“Kaya did a fantastic job watching our new dog and two cats. She provided photos and updates assuring us things were going well. She provided meds and even took extra care during fireworks to be sure our dog felt safe. It was our first time using the rover app and Kaya. We already plan to have her watch our pets our next trip!”

“Sara did a great job taking care of Archie. She went above and beyond to help us out while we were out of town and sent lots of pics and updates. We would definitely book her again in the future!”

“Andre was terrific. He came over in advance to make sure he knew where everything was and go over our cats schedule. We definitely know Bowie was well cared for and will use Andre again in the future when we travel.”

“Elena was absolutely wonderful with my two cats! She was so attentive and kept me updated with the cutest photos while I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! I would definitely love to work with her again!”

“I chose Aimee based on her reviews: I was nervous about leaving my three senior cats (one is special needs) for a few days and told Aimee. She helped relieve my anxiety by sending me her detailed notes and photos from each visit. I am so pleased with Aimee’s excellent care of my cats.”

About: Your dog will receive royal treatment at our little oasis on the hill, designed for comfort, freedom, and safety. The back of our half-acre yard is fully fenced and features a doggy door that leads to a dedicated dog room stocked with fresh water. Out front, your pup can enjoy 24/7 “dog TV”—rolling hills and wildlife right outside the window. We’re surrounded by quiet, low-traffic hiking trails within a mile, plus a private walking path just steps from the door. Every guest dog enjoys three walks per day, tailored to their pace and needs. Whether your dog loves to explore or prefers gentle strolls, they’ll get plenty of exercise and enrichment throughout the day. Our resident Weimaraner is friendly and balanced—happy to play or relax depending on your pup’s personality. Dogs have access to scratch-friendly furniture and plenty of cozy spots (though the bed is people-only). I’m a dog mom of 13 years, experienced with hounds and dogs of all sizes. I’ve completed numerous trainings, including the Spirit Dog course on reactivity, and can confidently administer medications or eye drops. I only host one household at a time, and dogs are supervised 100% of the stay. My husband and I are home all weekend (Thursday evening through Monday morning), and we’re intentional about canine enrichment through sniffing, movement, and affection. Because we’ve lived with curious hounds, everything in our home is dog-proof and out of reach. If your pup thrives on structure, open space, and loving supervision, they’ll feel right at home here. If a weekend is available to book, my husband or I will be at home the entire weekend (Thursday night through Monday morning). Your dog will have access to the fully fenced backyard and will go on 3 walks per day. Our day typically starts at 6am and we wind down around 10pm. Safe, supervised and calm, your dog will enjoy fenced yards, private walks, low traffic hiking trails, encroachment, medication care (if needed) and attentive, experienced love in our dog-friendly, peaceful hilltop home.
About: grew up surrounded by pets, so caring for them comes naturally. My experience looking after children makes me patient, responsible, and loving — the same way I care for every dog or cat, as if they were part of my own family. I am available for pet care from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, as I work with children in the afternoons. During this time, I can provide feeding, playtime, walks, medication administration, and lots of attention to ensure pets feel safe and happy. I’m flexible with occasional early mornings or later pickups if needed I ensure pets feel safe and comfortable whether in my home or theirs. I create a calm and clean environment, provide fresh food and water, and supervise them at all times. I follow any specific instructions from the owner, including medication or special care, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection.
About: I am a reliable and lovable pet sitter! I have worked with dogs from a young age, including the care of my family members’ pups. Recently, I have been a dog walker and cat sitter both including in-home stays. I love to spend time outside and walk, which is made all the better with a furry friend. I am most available to care for pets on weekends with availability for midday visits and evening care 2-3 weekdays around my law school schedule. I am not looking to care for a pet at my home. I believe in an in depth conversation with a pet owner before a first service to get their understanding of how their pet might interact with a new person and learn the rules of their home. I would take guidance from the owner directly and build trust with the pet through my openness and a friendly first interaction
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats in the past and would love to do it again ! I have experience with dog walking, and cat and dog sitting I can do Monday’s, Wednesday’s, Thursday’s, and sundays, and possibly also Tuesdays, fridays and saturdays when I am not busy with other various activities that I have going on. I care for pets by playing with them, feeding them the right amount, bringing them for walks (if possible), and other possible entertainment for them ! I will make sure they are safe and well entertained as well as cared for.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for over eight years, caring for all kinds of breeds—many from foster or rescue homes. I’m patient, reliable, and love making pets feel safe and happy. I also have about two years of cat sitting experience, and I always treat every pet like my own. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. Before my dog of 16 years passed away, caring for her—walks, treats, snuggles, and later medication and extra attention—was a meaningful part of every day. Because of that, I’ve kept pet care as a regular part of my lifestyle. I’m available after 5 p.m. on weekdays and free on weekends, which makes it easy for me to dedicate time to walking, playing with, and caring for pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow any specific instructions closely—feeding schedules, walks, medications, and playtime—to ensure pets feel secure in their familiar space. I always take time to build trust, offer attention, and keep things tidy, so owners can come home to happy, relaxed pets and a well-cared-for home.
“Shelby is a kind, attentive, and communicative sitter! Our two cats were in great moods when we arrived, and the pictures we received during our time away showed the same. I would definitely recommend Shelby!”

“Hannah was really quick to respond and flexible when I had last minute changes! She went above and beyond for my cat and I wouldn’t hesitate to have her catsit again. She sent nice updates and I could tell my cat liked her :)”

“Becca is amazing! She has great communication and gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away from my cat Lola. Her daily reports are detailed and of course she sends so many great photos. I will definitely book with Becca again!”

About: Use my code JULIEL80305 for $20 off your first booking! I grew up with dogs (one husky, one Aussie Shepherd), and also dogsat on the side back home in Denver. Altogether, I have at least 20 years of experience with high energy breeds. These days I'm here in DC, where I live with my boyfriend and our corgi Romeo. Romeo is highly socialized, very friendly and will treat your baby as part of the pack! Trust that your puppy will have a friend to play with, and plenty of outside time (I live next to two dog parks, and tons of wooded trails). I'm 100% remote, and often use the time to walk my doggy around the neighborhood and take him to the dog park or wooded trails nearby. My boy is very active, so we're outside at least 4-5x per day. That said, your fur baby will get lots of fun outdoor time! My family dogs have had health challenges such as epilepsy, respiratory, food allergy and back issues -- all that to say, I'm comfortable adhering to pill schedules, strict dietary requirements, and making physical accommodations for your pup during their stay. I'm very attentive towards doggos in my care, and strive to provide an environment that is safe & enriching for them!
“Esther took great care of my elderly dog! She is so friendly, caring, and loving with my pup. She had great communication and professionalism and I would definitely book her again!”

“Priscilla made leaving my kittens for the first time much easier! She took the cutest pictures and really played with them and helped get their energy out while we were gone!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine, lifelong connection I have with animals. I’ve had dogs since I was 3 years old and have pet-sat many times, giving me years of hands-on experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. I work from home, so your pet gets consistent attention, company, and care throughout the day — never left alone for long periods. I treat every pet as if they were my own, focusing on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to routines, making sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and understood. My goal is always to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, reliable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and attention. I’m home during weekdays and often on weekends as well, so your pet will never be left alone for long stretches. My flexible schedule makes it easy for me to give consistent, reliable care whenever your pet needs it. My apartment building is a 100% pet-free residence, so I’m not able to host pets in my home. However, I’m very comfortable caring for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most familiar. I also love taking walks, so I’m always happy to provide plenty of outdoor time, exercise, and attention. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine will always be my top priority.
