“Josh was great! My dogs absolutely loved him and he was extremely responsible and super easy to work with. He was extremely commutative, let me know when he arrived and when he left. He even sent pictures so I knew my dogs were good and safe!”

“Ellie’s care and communication was excellent from start to finish. She was recommended from a friend and we are so happy to have met her! We have an older cat who takes oral meds and she was not only great with him, but also really bonded with our skittish younger one, who regularly sat in her lap by the end of the week. Thank you for giving us total peace of while we were gone - highly recommend!”

About: Hello! My name is Amber 🫶🏼 I absolutely love dogs and cats. Growing up I had family pets and I absolutely love animals- my family dog an adorable golden retriever mix and our cat Kato 🥰 Growing up I helped out around My aunt’s dog grooming shop over the summer so I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all breeds. I have previous experience walking dogs with Rover and looking after my family dogs and cats! My neighborhood is very pet friendly and so is my apartment unit with plenty of outdoor space and many parks nearby so perfect area for dog walking or pet sitting for longer stays I am home Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I have a flexible schedule so I can walk and look after your pet during the day. I am available on weekends for longer stays. I usually run brief errands during the day but I am flexible if your pet needs me at home in the case of booking a longer visit. I have a large apartment in Navy yard with court yard grass area and rooftop outdoor area. I am close to several parks, grassy areas, and walking paths to walk your dog. Dog spa, Dog and Cat friendly neighborhood and apartment. There is also a vet located close to my apartment.

About: I grew up with dogs and have always had a special connection with them. Since my dog passed, I know how hard it is to find a loving and safe place to leave your pet and have peace of mind while you are away. Enjoy your time away with the knowledge I’ll be sending you updates and photos of the adventures and fun we’re having. Lots of great long walks in a dog-friendly neighborhood in DC (literally steps away from the National Mall!!). Very welcoming home for dogs that are welcome and enjoy lounging on the furniture. Experienced in providing dogs with medications and special requirements. Most of all I love having four-legged friends around. I am available weekdays and most weekends. i can easily manage full-time care for your pet or pets — worry free! My office is just a few blocks from my home and can readily accommodate daytime walks Let's connect! I live in a secure pet-friendly building. I keep my home “pet safe” ensuring nothing could injure or harm your dog. If you allow your dog on your furniture at home, i am completely comfortable allowing your dog to relax here.

About: I have dog sat for friends when they're out of town. I have watched my mom's cat for her whole life too. I love animals, I love playing with them, I love the excuse to get out for a walk, I love sitting with them, I love talking to them like they can understand what I'm saying. I genuinely enjoy hanging out with animals and care for them deeply. I work from home and have the flexibility to leave for a walk or run an errand whenever I need to. So if that means a 3 pm walk for your pup or a morning and evening feeding time for your pet, I'm here! I have a fenced in back yard, fenced in front balcony, and enclosed spaces throughout my home. I also have an open floor plan on the main level where I would feed your pet and hang out them mostly.

About: Hi! I recently moved to the DC area after graduating with my B.A. in Biology. I have four years of experience working in veterinary medicine, where I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I’m currently taking a gap year while applying to veterinary school, so animal care continues to be a major part of both my professional life and future goals. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic pets who need plenty of exercise to older or more anxious animals who may require extra patience and attention. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to provide updates while you’re away so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for I currently work full-time as a veterinary technician in the Eastern Market. My hours and days are as follows: M/Th: 7:50a-7p, F:7:50a-6p & Sat: 8:20a-2p. Outside of these hours, I am available to do drop ins and walks, and would be more than happy to provide house sitting if your schedule aligns! In your home, I always like owners to let me know beforehand what is expected of me. This includes walking times, feeding times, potty times, medications, and, for overnight stays in your home, I like to know basic home amenities, such as how often to bring in the mail and when to take out the trash. I also would like to know how many times throughout the day you'd like to be contacted, whether that be an update on your pet or photos.

Candace did a great job with my kitten Blue while I was away. She came twice a day, made sure he had fresh water and that his feeder and litter box were working, and gave him plenty of playtime and attention. She sent updates and photos after every visit, so I never had to wonder how he was doing. Blue was calm and happy when I got home. She's dependable, easy to communicate with, and clearly cares about the animals she watches. Highly recommend, and I'll be booking her again!

Gregory is amazing! We have very timid rescue cats. He was able to engage and interact with them right away. Something other (very good) sitters required 20-30 visits to do. Gregory is an above average cat sitter.

While I did not personally have the pleasure of meeting Treva, as I was on vacation, both my mother and sister and most importantly my cat, loved her! She did a GREAT job administering my cat’s medication. I even heard he warmed up to Treva and let her pet him, he barely does this with my mom and sister! I think at this point even though I’m back, he misses Treva. I’m not jealous right?🤔😂 My sister said if she had a pet and needed services she’d DEFINITELY book Treva! I already have plans to rebook her January if she’ll have me!🤞

Kayli did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats, Cheeto and Fina. She was kind, reliable, and attentive to their needs, making sure they were well cared for while we were away. We truly appreciate her help and the care she showed our cats. We would happily recommend Kayli to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We would definitely book her again!
