“WOW! Aimee took such great care of our kitty while we were away. She came for multiple daily visits and sent detailed updates with great photos. She truly went above and beyond our expectations to make sure our cat was well taken care of and I felt so much better knowing Aimee was there for her. I will absolutely be using Aimee for any future travel.”
“Maria was great. It was her first time with our two cats. They warmed up to her quickly, which is saying a lot! Her report cards were clear and complete and all went well!”
“This is our second time booking with Mya and she did such an amazing job like always! She went above and beyond , our cats made a mess and broke some flower pots and she took the time to make sure everything was clean and tidy. Highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Erin did a wonderful job of taking care of our two kitties while we were away, spending time with them and making sure our one cat got his medicine. She also went above and beyond by cleaning up an unexpected mess, so I didn’t have to worry about returning home to it.”
“Mei is the best!! She took great care of our cats while we were out of the country and made us feel so much more comfortable knowing they were in good hands. She sent great updates and lots of cute pictures which were always the highlights of our days :) Thank you for everything Mei, we will definitely reach back out in the future!!”
“Brittany was amazing with my nearly three month old puppy, Ruby! She kept Ruby busy with a walk and playing with all of Ruby’s toys, and by the end of the visit, Ruby was all tired out (which was the goal)! I can’t thank Brittany enough and will certainly be using her again!”
“Simone did a great job with my dog Lily and my two kittens!! She took lots of photos and videos, my pets looked very happy! She also had some great notes and I will definitely be reaching out to her again for care!”
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!
“Andre was terrific. He came over in advance to make sure he knew where everything was and go over our cats schedule. We definitely know Bowie was well cared for and will use Andre again in the future when we travel.”
“Aislyn was wonderful with our puppy Scout. She was super responsive, on-time, and provided great pictures and write-ups of our visit. That was especially important to us as Scout is our first puppy and we were nervous about leaving her home alone for the first time. Scout always looked so happy in the pictures and when we came home from work!”
“Sun has been great taking care of my kitty! She is very responsive and professional and I completely trust her with my cat’s care. Thanks for your great work, Sun!”
“We are so happy we found Mira! We were able to book her for an impromptu weekend trip. She checked-in on our dog and cat daily for feedings and walks. We received updates & pictures for each visit, which we really appreciated. We will absolutely be making Mira our regular pet sitter/walker. Our pets give her two paws up! Thank you Mira!”
“Esther took great care of my elderly dog! She is so friendly, caring, and loving with my pup. She had great communication and professionalism and I would definitely book her again!”
About: I’ve had both dogs and cats since I was a child. I’m especially experienced caring for large dogs and love to give them all the attention they need! I work full time during the day, but am available on an ad hoc basis in the early morning, evenings, and weekends as needed. Happy to chat more about options for care! I am respectful and follow all house rules in the clients homes. I am able to crate dogs in my apartment and live in a pet friendly community with a lot of green spaces.
About: Hi! I’m a professor on summer break who absolutely loves dogs. I’ve been caring for animals for years and currently live with three dogs and two cats—so I’m very comfortable with pets of all kinds, including those that are shy or have special needs. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, or in-home care throughout the year, and I’m particularly free and flexible until the end of the summer. While I’m not able to host pets at my place, I’m happy to stay in your home to keep your pets comfortable in their own space. I bring lots of patience, affection, and a deep respect for the routines that help pets feel safe and happy. I’m usually available for pet care any time between 8am and 8pm, seven days a week. If you have specific needs outside of those hours, I’m happy to be flexible and work with your schedule. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits, I’m committed to making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for. As a fellow pet parent, I understand how important it is to maintain the routines and rules you’ve set for your pets. I’m great at following the specific instructions you provide and will always make sure to honor your expectations—whether that’s feeding schedules, leash preferences, or quiet time routines. My goal is to make your pets feel safe and loved while you're away, and to care for them with the same attention and affection I give to my own three dogs and two cats.
About: As a student living in Arlington and attending Georgetown University School of Medicine near by, I have an extremely flexible schedule and love to help out with whatever needs you may have. I have pet sat many animals in my neighborhood, including both cats and dogs. I love playing with all types of dogs and hope to get to know them well. I love to run in the area, so if you want your pup to get a little extra exercise, I can help with that too. I am easy to get in touch with and can change my schedule to whatever may work for you. I truly love spending time with animals, and I hope to provide nothing but the best for your pet.

Juliet L.
Star Sitter
“I would recommend Julie to anyone seeking a caring, responsible guardian for their dog. She enjoys going for walks, playing games, and engaging in other enriching activities depending on an individual dog's wants and needs. As an attentive mother to her corgi, and growing up with dogs in her household, I have seen Julie prioritize the comfort and well-being of animals under her care. I trust her to watch over anyone else's pets like her own family.”

She has grown up with multiple pets (particularly dogs and cats) her entire life, and that experience demonstrates itself through the high-quality, attentive, and loving care she provides to all animals. Her friends regularly reach out to her first whenever they need help looking after their pets because they know she takes good care of them, and provides them a playful and nurturing environment. You won't go wrong with Abby!”
Bella V.
“Bella is the best pet sitter ever! Competent and confident with dogs and cats of all kinds, no matter what their needs. She is always on time, and makes every pet feel comfortable and safe. I trust Bella with my most reactive dog. I always recommend her services, and know that she'll do a great job.”
