“Elizabeth is extremely communicative and professional. She gives lots of updates and always make sure to let me know of their day. I feel very comfortable leaving and knowing my dog is well cared for.”


“Alison did a great job taking care of my cat for the week. She is punctual, reliable, and great at sending updates throughout the day. I really appreciated that she took care of my cat’s basic needs but also took time to give him love and attention.”

“Amanda was great with our cat. She was very attentive to our care instructions and got along well with the cat who is usually very shy. She sent us numerous pictures each visit to show how the cat was doing. She was clearly happy, healthy, and relaxed in Amanda’s care. I would definitely request her again the next time we need a cat sitter.”

“Tricia visited and walked our puppy while we were out of town for almost 2 weeks. She was reliable and communicated with us throughout the time we were gone. We will definitely utilize her services again!”

“Phoebe is an amazing pet sitter - she is always reliable, punctual, and provides daily updates with photos. We highly recommend Phoebe for her caring and professional service. Smokey loves her!”

“I’ve used Christina during my vacations and even emergency needs for two years now. She has always been very approachable and flexible! She has always shown my cats so much love and attention during her visits with cuddles and play time. I would recommend Christina to anyone for their pet sitting needs!”

“Trent did amazing! He was very responsive in the booking and pet sitting process. All of the animals are happy and healthy after his time watching them, Poppy the dog loves everyone, but the fact that Cassie the cat let him pet her and Lyra the other cat let him SEE her is very telling of his character. Highly recommend.”

About: I currently have an open schedule and can come walk and play with your dogs and cats as early or as late as you would like! I am flexible. I've just moved to Vienna, live alone, and have an open schedule. I am flexible and reliable, and would love to play with and care for your dogs and cats! I took care of up to 5 cats and 1 human, simultaneously, for 14 years. They received a lot of my love and attention. We spent lots of time in nature trails, our backyard, and on the couch. And now I'm happy to extend that to your dogs!
“Michael was prompt and responsive and took great care of Mindy, adjusting to her needs. There were a couple unexpected surprises along the way - one major one which we also did not expect while away - and that was gardeners in the back yard…which Mindy wasn’t very happy with - but Michael swooped in and dealt with it as well as he could, and remained professional. From the pictures, Mindy seemed to enjoy their time together. We would invite Michael back again!”

“Teodora took such wonderful care of our dogs! She sent us pictures of our babies to show us what a good time they were having. We will definitely have Teodora take care of our dogs again.”
“Chloe was fantastic! I was traveling with Winnie, a Boykin Spaniel puppy, and I had to stop for a few days of Work in the DC Metro. Chloe came over to the hotel and made sure that Winnie was fed, watered, walked and entertained while I worked all day. I'm sure this was a unique situation but Chloe made it work and did an excellent job. I highly recommend using Chloe, Thank you so much!”


“Ihana was excellent with our dogs Lexi and Jack while we were traveling. We look forward to having her take care of them whenever we are traveling in the future! She followed all of the instructions that we left for her and is totally professional. I highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs!”

About: Safely get my Persian cats over multiple infections and spay. Highly aware of cats discomfort and symptoms/issues. Attention to details and following careful instructions if needed. I work from home three days a week. I am very reliable and accessible when you need help. I generally have time after 5pm on weekdays and free during weekend. I love driving around, going on hikes and parks, biking and snowboarding. I always make sure I take pictures and communicate. I will always ask for preferences and special needs. I proactively clean the house to make sure the environment is on spot for pets. I am very proactive in terms of communication.
About: I’ve cared for dogs&cats since elementary school. I’d find myself naturally responsible for feeding, walking, cleaning, and loving them. I’ve done cat sitting for a friend for as long as a month, and dog sitting basically all my life since I grew up them. I’m experienced in caring for pups less than a year old, and older dogs as well~ I worked at Dogtopia where I handled over 40 dogs in one room! I have experience handling dog scuffles and managing dog behavior. My current schedule is open and free Sunday through Saturday. The holidays being an exception as I will be out of town for the week of Christmas. I am prepared to meet the needs of your 4-legged loved one in any way that they need. Request and I will deliver as best as I can. I believe our furry friends deserve respect and have boundaries as we do.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has always shared my home with at least one dog. Caring for pets has been second nature to me since childhood, and I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality. From 2019–2022, I worked seasonally at a dog daycare/boarding/grooming facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes and ages with a wide range of needs. My experience includes supervising group play with up to 15 dogs, maintaining clean and safe play areas, and providing attentive, individualized care. Lately, I have enjoyed spending time walking dogs (off Rover) and volunteering at the Fairfax Humane Society. Communication is crucial, especially when it comes to your furry family member, so I enjoy keeping pet parents updated with photos, messages, and honest check-ins to build trust and peace of mind while you’re away. I’m endlessly curious and love learning more about animals, and I’ll treat your pet like one of my own, keeping them safe, happy, and loved every step of the way! I am currently employed full-time at a nonprofit association in DC, but I work from home on Monday's and Friday's. This allows those days to be more flexible. I would love to have a furry companion on my walks after work or during my lunch break on M/F. Since I am unable to have a pet in my apartment (though I desperately want one), I look forward to spending time with yours as if they were my own. I will treat you, your home, and your fur baby with respect and compassion.

Thank you Alison for the fantastic photos and detailed information about the information I’ve conveyed I care the most about. And going above and beyond and my baby boy (cat) leans into you even without prolonged exposure or time btw you two which means you give off good cat instincts :) thank you for doing what you do! I trust you in my house and w my boy :)

Eliza is the best! She just gets it, and you can tell as soon as you meet her. She knows how to make even nervous dogs feel comfortable, gives each dog individualized care tailored to their temperament, didn't mind a high maintenance picky eater, sent lots of pics, made me feel so secure they were in good hands! Can't sing her praises enough

Virginia was great with our two cats while we were away for our wedding, it was great to have peace of mind that they were in good hands. She very clearly loves cats and treated them with so much respect from their very first meeting! She also gave us updates through the Rover app each visit letting us know what mischief the cats got up to!
