“Colleen was absolutely wonderful and very attentive to my little man. She followed all the instructions that I left for daily care, and provided photos at every check in. I will absolutely use her again.”
“Julie did a great job doing drop-ins for my cats while I was out of town for a few days. Super communicative, adorable photos, and the cats food area was really clean when I came back!”
“This was my first time using rover and Olivia was a pleasure and constant professional and helped ease my nerves. She went over and beyond to make sure that the dogs were taken care of.”
“Olivia was extraordinary. Our dogs had some digestive issues while she was taking care of them and she couldn’t have been more loving and caring toward them. She was communicative and accessible the entire time and went beyond my expectations.”
“Jocabet is the best! We had her check in on our pup while I was out of town for a work trip. She was prompt in responding to messages, accommodating of our schedule, sent great photos, and gave us peace of mind that our puppy was well cared for during the long work days. We'll absolutely book her again.”
“Leo is wonderful!! He kindly agreed to come to a meet and greet, he’s so chill and genuinely has such a kind demeanor. He is on time (even early) and spends the entire time booked playing/walking or caring for your animal. He’s watched my 7 month old doodle 2x now and will be our regular dog sitter! Would recommend without a doubt :)”
“Stephanie has been a sitter for our formerly two and now one cat for about a year now and has always provided great service. She's very attentive and thoughtful with our cat(s), responsible and a great communicator.”
“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”
“I will be having Steve take care of my girls whenever I can. Steve has a deep love for animals and my girls immediately took to him. It was so heartwarming during the meet and greet. And today, I know they are loved and cared for💗 I got adorable pictures and the best update about their time together. I am so grateful 🥹💗”
“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!”
“Kaitlin is easy to communicate with and kept our elderly cat comfortable and fed while we went on vacation. I would recommend using her services in the future!”
About: We’re Brett and Shane - just a couple of married millennials with no kids and a pup of our own. We’re parents to a 10 year old long haired dachshund and are simply dog obsessed. We’ve been through it all as dog parents and dog owners for over 20 years. Your pup will be treated like a prince/princess and part of the family. Happy and familiar with administering medications, regular maintenance, dogs of any age, basic training, and routine care. We’re doing it already for our pup, who you’ll certainly get to know, Florence, so why not extend that TLC to your fur baby, too?! Shane works from home 24/7, so one of the two of us is always present. We will either loop your pup into our dogs 4 daily walk routine, with 1-2 longer walks per day, or adjust her schedule to meet your dogs needs. We like to be more active on the weekend, so your pup will enjoy a longer nature walk, and in the downtime in our apartment lots of plays and couch snuggles with our dachshund. We live in an apartment building, and welcome you to come visit us before you book your stay. There is an elevator, so no steps for older or low-rider dogs (like our own!). We have ramps all over our apartment for the little guys. We’re free range dog parents - we don’t have any restrictions on furniture, beds, etc - unless you have rules for your pet at home, which we will certainly enforce. Otherwise, we’re just two working professionals starting our little side hustle. We’re background checked and verified - let’s connect and you can ask you whatever you may need!
“Emily did a great job taking care of my cat Babka while I was out of town for three days. She was always on time and sent pics and updates. Babka has a lot of energy and needs a playmate and Emily was happy to give him playtime and treats. I came home to a very happy and relaxed cat.”
“Bri did a great job taking care of my cat Babka while I was out of town. I came home to a very relaxed and happy cat. I would happily rebook her for future pet sits.”
“Mia is amazing!! So glad to know her! She is so great to work with and I feel like my cat is in wonderful hands. I hope she is available for my next trip.”
“Sophie was very communicate, easy to work with, sent lots of pictures, and seemed to get along well with my two cats. Would definitely book again, she has a real love and care for animals. :)”
About: I love both cats and dogs, and have sat for both. I’ve had the privilege of feeding, walking, and playing with dogs owned by family, friends, and neighbors my whole life. My schedule is completely open, so I can come by at a moment’s notice. I can come by during the day, in the evening, or even overnight if needed. I’m also available on all holidays. I keep a clean and pet safe environment in my home. I keep the area clear of hazards, dangerous foods, dangerous plants, and other animals

Drew took care of our in-laws cats and was wonderful! We are extra grateful as one of the cats can sometimes be withdrawn and grumpy, but she came out each time to greet him and seemed very comfortable with him. Happy cats = happy home! Communication was great and we received pictures each time.
Aminah has been taking care of our two cats, and our very old dog since he passed away, repeatedly for over a year. She is amazing. I know that when I am away I don't have to worry about them because they are in such good hands. I would recommend her for cats or dogs, including pets with specific medical requirements as our old dog had a lot of special needs and she was just incredible with him
Jocabet is the best! We had her check in on our pup while I was out of town for a work trip. She was prompt in responding to messages, accommodating of our schedule, sent great photos, and gave us peace of mind that our puppy was well cared for during the long work days. We'll absolutely book her again.
Shandra took amazing care of our Maine Coon, Louis over this past Thanksgiving! He greeted her for the first time like an old friend - meowed and ran right over excited to say hi and they’ve been friends ever since :) She made sure to give Louis lots of playtime, cuddles, and brushes for us while we were gone and we’re excited to have her back next time!
David was great! He was communicative and responsive, and I trusted that he was taking good care of my cat while I was away. He went above and beyond, even picking up food/litter that I had purchased from my package room and alerting me to a maintenance issue in my apartment. I would recommend David and book him again.
I was really happy with Sydni’s level of communication, attentiveness, and care for my two cats. She went above and beyond to address issues when automatic appliances failed and created messes, kept me updated and feeling comfortable that all needs were being cared for, and most importantly I came hope to happy cats and a pristine environment. Sydni also jumped in for an extra unplanned visit when my flight was canceled. I will not hesitate to book again!
