Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Au-Tenleytown, Washington, D.C., DC

“Luisa was the perfect cat sitter while I was away for two weeks! She took great care of my (very attention-demanding) cat, including brushing and playing with him on top of making sure his food and litter needs were met. She sent adorable pictures the whole time so I knew he was in good hands, and when I got home, he was way more relaxed than he has ever been before after I'm away. Clearly he loved Luisa's visits :).”

“I had Ashley drop in on my cat for a few days when I was out of town; she was reliably available and responsive when booking and took good care of Emmy. I would book again and recommend her without hesitation.”

Jessie P.

“Liz is hands down the best pet caretaker I have ever had. She goes above and beyond to make sure that you're at ease while you're away. The communication between myself and Liz was outstanding, Liz was always very helpful and attentive and responded quickly. I will highly recommend Liz to my friends and family, and you should do yourself a favor and book her for your next pet sitting.”

“Daria was super attentive to our energetic boy and shy girl. I appreciate her photos, thorough check-ins, and the ability to tire out our rambunctious little one while also giving attention to our older cat. Great job and would book again!”

Jenna S.

“Camryn is the best!!! We’ve had her check in on our cat on three different occasions now, and we’ll never hesitate to rebook! Our cat adores her, and it gives us such peace of mind knowing that she is in such good hands when we’re away.”

About: I have raised three dogs through puppyhood, adulthood, and seniorhood (a pointer/border collie mix, Weimaraner/greyhound mix, and a Westie). I have been trained in puppy obedience and clicker training and pride myself on being able to work with any dog-- from anxious, temperamental pups, to rowdy balls of energy, to silly couch potatoes-- I am here to keep your fur baby happy, healthy, and safe in your absence. In addition to my own dogs, I have had the privilege of caring for countless other friends' and neighbors' dogs and cats, and since moving to DC from California have been volunteering at the Humane Rescue Alliance shelter as a sensitivity-minded dog walker and enrichment provider as well as a cat care provider. I love all animals and am happy to help! I am currently a full time graduate student with a very flexible schedule and available to accommodate pet check ins, walks, and additional responsibilities within my class schedule. Depending on the dog's behavior, medical history, and location I work to minimize risks to the pet's safety and remain alert and attentive to the dog's body language as well as our surroundings, regardless of whether we are outside or inside.

About: Use my code JULIEL80305 for $20 off your first booking! I grew up with dogs (one husky, one Aussie Shepherd), and also dogsat on the side back home in Denver. Altogether, I have at least 20 years of experience with high energy breeds. These days I'm here in DC, where I live with my boyfriend and our corgi Romeo. Romeo is highly socialized, very friendly and will treat your baby as part of the pack! Trust that your puppy will have a friend to play with, and plenty of outside time (I live next to two dog parks, and tons of wooded trails). I'm 100% remote, and often use the time to walk my doggy around the neighborhood and take him to the dog park or wooded trails nearby. My boy is very active, so we're outside at least 4-5x per day. That said, your fur baby will get lots of fun outdoor time! My family dogs have had health challenges such as epilepsy, respiratory, food allergy and back issues -- all that to say, I'm comfortable adhering to pill schedules, strict dietary requirements, and making physical accommodations for your pup during their stay. I'm very attentive towards doggos in my care, and strive to provide an environment that is safe & enriching for them!

“Kaya did a fantastic job watching our new dog and two cats. She provided photos and updates assuring us things were going well. She provided meds and even took extra care during fireworks to be sure our dog felt safe. It was our first time using the rover app and Kaya. We already plan to have her watch our pets our next trip!”

About: Hi, I’m Laura! I’m originally from Florida and recently moved to DC for graduate school. I’ve been around animals my entire life and truly love them with my whole heart. I grew up with a black lab who was my best friend, and now my family has both a high-energy collie and a senior chiweenie, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I also have experience cat- and dog-sitting for friends and neighbors. I used to work on a farm where I cared for animals big and small, which taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and the joy animals bring to our lives. I’d love to get to know your pup and give them the care, love, and attention they deserve, whether it’s going for a long walk, playing fetch, or relaxing together. I’m reliable, communicative, and flexible to your pet’s needs! I’m a student in graduate school and have class Monday- Thursday but only one class a day. Monday and Thursday I don’t have class until after 6. Tuesday I am free before 1 and after 5. Wednesday I am free before 1 and after 3:15. My schedule is pretty flexible and I will work with you. I currently live in a single dorm room. Right now I have no pets and would love to spend time and help take care of your fur babies.

About: I'm all about creating a comfy, safe, and super fun experience for your pet! I've got a knack for puppy training and giving extra TLC to senior pets, making sure they feel loved and cared for every step of the way. Balancing my summer job with pet care is pretty fun and all about smart planning! I make sure to schedule visits around my work hours, so your pet gets all the attention and care they need. It's all about making sure they're happy and comfy while you're away! When I do drop-in visits, I focus on keeping your pet's routine as normal as possible. That means feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, and lots of cuddles in their own comfy space. I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 and they are so joyful to be around. Taking care of them would be so fulfilling and I’d love to reciprocate the same love that they give out to the world. Im currently a student at American so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet! I don’t mind staying over and sitting either! I can’t house pets but I can bring them on campus for the day, if needed I am able to come to over and stay with them!
