We had a setback and were late to pick him up, there was no problem or complaint. They were always very kind.”

“I was very happy with Kimberly. Our dog was very scared and not on his best behavior on Day 1. Kimberly reached out for advice instead of giving up. It worked!

I recommend her and will definitely be a return customer!”

About: Hi! I'm Aileen, a 20-year-old who's always had a special place in my heart for all animals. Growing up, I was the go to pet sitter in my neighborhood, and I've spent many hours caring for and bonding with both. I've volunteered at animal shelters, where I helped with feeding, socializing, and walking the dogs, and I've fostered a few kittens, too. I don’t have any cats of my own simply because id feel bad leaving them home while i work/go to school, but i feed the strays outside my house daily. I'd like to think that i'm a calm and gentle person, friendly but a little reserved, so I tend to connect really well with animals. I truly believe every animal deserves love, patience, and a safe space, and I love being part of that care.
About: I've grown up living around and taking care of animals since I turned 5. Dealing with Pitbulls, Chihuahua's, and so on. I've also been around plenty of cats in my life to know how to take care of them. (Just minus hairless cats, never been around them before.) I'm very patient when it comes to pets, knowing that it's usually best to let them come to you. I also know how to give pets any medications they may need. Just not injections. I've got college classes on Monday's-Thurdays, and I will list the times each class. But after December 18th my time is mostly open during the week. When caring for pets in clients homes, I will keep my eyes on them. Making sure they're taken out when needed for potty breaks and walks, play time, feeding when necessary and being sure their toy's are cleaned up.

Communication was excellent and he was quick to respond and kept us updated, which we really appreciated. He also left our place well taken care of. Overall, we had a really positive experience and we’d highly recommend Tony to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

About: I have extensive experience in caring for cats of all ages and temperaments, from playful kittens to older, more reserved felines. I understand the unique personalities that cats have and can quickly adapt to their specific needs, whether they prefer playtime and active engagement or quiet companionship. My experience includes maintaining feeding schedules, providing litter box care, and handling grooming needs to keep cats comfortable and happy. I am skilled at recognizing feline body language and behavior, which allows me to detect any signs of stress or discomfort early on and address them with gentle care. I am also comfortable administering medications and caring for cats with special dietary or health needs, ensuring they stay safe and well-cared for in their home environment. With a deep appreciation for the independence and individuality of cats, I strive to make every visit stress-free and enjoyable for each feline friend.
About: I fostered a litter of 7 kittens and adopted one. I have ensured she is always properly taken cared for. She is an indoor/outdoor cat so I have the experience of taking care of those two worlds. I know what to do in the case of her bringing me a gift in the shape of a dead mouse.
“Eliana is a champion in taking care of multiple animals and also loving on them. I have TICA registered Ragdolls and one mama cat was far along in to her pregnancy when we left for the weekend. I also have a 65 pound sweet old dog and some of my cats like to try and sneak outside. Eliana agreed to do a considerable amount of work including putting antibiotic cream on one kitty, the possibility of dealing with birth (which happened), and cleaning multiple litterboxes in different rooms. She did such an amazing job, I cannot say enough. She moved newborn kittens to a safe place and set them up a warm spot, safely maneuvered my outside cat house and enclosure without either of my boys escaping, and easily befriended our old girl, Skully (dog). All of their areas were neat and tidy upon our return. I adored all of the photos she sent. I have no clue how she got such good photos of my cats. My confidence in her abilities were confirmed when I saw how happy my crew was with her in the photos. There was one of her and Skully shaking hands! ** I highly recommend Eliana to watch your animals. If you have a large or very important request, she is not intimidated and will come through flawlessly**”

I’m experienced with females in heat, regular potty routines, and providing a balance of indoor comfort and outdoor playtime. I’m home full-time Monday–Friday and provide constant supervision. I only step out briefly (about 15 minutes) for school drop-offs and pick-ups, and I monitor pets during that time with a Furbo camera. Weekend boarding is available with advance notice! My home is cage-free with supervised free roam, but I’m happy to accommodate crates or specific care needs if that’s what your dog is used to. I also offer baths during their stay if needed. I have two friendly female Frenchies who love making new playmates, and I can also keep dogs separated if preferred. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority!

