About: Hi! I'm a reliable, friendly, and trustworthy pet sitter who works remotely and offers dedicated, live-in pet care in your home. As a self-publishing author, I’m a natural homebody and love spending time at home, writing while cuddling with pets—perfect for keeping your pet(s) company while you’re away. I treat pets like family, following your instructions closely to feed, walk, groom, play, and administer medication as needed. I’m experienced with both young and senior pets and know they’re happiest in the comfort of their own home. I also have experience with dogs with reactivity issues and separation anxiety issues. I'm happy to follow your pet's routine exactly as outlined in your instructions—ensuring they get all the care, cuddles, and walks they need to feel loved and secure! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I believe in full transparency and open communication, so you can always feel confident and informed. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions!
“Danielle did a wonderful job dog sitting our two pups. She was patient and communicative and we would definitely recommend her as a dog sitter.”
“Shamiso is an excellent sitter. We are very happy with her watching our dog when we are out of town. Our dog always looks happy to see her. Shamiso is very reliable, a good communicator, and takes great care of our dog and home. Thank you!”
“Gabrielle is a perfect dog/house sitter. She is communicative, leaves my home as it was found, and makes my (shy) dog feel very comfortable and taken care of. I would recommend Gabrielle to any dog parent :)”
“Vasilisa stepped in and helped us last minute when our other dog sitter cancelled. She was fantastic with our dog Aspen and communicated with us regularly. The house was very clean and neat when we returned and she had even put the sheets in the wash! Aspen was clearly well loved and cared for while we were gone.”
“Miguel helped us out over the holidays after a last minute cancellation. We came home to a happy cat and appreciated the pictures throughout the weekend.”
“I can’t rave enough about Shamauri! He reached out before the visit to get reacquainted with our pets (he’s watched them before). They both remembered him immediately! You can tell they love his energy and feel super comfortable with him. Shamauri kept us up to date with daily pictures/videos. He was incredibly thoughtful in asking about our travel plans - even offering to take care of the animals an extra day in the event of flight delays. He also left the house clean & included a sweet surprise. We adore Shamauri and recommend him for all of your house/pet sitting needs!”
“Holland did a fantastic job caring for our new puppy. She communicated with me before, during, and after the visit. I arrived home to a very happy dog who no longer bites at my fingers! Thank you Holland. Highly recommend!”
“Erin is THE BEST!!!! She literally came to the rescue when we had an emergency need for a pet sitter- we have 2 dogs and 2 cats and were in a bit of a panic. Erin jumped in and truly saved the day! She is a wonderful communicator, she sent us photos and updates the entire time we were gone. She was quick to respond to all of our questions. Our house was left spotless and most importantly our babies were all happy and healthy when we got home. She truly treats your pets like they are her own! We could not recommend her more!!!”
“Gabby was wonderful! Our dog is an easy-going guy in our apartment but has a lot of anxiety around strangers and new things. Gabby was patient and attentive with him, extremely communicative, and respectful of our house. She went above and beyond to give our dog plenty of walks and love while we were gone. Highly recommend Gabby to care for your pet while you're away! :)”
“Once again, our pup had a great time with Christina! Christina communicated throughout the house stay -- asking good questions and providing some great pictures of playtime. Thank you, Christina!”
“Missy has sat for my goldendoodle twice now, and I have been impressed with how happy and content he is upon my return. She is very responsive to texts and calls, and provides pictures, which is always nice :)”
“Meredith was so responsive and took such great care of our girls. She gave me lots of updates and made sure our dog had enough activity. Will absolutely book her again and so should you!”
“Mari was fabulous! She took great care of our pup Peach, sent pictures and updates, and asked a lot of great questions to make sure she gave Peach the best care while we were gone.”
“Our bulldog went straight to Moni wagging her tail. I knew it was a great match. Our cat is pretty standoff and took to her as if she was part of the family. Moni took great care with our two babies. We will definitely be booking her in the future.”
“Josh did a great job with my 2 dogs and 1 cat! He handled the dogs' medications, and kept the cat separate from the dog with behavior issues. And he left the house exactly as he found it. He also kept in touch with me for all meals and medications, and sent multiple photos. This was very reassuring. Highly recommend, and I hope Josh is available the next time we travel.”
“Melanie is a U.S veteran that goes above and beyond for pet care. She provided plenty of pictures and accommodated a pet accident that was sudden. She also is experienced in dog training.”

Dwayne D.
“Dwayne took good care of my 50 pound pittie. He was not phased by his various quirks and kept in touch with me while I was away. When he wasn't sure about the meaning of a minor behavior change, he checked in with me to make sure it was nothing to be concerned about. When I returned, my home was at least as clean and tidy as it was when I left. I will happily hire Dwayne again.”

We booked Cat to watch our dog for a long weekend and are super happy with her services! She was extremely communicative, gave us updates and photos, and made sure our dog was safe and sound while we were away. It was a great peace of mind & I would book again!
I don’t even know where to start, Meredith is simply amazing! She did a meet and greet with us first and I could tell her energy would be perfect for our dog and cat. She was super communicative before our trip, and during her stay here at our house, sent lots of photos and videos. I could tell that our fur children were at ease with her. She was attuned to their needs, and asked us questions when needed. She went above and beyond in every aspect of her stay. We wholeheartedly recommend Meredith!!
Mimi was wonderful! During our pre-booking meeting, Mimi asked thoughtful questions about Gimli's care. Gimli was immediately eager to be around her and relaxed due to her calm and gentle nature. On the day of the booking, Mimi was communicative and arrived on time. During her stay she checked in with us multiple times and sent many photos. When we came back, she gave a full report about his temperament. Gimli was in great hands!
Helene is wonderful! We love having her come housesit our dogs and cat. She always sends pictures, leaves the house clean, fulfills all her duties and our pets seem happy and well cared for when we return! We would emphatically recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, communicative, and conscientious sitter!
Elias was soooo sweet to our pets. Our Collie became his fluffy shadow. Male cat slept with him and our timid female cat came out for good. Even the guinea pig.got loving. Elias even went and got more fresh veg. I would use him ahead and would recommend him. To bad he is not in college near by.
Danielle was awesome. She was punctual, asked excellent questions and took very good care of our Noodles. Unfortunately, there was an issue with our apartment during the stay. Danielle managed this situation professionally and as calm as possible. We are very glad she came through for us when our original Rover sitter had to cancel at the last minute. 5 stars!
Allison is an incredible pet sitter. She has done two house sitting stays with our 3 cats and she has done a wonderful job both times. She is fantastic at communicating, sending us daily updates with adorable pictures. She provides amazing care to our cats and they love her. She continues to be one of the very few people we trust to care for our cats and home. Best pet sitter in DC!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Monica watching our dog for a week in our home. She was incredibly communicative and friendly, and our dog warmed up to her almost immediately. She spent lots of time with her, sent daily updates and photos, and made sure she was happy and comfortable the entire time. She was also a respectful and helpful housesitter, leaving our home tidy and well cared for. We will enthusiastically book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring petsitter
Johanna dog sat in our home and was great. Our dog is usually exhibits signs of separation anxiety when we return after an extended trip. But not this time. Johanna clearly cared for him. She sent photos regularly, was always timely, communicated well, and our pup was very comfortable when we arrived home. Our house was left spotless, she even washed the linens. I would most definitely use Johanna again and recommend her to others.
