Erin took wonderful care of Sully. She comforted him during some loud storms, which I’m very grateful for. To ease my worry, she was very communicative and sent lots of updates & pictures. Would happily rebook her again!

Boy, i feel really lucky to have come across Donna. Donna was awesome with Suzie. I was concerned since Suzie can be a feisty pup. But she took to Donna in no time and they really seemed to hit it off. Donna was very fast to respond and my mind was so at ease knowing that Suzie was in her care. I think that is about the highest praise i can possibly give.

Marcel came back to me well loved and cared for by Shanilka and her family! Marcel was very relaxed at returning home. Thank you for the pictures that you sent. Great thanks for your flexibility on our drop off and pick up time when our plane was late! I especially loved that Marcel slept with your mom and ignored the bed. He had a wonderful team to care for him. I will definitely use your services again. Thanks again❤️🙏🤗

Laurie and Richard helped me last minute when I struggled to find a dog sitter on a holiday weekend. They were also very accommodating to my travel schedule which was a little flux. My dog can be rather anxious but she quickly warmed up to them. The fact that they have a house with a yard was also a benefit to my pup! They also are true animal lovers and very patient with each animals needs and making sure they are comfortable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a pet sitter!

It was a good experience for him to socialize with Andy’s daughter and other dogs he dogs sits.I appreciated the daily pictures and videos. We won’t hesitate to reach out again.

Communication was great with check ins during the day and drop off/pick up went smoothly. So grateful to have found them!

5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Laura is in constant communication. This made the entire experience an absolute dream 💭 . Although I had to leave my little Très Darling for two weeks, Laura made sure, every day, that I had pictures and updates about my Très Darlings day❣️ When we arrived home, Darling told me all about how they played in the snow, walked a lot, slept in the bed, 🛌, and met new friends. She loves Laura and said she wants to go back❣️ So, it appears we will be returning clients - if She will have us🦮🐕🐕‍🦺🐩🐶

I genuinely cannot recommend McKinley enough! She is the sweetest, kindest, and most thoughtful sitter I could have ever asked for. From the moment I dropped Hamilton off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such amazing hands. She sent me daily photos and checked in throughout the day with updates on everything he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’ve honestly never seen Hamilton happier. He looked so comfortable, loved, and genuinely excited to be there, I think he was actually a little sad to leave, lol. It was so obvious that McKinley treated him like he was her own, and that meant the world to me. If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your pet, keep you updated, and go above and beyond, McKinley is the person to book. I would trust her with Hamilton again in a heartbeat and will absolutely be using her in the future. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone looking for the best possible care for their pet!

Salma sent great pictures, thoughtfully washed out the cats’ dishes every day, navigated our annoying litter robot, and helped put all three of our cats at ease. She is great!

About: Hey cat parents! I'm totally comfortable with cats and love spending time with them. 🐱 I grew up in a house full of both dogs and cats, so I'm used to all kinds of feline personalities — from the cuddly lap cats to the curious zoom-around-the-house types. Whether you need overnight house sitting, daily drop-ins, feeding, litter box care, or just some playtime and affection while you're away, I've got you covered. Living in my 10-story NW DC apartment building, I'm often the first person neighbors call when their cats need reliable care. As a recently retired Special Education teacher, I'm patient, responsible, and great at giving each cat the calm, attentive attention they deserve. Your kitty will be in safe, loving hands with me!

Caring for a rescued cat has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to earn the trust of shy or anxious cats. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I always strive to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and cared

About: I've taken care of animals my whole life and, more recently, I was a dog sitter for a very rambunctious puppy for several months. I also cared for my late dog well into her teens, so I am very comfortable looking after elderly animals. Oh, and I'm not just a dog person! I routinely look after my sister's cat. I work part-time, often during odd hours in the evenings, so I have plenty of availability during regular 9-to-5 hours! I also have a very flexible schedule and can usually work something out. Every animal is different! Providing care to an animal will look very different depending on the animal's age, health, or personality/temperament. I'm always happy to accomdate!

McKinley was amazing. Our dog had a wonderful time, and was well taken care of. She communicated throughout the day, provided photos and gave our dog the attention he needed throughout the day.

Mac has been an absolute lifesaver! I had to return to the office for 5 days for the first time since I got my dog, Ham, and let's just say he's a little clingy. A lot clingy. Mac has been able to give Ham all the love and attention he needs, and I know Ham loves it at Mac's by how excited he gets when we turn the corner to Mac's street each morning. I am so relieved that I found someone who loves Ham as much as I do. Mac is really the best.

