About: Since I was young, I've been very drawn to caring for pets of all nature and have a very deep connection with dogs. From my experiences with having 2 dogs of my own to being the best aunt to my sisters’ poodles, I know that a dog really is a human's best friend. I'd love the opportunity to help others care for their best friends too! Currently, I have reduced my hours at my hospital job to an average of around 20 hours a week, thus have a lot more flexibility in my schedule and can change my work availability as needed. For the remainder of the summer, I am preparing myself to start graduate school in the fall, when I will be enrolled at GWU and living in Alexandria. As such, I am available to take on any and all services necessary to offer help in any way that I can! Though I would not be looking to house any pets in my home, I do prefer fenced yards for client's homes so that outside play can ensure safety for the pet as while as myself. If this is not feasible, I will gladly resort to playing inside (with permission from the owners), as well as traditional dog sitting indoors and frequent neighborhood walks.

About: Hi! I’m Jessie and I’m a lifelong animal lover I have even been called a cat whisperer. Personally, I have been an owner of German Shepherds since I have been alive and I have had cats since I’ve been four years old. Friends and family have been trusting me with their house keys since I’ve been able to drive even when I’m not pet sitting for them. I treat every pet like my own with kindness, patience, and all of the love. I have experience with a wide range of temperament from anxious animals to high energy animals. I will make sure I take the time to make sure your pet is comfortable with me and make sure I prioritize their routine. ✅Patient with all animals ✅Experience with medication administration ✅Flexible availability for daily drop in visits ✅Will provide photos and updates with every visit I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, snuggles, and potty breaks throughout the day. I’m available most weekends, mornings, and evenings for drop in visits. While I am there, I will make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I offer drop-in visits only and I take the responsibility of entering your home seriously. I will treat your space with the same respect I would want for my own- keeping things clean, secure, and exactly how you left them. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment and giving you peace of mind that both your pet and your home are in good hands

“My wife and I are incredibly pleased with the service provided by Jordan. This was our first time using this app and it went so smoothly. Jordan met us a few days ahead of time and she was very kind. We have two large dogs so we were a bit nervous initially but she handled them very well. Having Jordan care for our dogs really gave us a peace of mind and allowed us to be worry free when it came to leaving our pups. Thank you again Jordan! We will most definitely be booking again!”


“Kayla dropped in with our pups all weekend! It was great to have the communication and be able to relax knowing our pups were happy and being cared for. We appreciate her and will continue to request her!”


“Diana was amazing. She was on time and sent photos. She was easy to reach out to and we felt really good about having our dog taken care of by her. We especially were pleased with her coming to meet us. I would highly recommend her. We hope to use her again.”


“Madison was able to stop by with less than 48 hours notice to take care of my two puppies during our night out. She did a great job and they were so content when we got home!”


About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a child. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving each pet the love and attention they deserve. I work in Annapolis Monday through Friday and am available to help with walks, potty breaks, or drop-in visits after 4:30 PM in that area. I live in the Beach and typically get home around 5:30 PM, so I can also care for pets in that area during the evenings. On weekends, I’m off and my schedule is wide open to help however needed. Whether your pet needs a quick visit or some company for a few hours, I’m happy to help! I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of walks and playtime, and feel happy and comfortable. I’m also happy to give baths and trim nails if requested.

“Thanks Phoenix. Reliable, got the job done well and a caring person to trust with my cat visits. I appreciate you watching my kitty kid and will be in contact again for your great services ASAP.”


“Annette was so sweet and communicative! We felt so good about leaving our pets with her and would absolutely book her services again.”


