“Ms. Shunita did a great job with Rocko! 🐾 We were very pleased with her services and hope to use her again! She had a space for Rocko and a small storage for all the of the things we brought for him! Lol.

“They were absolutely amazing with my dog, Charlie. From the moment we dropped him off, they were kind, patient, and super understanding. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. Charlie was comfortable with them and that gave me a lot of peace of mind. They kept me updated and were very attentive to his needs. I’m really grateful for how well they treated him and I would 100% trust them again. Highly recommend!”
“Incredible! Jen was so great with our little guy and we could tell he had a great time! She provided us with a lot of peace of mind and worked with us when we ended our trip early for the winter storm. Thanks Jen!”
About: Hi! My name is Emm! I am a queer and queer-friendly person and active in my community. I have taken care of animals since I was 8. I raised puppies, walked massive dobermans, and at one point took care of 13 dogs at once! Feeding, watering, cleaning up after, walking, and loving your pet like you would are my top priorities. I lived with my father after becoming an adult and took care of his cat. Animals of all kinds are fine by me! I'm available at any time! When I am not working, I spend my time with my partner, listen to music, and practice my culinary skills. If I stay at your home, I will respect your pets and your things like you're my family. Your pets will be pampered and well cared for. I'll take great care of them, and give them plenty of love and attention.
“Eliane was amazing!!! She made us feel so comfortable and provided regular updates with great photos. She took our dog on long walks and spent quality time with her throughout our trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our dog!”
“I felt so comfortable knowing that Megan was caring for my girls while we were on vacation! We even had some cute pics to enjoy showing that they were having a great time.”
“Ciara was the BEST. She sent pictures of my fur baby Louie daily as well as a little message to tell me how he was doing. Louie is an 11 month old Aussiepoo with tons of energy, and Ciara and her fur baby made sure to tire him out everyday. Would recommend her 100% every time.”
“We’ve used Julie twice now and she is nothing short of amazing. Our little girl loves it there and I know she is well taken care of. Julie is super easy to communicate with and very responsive! If you are looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter, book her now!”
“We have a rescue dog who is very timid and takes a while to warm up to people. Sharon did an AMAZING job with him and made him feel right at home. She gave his medication without issue, and provided us lots of updates throughout our trip. She took the best care of our little guy and we are thrilled to have found her. Highly recommend! Thank you, Sharon!!”
“Lisi took excellent care of senior dog. We had plenty of updates where she looked very comfortable and it seemed like she was really loved on during her stay. She came back happy and acting like her normal self. I would recommend Lisi!”
About: I set my own schedule at work, so I am able to be flexible for quick pop-ins or long walks to care for the needs of your dog. I love to run, so if you have a high-energy dog, consider physical and mental exhaustion a check for the day. Currently, my favorite walking paths are around Cherokee Park and Senaca Park! Mornings before 10 am and evenings at 8 are ideal! I usually work between 11-7 Monday-Thursdays, but often have gaps in my schedule. Fridays and Saturdays are very flexible! I take physical exercise and playtime with the utmost seriousness. Mealtimes are consistent and treats are a must! If I am in a dog’s home, they will feel loved and prioritized.

“Didn't even think to ask for pictures but she took multiple good ones which is always good for reassurance. It was my first time using her and rover but will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Donai was exceptional! I knew when she came to meet Alice and Hank and she got on the floor to meet them, and asked for some treats to win them over, that she had already won over my approval. She gave me daily updates and daily pictures. It made me so happy on my trip to both see them, and also see that they were being well cared for and loved. Would definitely book Donai again!!”

“Max is awesome. Kept me informed daily of Etta’s day. He clearly loves dogs!! He is gentle and kind to my baby. She liked him right away. He even wrote a poem about her!! Just loved everything about this experience 💕”
“Jon inspires trust with his calm and gentle manner and great communication, and my two-year-old pup Edison immediately took to him. He had a great doggy day and we look forward to his future day and overnight visits with his new human pal. Thank you Jon!”
