“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!”
“Priscilla is our savior! I am so glad that we've found her here in DC! Cannot explain how difficult it was to find someone you can trust with your house + furry family members and to be able travel without worries, just letting everything go for a moment. I usually try to think everything ahead but with Priscilla I know that if I forget something she will figure it out, it won't be an issue (which is a rare thing nowadays!) Every time we are back home kitties are happy, apartment is clean - so you can breathe out after your trip and relax. We have a joke in our family that if she moves out of DC - we'll have to relocate as well:) She is absolutely wonderful!”
“Olivia was amazing with our 13 year old toothless rescue cat - she spent a lot of time with her when we were away and from the photos she shared it’s clear that our Ella loved her. She took extra good care of Ella and even went out of her way to clean up some ants near Ella’s food. We will definitely hire Olivia again!”
“Dylan has watched my senior kitty Winnie twice now and again was an amazing sitter. She was highly communicative and I loved receiving her pictures and comments on how Winnie was doing. Winnie loves Dylan and they formed the sweetest bond. I knew my cat was in great hands while Dylan was taking care of her. She was clean and graciously cleaned Winnie's dishes and kept the house tidy. I HIGHLY recommend Dylan, she's reliable and amazing at taking care of animals. I will definitely be booking with her the next time I'm out of town, she is truly a gem!!”
“Erin did a wonderful job of taking care of our two kitties while we were away, spending time with them and making sure our one cat got his medicine. She also went above and beyond by cleaning up an unexpected mess, so I didn’t have to worry about returning home to it.”
“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!”
About: I started a dog sitting business when I was 10 taking care of neighbors pets as well as my own. I have always been an avid dog and cat lover and throughout my life have interacted with many different breeds and sizes. I currently work from home giving me flexible hours allowing me to more easily fit your dogs into my schedule. Additionally, I am very familiar with the DC area allowing me to know all the great dog friendly areas! I currently have the cutest grey kitten Elias I rescued him from a shelter. He loves cuddles.. at all times of the day and playing with homemade toys.
“Sarah was great care for Sully! She is very knowledgeable about cats and took the time to understand Sully's needs. I caused a scheduling mix up and she was very kind in her response. I would recommend Sarah to anyone and can't wait for her to watch Sully again soon.”
“Stephanie took such good care of my cat while I was gone for a weekend! She gave updates with pictures and a detailed messages, and gave him plenty pets and play time!”
“Andre was the best!! So attentive, always sent me photos of Freddie, and was a huge hit. He was juggling a few other pets during the same time but never made me worry about if Freddie was taken care of. THANK YOU, Andre!”
About: I had the pleasure of raising my two pups from infancy at the same time - and they’re 10 and energetic now! I am very energetic and love all kinds of dogs, so happy to help! I work from home and am quite flexible during most work days! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m happy to accommodate any daily routine for your dog. I am very active so I can walk them on check-ins and definitely take them out for restroom breaks I have two dogs at home and they love to play with other dogs if your dog is friendly, and if not happy to hang out and take care of your dog alone as well. Whatever you and your dog are most comfortable with!
About: I've been dog-sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since I was 13! I love dogs of any size, and a proud owner of two maltipoos in my family home. I am the go-to dog trainer and bather in my family. I am more than willing to accommodate to any dog's needs and make sure their stay is as comfortable as possible! As a college student in the Washington, D.C. area, I have a flexible school and work schedule that allows me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, mid-day playtime, or evening snuggles, I can easily fit quality pet care into my routine. I know all the best local spots for walks and runs if your pup needs to burn off some energy, or I’m just as happy staying in and relaxing with a more laid-back, cuddle-loving dog. I’m committed to making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own space. I take time to get familiar with your home setup and follow your routine as closely as possible: from feeding schedules and walks to preferred toys and favorite nap spots. I’m always happy to accommodate specific instructions or preferences, so please don’t hesitate to share anything you’d like me to know. My goal is to make your pet feel relaxed and loved while you're away!
