“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.”

“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.”

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!!!”


“Tasha was a fantastic dog sitter and I would recommend her to anyone with pet sitting needs. She stayed in my apartment and dog sat for me for 5 days and she was great. My dog is very large and has some quirks. Tasha followed my instructions and took great care of him and was extremely communicative, so I didnt need to worry at all. My apartment was spotless when I got back. Im so glad I found Tasha!!”


“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!”



“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!”


About: Hi I’m Angel, my first pets were my Himalayan Precious, my Golden retrievers Zacky and Coco and my shih tzu Gizmo. My love for Animals run deep. I honestly believe animals are better than most people. I take comfort knowing something so special and pure can come from our cats and dogs. My experience isn’t just personal, I Volunteered weekly at the Charles county humane society which included playing and tending to the animals as-well as organizing all the paperwork. I also volunteered seasonally at “Paws for life” in Chesapeake city. My availability is usually always open unless my work schedule deems otherwise. My other experience with animals include parakeets, several kinds of fish, a few Rabbits, a snake named Molly and 2 Chinese red geese named Sweet and Spicy. My two Kitties are Simba and Oriel, a 17 month old orange boy and a 7 month old Persian who keep me just as busy. I look forward to caring for your fur baby whenever you need me. I follow the schedule given to me, unless said otherwise. I like them to eat first before going on our first walk. There are normally 4 walks a day, 2 being in the afternoon and the last one before I head to sleep. Dog walking is now being accepted, the walks will be done by my little brothers as a way to expand my pet care business. You’ll book through me and one of the lovely gentleman will come and walk your fur babies on the given dates at the given times. I live on the top floor and I have a balcony. The balcony is usually closed unless I’m home. There is plenty space for a small dog or cat to run around and play with the toys on hand or their own. I keep a bowl of water filled throughout the day and the food bowl is filled at meal time.

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!!

Grace was great with my dog Otis for a long weekend. She was very communicative, took Otis on lots of walks, and sent daily updates to let me know he was doing well. She was also very flexible when we had some travel delays and made sure Otis was taken care of. Would definitely use again in the future!

This review is an exercise in not GUSHING. So, to that end, here are some convenient bullet points. - If you're considering Alex: do it. - If you're concerned he's expensive: its worth it. - If you want total peace of mind: you'll have it. Alex accommodated a last night minute change to a different house sitting address, and was really great about it. He sends pictures that make you miss your dog, and also think "he's getting pretty good at taking photos!" Our dog was very well cared for. Lots and lots of playing and cuddling. Our home was respected and Alex communicated well throughout. In the DC area, we're sure he is the best. Thanks again Alex!

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!

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.

Andre is an expert in caring for dogs and I would absolutely recommend him! He took exceptional care of Ty including walks, play time, and helping with separation anxiety. Andre provided regular updates (photos and videos) without me even asking. He's also very personable and 100% reliable. Many thanks, Andre!

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!
