Personalized care for your dog or cat - Marbury
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Marbury
“We love Mickey! He’s trained my dog continually and kept my dog during the weekend to get him more used to other dogs and everything has gone well! We will continue training for life! Mickey is laid back and explains everything sufficiently for my family to use tactics for our dog.”
“I've used numerous sitters before and no one compares to Seyla. He keeps me updated regularly with pictures and videos. My dog loves going to his house. He is extremely active with the dogs. I feel comfortable and confident knowing my dog is in good hands when we travel.”
“Rebeca is so caring and sweet. It’s the second time that we use her service and my puppy loves her so much. She stays calm and happy. Highly recommended.”
“We were traveling and planned a last minute stop in DC and Mount Vernon. Cameron was able to watch our Luna for 2 nights while we got to enjoy the city and not worry about Luna and the heat. Plus, Luna had other 4 legged friends to hang with. Would definitely recommend and thank you for taking great care of Luna.”
“Megan was great as always! We know that when we drop Charlie off, he’s not just staying with a sitter, he’s staying with a caring family. We always get updates when we are thinking of him and we know that he is safe and enjoying himself. Charlie loves it there and we think that sometimes he’d rather stay than come home!”
“Garrett and Ana were great! We had a meet and greet and all the family came to meet Pepper and Chili. They were very flexible and understanding as I had to modify my booking because one of my fur babies passed a couple of days before the scheduled boarding. They sent pictures and updates of Pepper every day and she came back home happy 😊”
“It’s the second time Chili and Pepper stay with Chelsea-Jo and Austin, this time for two weeks. They are great! Took care of them, treated them as part of the family, sent texts and pictures everyday (great pictures by the way) and Chili and Pepper were happy and comfortable with them.”
“Very kind couple who helped tremendously with my last minute request! My dog can be dog selective and they assured me that they keep all dogs separate because they are familiar with dogs who aren’t super social. I got daily updates with pictures about Oakley was doing and I never once doubted that my dog was in safe hand!”
“Carlos provides customized and compassionate care! We left our older Beagle for 2 weeks with Carlos and he sent daily updates and photos. He modified her diet when her stomach wasn’t well and made sure she took all of her medications. We were completely at ease on our vacation knowing Maggie was in such great hands. If you are looking for attentive dog sitting, excellent communication and responsiveness, and peace of mind, then you should book Carlos!”
“Jordyn welcomed our dog Lilly into her family. Our first time using her, we look forward to returning with her care. She kept us updated with regular Emails and Pictures.. fantastic experience. First time using her. Lily stayed for two weeks.❤️”
“Rae was absolutely great to work with when we had to take a trip shortly after adopting our pup, Moxie. It was clear from the meet and greet that she knows dogs well, and even though Moxie is still being trained on some things, Rae was great by giving us additional tips and tricks that we can use going forward and worked very well with her. Moxie had a great time playing with Rae's pups as well so it was great that she got some additional socializing too! We would recommend Rae and will be repeat customers”
“Rosalina and her family are incredible. Roscoe was well cared for and so happy. Rosalina sent me pictures throughout the stay and she even bathed Roscoe before I picked him up because he got dirty playing outside. Highly recommend (and I am a very nervous dog mom).”
“Robyn came through when I needed it! Very personable, professional and accommodating! Looking forward to establishing a long lived boarding a relationship for the very near future! ;-)”
“Jona was very easy to work with and took amazing care of our best friend! We felt comfortable knowing Phoebe was in great hands. At our meet and greet, it took Phoebe less than a minute before she was curled up next to Jona asking for a belly rub. During Phoebe's stay, Jona kept us updated throughout the day letting us know Phoebe was happy and well cared for. Phoebe followed Jona around the house and to bed each night - proving how quickly they bonded. Phoebe takes medication twice a day and that was no problem for Jona. Phoebe requires a lot of attention and love and Jona gave her that and more. We will absolutely plan to book again with Jona. I am very happy and Phoebe was so happy!”