“They kept us constantly updated and sent us pictures. Wally was happy when I picked him up and he had no issues. I was so grateful that they accepted to take care of him on such a late notice (literally the night before). I will definitely use them again.”
“Alexis was an absolutely amazing caretaker I would 100% book with her again and probably will do so in the near future. The amount of care, dedication and attention left me feeling so relieved that my two pups were in great hands even if one of my pups was a bit skittish and had boundaries with strangers it was clear he was able to relax in her home. She took plenty of pictures and her notes were so detailed I felt completely sure that they were having a great time. They had plenty of long walk’s, enrichment activities and made sure they were fed well and full. Its clear she has a great skill set that allows her to understand dog behavior exceptionally that makes her perfect for taking care of your pups, I was able to learn even more about my pups during their stay with Alexis. Cant recommend enough!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11, helping my mom foster and pet sit for friends, family, and neighbors. Over the past 8 years, I’ve become the go-to sitter for walks, feedings, playtime, and lots of tail wags! What really sets me apart is my hands-on experience. Not just in homes, but also in a veterinary clinic, where I volunteered while my mom worked there. That gave me firsthand knowledge of how to care for pets of all ages and needs-from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra TLC. I’m confident, calm, and comfortable handling all sorts of dogs, and I treat every pet like family. Whether it's a simple walk or more involved care, I’m always up for the job! I attend college but I do online. As of right now, I solely work in pet care and child care. So I make my own schedule and can provide quality care to you pet. I care for your pets like they’re my own. With love, patience, and lots of attention to detail. I understand that some pets may feel uneasy when their family leaves or a new person enters their space, and I always approach them with calm energy and respect to help them feel safe and secure. My top priority is to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible like meals, walks, playtime, and snuggles, so they feel comfortable and cared for in your absence. I also make sure your home stays clean and well-maintained during my stay. I clean up after your pet (and myself!), keep things tidy, and always leave your home as clean-or cleaner-than I found it. That means vacuuming up fur, wiping down surfaces, and respecting your space as if it were my own. Your pet’s well-being and your peace of mind matter to me, and I take pride in providing both.

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs, small and large ever since I was a kid. I am very trusted amongst family members when they need advice on their pets whether they are feeling okay or what they enjoy. I have watched over cats and dogs to either take them out to the bathroom, clean their puppy pads or change their litter. I can provide meals and bathroom breaks in a timely manner in order to satisfy furry friends! I know a lot about pets because of how much time I’ve spent over the years researching and learning pet behavior on what comforts or can discomfort them. I take pride in being a responsible pet owner/ caregiver because I know furry friends need just as much care as a child too! I’m currently in a college student looking for another fun job. I currently work a part time, so my schedule is often switched and random so I wouldn’t say that I can set a specific schedule for pet caregiving days but I do get my schedule 2 weeks in advance so I am always open to arrange meetings/ appointments those days! I clean up after every mess they make. I make sure to keep a steady schedule for meals. I make sure to brush and clean them as needed. And I always make sure they’re comfortable whether it be to play or relax.

About: Hello, I’ve walked dogs for two years. Friends and neighbors trusted me to make sure their pets get their daily walk and food. I fostered a dog for 6 months and have a cat named Naomi. Fun fact I rescued my cat as a kitten that was found in my backyard. Originally thought it was a girl but Naomi is a boy and the name has stayed! I took Sugar after one of my fathers friends was about to sender her. She is smart and I have trained her to be friendly with other dogs as she did not socialize before she met my family. Having a half lab half German shepherd means you have to have constant walks and high energy but it also keeps me in shape to walk and play with your furry family members. Currently I have open availability during the summer. During the school year I work as an avid tutor/ substitute teacher for FCPS. I’m also a student at Marymount university! I study accounting and finance. Classes are online and at night. I always check gates, fences, and doors before I enter and leave houses. It helps make sure that everything is secure. I like to have contact to make sure I know how I can enter the house and where to park. As well as know where the pets food, water, leash, toys, and bags are. I will update and send pictures to make sure you know your pet is in good hands.

