“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”
“Stephanie and Luis are the absolute best! They provided fantastic care for Toto. The communication was outstanding and frequent. The reassuring updates made my time away completely stress-free. Toto came home incredibly happy and well-cared for. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth was my first sitter using Rover and she will be my go-to from now on! She took great care of my love and sent lots of photos while I was away. I'm very grateful to have found Elizabeth!”
“I can’t recommend Zulu enough! She took such wonderful care of my dog while I was away. She was so attentive and sent updates, making sure my furry baby felt happy and comfortable the entire time. I’ll definitely reach out to her again the next time I need a sitter.”
“Jasmine and Stormi were great with Roxy. Roxy was transitioning between dog foods during her stay and Jasmine handled it like a pro. I would highly recommend Jasmine for your next trip.”
“I recently had my Bella stay with Vania for 5 days. When I booked the appointment which was short notice I was thankful that Vania was will to accommodate me. Vania went above and beyond to provide great care to Bella, this was her 2nd time out of the home and from the time I dropped her off it was a challenge just to get her to indoors. I am thankful to Vania for her wonderful care of Bella and will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“I can’t thank Diego enough for the incredible care he provided for my dog, Zulu, especially after his recent surgery. Diego went above and beyond—making sure Zulu took all his medications on time, preventing him from licking his wound, and giving him the special attention he needed during the healing process. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Zulu was in such capable and compassionate hands. Diego is truly my go-to for both boarding and daycare whenever he’s available. His level of attentiveness, reliability, and genuine care makes all the difference. See you in August!”
“Jenna was outstanding! Communication was nearly instantaneous, and it was clear she and her husband truly loved our dogs. We received frequent messages and tons of great photos showing our pups happy, relaxed, and having fun. They were clearly in excellent hands. As good as it gets: we’ll absolutely use her again!”
“Marla did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Caramel. She sent photos and videos, which really gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend Marla and would absolutely trust her again in the future!”
About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I provide more than just walks — I provide safe, loving, and attentive care tailored to every pup’s unique personality and needs. My background includes fostering dogs, working in a professional dog boarding facility, volunteering in animal shelters, and gaining experience in an animal hospital setting, which has given me the skills to confidently care for dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. As a dedicated fur mom myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I treat every dog like family and focus on creating a comfortable, stress-free, and fun experience while you’re away. Whether your pup needs extra patience, structured care, medication support, playtime, or simply lots of love and attention, I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and cared for every step of the way. I pride myself on reliability, communication, and building genuine bonds with both pets and owners. Your dog’s well-being will always be my top priority. My schedule is structured to make sure every dog in my care gets the time, attention, exercise, and consistency they deserve. I currently work full-time Monday through Thursday from 4 PM–12 AM, so on those days I’m available for morning and noon visits, walks, drop-ins, feedings, potty breaks, and quality playtime before heading to work.

I understand that every dog is different, so I tailor my care to each pet’s specific needs, routine, and personality.

