Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!

Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.

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!

Plus I could tell Watson had a great time and got along super well with the lovely Luna. I have actually already booked again as I knew Watson is in good hands. Thanks Rodrigo!!

Gatsby has the best time playing with other dogs, sunbathing on Supon’s porch, and going on long walks. Supon provides excellent communication, and we love the pictures throughout the stay.

I’m so glad I randomly found Emily’s profile! My cat is going through chemo + has asthma, and finding a sitter who’s not just able but also enthusiastic to care for him can be tough because of how anxiety-inducing it is to leave him! Emily’s check-ins were great, her responsiveness and awareness of his health a solid 10/10, and the photos she sent were adorable. She did great at pilling him, giving him his inhaler, and even cleaning up after him when he had GI issues - the apartment looked just the way we left it when we came back! :) She also went above and beyond when it came to monitoring Bobby’s cancer/treatment symptoms, and reached out instantly if anything concerning ever popped up. You can really tell she loves cats, and it shows in how she cared for Bobby. I’ll definitely be reaching out the next time we need a sitter, and I’d recommend her to anyone who wants to leave their baby in good hands.

Luxe, who usually sticks to the bed, actually spent his time waiting on the couch to greet Maria the moment she walked in. It was so heartening to hear how Luxe followed her around and how much they bonded on the couch together. We are so pleased with the care Maria provided!

About: I am pursuing my masters and have daily availability, I would love to spend time with your fur baby. I have experience caring for both independent and highly social cats. During drop-in visits, my routine includes thorough litter box scooping, refreshing food/water bowls, and interactive playtime or quiet companionship depending on your cat's mood. I often turn on the tv with a sleep timer for some background noise, which can help with loneliness and calm stress when there are noises outside. Please let me know about any quirks or needs your cat has. I cannot book any cats that display aggressive behaviour.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, ranging from small breeds to large breeds, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Over the years, I’ve also cared for dogs belonging to friends and family, gaining experience with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and providing attentive companionship while owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, active play, or simply having someone around to keep them company, I’ll make sure they receive the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while your pet is in my care. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I can accommodate a variety of routines and schedules. Whether your pet needs regular exercise, playtime, companionship, or simply someone to keep them company, I can provide attentive and reliable care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs to ensure they receive the best possible care. I follow all owner instructions carefully and provide a calm, attentive environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I understand the trust involved in caring for someone else’s pet and will treat your dog with the same care, patience, and affection I would give my own. Regular updates and photos are always available so you can feel confident while you’re away.

About: My husband Galen and I have both had dogs since we were in our teens. We are both experienced in caring and loving for our pups. As a couple we have owned pets together for 13 years. We are a US Air Force Family and have been stationed in DC for the past six years. We love how the community is a dog centric town!! Galen is full remote, meaning your pup will never be alone. We currently have a bulldog named Burrito. Our miniature american eskimo named Mojo unfortunately crossed the rainbow bridge in December 2024. I love our dogs so much I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your BFF to a stranger. I promise I’ll provide your pet the love and attention they want or need as if they were my own. My husband is full remote and I unfortunately am back in the office full time. Galen will be home with the pups all day. I do an early morning walk and an after work walk while he does multiple midday walks. In the evenings we both are able to take the pups on long walks. We monitor any bones given and are in close proximity during feeding time. We also continuously reinforce good behaviors by pets, praise, and treats if you allow. We only accept one dog at a time. Pups are allowed on the couch. Bundy Dog Park is across the street, if you allow for additional exercise. Your dog will receive lots of pets, praise and love while in our home!

About: I have grown up around animals and have years of experience caring for a variety of breeds and temperaments. Whether it’s high-energy puppies who need a long walk or senior dogs who just want a quiet companion, I pride myself on being attentive to their specific needs. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, basic grooming, and ensuring every pet feels safe and loved while their owners are away. As a university student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of quality time to your pets. I am primarily available for boarding on weekends and have open availability on weekday afternoons after 2:00 PM. My routine allows for consistent potty breaks, midday play sessions, and plenty of evening attention to keep your pet happy and engaged Safety is my top priority. When pets are in my care, I maintain a clean, hazard-free environment and always follow the owner’s specific instructions regarding exercise and diet. For home visits, I am extremely respectful of your space and keep a close eye on your pet at all times. I am happy to provide regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your 'fur baby' is in good hands.

