Pet Sitting Foggy Bottom

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, especially cats, so I naturally understand their needs and unique personalities. Even though I’ve never owned a dog of my own, I’ve cared for many dogs through friends and family — from puppies who need full attention to older dogs who need extra patience and care. I also have experience giving pets oral medication, so I’m comfortable following special routines. My goal is to always give each pet the same love, comfort, and attention I’d want for my own! I am currently a full-time student at Howard University so I have class everyday. With any free time I have on my hands not studying or in class, I’d love to help! Im happy to take your pets on walks, give them fresh food and water, and spend quality time with them so they feel cared for while you're away. Im gentle and attentive, making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Building trust is very important to me, and treat one like my own! :)

“Virginia responded quickly and provided great last minute service due amid bad weather. I would absolutely book again to care for my cats. Thank you!!”

“Heather was wonderful when she checked in on my cats while I was on vacation. She provided an update and photos every day, and even brought in my packages for me. Fitz and Lizzie seemed in a really great mood when I got home. We will definitely be asking Heather to come back again!”

About: My own golden retriever lived to nearly 15, and caring for her through every stage of life is what gave me a real understanding of what dogs need and what their owners worry about. I don’t take that lightly when I’m caring for someone else’s dog and I treat each one as if they were my own! I’ve worked with dogs of all ages and personalities, from brand-new puppies to seniors, and from the shyest wallflowers to the most enthusiastic greeters. I’m comfortable with leash training for puppies and administering supplements and medications for older dogs with established routines. Midday walks are one of my favorite parts of the day, and I’m also available for drop-in visits when that’s all your pup needs. Either way, you can count on your dog getting genuine, attentive care while you’re away. As a remote worker, I have a flexible day and would love to break it up with outdoor activities with your dog! Aside from times when I have meetings, I am available to go and let out your pet or go for an outdoor activity. I always defer to the owners instructions for a visit and follow them to a tee. Whether your dog just needs a quick outing and play time inside or a longer walk in a certain route, I am able to provide whatever your dog needs to have a good visit!

“Yulia did an amazing job taking care of my cat, Carmen! She was very patient with Carmen and her complex needs, and always provided detailed updates. Her photos were also great! I would highly recommend her services 😊”

“Anna was fantastic! She took wonderful care of Tucker while we were away. Lots of photos and good updates throughout the week. Would absolutely book again!”

“Hig was so great with our kittens!!! She did drop in visits for our 4 month old energetic kittens who need a lot of attention, and she was wonderful with them! She played with them and held them a lot (which they love!), and she spent even more time with them than what we booked! 😊 The kittens looked like they loved her! We were worried to leave our young kittens for the weekend but Hig was so sweet and caring for them. Will definitely book her again!”

Alessandro A.

“Carol was amazing with my Peanut!! She made her comfortable and engaged with her (although Peanut can be a bit feisty) I’m very particular about who watches her and will absolutely book with Carol next time!”

Jada M.

“Alina was fantastic with our old lady cat. Very responsive to her needs and sent several pictures everyday. Additionally, our cat was very settled when we came home, which was comforting. We will definitely book with Alina again!”

“Lauren was great and very easy to work with. She took great care of my boys and she was able to help out on relatively short notice when another rover sitter had to cancel. She sent great pictures and videos too. Would definitely book with her again!”

About: I recently graduated with a PhD from George Mason University, so I'm highly organized and detail-oriented. I love animals of all shapes and sizes, and pet sitting provides much-needed joy and balance to my sedentary work at a computer. I work remotely with flexible hours, so I am able to accommodate specific feeding times, frequent check-ins, and potty breaks. As a proud cat owner, I'm very observant and knowledgeable about cat behavior and body language. I provide calm and gentle care that helps even the most timid cats feel secure and safe in their own space. I am skilled with trimming nails and brushing, and am happy to provide those services upon request, depending on your cat's tolerance. I also have several years of experience managing overnight house sits and walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including Greyhounds, Pit Bulls, and Australian Shepherds. I am able to care for and manage a wide range of dog energy levels. Whether your dog is high-energy and needs a brisk walk or is an elderly senior who requires a slow, gentle pace and careful supervision, I’ve got them covered. I'm currently working a fully remote, part-time job so my schedule is very flexible. I am able to offer drop-in visits any day of the week, any time of day between 8am and 8pm. I offer overnight visits for up to 3 consecutive nights. Home visits and overnights: I double-check that all doors are securely locked after every visit, bring in mail, and ensure your home was well-maintained during my stay. Leash Safety & Walking: On walks, safety is non-negotiable. I use a secure grip, stay highly observant of our surroundings, and never allow interaction with unknown dogs or people on the street unless you give me permission. Whether handling a strong, high-energy breed, or a sensitive, anxious dog, I maintain total focus and connection with your dog. Cat Care: For drop-ins, I make sure to provide for all your cat's needs including changing water, feeding, scooping litter, and playtime, grooming, and cuddles as requested. I also take time to read your cat's body language—if they want play and interaction, I'm fully present; if they prefer a calm presence from a distance, I respect their boundaries. I'm experienced with brushing and cleaning ears, so I am happy to offer that upon request, depending on your cat's temperament and needs. Updates: You will receive detailed updates and photos during every visit and at regular intervals during overnight stays.

“Julia is the best dog sitter we've ever had. She is very patient with our dog and observant of her habits and tricks. She really understand a dog's behavior and personality. Her professionalism and patience overcame our dog's initial wariness and won and quickly won her trust. She was great with communication, always sending detailed reports with highlights and photos. We would definitely book again for future needs.”

“Yulia is the best!! We had to do a super last minute booking and she went and saw my cat that day. She took great care of him, was very dependable, and sent lots of photos and videos. Will happily book with her again.”

About: As a pet owner, I understand every pet deserves patience, love, and reliable care. I provide attentive, responsible, and compassionate sitting to keep pets happy and safe. I’m currently available most days of the week with a flexible schedule. I can easily accommodate different booking times and provide reliable, attentive care for your pet. Your pet will be cared for in a safe, clean, and loving environment. I own a small, neutered dog who is friendly and up to date on all vaccinations. I live in a studio apartment and spend most of the day with my dog, so your pet will receive plenty of attention and supervision. There’s also a pet park just steps from my building, providing a great place for regular walks, exercise, and playtime. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making their comfort, safety, and happiness my top priorities.
