“Nicole was absolutely amazing. So kind, thoughtful and attentive. We had to worry about nothing while she was caring for our babies. I would highly recommend to anyone and we will definitely be booking in the future”


“Very good with communication, was on time, and even got my Mocha to play and gave her lots of cuddles and love! Absolutely adore Pond. I look forward to Mocha having future visits with him! 5 🌟”


“Sharmily is great! Takes loads of pictures and documents all that happened in the visit. Best of all Shiro has really started to like her so perfect pet sitter for us!”


“Grace responded quickly to my request and was patient with me while I had a crazy day when my normal sitters were not available! She followed all the instructions perfectly after a quick phone call and I could tell my kitty was happy with how quiet he was when I got home! Truly appreciative of sitters like Grace who can make themselves available in times like this and would definitely use her again! Dusty would be happy to see you :)”


“Since the day I booked Camila, she was excellent!! I loved the fact that she asked if we could talk prior to her visits. It made us feel so good because she took that extra time to know more about the kitties. Our little fue babies loved her!!! We are extremely happy with her and, will absolutely book her again.”



“Gregg was fantastic. He’s knowledgeable about animal care, he’s super nice, and worked well with all of the instructions we left. We were just grateful to find someone to help us when our regular sitter was out, but Gregg turned out to be 10x better than we could’ve hoped for.”


About: I’ve been an animal lover since a kid, and am excited to care for your pet! I’m a grad student in MD and am a proud pet parent of 2 Yorkie-mix dogs. I have experience with pet feeding, long walks, and fun playtime. I’m also comfortable administering medications and caring for dogs of all sizes. My husband and I are fairly flexible, and I often work from home. We have a large backyard where your dog(s) can safely play and enjoy the outdoors. I’m a grad student who has a very flexible schedule. I walk the dogs around 7:30am, brush their teeth, and set out their food. I also go on midday walks so they are mentally and physically stimulated. My husband takes the dogs out for long walks in the evenings as well. We are happy to include your pets into this schedule or add any additional care into this routine per your request and/or according to your pet’s needs. I have a large yard and 2 lovable pups that can keep your dog(s) company. We go on frequent walks and bathroom breaks around our quiet neighborhood and have tons of play space around the house. I am happy to honor any requests to care for one family’s pets at a time, and will absolutely treat your pet(s) as if they were my own.

“Lindsay is awesome! On time and super communicative. Her comfortability with Kai and overall experience is very comforting and Kai loved her. Looking forward to booking again soon!”


“Ashley is lovely! She braved bad weather and protestors to check in on my Minnie every day, always giving her lots of attention and keeping me well supplied with pictures. Highly recommend!”


“We love Amy! Have used here multiple times for short and long visits. Both our cats love her (the shy one even finally letting someone besides us give him pets!). Can't recommend enough!”


“We really appreciate Zach being available and taking such good care of our three cats and our one foster cat! He navigated our house well and treated all the cats with tenderness. Thank you!”


About: I took care of our two family dogs while I was growing up, and I also had many other pets such as hamsters, rats, guinea pigs, and rabbits. In highschool, I volunteered at the ASPCA in their "exotic animals" department, where I cared for rabbits, guinea pigs, and occasionally birds or reptiles. As an adult, I have helped several roommates care for their dogs and cats. I don't have pets of my own at the moment, so I love to spend time with other people's! I am currently a grad student at GWU with classes Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings, so I am free most mornings and afternoons to care for pets, as well as some evenings! I offer care for dogs, cats, rodents, birds, and reptiles, including home stays, dog walks, and giving time and attention. I am meticulous about personalized care and following instructions to meet your pets' needs.

About: I love pets! My family had a dog and lots of cats growing up so my love of and familiarity with pet care is deep. I have yet to become the mom of a furry as an adult, but I always look for opportunities to spend time with friends who are per parents. I would love to play and cuddle with your little love. I’m new to this app, but DEFINITELY not new to loving pets. I’d love to meet your sweet one. I have time after work on Fridays, all day Saturday and Sunday to board your pets. I am an elementary school teacher who is looking for furry company on the weekends. I'd love to be with your pets for a bit! I will make sure your pets feel safe, secure and loved. A typical day with me and your pet would involve reading their signs. If they want to play I am always ready to play catch or use a toy to engage with your animal. If they'd rather exist in a more calm place I can simply be a safe presence nearby. If they'd like to cuddle, I'm their gal! If I'm boarding your pet, they'll get to enjoy my big backyard. If your pet enjoys the outdoors we can be outside a good bit even after we take a walk, depending on the weather.

“Valeria was great! One of the pups is a grumpy old man and I get nervous about leaving him with people, but Valeria was able to manage him well! Would definitely recommend!”


“Rebeca was great in every way! She was on time, followed all of my instructions carefully and she was very respectful of our house! But most importantly she was so loving and caring to my senior dog! I would definitely recommend working with Rebeca to anyone and I know I certainly will again in the future!”
