“Erica was great taking care of our cats. She provided timely communication and spent some time with them while we were away. We would definitely use her again!”



“Maria is a great cat sitter! Was very assured having her take care of my cat Daphne over 5 days. She went above and beyond, taking care of all her eating, playing, and scooping needs. And she gave daily updates with photos, making my trip worry free. Highly recommended!”


“Christina was amazing!! We knew she was special when she got our very timid Bodhi to come out of hiding on her very first visit!! She sent lots of photos and updates, and our spoiled kitties were clearly very happy and pampered in her care. She made us feel a lot less guilty about leaving them, haha. We would highly recommend her, and would definitely have her look after our kitties again 😊”


“Tara took good care of our golden retriever this week! Tara provided her with both a walk and playtime and our pup responded well to Tara. Tara is prompt and an excellent communicator. I would recommend her to anyone who asked!”


“Stephen and Donna did an excellent job walking our Great Pyrenees mix several times over a few weeks. You could feel their love for dogs from the moment we met them and they were very communicative and kind throughout the whole process. Our boy enjoyed and looked forward to his walks with them and we would definitely recommend and use their services in the future.”


“Patchy loved seeing her everyday. Amazing, reliable, sent photos of each visit. Definitely will book Diana again.”


About: I’ve been with animals all my life and have cared for dogs, cats and small caged animals. I love animals and if I could have more animals I would. I’m free all day and my schedule should revolve around your animal and their needs. I can accommodate practically anything your pet needs with open arms. I have a fenced in yard if their at my house, if not I would care to all the needs to the animal and put my all into making them happy.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats for 35 years. I currently have a German Shepherd and a domestic short hair cat. I volunteer at the humane society socializing cats. I am retired and have time and love enough to care for your small dog or cat. I prefer to stay in the northern Virginia area if possible. I’m available for drop in visits or overnights. I amvery experienced keeping an active dog entertained. I can take small dogs for walks in your neighborhood

“Sydney took the best care of our cat Cooper and I could tell when we got home that he was given lots of attention! She was super thorough with all of her notes about her visits and took lots of great pictures for us to see our little guy while we were gone. Thanks for taking such good care of him!”



“Denis was great with our puppy Riely! I felt comfortable with him taking care of her. He came prior to the visit to make sure he knew how to navigate her care and learn her demeanor. He was also very communicative. Will definitely use him again in the future!”

“This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous about how it would work out, but there was no need to worry because Davide was exceptional! Davide is an extremely caring and conscientious dog-sitter whose highest priority was making sure our 13 year old dog was comfortable, engaged, and well-taken care of while we were away. Davide took our dog out for walks at every visit, and in addition to maintaining the feeding schedule, he also monitored how much he was eating, making any necessary adjustments to his meals that were needed. Davide also went above and beyond to look after our dog and our house, and sent us frequent reports and photos, which were all very reassuring. I was extremely pleased that Davide was looking after our dog and could tell that Davide is an experienced dog-sitter who anticipates what needs to be done and knows how to take care of any situation that may arise, whether it concerns a pet or the house. When we came home, our dog was happy and showed no signs of stress. I look forward to having Davide take care of our dog again in the future!”


About: I’ve had pets my whole life including cats, dogs, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I’ve always had a huge heart for them and love taking care of them and spending time with animals in any way that I can. I often pet sit for neighbors and friends. I am a student, going to school throughout the week, so tasks like popping in to check up on a pet and dog walking are great daily opportunities for me. I keep a very clean and tidy home which will ensures a safe environment for my pets and. I also am very attentive to my pets and provide them the needed attention and love because I genuinely enjoy spending time with them.

“Maya was very responsive, flexible, and great to work with.”

In your home, I ensure your pet sticks to their routine, offering plenty of love, exercise, and companionship.

If caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and enrichment to keep them happy and relaxed. No matter the setting, your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priorities.

