About: I’ve had pets for most of my life. I’ve had two cats and three dogs. My three dogs all weigh over 120 pounds and I am able and used to taking care of big dogs. Well experienced in taking care of multiple animals in a home. I’m well also used to talking care of cats needs, including their needs for space, litter, and playtime.

At home I feed my cat in the morning and early evening, cleaning litter daily and frequent water changes.

“Byul (and her husband) were wonderful with my two cats! They provided detailed summaries and numerous pictures from each visit, and were super responsive and communicative throughout my time away. They followed food/water/litter preferences to a tee, and ensured my cats had ample play time twice a day. They were even kind enough to clean up several accidents after my cats decided that the holidays were a perfect time to start having tummy issues, and Byul and her husband made sure to monitor their behavior and checked the home for other accidents. Most importantly, my cats loved Byul and I was at ease knowing they were receiving great care. I’d highly recommend Byul and her husband if you need a pet sitter!”
About: I've taken care of multiple cats as a sitter over the last ten years and I currently live with the sweetest boy named Marshmallow.

About: I have been taking care off dogs since age five, when my family first got my childhood dog. Since then I have cared for two other dogs, providing basic training. Professionally, I have been watching dogs for 4 years, walking, feeding, and providing a fun experience to many dogs. I love dogs and would be so happy to care for yours! I currently work part time, mostly on the weekends. This means I would have around the clock time to assist during the week. For the weekends, I could board dogs if they are able to be apart for up to six hours, which typically would not happen. I have a large one bedroom apartment which will allow ample space to play with the dog inside. Regarding being outside, I love going on walks and can take them to the dog park, as well as using the yard outside my apartment.

About: Hi, I’m Andrea! I’ve always loved being around dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, so I make communication a priority by sending regular updates and photos throughout each stay. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I always try to match each dog’s routine and comfort level. Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles, or just a calm environment to relax in, I make sure they receive patience, attention, and affection during their stay. My goal is to create a clean, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels at home. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions you provide so your dog receives personalized care every time. I know every pet is different, and I truly enjoy building trust with both pets and owners. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! During my care I schedule specific times for feeding, walking, and play sessions, ensuring that every pet in my care receives consistent attention and affection. Caring for pets in my home involves creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment that caters to their individual needs. I start by designating specific areas for feeding, sleeping, and play to maintain a structured routine. I ensure these spaces are clean, free of hazards, and stocked with toys, bedding, and other essentials.

About: Even with just one year of hands-on pet care experience, I stand out because my approach focuses on attentiveness, patience, and understanding each animal’s unique personality. I’ve worked with a variety of cats—shy, energetic, senior, and special-needs—and I’ve learned how to build trust quickly through calm interaction, consistent routines, and gentle handling. I’m currently in college on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, but outside of those hours, my schedule is very flexible. Since I am not working right now, I’m available most weekdays, weekends, and evenings. This allows me to be dependable, responsive, and able to adjust to pet-care needs with plenty of open time. When I’m caring for your dog in your home, my focus is on keeping their routine consistent and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

I can accommodate your routine, whether your pet needs midday check-ins, long walks, or a dedicated house sitter. I take pride in keeping your home clean, secure, and organized while ensuring your pet receives all the attention, love, and structure routine they need to feel comfortable while missing you. I also know how reassuring it is to see how your pet is doing while you’re away, so you can expect plenty of photo updates. I just relocated to the Alexandria/Del Ray area to start my next job, which means I have nothing but free time! No matter what service you need, I am super flexible any day, at any time to fit seamlessly into your pets normal routine.

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.
“Sunny is the BEST sitter I have used on Rover! She is so attentive to my dog, sends frequent updates like pictures and videos, and truly makes her a priority during her stay. I frequently get updates of all the walks she goes on — my dog is tired and happy when she comes back to see me. Would absolutely recommend Sunny to anyone who is looking for quality in care at a reasonable price!”
“Krista was a great caretaker for Hugo! She was very communicative and proactive. She arranged a pre-stay meet and greet, sent thorough daily updates, and was flexible with pick-up and drop-off times to accommodate travel changes. Hugo had a great time, and so did we on our vacation, knowing that he was in great care!”
“Aaron and Tia will forever be my go to person for pet-sitting. I have a 4 month old French bulldog and he seems to be at home with them and I love how they communicate and send videos and pictures of my fur baby while I'm away. They definitely are educated about pets and what is needed, because they educated me about how to train my puppy. They are very welcoming and family/pet oriented.”
