“Thank you so much!”

“Alexandra took great care of my pup! I was provided with updates and photos.”

“Aiden was great with Ozzy! He communicated well, was on time, and a friendly person. Our dog had just had surgery, so we had guidance on keeping Ozzy away and safe from other dogs. We trusted Aiden to take good care of Ozzy, and he did. Would definitely use him again.”

About: Hello! I am appreciative of all fuzzy friends, big and small. I have two cats of my own, with loads of dog care experience. I have lots of experience with young puppies, senior pets who need medication (oral pills or otherwise), fickle kitties, and shy pets. I’ve trained three cats from kittens, and can provide care for those still learning litter box manners. I work a traditional 9-5, and wfh 3 days a week. Depending on the day, I can offer a lunch break check in, meal time pop ins, and lots of weekend love! As a visitor of your home, I am open to whatever method you employ for your friend’s safety. I have experience with crate training and am happy to continue your training practices. In my own home, I keep my cats safe by keeping out a toxic plants/food items and practicing general cat safety (no breakables near the shelf edges ifkyk).

“I never worried. Tracy arrived at the times I wanted walks; my dog got a good walk, and I got updates and photos. I'm definitely calling Tracy again !”

Karen R.

“Jondle was great with our older (and sometimes stubborn) French bulldog! She was very responsive throughout the entire process and made a point to come meet me and Eloise before she started caring for her.”

Gigi R.

“Katherine was extraordinarily communicative, professional, and flexible even on short notice. I had so much peace of mind knowing that she was taking care of my pup while I was at work.”

About: Hello! I have been a regular pet-sitter, mostly for dogs, for 5 years. I am a patient, conscientious caregiver who loves to play, take walks, and cuddle with pets of any breed, size, and personality :) I am currently pursuing my masters degree during the evening at American University, but otherwise my schedule is very flexible. I am more than happy to pop into your home for quick dog walks, provide more intensive care like overnight/weekend sitting, and care for your pet like it's my own! I only have classes on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 5:30-8:00 pm, and can absolutely work around these commitments. I am a very hands-on, responsible petsitter who has experience working with dogs and cats that require a lot of attention and also have medical needs. I am comfortable administering medication to pets and caring for more than one pet as well. Fostering comfort, happiness, and your pet's wellbeing is what I pride myself on!

About: I have 10 plus years of pet sitting experience from dog walking to month long overnight pet sitting. I have had dogs and a cat all my life and whenever I am able to be around dogs they always improve my day. I grew up with 3 dogs so I am able to handle a large pack. I have taken care of a variety of animals types, from energetic kittens to 100 pound Bernese mountain dogs. I will spend quality time with your pet ensuring that they are satisfied at the end of every visit as I would my own animals. I am excited to entertain and care for your dogs, as a former cross country runner I am also comfortable running with your dog to expend some extra energy. I am currently a remote worker so I am able to come to your home whenever is needed. With such flexible hours of you need a sitter at obscure times I can make it work! I will always make sure that your home is treated with respect. When staying or visiting I use the Girl Scout rule of, leave the space better than how you found it! I am fully remote so I love having pets around the house to get me up, out and moving. With my remote schedule I rarely have a day with a full schedule, meaning I can play, walk and care for your pets however needed! When your pet enters my home our schedules and lifestyles will become one. The most important aspect of pet sitting to me is a comfortable, happy animal and with my WFH lifestyle it's easy for me to pick up those clues and adjust!

“Shanell was fantastic! She’s very friendly with my dogs, handled them well, and went on a walk and to the park. She was able to navigate my complex building instructions w/o any issues”

“Was great about staying in contact with me, and so prompt! Thank you so much!!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, especially cats, but my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Charlie, has a special place in my heart. He had some mental health struggles, and caring for him taught me a ton about patience and being a super attentive pet parent. Having a dog full-time doesn’t fit into my life right now, so Rover is the perfect way play with some pups and make some extra cash :) Currently, I live with two chill cats who run the house and live their best lives. If your pet needs some love, care, or just someone who can keep up with their routine, I’m your person. I work part time at a boutique clothing store and part time freelancing as a fashion stylist. I have flexibility in my schedule for sure. I prioritize safety and trust in my pet sitting services to ensure your pets are well cared for. During walks, I use sturdy, secure leashes and stay alert to potential hazards, such as traffic and other animals, to keep your pet safe. I also choose quiet routes and avoid busy areas to minimize stress. At home, I create a secure environment by removing hazards like toxic plants and small objects. I ensure your pet has access to fresh water and follow their routine for feeding, playtime, and bathroom breaks. Regular check-ins allow me to monitor their behavior and vibe. I maintain open communication, providing you with updates and photos so you can relax, knowing your beloved pet is in trusted hands. I’m always down to text or call and keep you in the loop.

