“My dog Mila has a new friend :) Molly took great care of her and my home! She asked good questions on our initial walkthrough, and sent frequent updates and photos. I would be happy to hire her again.”

“Halle is absolutely phenomenal! She exceeded all my expectations and needs taking care of Tommy and my apartment while I was away. She is very communicative and had the cutest updates throughout the booking. She made my trip so easy to enjoy knowing everything was being take care of — I absolutely recommend her in the DC area!!”

“John was fantastic! He was very attentive to the directions we gave him and made sure their routines were not disrupted. He also gave timely updates and has a knack for animal photography. John was also very responsive via text. Our dog and cat look forward to the next time my wife and I are out of town!”


“Gabs was great to work with. Kind, friendly, communicative, and was very understanding and accommodating with the all of the quirks of our old house and our cat Stevie. Already looking forward to hiring them again!”

“Mark did a great job with taking care of my high-energy dog, Atlas! He took him on long walks and hikes to help burn his energy. He clearly loves what he does, and I would trust him to take care of Atlas again!”

“Karachi was great! She watched our exuberant 2 year old, 50 pound dog Luna for a week; she was reliable, dependable, and took great care of our girl. She sent us pics every day and told us how Luna was doing. She went the extra mile to come and meet with Luna before we left so Luna would be more familiar with her. She is very responsive; always answered texts immediately and kept us apprised of things. She was a perfect guest; the house was in immaculate condition when we came home. I would definitely hire her again to watch our dog. Luna seemed happy and she got the walks she needed. Karachi is a mature, poised, caring and dependable dog sitter.”

About: From my childhood days of caring for my beloved dogs Shadow and Mittens (and Charlie the cat) to my more recent role as dog foster for Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and Laila's Legacy, I love caring for man's best friend. I am the guy at the party who would rather hang out with pets than people and in our circle of friends, I am the designated dog sitter and walker whenever the need arises. I work from home, so I have the flexibility during the week to drop in for visits and dog walking. My work schedule typically allows for me to adapt to what your schedule calls for. I am open to overnight stays on a case by case basis. Please send me a message with details and I'll figure out if I am available. I have a good deal of experience walking dogs, including reactive dogs. Taking care of foster dogs, often fresh from shelters, I've grown used to handling dogs with various behavioral issues and fears, keeping them away from triggers.
“Kymberlee did a great job caring for Ralphie. We had some pleasant exchanges before the booking to nail down details. She sent pics and updates during her stay and left the house in good condition. Ralphie seemed happy upon our return and even looked for Kymberlee downstairs where she stayed on the day after she left! We would be grateful to have her sit for us again.”


“Fantastic communicator and excellent follow through. My pets both seemed to really love her. Lots of pictures and status updates. When one of my babies wasn’t feeling his best she regularly let me know the status and got him through it. Everything was excellently cared for. Will definitely book again :)”

“Amy is a gem! We did not plan on having a small kitten along with our two adult cats when we planned a trip, and realized a house sitter was needed to continue monitoring and acclimating our cat fam. Amy responded to all communication promptly, sent pics and updates throughout, and left our house immaculate. We came home to cats who were relaxed and happy. Highly recommend Amy's services, she is a trustworthy professional.”

“I am so lucky to have found Lauren. She is so good with my dog who has a lot of separation anxiety but he quickly warmed up to her wonderful personality and is so comfortable with her. I can’t praise her enough. She always keeps me updated and will continue to be our #1 go to :)”

“If I could leave 10 stars I would! Brianna is a lovely young woman who was an amazing sitter for my baby girl. Twice daily check-ins, at least, and always with many adorable photos. She stayed in my home for 2-weeks and she left it spotless. She has a customer for life!”


“Hannah took such good care of our dog Penny. She gave lots of updates while we were away and took great care of our home as well. Highly recommend Hannah for any of your pet care needs! We will definitely ask her to stay with Penny next time we need a sitter!”

“Shamaurie is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! Shamaurie has stayed at our house with our large dog on several occasions, and has been endlessly kind, thoughtful, and loving toward our pup (and even bailed us out at midnight when my flight was cancelled recently). I would give 6 stars if I could!”
“Leidy was a wonderful help when I went to South America for five days. It was my first time being away from my cat and I was nervous. Leidy took exceptional care of Boo, spent playtime with her and shared pics of her visits. I’d definitely recommend Leidy.”

“Nicole was amazing with our two dogs. They were well loved and cared for while we were out of town, and our pups loved her! Would highly recommend her. Thank you so much!”

“Kai was amazing with our dogs. Rafa is usually slow to warm but he like Kai right away. And when these tourists got lost and were so late he stayed well after the agreed time. He did great walking them and keeping them entertained.”

“Chinyere performed a great job in taking care of my babies while I was out of town. She was very attentive and provided numerous photos. If in need of a pet sitter, I wholeheartedly recommend Chinyere.”

We had the best experience with Badr! It's always hard to leave your fur baby, but Badr made it completely stress-free. He was super communicative and sent the most entertaining, playful videos of our cat having a blast. Plus, he left the house in perfect condition. Thank you, Badr!

I cannot articulate how excellent Jenn was. She watched our dog during a heat wave, fireworks, poor air quality, and massive storms - not an easy combination! She kept him entertained with indoor play, frozen licky pads, and plenty of walks and kept us updated with great photos and videos. Our house was spotless when we returned, with clean sheets and towels. She even tried to trouble shoot a finnicky drier and stayed later than planned given a delayed flight. Highly recommend!!!

Dobby is generally anxious about meeting new people but he warmed up to Ixchel quickly. She managed his quirks and challenges well and without complaint. We returned home to a happy and healthy dog and a clean apartment. We would definitely book with Ixchel again!
Lakshmi was AWESOME. She was terrific with our pup. She even enticed her to eat dog food she normally avoids. And the dog was obviously super happy, not just in the (many!) pics Lakshmi sent but also when we got home. She was super flexible, communicative, caring — all around great. We will definitely ask her to sit again!

John did great with my Great Dane! My pup is an emotional guy and John did a great job sticking to his routines and adapting where necessary. He was proactive about thinking through my dog’s needs, like adjusting the walk schedule when there was an extreme heat warning for the day.

Our pug, Marco Polo, immediately liked Molly. Her quiet, calm, warm demeanor won his (and us) over. She sent twice-daily updates with multiple photos. Upon our return after two nights and three days away, we found Marco calm, obviously well-cared for, and secure. Molly is an excellent communicator. I felt confident as soon as we began our initial chat. Knowing that our Marco is in good hands made it possible for us to be away with a clear mind.

Ahniya was amazing! We had to find a sitter last minute and we got SUPER lucky to find her! She stayed at our apartment with our two small dogs. Ahniya sent tons of pictures and updates and we just knew our dogs were being so loved and taken care of. She’s kind and trustworthy, just the best person I could ever imagine to take care of our dogs. 10/10 would recommend for your pets care. Thank you so much Ahniya!!! Love, Beanie and Pearl and Kelley and Virginia