“I cant say enough good about Catherine. She is extremely professional and she has a true passion and love for dogs. And it shows. I had a vet appointment set for Willow that I needed to reschedule and Catherine offered to take her! That to me is just awesome. Catherine really is great at what she does and I would not hesitate to use her again.”
About: Hi! I cannot wait to get to know your pet! Learning their routines, behaviors, and boundaries helps me ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Making sure you return to exercised, well behaved, and happy pets is the always the priority. During inclement weather, I provide safe outdoor potty breaks, with indoor play like puzzles and scavenger hunts. Ensuring they're still getting to work out their energy and your money is well spent. I'm happy to help figure out which service is best for you and your pet. Please reach out with any questions. And I'm happy to set up a meet and greet so that I'm available to help out at a moments notice. I make my living providing pet care and housekeeping. Remember sleep away camp when you were a kid? Or that one really cool babysitter? That's what your pet's time with me will be like. Your vacation is also their vacation. Whether at your home or my own, walks, or drop-in visits, I provide regular updates and so many cute photos to help assure that they're in good hands. My home has a large, fenced in backyard for all the desired romps and squirrel chasing. I live in a beautiful, easily walkable neighborhood; which is great for multiple daily adventures, stopping to smell all the smells and learn safe social skills. Whether at my home or your own, I'd like to know what your pet's current routines are, and any anxieties you or they might have. I appreciate the trust and responsibility I've been given while taking care of your loved ones and home.

About: I’ve always been the one friends and family when they need someone to love and care for their pets—and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Spending time with animals is something that genuinely makes me happy. I currently don’t have a dog of my own, which means I have plenty of extra love, attention, and energy to give to yours.

About: Hi! I'm Haylie, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes. I'm based near Florida Ave NE in Washington, D.C., and I proudly serve clients across the DMV including Southeast D.C., Navy Yard, Capitol Hill, NE/SE neighborhoods, and parts of Maryland and Northern Virginia. I grew up surrounded by pets especially dogs and was always the one helping walk, feed, bathe, and care for them. I’ve even assisted dogs and cats during births when I was younger, which gave me deep insight into caring for animals at all life stages. Whether your pet needs a brisk walk, quiet cuddle time, medication, or just dependable daily visits, I’m here to help with care that’s loving, professional, and tailored to your routine. I'm comfortable with: ✔️ Dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes ✔️ Senior pets or those with special medical needs ✔️ Puppies and high-energy pets ✔️ Flexible scheduling and last-minute bookings when available Let’s make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! Pet care is an important part of my daily life. Living near Florida Ave NE, I’m often out walking dogs in Navy Yard or stopping by for quick visits around Capitol Hill and SE D.C. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and flexible with last-minute requests. Caring for dogs and cats isn’t just part of my routine, it shapes it. I love giving pets one-on-one attention and helping busy owners in the DMV feel at ease. I take pet safety and trust seriously, whether caring for pets in your home or mine. I follow all instructions closely, keep spaces clean and secure, and ensure your pet feels comfortable. On walks, I avoid crowded areas and match your dog’s pace. Pets staying with me enjoy a calm, pet-friendly environment. I provide regular updates so you feel connected and confident while you're away.
“Rachel helped me out big time by taking my dog last minute after a cancellation. She responded promptly even though it was very late in the evening. She sent numerous photos to let me know my dog was in good hands. Will book again in the future.”
About: My house is practically a zoo! I have had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. I currently am a pet parent to my dog Ollie and cat Billie. I am the person my friends go to whenever they need a pet sitter! I am currently a teacher on summer break! So I have plenty of time to play and love on your pets. Guaranteed outside time at least every four hours. I own my own house with a large backyard! My dog loves to play with others and they can become best friends while playing outside.
