Couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Elise was kind, punctual, and attentive to all my cat's needs. She put my mind at ease while I was away on vacation.

About: Hi, I’m Megan! I’m a full-time remote Digital Marketing Specialist with an active lifestyle and a passion for pets. I’ve been walking dogs and caring for pets since 2021, with experience handling dogs of all sizes and ages. I grew up with a family dog (black lab) and am now a proud pet aunt to a corgi named Betty, a golden doodle named Archie, and a black cat named Vivi. While I don’t have pets of my own, I love every opportunity to care for yours through Rover. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I create an stress-free, fun environment where they feel comfortable and loved. Feel free to reach out anytime — I’m a quick responder and can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! Since I’m fully remote, my schedule is pretty flexible depending on my meetings. I’ll make sure to keep my calendar updated so you can easily book the times that work for you and your pet. I am not allowed pets in my apartment but can go to the fur baby’s home to watch and care for them! I am located in Courthouse.

Heather was wonderful with my 2 cats when disaster struck at home in MN and I had to go out of town on very short notice - she really gave me the peace of mind I needed during a very tough time. She made sure my girls were taken care of and she took some lovely pictures of the one that was brave enough to come out to greet her. She clearly loves animals and I appreciated her accommodating my needs on such short notice.

About: I have fifteen years of pet sitting and care experience, to include drop-ins, walks, feedings, litter box cleaning and overnight stays. When I was little, I wanted to be a veterinarian, and then a zoologist. Neither career panned out, but my love for animals remained. Now I get my fill of furry friends by providing excellent, worry-free care for your pets! As a proud mom of three urban hens, I know how nerve-wracking it is to be away from a beloved pet. That’s why I provide frequent updates and pictures to my clients so that they can go about their workdays or trips without anxiety. I specialize in cats, dogs and birds. I can’t wait to meet your pet! I am currently freelancing part-time, which provides me with an extremely flexible schedule to care for your pets! From walks to drop-ins to overnight stays, I can provide a variety of services to DMV pet owners When in your home whether for a drop-by or overnight stay, I am committed to making your pet feel as comfortable and happy as possible in the absence of their person/people. I follow my clients’ instructions and specifics of their pets’ routines, and follow them closely. I also provide lots of love and cuddles (or love from afar for pets that don’t like to be touched!)

About: Hi, I’m Katie! I’ve been dog sitting since 2021, and I’ve cared for dogs of different ages, sizes, and breeds, including puppies and senior dogs. I have experience helping multiple families with their pets and understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. What sets me apart is that I genuinely love being around dogs and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while their owners are away. I also work from home which gives me the flexibility to take dogs out during the day, stay on top of feeding schedules, and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. In addition to dog sitting, I’ve been around dogs for many years through my own family and previously lived with dogs as well, so caring for them feels very natural to me. I work from home every day so I will have time to take care of your dogs all throughout day. I’m available to walk, feed, and watch your dogs every weekday. I would let pets roam or lay around my apartment and play with them when I have the time. If needed, I can put them in a crate, but I do enjoy their company.

Simone is a wonderful person to check on your furbabies! I loved that Simone would send in pictures and let us know each day how our cats were doing. I also loved thst Simone was very responsive to any questions and made adjustments if we both noticed something was off. Like we both noticed only one food bowl was empty but Simone moved the water bowl and that fixed the problem! If you want someone you can trust, look no further!

Tasneem was the perfect sitter! Since we hadn’t met before, we did a meet and greet before the stay, which was an extra step I really appreciated. She was very communicative setting up the meeting, and when I sent care instructions shortly before my stay. Each time she checked on my cat Klaus, Tasneem wrote a nice report and took tons of pictures. I could tell from all the updates that Klaus warmed up to her quickly, and that she was taking great care of him. I was able to relax on my week-long trip knowing she’d be there consistently! I would absolutely book with Tasneem again, and I’d strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, dependable sitter!

Tiffanie was extremely attentive and thorough in her care of Moxie. She shared detailed reports, plenty of pictures, and cleaned up hairballs. Our cat took to her immediately, greeting her at the door both days and seemed to really love pets and cuddles with Tiffanie. Tiffanie was so prompt in communication with booking and made the entire process from request to visit seamless and easy. I'd absolutely have Tiffanie catsit again!

This is my third time booking Maha and each time has been wonderful. Maha is attentive, going above and beyond to give them care and handling tasks like bringing in packages and scooping the litter regularly. I can tell that my kitties have been so well cared for each time I come home. When I say I plan to rebook, I fully mean it and I highly recommend her next time your fur-babies need care!

Sarah was such a great caretaker for my cat Punch Bowl while I was away! She gave me peace of mind while I was gone by playing with him, petting him, and giving him treats. I felt really comfortable with Sarah checking in on him and she is clearly a huge animal lover- Punch Bowl seemed super comfortable with her!

I had an excellent experience with Zoey and would absolutely book with her again. Before my trip, she took the time to come to my apartment to meet my cats, get familiar with their routines, and make sure she understood all of the care instructions. That gave me a lot of confidence before leaving. During every drop-in visit, she sent detailed updates along with plenty of photos, which gave me peace of mind and let me know my cats were doing well. It was clear she genuinely cared about their well-being and paid attention to how they were behaving each day. She also went above and beyond by keeping everything clean, taking care of the litter boxes, and tidying up after my cats during her visits. When I returned home, my cats were happy, well cared for, and my apartment was just as clean as I had left it. I highly recommend Zoey to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and compassionate pet sitter. She made traveling completely stress-free, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.

Sam did an awesome job of taking care of Teddy for over 2 weeks. Teddy was our new rescue and we were a bit nervous leaving him since he is still a bit skittish. This was also our first time using Sam. But the daily love-fest of photos put us at ease right away. We got to see Teddy was receiving the best of care and loving. When we got home, it was evident that Teddy was the happiest we’ve ever seen him. Thank you Samantha! ❤️
