“Victoria was a great drop in sitter for my cat! Victoria is very easy to communicate with, both over messaging and on the phone. I knew my cat would be in good hands while I was away. Victoria provided details updates and photos during the visit. I’d rebook with Victoria in the future!”

“Mirren was so wonderful and helped me out with a last minute dog sitting need! I will definitely use her as a reliable dog sitter and walker in the future. Thanks again for your help!”

“Rut was great with Milo. She responded on very short notice for a first-time visit and we are so grateful. He’s an older guy who is very stubborn and she was very patient with him. Will definitely use her again in the future.”

“John did a fantastic job taking care of our 4 (!!) cats while we were away. He was super diligent about giving them the meds they need, and he sent us lots of adorable pictures. We look forward to booking with John again!”

“Savannah was so wonderful and easy to work with, and made me feel SO much better about leaving my cat for a couple of weeks! The regular photos and detailed check-ins lifted such a weight off my shoulders. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”

“Virginia was a such a lifesaver while I was gone! Not only did she play with and update me daily on my fur baby while I was away, but she was the perfect house guest - keeping the floors around the litter spotless and cleaning up my leftover dishes. She is now my go-to sitter. I’m so grateful to have found her!”

“Kyndall was a great dog walker/sitter. Always left a detailed report for check ins. Sent many videos and photos to me throughout the week. My dog son was in great hands. Will be booking again!”

“Walker was very responsive, and was wonderful with our previous Bread. Highly recommend if you are looking for someone reliable and trustworthy to sit for your pet!”

“Adrienne always leaves detailed River cards with great pictures. She took wonderful care of our two cats while we were out of town. We will definitely book Adrienne again!”

“Hana was so patient with my older, anxious dogs! She was very descriptive in her debrief and took lots of great photos. I know my dogs were in fantastic hands with Hana.”

About: I’ve raised four cats and lived with plenty of others over the years. I’m also an experienced dog walker and a friend to pretty much every animal I meet! I recently relocated to the DC area and am currently between jobs, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available 7 days a week and can accommodate a variety of schedules and pet-care needs. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’ll follow your instructions, keep a close eye on your pet, communicate clearly & often, and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Tobias was great! He came through last minute for us as our regular sitter had to back out of sitting due to an emergency, and did super great with our pup!”

“Jamie is my go-to whenever my dog needs a visitor or walk when I can’t be there. She’s fantastic — whether my pup is feeling lazy or has the zoomies. She’s super communicative and can fill in on last minute notice. My dog loves her and don’t know what I would do without her!”

“Jenna and Matthew are very consistent, considerate, and communicative!! We will be using them with our cats as long as they continue to offer drop-in visits!”

“Couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Erin was reliable, caring, and sent us daily pics and updates. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pets were happy and well cared for. We would absolutely have Erin look after them again!”

“Priscilla helped us not only with our furry boys, but with other not-cat related matters, when we were away more than once! The stress of changing plans and canceling flights is easier when you you have someone like Priscilla on your side. A person who understands all that and will always meet you half way is priceless! I am infinitely glad and grateful that we found her in DC!”

“While I didn’t actually get to meet Edmond and Nafis, they were very easy and pleasant to work with. They were also accommodating when my trip got unexpectedly extended. I got detailed summaries of each visit and lots of pictures which always puts my mind at ease! I will definitely be booking them again in the future.”

Jesse is so caring and sweet with my puppy, Bellini. He came every day for a week to let her out at lunch and go for a walk. He was always on time, very responsive, and took lots of photos! Even when she had an upset stomach and had an accident, he took such great care of her and cleaned up an unfortunate mess. We will definitely book with Jesse and his wife again! Our Bellini has a new best friend!

My puppy Vela loved Sarah! Sarah was prompt, communicative, detail-oriented, and kind. She made time for a meet and greet before her first drop-in to get to know Vela and better meet her needs. She provided updates and pictures, so I knew everything was going well. Thank you Sarah!

Sarah has consistently been great in taking care of Lily even in times she has needed extra special care instructions if she was sick. I'm glad Sarah has been available to give Lil extra care and attention when I couldn't be there. I certainly will continue requesting Sarah's rover services in the future! Your pet will love her as much as Lil does!

Five stars isn’t enough for Sarah. She’s fast to respond, incredibly kind, and takes phenomenal care of our pets. Her updates are detailed and reassuring, and both of our extremely shy and skittish cats are completely comfortable with her. It’s obvious she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. If you need a sitter who’s dependable and amazing, Sarah is it.

Gi has watched our cat Ginny many times, most recently during our wedding and honeymoon. We were able to celebrate without worrying, because we always know Ginny is in great hands with Gi! She is always communicative and sends the cutest pictures. Thank you Gi!

Hera was amazing to work with, I had an unexpected work trip and needed to book drop in visits the same day and the day after. Hera accepted the booking request super fast and asked questions to make sure we were aligned on what she needed to do. She sent me great photos of Milo and I felt totally comfortable with her. Will definitely book with her again!

Haviland took great care of my three cats. I booked on short notice, and have three cats with very different temperaments. Haviland cared for each of them as they needed to be cared for, took fantastic photos, and followed all my instructions. I will definitely be using them again!
