Becca is amazing! She has great communication and gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away from my cat Lola. Her daily reports are detailed and of course she sends so many great photos. I will definitely book with Becca again!

About: Hello, my name’s Alexa! I have six years of experience looking after and working with animals. I started with helping with my friends’ pets before moving to the apps care/wag. I’ve worked with plenty of cats, puppies, elderly dogs, high energy/reactive dogs and plenty others. I’ve administered oral and injectable medications to both dogs and cats and even a lizard. I’m detail oriented and focused, so I’ll follow your directions thoroughly and with so much love given to your critters. I’d love to be considered for your pet-sitting needs! I currently work part time as a bartender, so i’m around most mornings and afternoons! I’m not home too late from my job most nights. When i’m in a client’s home, I try to make the animals as comfortable with me as possible. I don’t make a lot of noise and I stick to their schedule as much as I can.

About: From watching family and friends dogs and cats over the years, I’ve been able to create a strong bond with animals. Whether your pet is energetic and in need of some play time, or on the calmer side and just in need of a bit of company, I love creating a personalized experience for your pet based on their personality. My approach to petcare is empathetic, energized, and personalized. I can’t wait to meet your pet! I work remotely from my apartment and have much flexibility when it comes to keep pets indoors and taking them out for a walk. My property also includes a dog park if your animal is in the mood for play time! For in home pet visits, my apartment features a dog park and dog grooming station. In addition, I and central to multiple walking paths and additional dog parks. For cat sitting, I am able to provide a comfortable and relaxing environment (and can bring toys if needed!)

Dani did great with my two cats! She was able to give them medicine and sent many pictures playing with them and giving them affection. She even gave them each a little toy for Christmas! Such a relief to know my cats were in good hands while I was gone - highly recommend Dani!

About: I have grown up with dogs and adopted cats as an adult. I have dog sat for my family (Golden named Goose). I have also watched my roommates dog and two cats, on a regular basis. I know I can’t get my own (dog) for a few more years, so I’d love to take care of yours!! My wife is also a dog and kitty lover, so if more time is needed around the pet she can help when needed! M-F: I work in the office (8am-4p) as a GIS Analyst. I'm off Saturday and Sunday. I don’t mind watching during the week, as long as they can be left for 8 hours. You can also get help from my wife (free of charge), she only works Mon/Tues right now, so there could be more drop-ins later in the week, if necessary. I will make sure they are fed, taken out and walked. I don’t mind having them sleep with me or putting them in a kennel, if needed.

Jess was a fantastic sitter! Very communicative and flexible when it came to coordinating the key/fob pickup, and the girls got lots of TLC during her drop-in visits. I will definitely rebook with her next time I go out of town!

About: I’ve lived with pets my entire life and they are so dear to me. My family has had multiple cats at all times and a dog and caring for them has always been a joy. This has included several very senior cats over the years (16+ years old!). I am experienced in tending to cat litter boxes, food, water, and play time. I also have experience giving medication orally and topically for cats. I am also experienced in walking dogs and providing food, water, and oral medications. I am a pretty active person, so if your dog needs longer walks I can easily accommodate them! I am a student working on my own schedule, so I am flexible with my availability. Mornings are especially good for pet sitting - I love starting the day with pets. As a cat mom I always want pictures, so I will keep you updated through photos and text. I am also happy to address any incidental messes in the house while I’m looking after your pet.

About: I have fifteen years of pet sitting and care experience, to include drop-ins, walks, feedings, litter box cleaning and overnight stays. When I was little, I wanted to be a veterinarian, and then a zoologist. Neither career panned out, but my love for animals remained. Now I get my fill of furry friends by providing excellent, worry-free care for your pets! As a proud mom of three urban hens, I know how nerve-wracking it is to be away from a beloved pet. That’s why I provide frequent updates and pictures to my clients so that they can go about their workdays or trips without anxiety. I specialize in cats, dogs and birds. I can’t wait to meet your pet! I am currently freelancing part-time, which provides me with an extremely flexible schedule to care for your pets! From walks to drop-ins to overnight stays, I can provide a variety of services to DMV pet owners When in your home whether for a drop-by or overnight stay, I am committed to making your pet feel as comfortable and happy as possible in the absence of their person/people. I follow my clients’ instructions and specifics of their pets’ routines, and follow them closely. I also provide lots of love and cuddles (or love from afar for pets that don’t like to be touched!)

Allison has been caring for our cats for at least a year now and my partner and I are frankly unwilling to leave them with other people or are scared to have to try to find another cat sitter. She’s so great with them and great to us! We feel lucky to have met her! The cats feel the same way too! Thank you Allison!
