“Thank you Jess for being so sweet and patient with our shy kitty. It warmed our hearts seeing the pictures and videos you took of BeaBea, and we appreciated your efforts to coax her out of her hiding spots and play even if she stubbornly refused. Would 100% recommend to anyone seeking a pet sitter. Perhaps next time Bea will come out of her shell a bit more. Thanks again Jess!”
“Mya was incredibly communicative through the visit and diligent in taking care of our kitty. She sent photos and notes in the report cards, which we very much appreciated. She also went above and beyond recognizing when our kitty needed a little extra love. We would absolutely book with her again.”
“Where can I even begin with how amazing Aimee was?! This was my first time using Rover and leaving my cat, Spot, for 9 days while I was away. I was nervous since he gets anxiety but when I came home he was so happy and had 0 accidents while I was gone. Aimee checked in with me every single day and sent plenty of pictures and updates. It was such a relief to know he was in good hands and I will absolutely be using Aimee again and recommend her to anyone needing an awesome sitter! Very trustworthy and overall such a kind human being, Spot and I are both happy!”
“Maria was available on fairly short notice and took excellent care of my cats. Appreciated her detailed feedback after drop-ins. Would happily book again!”
“Mei was wonderful and punctual with my kitten and 4 year old kitty - i really appreciated all her help for their first extended period of time alone together without me there!”
“Very happy with Andre, he was laid back and approachable in our communications, and happy to wear a mask when I asked (important to me). Our cat is super skittish, so he never saw her, but made sure to feed her and even tried to give her some of her other food when it seemed she hadn’t eaten much of the first. Thoughtful and cares about animals for sure!”
“Erin popped in to check on our cats a few times throughout our two weeks away. Erin was so kind and responsive and I felt at ease knowing our cats were in good hands!”
About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats from a young age and have also been a loving dog mom to many boxers! I’ve moved far from home and have been missing my dogs, I am excited to watch and care for any dogs or cats in the area, promising to take good care of them and make sure they feel loved! I currently work full time during the week but I am available evenings during the week and any time on weekends for walks and to play with your pets! During the weekdays I am available after 4pm. I have a long history of walking and caring for dogs. When caring for dogs or cats in your home or when taking them on walks I will be sure to take precautions in order to keep your pets safe and happy.
“Thanks Melissa for watching Maggie (my cat) this weekend! I really appreciated the detailed summaries and photographs, and know Maggie was taken great care of. I’d highly recommend to anyone in need of pet care!”
“Angela was absolutely fantastic. She helped us on extremely short notice and was wonderful with our cats. I really appreciated her level of communication and would absolutely work with her again.”
“Anne has been taking care of my cats for years. She's reliable and a great communicator. I always know my fur-babies are in great hands with her.”

“Kaitlyn did a great job with my kitties again! She sent great updates and pictures and I can tell she gave them plenty of attention because they barely even registered that I was back. Thanks Kaitlyn!”
About: As a student living in Arlington and attending Georgetown University School of Medicine near by, I have an extremely flexible schedule and love to help out with whatever needs you may have. I have pet sat many animals in my neighborhood, including both cats and dogs. I love playing with all types of dogs and hope to get to know them well. I love to run in the area, so if you want your pup to get a little extra exercise, I can help with that too. I am easy to get in touch with and can change my schedule to whatever may work for you. I truly love spending time with animals, and I hope to provide nothing but the best for your pet.