About: I grew up with cats and have grown to love dogs. I had my own cat for 13 years before he passed over the Rainbow Bridge. I love to care for my friends' pets! But with an open home, I'm ready to treat your best friend like my new best friend! I've taken care of cats and dogs extensively throughout my life including providing medication at regular intervals. I've also looked after snakes, turtles, and geckos, but I don't have any equipment to house them. But I love all animals whether fuzzy, furry, or scaly! I live in downtown DC in an apartment building close to several parks. I have a hybrid office job but live a short walk away from my office, so it's easy for me to swing back home whenever is necessary. I regularly catsit and dogsit for friends, but currently don't have any pets of my own. I respect animals autonomy, but always prefer to play, cuddle, or walk with the pets. They'll have full access to my apartment. They're welcome on furniture and if they prefer to hang out solo, that's okay, too. They'll still get the same love and attention, just from a few feet away.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and was actively involved in their daily care, from walks and playtime to feeding, grooming, and providing companionship. I also have experience caring for senior and ill dogs, including administering medications, monitoring health needs, and adapting routines to keep them comfortable and happy. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I spent time volunteering with dog adoption and rescue organizations, helping care for dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. Being around dogs has always been one of my favorite things, and even now I'm usually the first person on the floor playing with friends' and family members' dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your pup loves long walks, energetic play sessions, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive attentive, reliable care and plenty of affection while you're away. I am most available on weekends, but I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate weekday bookings as well. Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make sure every pet in my care receives plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I provide a safe, comfortable, and attentive environment for every pet in my care. I live in a spacious apartment with easy access to parks and outdoor spaces for walks, exercise, and playtime. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding routines, feeding, medications, and any special needs. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to maintain their normal routine and make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.

I work remotely and am available to house sit and do walks/drop ins if you live in Shaw. I am excited to talk and learn more about your animals! Please see the pet care experience section.

About: I grew up in a two-dog household my whole life, so caring for dogs from a young age has always been a part of my daily routine. I have been away from home for nearly 5 years now, spending the last four at college, and now obtaining a masters degree here in D.C. I genuinely miss having dogs apart of my daily life, and always finding myself asking the recurring question of 'may I pet your dog'. Growing in a more rural area, I truly understand the dopamine that animals obtain from the ability to go outside or play. Living a more active lifestyle, from a young age I understood the necessity for dogs to have that too. I have spent numerous years, typically around the holiday season, petsitting and dog walking for friends and family. I am currently looking for part/full time positions, most likely within the food industry. Currently I am able to commit to pet care at any point throughout the morning, day, and evening, with the exception of nights. I have experience from raising a puppy to taking care of older dogs, and everything in between. I am comfortable with crating a dog, cleaning up after messes, walking, and playing.

About: Hi! I'm Krista and I genuinely love spending time with dogs and have lots of experience taking care of them. I recently said goodbye to my sweet and quirky 12‑year‑old German Shepherd. Caring for her throughout the years has given me experience with all the different stages from energetic pups to the oldies with mobility challenges and slower routines. My shepherd struggled with anxiety around other dogs, so I’m very familiar with reading body language, creating safe distance, and keeping walks calm and controlled. Throughout the years, I have cared for and spent ample time with doggos belonging to friends and family members and look forward to the opportunity to give others peace of mind when they need to leave their loved ones. Lots of walks, pets, play time and of course, photos/videos for owners! I work from home so there are lots of opportunities to go outside. There are a few parks nearby and lots of grassy areas. I also have dog beds, dishes and plenty of toys! Please note, my building unfortunately has restrictions on the following dog breeds: Akita, Alaskan Malamutes, Chow Chow, Doberman Pinscher, Malamute, Pit Bull Breeds, Presa Canarios, Rottweiler, Staffordshire Terrier and Wolf Dogs. I live in a condo building but there's lots of areas outside to venture around! I do own a crate if needed/preferred. I will bring your dog on many walks and ensure they have lots of play time (for the youngins) and rest (for the oldies) :)

Amanda and her wife are the absolute best. Our boy Jackson is a bit chaotic and we’ve struggled to find a pet sitter that’s a good fit. We are so lucky and grateful to have found Amanda, who fully embraces Jackson and cares for him like her own. Highly recommend!

Lucy and I had a great experience with Evan and his wife! This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little nervous, but Evan sent me updates with pictures frequently, giving me peace of mind that Lucy was in good hands! I highly recommend Evan for dog sitting and will definitely book him again!

About: I am a true Capitol Hill dog lover and I have always had a strong passion for animals, mostly for dogs. I have been caring for dogs since I was child, taking care of my mother’s beloved shitzu. Taking care of her helped me acquire basic canine behavior and taught me the responsibility of taking care of a pet. Most recently I raised my own best friend, Gelato an English Bulldog. I gained my breeder experience with Gelato and cared for her and her 6 puppies, until they were rehomed at 8 months. I enjoy taking long walks, which I consider the ultimate stress reliever and best way to exercise. I have no problem getting my hands dirty. I have 20 years of experience in the customer service field and enjoy striving to provide the best experience to my clients. In my personal time I am spending time with my 2 little girls teaching them how to play sports, and of course how to be loving pet owners. Thank you for taking the time to visit my page! I’m currently working part time and will be available to walk most pets during early mornings hours during the week and mid day and evenings during the weekend. I definitely would like to know your pets temperament, and what might scare them. I know they will feel most comfortable at home but if they are with me, I’d like to keep a calm, pet friendly setting for them to be comfortable in.

Staying with Elizabeth was a wonderful experience for us and our pups. She is responsive, friendly, and chill—what our pups needed. A great experience overall.