“Kimba had a great time with Kaitlyn. She took great care of Kimba and sent pictures throughout the day. Kaitlyn is very responsive and makes me feel at ease. Kimba has a lot of separation anxiety and it was clear from the photos and when we picked her up that she’d had a great day. I know Kimba was in good hands with Kaitlyn. I’d use her again next time we are in town.”
About: For the past three years, I've provided dog and house sitting services for families through personal referrals. Caring for someone's pet means caring for a member of their family, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I love pups. I love getting to know each dog's unique personality, energy level, and routine. Whether a dog enjoys long walks, active playtime, quiet companionship, or plenty of affection, I adapt my care to their individual needs. I have experience caring for dogs in their own homes and maintaining their normal schedules so they feel comfortable and secure. In addition to my dog-sitting experience, I volunteered at a dog shelter on the Greek island of Andros, where I helped care for 26 dogs of different ages and temperaments. I have a flexible schedule these days, I currently work remotely so I can spend plenty of time with your pet, adapt to their routine and provide them with consistent care and attention. I am available for daytime visits, overnight stays, weekends, and extended pet-sitting arrangements. Safety and trust are top priorities for me. I make sure dogs are securely leashed on walks, supervise their outdoor time, and pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels. I keep owners updated with regular messages and photos so they can feel confident that their pet is well cared for. When staying in a client's home, I treat both the home and the pet with respect. My goal is to maintaining the dogs' routines and environment to help them feel safe, relaxed, and loved.
“Christina was incredibly accommodating, and took excellent care of Lillian, who was a little stressed over being someplace new for the first time. Wish I lived in the area so I could book her again; Christina was excellent and communicates well (and sent photos during the stay, which was a bonus!)”
“Such a relief to find a home where my dog is taken care of so well. Myrna is an expert at all things dog and was very patient with my anxious pup and she had a new friend by the end of the day. Thanks again.”

“Tara was wonderful!! I loved her updates while I was out of town for work. She was very communicative and quick to respond. I will certainly have her walk the pups again in the future!”
“Olivia was tasked with visiting and walking our dog while we were on vacation. She was consistently on time, extremely good with communication and obviously has a lot of passion for animals and this shows in the care that she provided for our dog Raya. It made our vacation much more relaxing knowing Olivia was checking in on her. We will book her again for sure!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was ten years old! Between looking after my own dog and my family's, I have the experience and love to make sure your furry friend gets the attention they deserve! I'm a middle school teacher in the Louisville area, so weekends are the best for house sitting and longer watching periods! During the weekday afternoons, I would love to help check in, play with your pup, or give them a nice long walk! Communication is the most important thing. I will always follow the wishes of the owner to make sure your pets are cared for in the most consistent way possible. Your boundaries are mine, and I always act in the best interest of you and your pets!
“Emily was very conscientious about filling in her ROVER card, taking photos and filling me in with details. I could tell she really cares about my pet. I will definitely use her again!”
“Magdalana has been great with my dog, Bella. She promptly responds to messages and is very flexible with scheduling. I feel comfortable with her in my house, walking my dog, and providing optimal care for my pup. 10/10 would recommend.”
About: I have over 7 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—from small breed seniors to high-energy breeds. Jinger (My own pup) is a 6-year-old Female Malinois-Lab mix, so I’m especially familiar with energetic dogs who need structure, attention, and enrichment to thrive. Over the years, I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, rescues, and dogs with unique needs—including leash reactivity, anxiety, and medical routines. The wonderful folks at Southside pet shop had taught me Animal Husbandry by the book (literally). During my time there I had taken care of a wide variety of pets in a professional setting. I comfortable caring cats, and exotic pets too- I am more than at home in a multi-pet household. I ALWAYS approach every pet with patience and empathy. I understand that every animal is different, so I change my care-style (never quality!) to match their needs—whether that’s a long walk, playtime, cuddles or medical needs. If you need drop-in visits, house sitting, or just someone to give your dog an afternoon potty break, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, understood, and loved. You can expect daily updates and plenty of photos, Rest assured! Pet sitting is my full-time profession and passion, alongside my work as a freelance artist. I have professional experience in animal husbandry; I’m able to provide attentive, reliable care. I enjoy doing both traditional and digital art; my favorite are pet portraits! If there is downtime while I am petsitting, I’m usually doing art! In both my own home and when caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the owners instructions, because I understand this routine is in place to keep them comfortable, and healthy. This includes using toys, treats and games to make their day rewarding and fun. Maintaining a clean environment is a top priority; food and water bowls are washed regularly and I always make sure each pet is fed according to their specified guidelines.
