1. Omar & Claudia T.


“Omar and Claudia were wonderful taking care of my two dogs and house while I was away. Frequent updates and pictures of the them enjoying themselves and happy were very much appreciated and comforting. Would highly recommend!”




2. Kevin D.

“Kevin and his daughter were very friendly and diligent dog sitters. I came back to a happy dog and a clean house. Very happy with the service!”


3. Don B.

“Don is like the dog whisperer. He came over to meet our usually “nervous around new people” dog, and instantly won him over. In fact, he sat on his lap the entire time we were all there before we had to leave. Seeing that bond gave me immediate peace of mind in leaving our pup with Don. He was early to arrive, very respectful of our home, and always very responsive when I messaged for updates. We are 💯 going to ask him to sit again and would definitely recommend his sitting services to anyone. Thanks Don!”


4. Felicia H.

“Felicia was great! Sent me lots of pics, left my home spotless, and my pups were happy when I got back. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Will definitely use her again!”


5. Jina Y.

“Jina is a wonderful sitter, extremely caring, taking such great care of our kitty and home, always communicating promptly with plenty of updates, pictures and even videos. We can always rest assured our pets are in the best hands and they greet Jina with such happiness. Jina is definitely our preferred sitter and we’ll definitely be looking forward to book again! Thank you so much!!!”


6. Mabelyn M.

“The dogs were happy and well cared for. We received updates and photos to ease our minds. The house was spotless. Mabelyn is now a preferred sitter and Rennie and Morty agree!”




7. A'Gia A.

“As advertised in her other great reviews, A'Gia was thoughtful, helpful, timely, and excellent with our dog and our house. She clearly took a lot of time each day to get in touch and keep us in the loop on how our dog was doing, and keep us assured that all was well while we were out of town. We highly recommend her!”


8. Lina P.

“Lina is super. Our pups love her and she them.”


9. Addie G.

“Addie is a true professional. Punctual, followed all my directions, and most importantly cared for and loved on my two cats and Pit Bull. She's great who I will use again.”


10. Jeffrey B.

“Jeffrey was amazing with our two pups. We have one who is a bit anxious and fearful around new people, especially men, and Jeffrey quickly won him over! He was available for a meet and greet and gave tons of updates and photos to put our minds at ease. He is fantastic!!”


11. Kate A.

“Kate was wonderful with our dogs and cat. Meeting each one’s needs at their own pace with one shy dog, one cuddly one and a kitty who takes her own time to approach. Kate sent reports and pictures often and we were very comfortable knowing she was caring for them. We came home to happy and relaxed pets! We really appreciated her being able to accommodate us on short notice. We highly recommend Kate and will be happy to book her again! Thank you!”

About: I have had my cat Earl for 11 years and had dogs growing up. I promise to love and care for your pets as though they are my own. I am comfortable feeding, walking, scooping poop or cat boxes, and administering medicine with care. My schedule is pretty flexible as I WFH, and I am saving up for my wedding in 2026 so really appreciate your business. I hope you will take a chance on me! I work from home so am pretty flexible with pet care. I have a car and am comfortable driving to you, taking your pet to a local park, etc. I typically need at least 24h notice for dog walking to make sure I have no meeting conflicts (unless the timing is flexible for you). I can easily crate your dog if needed, I am comfortable walking your pet for long distances, I have no issues picking up poop or scooping cat boxes, and am willing to learn any additional needs your pet may have to make sure our experience together is a pleasant one! I am comfortable walking a dog of 100+ pounds, unless it is known to dart away quickly. I can only lift about 50 lbs so don’t trust my ability to pull your dog back/control it if it is reactive like that.


13. Klaudia W.

“Klaudia was a wonderful pet sitter. Sent lots of pictures and communicated frequently which we appreciated. Already booked her for two more trips we are taking next month.”


14. Jeannette S.

“Jeannette did a nice job. She sent some great pictures which put my mind at ease. When she came over to meet our dog and cats really liked her. We have a senior dog on a special diet so it was good to have someone you could trust. Would use her again”


15. Mia K.

“Mia was wonderful to work with. She was patient and gentle with Arya and communicated to us the whole trip. Our girl doesn't like just anyone and it was clear she was very comfortable with Mia. Additionally, she was flexible to add a other booking last minute for us. We will definitely book with her in the future!”


16. Edgar S.

“My pups loved having Edgar stay with them. He sent videos and pictures so I knew they were happy and entertained. My crew is high energy and he was able to keep them busy/out of trouble. Will definitely book again.”


17. Thelma O.

“Thelma was great! She was able to watch last minute when our other sitter had to cancel. We are super appreciative of her and her communication. Max loved spending time with her.”


18. Brittany B.

“Brittany was fantastic with our senior dog who is blind. She was patient and caring. If we have the need for house/pet sitting, we will definitely book with Brittany again.”

About: Hello All! I grew up with lots of dogs always in the house. Big and small I loved them all dearly and miss them. Would like to meet as many dogs (or any other animal!) as possible in my lifetime :) If you dog wants snuggles or long walks or both, I'd love to help. I foster dogs and rabbits, at which times I will be marked unavailable on my calendar since they need to be as comfortable as possible. Also, I don't take more than 1 dog at a time unless they are a pair from the same home. Experience with all size dogs, all ages and giving meds. I know the vets and emergency services around Gaithersburg well. Child free and smoke free household. *I won't use choke collars on any dogs (it's cruel.) If you have a dog w/ a choke collar I suggest getting a front hooking harness instead. Right now I work in the office 4 days a week. I work nearby so coming home to feed and take your fur baby out for walks during the day is very easy. I have a largeish 1 bdrm with a nice balcony and easy access to green space and a small park. Fur babies are allowed on the furniture and bed and will be treated like royalty.


20. Mychelle A.


“Mychelle was available on short notice to watch our cat during Thanksgiving. She made sure that our cat received all her medications and checked in with us throughout the day. We really appreciate her frequent communication and attention to detail. We highly reccomend Mychelle for anyone seeking a cat or dog sitter.”