During walks and pet sitting visits, I focus on safety, communication, and making sure your pet is happy, exercised, and well cared for every step of the way.
“Chrismar is an excellent young woman. She took great care of Milo; she took him for walks at the park, let him sleep with her in her bed, and always kept me informed about my puppy. She is very responsible and caring. I would definitely request her services again. 🐶💛”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our Tony! Janel is kind, attentive, and truly loves dogs. Tony had never stayed in a different home before and has been pretty isolated. Janel was patient and loving to Tony and sent me cute pictures and notes. She was also very communicative and flexible when we had to change our pick up date. Tony adapted well to his new friends and I could tell he missed them after he left! Janel is the best!”
“I genuinely cannot recommend McKinley enough! She is the sweetest, kindest, and most thoughtful sitter I could have ever asked for. From the moment I dropped Hamilton off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such amazing hands. She sent me daily photos and checked in throughout the day with updates on everything he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’ve honestly never seen Hamilton happier. He looked so comfortable, loved, and genuinely excited to be there, I think he was actually a little sad to leave, lol. It was so obvious that McKinley treated him like he was her own, and that meant the world to me. If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your pet, keep you updated, and go above and beyond, McKinley is the person to book. I would trust her with Hamilton again in a heartbeat and will absolutely be using her in the future. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone looking for the best possible care for their pet!”
“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.”
“Kelly was great. She was quick to respond initially and during Brandys visit sending pictures and updates throughout the stay. Brandy seemed very happy upon coming home. I would recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a stay. I will book again when needed.”
“Audrey was beyond great! She was super flexible with times and also just an all around pleasant person! She made me feel at ease knowing Roman was in great care and he made his first ever friend with her dog fitz and I was shocked to know he shared his toys so I know Audrey was definitely the best choice for us and we will be back”
“Matt and Kelly (and their sweet daughter!) took great care of Robbin while I was away! They took her on plenty of walks and runs and I received pictures while I was away which was very much appreciated.”
“Lia’s communication is always on point! Charlie and I recently moved to DC and looking for a new sitter. Lia was honestly the best sitter for Charlie! She went above and beyond for Charlie even accommodated to his spoiled picky eating behavior 😂. Honestly I want to gate keep Lia but I think everyone deserves to have a sitter like her.”
“Brian, did a perfect job of taking good care of our Furby! Our boy felt right at home upon coming into his house. Brian and his wife keep up well with making sure the house is clean and dog friendly. There are many doggy toys and much room for any furry friend to roam. I love how quick Brian was able to respond to our last minute dog sitting and boarding request. He kept us posted and took beautiful pictures of my dogs stay. I will most likely use Brian to watch Furby again if ever we are in the area again. Thank you Brian and family for the memorable photos of u and Furby!”
“Nicole was amazing! 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. My princess looked so happy within Nicole’s care and she had fun with the other pups too. Thank you Nicole!”

