“Molly was great with our pup. She helped us out last minute when our other sitter had to cancel and I will definitely book her again. She followed all of our care instructions and sent a detailed summary of her visit.”
About: Growing up, my family always had pets, and in 2020, I adopted a dog of my own! I’ve been trusted by friends and family to care for their pets for many years, and I’m always sure to love them and care for them to the best of my ability! I’ve taken care of puppies, senior dogs, dogs with amputations, and everything in between. I am available every weekday! I’m very flexible and able to make any adjustments necessary with short notice. If absolutely necessary I can do weekend drop ins as well. I will always be sure to understand the layout of your home and the limits/boundaries put in place for the pet. I will play and walk with the pet as much as necessary and make sure that food, water, and treats are given when instructed. I’ll cuddle and love on the pet as much as they need and be sure to ensure their safety and comfort while you are away.

“Quantairra was a wonderful pet sitter! Tootsie was feeling a little shy this time and wasn't very socialable but Quantairra made sure all her needs were met. Great communication, provided pictures and swept around the litterbox area when Toots made a mess.”

“Kyle took such good care of Nora, especially while dealing with her temporary upset stomach. She warmed up to him quickly and I appreciated the speedy communication. Would book again!”

About: I grew up with two cats and a dog and fostered over 25 puppies and adult dogs throughout my childhood. I have spent many weekends working on local farms to support their animal caretaking. One of my favorite experiences is volunteering at a farm in VA that houses animals with disabilities! I work full time so am usually available after 4:30 p.m. on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I work remotely on Mondays and Fridays so those days allow for more flexibility. My priority is to always make sure your pet feels comfortable and safe! I make sure to approach any animal with caution and allow them to get comfortable with me before proceeding.
About: After years of caring for friends’ pups and sharing a home with a lovable Goldendoodle, I’ve developed a real intuition for what dogs need to feel happy and safe. I specialize in structured adventures, whether that’s a high-energy game of fetch or a calm, patient walk for a reactive pup who needs a steady hand. I’m all about reading your dog’s body language to ensure every outing is a fun, stress-free success! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially since I have a remote job and a flexible schedule. I love being outdoors, so taking dogs for walks is something I can easily fit in throughout the day. It’s a great way for me to stay active, get fresh air, and spend time with other pups—it really brightens my day! I treat every pet as if they were my own. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they get plenty of active movement, have time to do their business, and get some playtime and attention. I’m very responsible and always keep dogs leashed during walks for their safety. I also pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs—like feeding schedules, medication, or preferred routines—so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away.
“Avery was fantastic!! She went above and beyond to take care of my cat. My cat can be a little shy song strangers but clearly hit it off with her and got all of the attention she needed while we were gone. I also appreciated the prompt updates and pictures. We plan on using her moving forward for all of our cat sitting needs.”

“Jesse is so caring and sweet with my puppy, Bellini. He came every day for a week to let her out at lunch and go for a walk. He was always on time, very responsive, and took lots of photos! Even when she had an upset stomach and had an accident, he took such great care of her and cleaned up an unfortunate mess. We will definitely book with Jesse and his wife again! Our Bellini has a new best friend!”


“Heidy did a fantastic job checking in on my cat Tootsie! She was always communicative, checked-in at the same time every day and sent lots of cute photos. I would absolutely hire Heidy again to watch Tootsie. Heidy-thank you for organizing the cans of wet food in the box! I'm a little bit disorganized and I came home to find everything perfectly arranged-you're the best!”


About: I’ve spent [10+] years around dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I’m comfortable with energetic pups who need solid walks as well as calmer seniors. In DC I provide safe, attentive walks tailored to each dog and send photo updates. For sitting, I follow your routine closely, keep your pup happy and comfortable, and leave your home just as I found it. Reliable, communicative, and ready to care for your dog! I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available most days for dog walks and can easily adjust around your pet’s routine. For sitting, I can provide consistent care and attention throughout the Hday without fixed office hours getting in the way I prioritize safety and clear communication in every booking. In a client’s home I follow your exact routine, keep doors and gates secure, respect house rules, and leave everything as I found it. I stay attentive to your dog’s needs and send regular updates so you always know how things are going. If caring for a pet in my own home, I provide a calm, secure environment with no other pets (or only well-socialized ones if applicable), supervised time, and the same focus on safety and comfort. Either way, your dog’s well-being and your peace of mind come first.
“Mega was so great with our pets and really flexible in helping us out when our plans changed last minute. She was very communicative and sent a bunch of photos and detailed report visits, and she was even kind enough to bring in a giant package we received while away. Would absolutely recommend Mega to others!”

