We received updates, photos, and could clearly tell Archie was being well cared for and comfortable during his stay. Archie came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It’s obvious Sabrina genuinely care about the pets she watched and take the responsibility seriously.

I would absolutely book again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter for their pet.”

I would absolutely recommend your services to others looking for a trustworthy caretaker for their pets.”

About: My love of dogs began when my mom got a puppy when I was in sixth grade. Now I am a dog mom. I've been the proud mom of a Boston Terrier/Frenchie mix for the past 4 years. I've raised her since she was 3 months old, through potty training, puppy training and intermediate training. I'd love to care for your fur baby too. I'm at home during the day and available to drop in/ walk your fur baby. I am available in the mornings and in the afternoon. I have an unfenced end unit townhouse. There is grass on the side of my house and plenty of unfenced grass in my townhome community. I work from home almost every day of the week so I will have time to take care of your baby during the weekday. I'm able to get out and walk dogs on the weekends. I have an unfenced yard and a fenced play area in front of my house. I have a friendly fur baby who likes to play and thinks she's the leader of the pack.

She has been a great communicator, took pictures of my dog and some of those are my favorites of my doggo right now, and when she thought my dog might have an injury she let me know to call to see what I felt the next steps were.

I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies (dogs) of my own who are friendly and can keep your fur baby company. I am use to watching other people’s fur babies in a 24 hour care setting.

“I highly recommend Mickela for your pet sitting needs. She was able to fill a super last min need for drop-ins on my two kitties while I was away for a few days. She responded quickly and was able to meet me at short notice. She was very sweet and the boys took to her immediately. She was great about cleaning up their messes (including a puke surprise left by one of them lol). This was the first time I booked a sitter to do daily drop-ins and I’m so glad I reached out to Mickela. She was such a huge help. 🤗”

She was extremely communicative, sent plenty of photos and updates, and made it easy to feel confident that they were well cared for while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Bessie and will definitely use her again!”
About: If anyone knows a cat it’s me. A year hasn’t gone by where I haven’t had my cats by my side To cleaning them, play time and potty training I have clear understanding of what they need and want. I love cats more than anything and only wish them the longest and happiest life they can imagine.
About: I have experience caring for both adult cats and kittens. I owned two cats and helped care for my female cat throughout her pregnancy, labor, and recovery while also raising her three kittens from birth until they were rehomed. This gave me hands-on experience with newborn kitten care, monitoring growth and development, feeding, cleaning, socialization, and creating a safe environment for both mother and babies. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level, whether they’re playful, independent, shy, or affectionate. I provide patient, attentive care and will treat your cat like one of my own while keeping you updated with photos and messages.
About: I've always had a special connection with cats, as they tend to gravitate towards me even when they're shy. As someone who embodies black cat energy I understand trust is earned, not forced. I respect every cat's boundaries, letting them set the pace. My job is to provide a calm, low-stress environment where they can feel safe and cozy. Whether your cat wants to play, cuddle, or just lounge in the sun, I'm happy to meet them where they are.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and it ignited my passion to become a veterinarian—something I’m currently diving into with excitement!

I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member(s)! I have a flexible schedule (work from home) that allows me to provide reliable and attentive care for pets throughout the week.

I’m respectful of each home and prioritize communication with regular updates, photos, and check-ins. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or sitting, my goal is to make sure every pet feels happy, cared for, and stress-free.

She was very attentive to his needs. Milan enjoyed walks, plenty of attention, and a warm, welcoming environment. Thank you so much!”
“I appreciate all of Denisha’s efforts to try to accommodate my dog’s needs. It did not turn out working out but that’s due to my dog’s own personal special needs and needing more individualized special care. Denisha was very patient and honest during my dog’s care. Some sitters do it for the financial gain but I could really tell that Denisha genuinely cares for the dogs that she sits. She was responsive and provided frequent updates/pictures. I really am thankful that she cared about my dog’s comfort and tried to accommodate her needs. I would definitely recommend Denisha!”

Having Diego as a sitter has provided me with peace of mind knowing my dog is getting great, attentive care and I no longer feel the guilt of having to leave him alone for hours. I highly recommend Diego - you won’t be disappointed!!”

