the trip. I'm in DC until November, and very grateful I have someone reliable to take care of the furballs until then!

Jini is fantastic and treats our pets as if they were her own. She is attentive, communicative, and loves to be around pets! We always feel so confident that our pets are in great caring hands while we are away and don’t stress about the care or love they’re receiving.

Latisha took such great care of our dog and cat while we were out of town! My dog has a medical issue that requires daily medication, which may need to be adjusted in response to stress. Latisha had no issues handling his meds, and I came home to a relaxed and very happy dog! It was clear he enjoyed his time with her and was well cared for. On top of that, she shared lots of photos, was incredibly responsive to my messages, and left my house just as clean as I had left it. I would not hesitate to hire her again!
