“This was my first time booking with Melinda and she exceeded all our needs, especially when my dog had a bad day health wise. I took the longest vacation in my adult life and overseas as well, she gave me peace of mind I needed to enjoy my trip. 1000% would rebook and recommend her wholeheartedly.”

“Kenia was absolutely wonderful, and I would book with her again without hesitation. This was my first time having someone stay overnight in my home, so I was naturally a little nervous, but she immediately put me at ease with her communication and professionalism. She respected my home and my space exactly as we discussed, followed every instruction carefully, and even took initiative when appropriate without needing to be asked. She kept me updated throughout the stay with messages, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, Luna was well cared for, happy, and comfortable when I returned. It was clear that Kenia genuinely cared about making sure both my dog and my home were well taken care of. I truly appreciated her thoughtfulness, reliability, and attention to detail. I highly recommend Kenia to anyone looking for a trustworthy, respectful, and caring pet sitter!”

“Priya stayed in our home with our dog Toby and cat Lindi for a week. She was friendly and responsive, provided frequent updates with adorable photos, and, after an initial misunderstanding, followed care instructions carefully. It was wonderful to have the peace of mind that our babies and home were in good hands while we were away. We returned to happy and healthy pets and a well-cared for and immaculate home.”

About: I have had a passion for animals my whole life and have cared for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, you name it. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, including young and senior animals. Taking care of dogs or cats is the highlight of my day, and I truly care for every pet. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I’m currently in school, but I have flexible availability and plan my schedule around pet care. My week days are open besides Tuesday and Thursday evening. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, including walks, feeding, and playtime. I’ll treat your home with respect and care, respect your privacy, and leave it as clean or cleaner than I found it. I follow your pet’s routine closely so they feel comfortable and safe in their familiar environment. I’ll make sure they’re well cared for, given attention, and always supervised appropriately.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages since I was young. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. I’m available for pet care on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. During these days, I have dedicated time to focus fully on each pet’s needs, including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I prioritize safety and follow all care instructions closely. I keep a clean, calm environment and always supervise pets. I’m comfortable with crates, routines, medications if needed, and I provide regular updates to pet parents for peace of mind.

“Stacy is very reliable and she took really good care of our 3 pups. She didn't mind sleeping with them at night on the same bed in the guest room.”

“Lashawn was so great! I have two American Bullies and one American Staffordshire Terrier, which combined can be a lot of energy! Lashawn stepped right in and took over like he had known them their entire life. He understands dog behavior and a pack mentality, and managed all three of mine beautifully, one of which is very jealous of the other two and demands a lot of one-on-one attention when the others are being petted. Lashawn did an amazing job and I have already booked him to come back!”

About: Hi! My name is Isabella; I go by Izzy and I've been a reliable pet sitter for the past 5 years. During college, I was an in-house pet sitter for a 2-year-old Maltese and also regularly in-house sat for a lab mix and Husky. I would also occasionally watch my friends' dogs during long holiday weekends here and there. When completing my Master's I offered drop-in visits to residents in my apartment complex and gained plenty of experience walking different breeds of all sizes and ages. I understand that every pet has an established routine and unique needs, so I like to build trust with the pets I sit and value creating a meaningful bond by learning each pet's personalities, habits, and preferences. I work full time in-person in Washington, D.C., Monday-Wednesday and remotely from Herndon, VA Thursdays and Fridays. My schedule allows me to flexibly work around the DMV, with greater daytime flexibility on my remote workdays and availability before or after work when I am in the office for D.C. residents. I can work remote from anywhere which is helpful for pet parents wanting a sitter starting on Wednesday evenings to Sunday if traveling over a weekend. I value open communication and like to provide as many updates as possible/as frequently as owners would like through photos or just casual check-in texts. I believe honesty is the best policy and bring up any concerns immediately to the owners. I always ask about emergency contacts/emergency vet locations in case it is ever needed. Building trust with owners is just as important as building a strong bond with your furry friend, so I like to get to know owners before sitting and talk about our communication styles.

About: I have a lifetime of experience with animals starting from my first day as an infant. I grew up with multiple cats in the home with learned, gentle-respect and patience that cats require. I also grew up with a shetland sheepdog, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. As an adult I have significant experience with caring for dogs and cats alike both in my home and in other homes. My own animals, two dogs, a cat, and a 70 gallon fish tank, remind me daily of the joys and importance of animals. I have an anxious 74 pound hound and a nervous 30 pound beagle of my own, so I understand the needs of special breeds and animals coming from previously difficult situations. I have the patience needed to address nervous dogs and have experience with clicker training and am educated in techniques for dog training. I do not breed discriminate. I have fostered kittens and adult cats and have experience with syringe feeding and medicine administration. I also have my own rascally kitten, Hazel, who keeps me entertained. In my experience with fish and aquariums I can clean, feed, and help with tank design or water cycling conditions. Note: I am selective about in home care due to a cat being in the home - this is for the safety of my own animals. Thanks. Your pets will be the utmost priority and I can adjust my schedule to meet your needs. I can assure timely feedings, walks, and potty breaks so your pet is comfortable and you are assured! I will treat them as my own. Our daily routine is FULL of pet fun and enjoyment. First thing in the morning is a walk and potty breaks, followed by feeding, the rest of the day would follow similarly with 4/5 mini walks and dinner at ideal time. Potty before bed time and no pet will be left alone for more than 3 hours and if preferred never at all.

“Macy was able to take care of our two dogs on short notice.”

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. I currently have cats, a dog, and a lizard! I have experience pet sitting for family and neighbors. I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I am flexible and can hang out with your pets as much as you would like. I am open to late nights or early mornings as well. I believe that pets are the most comfortable in their own homes. It’s better to come to them so they can stay where they know, rather than having to get comfortable in a new place.

I am currently home from college on summer break with a very flexible schedule that can be tailored to any and all needs a pet may have. I'm all about making your pets day. It's already hard enough on them not having their favorite people home so anything I can do to bring them enjoyment and pass the time brings me so much pleasure.
