“Angela was wonderful to work with! She took excellent care of Scarlett, and dealt with my, at times, temperamental cat's attitude with kindness and professionalism. She was an excellent communicator and very friendly. Would highly recommend!”
“Allison is great - she spends plenty of time with our cats, is easy to communicate with, and provides plenty of photo updates. We’ve used her several times and will certainly use her again!”
“Linda was great! It was super easy to schedule a meet and greet beforehand, she left good notes for every visit, and we came home to a clean apartment and happy cats!”
“The front desk hours suddenly changed in my building right before my recent booking with Clare, which would have impacted pick up and drop off of my key. Clare worked with me to come up with a new plan; she was so accommodating! Not to mention her impeccable care of my two cats, as usual. I'm a very happy multiple repeat customer.”
“Kelsey was fabulous. Sent lots of pictures of our cat over the week we were gone. I could tell she was happy to see Kelsey when she stopped by. I would highly recommend Kelsey for any of your pet care needs!”
“Holland was such a great sitter! She was very communicative and helpful and took great care of my kitty. Holland sent pictures and updates that made me feel less anxious about leaving my cat alone. I would definitely use her again and I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Jocabet was a lifesaver! She filled in last minute when our usual walker wasn’t available and was very communicative, punctual and gave great updates as well as photos. We will definitely book her again!”
“Tom was great! He took great care of our cats while we were out of the country, and kept the litter boxes nice and clean. Friendly and responsive, highly recommended!”
“Chloe was wonderful to my two kitties, making sure to spend time with them alongside feeding/litter help along the way. I really appreciated her daily updates and getting plenty of pics of my babies! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter in the NW DC area”
About: I have had dogs my whole life! Currently I had a 16 year old English setter named Maggie who is my absolute best friend in the world. I also have an 8 year old English setter named Major and a 2 year old mutt Peach. I am young and very active so I can handle dogs that need a lot of activity. I also am very used to taking care of my senior baby, and would love to help give your special fur baby. I am currently a graduate student in DC. I typically have night class 3 times a week but am free other than that! I would love to take care of your babies! I am very comfortable taking dogs on a walk, even larger dogs. I take my dogs on a walk daily, but prefer using a harness on them. My dogs have a fenced in backyard. I am comfortable giving medicines and feeding. One of my dogs at the moment is on a raw and hand made cooked diet so I am also comfortable with making special food if need be. I also am very strong and can carry dogs up stairs and put them on the beds if need be.
“This was our second time having Josh tend to our animal kingdom. He’s such a pleasure to have while we were away from our pup and two kittens. He’s super communicative before, during, and after each booking and each session. He’s punctual, kind, caring, and gives very detail info and photos. Thank you Josh!”
“I’d give Sarah 10 stars if I could! She’s incredibly kind, conscientious, and generous. Most importantly, she made my anxious older cat feel more comfortable than I’ve seen him be with any other sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Karrah kept company to my two cats for 12 days while I was away. I came back home to two very happy cats! Karrah send daily updates and pictures and was very responsive prior to the situation to set-up a meeting. I will reach out to her again if needed.”

Michael dropped in every day for two weeks to play with a new kitten when I was at work. He was reliable, kind and overall great to work with, and a wonderful companion to my kitten friend. My kitten had a LOT of energy and Michael played with him using multiple toys/lures and fun techniques to help tire him out. He had a real attention to detail, heating the kitten's food to just the right temperature. :). (Thank you Michael!) I look forward to working with Michael again!
Steve did a phenomenal job watching my boys! I let him know that I was nervous leaving them for so long, and he made sure to spend time with them to get them acclimated. The updates I received were always a fun read, and a few had me laughing. Pretty sure G Money and Jonah accepted him as their third bro.
Brittani is extraordinary! We were absolutely panicked when a sitter cancelled a few hours before we were heading to the airport for a week-long vacation abroad. Brittani saved the day. She did it with enthusiasm, reassurance, and kindness. She took great care of our Ralphie. And she made it all seem easy. It transformed our trip into a relaxing enjoyable one that we really needed. Her pictures and videos were the best. We are sincerely grateful to this compassionate and loving person! Brittani should be your top choice for drop-in pet sitting.
