About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all kinds for years and have three of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I’m studying to become a veterinarian and work part-time at a pet store, which has given me strong knowledge of pet health, behavior, and nutrition. I also have hands-on experience fostering senior dogs, sitting for cats, caring for a pregnant dog, and helping raise a litter of seven puppies. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and needs, and I always treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I know our pets are our children, I wont treat them as any less! I also know fish, small animal and reptile care very well! Se habla español! 🤗 I’m currently a part-time student, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available most days for walks, drop-ins, and sitting, including weekends. I can easily adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs and keep their schedule consistent. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard and three friendly small-to-medium sized dogs who are used to being around other pets. I always supervise interactions and make sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. I’m also able to follow any specific routines, feeding schedules, or crate needs you have. Whether your pet loves to play or prefers a calm environment, I’ll make sure they feel at home, well loved, and cared for!

Jiesen is trustworthy, punctual, friendly, and VERY communicative. I am so happy to have had him as a sitter and will definitely be booking again. 12/10”

About: Since rescuing a stray cat in 2021, I have been responsible for every aspect of her daily care, including feeding, cleaning, playtime, grooming, and monitoring her health. Caring for her has taught me patience, consistency, and how to recognize changes in a pet’s behavior. As a graduate student, I am organized, dependable, and committed to providing pets with a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while their owners are away. I’m currently a graduate student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate drop-in visits, cat care, dog walking, and house sitting based on your pet’s needs. I always make time to provide pets with attention, playtime, exercise, and companionship, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages during every visit. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medication, routines, and any special needs. I keep the environment clean, secure, and stress-free while respecting your home and your pet’s boundaries. Having cared for my rescued cat since 2021, I understand how important patience, consistency, and trust are when caring for animals, especially those who may be shy or anxious.

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 Wednesdays 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 house sat a lot and cared for pets, including injured or sick dogs. I had dogs growing up as well! Open to almost any job, just can’t bring pets back to my place. I work 9-5, and I’m happy to feed, walk, and play with pets in the mornings before work and in the evenings. Overnights are also great if you don’t want your pet to get lonely at night. I cannot have pets at my home, but I can come to your home and care for the pet in the environment they are used to. Happy to be inside or outside as much as you’d like me to.

About: I’ve had cats in my life since I was born. I’ve never spent an extended time away from cats of various origins. I have experience trimming nails, shaving, and administering subcutaneous medication to my own cats, and am a quick study for anything new. I am a full time student, but I have time in my schedule to make mid-day drop ins and I am rarely busy after classes. I’m completely comfortable staying overnight to keep your kitties (and your house) safe and sound. Back home, my cats get fed several times a day with fresh water and daily litter box cleanings. We follow the # of cats plus one rule. My cats get all the attention they ask for, though they spend most of the day sleeping.

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: I have been a pet owner my whole life. I have experience walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes and feeding both dogs and cats, as well as just spending time giving each pet the love and attention they deserve. I am currently a college student, however outside of classes I have flexible availability. I have full availability Fridays through Sundays, as well as Tuesdays. Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays I am available in the evenings, and occasionally in the mornings. I am confident in following care instructions including using muzzles, crates and leashes. I will never put your pet into an unsafe or stressful situation intentionally, and I am confident in my ability to handle any unexpected situations that arise.

Jennifer did such an amazing job caring for our 4 kitties, even with the complication of having them in two separate areas to keep them from eating each other’s food. I can tell from the photos that every one of the cats felt super comfortable around her and it put my mind at ease while I was away knowing they were getting true attention on top of their needs being met. Jennifer communicates well, is dependable, and clearly has a way with cats. Highly recommend!
