“Mirren was a dream. During our meet and greet, she was attentive to our directions and sweet to our pooches. She communicates well and often and wasn't afraid to ask questions. I really appreciated her easy going manner and ability to deal with unexpected hiccups. We would definitely use her again!”

“Katelyn was a perfect sitter for our 5 year old dog Waylon! She provided great photos and updates, took him for walks, and had my mind totally at ease during our weekend vacation. I could tell Waylon was very happy when we came home! She also took wonderful care of our home. I will definitely be reaching out for future dog sitting!”

Lula was clearly well cared for and happy when I got home, and the house was in perfect shape to boot! Thanks Brooke, we hope you’ll agree to sit Lu again in future!”

About: Recently relocated to DC. I have broad experience with a wide range of animals including dogs, cats, and reptiles. As your pet sitter I will ensure all their needs are met. Looking to spend time with pets before I get my own. My schedule is very open while I continue job searching. Happy to stay with your pets over night or days at a time if needed. I prioritize security and transparency above everything else. You can expect pictures and updates with each visit and I will be sure to notify you if anything happens.

“They were absolutely great with watching my little yorkie. Before the sitting they were very diligent about setting up a meet and greet. During the meet and greet we did a practice walk and went over the stay. During the stay they were so sweet and kind to my girl. At one point my yorkie wasn't feeling well and they took my yorkie to the emergency vet and stayed there with her until I could get there. I highly recommend!!! They are a wonderful and caring sitter.”

About: As the proud dog mom of Iroh, my 130-pound American Bully XL, I know firsthand that our dogs are so much more than pets; they're family! Caring for him has given me extensive hands-on experience with large, strong breeds, but my love for dogs extends to pups of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I've gained valuable experience managing everything from daily walks, feeding routines, and enrichment activities to more specialized care. Having supported Iroh through two major orthopedic surgeries, I understand the importance of patience, careful handling, restricted activity, and attentive recovery care. I'm also familiar with administering oral medications, managing allergies and sensitive skin, and adapting routines to a dog's individual needs. What sets me apart is that I'm genuinely passionate about dogs and understand how important it is to trust someone with your four-legged family member. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with some company and cuddles, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll treat your dog with the same attention, affection, and care I give Iroh! I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the dogs in my care! Whether your pup needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, or some extra companionship throughout the day, I'm happy to accommodate their routine. As a longtime dog owner, I'm already accustomed to structuring my days around walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I understand how important consistency is for dogs, and I'm happy to adapt to their individual needs and preferences. My goal is to make sure every pup receives the attention and care they deserve while you're away! I understand that welcoming someone into your home requires a great deal of trust, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I'll treat your home with the same care and respect as my own, always cleaning up after your pet and myself, keeping things tidy, and making sure everything is left in the same condition as I found it, if not better! My goal is for you to return to a happy, well-cared-for pet and a clean, welcoming home. When it comes to your furry family member, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I believe that keeping pets in their familiar environment, surrounded by their usual routines, helps them feel secure and relaxed while you're away. I'll take the time to understand your pet's personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medical requirements, and any household rules or preferences. As the proud owner of a large dog with his own medical needs, I'm particularly attentive to safety, secure doors and gates, proper leash handling, and recognizing changes in behavior or well-being. I'm also comfortable administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions. Communication is equally important to me. I'll provide regular updates and photos, respect your privacy, and make sure you're always informed about how your pet is doing. Above all, I want you to feel completely confident that both your beloved companion and your home are in responsible, caring, and trustworthy hands.

She was punctual, followed all of my directions (Daisy was on medication after a few very unexpected vet visits!) and was patient with her during her stubbornness of not wanting to be outside. I sincerely appreciated her being flexible with us and Daisy was well cared for and seemed to have had a great day!”

This was another fantastic rebook with Anika! She is hands-down the best at cat sitting. Her communication is amazing—I loved getting regular picture updates while I was out of town. It gives me total peace of mind knowing my cat is in such trustworthy hands!

This was the first time Christina took care of our two dogs, but it won’t be the last! The weekend seemed to go very well, and communication was good. Our dogs can be very reactive at times and she was able to win their trust and it wasn’t long before they were sitting on her lap!

Megan did an incredible job watching our two medium to large sized dogs - Ades and Tilli. She kept us updated every morning and evening with tons of photos. We were able to enjoy our trip because we knew our doggos were in the best hands. Additionally, she even took our dogs on a little hike in Rock Creek. It's clear she has a genuine love for dogs and is very organized and responsible. We would highly recommend Megan!!!

For the first time in a long time, we actually relaxed on a trip. That’s all because of Daniel. Our Orso has epilepsy and needs meds twice a day, so finding someone we trust completely is a big deal. Daniel stayed at our house for five days and never missed a beat. He handled Orso’s medication perfectly, and he took the time to learn how to give rescue meds in case of a seizure. Knowing Orso was in hands that capable meant everything to us. He didn’t stop at the essentials, either. Orso and Kipfel got two walks every day and endless games of ball, and Daniel sent us regular updates so we could see how much fun they were having. Our dogs were happy, healthy, and clearly in good company. We came home to a spotless house and two tails wagging like crazy. Daniel, thank you. You gave us peace of mind and gave our boys a great five days. We’ll be booking you again, and we’re telling all our friends.

Our House Sitting with James H went great! It was the first time we used Rover and James was very helpful helping me understand how everything works. Setting things up, James was super organized and clear about all the details. He asked me lots of questions about our dog, Reggie, and our cat, L'il Kitty. During the House Sitting, James sent lots of pictures of our pets and provided updates on how everything was going. He did a great job of following our typical routines and bringing Reggie on walks and to the dog park. His love of dogs and experienced ways with them really showed through with his kind interactions with Reggie. I would recommend James to anyone who needs someone to look after their dog.