About: I absolutely love animals and have my whole life. I just know my last words are going to be "pst pst...come here buddy" as I walk up to a big cat or something. I have had pets ever since I was little and have always considered them apart of my family. I have experience with the care of cats & dogs and I would be delighted to care for your fur baby! Currently this is my full time gig, so I am available for walks and check ins all through the day. I can also do overnight stays with your fur baby (in your home only). I am available to take walk doggos during the day/evening and even do some check ins to make sure they have all they need. Overnights will be in your home so your fur baby is in a familiar environment that they are comfy in.
About: I'm a freelance artist and mostly work from my laptop, which allows me to hang out with your pet(s) pretty much the entire time. We'll cuddle, and go on walks, and play outside, and I'll give them lots of loving pets. I will also send you frequent photos of them, since I know how stressful it can be to leave them in someone else's care. For me, dog sitting is more than just making some extra money...it's therapy. I am unable to have a dog of my own at this time so I am looking for some dog friends who will help to fill that void. I have yet to meet a dog I didn't like (even the crazy ones), so I'm sure your pet and I will get along swimmingly. I mostly work from home so I will be with your dog most, if not all of the time. I especially love longer stays, but open to just about any length of time. Lots of pets and cuddles! I love taking them on walks, or just hanging out in my fenced backyard. I live near Iroquois park, so that’s also a favorite activity.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been pet sitting dogs and cats since my early teens. I have experience caring for pets of all ages and medical needs, including diabetic dogs requiring insulin injections, blind dogs, pets with seizures, and dogs with mobility and potty issues. I’m comfortable administering medications and providing extra patience and attention to senior pets or those needing specialized care. I’ve also fostered dogs and cats through my local shelter, caring for everything from puppies and kittens learning the ropes to senior dogs needing diapers and additional support. My experience fostering has helped me become adaptable, calm, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I currently have two dogs of my own, Murphy and Lucky, they are my whole heart and I love every pet I care as if they were part of my family. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work overnight shifts from 9pm–5am, Monday-Friday, which gives me a flexible daytime schedule. I’m able to adjust my sleep schedule as needed, so I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, medication administration, playtime, and overnight care. In my home, I do my best to create a safe and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed, cared for, and entertained. I have a fully fenced-in yard that backs up to a park, which gives dogs plenty of space for supervised outdoor time, play, and exercise. I also have a separate guest room available if an owner prefers their pet to have their own quiet space during their stay with us. I understand that every pet has different routines and comfort levels, so I try to keep their schedule as consistent as possible with feeding times, potty breaks, walks, medications, playtime, and rest. I’m happy to accommodate senior pets, puppies, and pets with medical or mobility needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they feel comfortable in their familiar environment while keeping up with their normal routine and giving them plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I always treat both pets and homes with respect and care, and I know how important communication and reliability are while you’re away from your pets. I love to send parent’s updates on their babies and we can work out details on how frequently you would like pictures sent!
About: I am experienced with dogs of all sizes and cats! I love animals & all their quirks! I have a dog as well as two cats. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I am currently working from home so I am open to care for your pet in any way they need! Whether they are big, small, chill, or active. I have a large fenced in yard and a very friendly pup to keep your fur babies company. I believe positive reinforcement is the only productive way to interact with animals.