“Anne was a life saver for me and Ghost. I was in a pinch looking for someone to take care of Ghost for the two days I had an in-office training and Anne was super communicative and even did a meet and greet for us. The hour long walks helped break up a lonely day for Ghost and eased my anxiety about leaving him home alone.”

About: While i’m new to the app I am the trusted pet sitter for all my friends! I can match the needs of your pet based on whatever they’re feeling like that day. I have more experience walking small and medium sized dogs and hanging out inside with larger dogs. I know how to give oral medication, and have experienced giving injections to cats so I can learn with dogs too if needed! I also have senior pet care experience as well meaning medication, arthritis massages, and anything your baby needs! I just finished my master’s degree so I have a very open availability. I am available M-F 10am - 9pm. I am open to being flexible with what is needed! When in your home your rules go. If you have a list and specific care that is what I will do. Keeping an eye on pets is important even inside the home so they will have my full attention! When walking the leash stays on and we will be the perfect pedestrians. If I have any questions about your pets rules I will ask before you leave us so we make sure we have a fun and safe time together!

“This was our second time using Krystal to walk our dog and we love booking her! She’s always prompt with the walk times that we pre-set, she sends photos of our dog, and I can only imagine how much my dog loves to see her! We will continue to use Krystal as our dog walker!”

Courtney B.

“Rigatoni loves Lauren! She is so positive, sweet and patient with our anxious little guy! Lauren always gives detailed and helpful updates on how the walk went. We are so glad he has a bestie in the neighborhood!”

About: I've been around animals my whole life, about 35 years now. Growing up, my house was basically a small zoo. We had cats, lovebirds, finches, a sun conure, a chinchilla, a bearded dragon, turtles, fish, and even a pet chicken. My mom worked at a pet shop for over ten years, so we were always taking in animals that needed extra care or medication while they recovered. Dogs came later in life and I fell for them hard. I've lived with roommates' dogs, done pet sits through TrustedHousesitters, and I help look after my family's cat. All of that made me pretty calm and easy to have around your pet, and I can usually read what an animal needs before it turns into a problem. One more thing: I do standup comedy on the side, so expect a lot of ridiculous photos and videos of your pet. Your updates definitely won't be boring. I work from home, so I'm around during the day when a lot of sitters aren't. That makes me a good fit for daytime walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. When I'm house sitting I can set up my laptop at your place and work from there as long as there's wifi, which means your pet has company most of the day instead of an empty house. I'm flexible on weekdays and weekends, early or late, and I'll always sort out the timing with you ahead of time. When I'm in your home I stick to your routines and house rules exactly, and I treat your space with respect (I'm the guest who does the dishes). Doors, gates, and leashes always stay secure. On walks I wear a body cam, so if anything ever happens you'll have as much detail as possible. It keeps me accountable and gives you peace of mind while I keep an eye on your dog and everything around us, from traffic to other dogs to that one suspicious squirrel. You'll get regular photo and text updates, feeding and meds exactly how you've asked, and fresh water down at all times. If something ever feels off you'll hear from me right away, and I know when it's time to call a vet.

“George had a great walk and extra time outdoors while I was out for a full day. Thomas responded to George’s needs as an older dog sensitive to hot weather. He loved getting out for fresh air and I got a lot of cute photos!”

“Drew is a fantastic dog walker - He’s reliable, communicative, and clearly great with dogs. Lily absolutely loves her time with him, and she comes back happy and well-exercised every time. It gives me real peace of mind knowing she’s in such good hands. I highly recommend Drew to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker.”

Pam M.

“Kristin has been amazing with our dog Wrigley! She has been incredibly professional and communicative, always responding quickly and letting us know in advance of any schedule changes. I highly recommend Kristin!”
