“Nick is a great cat sitter. He was very responsive and set tons of photos from his check in visits. My cat Cowboy also seemed to really like him.”

“Erin was great with Pepper! She was prompt so Pepper could stay on schedule, asked clarifying when something was unclear, sent us updates! Overall, it’s clear Pepper loves Erin and Erin loves Pepper!”

“Alexander took really great care of our cat. He spent time playing with her and followed our instructions perfectly. He was easy to communicate with and sent several sweet pictures of her each visit. Sometimes pets seem stressed when you come home from a vacation, but we came home to a calm & happy kitty.”

“Rebekah took good care of my cats while I was out of town. She is very responsive and reliable. The cats warmed up to her quickly — I could tell from the photos. I already booked her services for my next trip.”

“Katie went above and beyond taking care of my sassy cat! She took great care of my cat, had no issue mixing her meds, and also took great care of the house when Bella made a mess. Will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

“Becca did a great job visiting my cat for the weekend. My cat is very friendly and energetic, and Becca took time to play with her and sent photos to me from her visit. I will definitely reach out to Becca again to watch Kirree.”


“Aminah was awesome! She sent tons of updates and ensured our pup was happy and well taken care of. We will definitely be working with Aminah in the future and our dog Izzy is excited for future hangs with her new friend!”

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, especially cats, so I naturally understand their Needs and unique personalities. Even though I’ve never owned a dog of my own, I’ve cared for many dogs through friends and family — from puppies who need full attention to older dogs who need extra patience and care. I also have experience giving pets oral medication, so I’m comfortable following special routines. My goal is always to give each pet the same love, comfort, and attention I’d want for my own! I am currently a full-time student at Howard University so I have class everyday. With any free time I have on my hands not studying or in class, I’d love to help! Im happy to take your pets on walks, give them fresh food and water, and spend quality time with them so they feel cared for while you're away. Im gentle and attentive, making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Building trust is very important to me, and treat one like my own! :)
“Heidy was incredibly professional, kind, and accommodating to my skittish kittens! They grew comfortable with her after a couple of visits. Heidy was very prompt in her communication, which made handing off keys and resolving general questions very easy. She paid great attention to detail in all of my notes about caring for the kittens. I would highly recommend booking her for your cats!”

“David was amazing! He reached out for a meet and greet, asked any specific details about caring for my little cat, and left very thoughtful comments. He was so detail oriented and I really appreciated his communication style. I am grateful he was even available! 20/10 recommend 🙂”

“Rebecca was great with our cat Archie! She was communicative, prompt and we could tell she took great care of him while we were away. Highly recommend Rebecca for any of your pet sitting needs!”

“Charnetta did a great job — no complaints! My cat can be standoffish with strangers but Charnetta wasn’t phased by the hissing and seemed genuinely excited to spend time with my grumpy little cat haha. Would recommend!”

“Jordyn is the absolute best. She has been such an amazing help! She’s been extremely accommodating, allowing me to book long term as well as short notice. Her communication is amazing and she’s super sweet. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.”

About: I have always been part of a dog-loving household. I truly believe pampering your pet is the only way to repay them for their unconditional love. Neighbors/friends have always relied on me to walk, play and love their pets like my own. Three years ago I became a mom to the best golden retriever so I am comfortable with puppy training. I ensure that every pups experience is exactly what they need. I work long hours in an office Monday through Friday afternoon so I like dedicating my weekends entirely to my pet and yours! I am available Fridays after 5:00 PM (totally ok with late pick ups/drop offs) through Sunday nights (late night pick ups are fine with me). I live in a pet friendly building. I have a sweet golden retriever eager to be friends with your fur baby! We have a small fenced patio and a larger building patio we can access for some weekend fun. There are two dog parks nearby for some extra zoomies if you're into that! I am comfortable crating your pet if you prefer otherwise the whole apartment is their playground.
