“Joanna and Gilbert took very good care of Snowy. They were very mindful of his feeding and walking schedule. Joanna was also very prompt with communication which I really appreciate.”


“Emily is such a great sitter she is accomidating and understadning. Winston loves going there and once he realizes where he is doing he tries pulling me to her building. Safe to say he likes his day care time with Emily”


“It was my first time using Rover and I’m so happy I did! Sabrina was so quick to respond and accommodating when my work schedule ran later than expected. Zina is also wore out in the best way, the photos I got from Sabrina completely explain why Zina is so wore out lol she played so much and enjoyed her time there. Would book again if ever in the DC area again!”


“Asma agreed to watch Otis on short notice and was so communicative from the start to the end of every day Otis was with her. Got lots of pictures of otis and at the end of both days he was tired from walks and playing. Would definitely recommend Asma as a pet sitter.”


“Sky was AMAZING! She sent a ton of photos and made me feel 100 percent comfortable with leaving Olive with her. I could tell immediately she was an amazing dog mom to her own fur babies and knew her stuff when it came to dogs. Olive can be difficult to walk with and Sky even got her to walk for her. Already rebooked. If you are looking for a dog sitter - Sky is great. She also was very understanding when I was running late and her communication is stellar.”


About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and it ignited my passion to become a veterinarian—something I’m currently diving into with excitement! I adore animals like they’re my new best friends, and working with all sorts of creatures has filled my heart since I was a little girl. Now, getting the opportunity to do what I love feels like a dream come true! I’ve had incredible experiences grooming pets, administering medicine, and ensuring their daily needs are met—each moment is an adventure! I even got certified as a canine attendant, which was an amazing milestone for me! Plus, it’s not just me; my whole family joins in on the fun with pet sitting! If you ever worry about your furry baby when they’re in my care, put those fears aside! We are all passionate about providing love, respect, and the very best care for every furbaby we encounter. We’re dedicated to making tails wag and hearts happy! 😊 I’m currently a college student so having a routine for myself and my fur baby is a must in my books! I love to experience meeting new personalities with animals as I do people. Although I am young (I like to hang out with my friends of course) I still try to insert my pet into my fun through a safe manner. With me, there’s always room for a fur baby to tag along and enjoy themselves as much as they can. My family consists of a lot of kids and puppies so whenever your pet is here they are always on the go. I try to keep your fur baby as active as possible especially if they’re a high energy baby. Just know your baby is gonna be living a dream life in my care!
