Kayla does it again! Thanks again Kayla. This is now our 3rd time using Kayla and although it is now pretty simple and routine she has gone above and beyond what is asked of her. She helped fix a situation where one of our kennels needed to be reinforced and she helped fix it without any issues. Would recommend and continue using her for our pets needs.

Anh took terrific care of our pups. She was responsive, sending daily updates and getting in touch with any questions she had about dog care. I absolutely recommend her for puppy care and will request her for future needs.

Ada was amazing!! This was my first time using the App and she made me feel so comfortable. She agreed to a meet and greet prior to my house sitting dates and my dogs loved her instantly. She was very communicative and kept me informed on everything. As this was my first time leaving my babies with anyone outside of family, we were all a bit nervous and hoping this was a good match. My mom even checked in with Ada and she was totally cool with. My mom and dog both have dogs and we are pretty certain Ada has 3 new clients. Ada maintained my home wonderfully. She really was patient with and understanding and I would recommend her 10/10, especially for new clients.

Aliyah was absolutely amazing with our two dogs! One of our dogs still has ‘puppy energy’ but she was calm and firm with her. And I swear my house was cleaner than when I left. We absolutely will be booking with her again!

Mya was fantastic. She watched our two rowdy puppies, one of whom is only 5 months, while my husband and I were away for our wedding. You could tell she genuinely loved our dogs and was taking such good care of them. We came home and the house was immaculate and our dogs were so happy. She was on time, communicative, and detailed. I would hire her again in a second!

About: Pups 'N Us Pet Care Services has proudly served pets and their families throughout the DMV area since 2021. As a family-owned business, we are committed to providing safe, reliable, and personalized care for every pet entrusted to us. I am currently pursuing a career in veterinary medicine as a Veterinary Technician and am Fear Free Certified, allowing me to provide care that prioritizes your pet's emotional well-being and comfort. My experience includes caring for puppies, senior pets, anxious pets, and pets with special medical needs. I am comfortable administering oral, topical, eye, and ear medications and have experience with ear cleanings, nail trims, bandage care, wound monitoring, and post-surgical support. Our goal is simple: provide a safe, enriching, and loving environment where pets can thrive while giving their families complete peace of mind. Pups 'N Us was also honored as a Neighborhood Favorite on Nextdoor in 2024, and we are grateful for the trust our community continues to place in us. My schedule allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, playtime, enrichment activities, and individualized attention throughout the day. I work hard to maintain your pet's normal routine whenever possible, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, exercise, and rest periods. Whether your pet enjoys active play or prefers a quieter environment, care is tailored to their unique personality and needs. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my highest priorities. As a Veterinary Technician and Fear Free Certified pet care provider, I understand how important it is to create a calm, low-stress environment where pets feel safe and secure. I carefully monitor all pets in my care and take time to learn their routines, preferences, and individual needs. I have experience caring for senior pets, puppies, anxious pets, and pets requiring medication administration. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and prioritize positive interactions, proper introductions, supervision, and plenty of opportunities for both enrichment and rest. I treat every pet as if it were my own and believe trust is earned through communication, reliability, and compassionate care. Pups 'N Us is a cage-free, open atmosphere. We allow all our paw pals to roam around the home as if it were their own. We treat all our guests as if they were our own pups. What sets us apart is not just our years of experience, but our commitment and love for community and family. We treat each pup as unique, catering to their specific needs and preferences while creating lifelong relationships with our pup parents. We are so happy that we get to meet so many new pups and their families. We are excited to welcome you all to the pack!

5+ stars. All the stars! Due to my schedule I couldn't do a meet and greet beforehand, but that didn't change anything. Our 3 Bullies LOVED her! You would've thought she had been with them before. I returned home to happy, safe, and exercised doggies! I had such peace just knowing they were taken care of. She has skills. Period!

About: I have been an animal lover as long as I’ve been alive. For 15 years I have been responsible for caring for a variety of animals but mainly Dogs and Cats. I have experience taking care of animals with a variety of medical issues. I understand the importance of consistency when it comes to caring for a pet in general but especially when they have health concerns. Comfortable around all breeds and sizes. Knowledgeable in leash training, potty training, and crate training. Just like people all animals have their own unique personality. Excited to care for your best friend like they were my own! I do occasionally work on the weekends so there could be 7-8 hour periods between me being with your pet. Would let you know my work schedule if that overlap with care. If no fenced in yard at residence will keep dog on a leash at all times outside the home. I am respectful of peoples homes since that is your safe space. My yard is fenced at my residence so if you wanted your pet to stay with me they would need to be comfortable around 2 fosters cats and children.

Bryan was amazing with my baby Sage! I literally just rescued her a week prior. She was heavily malnourished and untrained but full of love! When most Rovers would say no to a newly rescued pup, Bryan came to the rescue!!!! He sent pics of her and gave me updates, he had no problem calling or texting with questions. He is a saint and I couldn’t have asked for a better Rover!!

About: Hi! I’m Aquila — a caring, reliable pet sitter offering weekend and evening care for cats. I know pets are family, and I treat every animal with the same patience, love, and attention I’d want for my own. I am currently working full-time so before I go to work and make sure that my cat litter is changed she has enough food. And when I come home, I clean her litter box play with her and give her a bath. I live in an apartment so I have little corners where my cat goes and plays in or she comes in my room and I have a little playground for her.

About: I’ve always had a special bond with animals, and my family often trusts me to care for their dogs. I look forward to making you and your pets happy too. I have a wonderful Standard Poodle named Stormi Bless. Caring for pets is my part-time job while I’m also pursuing a degree in Criminal Justice. I’m confident I can build a strong connection with your dog and provide them with the love and attention they deserve. When I look after my family’s dogs, I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I’m always mindful of their needs, whether it’s time for a walk, a meal, or just some extra care. This is currently my part time job as I am in college as well. I currently take up criminal justice, but I am sure to connect with your dog and show them support. When taking care of my family pets I am sure to make sure their dogs get attention, love, and the play time they need. When a pet shows signs of needing a walk or it’s time for food I pay attention to it all.

Kayla was an amazing sitter for Asja during my time away! I am very particular about my dog and can normally gauge from the meet and greet if the sitter is a good fit. The care, attention to detail, follow up, professionalism, and the love she has for her job and her furry clients are just a few shining examples of her superior work ethic. We were gone for almost a week and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was there taking care of and giving the best of care to my Asja. I highly recommend Kayla and plan to use her for future sittings.

I am a first time Rover user, and was for a long time very wary of allowing strangers to take care of my fur babies. Roy, unequivocally, is the reason this site works. Roy communicated often, thoroughly, and was even patient when we had app difficulties and my communication lapsed. Roy took care of my two dogs and one cat and provided stimulation and lots of cuddles. We came home to a house that was pristine and three happy and healthy pets. As I told Roy personally, having the peace of mind to actually enjoy the vacation is nearly invaluable. We are very thankful to Roy and will definitely be booking again should the time come!

Absolutely incredible sitter!** I booked Trina F. over the Thanksgiving break (Nov 26–Dec 1), and her service was truly amazing from start to finish. She checked in constantly, sent regular photo and video updates, and always made sure I knew my fur baby was happy, safe, and well cared for. Her communication was fast, friendly, and reassuring — exactly what you hope for when leaving your pet with someone. I could tell she genuinely cared and treated my pup like her own. I came home to a relaxed, happy dog and a spotless space. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Trina went above and beyond, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly, highly recommend!