“We are very thankful for Kara and her family for loving our dog, Elvis, as their own. He loves their home— which is evident by the aggressive tail-wagging when we pull into their driveway. :) Great family”
“Excellent pet sitters Tello came home happy and sent us some photos and more of how Tello (our Yorkie) was doing. We realized at the last minute that our hotel did not accept pets, so we only made the reservation one day before. Tello was there from December 23rd to 25th. We had a setback and were late to pick him up, there was no problem or complaint. They were always very kind.”
“They are our go to for our pup every time we leave out of town. Always so kind and welcoming and love the photos they send of her. She seems happy and well taken care of! Thank you again!!!”

“I was very happy with Kimberly. Our dog was very scared and not on his best behavior on Day 1. Kimberly reached out for advice instead of giving up. It worked! He calmed down and all went well from there! I appreciated her patience and resolve. She communicated during my trip and sent pictures which put my mind at ease. I recommend her and will definitely be a return customer!”
“He has watched my dog twice now and I don't think I will take her anywhere else whenever I need to go somewhere. Cisco does a great job at updating you, sending you pictures, and just communicating overall. I would definitely suggest him to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”
“I had a great experience with Dana. My dog seemed comfortable and happy during his stay, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She clearly has a natural way with dogs, and I could tell my dog felt safe and well-cared for. I would definitely trust her again to watch my dog in the future! Highly recommend!”

“I had an amazing experience with Alejandro as my pet sitter! He and his wife watched my husky, Rocky, for two days, and from the moment we met, he was very welcoming and attentive. Alejandro introduced me to his home, made Rocky feel right at ease, and kept me updated constantly with pictures and messages. He truly showed so much care for Rocky throughout the weekend. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and I highly recommend Alejandro!”

Phoenyx looked very happy being with her so I know she was comfortable and for me that’s all that matters. Thank you so much for taking care of my baby. Would definitely use her in the future when I need to take a trip that Phoenyx can’t come with. I know she’ll be taking good care of while I’m away. BIG THANKS!! Glad you responded to my request!”
“Ruby was so welcoming and patient with my Rottweiler, Rexie! I was so nervous cause this is her first time staying with another family and she can be so stubborn and particular. But Ruby was so understanding and communicated well with us and with Rex. She sent daily pics and videos of my pup sleeping and hanging out or playing with her kids. Rexie had the best time! Ruby even washed her blankets and bed before I picked her up, thank you so much!!”
“April was the perfect fit for our golden doodle puppy, Winnie! Winnie is a very energetic puppy who is not fully trained yet. April was confident that winnie would fit right in and she would be able to handle her behaviors. We were sent videos of Winnie roaming the backyard, playing by the pool and safely interacting with other dogs. It was a great experience for Winnie and for us as anxious dog parents to know that she was in good hands. We will use April again and would recommend her to anyone, especially if you have a doodle!”

I really appreciated the picture updates —it was so nice to see him having fun and being cared for so well. I would definitely recommend Valerie to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”
“Alondra was amazing! She took my dog super last minute, literally agreed the morning of drop off. I am very grateful for that as well as the communication, she updated me every day about how my dog was doing and sent pictures as well upon request. She also genuinely cared and asked me about care instructions during drop off, has a wonderful environment next to a park that fit my dogs needs, and family who was also able to care for my dog!”
“I booked her from 5:30 AM to 6 PM and she did an outstanding job taking care of my pup. She took him on a nice walk, made sure he was well-fed, and kept him engaged with playful activities throughout the day. She also sent updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was at work. My dog came home happy, calm, and clearly well taken care of. I truly appreciate the care and energy she put into the day. Definitely booking with her again!”
