“Elsa was so great with my cat! My cat is usually very shy and timid with new people, but seemed to be very comfy with Elsa. She sent plenty of photos, was very responsive, and even cleaned up tracked litter without me having to ask. Will definitely book again!”


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!”


“Andre takes great care of my cat and goes above and beyond every visit. He’s communicative and even helped me handle an emergency home issue that came up while I was out of town. Highly recommend him (and so does my cat!)”


“Catherine went above and beyond for our drop-in visits! I was so happy to leave George in good hands, with great walks and playdates with her dog Winston! Thank you so much for everything you do!!”


About: Growing up, I made many friends with stray dogs, building trust and learning to understand their unique personalities. I later gained more hands-on experience by dogsitting for friends' pets, working with a variety of temperaments and breeds. In the “Puppies and Yoga” program, I was responsible for the care of energetic puppies throughout the day, making sure they felt comfortable and loved—even if they weren’t potty trained yet. I’m calm, patient, and always ready to give dogs the attention they need to feel safe and happy. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I’m available most weekdays and weekends, with flexibility for both short visits and longer stays. I tailor my availability to suit your pet’s needs, whether they need a walk, playtime, or cuddles. I strive to create a consistent schedule that helps pets feel secure and loved while you’re away. In both your home and mine, safety and trust are my top priorities. I ensure pets have a secure environment, free from any hazards, and provide plenty of space for them to relax and feel comfortable. I respect each pet’s unique needs, routines, and boundaries, offering them a safe, calm, and loving experience. I’m always happy to follow any special instructions to make sure your pet feels right at home.

“Rubens took wonderful care of my cat Olive. He was attentive and his pictures are so great. He captured Olive’s personality and I knew she was in good hands. I will definitely use him again!”


About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada, and had the opportunity to pet sit for a variety of different people including neighbors, family, and people who referred me. I have experience with all ages of cats and dogs, big and small. Unfortunately, the past couple of years I haven't been able to spend time with as many furry friends as I would have liked. I've been living in Italy for the past three years because my husband is in the Army. We are currently stationed in Richmond for the next six months and I thought I would take this opportunity to spend time with four-legged fur babies. My schedule is very flexible outside of my 9-5! I would love to make Rover a part-time job for myself while I am in D.C. Your pet's safety is my #1 priority! Whatever your pet needs when you're away I am here to provide. I know from first hand experience how hard it can be to leave your babies. My goal is to not only to make sure your furry baby is taken care of, but also to make sure that you feel comfortable when you are away.

“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!”


“Emma was flexible, responsive and so great! We had a horrible situation come up with our AC breaking on a really hot day and she helped us navigate getting Scottie to a cooler place to stay. It was our first time leaving Scottie without a family member and Emma made us feel totally at ease.”


“Becca always does an amazing job with my sometimes shy and timid cat Lola. The photos really show how excited Lola is when Becca visits and just how good her cheek scratches are!”


“Maggie did a fantastic job with my cat and guineas. They were well loved. My cat is skittish, so I am amazed how quickly she warmed up to Maggie! I will recommend to all my friends.”


About: Hi! My name is Shelby, and I’m a 21 year old college student. I have taken care of animals since my childhood, and have experience with all kinds of pets, including dogs of all sizes, cats, fish, birds, bunnies... even frogs! I absolutely love spending time with animals and would love the opportunity to hang out with yours, as I'm away from my 2 dogs. I am happy to accommodate puppies and kittens, senior pets, and animals with individual medical or emotional needs. I'm a student, which gives me a variable schedule and lots of free time! I have class from 2pm - 8pm on Monday and Thursday and 11am - 5pm on Wednesday, but am usually free aside from those times. I have preexisting regular clients whose walks I do prioritize, but please reach out to me and I would love to work out timing with you and your pet. I aim to provide the most respectful, reliable, and paw-sitive service possible for owners and animals. I strive to have patience and compassion and will always take time to ensure your pet is comfortable with me... I get it, I'd be nervous too if a random new human was taking me on a walk. If providing care in your home, I will do everything in my power to respect and maintain your space! I'm never afraid to ask questions to ensure my care goes beyond your standards.

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors’ dogs throughout my life and am comfortable with all kinds of pups. I stay calm under stressful situations and am confident handling unexpected circumstances. I am currently an intern with pretty flexible hours. I’m available all day on weekends and outside of the hours 12pm - 4pm on weekdays. I’ll care for the pets by following their usual routine and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. & send regular updates so you can have a peace of mind.

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.

“I would recommend Julie to anyone seeking a caring, responsible guardian for their dog.
