“Samantha was amazing with my cat! I had an emergency because there was a fire alarm in my building and I panicked about my cat’s safety. I called Samantha and she immediately replied and stopped by to check in on my kitty after the regular daily visit. She made sure that he was ok and told me that the alarm was in the building next to mine. I was so relieved and so thankful to her for going the extra mile in this situation!!! She even offered to bring my cat to her place if necessary, which I really appreciated.”
“It is so reassuring leaving my cat with Aimee to sit!! She is very caring and I know he is in excellent hands. Thanks for everything, Aimee!!”

“Iryna was a wonderful sitter for my cat. She was very communicative and thorough. Maybe even more impressive, she engaged with my demanding, geriatric cat during her visits, getting her to play a little each day. My cat approved of her as well, eventually bestowing the great honor of letting Iryna pet her.”

“Jennifer is such a thoughtful and responsible pet sitter. Excellent communication and updates. I always know my cat is in good hands with her!”
“I cannot stress how much Jocelyn literally takes the weight off my shoulders. I could not ask for a better person to check on my kitties while I am out of town. A certified life saver.”
“Keira was communicative, helpful, and friendly. She did all necessary cat care, cleaned up unexpected messes, and sent pictures with our cat after every visit. Would recommend and would book again.”
About: I loved my pet from 8wks to 12 yrs old. He was the best friend I have ever had and so I have experience at all ages with pets. I grew up with cats and dogs and have always loved animals more than humans. I promise to protect, love and care for your best fur friends as I would my own. I currently work 8 hour days in the Alexandria area. I have wellness hours that vary but 3 times a week so may be available for lunch time walks depending on location. I am available for pet care any time after 3:30 pm ET and am mostly available weekends completely. I unfortunately cannot have pets in my apartment but am happy to love your pets and care for them in the comfort of their home. I am happy to tend to a specific diet - cook their meals or make sure they receive any specific medicines when they need them. I want your fur babies to feel safe and loved by me. I will gladly make sure I can accommodate your pups needs, whatever they may be.
“Kimberly was outstanding. She truly took the time to get to know my fur babies and they felt comfortable around her. My oldest cat needs a bit more care with his diabetes and Kimberly did an excellent job making sure he was cared for. My other cat is extremely shy and warmed up to Kimberly immediately. Kimberly gave me an update on every visit and sent photos to me of my cats. I would definitely recommend Kimberly for cat sitting needs. I liked her so much that I already booked Kimberly for when I am away again in a few weeks. ?????”
“Rachel is great! She is very willing to do the harder stuff like giving your animal medications. She’s responsive and thorough and she takes great care of our cat!”
