“Gisel and her family took great care of Ace for an entire week. She communicated daily with chats, photos and videos of my little fur baby. She really treated him like her own and I definitely am coming back to her again. I HIGHLY recommend her!”
“These people are the real deal. They took such great care of my old man. Very communicative with daily picture updates about what he was up to and were quick to get my input on some irritation they noticed on one of his paws. Highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again!”
“Tarina did an excellent job keeping my boy happy. He got all the snuggles he wanted and appeared to get all the play he wanted. He was throughly exhausted from a perfect weekend while I was away. Definitely recommend Tarina and will be using her again if need be!!!”
“Paris is a delightful young lady, sweet and accommodating. Paris sent me pictures and updates a couple of times everyday. I really appreciated that because my little dog is used to getting a lot of attention and being cuddled at home. I will definitely be taking my dog back again.”
“Lucky had a great time with Max and Thomas. He enjoyed playing in the backyard and all the pets. Thank you and I'll definitely rebook again. I appreciate the prompt replies to my texts.”
“Brittany’s home is an oasis for dogs. Our girls loved chilling out in their big fenced in yard which they could sunbath or hide out under the shade trees especially the beautifully willow. Brittany is very responsive and without a doubt a true dog and animal lover. Trust that this would be a great place for your furry friends.”
“Barbra is a wonderful pet sitter. She's always kind and understanding, always happy to accommodate our schedule and takes excellent care of Charlie! He needs a bit of reassurance and she makes him feel loved and safe when we're away!”
“This was my first time using Rover but now won’t be the last! Briana & Isaiah took great care of my pup for a weekend with overnight boarding. They asked questions and took notes of any special requests. She got plenty of play time and walks with the kids and other dogs, and I was sent some pictures and updates throughout the weekend.”
“Gus had a great stay! He came home happy and healthy. I felt very comfortable with Jill and her family. Very very nice folks. Gus warmed up quickly. Jill kept me updated with pictures and messages. And they were very accommodating of my strange schedule. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again and I highly recommend them.”
“He did amazing with Thor .He took him on amazing potty breaks and play time .He supported him well as he was recovering from being neutered and needed medicine and a blocking pillow.He sent updates daily with pictures.Definitely recommend.”
“McDuff stayed with Karen for 9 days. We received regular updates and reports on how he was adjusting to his surroundings. While we were gone, Karen sent photos and video showing McDuff’s interactions with other dogs at her home. She bathed him as he got really muddy while he stayed with her. When we picked him up, he was happy and content—glad to see us, but also he was still full of play with his new friends. Highly recommend!”
“My dog Eyore stayed with Pearl Fri thru Mon and she took excellent care of him. She provided daily updates with pictures, so we were never nervous or worried about him. She also allowed him to sleep on her bed like he does at home, so he was right at home away from home. She honored our feeding requests and asked about types of snacks before providing them. Overall she was very attentive and took very good care of him. I couldn’t have asked or received better care on such short notice?! I found a sitter late Friday and left on Saturday morning?! I love this website!! It was a very quick, and user friendly website! I put out several requests and had replies within 2-7 minutes?! That was AWESOME!! I’ve already started telling friends and family about the website! I am sooo excited!”
“I am extremely pleased with the care provided. She was an excellent caregiver, very attentive to my pet and treated her with the same love and kindness I would. I will definitely choose her services again. Her customer service and dedication were outstanding.”
“Tammy is the absolute best! She boarded my dog at her house while I was on vacation and made the whole experience stress free. She sent daily updates and was so incredibly sweet. Sandy was very happy when i picked her up!”
“Our trip was a bit last-minute and still up-in-the-air, but Justin and Stephanie were very flexible with us! They welcomed our dogs into their home and treated them like their own. They sent updates and pictures daily (actually, multiple times a day!), and they made sure our dogs had a good stay. Our dogs came home happy and themselves, unlike our one and only experience with a kennel that left one of our dogs traumatized for weeks. The whole process was smooth and easy, and we will definitely be using them again when we go out of town!”
“Theresa was great with my pet, Bruno. I was given updates daily & photos. This was his first time away from home so I was very nervous but she made me feel so comfortable, she is very confident with dogs and has a beautiful yard! Bruno made friends and was so happy. Would definitely book again. She’s the best! Thank you Theresa, Bruno hopes to join daycare”
“Kayla was great and was able to accommodate me and my dog on very short notice. She’s incredibly caring and was great with updating me during my boarding time. Will definitely use her services again.”