About: I am a pet lover. I grew up in a home with many pets including dogs and cats and have always had a special connection to animals. I love going on long walks and heading to the dog park when the weather is nice. I am here to help you care for your pet the best way possible. I'll always listen to special instructions and will show your pet the love and attention as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and am able to do "drop-in visits" and "rover now" walks during most week days when many walkers are unavailable. I am in the office two days a week, Tuesdays and a flex day. I can't wait to meet your fur baby! **I cannot accept pets that get into plants as I have a few not pet safe plants at home** **For house sitting you must be ok with my dog Buddy coming with me and staying at your house as well.** I work from home 3 days a week and am home most weekends! I too Iove middle of the day walks and all day hangs! I am in a pet friendly building that is super close to Rock Creek for longer walks. My home is child free, and smoke free. I do have a senior beagle mix I adopted from a family member who could not bring him with for an overseas move who is a full time pet at the home.

About: I have been a volunteer at the Humane Rescue Alliance for the past 3 years. I am the person that talks to all animals, flowers, plants etc. My two pups were rescues, there human had died. I saw them on Facebook, went to the petstore and came home with two papilions! They were 8 & 9 years old, the littiest things. My heart! They lived the best life up until the day they left us. After that I started at the shelter helping everyone else get the same chance. I have learned so much about behavior and care. I am trained in all departments except the spay and neuter. I am also 1/2 way complete Fearless Shelter Training Cert, this is what staff recieve for cats and dogs. I am currently looking for a job and volunteering with the Humane Rescue Alliance and the American Red Cross. I would love to have a pet, but I know I can't commit to one at the moment, so I enjoy helping care for animals whenever possible. My schedule is flexible. I live in a secure condo building with a large private patio and easy access to a shaded grassy area. I am just a few blocks from Rock Creek Park and Pierce Mill, so there are plenty of places to enjoy the outdoors. I will be the one caring for your pet. Your pet will have my full attention while staying with me.

About: I've always loved being around dogs, and spending time with them is honestly one of my favorite ways to unwind. While I can't have a dog of my own right now because I live in an apartment, pet sitting lets me get my dog fix while helping owners feel confident their pets are in good hands. I've cared for dogs during extended stays and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I'm someone who is naturally responsible, patient, and detail-oriented, so I take the time to learn each dog's routine and make sure they're happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I'll treat your dog the same way I'd want someone to treat my own—with lots of attention, affection, and care. As a graduate student preparing for law school, I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and take responsibilities seriously. While apartment living isn't the right environment for me to have a dog of my own right now, pet sitting gives me the opportunity to spend time doing something I genuinely enjoy while providing owners with peace of mind. I'll care for your dog with the same attention and love I would give my own. Pet care fits really well into my schedule! I currently work part-time and will be starting the final semester of my master's program in September. Since my classes are all in the evenings, I have lots of availability during weekday mornings and afternoons, as well as most weekends. I have the flexibility to give your pet the time, attention, and care they deserve instead of trying to squeeze them into a busy schedule. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I always follow your instructions closely, whether that's feeding times, walks, medications, or little routines that help your dog feel comfortable while you're away. I've cared for a dog that required daily medication, so I understand how important it is to pay attention to details and stick to a schedule. Whether we're out on a walk or spending time at home, your dog's safety and well-being will always come first. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and as relaxed as possible while giving you complete peace of mind. When caring for pets in your home, I treat both your home and your dog with respect, keeping their environment clean, secure, and as close to their normal routine as possible. During walks, I prioritize safety by keeping dogs leashed, staying aware of our surroundings, and making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. My goal is for every pet to feel comfortable and every owner to feel confident that their dog is in caring, dependable hands.

About: I'm not just another dog walker or pet sitter — I'm your reliable neighborhood neighbor who’s already the go-to person in my 10-story NW DC apartment building for everything from quick walks to overnight stays (and yes, I handle both dogs and cats with ease!). What really makes me different is my background as a recently retired Special Education teacher. That means I bring serious patience, structure, and a knack for reading behavior to every pet I care for. Whether it’s helping a energetic young pup learn polite leash manners, crate training basics, or simple commands during our walks and playtime — or giving gentle, attentive care to senior dogs and cats who need slower paces, extra cuddles, or help with mobility and medication — I’m genuinely good at meeting each pet exactly where they are. I grew up with dogs and cats, so I’m comfortable with all personalities and ages. I focus on making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away — with consistent routines, plenty of affection, and that extra layer of responsibility that comes from years of working with kids who needed thoughtful, individualized support. In short: You get a sitter who’s dependable, experienced with all life stages of pets, and truly enjoys the work. Your furry (or not-so-furry) family member will get the kind of calm, attentive care that makes coming home even sweeter. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine! Since I’m recently retired, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I live right in a 10-story apartment building in NW DC, so I’m already here and can easily pop down for midday walks, quick drop-ins, or overnight stays without any commute hassle. A typical week for me includes several regular dog walks and cat visits for neighbors in the building. I genuinely enjoy starting my day with a good walk or ending it with some playtime and cuddles. It keeps me active, social, and smiling — plus it gives me that wonderful sense of responsibility I loved from my teaching days. Whether it’s a quick 30-minute walk around the neighborhood, a full night of house sitting, or daily check-ins while you’re traveling, fitting pet care into my schedule is easy and something I truly look forward to. I’m available most days and evenings, and I’m happy to work around your needs! I provide all pet care in your home only, so your pets stay in their familiar environment where they feel safest and most comfortable. For dogs, I will only consider bringing them to my house on very rare occasions — and only after I’ve gotten to know the dog well and we both agree it’s the right fit. All cat care happens exclusively in your home. In your home, I follow your exact routines for feeding, walks (for dogs), playtime, litter box care, medications, and more. I’m very mindful about safety: keeping doors and windows locked, using secure leashes when needed, and treating your space with complete respect. As a retired Special Education teacher, I’m patient, observant, and highly responsible. I treat every pet and every home with the care they deserve. You can trust that your furry family member will be in safe, loving hands.

