About: i’ve taken care of all different types of animals and rescued more then i can count i love animals so much so that’s part of the reason i’m here also to pay with school i can take care of animals all day i do school from home so that’s another reason why i wanted to try this app i feel like i’d be a very good fit i have a fenced in yard and a open home i’m often in my room doing school and when im not i’m always taking care of my plants so the animals will most likely just be chilling sleeping in my room and then go outside with me in the fenced back yard

About: I’ve had the opportunity to dog, cat, and house sit for several families, many of whom have trusted me to care for their pets multiple times. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m happy to help with everything from feeding and letting pets out during the day to playing with them, giving them attention, and keeping them company in the evenings. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands! I work part-time Tuesday through Thursday, typically during the day and finishing by late afternoon. I’m off Friday and Saturday, as well as most of Sunday. On Mondays, I work from 6–9 PM but am available during the day. I’m also a graduate student, which means I spend a good amount of time at home working on schoolwork. This gives me plenty of flexibility to spend time with your pets throughout the day—whether that’s going for a walk, playing, feeding them, letting them out, or simply keeping them company and giving them lots of love and attention. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they get the care and attention they need while you’re away I love spending time with the pets and making sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll spend quality time with them, play with them, take them on walks when appropriate, and give them plenty of attention and affection. I also understand how important your pet’s routine is. I’ll do my best to follow their normal schedule and routines in your home so they can feel comfortable and secure. Whether they need playtime, a walk, some extra cuddles, or simply someone nearby, I want them to feel happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away

About: I am a former manager of a Doggy Daycare in the greater DC Metropolitan area, Pet and Home Care. This daycare was an outdoor yard which contained up to 40 dogs at a time, of all breeds, sizes, and different behaviors. As an involved worker, I gained extensive experience, and learned how to enforce training, administer medications, work with aggressive/difficult breeds, and handle all animal care needs with ease. Through this company, I also did overnight pet visits in the clients home, in-home walks, visits, & feedings, and special requests. I've cared for dogs, cats, exotic animals, farm animals, and more. I am a former nanny, and former cat-owner myself, and have devoted my entire life to caring for animals and people. I consider myself a fun-loving, empathetic, energetic human who is ready to take on any challenges. Thanks for giving this a read, let me know if you have any other questions for me! I am a seasonal gig worker, so when I am home, I stay home! I will not leave your pet alone for more than 4 hours at a time (at most), and pride myself on being active and fun. I love to go on walks, have plenty of space in my yard to run around (on a leash of course), and live near dog parks if you're comfortable with that. You let me know what your dog needs schedule wise, and I will work with it! I have an large non-fenced, open yard. I don't have a lot of neighbors near the property, nor other animals, and I've always walked dogs (and sometimes cats!) on a leash around my property for a short time. Across the street is a proper neighborhood with sidewalks and suburbs where I will take dogs on any walk longer than 15 minutes. I have a one bedroom house, ground level, with no other pets, roommates, or unexpected visitors. I am a big cuddler, and want the pets to feel calm and at home when they are with me.

“Melissa was amazing! She came and met my Pixie before we had to go on our trip. She sent me pictures everyday and let me know how she was. Melissa was super nice and did more then needed!!”

“She took great care of our dog and our cats overnight while we were away. She communicated frequently and felt like our animals were in good hands. We will be hiring her again :-)”

“Margo was fantastic at taking care of my two senior dogs, 7 lb morkie and 7 lb chihuahua. She arrived on time, found my garage door was open, closed it, sent me photos and walked them, fed them and spent quality time with them. Very responsible and a joy to have. Note, my morkie is feisty on walks and barks at everyone. We did a test walk and she handled him beautifully. Thank you Margo!”

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have watched other family and friends dogs and cats. I love caring for animals of all kinds. I currently work part time as an esthetician and have off Saturday to Monday, sometimes I’ll have off additional days during the week depending on my schedule and don’t currently work long hours so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I care for pets in my clients home as if they were my own. I follow owners requests and pet’s schedules such as potty breaks, feeding times, any medications, or exercise. At my home, I have a fenced in backyard with no pool and no children.

“Julianna is a very competent sitter. She took great care of my golden and kept me updated with texts and pictures. I strongly recommend her.”

About: Hi! My name is Starla, and animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have four dogs of my own and have grown up caring for many different types of animals. My love for pets is what inspired me to start dog walking and pet sitting. I understand that pets are family, and I will care for your furry friend as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I am dedicated to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I am responsible, trustworthy, patient, and passionate about animal care, and I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I look forward to giving your pet the attention, care, and affection they deserve I love all my animals, they are my life. Everything I do revolves around them, so I’m very sure your dog is safe with me! I have a fenced yard in plenty of furry babies. Your dog can play with. I love each animal that comes my way, and respect your animal boundaries by caring for them.

“Kaitlyn was absolutely amazing! She stayed overnight for 4 days at my home to care for my two dogs, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing they weren’t alone. That meant everything to me. She was incredibly responsive, always on time, and kept me updated, which made the whole experience stress free. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when I got back. I would 100 percent recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. She’s a great choice!”

“Aaliyah was absolutely fabulous with my 3 month old puppy. She stayed the entire time during my house sit and sent lots of update pictures to ease my nerves of leaving him for the first time. I strongly recommend Aaliyah and will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I have taken care of pets for 30 years. I enjoy their lack of talk back and when they show affection after building trust. Great feeling! I currently work from home when needed and have plenty of time to spend with your pets and giving them the best care day or night. I have two cats and they are indoor outdoor. I would love to spend time walking dogs and building trust with them. I do dog sit and walk my neighbors small dog.

About: Though I do not have a yard, I do understand the importance of daily activity (especially for dogs) and in regards to that, I live in close proximity to two dog parks. Growing up around different animals, I’ve grown fond, familiar, and comfortable with caring for different species (from rodents to felines and canines and pretty much anything in between). I am looking to make extra money and gain experience with different breeds of animals, as I am planning to embark on a journey into veterinary school. I love all animals and believe wholly in treating and caring for them correctly. I’ve had cats, dogs, rodents (gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs) , ferrets, birds, reptiles (leopard geckos and turtles), and rabbits just to name a few. I’m always willing to go the extra mile for an animal (whether it’s my pet or not) and I get along with practically any animal and fully believe in building a strong bond with pets.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and understand how important it is to know your pets are safe and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I’d want for my own. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to following your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication instructions (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I know every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and secure. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play or prefers a calm, quiet environment, I’ll provide personalized care to meet their needs. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m excited to build lasting relationships with both pets and their owners by providing dependable, compassionate care every time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication instructions if needed, and any house rules. I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I also keep doors and gates secure, use leashes during walks unless otherwise instructed, and provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: Love animals and have always had dogs. Most recently, my 14 year old retriever taught me all the tricks to get picky pups to take their pills. I have a fenced in yard and love taking furry friends for walks. My husband and I currently work 8 to 5 during the week and are off on weekends so there is plenty of time for pet care/love. I have a fenced in yard and live on a dirt, dead end street, perfect for walks. No other pets in the house currently. We could also stay at your place if it’s easier for your dogs (mine was a home body so I can relate).