As long as Anthony is available, we definitely plan on making this a long term situation.”
About: Hi! We are Lauren and Tinoi, two passionate and dependable pet lovers who believes every pet deserves to feel safe, happy, and loved even when you’re away. We’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years, and at one point were the fur parents of a total of 9 dogs at once, so we're very comfortable managing multiple pets, different personalities, and varying energy levels. Our love for animals runs deep, and our (well Lauren's lol) long term dream is to retire on a few acres of land where we can rescue and care for as many dogs as possible. With us, your pet will get more than just the basics. We provide attentive care, fun walks, and plenty of affection to make sure their routine stays consistent and stress free. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship, we tailor our care to your pet’s unique needs and personality.

You can count on us to treat your pet like my own, with patience, kindness, and lots of love 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine! Lauren works remotely from home and has a very flexible schedule, which allows her to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, not just during quick check-ins.

About: I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog's individual needs, whether they enjoy long walks, lots of playtime, or simply relaxing with companionship.

I enjoy being active, so regular walks and outdoor time are something I genuinely look forward to. Whether it's a quick drop-in visit, a daily walk, or overnight care, I make it a priority to provide dependable, loving care while keeping your pet's routine as consistent as possible.

About: I had a dog named Buddy that I loved deeply for 16 years. Buddy passed away two years ago and it has been difficult moving on without him.I am looking for opportunities to dogsit for companionship and an excuse to be more active. I have dogsat for family many times and have experience caring for a range of ages and breeds. I am most familiar with caring for senior dogs. I work fully remote and will be able to be with your baby throughout the day. Please consider me you new sitter! Pet care fits into my daily routine, since I work from home, I’m able to take care of the dog during the day and night. I typically wake up pretty early and keep a regimented schedule throughout the day. I make sure the dog is walked. I make sure that I spend a little time playing with them if they’re older dogs and I spend a little time rubbing them or petting them. Some dogs don’t like all of that so you really have to pay attention to what type of dog you’re getting. Luckily I love all dogs so it’s all fun for me.

“Tameka and her daughter Maddy, were one of the best hosts that we have had. Zeeba was a little nervous but they were patient and let warm up to them. Tameka helped me Out when I needed to be resting instead of walking. Zeeba got lots of treats and pets. We will use them again”

About: What sets me apart is the lifelong experience and genuine love I have for animals. I grew up with dogs for most of my life and had the opportunity to care for and dog-sit my own dog, Angel, who was a very special part of my family. Although Angel passed away last year and I haven’t had a dog of my own since, caring for her gave me years of firsthand experience understanding a dog’s needs, personality, routines, and the importance of patience and companionship. I’m also a proud cat mom to two cats, Daisy and Tulip, who I’ve cared for over the past three years. My experience with them has taught me just how different every animal can be and how important it is to respect their individual personalities, routines, and comfort levels. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, feeding, cuddles, companionship, or simply someone patient and dependable while you’re away, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every pet as an individual and would give them the same patience, attention, and affection I would want for my own pets. I work from home, so I am able to walk dogs everyday when I am able to move from my computer after completing my task. My home is available to all furry animals. My apartment complex are pet friendly and has a dog park in the area where I am able to allow them to play and have fun!
About: Since growing up at a young age, I’ve always had a pet by my side and now that I love daily unconditionally. If there is one thing I can teach them is to get along with others animals as well as people. My patience and understanding will keep them thriving and healthy. I only want to give them more than they need. I am available 5 days of the week to care for your pet, including the weekend if needed! After all, someone has to be there for them. No pet under my supervision has ever been in harms way. I have a big cage with food and water. Pet toys, cleaning supplies, and pet proof items to keep them safe.
“Tia is awesome with Ziggy. In just 1 week, Ziggy has gotten used to her coming through the door. And sits and waits for her. This has been a lifesaver for us. We will continue to have Tia around as long as she will have us.”

