“Emily is always so professional and kind. She sends consistent updates and pictures and I feel relaxed knowing she is taking great care of our cat while we’re away. She’s a great communicator and I’d recommend to anyone :)”

“Charlie was absolutely fantastic! Luna is usually very shy, but she seemed a lot more social this time. Charlie took great care of her and gave us detailed updates during our trip. We were both very happy and would definitely book again. Thank you so much!”

“Jeremy took great care of my cat while I was away for a long weekend. He was very communicative and responsive. He sent detailed and comprehensive notes and photos, which I appreciated. I returned to a happy cat and highly recommend Jeremy.”

“Becca took fantastic care of my cat when I was out of town. She was responsive, gave updates & photos, and prioritized giving my needy cat lots of love during her visits. Looking forward to having her catsit again when I'm out of town!”

“Olivia was wonderful and was everything I could have ever wanted in a sitter for my cat. She was communicative, attentive, and kind! Thank you Olivia!!”

“Nicholas was amazing!! It was my first time using Rover and he made the process so easy, even coming early to get the keys. He took amazing care of my cat, and found her every visit (which is very difficult when she hides!) to send me a picture of her, which gave me peace of mind while away. I highly recommend him for cat sitting, I’ll be using him every time I go on a trip!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 13 and quickly became the go-to pet sitter for friends and neighbors. I truly love spending time outdoors, going on long walks, exploring trails, and enjoying the fresh air, and I believe dogs deserve that same active, happy lifestyle. I’m patient, gentle, and always take time to connect with each dog so they feel safe and loved. I’m currently studying and applying for jobs from home, so my schedule is very flexible. That means I can easily fit pet care into my day and adjust to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or drop-in visits, I have plenty of time and energy to give your pets the attention they deserve. I can walk all kinds of dogs with care. I can visit the clients’ home to feed, play and take out dogs, and follow any instructions provided.

“Marvin was Incredibly communicative! Followed all instructions to the letter and made sure my cat was well taken care of. Gave me a lot of peace of mind while on vacation!”

“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.”

“Priscilla was the absolute best with my very shy pup. She was patient and understanding of his needs. Would definitely recommend her and would book her in the future!!!”

“Navya took such great care of our kitty cat while we were away! She went to check on her the same time every day and sent updates and pictures about how she was doing. Zuzu was a happy girl when we got home and very well taken care of! We will definitely book Navya again when we’re in need of someone to take care of our baby.”

About: I'm reliable, and I am happy to care for your furry friend. I am comfortable with larger dogs, and also adore the little ones. I’d love to check in on your feline friend too. I have significant experience dog walking, dog sitting, and cat sitting with Woofies in Northern Virginia and care for my own pup. Dogs are the best people, and I'd love to take yours on a stroll or watch them while you're out of town so they can live their best life. I am typically available 9am-6pm Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays as well as occasional weekdays for services. I’m over in AdMo, and can easily scoot over to several DC neighborhoods. I understand pets have special personalities, training needs, or dietary regimens. I will adhere to the requested services or special procedures to care for your pup or cat.
“Sarah did a wonderful job watching my cat! She sent tons of pictures and kept me updated while I was out of town. Sarah was very responsive as well, and I would definitely use her again.”

“Isabella is amazing as always. She managed to befriend my usually shy cat, is super communicative, and always sends the best photos. Would 1000% recommend :)”

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, especially cats, so I naturally understand their Needs and unique personalities. Even though I’ve never owned a dog of my own, I’ve cared for many dogs through friends and family — from puppies who need full attention to older dogs who need extra patience and care. I also have experience giving pets oral medication, so I’m comfortable following special routines. My goal is always to give each pet the same love, comfort, and attention I’d want for my own! I am currently a full-time student at Howard University so I have class everyday. With any free time I have on my hands not studying or in class, I’d love to help! Im happy to take your pets on walks, give them fresh food and water, and spend quality time with them so they feel cared for while you're away. Im gentle and attentive, making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Building trust is very important to me, and treat one like my own! :)
“Karen & Patrick were amazing sitters and took great care of Leslee while I was on my trip! They communicated with me after each visit and sent updates on Leslee! Thank you guys so much for:))”

“Jordyn is the absolute best. She has been such an amazing help! She’s been extremely accommodating, allowing me to book long term as well as short notice. Her communication is amazing and she’s super sweet. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.”

“Taylor was super responsive and attentive throughout Movingui's stay. She kept us updated and took the initiative when the food robot disconnected. Our cat, who’s a bit picky, was spoiled with cuddles for 15 days! I’m sure Movingui can’t wait to see Taylor again. We highly recommend her 100%! 😊🐾”

“Caris has been an wonderful in looking after our pup. They are exceptionally professional, always responsive and helpful, and clearly care about our pup. Reflective of this - Caris has been wonderful after our dog had surgery, they were attentive to our extended care instructions and we never have to be worried about how our pup is doing when Caris is watching her. We would recommend Caris for anyone who needs help watching or caring for their dogs!”
