House Sitting in Friendship Heights, Washington, D. C.

“I can’t recommend Summar enough! She took care of my cat while I was out of town, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. Not only was she proactive about cleaning and keeping everything tidy, but she also paid close attention to his medication instructions, which was a huge relief. Knowing that she’s trained in pet CPR gave me extra peace of mind, and it’s clear she’s genuinely passionate about animal care. She even sent multiple photos and updates, so I never had to worry about how he was doing. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat, and I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”

“Karachi is a terrific dog sitter. She works from home so she is with Colby all the time. He loves that. She takes him for walks and has won his trust. She also is kind to us. She changed the bed and washed the sheets and towel for us. And she left the house as clean and tidy as we left it for how. We are grateful!”

About: Your dog’s happiness and well-being are my top priority! With a passion for pups and years of experience, I provide loving, reliable care tailored to your dog's unique personality. Whether it’s energetic playtime, peaceful walks, or cozy cuddle sessions, I’ll make sure your furry friend feels safe, loved, and excited while you're away! Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine, as I believe in creating a structured yet flexible schedule that keeps both my pets and me happy. I care for pets with the same attention and love, whether I’m walking them or providing drop-in visits, and I adjust my approach based on your dog's needs. Dog Walking: During walks, I ensure your dog gets plenty of exercise and mental stimulation while following their pace and preferences. I’ll take them on their favorite routes, whether it’s a calm stroll or a more active walk to burn off energy. I keep them safe by using the proper leash and equipment, and I always watch for any signs of fatigue or discomfort. Every walk is an opportunity for fun, exploration, and bonding! Drop-In Visits: For drop-in visits, I focus on keeping your dog happy and comfortable in your absence. I’ll check in at the scheduled times to provide fresh water, offer a quick bathroom break, and spend some quality time playing or cuddling. I also make sure to stick to any feeding schedules or special instructions you’ve provided, keeping your dog's routine as consistent as possible. Whether it's a walk or a drop-in visit, I ensure that your dog feels loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re away!

About: Hi everyone, My name is Rachel and I am a huge animal lover who is passionate about providing the best care and companionship for our furry friends. I have been pet sitting for close to 7 years now, through Wag and also with Rover. Experience in administering medicine for both cats and dogs and currently in process to be First Aid certified for pets as well! (As of July 2025) I grew up with animals, as I had taken care of my own dog-Misia, a coackapoo, for 10 years and my mother with her Havanese dog, Tomo, of 4 years (and on-going!) I lead an active lifestyle and take dogs out for a long walk or find fun ways to play with cats too. I want to make sure I can provide a tailored approach to make sure your pets' needs are met as a photo enthusiast, happy to take pictures and provide an update throughout a boarding and/or a sitting especially. Coming up close to 7 years of being a pet sitter for Wag, Rover and individual clients, I would be honored to be your reliable pet sitter! Currently my schedule is very open and flexible. I can accommodate a boarding at my apartment, as well as pet sitting/drop-in visits, as well for all days of the week. First and foremost what's important is that I understand the client's needs and their instructions on how to take care of their pets. Once you book my service, I would be more than happy to do an in-person meet and greet or a video call. If there are any further instructions (beyond what is listed on the Rover app), then I am happy to provide my personal email address if you would like to e-mail the instructions. These are the steps I take to ensure I can take care of the clients' pets in a safe and trusting environment.

“Sydney came to stay with my dog Minka for a long weekend. It was my first time away from her, but Sydney eased my anxiety by taking such great care of her!! She gave her lots of snuggles and attention and followed the care routine to a T. I got many pictures and updates and Sydney was always quick to respond. Minka had a great weekend with Sydney and I definitely recommend her services!”
