“This was our first time leaving our kitten alone and we were a little nervous but Hannah was so great! Both the cats loved her and she did a great job playing with the. and cuddling them and gave us detailed updates and lots of pictures. We came home to two happy cats and I'm sure they will be excited to see her again!”
“I wish I could award 6 stars. Honestly, Allison went above and beyond with our little Cudi. We were nervous about leaving our cat alone for a week for the first time ever. Allison is by far the best catsitter anyone could ask for! She’s absolutely the person you want looking after your pets. I was so impressed with Allison’s continuous contact, detailed daily cards, and so many adorable pictures and videos! She went beyond the call of duty by helping with a litter snafu by improvising with an ice cream container. Cudi was so happy playing with Allison and it was great knowing that she was being so well taken care of. If you want someone who will love your kitty as much as you do, she’s the one you want! :)”
“Katharine took great care of my cat for two weeks! My cat is shy and stubborn and Katharine was extremely patient with him. She made sure he was pampered and not lonely while I was away. I look forward to working with her again! Thanks Katharine!”
“Gregory was fantastic! My cats both have some special needs, and he handled everything very well. This was my first time using a pet sitter since one cat was diagnoses with diabetes, and Gregory made the process as easy as possible (even when my cat did not). Communication was excellent, and his genuine care for cats was clear.”
“Thomas was an excellent cat sitter for our two crazy kitties. Nyx is an older girl and Goldie is a kitten. They are still learning to get along, but Thomas was super receptive, responsible, and understanding. It was clear that he put time and attention into taking care of our cats. Thank you, Thomas!”
“Taylor takes very good care of my cat Ziggy. He enjoys his playtime and treats when Taylor drops by. Highly recommend Taylor if you are looking for a responsible sitter for your fur baby.”
“Caris is amazing! This is the second or third time we’ve had her check in on our two kitties, and we will certainly be reaching out next time we are out of town! She provides thorough updates and great photos. Our girls love her!”
“She is a phenomenal pet sitter and has worked with us navigating technology and our grumpy old man kitten. Lovely person and was detailed, understanding and helpful from the jump. Thank you!”

“I was very pleased and grateful for Suvon’s care for my puppy, Cooper. It was very easy to arrange date and time, Suvon was very prompt and clearly explained what Cooper needs to bring and what I can expect while Cooper’s there (which were all amazing!). Suvon kept me posted very frequently with how Cooper’s doing and sent me amazing photos (ummmm... like studio quality with gorgeous backgrounds). Looks like Cooper had a great time, he came back home and is sleeping like a baby.”
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.
“Thank you so much again for watching my baby 🐶. I will definitely book him again. My baby was very tired, which was a good thing. She got home and ate and went right to sleep.”
“Matthew was great watching my pup Willa for a last minute doggy day care! He was kind and welcoming during the meet and greet and during her stay, and sent pictures throughout the day to keep me updated. Willa snuggled right up to them for some naps, which is always a sign she feels comfortable, safe, and happy. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”
“Adriana has been an amazing sitter for Rosie! Rosie is always excited to see her, which gives me peace of mind whenever I leave her in Adriana’s care. She is responsible, reliable, and incredibly accommodating, and I always know Rosie will be well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“Jack was fantastic!! He took great care of our 8-month-old puppy. He took her on lots of walks, taught her a new trick, and sent us regular photo and text updates. I would use him again in a heartbeat. Our dog was happy and tired when she came home!”
“Once again, Christian knocked it out of the park! Jo Jo and Corduroy were thrilled to learn they were going back to their friend’s house today and they can’t wait to go back. Thank you for your excellent care today, Christian!”
“Roshni took very good care of our dog, who is pretty shy and anxious. Roshni asked great questions about our dog that demonstrated that she is knowledgeable and empathetic about caring for animals. Questions like checking for allergies, confirming emergency vet info, ask about pet preferences, checking for triggers, etc. She was very patient and upbeat as I shared about our dogs less charming quirks. She sent updates and pictures throughout. It was clear our dog was in good company and I was able to focus on my own day without worrying about our high maintenance dog. Will definitely book Roshni again!”
About: I’ve had my own fur and feather babies all my life and taken care of many breeds of dogs, cats, birds (Conures, Lorikeets, Parakeets & Caiques to name a few), And I have been a pet foster home caregiver for over 10 years. I currently walk and board animals in my home, specializing in 1-on-1 care. I have work from home flexibility and I have dedicated hours for spending time with your fur baby if you need pet boarding. I accommodate my schedule to adapt to your pets normal home walking, activity & feeding schedule. Overnight stays include two walks per day, one in the morning and one before bed. Any additional walks are 20$. I provide reliable and loving boarding for cats, dogs, parrots, pocket pets & exotics. I also offer flexible drop off and pickup times. I’m located near Takoma Metro. My home is a low-stress, quiet sanctuary for all pets, especially shy or senior pets. I have experience with dogs, cats, parrots, exotics & pocket pets. I will walk your dog in my neighborhood or to the nearby park. I have a nice yard in which your dog can enjoy fresh air and exercise. I love spending time outdoors while walking dogs! Cats: I am with your cat during the day & set aside play time with them so they can chase ribbons, be rubbed or cuddled. Parrots: I spend quality time with your birds and allow them window space to see the outside world. I only board one animal at a time- unless they are from the same household, ensuring your pet receives quality care. My husband and daughter also assist with the care of your pet. This ensures that they are always cared for and supervised.
“We’ve had June watch our puppy for many months now and I can’t believe I haven’t sung her praises until now. June has been the best dog sitter and 3rd parent to our dog! She’s communicative, helpful and as a new puppy parent, very helpful in reinforcing training (we think she’s better behaved at Junes!).”

“We hired Rachel to walk our dog for the first time this week, and we couldn’t be happier with how it went. From our initial communication, she was highly professional, punctual, and very attentive to our pup’s routine and needs. She made the whole process seamless. Rachel also shared an update and photos after the walk. Our dog came home happy, well-exercised, and completely relaxed. It’s clear she has a natural way with animals and genuinely cares about our precious angel. We will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog walker!”

“Anne was a life saver for me and Ghost. I was in a pinch looking for someone to take care of Ghost for the two days I had an in-office training and Anne was super communicative and even did a meet and greet for us. The hour long walks helped break up a lonely day for Ghost and eased my anxiety about leaving him home alone.”

Thomas is a consummate professional, from diligence with all my requests to even thinking proactively about the weather. He is truly a wizard at capturing action shots, too! His detailed descriptions of the walk and fun pictures are such a ray of sunshine to receive in the middle of my work day. My Dane has some dog reactivity and I am grateful for Thomas’s ability to work around his needs. Thomas has been walking him for two weeks now and I will happily keep booking him for as long as I can.”