About: I have lots of compassion when it comes to animals, and I have years of experience working for cat/dog rescues as well as pet transports, I currently have a four day weekend at my current job and have way too much free time! I also have no problem with early mornings or late nights! I have two small dogs that I take for a couple walks a day, and I Help prepare their food which is home made and all natural. I also have a cat with urinary tract issues so I’m used to keeping their litter boxes spotless.

About: I grew up with cats in the home and cat sitting was my very first job. I love cats and they will always hold a special place in my life. I have a kitty of my own (pictured here) and can’t wait to meet yours!
About: I have been around animals my whole life; owning, house sitting, and walking. I have pet sat all different ages of animals, mainly dogs, since I was young. I am a very active person! I’m currently an assistant basketball coach. While I am busy during the days, I do have a lunch break to give your animal love. But after the day, my time is spent with your pet giving them all the love and exercise they need! The pet(s) are the main priority, so their needs with be met swiftly. I also maintain a very organized, clean area that I stay in.
About: I’ve been dog walking and sitting for neighbors since I was 12 years old. I’ve dog sat multiple types of dogs. I’ve done dog walking, check-in & potty break visits, and I’ve stayed at a clients home for long periods of time (5+ days) to be with their pups. I’ve also been tasked with administering insulin shots to dogs before. And I have a lot of experience with dogs that have anxiety, whether with new people, thunderstorms, or anything else, as I have one myself and a long remaining client of mine does as well. I’ve always loved dogs, having grown up having 2 smaller dogs myself. I am hoping to do pet sitting as a new permanent business, so I will have nothing but time to look after your pets! I will schedule out days and time periods based on client necessity and to provide the optimal care for your pets. Because I have two dogs myself, one of which has severe people and other animal anxiety, which for the safety of your pets and mine means I am unable to bring any pets into my home as of current. However, I’ve stayed at the homes of clients before to be with their pups while they’re away. I feed them every morning and night or make sure the food bowl is full depending on how the client feeds their dogs. I give them any medicine or joint tablets that they need to be well. I let them out multiple times a day whenever they need it. And I try to play with and pet them as much as I can while I’m there so they don’t miss their humans too much. I will even take them on a walk if allowed.

“Jen is absolutely the BEST petsitter you will ever experience. My cat is very high maintenance with her attitude and her massive hair (forest cat). Upon my arrival home kitty was calm, very content , and had an extensive grooming! My home was exceptionally clean with the removal of litter and cat food cans. Jen met me before the sitting dates and she was extremely knowledgeable . She has tons of common sense--- You will not need to give her pages of instruction. She GETS IT ! In addition, my plants were watered during this 94 degree weather , mail was placed neatly inside, and trash cans were taken to the curb . Photos are sent to you at each visit. Love Jen to take care of my cat.”

During our absence, she checked in at our agreed upon times and sent lovely pictures at each check-in. It was such a comfort to know my fur babies were cared for so lovingly. Will not hesitate to call on her again.”
About: Hi! I'm Jordan, a lifelong animal lover with a special appreciation for cats and their unique personalities.

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Briana, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From our first interaction, it was clear that she had a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of dog care. Briana took the time to get to know my dogs' personalities, habits, and specific needs, which put me at ease right away. During the time I was away, she provided regular updates and adorable photos, which reassured me that my pups were in great hands. Thank you Briana”

About: I grew up on a farm in Maryland and were around animals daily! My business is financially affordable and will give you peace of mind that your pet or pets will be taken care of when you are not at home. I’am not working anywhere else at this time and have the time to love and care for customer’s pets. I will follow all my customers instructions to ensure their pets safety and general well being. Sorry I don’t watch pets in my home. I feel your pets are more comfortable in their own homes. Pets feel more relaxed in their own environment.
About: I grew up with dogs and have always considered them part of the family. Until last year, I cared for my own dog, Tank, who passed away at 14. Caring for him through his senior years taught me the value of patience, close observation, and keeping a pet’s routine as comfortable and consistent as possible. Tank occasionally had seizures, which gave me firsthand experience remaining calm, reducing stimulation, helping keep a dog safe from injury, and closely monitoring them while following an owner’s or veterinarian’s instructions. I understand that every pet has their own needs, personality, routines, and comfort level. I’ve also dog sat for family members and truly enjoy making sure their pets receive dependable care, affection, exercise, and companionship while they are away. I’m detail-oriented and will follow your instructions closely. Feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and house rules to favorite toys, training cues, and any special needs, your pet will feel safe, loved, and cared for in your absence. I work part-time as a caregiver for a person with a disability, a role that has strengthened my patience, reliability, and attention to individual routines and needs. Because my schedule is flexible, I can accommodate a wide range of pet-care routines, visit times, and scheduling needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I focus on keeping their routine safe, comfortable, and as familiar as possible. At my home, I have a yard available for regular bathroom breaks and a small park nearby for daily walks, exercise, and fresh air. I do not have any pets living with me full-time. From time to time, I care for my mother’s friendly French Bulldog, Vinny, who enjoys being around other dogs. I will always communicate in advance if another dog may be present and will make sure introductions are handled slowly, safely, and according to your pet’s comfort level. In a client’s home, I will follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medications, house rules, and any special routines or needs. My goal is to provide dependable, detail-oriented care that helps your pet feel secure and well cared for while you are away.
About: I genuinely love animals. I grew up with two dogs and a cat. I’ve watched over other family dogs and cats for weeks and even months at a time. I work at most 6 hour shifts per day and 4 days per week so I have plenty of free time for play, walking and cuddles. I currently live with one pup who I walk daily before work and we love going on hikes or to the lake on a nice day
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have six years of pet care experience. As a Biology Pre-Med student at Howard University, I balance my passion for science with my love for animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets, including puppies and senior dogs. I provide attentive care, ensuring pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away ☺️❤️ As a student at Howard University, my school schedule keeps me busy, but I have plenty of time for pet care! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays Mondays and Tuesdays from 8am-4pm and open Fridays. Making sure your pets receive the attention and exercise they need. I have a spacious home, perfect for dog sitting, with plenty of room for pets to play and feel comfortable. I’m also open to dog sitting in clients’ homes if preferred.