“Jim was awesome with Shelby!!! She really enjoyed her stay and had a great time, especially the long walks and the belly rubs. Would definitely recommend Jim to watch your fury friends. This was a last minute booking and the fact that he got back to me so quick with his availability, was also a plus…”
“This was my first time using this type of service to board my senior dog, and I must say that it was a blessing to find Sarah. She cared for Princess as if she was her own. Sarah provided me with status updates and went the extra mile. Will definitely use her services in the future. Thanks Sarah! You are the best!”
“Mila had an incredible time with David and his family, as always. There’s honestly no better compliment than seeing her come home both exhausted and a little sad—it’s the perfect sign she had a wonderful time and didn’t want to leave. Thank you once again for taking such amazing care of her. Looking forward to next time!”

“Nicole was an amazing cat sitter! She was incredibly loving, mindful, and attentive while caring for our cat. Knowing our cat was in such caring hands gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Nicole was also very flexible and easy to work with, which we truly appreciated. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!”
“Caitlyn did a wonderful job! She came before my trip to need Ophelia and learn what needed to be done and how to care for her. She showed up each evening on time and sent pictures , brought in package for me and let me know if anything was out of the norm! I highly recommend and will have her in the future!”
“Kady loves and knows animals and it really shows. She's very communicative and professional. Kady went above and beyond to help clean up after a cat having new litter issues. She handled my 4 cats with no issues. I highly recommend her for anyone with cats and multiple animals. I will absolutely use Kady again in the future.”
“Kiara was am amazing dog-sitter for my crotchety old pup. She went above and beyond expectations, giving him lots of love and attention. She also worked hard to clean up after him and keep his area comfortable. We will definitely be hiring her again!”
About: Although I do not have cats of my own, I am happy to care for yours! I’ve worked as a cat volunteer at the humane society and pet sit for cats in the past. I have not administered medication to cats, but am happy to learn!
“Steve was wonderful! He made sure our boys we're taken care of and took the time to write great notes about his visits. I could tell that he is a lover of all animals and would not hesitate to book him again. 5 stars!”
“That is a great addition—it shows she really understands different cat personalities, from the "spicy" ones who hate grooming to the shy ones. Here is the updated review with those details included: ### Review for Liz **Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** Liz provided incredible care for my three cats while I was away. It is always a bit stressful leaving a multi-cat household, but Liz handled everything with total professionalism and genuine care. She stayed on top of their specific needs, including: * **Medication & Maintenance:** She reliably administered medicine and kept the litter boxes spotless. Food and water were always fresh and topped off. * **Frank:** I loved the updates about her playing with him; she made sure he got plenty of exercise with his favorite laser toy! * **Rudy:** She even managed to give Rudy a good brushing—something he usually hates when I do it! She clearly has a magic touch. * **Ryan:** For my hider, Ryan, Liz took the time to find her every day just to lay eyes on her and make sure she was safe and doing okay. It’s clear Liz truly loves animals and respects their individual boundaries. I came home to happy, relaxed cats and a tidy home. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, patient sitter!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats and other pets for over 20 years, and I know that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m patient and attentive, and I’m happy to let shy or cautious cats warm up to me at their own pace. My professional experience working with animals, including training and bathing/grooming, has taught me how to safely handle pets, recognize body language, and pay attention to the little things that can make a big difference in their comfort and wellbeing. Whether your cat wants playtime and attention or prefers to keep their distance and simply have someone reliably check in on them, I’ll follow their lead and make sure they receive the care, companionship, and routine they’re used to while you’re away.
“Hannah was exceptional. She took wonderful care of our cat while we were gone. She was easy to work with, communicated promptly and was super friendly. She also went WAY above and beyond. I left a critical item at home. She located it and overnighted it to me. I don’t know what I would have done without her.”
“Amy was absolutely amazing with our 3 fur babies!! She took wonderful care of them while we were away! I would definitely recommend her and will use her services again in the future!”
“Very kind and easy to work with. Even offered to help us with our move. Patty was always happy to see him and get some play time - and she’s usually a very shy cat!”
