“Maggie was awesome. She was great with both cats and dogs and is a great communicator and extremely reliable - especially as she was pulled in last minute. I would absolutely book with her again.”
“Emili really helped me out watching my cats last minute on a holiday weekend. She offered a meet-and-greet, but my schedule wouldnt allow. Regardless, she followed my instructions perfectly and I felt my cats were well cared for. I'm glad I booked Emili and recommend her to others.”
“Tara was so so wonderful with my cats! Both of them have separation anxiety and it was their first time with a sitter. I came home to them playing and doing their normal activities with no anxiety. Tara even got my shyest one to come out of her shell.”
“Daniel has been an awesome drop in sitter. Extremely reliable and a great communicator. I am happy to have his services for the duration of my stay in NOVA!”
“Aimee - was very easy to communicate with, responsive and professional. I felt my kitties were well taken care of while I was gone. Really appreciated Aimee’s flexibility on when to come over. All in all great experience!”
“John dropped in to check on my cat while I was away from him for the first time. He was very diligent about following instructions, wrote up excellent notes on the visit, and was good about communicating with me. I was comfortable that my cat was in good hands!”
About: I’ve owned my dog for 8 years and have volunteered at dog shelters as a dog walker for over 7 years. I have also completed Pat Miller’s Level 1 dog training academy. I have experience with reactive and fearful dogs. I work full time, but I can walk dogs on my lunch break or after work. I use force free training and positive reinforcement with my dog. I use force free training with my dog, so I’m not comfortable with choke/prong/shock collars. I use positive reinforcement to get the desired behavior. I have experience with reactive and fearful dogs.
“Gabriela took wonderful care of my 2 kitties while I was on vacation. She is responsive, punctual, attentive to needs and solution driven. We encountered a couple issues with the key fob dispenser not working properly and with the cats knocking over a large plant. She notified me and resolved both issues quickly which was a huge relief. Nobody wants to be dealing with or stressed out with issues from a distance and during a short time-off. I trust her with my cats and will definitely be booking her again. Highly recommend her services.”
“Kristina, was above and beyond with Max! This was our first time leaving Max with someone else and I loved the great communication, pictures, and I felt at ease with her work! Thank you for everything!!”
“Juliana was the perfect dog sitter to watch our boys! She visited beforehand to make sure she knew how to take care of and walk them, and diligently recorded everything about the walks and feedings and sent a message on how it went and a photo. Would book again!”
“Shannon was an amazing choice for a puppy visit! She kindly took care of my high energy 10 week old puppy for 30 min when I had to go to the office. She was very responsive and followed all instructions. Wrigley was lucky to have her help!”
“Spencer & Julia took great care of my cat and provided a ton of photos during their time with him! They offered plenty of pets, treats, and cuddles and gave me peace of mind while I was on vacation!”
“Iryna is an incredibly reliable Cat Sitter who is communicative and so nice and caring with our cat!! We got daily updates with photos and videos — we highly recommend hiring Iryna. She has been such a wonderful sitter for our cat while we were away and we can’t wait to continue working with her. We really dont have enough great things to say. 🩵”
About: I have taken care of my 16 year old Shih Tzu since I was 12 years old. I have been dog sitting for 10 years. I truly love all dogs. I work a low-stress full time job, but have some time after work and on the weekends to help you with your furry friends when needed. All dogs will be walked on a leash at my home. At your home, I will comply with the method you choose for your dogs outdoor activities.
“Emma is a wonderful cat sitter! Our boys can be super particular, but she did a great job of endearing herself to them. Super attentive, responsive, and pleasant to work with. Would book again in a heartbeat!”
“Claudia was great with our senior diabetic kitty! She was on time, very communicative, and administered our cat’s insulin each day. We’d love to work with Claudia again!”

Tasneem was the perfect sitter! Since we hadn’t met before, we did a meet and greet before the stay, which was an extra step I really appreciated. She was very communicative setting up the meeting, and when I sent care instructions shortly before my stay. Each time she checked on my cat Klaus, Tasneem wrote a nice report and took tons of pictures. I could tell from all the updates that Klaus warmed up to her quickly, and that she was taking great care of him. I was able to relax on my week-long trip knowing she’d be there consistently! I would absolutely book with Tasneem again, and I’d strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, dependable sitter!
Kinnith takes care of our two cats every time we’re out of town and does an excellent job. Our cats love him and we really enjoy getting the photo updates. Kinnith is very communicative, responsible, and caring towards our pets and we highly recommend him for pet sitting.
Tiffanie was extremely attentive and thorough in her care of Moxie. She shared detailed reports, plenty of pictures, and cleaned up hairballs. Our cat took to her immediately, greeting her at the door both days and seemed to really love pets and cuddles with Tiffanie. Tiffanie was so prompt in communication with booking and made the entire process from request to visit seamless and easy. I'd absolutely have Tiffanie catsit again!
This is my third time booking Maha and each time has been wonderful. Maha is attentive, going above and beyond to give them care and handling tasks like bringing in packages and scooping the litter regularly. I can tell that my kitties have been so well cared for each time I come home. When I say I plan to rebook, I fully mean it and I highly recommend her next time your fur-babies need care!
Sarah was such a great caretaker for my cat Punch Bowl while I was away! She gave me peace of mind while I was gone by playing with him, petting him, and giving him treats. I felt really comfortable with Sarah checking in on him and she is clearly a huge animal lover- Punch Bowl seemed super comfortable with her!
I had an excellent experience with Zoey and would absolutely book with her again. Before my trip, she took the time to come to my apartment to meet my cats, get familiar with their routines, and make sure she understood all of the care instructions. That gave me a lot of confidence before leaving. During every drop-in visit, she sent detailed updates along with plenty of photos, which gave me peace of mind and let me know my cats were doing well. It was clear she genuinely cared about their well-being and paid attention to how they were behaving each day. She also went above and beyond by keeping everything clean, taking care of the litter boxes, and tidying up after my cats during her visits. When I returned home, my cats were happy, well cared for, and my apartment was just as clean as I had left it. I highly recommend Zoey to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and compassionate pet sitter. She made traveling completely stress-free, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.
Sam did an awesome job of taking care of Teddy for over 2 weeks. Teddy was our new rescue and we were a bit nervous leaving him since he is still a bit skittish. This was also our first time using Sam. But the daily love-fest of photos put us at ease right away. We got to see Teddy was receiving the best of care and loving. When we got home, it was evident that Teddy was the happiest we’ve ever seen him. Thank you Samantha! ❤️