“Brittany’s home is an oasis for dogs. Our girls loved chilling out in their big fenced in yard which they could sunbath or hide out under the shade trees especially the beautifully willow. Brittany is very responsive and without a doubt a true dog and animal lover. Trust that this would be a great place for your furry friends.”
“This was my first time using Rover but now won’t be the last! Briana & Isaiah took great care of my pup for a weekend with overnight boarding. They asked questions and took notes of any special requests. She got plenty of play time and walks with the kids and other dogs, and I was sent some pictures and updates throughout the weekend.”
“Gus had a great stay! He came home happy and healthy. I felt very comfortable with Jill and her family. Very very nice folks. Gus warmed up quickly. Jill kept me updated with pictures and messages. And they were very accommodating of my strange schedule. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again and I highly recommend them.”
“He did amazing with Thor .He took him on amazing potty breaks and play time .He supported him well as he was recovering from being neutered and needed medicine and a blocking pillow.He sent updates daily with pictures.Definitely recommend.”
“McDuff stayed with Karen for 9 days. We received regular updates and reports on how he was adjusting to his surroundings. While we were gone, Karen sent photos and video showing McDuff’s interactions with other dogs at her home. She bathed him as he got really muddy while he stayed with her. When we picked him up, he was happy and content—glad to see us, but also he was still full of play with his new friends. Highly recommend!”
“My dog Eyore stayed with Pearl Fri thru Mon and she took excellent care of him. She provided daily updates with pictures, so we were never nervous or worried about him. She also allowed him to sleep on her bed like he does at home, so he was right at home away from home. She honored our feeding requests and asked about types of snacks before providing them. Overall she was very attentive and took very good care of him. I couldn’t have asked or received better care on such short notice?! I found a sitter late Friday and left on Saturday morning?! I love this website!! It was a very quick, and user friendly website! I put out several requests and had replies within 2-7 minutes?! That was AWESOME!! I’ve already started telling friends and family about the website! I am sooo excited!”
“Tammy is the absolute best! She boarded my dog at her house while I was on vacation and made the whole experience stress free. She sent daily updates and was so incredibly sweet. Sandy was very happy when i picked her up!”
“Our trip was a bit last-minute and still up-in-the-air, but Justin and Stephanie were very flexible with us! They welcomed our dogs into their home and treated them like their own. They sent updates and pictures daily (actually, multiple times a day!), and they made sure our dogs had a good stay. Our dogs came home happy and themselves, unlike our one and only experience with a kennel that left one of our dogs traumatized for weeks. The whole process was smooth and easy, and we will definitely be using them again when we go out of town!”
“Kayla was great and was able to accommodate me and my dog on very short notice. She’s incredibly caring and was great with updating me during my boarding time. Will definitely use her services again.”
“I am again very pleased with the care Shiloh gets during her stay with Melanie (and her family). Photos and communication is great and allows me to enjoy my time away. If I need a sitter for puppy camp again I will definitely be rebooking with Melanie”
“Elizabeth took great care of my dog. She gave lots of updates and was a pleasure to work with. My dog loves her and seemed so happy while she boarded with her.”
“Laura was a fantastic dog sitter! She was flexible with scheduling pick up/drop off, sent an update with a photo, and our pup seemed to have a great time with her. We will definitely use her services again!”
