“Celeste is dependable and a good communicator. She kept our dog happy and walked, cleaned her before leaving each day so muddy walks were not an issue after leaving our dog until we were home from work. Thank you Celeste!”

About: I spent my childhood taking care of my childhood pets and neighborhood pets as well. I’m completely comfortable with animals and would love to have fun with your pets! I love going on walks, keeping pets active and engaged, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. I am a senior at American University, so my availability is fairly open. I am available on Saturdays all day. On Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, I am unavailable from 2pm to 7pm. However, I am available during other times on those weekdays. I am unavailable from 4pm to 7pm on Wednesdays, but free other times on Wednesdays. I have experience house-sitting and cleaning homes, so I know the importance of respecting someone else’s space. I feel confident that I can care for pets and assure owners that their pets and homes will be safe and intact.

About: In addition to caring for my own dogs since I was a child, I've been the go-to petsitter for my family and neighborhood throughout high school. Now that I'm in college, I miss fur babies dearly, and I'm excited to get back into the business! I'm at school full-time, but my weekends and Mondays are completely free, plus Thursday mornings and evenings are open as well. I'd be happy to look after your pets during weekend getaways, or stop by as needed when evening events take you away from home. Your home is yours, and I'm more than willing to follow your routine and rules so that your pet feels secure and you need not worry while trying to enjoy some time away. I also tend to be very communicative, so that you know exactly what's up and can rest easy.

About: Hello! I have been a regular pet-sitter, mostly for dogs, for 5 years. I am a patient, conscientious caregiver who loves to play, take walks, and cuddle with pets of any breed, size, and personality :) I am currently pursuing my masters degree during the evening at American University, but otherwise my schedule is very flexible. I am more than happy to pop into your home for quick dog walks, provide more intensive care like overnight/weekend sitting, and care for your pet like it's my own! I only have classes on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 5:30-8:00 pm, and can absolutely work around these commitments. I am a very hands-on, responsible petsitter who has experience working with dogs and cats that require a lot of attention and also have medical needs. I am comfortable administering medication to pets and caring for more than one pet as well. Fostering comfort, happiness, and your pet's wellbeing is what I pride myself on!

About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs since I was a little kid and absolutely love both. Also an avid fish lover ! I have a flexible schedule and am committed to providing your pets with the best possible care :) My schedule is very flexible and I can work on short notice if necessary. I rarely need to commute and most of my work is remote. My primary service is dog walking, but whether I work in that context or as a sitter I always treat animals with the respect they deserve. I’m clean and efficient, but I’m also adaptable to the pet and their needs (if they need more or less exercise, a special diet, etc.), very attentive, and keen on good communication with the owner incase of any questions, issues, or cute photos.

About: Hi! My name is Meera and I am 23-years-old. I grew up with four sweet dogs including a German shepherd, a Bull Mastiff, a Belgian Malinois, a terrier, and a golden doodle. As an adult I’m the proud owner of an 8 lb chihuahua! I have the best of both worlds in terms of large breeds and small breeds. Given that I grew up with five very different dog breeds and their personalities, I understand every dog has their own unique needs. Some dogs are very family-oriented and are wary of strangers whereas other dogs are friendly with everyone they meet! Some dogs need more exercise whereas some dogs need less. Regardless of what your dog needs, my number one priority is to provide the best walking experience your dog can have to ensure the dog's and your happiness! I an a grad student and have a free schedule for the summer! Other days can be discussed. I am available for dog walking, pet sitting, drop-in visits, and more. I ready to care for your dog in the comfort of their home according to your instructions. I will tailor my care to the owner’s and pet's individual needs. Highly flexible.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for many years, and each experience has taught me how to be patient, loving, and responsible. I looked after my sweet poodle for 17 years, especially when she grew older and developed Alzheimer’s. It was a challenging time, but I cared for her with all my heart. I also helped care for dogs adopted by my family. My elderly aunt adopted a street dog named Fred, and since she couldn’t manage walks and vet visits on her own, I was the one who took care of him. Later, my grandmother adopted another rescue named Bruce, and I became his main walking companion because of her limited mobility. Currently, I live with my host family, and they have a wonderful rescue dog named Rosie. Whenever they travel, I’m fully responsible for her care — from walks to cuddles — and she has truly become my best friend. These experiences taught me how to adapt to the unique needs of each dog, whether they’re seniors, rescues, or playful companions. I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I currently have a very flexible routine, which allows me to adapt easily to your pet’s needs. I can adjust my schedule to make sure they’re cared for and happy. When caring for pets, my priority is always their safety and comfort. I make sure to follow their usual routines, from feeding and walks to playtime and rest, so they feel secure and at ease. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and I’m always careful with doors, leashes, and surroundings during walks. Whether in my client’s home or with a pet I’m sitting, I treat their space with respect and keep everything clean and organized. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, so I do everything with responsibility and care.

About: I have a pet Russian tortoise who requires special care and delicate handling that's more involved than, say, walking and feeding a dog or taking care of a cat. I have a pretty flexible schedule both this summer and into the fall. Pet care can easily be scheduled around my summer job and college classes. I make sure pets, my own and others that I've been responsible for, get plenty of attention. I don't leave them until all their needs have been met

Our dog Hope loved Grant as soon as she met him at the meet and greet, and she was so excited when he showed up for her walk. Grant is kind and loving towards Hope, and is very understanding about her quirky golden personality. He’s also a good communicator about logistics and scheduling, and is very on time. We highly recommend Grant.
