“We can’t recommend Colleen enough! She kindly cared for our elderly pup during a vacation period that saw a storm/blackout/heatwave. Colleen thoughtfully provided updates and ensured our pup was comfortable during this time.”

“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”

“Leo was super communicative, pro active, and sent lots of photos of our pup and cats while we were away for the weekend. It was our first time having Leo and he was super understanding of our rescue and reactive dog during the long walks. Thank you so much Leo!!”

“Jared was fantastic with our crew! We have a dog and cats who are pretty wary of strangers, but he was so patient and totally respected their boundaries. He eased in slowly and the results were great—everyone was happy and relaxed. The communication was awesome, and we loved getting all the updates. Plus, a huge extra thanks for cleaning up some cat vomit on our bedspread while we were out—definitely went above and beyond!”

“Julie has started drop-ins with my pup, Atlas. Atlas seems really happy with how it’s going and I don’t have to worry about her. Julie always sends photos and lets me know how the visit went.”

About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other small animals! I love all animals and will take care of your fur babies like my own! I’m a teacher and work M-F during the school year and am available for overnight stays, before school, or after school. In the summer I am available throughout the day. I am available for overnight stays as requested. I am happy to feed, water, scoop, play, and snuggle with your kitties as much or as little as you prefer.
“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.”

“Olivia took the best care of my Fi! She was responsive, got GREAT pics, and always stayed longer than what was required to give her the much needed extra play time! Will definitely book again :)”

“This is our second time booking Kaitlin for our two pups while we travel. She is responsible, on time, and sends pictures of our dogs. We have never had an issue and plan on using her in the future.”

About: I'm a full-time professional with fairly flexible work hours. I have two dogs, a happy, healthy 12 yr old Plott-hound mix, Ollie, and a happy, energetic and loving 2 yr old husky-shepherd mix, Bella., I've watched and cared for dozens of other dogs (friends, family, etc.) over the last 15 years and am generally known as a bit of a 'dog whisperer'. I absolutely love dogs and look forward to taking exceptional care of your pet when you need to leave them in somebody else's care. Ollie, Bella, and I walk for ~4 miles every day around the neighborhood, go to dog friendly parks/fields in my neighborhood, and walks in the woods where they can run off leash. As highlighted in the pictures, Ollie and Bella readily get along with a wide variety of dogs as a walking buddy, a sleeping buddy, or a running-around-a-field buddy. If you leave your dog with us, your dog will have new canine friends, get lots of fun neighborhood walks, and have friends to cuddle up with on the couch / in their dog bed after a long-day of walking, eating, and sleeping :). I typically do two long walks each day (one between ~7-9 AM, the other sometime between 5-7 PM). Will also do a short mid-day walk and/or a short pre-bedtime walk as needed! While Ollie and Bella were crate trained as puppies, at this point they roams freely throughout the house. That said, I'm happy to host crate-trained dogs, and more than comfortable allowing your (trained!) dog to roam free throughout my home much like my pups.

“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.”

“Jason dropped in to check in on my 2 dogs over the last weekend while I was out at a seminar. He was very punctual, followed directions, communicative, and my pups seemed very happy when I came home later in the day. Looking forward to Jason staying with my pups during my upcoming trip.”

“Landy was a wonderful pet sitter! She was so attentive to every detail when she stopped by before her first visit, and my cat was instantly drawn to her. She also provided excellent feedback and updates while I was away, and she left everything in tip-top shape for my return. I will definitely invite her back when I go away again!”

“Thomas is wonderful - reliable and on time, pays attention to details, goes above and beyond to make sure kitties get their time with him, and manages to get my shy cat to like him within two visits!”

About: I’ve lived with dogs since I was 8 years old. I have always had fun playing and taking care of them. My cousin and my aunt always come to me to make sure that their pets are feed and taken care of when they are gone. I’m currently in school but get out early at around 11. I can very much walk them anytime after 11 since I don’t do anything else. I can spend time with your fur baby in your backyard for however long you need me to! I am great with being out doors so I will never mind.
“Will absolutely ask Coralie to watch our boys again. They are each capable of getting a little spicy and it was nice to know that she gets it, doesn’t mind, and will still have chill social time with them. Thanks Coralie!”

Kacy is exceptional. She is just the right person we were looking for to take care of our dog to the same level we take care of him. It’s was very apparent the first time she met our dog that she truly loves dogs and understands their language. We’ve had nothing but great experiences with Kacy.

Ava is a GREAT sitter! She’s very communicative and attentive and went above and beyond for my pet. I’ve never had a sitter actually follow every one of my instructions, but Ava did! My flight even got delayed and Ava made sure to leave enough food for my pet to stay cared for. She provided pictures every day and even helped clean up a mess my pet made while I was absent. I would definitely book her again to care for my dog or cat, as she’s great with both animals.

My first time using a sitter and I had a great experience with Karen. She was communicative, always on time and took excellent care of my kitties. The daily photos gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I will absolutely rebook with Karen in the future!

I hired Chanelle for about three weeks with daily visits, and she did an absolutely wonderful job. Originally, I had planned for visits every other day, but one of my cats suddenly became unwell, so I had to ask her at the last minute to switch to daily visits. She was very flexible and kindly accommodated this change without any issues. She took great care of my cats, making sure to administer medication properly every day, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. She also consistently ensured that their food and water were replenished and that they were well looked after. I truly appreciate her reliability, flexibility, and the level of care she provided. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter.
