Casey is extremely thoughtful and attentive to details, and even has now built with our dogs their own routine that put the dogs at ease and peace. Thank you thank you thank you.”

“Brooklynn and Adam are amazing!! My dog is anxious and leash reactive, but he had no problems staying with Brooklynn. She made sure to walk him in quiet areas during less busy times, and her home is quiet and peaceful, which I'm sure helped Monty a ton. She had no problem giving him two different medications every morning, and he got so much love all weekend. We got so many pictures of Monty snuggling with Brooklynn and Adam - so cute! It was like he went to the spa for the weekend - we would love for her to watch Monty again!”

About: Hi! I’m Jenny, a nursing student and lifelong animal lover. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including my own senior husky, so I understand how important patience, attention, and a comfortable routine can be for every pet.

I spend a lot of time studying, so I love having a furry study buddy nearby to keep me company. I’m happy to take study breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and plenty of attention. Having pets around makes my day better, and I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and included in my routine.

I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of walks or playtime, and of course lots of attention and cuddles if they enjoy that! I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have, whether that’s medications, crate routines, potty schedules, or certain behaviors to watch for. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I’m a great sitter because animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve had the joy of raising dogs from puppies to adulthood, including a mini-poodle named Mikey, who was a cherished part of our family for 11 years. Currently, I have a 2-year-old cat named Cash and a 1.5-year-old dog named Jax. My care also extends to parakeets, other small birds, hamsters, and fish. Additionally, I have always found myself being a sitter for the pets of my relatives and I am currently fostering 2 cats. I have experience with nursing pets back to health after surgeries. I’m currently working part-time, so I have time to hang with the fur-babies! On weekdays, my afternoons are free, I do not work on Friday and Saturdays, and every night is available for possible boarders, as I am home. When caring for pets I prioritize their health, comfort, and emotional well-being. I ensure they’re well-fed by preparing and cooking their food according to their specific dietary needs. If a pet is unwell, I take the time to nurse them back to health with close attention and gentle care. I am also the person that takes my pets to their vet appointments. I also make sure they feel loved and secure by spending quality time with them—petting, cuddling, and playing—tailored to their personality and preferences. Each pet is treated like family, with patience, compassion, and responsibility at the heart of everything I do.
“Ange was so wonderful with Zazu! Super punctual and communicative. Zazu was so excited to see Ange day two of being minded as she clearly treated him so well. Couldn't recommend Ange more highly and I will definitely request Ange's skills and talents again.”
About: I'm tidy and a non-smoker. I have held several continuous pet sitting jobs over the past 20 years. I grew up with an 100 lb black lab/hound mix and more recently, a 6lb Yorkie that lives with my family in the DC area. Being a pet sitter before, I have experience caring for all various sizes and behaviors. I find it's best to care for them in their home environment where they are most comfortable and I can also help bring in the mail, water plants, etc. I’m also happy to board at my home. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pets! Feel free to ask any questions! I work from home and like to mimic the exact routine set by owners. I go on walks around the city daily whether with a cup of coffee in hand in the mornings or evening post work stroll so easily take dogs along on those walks. I ask that owners leave detailed instructions on behavior, feeding and, overall care routine. Please also be available via text in case of any questions. Please ensure all instructions are clear. Thank you!
About: What sets me apart is my genuine commitment to the well-being of every pet and my ability to adapt to their individual needs, treating them as if they were part of my own family. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs and cats. With puppies, I help reinforce basic training routines such as potty training, leash walking, and early obedience, always using patience and positive reinforcement. With senior pets, I am especially attentive to their pace, mobility, diet, and medication if needed, providing them with calm, consistent, and gentle care. In addition, I am very observant of animal behavior, which allows me to quickly notice any changes in their mood or health. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and accompanied at all times, while maintaining clear and consistent communication with their owners. More than just pet care, I offer trust, affection, and responsibility. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to caring for pets during the day. I can easily adapt to each pet’s needs, whether it’s visits, walks, or in-home care. I am mainly available on weekdays and can also plan for weekends with advance notice. When caring for pets in my home or in the owner’s home, I make sure to carefully follow all instructions. I maintain their feeding, walking, and rest routines, and provide attention, affection, and a calm environment. I am very mindful of their safety, cleanliness, and well-being, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for at all times.
About: I have always loved dogs and always wanted to be able to help any dog that I can. I'v always have had a dog since I was a baby so I know the care and love they need to be given on a daily bases. Animals mean a lot to me especially dogs and I would never do anything to put them in harms way. Dogs make our life happy so we should be able to make their life just as happy with the short amount of time they are able to spend with us. They should have a fulfilled life just like we do! I have been around all types of dogs in my life and I love every type of dog their is. I am currently home Monday-Fridays and will be available for dog walking, home visits, and boarding. I will also be available some weekends for pet care. I have a fenced in smaller yard and a big park a short walk away for good exercise. I also have a good size apartment where pets can have some space to walk around I can also host a crate if preferred.

About: I have taken care of multiple dogs and cats throughout my life. I am a huge animal person. My family always has said I have a special bond with animals they always love me! I’d love to watch your pets during my time off! I am very consistent, timely and respectful.

I will listen to any reccomendations or specifications from their parents to best support and comfort them on their days alone.
“Great walkers :)) so friendly and accommodating. I appreciate when a walker does their best to do long distance walks in 30 minutes. In a dream world, I’d love to pay for an hour but just can’t afford it right now, so having a walker that is putting in the effort, means so much. Nothing better than a tired dog!”
“Tommy takes fantastic care of my dog during their daily walks! It’s great knowing my pup is in good hands, and Tommy always provides photos and updates. I highly recommend booking with this sitter!”