“Highly recommend Walter! He was so wonderful and loving with my senior kitty — sending pictures and updates every day. She seemed to take to him immediately. Walter also took such good care of our home which I really appreciate, and brought our packages up (despite there being about 50 from Black Friday sales on Amazon!!). Truly an above and beyond sitter. Thank you so much for everything, Walter. Will definitely reach out again in the new year. ♥️”
“Rebecca has been great with our two dogs. She has been a life saver on a couple last minute needs and has treated our girls with love. Would recommend using her to look over your fur babies too !”

About: Had a dog growing up and rescued my current dog Relo 5 years ago. My fiancée and I adopted a dog from CDCK who just passed away, so we are looking to fill the void and help watch other dogs. One of works from home every day, so your dog will be at home with us and our dog Relo! We take our dog on 4 walks every day plus playtime! We have enrichment toys and play toys to keep your dog occupied. We live very close to a dog park which we go to almost daily. We let dogs on our couch and bed! We have experience providing medications and dogs of all personalities from our time fostering. Let us know if you have any questions or concerns! My partner and I both work flexible jobs where one of us will be home the entire time with your dog (if during the week). Otherwise, on the weekends, we have our own dog to take care of, so we’re never gone for more than a few hours on the weekends. We don’t have a yard but we take our dog out 4 times a day, and also take her to the dog park almost daily (our dog hates being wet, so just not on days it rains!). We have plenty of toys and chew treats. We let dogs on our couch and bed, and we love cuddles!

About: I've lived the full dog parent journey. I've trained three dogs from puppies, so I understand the chewing, the zoomies, and the training milestones. I've also cared for senior dogs, including giving medications on schedule. Whatever stage your pup is in, they'll be in experienced, loving hands. I work a hybrid schedule, so I'm home most of the day to give your pup plenty of attention, potty breaks, and company. I live right near a park, which means lots of walks, fresh air, and playtime built into our daily routine. I'm an active person by nature, so your dog will stay engaged and well exercised. On weekends, I'm fully available for boardings. I live in a cozy three level townhome (shared with my brother and lots of love for dogs) with a fenced in yard that's perfect for safe off-leash play. We're a quick five minute walk from Meridian Hill Park.
“Yulia did an amazing job taking care of my cat, Carmen! She was very patient with Carmen and her complex needs, and always provided detailed updates. Her photos were also great! I would highly recommend her services 😊”

“Charnetta was very communicative and took excellent care of our three cats while away for a long weekend! She sent great pics and videos, provided clear updates on how things were going, and left the house in great condition!”

Rachel is an amazing sitter and made us feel really calm during our trip. She is very reliable and Ennui loved her! She would cuddle with her and get very excited when she was arriving. It is a huge relief to leave our cat with someone who is very caring and careful. I would definitely feel very comfortable leaving Ennui with her again! Thanks!

Abby was amazing - she’s been our sitter for our cats before and having her watch them again was great as they already knew and felt comfortable with her. She is super communicative and sends lots of great pictures and videos. One of our cats, Toast, is really starting to bond with her! Our other cat, Jasper, often needs her own space or things on her own terms and Abby is great at respecting that.

Candace came to meet me and the kittens before booking which I really appreciated. One of the kittens can be shy, but they immediately warmed to Candace. She was timely with her check ins and sent photos and blurbs about how they were doing. I felt relieved they were getting such great care while I was away.

I am endlessly grateful to have found Shelby! Her pics capture my cats personalities so well, and it always shows that they are themselves and happy and comfortable with her. They also always show that Shelby is making a great effort to engage and play with my cats and it’s heartwarming to see. I hope she has all of the good fortune in life for how she’s treated my pets!

Becca was great with my cat Alfred! She made sure to send lots of pictures and was able to spend some time playing with him so he didn’t feel too lonely. She also cleaned up his vomit (he often eats too fast🥲) and she notified me when it happened and cleaned it up which was greatly appreciated. When I came back from my trip, Alfred was excited to see me, but I got the sense that he didn’t feel so lonely while I was gone which is just what I wanted. Will absolutely be reaching out to Becca again next time I’m away.
