“Maria was fabulous and took such good care of my dog while away. She was reliable and gave updates throughout the weekend. I also scheduled 3 walks in addition to drop-in visits. I highly recommend Maria!”

“Michael is both a great friend and an excellent cat sitter for my 10 year old cat Riot. He’s been cat sitting for her for almost four years. He takes care of her special dietary needs, and has even helped with administering medicine, while I’m out of town. He did great this past weekend with making sure Riot followed her diet, and making sure she stayed in her cone whenever she wasn’t eating (she has a flare up from chronic skin infections). He’s also very tidy and clean as a house guest!”

“Rut was great with Milo. She responded on very short notice for a first-time visit and we are so grateful. He’s an older guy who is very stubborn and she was very patient with him. Will definitely use her again in the future.”

“Eric took excellent care of our cats while we were away! He spent quite a bit of time with them and made sure our cat who needed medicine took it again after she had a bad tummy and threw it up the first time. Definitely a sweetheart, would have him look after them again. <3”

“Thomas was awesome with my cats, Turtle and Bugs. He spent dedicated time playing with them and making sure they were okay while we were away. I would recommend Thomas to anyone looking for a pet sitter that goes above and beyond.”

“We had a unique situation and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Communication was outstanding, and Lia did an amazing job helping Darcy feel safe and comfortable in an unfamiliar environment. Highly recommend!”

“Taylor has been excellent taking care of my 8 week old puppy! He is extremely trustworthy and reliable, making sure to send pictures and updates each visit. Definitely plan on using him again and would highly recommend!”

“Maria was very thorough and communicative about her visits with our two cats. She sent lots of photos and spent quality time with our cats. She is great and hope to use her services again in the future!”

“Layla did a great job watching Buddy while I was away. She was kind, reliable, and kept me updated throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. I’d definitely feel good about leaving him with her again. Thanks, Layla!”

“Emma did such a great job taking care of our energetic kitten!! Our kitty clearly felt super comfortable with Emma and enjoyed Emma’s generosity with playtime and snuggles. We hope Emma will watch our cat again in the future!”

“Allyson was great with our cat Hemi. She’s normally pretty shy but warmed up quickly to her! We appreciated Allyson’s communication and attentiveness. Definitely recommend!”

“Jenna was absolutely amazing! I would ask her back to watch Wilbur again in a heartbeat. She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire time, giving me such peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she treated Wilbur with great care and affection, and I could tell he felt comfortable with her. She even went above and beyond by coming over ahead of time to meet him and ensure everything was seamless. I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter—highly recommend Jenna to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pet!”

“Meredith took care of my two kitties while I was away for work and did an excellent job! She made sure to play and hang with them, and also helped clean up several messes of one kitty in particular. She also made sure to troubleshoot my automatic feeder and made sure to give the boys extra food just in case, would recommend!”

“Kara provided such great care and was very attentive to my German Shepherd while I was away for a weekend with scheduled drop-in visits and walks. She provided detailed notes and the cutest pictures. She was great and I highly recommend her!”

“Abigail was fantastic with our dogs, and a pleasure to work with overall. Very responsive, friendly, and reliable. The dogs loved her. Highly recommend booking with her.”

About: I’ve had a dog growing up and always loved being around animals. I have lots of experience with dogs sitting and walking and making sure your dog will have a great time. From young to old and small to big. Have a look at the pictures in my profile. Would love to meet your dog :) I’m new to the city and I have plenty of time to play with your pups. Very flexible schedule at the moment. Also available weekends and late at night if needed. I live in an apartment with close proximity to the MBT and two dog parks. I am an active person, there is lots of outdoor time guaranteed. Also happy to come over to your place to care for your dog :)
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! :)
