Top rated Kalorama pet sitters
“Emily has great energy, learned the ropes easily, and was a pleasure to communicate with. It was clear from the initial meeting and the photos she sent that my two cats enjoyed their time with her. A sitter who can administer fluids is a big plus. Highly recommend!”
“Nicholas is the BEST cat sitter I have ever found for my cat Aries. My cat has a big personality and loves attention. Nicholas gives him all the love and affection while also making sure to maintain the food and litter while I am away. He is also on a prescription diet and Nicholas follows the important feeding schedule perfectly. It gives me such great peace of mind knowing my little talkative fluff ball is being so well taken care of. Thank you!”
“Dylan did a wonderful job making daily visits to our two cats over ten days. In addition to taking care of their basic needs, she sent cute photos, kept in touch about issues and highlights, played with them a lot, and just really appreciated them. As a result everyone bonded and we felt much better about leaving them for an extended period.”
“Marvin was great! He went the extra mile and spent a lot of time opening my door when it was stuck. He sent adorable photos and a video of my cat from his visits. Thanks Marvin!”
About: With my own 6-year old pug, Hank, I have ample dog experience. I am focused on the health and happiness of your pet because a happy pet is a happy life! Working remotely, I am able to spend time with pets mixed perfectly into my daily schedule. I can perfectly organize my schedule to balance your dog's needs! I balance my dogs needs by exposing him to many different activities both inside and outside the home. Within the home we utilize enrichment games and outside the home we explore parks and fun new places for him to run and sniff!
“Antonella has been an amazing help with my two pets! She’s reliable, communicative, flexible, and I can tell she really treats my pets with care. I’m so grateful and will be using her services again!”
“Priscilla is an awesome sitter! She’s kind, responsible, and very trustworthy. My cat loves her and I know she’s in good hands with Priscilla.”
“Carol was great! She came within the timeframe and took great care of Winnie. She even stopped by for a quick meet up before. I would definitely recommend Carol for your pet sitting needs!”
“Natalie was amazing! So sweet to my puppy Gus and understanding of a quick turn request! I was a running a few minutes late home and she was so kind about it!”
“Jeremy showed extraordinary attention to detail in caring for our young shorthair for a week, writing very personalized messages (with photos) describing all of her actions. This not only showed how much Jeremy loves the animals he takes care of, it also made us feel comforted that our cat was acting like herself while we were gone. Jeremy followed all our instructions, but was also attentive to unexpected problems, such as cleaning up after accidents. We think you’ll have the same very positive experience working with Jeremy!”
“Ricky was awesome with my cat, Leo! He went above and beyond to ensure my cat and my home were well cared for while I was out of the country. I really appreciated his daily notes on Leo and the pictures. My cat can be a little particular about who he likes, and he warmed up to Ricky right away. I’d absolutely love to have him watch my cat again the next time I’m away!”
“This is my second time booking with Ashley and I already have my next booking with her. She’s great with my cat and gives really good updates. Highly recommend!”
“Stephanie took such good care of my cat while I was gone for a weekend! She gave updates with pictures and a detailed messages, and gave him plenty pets and play time!”
“Olivia was amazing with our 13 year old toothless rescue cat - she spent a lot of time with her when we were away and from the photos she shared it’s clear that our Ella loved her. She took extra good care of Ella and even went out of her way to clean up some ants near Ella’s food. We will definitely hire Olivia again!”