About: I have years of experience taking care of both dogs and cats, and with housesitting as well. I am able to help support animals who have health concerns, special needs, and anxiety. I can administer medication and give shots as well. I have a senior kitty and an adult age cat myself, so plenty of experience with senior care. And I have experience with dogs of all ages, including puppies and seniors. I am happy to work with any owner to accommodate their pets needs and make them feel comfortable while they are away. I am have nearly full availability the next couple of months, so please reach out and I should be able to accommodate any time frame. I will abide by all house and property rules for the animals safety which includes leashes, fences, walking paths. I am happy to work with owners on what they are most comfortable with. I do not bring pets inside my home as my cats are usually not friendly to that! But I am always happy to stay at others homes.
About: I've been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember! Ever since I was a child, I've had a very strong connection with the furry friends around me! I always take the extra time to learn as much as I can about a pet's habits, likes/dislikes, etc. It's my personal goal to make the world a better place for every person (and pet) around me :) My schedule is currently wide open, so I can work with almost any time frame that works for you! I am looking to make animal care my full time career! At my own home, I have a fenced-in yard and a very loving and playful canine companion who is always ready to meet new friends! I have a wealth of experience when it comes to helping animals feel safe and secure.
About: I have had fur babies all my life. From puppy stage to senior care. They are truly part of the family. I look forwards to loving on yours I have the please of working from home, fitting your pet into my daily routine would be identical to how I am able to send time with my own. I have a huge fenced in yard. I have one fur baby he is a bernedoodle who is turning two at the end of this year. He gets along great with other dogs and enjoys the company. So I am able to provide each pet with the love they need I have very limited space on how many dogs I will keep at once. If your pet enjoys walks, we will go on walks, enjoy fetch in the backyard, we will play fetch in the back yard. Your pet is part of my family once you guys enter my home. I do have children who love to run around with animals also.

I raised puppies, walked massive dobermans, and at one point took care of 13 dogs at once! Feeding, watering, cleaning up after, walking, and loving your pet like you would are my top priorities. I lived with my father after becoming an adult and took care of his cat. Animals of all kinds are fine by me! I'm available at any time! When I am not working, I spend my time with my partner, listen to music, and practice my culinary skills. If I stay at your home, I will respect your pets and your things like you're my family. Your pets will be pampered and well cared for. I'll take great care of them, and give them plenty of love and attention.
“Eliane was amazing!!! She made us feel so comfortable and provided regular updates with great photos. She took our dog on long walks and spent quality time with her throughout our trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our dog!”
“I felt so comfortable knowing that Megan was caring for my girls while we were on vacation! We even had some cute pics to enjoy showing that they were having a great time.”
“Lisi took excellent care of senior dog. We had plenty of updates where she looked very comfortable and it seemed like she was really loved on during her stay. She came back happy and acting like her normal self. I would recommend Lisi!”
“Sometimes it's hard to really know if someone is a dog lover, but not Stephanie. It's obvious from the get-go that dogs are a part of her life. Meeting her for the first time, we knew our Maggie was in the right hands. She's attentive, sent us pictures and videos of Mags while we were on vacation, loving, and updated us as she cared for her. She's on our short list for regulars now. Definitely recommend!”
“Melody was awesome !!! She kept in contact throughout the day also kept me up to date on everything that was going on with my fur baby . I definitely look forward to booking again !”
“Valerie is awesome. One of our pups was getting over a stomach bug and she put us at ease during pick up about handling meds and monitoring progress. Our dogs loved her and became quick besties with her. I would book again without hesitation.”
“I can't thank Missy enough for her help with the pups! They adore her and I'll be using her for the rest of my time here in Indiana. I've booked with her several times and highly recommend her. She was flexible with the drop off/pick up times, great with communication, and I can tell my pups love her and Willie <3”
“Grace was great at communicating. She provided photos and updates during our pup’s stay. I’m sure he would love to stay with her again in the future! We’ll definitely reach out next time we need a dog sitter.”
“She did an amazing job and kept in contact with me throughout the weekend, Sent plenty of photos and even taught him a new trick. Will definitely be asking her to watch him again.”