“Morgan was FANTASTIC! I had never left my cat with anyone except my best friend and was extremely nervous about traveling for the holidays after she moved away. Morgan's expertise and care made it possible for my girl to stay in her comfort zone, and for me to be with family without severe anxiety. He communicated clearly and often, gave me great updates (and photos!), and was the perfect mix of professional and personable. He took plenty of time with her even when he came out on Christmas Day. He clearly understood cat psychology and Cleo adored him for it (I'm a little shocked because she does not typically warm up to people that quickly at all!). All in all I could not be more thrilled to have found a trustworthy source of care for my baby girl, and will definitely be using Morgan again in the future! 🧡”
About: I’ve cared for cats for many years and understand that each one has a unique personality and comfort level. I’m patient and attentive, especially with shy or independent cats, and I take time to build trust at their pace. I’m currently studying veterinary medicine, which helps me better understand feline health, behavior, and overall well-being. I’m comfortable handling feeding routines, litter box care, playtime, and giving cats the calm, quiet environment they need to feel safe. Whether your cat is playful or prefers space, I adapt to their needs and make sure they are comfortable, cared for, and stress-free while you’re away. I can administer medications if needed and provide updates and photos after each visit.
“Trina helped us check in on our cat, and responded promptly to my request. She’s professional, courteous, and maintained communication throughout the whole process. She gave our cat some treats, food, checked on her water, and most importantly she gave her some love 😻. My cat enjoyed Trina’s company and was PURRRing on the phone !🧡 Trina was kind enough to offer to check in on my backyard hens when I mentioned that I was little worried about them too. We appreciate all your help and the peace of mind you gave us while we’re away. 🙏”

I clean their litter boxes often every other day for Willow, and every 3–4 days for Stella, since she spends some time outdoors. I also have experience caring for my neighbor’s seven cats (four indoor and three outdoor) when she travels for work, along with her farm animals like rabbits, chickens, and other small critters.

“Kady was great with Thor. I appreciate her being available with a last minute request. She’s very flexible and reliable. I also appreciated the updates and pics. We’ll be back again!”
“This was the first time in 12 years I have used a dog sitter, and it will not be the last time because of Rebeca and Roman. They were very responsive from the beginning of the Rover process, and they continued throughout the four days I used their services. Rebeca greeted us every morning and afternoon with a smile. After the first day, Maple could not wait to get to Rebeca, literally jumping from my arms to her arms when we arrived at Rebeca/Roman’s home. I received a daily picture and even a video of Maple during the day. I had no concerns during the four days of daycare because of the pleasant attitude, daily photos, and Maple’s behavior before and after her time with Rebeca and Roman. Overall, a great experience. I will 100% use Rebeca and Roman again!!!”

We will absolutely reach out again when we need help with our pup.”
“My dog and I just moved to a new area so I was anxious about finding someone to watch him while we get settled. Jennifer and Justin were so kind and sent me plenty of photos throughout the day.

About: Im available all the time and have a lot of time with my own dog and I have a cat too. I’ve taken care of a senior dog I adopted and trained my current dog pretty well. My day is open. The only thing that’s ever on my calendar is getting my daughters to school. Other than that, I’m usually home. I have a fenced yard and my dog is really friendly. The yard is on the smaller side but still has plenty of places to run around.
About: I have 13 years of experience in caring for and walking adult and puppy pets, I am Pet Lover and Animal Proteccionist. My motto is “How you treat an animal defines you as a human being”. I am working from Monday to Thursday and Saturdays, my days off are Friday and Sundays, I will take those two days to dedicate to caring for your pet. I have a large garden, where your pet can walk and run happily, I live with a sister who loves pets, the whole house has a security camera system.
“Nicole has been great with my dogs. I made a last minute request for dog walking and she made herself available. I appreciate that she has showed up on time and has given my dogs good quality care.”
