“Michael was great—easy to communicate with, thorough during each visit, and provided excellent daily updates. He was wonderful with my cat and clearly an animal person. I’d definitely book with him again.”

Adam B.

Rachael C.

“This young lady is an outstanding pet sitter!! I intend to hire her always, if she is available when I'm away. I am very ill! Again, a big thanks to Emma!! Mr. Duvall”

John D.

“Molly was great! She was responsive and communicative. She followed our list and shared updates both for our pet and on our home. Our home was tidy (no spills or messes). My cat who is terrified of strangers even came out from under the bed for her which is HUGE. Would definitely have her back!”

Claire B.

“Katherine is awesome! Very lucky to have her nearby :) She always goes the extra mile - refilling his water, giving him treats, etc. and leaves detailed notes for us.”

About: I have 14 years of pet care experience with dogs and 3 years with cats! I'm a lifelong animal lover, practicing naming dog breeds from the stroller. I grew up with a yellow lab and recently was roommates with a long-haired cat. I don't have any pets of my own right now, meaning my heart is very open to loving your pets as if they were my own! I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes including labs, goldens, pitties, doodles, and Pyrenees plus both short and long haired cats. I am a hobbyist photographer and can provide you with an included high-quality pet portrait after your booking! Examples listed in my photos. I’m currently a masters student with evening classes. I’m able to care for your pets with walks or check ins until ~5pm most weekdays except Wednesdays. Dogs: I like to keep things within your dog's regular routine. Let me know their usual walking route and their needs. Please let me know their favorite treats, toys, and if there is anything else I should be aware of! I will ensure they are always on leash when outside and have plenty of water inside. Cats: I love playing and/or relaxing with cats! Please let me know their favorite treats and toys! I know cats need playtime just like dogs. Grooming: I am happy to brush your dog or cat if desired and ensure your dog doesn’t track any mud inside after a walk. Litter: If desired, I can clean your cat’s litter box during a home visit!

“Yulia was great! Fig was very happy when I got home and everything looked good - full water and clean litter box. She also took lots of great photos! Highly recommend.”

Paige W.

“Sarah did a wonderful job taking care of my pet! Sarah was responsive, communicated well, shared check-in photos, and kept the space clean. Overall, Sarah was very caring for my pet and went above and beyond to make sure my pet had everything she needed. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter for their pet.”

About: Hi! My name is Katy, and I love dogs of all kinds - I grew up with dogs and have experience pet sitting since I was in high school. I currently work in-office Tues-Thurs, but am happy to do home stays during that time if there is someone who can check on the dogs while I’m away during the day I have experience being around all kinds of dogs, and I’m very attentive to their needs and communication. I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with them!

“Monica took such amazing care of our cat and we are so thankful for all of her updates and photos! We could tell our cat was well loved in our absence!”

Patric R.

“Amy has been absolutely fantastic! From our very first meeting, she was incredibly professional and responsive. During every visit, she provided thorough updates that kept us completely at ease while we were away. Our cat, Luxe, usually sticks to the bed, but he actually waited on the couch to greet Amy the moment she walked in. It was so heartening to hear how much they bonded; he followed her around the house and even felt comfortable enough to demand water from the sink! Amy went above and beyond, handling everything smoothly even when Luxe was stressed and dealing with an upset stomach. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend her!”

Dune A.

“Janice loved him immediately (and that does NOT happen with strangers with her). Always a good sign!”

Alexis A.

“Mars was wonderful, yet again, with the dog sitting. He left our dogs well cared for and our unit in the same condition as when we left. We would gladly book him again.”

About: I've lived the full dog parent journey. I've trained three dogs from puppies, so I understand the chewing, the zoomies, and the training milestones. I've also cared for senior dogs, including giving medications on schedule. Whatever stage your pup is in, they'll be in experienced, loving hands. I work a hybrid schedule, so I'm home most of the day to give your pup plenty of attention, potty breaks, and company. I live right near a park, which means lots of walks, fresh air, and playtime built into our daily routine. I'm an active person by nature, so your dog will stay engaged and well exercised. On weekends, I'm fully available for boardings. I live in a cozy three level townhome (shared with my brother and lots of love for dogs) with a fenced in yard that's perfect for safe off-leash play. We're a quick five minute walk from Meridian Hill Park.

“Sophia was a lifesaver and helped us out super last minute, I will definitely book with her in the future and highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve owned pets, both cats and dogs, my whole life. Now that I’m living in the city and far from my family’s dogs, I miss the energy that a dog brings to everyday life. I work remotely from home with flexible hours. I am working on getting my steps in, so I’m happy to take pets on frequent short or long bathroom breaks or walks. I care for pets making sure the home is stocked with food and water, litter is clean, and that the space is friendly. I like to leave some toys around to encourage activity when I’m not present.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I grew up caring for three rescue dogs, helping them overcome fear and anxiety, build trust, and feel safe and loved as they adjusted to life in a caring home. Throughout my whole life I have looked after countless neighborhood, friends, and family dogs and cats. I grew up in a family passionate about rescuing animals of all kinds, from cats and dogs to birds and horses. I previously worked in administration at LSU’s School of Veterinary Medicine and have many close friends who are veterinarians. While I’m not a vet myself, these connections have deepened my appreciation for animal health and care! About six years ago, I took in a cat in Louisiana as a hurricane approached. He was underweight and unwell, so I made sure he received the veterinary care he needed to get healthy and thrive. He became my beloved boy (the orange tabby cat in my profile photos), and today, he’s a happy member of my family and sports a new bow tie for every holiday. Being a cat mom is one of my greatest joys! ❤️ I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of dog and cat check-in visits and dog walks! On weekdays I can easily accommodate morning and evenings. Weekends I am available to book at any time! I prefer serving the Georgetown, Dupont Circle, West End, and Foggy Bottom neighborhoods. At this time, I’m accepting cat/dog drop-in visits and dog walks only, and am not offering overnight care or boarding. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I provide walks, playtime, feeding, litter cleaning for cats, cuddles, and simple pill administration, always tailoring my care to your pet’s unique personality and individual preferences. 🐾

About: I have 5 years of extensive, paid cat sitting experience. For two years, I cared for a pair of boys whose mom traveled often, and last year alone I spent about five months with them. I even bought them their own professional grooming brush! The bond we built is one of the most meaningful of my life. I know cats love their routines, so I keep feeding, litter scooping, and playtime just the way you do them. Shy cats get their space, but I always make sure they're eating, using the litter box, and acting like themselves. You'll get photo updates every visit. Hablo español. I live in the West End, close to Francis Dog Park, so I can get to nearby homes quickly. My schedule is wide open in early and mid-December. I start a graduate program in January and will update my availability then. I plan my week ahead, so you can count on me arriving on time. On walks, I check that collars and harnesses fit snugly and keep dogs leashed unless you've approved off-leash play at the dog park. On drop-ins, I follow your feeding and medication instructions exactly, watch for door-dashing cats, and double-check every door and lock before I leave. You'll get photo updates every visit, and I keep your vet's number handy.
