Cat Sitting Friendship Village

“Rachel was wonderful. She did daily visits with our senior Kitty on medicine and took good care of her while we were gone. We received daily updates with photos and knew she was in good hands. Definitely recommend Rachel!”

“Daria is just as fantastic as all the other reviews say. This was my first time using a service like this and Daria is the absolute best. Very communicative, flexible (added days last minute) and truly understood each cat’s personality and needs. I will definitely be booking her in the future!”

About: I bring a lifetime of diverse animal experience to every pet I care for. I grew up with a rescue dog—and even a pet duck—which taught me early how to adapt to different personalities and needs. Today I share my home with Halo, my black rescue cat, and Grover, my rescue Yorkie, both of whom remind me daily how important patience and trust are. I also cared for Daisy, my special‑needs yellow lab, and understand the gentle routines senior pets require. And with Teddie, my Coton de Tulear from a prestigious lineage, I’m familiar with breed‑specific care and structured environments. Whether your pet is a rescue, a senior, a purebred, or a quirky little character, I meet them exactly where they are and make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved. As a writer who works from home, I have a naturally flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. My routine is calm, predictable, and easy to adjust around your pet’s needs—whether that means midday walks, morning check‑ins, or evening visits. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide steady, reliable care and keep your pet’s day running smoothly and stress‑free. I provide pet care exclusively through walks and drop‑in visits, which means your pet stays in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. During each visit, I follow your routines closely—feeding, fresh water, medication, enrichment, and any specific instructions you share. I keep a calm, reassuring presence, make sure doors are locked, and always double‑check your pet’s safety before leaving. My goal is to maintain your pet’s normal rhythm while giving them attentive, reliable care and keeping your home secure.

“Ana was a pleasure to work with! She was incredibly responsive and happy to accommodate any last minute changes. She kept me completely updated all the way through on both my pets of course and my apartment. My kittens looked well taken care of and happy. Would absolutely book with her again.”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my cat, Ivy, received! Summar arrived right on time for the appointment and made sure to keep me updated on how Ivy was doing. The photo she sent of them bonding was all I needed to know that my cat was in great hands—it gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She truly went above and beyond, not only taking excellent care of Ivy but also cleaning her dishes, picking up litter debris, and making sure the cat waste was properly taken care of. Her responsiveness, flexibility, and genuine love for animals were evident in every interaction. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter who will treat your pet like their own, I highly recommend booking with Summar! I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals in my home my whole life, from large dogs to guinea pigs! I have experience taking care of animals with various medical issues, anxious dogs, senior animals, and i’ve volunteered at local animal shelters. No animal too big or small! I’m currently working full time, but I am able to stay overnight and check in on your pet anytime after 3pm. I am available at any time during weekends as well. I take the safety of your animal very seriously. I ask you to please let me know if your animal has any special needs, issues with other animals, anxiety, etc. so that I can provide them with the best and most informed care possible.

“Great cat sitter, took care of our kitty and took great pics/wrote great reports, giving us peace of mind. We look forward to working with Jesica again!”

About: I have raised three dogs through puppyhood, adulthood, and seniorhood (a pointer/border collie mix, Weimaraner/greyhound mix, and a Westie). I have been trained in puppy obedience and clicker training and pride myself on being able to work with any dog-- from anxious, temperamental pups, to rowdy balls of energy, to silly couch potatoes-- I am here to keep your fur baby happy, healthy, and safe in your absence. In addition to my own dogs, I have had the privilege of caring for countless other friends' and neighbors' dogs and cats, and since moving to DC from California have been volunteering at the Humane Rescue Alliance shelter as a sensitivity-minded dog walker and enrichment provider as well as a cat care provider. I love all animals and am happy to help! I am currently a full time graduate student with a very flexible schedule and available to accommodate pet check ins, walks, and additional responsibilities within my class schedule. Depending on the dog's behavior, medical history, and location I work to minimize risks to the pet's safety and remain alert and attentive to the dog's body language as well as our surroundings, regardless of whether we are outside or inside.

About: Trusted Friendship Heights walker caring for dogs since age 10. Providing attentive, part-time care tailored to your pup's needs, from energetic puppy to specialized senior dog accommodation. I work remotely from home, which is great for me but even better for your pup! My schedule is super flexible, meaning I’m always ready to pause my screen for some morning or afternoon walkies and playtime. Think of me as your dog's personal remote-work coworker—minus the boring meetings, plus a lot of belly rubs and neighborhood adventures to keep them happy while you're away! Nature walks and social hour! I love taking dogs out to the beautiful parks nearby so they can stretch their legs and explore. If your furry family member thrives with a little extra company, they'll hit the jackpot here—my dog is excellent at making new friends and loves having a buddy for playtime. I customize everything to your dog's pace, ensuring they feel completely safe, loved, and thoroughly entertained.
