1. Jordan M.


“I booked Jordan for walks with my senior dog! Jordan is highly organized and comes with great experience. She followed all specific requests and care instructions I had communicated. She took many pictures that showed my dog having a lot of fun and gave detailed write-ups after each walk. Side note: my cat was absolutely obsessed with her LOL. I highly recommend booking Jordan to meet your pets' needs!”


2. Kimberly T.

“Kimberly was great with communicating about the walk with my dog. She gave detailed explanations and took a few pictures. She was also able to accommodate a next day walk which is always great! I definitely recommend her!”


3. Angela Y.

“Good communication. We had coordinated a broader time window instead of the exact appointment time on Rover. She was only going to be a minute or two off the exact time due to circumstances outside her control, but still let me know.”


4. Victoria V.
“Victoria herself is a dog owner, whenever she watches my dog I know she treats him with love just as if he was home. Highly recommend!”


5. Maggie C.

“Maggie is very nice, friendly, and accommodating. She came during the requested times and took good care of our challenging dog and easy going cat. She responded to messages quickly and sent us updates throughout her walks.”




6. Kasenia C.
About: I am a loving and experienced animal advocate. I graduated from the University of Maryland in 2016 with a degree in Exercise Science, and in 2021 with a Masters degree in Public Health from George Washington University. Between age 9-18, I was an active member in my local 4-H club, but my pet experience began long before then beginning with my very first pet; a Grey shorthair named Smokey! I have owned 4 dogs, 4 cats, and 3 horses since age 7. Right now, I have a Korean jindo named Finn, a thoroughbred horse named Ray, and two cats. I even had a hedgehog at one time! I have extensive experience with many animals of all shapes and sizes. The first thing that attracts me to a person while out and about is their dog! I am flexible and have super reliable transportation (my own vehicle). I love all animals and I treat them as my own. Feel free to ask any questions or inquire about future care of your furry friends! Prior to beginning my current job, I had been exclusively working with animals, management and care, including two farms with horses, goats, cats, chickens, and dogs. I currently work a very flexible schedule, where I work from home 3/5 days a week. My weekends are generally free when I am not traveling for one of my other side hustles! The remainder of my time is open for me to enjoy my own pets and be a resource for other owners who need their furry friends taken care of. I do not offer in home boarding out of enhanced safety precautions with my own dog. I limit how many bookings I have at once so I can dedicate time to getting to know your pets and spending adequate time with them. I will never bring another animal with me for a drop in/walk visit. I am also very experienced in wound/injury care.


7. Micaya S.
“I can’t recommend Micaya enough as a pet caregiver. She has a deep love for animals and consistently goes above and beyond to ensure pets feel safe, loved, and happy. She’s attentive to details, follows instructions carefully, and truly treats every pet as if they were her own. With Micaya, you can trust your pets will receive excellent care and plenty of affection.-Christina Holmes”


8. Linda W.

“As always, Linda does a great job with my pups!”


9. Mariaeva D.
“Eva was great at handling our picky grumpy little dog. He’s in his older years and is sensitive to his surroundings and Eva made every attempt to make Louie comfortable at every interaction.”


10. Andrea B.

“Andrea took my dogs for a walk everyday and kept me updated with pictures. It meant the world to us to have someone so dedicated looking after their needs while we were away! Thank you!”


11. Michelle J.
“Michelle was fantastic. My dogs loved her and we're excited to see her. I can't wait to use her again. I knowy dogs can't either.”


12. Brittany V.

“Brittany is amazing! She is extremely professional and even brought some home made treats for my pup pup. My dog took to her immediately and loved their walkies together.”


13. Karen T.
“What can I say? Karen T. Is basically a dog whisperer. I know Karen through her day job and my dogs do as well. They rush out to the yard to greet her...she's dog approved at our home. Safe, loving and secure bet in caring for your dog when you need that extra help. I highly recommend her in this endeavor.”


14. Shemoy S.

“Shemoy did amazing with the pups, and really saved me after a last minute cancellation. Always on time and took lots of pictures. My dogs, who can sometimes be judgey, took to liking Shemoy right away. Definitely recommended as a sitter/walker!”


15. Hannah V.
“Hannah Varner has been a pet lover her whole life. Whether it was her first gerbil, Fair prize gold fish, the eventual first dog she begged us parents for, the horses she rode, or her current dog and cat, Hannah has always had an immense love in her heart for pets. She has always been the one in the family to clean the pet cages/beds, wash and feed the pets, walk the dogs and just love on them with all her heart. She is our family "go to" person when we need help with our pets. Incredibly responsible and caring, anyone would be lucky to have Hannah take care of their pet. There really is no one finer than Hannah when it comes to pet loving and caring. She has our family's utmost recommendation.”




16. Jennifer E.

“Jennifer took excellent care of my dad's dog. We will happily use her services in the future!”


17. Sarah R.

“Sarah was, once again, AMAZING with my little fur family. Between her sweet, caring messages and the adorable pics she’d take, I knew my babies were in the best hands. She was communicative the whole time and put my mind at ease while I was away. This is my second time with Sarah and she has quickly become an integral part of any travel plans I make 100/10”


18. Hannah R.
“I couldn’t have wished for a better pet sitter than Hannah! She is truly the best and Pippin loves her. While I was away she took such great care of Pippin. She sent daily updates of how he was doing and made sure to check in with us.”


19. Alexis D.

“You can tell Alexis is an animal lover watching her interact with your pets. My dog absolutely ADORES Alexis! She is very punctual, attentive, and extremely kind. I am very picky about who I trust with my pup (she has an autoimmune disorder that can come on out of nowhere) and I feel very comfortable having her look after my dog knowing she’s in good hands.”


20. Leah H.

“Leah was a wonderful backup dog walker for me. She and my dog, Yen, got along great. It's so cute to see Yen greet and tell her goodbye. Leah was prompt, friendly and professional. I am happy with my choice.”
