“Sophia is absolutely amazing! She was so sweet during our meet and greet and I knew she was going to take care of my senior dog so well. My pup took a liking to her immediately which was great sign. She has done so well with providing detailed visit summaries that I have no questions about how my pup did that day. She’s great at communicating if an issue arises as well. I have enjoyed having her as a sitter and would recommend her!”
“We feel so lucky to have Phoebe as Smokey’s sitter for years! She consistently takes such wonderful care of our cat, and it gives us complete peace of mind whenever we’re away. You can tell Phoebe genuinely loves animals. Smokey absolutely adores her and is always so happy and comfortable in her care. Phoebe is reliable, attentive, and always keeps us updated, which we really appreciate. It is clear Smokey isn’t just being looked after - she is being cared for and truly loved. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter and highly recommend Phoebe to anyone looking for someone they can fully trust!”
“Lei and Skye took wonderful care of my cat. My cat is usually very cautious around people, but she truly trusts Lei, which says a lot. Both Lei and Skye were very responsible and attentive — they checked for throw-up during every visit and cleaned everything up promptly. I could tell they genuinely cared for my cat from the heart, not just as a job. I really appreciated their patience, kindness, and dedication, and I felt very reassured while I was away.”
“Alison did a fantastic job. Detailed reports with pictures, and was very punctual. Our dog seemed so happy during their drop-ins. Will definitely be using Alison's services in the future!”
“Amanda was fantastic! She dropped in to watch my cats while I was away for the weekend. She fed them and cleaned the litter box. She even left them a toy! Outstanding!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15. I absolutely adore animals of all kinds. I would love and care of them as if they were my own fur baby. As a cottage baker, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for throughout the week. Since I currently can’t have pets in my own home full-time, I genuinely love using my free time to spend time with furry friends! Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion during the day, I’m happy to fit their routine into my schedule and give them lots of love and attention. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I take pet care instructions seriously and do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine to help reduce stress and keep them happy. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality, energy level, and needs, and I always prioritize safety during walks, feeding, playtime, and downtime. With over 15 years of pet care experience, I’m comfortable caring for pets with special routines, medications, or senior care needs as well.
“Jane has been excellent with our 9-month-old beagle during her checkin service. She informs me of any unusual things that she observed, in addition to taking care of our dog. She also kept a close eye on our dog’s after-surgery suture area, sharing pics and building rapport with our dog. Highly recommend!”
“Chloe was fantastic! I was traveling with Winnie, a Boykin Spaniel puppy, and I had to stop for a few days of Work in the DC Metro. Chloe came over to the hotel and made sure that Winnie was fed, watered, walked and entertained while I worked all day. I'm sure this was a unique situation but Chloe made it work and did an excellent job. I highly recommend using Chloe, Thank you so much!”
“Victoria willingly accepted to sit my dog while I went on a last-minute work trip. She sent daily pictures, kept up with the dog's schedule flawlessly, and maintained constant communication. Truly a professional in every sense of the word. I'll seek her services again and recommended her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy sitter.”
About: I have owned Dogs and/or Cats my entire life, all family members are Pet Owners. My folks have a small farm and I have been around animals forever, they make life so much better!! I have a fairly open schedule Monday - Friday during the daytime hours. My Wife is a Pastry Chef during the day and I will be available to hangout with your furry family members. Your pets safety and well being are my utmost concern while I am with them and will give them all the attention and time they deserve.
About: I have owned dogs and cats my whole entire life. I have dog-watched for neighbors since I was about 12 years old. I am very loving towards animals and am skilled in washing and walking them. There is nothing better than getting to hang out with animals as they provide an unmatched love in our lives. I currently own two disabled dogs so I like to think no challenge is too big or too small. I enjoy dogs and cats of all sizes. I am very good with time management so I plan to work with you to make sure your pet is getting the best attention while you are away from home. I appreciate your time in considering me for the jobs! I work a remote 9-5 so most evenings I am open but I am willing to schedule something out between work and your pet if you need me mid day I listen to the energy the animal is giving off. I try my best to clear myself of negative feelings and stress so the animals feel more at ease amongst my presence
About: I currently have an open schedule and can come walk and play with your dogs and cats as early or as late as you would like! I am flexible. I've just moved to Vienna, live alone, and have an open schedule. I am flexible and reliable, and would love to play with and care for your dogs and cats! I took care of up to 5 cats and 1 human, simultaneously, for 14 years. They received a lot of my love and attention. We spent lots of time in nature trails, our backyard, and on the couch. And now I'm happy to extend that to your dogs!
“Juan is AMAZING!! He went above and beyond with communication and over all care! My pup has special meds and Juan had no problem with it when feeding breakfast and dinner(: Juan went out of his way to go to a pet store to grab a sweater for my pup because it was cold out during their walks 🥹 It was so comforting to know Brody was with someone who goes the extra mile!! 10000% recommend!!!”

Lindsay was the best! I have a very clingy cat and she didn't hesitate to sit down and spend some time with her every visit. I received text and photo updates every day. It was a big relief knowing my favorites were taken care of while I was away. I'll be booking Lindsay for my time away in the future for sure!
Lei and Skye took wonderful care of my cat. My cat is usually very cautious around people, but she truly trusts Lei, which says a lot. Both Lei and Skye were very responsible and attentive — they checked for throw-up during every visit and cleaned everything up promptly. I could tell they genuinely cared for my cat from the heart, not just as a job. I really appreciated their patience, kindness, and dedication, and I felt very reassured while I was away.
Virginia was great with our two cats while we were away for our wedding, it was great to have peace of mind that they were in good hands. She very clearly loves cats and treated them with so much respect from their very first meeting! She also gave us updates through the Rover app each visit letting us know what mischief the cats got up to!
Kayly was a fantastic sitter for our cat while we were out of town!! She was so nice in our messages and sent us plenty of photos of our cat and made sure she was comfortable and well cared for. She also was very communicative throughout the service and responded to all of our messages very quickly. We’d recommend Kayly to anyone who is looking for a caring and communicative pet sitter!
She was exactly who we needed to care for our finicky sweet cat. Abby communicated with us every time she visited with photos and videos of our kitty. She updated us on our kitty’s patterns and eating habits and learned when she wanted attention and when she needed a little space (so important for cats!). She was flexible with needing to find supplies in the house like trash bags when we didn’t leave enough out. Our cat clearly loved having her there and warmed up to her quickly. Bubs is usually visibly stressed after we are gone even with care but this time she was happy and relaxed when we got back. Abby was really the perfect cat sitter for us!!
We were very impressed and happy with Youyou’s care of Poe! She was very professional, and performed the tasks we asked her to do perfectly. We were grateful for her coming and going notices and appreciated her comments about Poe’s behaviors. Understanding our concerns about Poe’s adapting to a new caretaker, at our request, Youyou took extra time beyond her scheduled time to check on Poe for us. We would definitely invite Youyou back to care for Poe. Thank you, Paula and Thomas
We had to request a last minute sitter for our cats and Zosha was immediately responsive. He was such an amazing sitter for my two kitties! He definitely made me feel like they were in safe hands the whole time and made it very easy to enjoy my trip away without any anxiety. We got pics and updates every single visit. One of my cats required eye ointment twice a day and Zosha did such a great job despite how squirmy my one cat can be. Cannot thank him enough and will definitely be rebooking in the future!!
