“We had an amazing experience with Teffni! She cared for our lab and three cats for 9 days and went above and beyond. She was incredibly attentive, responsive to messages, and kept us updated with lots of great pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pets were clearly well-loved and cared for. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter and will absolutely book with Teffni again!”


“Joseph took great care of our chickens while we were out of town. He showed up diligently at the same time every day and made sure they had everything they needed. The ladies were happy and healthy when we returned!”



“Luisa was super friendly, helpful and always quick to respond. She left detailed updates with pictures after each visit, which was very reassuring and made being away much less worrisome. After meeting Luisa, it was very apparent that she truly loves all animals. She did a great job taking care of cat. I would highly recommend her.”


“Holland was such a great sitter! She was very communicative and helpful and took great care of my kitty. Holland sent pictures and updates that made me feel less anxious about leaving my cat alone. I would definitely use her again and I can’t recommend her enough!”


“Ariana was fantastic! It was my first time using Rover and she explained the whole process to me so I knew what to expect with drop ins. She took such great care of Fee and sent the best pictures in her report. Ariana always responded very quickly and showed Fee lots of love while I was gone! Will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”


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!

“Great communication and dedication! Anise spent a lot of time finding my cats’ very effective hiding spots in our new home! We look forward to having her back soon! :)”


“I couldn’t be happier with the care my cat, Ivy, received! Summar arrived right on time for the appointment and made sure to keep me updated on how Ivy was doing. The photo she sent of them bonding was all I needed to know that my cat was in great hands—it gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She truly went above and beyond, not only taking excellent care of Ivy but also cleaning her dishes, picking up litter debris, and making sure the cat waste was properly taken care of. Her responsiveness, flexibility, and genuine love for animals were evident in every interaction. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter who will treat your pet like their own, I highly recommend booking with Summar! I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.”


“Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic, great at communicating and an absolute pleasure to have look after our little Charles. A totally seamless experience!”


“Sharon L. did an absolutely outstanding job taking care of our cat, Zeus, through drop-in visits. From the start, her professionalism and attention to detail stood out. She was incredibly flexible with scheduling, ensuring all arrangements were followed seamlessly. What truly impressed us was her personal touch. Sharon left a thoughtful, handwritten postcard summarizing her visits, which added such a warm and caring touch to the experience. It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does and cares deeply for the animals she looks after. Zeus was happy, well-fed, and content when we returned – a testament to the splendid care Sharon provided. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate, and professional pet care. Thank you, Sharon!”


“Gary was fantastic! I couldn’t have asked for a more caring, attentive, responsible, and nice guy for my mother’s dog, who was staying with me for two weeks. The pics he sent of her from his visits every day gave me a lot of peace knowing how well cared for she was while I was at work. I recommend Gary with absolutely no reservations.”


About: I’ve raised my own dog from 3 months old (she’s now 5) and have experience with senior dogs, including my family’s 12-year-old pup. My friends and family have also had me to take care of their pets. My top priority is always the safety and happiness of every pet. Most of all, as someone who has spend the last two years finishing up my masters and being in the corporate world; I’m looking forward to enjoying walks away from my desk top. Due to my work schedule I will be available in the mornings on weekends and Fridays. On the weekdays I will be available in the evenings past 6 PM! I also have a car so I am able to get to places easily. As every dog is different in their needs and behaviors, I will make sure to not only follow instructions but to ask questions to make sure that the best care is provided to your pet! On walks, I keep plenty of dog bags with me and keep a watchful eye on surroundings. I also carry dog shoes just in case the pavement is too hot in the summer months or if there is salt on the ground in the winter. When going into a clients home, I want to not only be respectful to their space, but to make sure I make their pet feel comfortable in their own home!

About: Hi, I’m an attorney who works from home and is saving for a wedding and a house. I grew up with a chihuahua in my family and started dog sitting for friends in college. Since then, I’ve continued caring for dogs for friends I made in law school. Working from home allows me to give your pup plenty of attention, walks, and love while keeping them safe and happy. I’d love to help care for your furry friend! I work from home with a minimal meeting schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your dog throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just extra attention, I can easily adjust my routine to meet your pet’s needs. I live in a spacious apartment adjacent to a large park, so I have the resources and space to keep your pet happy. I also live in a dog friendly area.

“Mitchell takes good care of my cat and always includes thoughtful notes and observations with every drop-in visit. He is a pleasure to work with and I am happy to recommend to anyone who wants his or her cherished cat looked after. Thank you Mitchell!”


“Jules was a wonderful sitter for my cat!! She dropped in on Oreo several times over a few days. Oreo the kitty is usually very mean to strangers but she ran up to Jules and sniffed her politely (very shocking for my cat - Jules must be a cat whisperer). She was respectful of our home and prompt with communication and drop ins. Highly recommend Jules for all your kitty needs!!!!”


About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently care for a pack of seven, so I’m no stranger to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’ve cared for everything from tiny seniors to large, active breeds and know how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment. Whether your dog needs company, playtime, or just a calm space to relax while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family and keep you updated every step of the way. My work schedule is Monday through Thursday, and I typically get home around 7 PM. Because of that, my availability is best on weekends—I’m fully off Friday through Sunday and can give your pup my full attention during that time. I can also accommodate Thursday evening drop-offs for weekend stays. I have two pups of my own, and we live in a spacious two-story home with a huge fenced yard that we share with my in-laws, who also have two friendly dogs. The dogs can be separated or joined together based on your comfort level and your pup’s personality. There’s plenty of space for play, rest, and safe supervision—whether your dog prefers quiet time or more social interaction.