About: My name is Molly and I just graduated from Stony Brook University with my bachelor’s in marine biology. I am currently in the process of applying to veterinary school and am employed as a vet assistant. I have worked as a kennel assistant at Dogwood Acres and I have dogs of my own. I have worked with small and large dogs, as well as dog-aggressive dogs. I have also house-sat cats before. I care for my 2 reptiles and fish and I grew up on a small farm with goats, sheep, chickens, and more assorted pets. With my knowledge of the vet field and background in animal care, I will do everything I can to make your pet comfortable and happy <3 I am working as a vet assistant to get oriented in the field and I am also writing my vet school applications this summer. I work Monday-Wednesday and every other Thursday. Occasionally I have half days on Saturday. Every day is filled with pet care for me, and I have extensive experience in the field. I would love to give the best care I can to your pet! If boarding: I have a dog named Jane who gets along with other dogs and loves people! I have both a fenced yard and an open yard that your dog would be free to roam if staying with me. I also have a pool that is available to them. There is a doggy door to the fenced yard and pool, water available throughout the day, and I will be around to keep an eye on them unless my schedule states otherwise. I’ll make sure they’re eating, sleeping, getting medication as needed, and having normal potty breaks. I will update you with daily photos and call in case of any abnormalities or emergencies. If housesitting: When going over to your home I will make sure to check on your pet regularly and observe their behaviors. I will make sure that your pet is eating, having normal potty breaks, getting medication as needed, and that the house is in good condition after your pet has been left alone. I am willing to water plants, feed fish and reptiles, and do other general housesitting tasks as well. I will send updates at least once a day with photos and call in case of any odd behavior or emergencies.

“Melissa was great and kept great care of sunny. Will definitely use her in the future”


“Wenda was absolutely fantastic. She was very engaged with my two chaotic cats and made sure the litterbox was clean and functioning. She communicated with me about everything that was happening and sent plenty of pictures. I highly recommend her.”


“Alex was fantastic and shared all the updates with our pups. She didn’t hesitate to ask questions when she thought something was off with the pups. We felt very confident that our dogs were in safe hands.”


About: I have had a pet of my own since as long as I can remember. Love taking care of not only my own animals but friends and neighbors as well. Experience with many different animals. I am a full time stay at home mom with currently just rabbits and chickens for animals. We have a family dog. His name is Oak and he is a 2 year old male Cairn Terrier. I still have plenty of time to watch a dog or 2! Available 7 days a week. We have 3.5 acres so your pet will have plenty of room to explore. I enjoy taking dogs on walks. Dogs will require to be crated during various times such as if I need to run an errand, and at night. I am home all day. Your pet will get plenty of attention and exercise throughout the day. I love walks and your pet will love them too! I have a large yard to watch your pet in. I keep large indoor kennels as well if watching multiple pets at a time. I use this to keep all pets safe any time they are not being actively monitored.

About: I have been fortunate enough to have both cats and dogs in my life since I was a child. I absolutely LOVE the different personalities and trying to figure out what makes each animal uniquely who they are. I have a knack for knowing and feeling exactly where your fury friend needs to be pet and loved on. I believe each pet has their own special needs and I'm determined to find what that is. I'm a quick learner and very patient. I am a mother of two daughters 24and 28, and a beautiful grandson that is 2.5. I have been a mom to 4 dogs and 6 cats in my life thus far. Hoping to add to my family as soon as I settle down. I’m currently in Annapolis, waiting for my second grandson to be born. I am retired, yet, currently studying to be a health and wellness coach. I am free most days and nights. In clients home, I would do as requested and make sure to stay on any timeline that’s necessary. It’s important that your pet/pets feel safe and loved.

Molly S.
“I have a dog that loves people but dislikes all other animals. She is no doubt a difficult dog. Before Molly, she had to be kenneled, which I didn't love doing. I tried several other dog sitters and it was a disaster. I even had to leave my vacation early once because the sitter let her loose w another dog. Molly gets animals, their behavior, requirements and fully understands the seriousness of my situation. She is the ONLY pet sitter I allow to watch my dog. It also helps that she is studying to be a Veterinarian, has her degree in Marine Biology and has access to veterinary advice and care from her coworkers should a question arise. She is also a very friendly, honest and a reliable young lady, who also loves plants, so if you need those watered or cared for as well she has a great green thumb!”

She is always available last minute when I need and provides me with photos and updates throughout there stay! I will continue to use Ann as my go to Rover!”


Kymberly D.
“I have known Kym for over 16 years and her love and compassion for animals seems to be something that comes naturally. She has a way about her that dogs and cats gravitate towards her. Kym would make a great pet sitter and I would highly recommend her to watch anyone’s pet.”
