Pet Sitting Glover Park

“Kayla was great with Milo! Very trustworthy and responsive.”

Caroline Y.

“Caden was great at taking care of Thelma & Louise for a last minute booking. He communicated well and showed pictures of them eating since one of my cats eats fast especially when anxious. He did a great job sending pictures too. Highly recommend Caden for your summer vacations!”

“Grace took excellent care of Tucker! Would absolutely work with her again. Thanks!!”

About: I'm not just another dog walker or pet sitter — I'm your reliable neighborhood neighbor who’s already the go-to person in my 10-story NW DC apartment building for everything from quick walks to overnight stays (and yes, I handle both dogs and cats with ease!). What really makes me different is my background as a recently retired Special Education teacher. That means I bring serious patience, structure, and a knack for reading behavior to every pet I care for. Whether it’s helping a energetic young pup learn polite leash manners, crate training basics, or simple commands during our walks and playtime — or giving gentle, attentive care to senior dogs and cats who need slower paces, extra cuddles, or help with mobility and medication — I’m genuinely good at meeting each pet exactly where they are. I grew up with dogs and cats, so I’m comfortable with all personalities and ages. I focus on making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away — with consistent routines, plenty of affection, and that extra layer of responsibility that comes from years of working with kids who needed thoughtful, individualized support. In short: You get a sitter who’s dependable, experienced with all life stages of pets, and truly enjoys the work. Your furry (or not-so-furry) family member will get the kind of calm, attentive care that makes coming home even sweeter. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine! Since I’m recently retired, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I live right in a 10-story apartment building in NW DC, so I’m already here and can easily pop down for midday walks, quick drop-ins, or overnight stays without any commute hassle. A typical week for me includes several regular dog walks and cat visits for neighbors in the building. I genuinely enjoy starting my day with a good walk or ending it with some playtime and cuddles. It keeps me active, social, and smiling — plus it gives me that wonderful sense of responsibility I loved from my teaching days. Whether it’s a quick 30-minute walk around the neighborhood, a full night of house sitting, or daily check-ins while you’re traveling, fitting pet care into my schedule is easy and something I truly look forward to. I’m available most days and evenings, and I’m happy to work around your needs! I provide all pet care in your home only, so your pets stay in their familiar environment where they feel safest and most comfortable. For dogs, I will only consider bringing them to my house on very rare occasions — and only after I’ve gotten to know the dog well and we both agree it’s the right fit. All cat care happens exclusively in your home. In your home, I follow your exact routines for feeding, walks (for dogs), playtime, litter box care, medications, and more. I’m very mindful about safety: keeping doors and windows locked, using secure leashes when needed, and treating your space with complete respect. As a retired Special Education teacher, I’m patient, observant, and highly responsible. I treat every pet and every home with the care they deserve. You can trust that your furry family member will be in safe, loving hands.

“Elizabeth did an excellent job with my pets!”

“Sarah was wonderful with the cats. They got along with her really well and she was very thorough in giving us updates and photos. I will definitely be asking her to cat sit again in the future!”

Athena Z.

“Elsa was so great with my cat! My cat is usually very shy and timid with new people, but seemed to be very comfy with Elsa. She sent plenty of photos, was very responsive, and even cleaned up tracked litter without me having to ask. Will definitely book again!”

About: I will treat your pets as if they are my own! I grew up in house full of dogs and cats and have always loved animals. When I moved to DC, I started regularly overnight sitting for friends and family - this includes 2 affectionate doodles, a distinguished English Lab, and a precious rescue pittie. I love learning individual pet personalities. I’m detailed oriented and love giving pets and cuddles. I will carefully follow any and all instructions provided and ensure your pet is safe and happy while you are away! I also love to send updates and photos. I mostly work from home so I have a flexible schedule. Happy to make multiple daily house calls, or spend the night with your pet(s). My care depends on the individual animal and their needs. I’m happy to follow any and all instructions left for me. I think it’s best to keep pets in the environment and with the schedule they are most comfortable with. And so you never have to worry, I send regular photos and updates!

“Catherine was so friendly, communicate and quick to help! I appreciate her so much and recommend her to check in and look after the fur baby! 🩵”

“Julia was great- so trustworthy, responsive, and kind. I was very nervous leaving my puppy for the first time, but I felt much more comfortable knowing she’d be looking after him. So grateful for her help!”

Caroline Y.

“Becca was amazing! She was very responsive and kept me up to date with all her visits while I was away. I will 100% be rebooking her in the future!”

About: Since rescuing a stray cat in 2021, I have been responsible for every aspect of her daily care, including feeding, cleaning, playtime, grooming, and monitoring her health. Caring for her has taught me patience, consistency, and how to recognize changes in a pet’s behavior. As a graduate student, I am organized, dependable, and committed to providing pets with a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while their owners are away. I’m currently a graduate student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate drop-in visits, cat care, dog walking, and house sitting based on your pet’s needs. I always make time to provide pets with attention, playtime, exercise, and companionship, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages during every visit. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medication, routines, and any special needs. I keep the environment clean, secure, and stress-free while respecting your home and your pet’s boundaries. Having cared for my rescued cat since 2021, I understand how important patience, consistency, and trust are when caring for animals, especially those who may be shy or anxious.

“Deniz braved the snowy / icy roads for daily visits with our cat while we were away. She gave thoughtful and detailed updates, and it is clear how much our sassy cat has warmed up to her. Deniz is the best, would highly recommend her!”

Alison F.

“Jess was a fantastic sitter! Very communicative and flexible when it came to coordinating the key/fob pickup, and the girls got lots of TLC during her drop-in visits. I will definitely rebook with her next time I go out of town!”

About: I’ve had pets (cats, dogs, chickens, etc) since I was a kid! I love pets of all kinds. I can’t wait to treat your pet as family—because they are! I work retail so I often have closing shifts (12-9) which means I can spend a slow morning with your pets and hang out with them in the evening after work. I am also happy to check in between shifts on days when I’m working as well, if needed. I am happy to provide specialized care for every pet. In your home, I will care for them exactly as you would! In my home, I can provide frequent walks and lots of pets. I do have one cat and one chiweenie in my home but I can crate my pets as needed.

About: I grew up with rescue mutts and herding breed dogs that need lots of exercise, mental stimulation, and training so I am familiar with high energy breeds. I also have experience with smaller companion animals, and cats. I love dogs of all sizes and breeds, and have cared for dogs at all stages of life, from puppies to seniors. I'm available mornings and afternoons to spend time with your pets. I'm between jobs at the moment, so my schedule is very flexible and I'm eager to fill that with time with your pup! I love to take long walks, and enjoy parks and trails if your dog likes to go on short hikes. I have a fenced in front and back/side yard with grass, and enough room to throw a ball if they come over for a play date.