About: I’m a dedicated dog owner with hands-on experience caring for multiple fur babies with different needs, personalities, and sizes. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic care, and giving pets the patience and attention they need to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also have experience with dogs who deal with allergies, sensitive stomachs, and anxious behavior, so I understand how important it is to pay attention to routines and little changes in behavior. What sets me apart is that I truly treat fur babies like family. I know every pet has their own personality, comfort level, energy needs, and routine, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel secure. Whether your dog is playful and active, shy and nervous, or just wants cuddles and consistency, I aim to provide loving, dependable care and regular updates so you can feel at ease while they’re with me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for dogs of my own and structure my day around feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m used to keeping up with routines, paying attention to behavior changes, and giving pets the time, patience, and affection they need. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or boarding, I make sure each pet gets consistent care, attention, and a calm environment. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I make sure pets have a clean, secure, and calm environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, potty schedules, medications if needed, and any special routines or triggers your pet may have. In a client’s home, I respect your space and do my best to keep your pet on their normal routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I also believe in regular updates, clear communication, and treating every fur baby with the same love, patience, and care I would want for my own.
“Absolutely amazing sitter. She left detailed notes after every visit, sent pictures, and clearly put a lot of care and attention into checking on my cat. I really appreciated how communicative and thoughtful she was, it made being away so much less stressful. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she’s watching. Would absolutely book again!”
“Mikaela was extremely professional and understanding with our kitties' unique personalities and dynamics. She took great pictures of them and followed our instructions very well.”
About: Hi! My name is Anjelica. I am a dog person and a cat person but if I am to be honest I have gotten a huge soft spot for cats since having 2 of my own. I have pet sit for people many times over the past couple of years, cats and dogs. Whether it involved me going to their house, walking them, or having them come to my house for a couple of hours. I have a car so I am able to drive to wherever I’m needed and am available most days! Like I said you can trust me with your fur baby. I am particular with how I feed my own cats so I understand certain routines that may be requested when it comes to watching other people’s pets!😄 I am available to provide pet care throughout the week (M-F) 10am-7:30pm. If you would like me to provide pet care more than once throughout the day or week I just ask that you provide enough detail and clear communication I want to provide the best care for the pets. I ask the owner(s) about anything I should specifically do or not do, how often should I walk them, when their feeding times are, etc. I just make sure I have all the necessary info so the pet can be taken care of properly and safely and then it’s time for belly rubs!
“Cynthia went above and beyond for Hobbes. She sent a lot of pictures, was easy to reach, and always kept us updated. I would highly recommend her to others.”
About: My partner and I have experience caring for cats with a variety of personalities, from social and playful to shy and independent. We understand that cats rely heavily on routine and a calm environment. During house sitting, we carefully follow feeding schedules, refresh water daily, maintain clean litter boxes, and monitor for any changes in behavior or appetite. We provide companionship based on each cat’s comfort level — whether that means interactive playtime or simply quiet presence and reassurance. We are comfortable administering oral, liquid, and topical medications as directed. We are not able to administer injectable medications. Our goal is to keep your cat relaxed, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away.
“Erica was great with our cat. She was very responsive and helpful. She went above and beyond, e.g. by also bringing the mail inside and stopping by for an additional, next-day visit. Would definitely recommend her and work with her again. Thank you, Erica!”
“Mikela was very personable and very communicative when we did our virtual meet and greet. Our kitty is very old and needed some extra care and she was very understanding and helpful about it. We were away with no service except for emergencies/ rare service spots so when we were able to check in she was very fast with responding and giving us updates. We super appreciated her and her attention to detail and how well our little old lady was cared for. We would absolutely book her again. Thank you Mikela!”
“Heather did an amazing job of taking care of our three elderly cats. She was able to give them all the medications they needed, clean up after them and play with them every day. Thank you so much, and our kitties thank you too!”
“Alejandra did a great job dropping in on our cats over the weekend. She was on time, provided detailed reports, took lots of pictures, and asked good questions when some of the instructions we left were unclear. I plan to hire her again if she is willing!”
“Melissa did a wonderful job watching our two cats while we were away for the weekend! She kept us in the loop during her visits and was always clear with her check ins. We will definitely book with her again!!”
About: I love all the dogs. I enjoy playing with them and taking walks. I love long hiking in the parks where me and dogs can be closer to nature. I have always met only great dogs. They all have different personalities and this is something that requires patience and understanding to allow the dog connect with me. However, as big or small the dog can be, it has no difference for me. In my life I had only one time dog biting me and it was when I was a child and was running through the neighbor's property and the dog did his duty and started running after me. He scratched my left leg with his teeth, but it was more of a gentle warning, than a bite. Dogs listen to me very well. Sometimes I get surprised myself how well they respond to me. This is something I would enjoy doing with all my heart Dogs are amazing creatures! Thank you, Oksana
“Amy took great care of our cats while we were out of town. It was very reassuring to get updates after each visit. We came home to happy cats. We would definitely book Amy in the future.”

“Sasha was welcomed and enjoyed every moment with his Melissa and two fur babies. I highly recommend Melissa. She was understanding of my hectic schedule. Truly appreciated. Make me comfortable and reassuring with effective communication and pictures!! Amazing job! She want to come back already.”
“My dog, Freddie, stayed with Joe for an afternoon while we were out in Beaufort. Joe has a great location, super convenient to downtown and a great backyard for the pups to play in. Joe made things super easy and his dog, Watson, kept Freddie busy and entertained for the afternoon. Would highly recommend Joe and Watson and hope to have Freddie stay again in the future!”
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.