About: Hi, I have had a lot of experience with my own pets, as I have had dogs all of my life, in addition to dog sitting that I have done on the side in previous years. I am such a pet lover and I am really looking forward to this experience, especially since I work 100% remote. Some things that distinguish me from other people is that I am open to learning, so new experiences and situations come easily to me. Secondly, I am extremely caring, especially when it comes to other people's animals, since I understand what its like to leave your pet in the care of somebody else. I am also easy to work with and have no issues communicating through any possible issues. Working 100% remote allows me the flexibility to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I can take short breaks throughout the day to attend to my dog’s needs, whether it’s a quick walk, some playtime, or feeding. I also make time for longer walks in the morning and late afternoon, which gives both of us a refreshing break and helps my dog stay active. Being remote means I can adapt my schedule to ensure they get the care and attention they need without interrupting my work flow. In my home, I provide pets with a comfortable and spacious environment where they feel right at home. My 3-bedroom house offers plenty of room for pets to explore and relax, and I have a fenced-in backyard that allows for safe, supervised outdoor play. I prioritize creating a nurturing and engaging environment, ensuring pets have ample attention, playtime, and exercise. For walks, feeding, and any specific needs they may have, I tailor my routine to each pet’s preferences. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I keep their routines consistent, providing the same level of personalized care and attention to ensure they feel secure and happy in their familiar environment.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 6 years and have experience with both dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and personalities. Over the years I’ve cared for multiple family dogs, including my own dog since 2019, my mom’s two dogs, and my husband’s dog. I also cared for my two cats and helped raise their three kittens from birth until they were rehomed. I’ve been an animal lover since my first dog at the age of 2. I’ve always been loving and playful with them and when they misbehaved i’d only cage them temporarily so they know what they did was wrong without popping the dog. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, maintaining routines, and providing companionship for pets ranging from young animals to seniors. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care is currently my primary focus, which allows me to provide flexible and reliable care for your pets. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, medication reminders, and companionship throughout the day. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I do my best to follow their normal routines to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. Before care begins, I take time to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, preferences, and any special instructions. During visits and walks, I remain attentive to their needs and surroundings, ensuring they receive proper care, exercise, fresh water, and plenty of affection. I respect both your pet and your home as if they were my own and believe in maintaining open communication through updates and photos. My goal is to create a positive, safe, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.
About: As a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience raising and training a Cocker Spaniel, a Pitbull Terrier, and a Rottweiler from puppyhood into their senior years, my goal is to provide patient and dependable care tailored to your pet's unique personality. Whether they need playtime, walks, cuddles, or just a calm place to stay, they will always feel safe, loved, and cozy while in my care. I currently work full-time in Alexandria, VA, but I work remotely on Mondays and Wednesdays. I do have open availability on weekends, and I am available to board throughout the weekend into Monday. My care is tailored to the individual needs of every animal. My apartment complex is incredibly pet-friendly with a large area right outside my unit for long walks and playtime. We also have a grooming station in case your fur baby needs a little TLC before going home. As an active young adult and someone familiar with the challenges of the puppy years - I am also available to walk dogs as frequently as needed. I also have no problem administering medication or patiently supporting elderly or special needs animals.