About: I have cared for and loved dogs since the age of 12. From puppies to senior dogs I have experienced it all. Our pets are part of the family and deserve love and care as such. I have trained 3 puppies, am well versed in dog training and take all safety precautions. I walk my own dog rain or shine and would love to have your dog along for our little adventures! I have a fenced in yard for free play and a park near by for walks. I have spaces available for in home doggie daycare and overnights as well as occasional walks. Let your mind be at ease knowing your doggo is safe and having fun with me! I have a fenced in yard and 1 sweet male golden retriever/ husky named Mr. Blue. He was socialized since puppyhood and loves to play with other dogs.

“I’ve used Hannah several times now for walks and drop ins (and will continue to). She’s very responsive and punctual. My dog has a great time with her!”



About: I have had animals in my life ever since I was born. I am a huge dog person and fostered pups before I got my own. I have a chihuahua/mini pincher mix who loves people and other animals, no matter the size! If I am away for work, I constantly watch my pup on the doggy cam. I ensure he gets at least two walks a day, play time at least 3 times a day, and all the snuggles he wants! I've became very skilled at potty training as we went through it living in a high rise. I have a flexible schedule and live/work in Highwood/Highland Park. I have evenings off and do not mind early mornings or weekend appointments! Please let me know how I can help you and your dog! I am an early riser and come by to hang out with my dog for lunch every day. I also have evenings off to enjoy with them whether it’s a long walk or playtime in the house! Tito roams free in the house but I always make sure my pup and the clients get along well before booking. I watch them on the doggy cam while I’m gone and always frequently check in to make sure all is well. My number one concern is making sure everyone is comfortable and happy so I do whatever it takes to ensure that with my clients.

About: Hey, call me Franky but I’ve been taking care of dogs to 10+ years. I had a dog of my own until we had to put it down. Definitely the best 15 years of his life. Made sure he was a little chunky boy and took him out for runs all the time. I love exercising along side a friend. Especially mans best friend. I’ve take care of friends dogs and all equally love me the same. My availability is very open, as of now (July 2023) I am available Monday - Wednesday, all day no matter what. I’m also an active person, walking and even running to get a good workout in can benefit me and the dog in question. I make sure pets are within my vision, if not I make sure my surroundings are clear and definitely make sure food is not within reach for them to grab. In my home they will always be free and not locked to one area. Clients pets have all the rights and freedom.

About: Let me meet your pup! I’m a huge human and pet lover. I help people by day working as a CT Tech in healthcare. Now I am looking to help animals in the evenings. Fun fact: I am currently on a weight loss journey and have been doing daily walks and I would love for someone else’s pup to join me! I am a very responsible and educated dog owner. My family dog, Baylor, is diabetic and requires lots of special care so I have learned a lot! :) I am currently a full time CT Technologist working Monday-Friday 7:30a-4p. However, I am home by 4:30pm every day. I am free in the evenings and all day on Saturday and Sunday. I recently moved here and do not have any pets of my own, but someday I will have lots of pets. For now, I would love to meet and care for someone else’s pets and make some extra money to save up for a house. :) I have a mostly fenced in yard - the only part not fenced in is the driveway itself, however, I plan to never have someone else’s dog outside without a leash on. I am a big worrier and anything can happen in a blink of an eye. In my home, pets can roam wherever and can go on furniture as they please. I treat others pets as I would want mine treated.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all kinds over the last four years. I have the most experience with small dogs under 25 pounds. After a recent move to DC and away from my family dog, I am missing some quality time with furry friends! I have experience dog walking and dog sitting for puppies and middle aged dogs. I can’t wait to meet your pup! I work part time on a flexible remote schedule, so I have plenty of time to go for long walks with your dog during the day. I am an early riser (usually awake by 6:30 AM), so I’m also open to morning walks! I am flexible regarding dog/house sitting, and I am happy to watch your dog for a long weekend (or more!) while you are away. I have experience doing this at my own home and other people’s homes. I am responsible and reliable.

She really gets dogs, especially rescues, and knows how to handle them based on their past experiences and quirks. I’ve never once hesitated to have Rachel watch my own dog—who’s a rescue and 80 pounds! I know she’ll give him the care and attention he needs, and I trust her to keep him safe. She’s super responsible, makes sure pets get the right exercise and attention, and can handle any situation that comes up.

Any pet owner would be lucky to have Kylie looking after their furry family members.”
