“Mirren was amazing with our senior dog and young kitten. Both pets were very happy with her and she was an amazing house sitter. Very respectful, on time, and gave us plenty of updates. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”

“Aaron stayed with Albert for the night and took great care of both Albert and the house! He sent pictures and videos and kept me updated on how things were going. I knew Albert was in good hands while we were gone, and we would definitely ask them to stay with Albert again. Thank you so much!!”

“Karima took excellent care of our dog Goose and our apartment while we were away for over a week. She was caring, responsive, and helpful throughout her stay.

“Audrey is the best dog sitter! She is so sweet and caring to my pet:) I would recommend her to anyone looking for drop in sitting or overnight sitting. Can’t wait to have her watch my dog the next time I travel.”

About: As the proud dog mom of Iroh, my 130-pound American Bully XL, I know firsthand that our dogs are so much more than pets; they're family! Caring for him has given me extensive hands-on experience with large, strong breeds, but my love for dogs extends to pups of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I've gained valuable experience managing everything from daily walks, feeding routines, and enrichment activities to more specialized care. Having supported Iroh through two major orthopedic surgeries, I understand the importance of patience, careful handling, restricted activity, and attentive recovery care. I'm also familiar with administering oral medications, managing allergies and sensitive skin, and adapting routines to a dog's individual needs. What sets me apart is that I'm genuinely passionate about dogs and understand how important it is to trust someone with your four-legged family member. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with some company and cuddles, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll treat your dog with the same attention, affection, and care I give Iroh! I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the dogs in my care! Whether your pup needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, or some extra companionship throughout the day, I'm happy to accommodate their routine. As a longtime dog owner, I'm already accustomed to structuring my days around walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I understand how important consistency is for dogs, and I'm happy to adapt to their individual needs and preferences. My goal is to make sure every pup receives the attention and care they deserve while you're away! I understand that welcoming someone into your home requires a great deal of trust, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I'll treat your home with the same care and respect as my own, always cleaning up after your pet and myself, keeping things tidy, and making sure everything is left in the same condition as I found it, if not better! My goal is for you to return to a happy, well-cared-for pet and a clean, welcoming home. When it comes to your furry family member, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I believe that keeping pets in their familiar environment, surrounded by their usual routines, helps them feel secure and relaxed while you're away. I'll take the time to understand your pet's personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medical requirements, and any household rules or preferences. As the proud owner of a large dog with his own medical needs, I'm particularly attentive to safety, secure doors and gates, proper leash handling, and recognizing changes in behavior or well-being. I'm also comfortable administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions. Communication is equally important to me. I'll provide regular updates and photos, respect your privacy, and make sure you're always informed about how your pet is doing. Above all, I want you to feel completely confident that both your beloved companion and your home are in responsible, caring, and trustworthy hands.
“Just came home after our first time using Rover for our 8 year old puppy, who is a ball of energy. Marshe was awesome! She is so nice and a great communicator. Cosmo really liked her too! He loved all of her attention and playtime; she really let him burn off his energy while house sitting. Cosmo is sleeping like a little baby and is happy as clam. 😀”

“Annabelle is a fantastic dog sitter! She took care of Bean, my shy pup, for ten days and maintained perfect communication/updates. Hope to hire Annabelle again and recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and kind pet sitter!”


About: Recently relocated to DC. I have broad experience with a wide range of animals including dogs, cats, and reptiles. As your pet sitter I will ensure all their needs are met. Looking to spend time with pets before I get my own. My schedule is very open while I continue job searching. Happy to stay with your pets over night or days at a time if needed. I prioritize security and transparency above everything else. You can expect pictures and updates with each visit and I will be sure to notify you if anything happens.
“Mark was great with our two corgis and our cat while we were away - we got daily updates, photos and videos of their adventures and they were happy and tired when we got home. Our house was pristine when we got home - so happy to have found someone we can leave our little ones with when they can’t come with us!”


About: Growing up, we had almost as many dogs as we did kids in the house. My parents were huge pet people, so I guess they just passed it down to me as well however, even as a child, I always had a love of animals. There were many times that I brought home birdies with broken wings, or tried to sneak frog in the house without my mom noticing. My love for animals only grew the older I got but also my education. Being able to work directly under licensed veterinarians, gave me the opportunity to understand treatment plans for minor and major issues that animals can face. I was given the opportunity to work with newborn animals along with those that require senior care. I’ve also had the pleasure of taking care of animals that are expecting and helping to bring new life into the world. It was during this time, but many friends and neighbors took the opportunity to ask me to watch their animals. Anytime they went on vacation or maybe just had to take a long business trip. Even when an animal is in their home, having a new person around can still sometimes be nerve-racking. But I take pride in knowing that I’m able to make sure they feel comfortable and loved even when their parents are away. I work from home teaching English as a second language. This allows me a very flexible schedule throughout the week. I have open availability Monday through Friday. I’m also able to help out on the weekends depending on the timing. However, I’m willing to be flexible. Traveling as an adult with pets can sometimes be difficult. I remember being stressed over whether or not I’ve picked the right boarding facility, or worrying that they would have too many differences in their day-to-day routine while I was away. Pets deserve to feel just as loved and cared for even when moms and dads need a vacation. I would love to be able to provide both you owners and your pets with a sense of trust and security.
“Bianca is amazing! We have a big dog that’s still young and untrained but Bianca handled her so well! Our puppy had a great time and Bianca was so accommodating and professional! Her updates were everyday were wonderful! Thanks Bianca!”

“Isabelle was a great dogsitter over a long weekend. She’s always on time and is very communicative with updates and pictures! I would highly recommend for dog sitting or walks”

Kymberlee was incredible with our pup!! We have a stage 5 IVDD dachshund (paralyzed in his hind legs and double incontinent). Kymberlee handled him gently, expressed his bladder well, and clearly had experience working with anxious dogs. My husband and I hadn’t been able to travel without our pup since his surgery, and we’re so grateful to have found Kymberlee. Highly highly recommend for any IVDD pup parents!!

Marla was just amazing! She made sure that she fully understood how we care for our fur babies, and did a thorough job. Marla is a great communicator and kept us updated, and really took great care of our home as well. 100% would recommend and plan on rebooking with her!

This was the first time Christina took care of our two dogs, but it won’t be the last! The weekend seemed to go very well, and communication was good. Our dogs can be very reactive at times and she was able to win their trust and it wasn’t long before they were sitting on her lap!

Megan did an incredible job watching our two medium to large sized dogs - Ades and Tilli. She kept us updated every morning and evening with tons of photos. We were able to enjoy our trip because we knew our doggos were in the best hands. Additionally, she even took our dogs on a little hike in Rock Creek. It's clear she has a genuine love for dogs and is very organized and responsible. We would highly recommend Megan!!!

For the first time in a long time, we actually relaxed on a trip. That’s all because of Daniel. Our Orso has epilepsy and needs meds twice a day, so finding someone we trust completely is a big deal. Daniel stayed at our house for five days and never missed a beat. He handled Orso’s medication perfectly, and he took the time to learn how to give rescue meds in case of a seizure. Knowing Orso was in hands that capable meant everything to us. He didn’t stop at the essentials, either. Orso and Kipfel got two walks every day and endless games of ball, and Daniel sent us regular updates so we could see how much fun they were having. Our dogs were happy, healthy, and clearly in good company. We came home to a spotless house and two tails wagging like crazy. Daniel, thank you. You gave us peace of mind and gave our boys a great five days. We’ll be booking you again, and we’re telling all our friends.
