“Erica was on time, friendly, and bonded immediately with Koko. She took great care of our home and our dog. She’s dependable and we will use her again.”

“Another phenomenal dog sitting weekend with Holland. She loves our pup, Otis! We are very grateful for Holland’s willingness to socialize Otis at breweries, in town, or on the water!”

“Kayly bonded with our animals so quickly and helped us feel at ease with leaving our older animals at home. Her communication was frequent which we loved! Highly recommend Kayly!”
“Kevin took great care of Shohei and earned Shohei’s trust quickly! He ensured Shohei got good walks even in the cold. Kevin was very communicative with updates and was kind enough to put away our Butcher Box food delivery. Thank you!”

“Summar is a wonderful, thorough, and thoughtful pet sitter! She took excellent care of our senior dog for 11 nights in our home. We really appreciated the clear & detailed updates she provided, including great photos and descriptions of the puzzles and fun they had together that day. Summar is so professional, patient & kind, and didn’t bat an eye at our long list of instructions! Our dog was clearly so content and comfortable staying in our own home under Summar’s attentive and sweet care. This was our first time working with Summar, but certainly won’t be our last! Her commitment to both pets and people is unmatched.”

“Brenay was amazing! She took wonderful care of our little guy. After we booked her we learned that Dilly would need surgery before we left but Brenay stepped up to the challenge and was able to care for him and give him his medications while we were gone. She was very kind and communicative and left the house very clean. We will definitely use Brenay again!”

“Karachi is wonderful! She sent pictures and updates of our frenchie throughout the weekend. She even did the laundry! We will absolutely work with Karachi again!”

“Jennifer is a fantastic Pet Sitter. My dog can be a bit high maintenance, especially at first. You can always tell if your pet has had a nice time by their behavior once you get home, and my dog was as happy as can be highly recommend!!”

“Heidy took such good care of of our dog and cat while we were away. Our dog is anxious and does not like change and she was so happy being with Heidy, who stayed at our house to keep them company. We would definitely use Heidy again!”

“Meri did a super job for us. She's very caring with our dog and our dog loves her. She's also a joy to work with; she was flexible when our travel plan changed unexpectedly and we appreciated her kindness.”

“Absolutely fabulous! She is an outstanding communicator, sent tons of pictures, and took great care of an old dog and a neurotic one. 10000% would recommend and use again! 💕”

“Kymberlee was an amazing dog sitter! She sent me updates via the app. Always on time with the potty training. Very kind and thoughtful. Luna loved her. Definitely will book again!”
“Claudia and Omar were just great. They stayed with my dog for 5 days and I was was concerned at first that since my dog didn't really know them it might make her anxious. Not at all. She seemed like she barely noticed I was gone when I returned:(. My house was in the same shape as when I left so hard to know they were even there. Highly recommend them and will use them again when the occasion arises.”

“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!”

“Sabria was a lifesaver during our weeklong vacation over Fourth of July week. She stayed at our house with our dog and cat for a full week and took such great care of everything. Our dog is nervous and slow to warm up, and she was so caring and patient with him. Our cat can also be a picky customer and he was accepting head rubs from her almost right away. She kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the week and had great communication. She was very graceful during some technical difficulties with the house that were completely our fault. And she left the house spotless! She is an all around kind, compassionate person and we felt very comfortable knowing she was taking care of things while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Sabria for house and pet sitting and dog walking. She is the best!”

“Juan was ABSOUTLEY amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure my nephew Apollo’s was comfortable and loved. He also went even further resetting the whole house (cleaning dishes, comforter, etc.)! When ever Apollo is in VA I will always make sure I check if Juan is available first before looking for other sitters. Juan’s communication was also stellar! Sending pictures and constant contact which helped my anxiety tremendously. He followed my provided guide with flying colors and when Apollo got a little sick helped him back to perfect stool! Thank you so much Juan we really appreciate your care for animals and your attention to detail!”

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and children. While living in Colorado, I worked as a dog walker and nanny for families with large dogs and young children. Most of the dogs I cared for were medium to large breeds, and my experience ranges from puppies to senior dogs. Since moving to the DC area, I have continued working with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I also live with a cat at home, so I am comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available during weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting visits. At this time I am not able to host pets in my home, but I have reliable transportation and am happy to travel for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I am waiting on results from my bar exam and applying to jobs so I have flexibility during the week as well as on weekends. At this time I do not have the space to accommodate pets in my house, but I have transportation to do drop-ins and house calls.
“It takes a patient and calm person to patiently befriend and gain the trust of our dog. Sharon was great and adaptable and was also so great about keeping us updated on things while we were away. She also left a very sweet card and photos for us.”

Isabela was terrific. She came on short notice and took great care of our 90lb Pitbull Koda.. She sent photos and communicated well with important questions and updates. Not too mention how flexible she was, a friend of mine asked me if Isabela could watch her dog while watching Koda. Isabela took on another dog the next day while watching Koda! She didn’t miss a beat!
Here’s a polished five-star review you can use or tweak: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Faith was an amazing pet sitter! She was reliable, kind, and clearly cared deeply about my dogs. She kept me updated, followed all instructions, and made sure everything was taken care of while I was away. I felt completely at ease knowing my pets was in such loving and responsible hands. I would absolutely recommend Faith to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

Mary went above and beyond in taking care of our dog, Romeo, our 18 – year – Old Shih Tzu. Because of his aging issues, Romeo had a skin sore that began to bleed just as we left it was very concerning and became infected just after our departure Mary essentially saved Romeo‘s life, taking him to the vet administering medications over a week long period and nursing and back to health. When we got home, Romeo was in better condition than when we left, all thanks to Mary’s constant attention and care. She truly bonded with Romeo and demonstrated an affection that he needed during that hard time. She did this also while a construction crew was renovating the upstairs of our home, creating a ton of noise and a massive mess. She worked around these people, even helping keep a place tidy! Can’t say enough good things about Mary. We owe her big time!

We felt incredibly comfortable leaving Mazie with Marc and would recommend him to anyone! He took the time to meet us before hand and got to know Mazie so she was comfortable with him. Once he got to our place, he followed all the instructions, was quick to respond, and left our apartment in great shape.