Salma responded to my short-notice request quickly, which I greatly appreciated as it was for only a few days of dog-walking. I'd had some surgery on my leg and it was difficult to walk for the first few days. Salma came three times daily and was very kind and patient with my elderly dog.

About: I've taken care of animals my whole life and, more recently, I was a dog sitter for a very rambunctious puppy for several months. I also cared for my late dog well into her teens, so I am very comfortable looking after elderly animals. Oh, and I'm not just a dog person! I routinely look after my sister's cat. I work part-time, often during odd hours in the evenings, so I have plenty of availability during regular 9-to-5 hours! I also have a very flexible schedule and can usually work something out. Every animal is different! Providing care to an animal will look very different depending on the animal's age, health, or personality/temperament. I'm always happy to accomdate!

About: I love dogs and cats, and miss my own pets as I’m away from home. So I would love to help take care of your pets when you need an extra hand! My availability is during weekends for drop-ins/walks, but can be flexible for days. I can’t wait to hear more about your pet, just reach out! I work full-time, so I am mostly free on weekends. That can be any time on the weekend, and if needed, can try for weekdays after work. For drop-ins, I will play with your pets and brush them if they enjoy that! And for dogs, would love them to take them for a stroll so we can both get our steps in!

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

I genuinely cannot recommend McKinley enough! She is the sweetest, kindest, and most thoughtful sitter I could have ever asked for. From the moment I dropped Hamilton off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such amazing hands. She sent me daily photos and checked in throughout the day with updates on everything he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’ve honestly never seen Hamilton happier. He looked so comfortable, loved, and genuinely excited to be there, I think he was actually a little sad to leave, lol. It was so obvious that McKinley treated him like he was her own, and that meant the world to me. If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your pet, keep you updated, and go above and beyond, McKinley is the person to book. I would trust her with Hamilton again in a heartbeat and will absolutely be using her in the future. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone looking for the best possible care for their pet!

Rodrigo did a great job taking care of my sweet Frenchie, Bella. He sent me daily pictures and made sure to listen carefully to my care instructions. His own dog, Luna, was a great playmate to Bella and she came home happy and exhausted. I'd definitely use Rodrigo again!

Matthew treated our pups like they were his own. They were super happy and very well taken care of. Fantastic communication. Easy going and easy to work with. My pups already want to go back. Thanks for the fantastic experience!

Haydenn was super responsive and wonderful with our 10 year old dog, Fern. We had to make a change in our plans at the last minute, and he was very accommodating. We would definitely use him again in the future!

Harley was so happy to go back to Jennifer and her wonderful family for a long weekend. He gets showered with love by Jennifer, her sweet daughter Ramsey, and Grandmom Anne! I’m so happy he gets a happy easy-going doggy friend in Khali, and experience with Pursey the cat. It’s so nice knowing that he is so beautifully cared for. Jennifer was extra kind this time, giving him medicine and more walks since he couldn’t run around her spacious front yard due to a healing injury. We love getting updates and adorable pictures throughout his time there. I’m not sure Harley really wanted to leave!

Johanna is absolutely wonderful! Our sweet Millie has some extra needs and Johanna was so understanding and went above and beyond to make Millie comfortable in her home. We are so grateful to have found a reliable, kind, and understanding sitter!

Max was an amazing sitter for my dog, Kali! Kali had been spayed a week prior to her 4 day stay with Max, and had already ripped her stitches open once, so it was critical that Max made sure she stayed safe and kept her cone on. Max was unbelievably attentive and did an excellent job with her! He sent multiple updates with photos each day, had extra treats and toys for her, took her on multiple walks per day, and even did some basic training with her to make sure she could be left home by herself for brief periods. I would not hesitate to book Max again!

Katherin is the absolute best!!!! She went absolutely above and beyond caring for Hugo. She took him on lots of fun adventures everyday, including to nearby coffee shops, dog parks, and long walks to Georgetown. She also attended to an unexpected medical need and sent detailed updates everyday, which gave me such peace of mind. Thank you Katherin, Hugo was so lucky to have such a fun vacation with you!

I am so grateful to have found Rachel! She was so wonderful to work with, and our pup Daisy clearly loved staying with her. She sent pictures and updates throughout our trip and we knew Daisy was well-taken care of while we were gone.