About: The fluffier, the better 🐶 I've got a soft spot for grumpy dogs and, if they’re particularly vocal, I’ll happily bark back (all in good fun). I love dogs of all shapes and sizes, drooly to the dramatic, love the cuddles and tail-wagging fun. Just don't expect me to share my snacks—unless you’ve got treats, then we can talk. Available Monday through Sunday full time, most hours and overnight as well as multiple days. I can most likely accommodate even last minute requests depending on your needs. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run around, and some trees to mark. There's no plants or spreading of any chemicals and has been treated for ticks.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and currently my family has a golden retriever since 2019 and helped train and take care of him all these years. I genuinely love dogs and think they should be treated well and taken care of and given love as they always give us love and affection. I am a Kindergarten teacher Monday to Friday, so late afternoons, evenings and weekends work for me either or both for walks or dog sitting. I care for pets in a home like they are my own. I am respectful to the instructions left to me on how to be with them, as well as that they should be treated kindly. The house I rent does not allow pets, so I could only do clients houses for dog sitting
About: I have several years of experience providing dependable and compassionate pet care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I have cared for both small and large adult dogs through regular walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, ensuring they receive the exercise, attention, and care they need. I am comfortable handling energetic, strong dogs as well as senior dogs that require a gentler approach. My priority is always the safety, happiness, and well-being of every dog, and I treat each pet with the same love and care I would give my own. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to check in on pets. Prefer morning walks and late afternoon walks.Have an open schedule. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I make sure they stay comfortable by following their regular routines. I provide fresh food and water, take dogs on walks, let them outside for bathroom breaks, clean up after them, administer medication if instructed, and spend quality time playing with and comforting them. I also keep the home clean and secure by bringing in mail or packages if requested, watering plants, and ensuring doors and gates are locked before leaving. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind by providing reliable, attentive, and loving care while they are away.
About: Hi, I'm Val! I'm a lifelong animal lover with decades of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes (we were definitely a pet-crazy family!). My sister is a former vet tech (I have learned so much from her and she is still my #1 resource when I have to "triage" anything non-emergent), and I grew up surrounded by animals, so pet care has always felt like second nature to me. I’ve cared for senior pets, administered medications, supported animals with special needs, even raised premature puppies! I’m very attuned to the unique rhythms and cues of each animal I meet. I’m gentle, playful, and intuitive, matching energy levels and always paying attention to what a pet needs in the moment. Whether that means slow movements and soft energy or zoomies and tug-of-war, I show up in a way that helps your pet feel safe, respected, and loved. I also deeply value communication with pet parents. I’ll always ask lots of questions to understand your preferences, routines, and what makes your pet feel their best. You can count on regular photo and written updates during our time together! I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to work with pets who may require more attention on walks together due to triggers, so long as there’s no bite history and we’ve had a proper meet & greet to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. :) I'm looking forward to meeting your fur fam! I work remotely and have a flexible and self-structured schedule, so I’m thankfully able to build my days intentionally around the things that matter, including pet care! I space out my client sessions to make room for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with the animals I care for. When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of their space and routines, and always take the time to understand what helps them feel safe and comfortable. I read behavior cues, match energy levels, and adjust my approach, whether that means calm and slow or playful and high-energy. I ask detailed questions up front so I can follow your preferences closely, and I always keep you updated with photos and notes. Your pet’s well-being and emotional safety are my top priorities.
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs my entire life, I also have a lot of experience handling and taking care of large breed dogs like pitbulls and dogo argentinos. I'm a college student with lots of free time and I would love to spend time with your pets and love them like mine. I can walk, feed, bathe and mostly love all kinds of dogs and cats and this is like a dream job to me. Taking care of animals will be my mainly routine since I'm on break from college. I will put all my time and care into making sure your fur babies are taken care of. I live in an apartment complex that has a dog park and my nice quiet neighborhood is walking distance from a playground and a high school track & field. I mostly do this for fun and supplemental income on my free time so I am flexible on cost and cancellation. Your pets' safety and happiness are paramount. I aim to create a stress free and fun environment for everyone.

