“Ksenia is an absolutely AMAZING sitter! She writes detailed notes about her visit and takes tons of photos. She was very understanding of our two cats different needs (one very social, one very shy) and handled them perfectly. We felt very comfortable knowing our babies were so well taken care of while we were away. I will definitely try to book Ksenia again the next time we are away!”


“Provided great care for our border collie while we were away!”


About: I’ve had dogs in my life since the day I was born! Once I didn’t have a dog of my own anymore I thought why not extend care to dogs of the city. I am a teacher and have a completely free schedule for the summer. I take quite substantial walks everyday to keep active and love to take dogs with me. I am very used to pet care even for the more stubborn of the bunch. I am very comfortable feeding, walking, crating or giving your pet medicine.

“Josie took care of our two cats Darcy and Noodle, and we only have good things to say. She gave them all the attention, pets, and brushes they could want.”


“Christina was great! She was timely, sent lots of pictures, and also let me know when my fluffy kitty had some hairballs. She has great attention to detail, and my timid baby absolutely LOVED her. Definitely will book again!!”


“Jordan was great! She sent tons of photos, included updates and our little guy loved having her come by. Will absolutely re-book with Jordan again!!”


“It was our first time using Rover and using a sitter/walker for our puppy and it was great! I had a busy 2 days and I was unable to be home all day so Jon came twice each day and walked, fed, and played with my pup for an hour each visit. He maximized the time he had and followed any rules I had (due to my pup being so young he can’t explore as much just yet ). I had some anxiety about leaving my puppy for the first time since he’s only 14 weeks old but Jon made it easy. Highly recommend!!”



“As always, Ihana took perfect care of our two dogs, Jack and Lexi, during a short notice trip. The dogs love her! Thanks, Ihana, for the peace of mind of knowing they were in good hands!”


“Elani did a fabulous job taking care of my elderly cat over the holiday. She cleaned up after an accident and upset stomach, common in old cats. She ensured I returned to a taken care of cat and home. Very thoughful and terrific person.”


“Amanda was fantastic! She dropped in to watch my cats while I was away for the weekend. She fed them and cleaned the litter box. She even left them a toy! Outstanding!”



About: I've trained a lot of puppies, nurtured and fed abandoned kittens and looked after all my dogs as they entered their senior years. I love to hike and play with dogs of all ages and enjoy the company of cats. I have time on my hands now and really want to spend more time with more animals. I know all the dog parks in the area including Westgrovein Alexandria (I am a donor), the Mile at Tysons, Fort Ethan Allen in Arlington, and Cabin John in Maryland. I have a lot of availability in general and with notice can accommodate most days and times including weekends. I have a 4 year old fox terrier who loves other dogs and people, so my regular dog walking includes time for him too. Our dog is always with us, and yours will be too! We no longer use a crate now that he is grown up, but have one large crate for dogs who need private space and peace. We allow off leash play wherever possible and actively seek out dog parks and trails where dogs can run and play to their heart's content.


“Elise is wonderful! She responded quickly and was accommodating to a last minute request. My dog Monty responded very well to her and she communicated thoroughly for each of the drop in visits. I will be using her again in the future!”


About: I’ve been thinking care of the dogs since I was young. I am a Nanny live-in and dogs babysit in the same time. They sleep with me in the bed when their owner is gone. I love walking them outside. I trained them to listen to me in Thai and English. I have experience in walking the dog outside. I have 2 clients who trust me to walk there dog now. I’m normally free 9 AM - 12:20 PM on the weekdays. After 7 PM on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday And Friday. I sometimes free all day on Saturday. And I am free after 1 pm every Sunday. I would love to take care of the dogs in your house or walking them around your neighborhood. Because I don’t have my own place to take care of other dogs here.

“Jessi was absolutely fantastic! Throughout our entire trip she kept us updated with photos and text updates of our two cats. Would highly recommended to anyone in the area :)”


“Katherine was very attentive to my pets. She gave me daily check ins via pictures and texts. I recommend her to anyone needing pet care.”


“I couldn’t be happier with the care Gabriela provided for my cat while I was away. She is incredibly calm, attentive, and genuinely present, something that really matters when you have a cat who needs companionship and not just quick check ins. I could tell she took the time to actually spend time with him, not just go through the motions. Communication was smooth and easy from start to finish. I always felt in the loop, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat was in good hands with someone so reliable and engaged. Highly recommend!”


About: I may not have a pet of my own, but I'm always surrounded by them—nearly all of my family and friends have pets, and I’ve spent years helping care for them. On top of that, recently, I just finished a 3 week long internship at “Playful Pack” which is a daycare and boarding service for dogs. With friends and family, whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just keeping them company, I’ve been the go-to person when they need an extra hand. I'm currently in the process of looking for a part-time job for this summer, but aside from that, I'm basically free all day, every day. That means I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care on a daily basis, whether it’s walking, feeding, grooming, or just spending quality time with the pet. When caring for pets, my main concerns is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client’s home, I will always follow their specific instructions regarding feeding, walking, medication, and routine. I will also give plenty of attention, playtime, and affection to keep pets happy and relaxed while their owners are away.

“Sarah was great! She helped me out very last minute and was super easy to communicate with. I got pictures and updates during her visits. Would book again!”



About: I provide constant care and very flexible hours! I have lived with my best friend Lucky which I have raised since he was 3 weeks old. He has lived with me for the last 10 years and I hope I gave him the love he deserves as much as I received from him. I don't know many tricks and skills, but I am fairly knowledgeable with potty training and walking. I don't offer many extra skills to go along with taking care of your pals, but I do make sure they are watched constantly and walked properly. I will try to show them an amazing time! I work full time at home so I can keep a consistent schedule! Walks and potty breaks are no problem for me as well as feeding! I like to keep a close watch to make sure their needs are met. I will try to walk often so that the dogs aren't sitting bored at home!

I'm home for most of the week - working in the office for 5 hours a day, three days a week. Working from home the other two days. I love taking walks and would love to bring a dog along! I'm trustworthy with experience house sitting, dog sitting, and cat sitting. I'd happily provide detailed updates following home visits - as helpful to the client.

Catherine P.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Wonderful Dog Sitter! I can’t say enough good things about Catherine! From the moment we met, I knew my dog Rusty was in excellent hands. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly have a genuine love for animals. While I was away, she sent regular updates with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I returned, Rusty was happy, healthy, and calm—a true testament to how comfortable and well looked-after he was. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, look no further. Catherine is reliable, compassionate, and absolutely amazing. I would 100% trust her again and again!”

Suphaphattra S.
“Suphaphattra, or Evie as she would like to be called, has taken care of my two dogs many times. She is the only person I trust to watch them if I'm not around. They love her like a second "mom"! She goes out of her way to make them feel loved and cared for. She plays games with them, thinks carefully about their safety and generally puts their comfort and happiness first. Evie is very responsible and trustworthy and I've trusted her to take care of my house as well as the dogs while I'm away and the house actually looks better then it did when I left, when I get home! I could not ask for a kinder, more considerate dog sitter who looks after my pups like they were her own!”

Arman B.
“I've known Arman as a family friend for years, and he is truly one of the most kind, dependable, and responsible people I know. He helped out as a substitute in my neighborhood dog walking business, and every single one of my clients raved about him. I could always count on him to take excellent care of the dogs—he struck the perfect balance between being gentle and loving while still maintaining structure on walks. I also trusted him to care for my own dog for a full week while I was away, and he went above and beyond, taking him on long, fun walks and giving him tons of attention. Arman is a natural with animals, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. Anyone would be lucky to have him as their dog walker.”