“Mark and his family were great with Khaleesi! I could tell from the pictures he sent she was well love by the entire family! I highly recommend Mark that likes attention and likes to cuddle and will definitely use his services again.”
“Payton is awesome and she truly cares for my dogs. She takes really good care of them and gives me plenty of updates (pictures, video, and messages) while they're in her care. She is the only one in this area that I trust to watch my dogs!”
“Thank you again, Lilian, for taking such thoughtful care of Ruby and Ivy while I was away in Washington state. It gave me a great sense of peace knowing they were in a calm, attentive, and caring environment while I traveled. I appreciated the updates, communication, and overall kindness shown throughout their stay. It was clear they were well looked after and treated with patience and care. I would absolutely recommend your services to others looking for a trustworthy caretaker for their pets.”
“Yolanda was a great sitter! She communicated well and was flexible when I was able to pick my dog up a day early due to a change in travel plans. My dog had a great time with her!”
“Aaron & Tia took great care of my Frenchie Bella. She had an initial knee injury that required crate rest and very limited activity and their willingness to accommodate our needs at the last minute for an extended (18 day) stay was beyond amazing. After the meet and greet with Aaron and their amazing soon I felt even more at ease. Prior to her stay, Bella was stung in the eye and was required eye drops in addition to the knee injury. Aaron wasn't phased by the additional special needs. While on travel in Asia, I received almost daily pics and a video. I could tell she was having a great time. She also needed to lose a few pounds to help with her knee injury and Aaron and Tia returned Bella in tip top shape and a few pounds lighter. She is off of her pain meds for her knee and her eye is healed. I can't thank them enough. When I met with them they only had a few reviews and I wasn't deterred. This is proof that the # of reviews does not determine the type of love and care your pup receives. I will be using their services again and again very soon.”
“Elizabeth is amazing! She treated our pup Ollie like one of her own and made his stay feel like a true vacation. From fun adventures and plenty of playtime to the sweetest snuggles, it's clear she genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. She sent us the cutest photos and videos throughout his stay, which we looked forward to every day. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Ollie had the best time, and we’re so grateful to have found her!”
“OMG Brian's house is the BEST! Huge is usually pretty shell-shocked to be left behind. But this time was different. When we got to the house, Hugo jauntily walked right up to the right place, stopped to pee on a bush, and cruised right on in like he owned the place. I've never seen him so immediately at home in a strange house. He briefly greeted Bob and then explored. It was amazing. Brian has a very laid-back, positive vibe that transmits to people and to dogs. He is also very good at judging personalities and knowing how much affection and attention a dog is going to need. I hope he always has room for Hugo whenever we travel to DC!”
“Joe was such a great host for Barnaby while I was on work travel. He took Barnes on walks/runs each day, had him socialize with other dogs, and always sent me an update with pictures. Joe was very communicative, quick to respond, and flexible with pick-up / drop off. Truly the best dog watcher I've used in the city, and that's including the big chains. I'll definitely be using him again”
“I highly recommend Donna and Brain! They were reliable, caring, and accommodated me with short notice. My pet is well cared for, comfortable, and received plenty of attention. Knowing my pet is in such good hands gives me complete peace of mind. I will definitely book with them again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
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.
“Krista and Kira are WONDERFUL! Clearly great dog lovers and were so sweet with our senior tripod. He was clearly so happy and relaxed with them and that made being away stress free! Thank you SO MUCH!”
“Christian truly saved the day for me during a family emergency. She responded quickly, was very flexible, and took such good care of Caia. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Caia was with someone so kind and reliable. I’m very grateful and would absolutely trust her again.”
“Alli and her family took care of Cielo when our sitter canceled at the last minute. They were great! Alli was very responsive and sent daily updates on Cielo, which was just the right frequency for us.”
“Very reliable. Melonie did outstanding in caring for Fitz. She made sure i see pictures daily. She became a 2nd Mom to Fitz; no adjustment needed when we dropped him off and he was happy and content when we picked him up. He’s normally anxious in change of environment but he really felt a home with Melonie and her household. No issues at all in our previous and current visits.”
“Mady is an exceptional fur baby boarder and my fur baby, Max absolutely loves her, Bandit and the family! She provided lots of daily updates with pictures, showing regular walks and playtime in the yard. Because of Mady, I was able to enjoy my first vacation in over 20 years without worrying about Max and I truly appreciate her. I can't thank Mady enough for providing exceptional care for Max while I was out of the country. My next vacation will definitely include a booking with Mady!❤️”
“Jenna was an absolutely fantastic Rover choice for my dog. She was exceptional at caring for her and was superb at letting me know how my dog was doing throughout the time she was with Jenna. If you are able to book with Jenna as an option, then you will be more than happy with the choice.”
“Amazing! My dog and I are joined at the hip and I don’t love leaving her just anywhere! Rouday was so kind and my dog took good care of him right away. His flexibility and graciousness with me almost stood out more than his professionalism and care with my dog. Highly recommend!!!”
“My dog had SUCH a wonderful time with Melodie and her pups!! She is great with communication and answers very quickly, and took great care of LIly while I was away. Will definitely book again - also, LIly loved the 2 dog parks close by!”