“Nancy stepped in with short notice to cover for my usual dog walker. She was very responsive and even made time for a meet and greet with my pup before the scheduled week of dog walking. She checked in daily, sent pics and was super detailed in her describing her outings and play with my good boy. I highly recommend Nancy and will definitely be booking with her again.”

About: ***I am only able to house sit during the day, not available overnight*** I have had a family dog in my life ever since I was born. My first dog lived to be 15 and he lost the ability to use his legs around the age of 9. We took care of him by giving him medication, carrying him in and outside of the house, and even purchasing a wheelchair for him to be able to go on walks again. I was 16 when this was happening and played a huge role in taking care of him. We had another dog throughout this time and were responsible for feeding, bathing, and walking both dogs. I now have one dog who I walk regularly and take on hikes. I have dog-sat for both neighbors' and family's dogs and cats since I was 15. I am currently starting a part-time position and will have more available during weekdays to spend time with your sweet pets! I tend to have few obligations on the weekends, as well. I have two friendly dogs who live at my house, one that I just adopted as my own puppy to take care. We have a very large yard that he runs around in with an electric fence. However, we do have a long run that is tied to a tree in the middle of my yard. I would prefer to take care of pets in my clients' homes in order to make the pet and owners feel the safest.
“Jasmine was great! She was very attentive to Theo and made sure to carry him up and down the stairs to avoid injury, gave him his food and washed his paws after the walk. I highly recommend Jasmine as a dogwalker! I will be requesting another dog walk from her soon.”
“Mary was so great with our dog! She had good communication, took her on nice walks, and took very cute pictures of her! She definitely went above and beyond to make sure Lonnie was comfortable and feeling okay!”
About: Hi - My name is Sarah, and I am a life-long dog and cat owner who can't wait to meet your fur baby! Dogs have always had a particularly special place in my heart; when I was a kid, I knew the names of every dog in my childhood neighborhood. I have experience walking, playing, feeding, and doing some light grooming of dogs since I was twelve years old. I have experience playing with, feeding, and doing some light grooming of cats since about the same time. I have also owned mice and hamsters at various points throughout my life. I have a gentle demeanor that makes animals naturally trust me. I am just as happy to be playful or cuddle on the couch with a pet, and I am naturally cautious, making sure to build trust with pets so they can get to know and feel comfortable with me. I look forward to caring for your pets!! I am an educator who is off for the summer, so my week day availability is very open until the end of August. After August, I will still be available nights and weekends. I will work with the safety measures you have in place at your home. I will keep a watchful eye on your pets inside and outside. I have experience crating dogs and can do that if necessary. I will also make sure leashes and harnesses fit well and are not frayed or torn.
About: Hi, my name is Richard. I grew up taking care of my family’s pets, I love all types of animals but cats and dogs hold a special place in my heart and being around animals has always been second nature to me. I took a break from Rover this past year while I moved and focused on work, but I’m fully back now with an open to give your pets my full attention. I currently work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. That means I can give your pet the time, attention, and consistency they need throughout the day. I believe each animal deserves their own personal care and routine, whether it’s walks, playtime, or just relaxing together. With me, your pet will always feel safe, loved, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. I have a flexible career working from home. This means I’m always around to give pets the attention they need, whether that’s a morning walk, midday playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left waiting for care. I build my schedule around making sure they feel happy and comfortable. I will care for your pet like it is my own. Whether it is in my home or yours I will ensure that they are comfortable, well loved, fed and played with.
About: I have been a pet sitter for a couple years! Also, I have volunteered and interned at a veterinary hospital these experiences helped me become more informed on pet care.

I have experience administering meds orally if needed as my fur baby takes medication 3 times a day. I currently work full time but I am free after 4pm on weekdays and free all day on weekends. I work from home on Monday’s and Friday’s so I can spend all day with your fur baby! My home is an ideal space for any fur baby whether they need lots of space to play or a quiet place to unwind. This is a child free and smoke free home.
“Very happy with Norman’s stay. Dan has a sweet dog of his own that Norman for along with. They went in a nice walk up to Blue Hills for some outside time. Great communication to let me know everything was going well.”
“Easy location, great communication, surprisingly great pictures! I came home to a happy, relaxed and healthy pup and appreciated helpful updates without over messaging. Also very flexible when travel plans changed drop off times. Will definitely book again!”
“My dog Tayto loves going to stay with Jason and Noah! He is clearly so happy and comfortable there that he runs to their door when we arrive. Jason sends the best photos and videos throughout his stay. Tayto can’t wait until next time!”
“Emmy had such a wonderful stay with Sonia! Sonia took great care of her, gave her lots of love and attention, and kept us updated while we were away. It was clear that Emmy was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Sonia was kind, reliable, and genuinely loves dogs. We would absolutely trust Sonia with Emmy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter!”
“Wonderful experience. Sarah took in our two pups on a last minute booking for the weekend, made sure she had all the details about their care, and sent pictures of how well they were doing. We were confident they were in good hands.”
“Isabella is amazing at taking care of Marvin and Mellow. We shared our concerns when it came to us being nervous but she gave us loads of reassurance and kept us up to date. This was our second time with her, and she was great! No complaints.”
