“Jordan did an amazing job with Zola as always. She is great in the best of circumstances but what I really appreciate about Jordan is how she manages the unexpected problems that sometimes come up. She goes above and beyond and communicates so well it’s easy to figure out solutions together. Thank you!”

About: I've been around animals most of my life, with my own dog and cat and often visiting my grandparents farm and seeing the animals there. Ive pet sat for a variety of dogs and cats before even a horse and understand the multitude of personalities that come with them. I find joy in getting to know your pet and take the time understanding their body language and hearing what they have to say! I am a flexable chill animal lover who enjoys spending time with a furry friend :) I have a very flexable schedule which gives me plenty of time to spend with your pet! Checking in for a walk or potty break is easy and can happen often! I always love going over your comfortably level and what you expect of me on the job! I appreciate finding out the lay of the land with your home and yard when house sitting/check ins and often take notes so ill remember!

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 14, I have watched all sorts of pets with different needs and personalities. I actually helped deliver my dog bear. I have taken care of birds, cats, dogs, fish, plants, children, and always received positive feedback. I have taken care of reactive animals, animals with anxiety, medication needs, I’ve taken care of older animals and young animals. I am planning on going to college in the fall for marine biology, I have a car and am willing to drive. I am currently unemployed and am looking to find some solid ways to make money for college by doing something I love. I will cater to your pets needs and do whatever needs to be done to give you and your pets a stress free environment. I can take them to appointments, I know how to crate, give injections, I will follow how YOU want the animal to be cared for, whether that’s by giving them space or attention.

“Holly was so incredible with our three pups. They adored her and loved all the love and snuggles she provided. She also sent many picture updates which I appreciated during our 6 day booking. She was on top of the communication and we would highly recommend her!”

“Nicole checked in daily and sent photos of my boys. She left the house clean and tidy. I am thankful for Nicole’s easy manner and making me feel confident that I left the dogs in good hands. Patty”

“Always a pleasure having Carlynn stay at our home. She is respectful, communicative and takes great care of our fur babies. She even helped care for our small bird. She left our home clean and well cared for. We hope to book her again in the future!”

“Jordan watched our fur babies in our home for 11 days. She did an amazing job. The babies were well taken care of as was our home. She returned the home to ready status by doing the bed laundry and leaving no trace. But, the most important was the care and love our wee ones received. I can tell they took to her and were comfortable and at peace while we were away. Knowing that brought great comfort. Thank you Jordan. We really appreciate you.”

“Elisa is the absolute best! She loves are doggies as much as we do. And our home is always spotless upon our return. Thank you SO much Elisa!”

“Diana is our go-to. My dogs are bark-y and complicated and they adore her. She knows dog behavior, takes SUCH good care of them, and I swear our house was cleaner when we came back than when we left. Would recommend to anyone without hesitation.”

Kristina S.

“Juan stepped into provide home care for Brodie, our King Charles. The service was excellent, especially considering this occurred during the recent period of challenging weather and flooding conditions. Juan was great at keeping me updated and sending photos. He also managed a seamless handover to a friend who took over Brodie’s care for the remainder of my time abroad. I’m happy to recommend him.”

About: I am a lifelong cat and dog lover, currently the much fur-covered owner of two black cats who were trained to high five for their daily treats. I have volunteered at our local shelter in the past, work well with both large and small dogs. I believe in positive reinforcement methods and a calm, patient presence, allowing animals to approach me at their own pace. I raised my current set of cats from about 6-weeks old, and have some experience with injections and administering oral meds. If your pet will need medication, I'll ask you to demonstrate your method and leave written instructions. I am a graphic design contractor working remotely, which allows a great deal of flexibility when it comes to locations, scheduling, and the needs of your pets. I try to keep a general 7am-3pm schedule for work, but my tasks are usually flexible, which allows me to adjust free time to allow for walks, exercise, or feeding schedules. If you entrust me with the care of your pets and residence, I will request written pet care guides for your animals so I can maintain their routines and keep them as comfortable as possible while their owners are away. I willl have my phone handy at all times for communication, and will happily snap photos of your pets every day, especially if they are doing something silly.