“We love Mickey! He’s trained my dog continually and kept my dog during the weekend to get him more used to other dogs and everything has gone well! We will continue training for life! Mickey is laid back and explains everything sufficiently for my family to use tactics for our dog.”
“I've used numerous sitters before and no one compares to Seyla. He keeps me updated regularly with pictures and videos. My dog loves going to his house. He is extremely active with the dogs. I feel comfortable and confident knowing my dog is in good hands when we travel.”
“We were traveling and planned a last minute stop in DC and Mount Vernon. Cameron was able to watch our Luna for 2 nights while we got to enjoy the city and not worry about Luna and the heat. Plus, Luna had other 4 legged friends to hang with. Would definitely recommend and thank you for taking great care of Luna.”
“Megan was great as always! We know that when we drop Charlie off, he’s not just staying with a sitter, he’s staying with a caring family. We always get updates when we are thinking of him and we know that he is safe and enjoying himself. Charlie loves it there and we think that sometimes he’d rather stay than come home!”
“Very kind couple who helped tremendously with my last minute request! My dog can be dog selective and they assured me that they keep all dogs separate because they are familiar with dogs who aren’t super social. I got daily updates with pictures about Oakley was doing and I never once doubted that my dog was in safe hand!”
“Jordyn welcomed our dog Lilly into her family. Our first time using her, we look forward to returning with her care. She kept us updated with regular Emails and Pictures.. fantastic experience. First time using her. Lily stayed for two weeks.❤️”
“Rosalina and her family are incredible. Roscoe was well cared for and so happy. Rosalina sent me pictures throughout the stay and she even bathed Roscoe before I picked him up because he got dirty playing outside. Highly recommend (and I am a very nervous dog mom).”
“Jim was awesome with Shelby!!! She really enjoyed her stay and had a great time, especially the long walks and the belly rubs. Would definitely recommend Jim to watch your fury friends. This was a last minute booking and the fact that he got back to me so quick with his availability, was also a plus…”
“This was my first time using this type of service to board my senior dog, and I must say that it was a blessing to find Sarah. She cared for Princess as if she was her own. Sarah provided me with status updates and went the extra mile. Will definitely use her services in the future. Thanks Sarah! You are the best!”
“Mila had an incredible time with David and his family, as always. There’s honestly no better compliment than seeing her come home both exhausted and a little sad—it’s the perfect sign she had a wonderful time and didn’t want to leave. Thank you once again for taking such amazing care of her. Looking forward to next time!”
“Mary watched my two dogs a total of four times for three days at a time, and I waited till the last visit to write a review. Mary is absolutely awesome. My youngest can be a handful at times, but Mary is extremely patient, caring, and truly just loves dogs. I received a message from Mary on the second visit that my dog threw up and was not feeling good. She asks me if she can boil chicken breast and rice for him to have something easier on the stomach. This just made me feel good about leaving them in her care and that she had his best interest. She truly wants the best for them. She is the first person my dog has ever ran up to invitingly and was not timid of. I will definitely be going back to Mary if I’m in need of a good dog sitter.”
“My pups were very well taken care of during their stay! From the first conversation with Brian I felt comfortable leaving my fur babies in his care; meeting up and letting the dogs roam and get familiar was truly icing on the cake! Immediately my dogs explored his home as if it was our own (which NEVER happens) and they didn't bark at Bob or act uncomfortable while we were there. I got to know Brian and Bob and raved about the two of them to my husband as soon as I got home. Brian sent us tons of pictures during their time away from home, which kept me and my husband's worries at bay. Upon picking them up they were happy to see us but definitely were sad to have to leave. I'll most definitely be using Brian's services again in the future! 10/10 would recommend.”
“My Rocky had a great time for his overnight stay. I picked him up early only because it was on our way home. He seemed to have been well taken care of. I would use this service again.”
“Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.”
“Erwin & his wife are very welcoming, communicate well, & share plenty of photos and videos. My pup appeared very happy during our meet and greet, drop off and pickup! I’m sure he loved their backyard the most! I will certainly reach out for future extended stays! Thank you, Oakley.”
