“Andrea was wonderful! She had excellent communication and checked in every time on schedule. She also asked questions to make sure Charlie’s care exceeded expectations! I will definitely be keeping her in mind for the future!”


About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I’ve petsat for neighbors, and I’m comfortable around all breeds. Growing up we always had big dogs (St. Bernards, bulldogs, and other large breeds) a few years ago we adopted my first small breed, a chihuahua named Moxley. I am currently working part time, but it’s overnight. I am available anytime from 9 am to 6 pm. I don’t drive, but I have a bike, and I can get anywhere in the city reliably. I love connecting with pets. Our dog Moxley was from a hoarding situation and it took a long time for him to start trusting people, the day he let me pick him up was one of the best days of my life. I have no problem walking, feeding, cleaning up after, or just spending time with anyone’s pet. I understand how important it is to trust the person that is looking after your pet, and I promise to do whatever is needed to make your pet comfortable while you’re away.

“Rachel has been great looking after my cat, she is very prompt in responding to messages, very professional and has befriended my shy cat. I would highly recommend her!”


“I’ve had Tara drop in on our little ham for a few times already. I can always count on her to make sure pixel gets taken care of. Thank you for being flexible!”


“Kristen was a wonderful sitter! Her communication was thoughtful and prompt. Ruby and I highly recommend her and looking forward to seeing her again soon.”


“Nicole is my go-to cat sitter for my frequent trips out of town. I know my kitties are in great hands with her and I never have to worry even on the other side of the globe. Nicole is very friendly, very attentive to the details of each animal, and exceptionally communicative! She's been a lifesaver on a few occasions where I had short-notice trips come up. I strongly recommend her and am so happy to have found her!”


“Jennifer did an amazing job taking care of both of our cats! She provided daily updates with photos and even found the cat dental mouthwash in our laundryroom that we had purchased a long time ago, but forgot to put in the water (one of our cats was diagnosed with a serious case of gingivitis right before we left, and I was very stressed out about it). Jennifer played with our shy kitties and gave them lots of attention. She provided daily feedback about the cats' well-being.”


About: I loved my pet from 8wks to 12 yrs old. He was the best friend I have ever had and so I have experience at all ages with pets. I grew up with cats and dogs and have always loved animals more than humans. I promise to protect, love and care for your best fur friends as I would my own. I currently work 8 hour days in the Alexandria area. I have wellness hours that vary but 3 times a week so may be available for lunch time walks depending on location. I am available for pet care any time after 3:30 pm ET and am mostly available weekends completely. I unfortunately cannot have pets in my apartment but am happy to love your pets and care for them in the comfort of their home. I am happy to tend to a specific diet - cook their meals or make sure they receive any specific medicines when they need them. I want your fur babies to feel safe and loved by me. I will gladly make sure I can accommodate your pups needs, whatever they may be.

“I know whenever I reach out to Ian for Gunnar’s walks, he is in great hands! They aren’t just walks they are afternoon adventures!! Thank you again from myself, Gunnar, and Oliver too! 🐕 🐈 🐾”


“Very thorough and professional for my pup’s check in / walk! Thank you thank you thank you! Would highly recommend to others and 110% rebook when needed. Greatly appreciate it!”


“Angie was great! She took good care of our two cats while we were away for the weekend. She even managed to show up during snowy weather, which we truly appreciated. Angie was very easy to work with and communicated with us throughout the weekend for peace of mind. Highly recommend her for anyone needing a reliable and caring sitter.”


“Kimberly was taking care about my cat for over two weeks. She did an amazing job. I was very concerned to leave Oliver so long since that was his first time alone, but Kimberly kept me informed about everything, sending updates, pictures, or videos after every visit. Oli became so affectionate of her and I felt so relived. I will definitely call Kimberly again in the future and recommend her wholeheartedly.”



“Rachel was incredibly helpful and responsive when I needed last-minute care for my cat. She sent photos and details every day and was extremely friendly and easy to work with over the last few days. I would definitely book with her again!”


“Juli is easy to work with, great communicator & on top of all things high-energy puppy (leash resistance, unauthorized snacking, reactive behaviors etc). Appreciate her time with my dog Pep!”


“Kelly was super kind and attentive to my kitten! I definitely felt like he was in good hands with her. She was a trooper with getting into the place as my door can be hard to unlock. Sometimes she was early/late to the scheduled time, but often she would stay for longer than the 30 min window which I really appreciated, as kitties need a lot of play time!! I would love to book with Kelly again in the future :)”

“I can’t recommend Brianna enough for pet care. She treats animals with the same patience, gentleness, and love as if they were her own children. I fully trust her with any of my pets, whether it’s for a quick visit or an extended period of time, knowing they’re in the most attentive and caring hands. She’s incredibly responsible, detail-oriented, and truly goes above and beyond to make sure each animal feels safe and loved. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, Brianna is the person to call.”

Kimberly O.
“I can’t recommend Kimberly O. enough! She has such a natural way with animals—whether it’s an energetic puppy or a shy senior cat, she makes them feel safe, loved, and cared for. Kimberly is responsible, dependable, and truly goes above and beyond to make sure every pet’s needs are met. She’s not just about walks and feeding—she takes the time to play, cuddle, and connect with each pet. I’ve seen firsthand how animals gravitate toward her gentle and positive energy. Any pet parent would be lucky to have Kimberly caring for their furry family members!”