About: Passionate about loving and caring for animals, with professional service-dog training experience and expertise handling small, large, and giant breeds, working dogs, medically complex pets, and animals requiring individualized attention. My experience ranges from Jack Russells to a medically high-maintenance Great Dane and, currently, my white German Shepherd. I also have professional dog-training experience with Brandon McMillan at Lucky Dog Ranch in Los Angeles, including service-dog training. That experience taught me the importance of understanding canine behavior, body language, consistency, structure, and adapting my approach to each individual dog. I’m comfortable with strong and energetic dogs, seniors, special-needs pets, detailed feeding routines, and dogs requiring additional attention or care. I understand how difficult it can be to find someone you genuinely trust to walk or care for your beloved pet. I treat every dog as an individual, respect the training and routines you have established, and provide the same attentive, dependable care I would want for my own. I believe dogs thrive with consistency, so I do my best to maintain the schedule and routine they’re already comfortable with. I’ll follow your preferences for walks, meals, medications, potty breaks, playtime, training, and downtime. I’m active and happy to accommodate everything from leisurely neighborhood walks to longer, more energetic outings for dogs who need extra exercise and stimulation. I also make time for play, enrichment, affection, and plenty of rest. Every dog is different, so I tailor the day around their age, energy level, personality, and individual needs rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Safety and trust always come first. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I take the time to understand their normal routine, personality, training, feeding schedule, medical needs, and any behaviors or triggers I should be aware of. My professional service-dog training experience has taught me to pay close attention to canine body language and behavior, use calm and consistent handling, and create an environment where dogs feel safe and comfortable. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and maintain the routines and boundaries their dog already knows. Walks are handled responsibly, doors and gates are always checked, and pets are supervised with their safety and comfort in mind. When caring for pets in your home, I’m equally respectful of your space and privacy. My goal is simple: for you to feel completely confident that both your pet and your home are in responsible, caring hands.

About: I grew up with a Pomeranian. I was also in a long term relationship where we had a Pomeranian and medium sized mixed dog and even a Savannah cat who was a menace but I had a lot of patience with her even though she liked to scratch and bite me as a kitten haha. I think she was only 2 generations away from a wild Serval cat and thats why she was extra crazy haha but we raised her well! After the relationship, she took the pets and I miss the pets so I would like to play with and walk some pets haha. I think I’d be a great sitter because I’m a homebody and I don’t go a lot of places and I also don’t like leaving dogs because I feel too bad for them when they’re alone. I’m doing remote contract work as a web developer so taking care of pets would be a piece of cake to include in my schedule! I am very gentle with pets and I like to play and walk with them. When I had my own pets, I was a sucker for their cuteness and I shared my people food with them if it is safe for them but obviously I will follow whatever food rules you have for your pets! I want pets to have as much fun as they can so I can do multiple walks a day and play with them a lot!

“My husband and I could not recommend Sara enough! After planning an extended holiday, we looked for reliable care for our cat with feline herpes. We reviewed Sara's profile, read about her extensive experience with animals, and scheduled to meet with her in person. After meeting, we were sure we had made the right choice! She was kind, responsible, and we felt comfortable to hand over the keys to our apartment to her. Sara stayed in our home for over two weeks and provided excellent care for our cat. She communicated with us daily through pictures and written text, and allowed us to to fully enjoy our time away without worrying! When we found out that we were going to experience extremely high heat in Washington, Sara offered to go to our house a day early to make sure that our little guy had access to extra water and a cool space in our apartment! We came home to a happy kitty and a perfectly clean space. We would highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet!”

“Emalie was amazing and she took great care of our pets and house while we were away. I would highly recommend her for taking care of your furry friends!”

“Kevin did a fantastic job taking care of our 4-year old Bernedoodle. He followed our directions explicitly, asked questions when needed and kept us abreast of their interactions throughout his stay. We can't wait to leave town again so that we can have him back!”

About: I’m calm, reliable, and genuinely like getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. I’m detail-oriented without being fussy, so I’ll follow your instructions, keep things consistent, and make sure your pet gets the right mix of care, attention, play, and affection while you’re away. I work part time remotely, and can do my job from just about anywhere. That means your pet is going to get all the love and attention they need from me. I live near the greenbelt and enjoy long walks with or without dogs. I'm happy to set up in your space, too if your animal companion prefers to stay in a familiar spot.

“Bonnie took excellent care of my cat Fish! It's clear she has lots of love and patience for cats. She was able to get Fish to warm up to her after a couples days and even got some snuggles towards the end of the sit, which says of a lot since Fish is pretty shy with new people. I came home to a very happy kitty and clean home. I wouldn't hesitate to reach out again the next time I need pet care.”
