About: I’ve had pets my entire life and although I currently don’t have any of my own, I miss them dearly and need some fur love in my life. Experience with all ages (including seniors)! I work a 9-5 but am fully remote, so I am available to stop by midday to care for your pet, can stop by before work or in the evening, or adapt to your scheduling needs! I am comfortable adapting my pet care to your family’s needs! I can crate your dog, ensure your cat only has access to certain rooms, or make sure your fish remains in the tank (lol)

“Caden was a reliable and reaponsible petsitter. He was rewponsive and flexible when plans kept changing and game to give medicine when last minute need arose. Highly recommend”

“Tamara was amazing, one of our cats is usually scared of new people and she must’ve had an extremely calm presence because he came out right away, ate all his food, and even came up to her for close ups! She left the place clean and tidy, washing the cats’ bowls clean after their meals. Thanks, Tamara, and definitely looking forward to having you check in on our cats the next time we need someone!!”

“Caris was amazing. I was really nervous about leaving my cat Carl for so long but after the first visit I knew Carl was in good hands. Caris provided very detailed visit reports with lots of pictures, so I could see Carl was happy and given lots of attention. When there was a potential issue with the auto feeder she informed me right away and was able to confirm that the feeder was working properly. I highly recommend Caris and will definitely be rebooking in the future!”

“Chelsea is reliable and amazing with cats! She’s very thorough and won the trust of my shy, reserved cat. I’d recommend her to anyone who needs cat care.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and with a variety of needs. Volunteer with humane rescue alliance in DC since 2024 (can provide verification upon request) and certified to work with “blue” dogs. I regularly interact and sit for my brother and friends’ cats! Lots of references available! I’m a teacher on summer break with a flexible schedule during the day! I will be proactive, communicative, and honest with you about my schedule. I will take care of your pet as if they are my own. You can expect lots of cute photos and check ins (if desired), and a happy & healthy dog or cat when you reunite. :)
“Jose was incredible - he was super responsive, sent me lots of photos, and was always prompt with the drop-ins. My cats were in such good hands and I will absolutely rebook.”

“This was the third time we booked Ann and we couldn't be happier with her professionalism, attention to detail and love for our cats! Her detailed and funny daily reports helped our separation anxiety and the cats seem to have taken to her very well.”

“Alexander stepped in for a last-minute drop in and did great. He sent a lot of pictures, and I returned to find my cat with sufficient food, water, scraped litter, etc. Thanks Alexander!”


“Jackie was so helpful for our little pup! She was very easy to check in with and made our first time having someone new watch our puppy go seamlessly!”


“Molly was great with our pup. She helped us out last minute when our other sitter had to cancel and I will definitely book her again. She followed all of our care instructions and sent a detailed summary of her visit.”
“Charlie was absolutely fantastic! Luna is usually very shy, but she seemed a lot more social this time. Charlie took great care of her and gave us detailed updates during our trip. We were both very happy and would definitely book again. Thank you so much!”

“Nick is always the best with my diabetic and asthmatic cat. My cat is very affectionate and craves attention and Nick finds a way in his busy schedule to spend some time giving him a bit of what he needs. Thank you Nick as always!!”
“Abigail took such great care of my two floofs in the afternoons. They loved her! She was available last minute multiple times, took them on great walks and wore them out just enough for a great afternoon nap. I got comfortable enough with her that I didn’t even worry anymore and was able to focus on my work. Very kind and reliable sitter!”

“Sarah was great with Layla! She was very responsive and was able to facetime last minute. She was timely and a great communicator. Will definetely reach out again in the future! Thanks Sarah!”

“William is an excellent sitter! He is great with communication and with animals. You will not be disappointed. I was at peace throughout my entire vacation thanks to him.”

About: I have been trusted to take care of dogs, cats, and even birds since I was 12. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to provide loving care to their pets. I am dedicated to providing individualized care to your pet, based on their needs. I am newly pursuing a masters degree and maintaining part-time work. I am excited that this transition has allowed me to commit more availability to Rover. My calendar is reflective of my availability when I am not in-person at work or at school. I love walking around the city and spending time with animals, so caring for your pets is something that I look forward to incorporating into my new routine! I have been trusted to care for pets in their owners’ homes since I was 12. I will show you and your home respect as I provide loving care to your pet.
“Leigh did a great job of taking care of my two cats while I was away! Very communicative, she followed instructions and everything went very well! I would be happy to have her back to care for my boys another time :)”

About: hi! I’ve had dogs in the family my whole life, and more recently had roommates with dogs and cats (equal love to both) left home in my loving care. now, I’m in a pet free building and miss the fun company. I’m familiar with both dogs and cats and mostly want to spend some time with either, playing or walking, but also open to longer-term pet sitting. I work from home Monday/Thursday/Friday, and I walk myself like a dog, so I’d be happy to have a companion to take along or somewhere to stop for a little pet playtime. I can also do before or after work on Tuesday/Wednesday, and flexible on weekends! I will not break into your house! treat others how you want to be treated! communication is key! I'll care for your pets + your home like a close, but not too-close, friend's. if you have specific questions, ask me!

I'm so glad to have been able to book Russell for a second round of visits! Russell visited my two cats every day for nearly a month and took great care of them. He sent daily visit photos which put my mind at ease. On the day of my return my flight was delayed over 5 hours, and Russell very kindly made an extra visit to my guys to make sure they were fed and watered despite my delay. My cats and I loved having Russell!
Highly recommend booking with Emma! She took fantastic care of our two cats during her visits. She went above and beyond by taking the litter out to our outdoor trash and keeping our plants watered, too. It gave us total peace of mind knowing both our pets and our home were in such good hands. We would definitely hire her again!

Catherine did a great job with my cat! She provided detailed updates after each visit, took care of more delicate tasks like cleaning his ears, and kept the wet food autofeeder, litter box, trash, and kitchen sink very clean. Definitely someone I’d call again for drop-in visits.