“Alejandra is an a amazing! Me and my Miniature Schnauzer WALL-E relocated. We've been trying to find someone loving, caring and great with fur babies. Our MEET and Greet with her was so inviting. She introduced us to handsome lil guy Ritchie (Pomeranian). WALL-E and Ritchie for familiar with each other with no worries!. I used the day care service. Alejandra was great with communicating. Very professional and she loves showing love to WALL-E. She presented videos, photos and kept me updated on how my lil guy was doing throughout the day. Thank you WALL-E and Q”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was about 10 years old ! I have always been the kind of person who takes in a stray cat or dog or at least feed them. Anytime anyone needs a pet sitter they call me and I gladly provide the services needed ! I currently own two cats who have been raised around dogs due to me being a temporary foster home for pets ! My cats are also friendly towards other cats ( due to the amount of cats I temporally foster ) I’m currently unemployed but I do have a online business which allows me to have an open schedule. With having more time on my hands than the average person I am able to provide care at any moment notice I live in a dog friendly neighborhood with a full sized state park less than 10 minutes away ! What that mean is your dog will get in all the exercise they needs while exciting their sense to a world of unfamiliar smells and sights !
About: Recently married and paying off bills! If you have animal needs, I'm your girl! I've had cats and dogs my whole life. All kinds of breeds-mostly huge ones🤣 husky, chow, labs. I currently swap pet care with a neighbor, so I figured why not sign up for Rover! She said she used to do it, and she enjoyed Rover. It gives me a dopamine boost every time I get to see the fur babies. I'll treat them just as my own. I work from home, so with enough notice, I can make time to make runs out to care of your pets! I am in Temple Hills - very nearby is easiest. I usually immediately let out the dogs or walk the dogs. Then I feed them. While they are eating, I will do whatever needs to be done such as filling water bowls, cleaning up messes, etc. Then once they are done, I give lots of hugs or play depending on the doggie needs. Some dogs just want to sit under my feet and sleep while I'm at the counter or some dogs have all the energy in the world. Cats tend to just be cats 🤣 I had a cat that requires injections, so long as the dog or cat tolerates, I can do shots, oral or topical meds.
“Max was really nice and good with my dogs, one of my dogs is really nervous around strangers and she was comfortable around him, my dogs seemed happy and relaxed when we picked them up.”
About: I’m a huge dog lover and would love to take care of your baby! I grew up with/around dogs and have been pet sitting my friends’ dogs for years. My dog, Junie, is an easygoing girl who loves long walks and playtime just as much as she loves cuddling on the couch! We’d love to have your dog join us for fun and relaxation! My dog takes some medicine so I’m comfortable providing all sorts of medicines to your dog and accommodating for any special needs they may have. I always send lots of updates and photos cuz I know how important to me when I’m away from my pup! I work from home full time so your dog won’t be alone all day. I usually take my dog Junie out at least once during the work day but we can adjust based on your pup’s needs! I want your pet to feel at home! He/she will be allowed on the furniture as long as you allow that at home (don’t want to build any bad habits 😊). Junie and I love long walks before and after work and we’d be happy to have your dog join us. There is a dog park about a 10 min walk away that we got to pretty frequently as well. If your baby is more of a couch potato, we can make that work too! My dog, Junie, is very go with the flow and will be happy to do whatever your dog wants to do!

“Shelby was awesome! I had a last minute emergency, and she accommodated me and was very kind and flexible about it. Meech enjoyed his stay with her, I will definitely be taking him back there!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have a large, fenced-in yard for my 2-year old Black Russian Terrier male dog (the sweetest thing) to romp around, and I have a dog door that freely opens to the yard so your pet can go outside whenever they want. I also have chickens in the backyard, but they are secured in their run, so they are just eye candy for the doggies. Since I work from home, I am always at my house, and my office window looks over the yard, so there is always a watchful eye over the pets. The fence surrounding my house is always locked so there is total security, and of course if your pet wants to cool off or warm up--they have full access to the house with soft beds to lay in.
About: I have had dogs and cats since a very young age, caring for them has been something that has been my passion for a while now. I love meeting and playing with new dogs and so does my dog (: ! I have raised dogs all the way until they were very old so senior care is not an issue. Me and my dog love to go on long walks and explore different areas in my neighborhood! I have a fenced backyard that my dog has access to at all times as well (: ! I work remotely most of the week so I will be there all day with the animals making sure they can get plenty of exercise I have a fenced yard that is easily and always accessible and plenty of room for a crate if that is what you use for your dog

“We loved Kalani soooooo much! Our dog, Maro, literally refused to switch to another walker after spending a few weeks with her while our regular walker was away, he adores her that much — we’re hoping he will reconsider now that she’s moving out of our area! She is amazing with dogs, super attentive and caring, and with pet parents she is perfectly professional, communicative, and reliable. 13/10 would recommend for any pet-related service!”

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: Animals have always been a central part of my life. I have owned and cared for pets since I was seven years old and worked for the humane society for two years while attending college. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with love, attention, patience, and a safe environment. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, car rides, and engaging them in playtime activities that keep them happy, active, and mentally stimulated. My experience with a variety of breeds has given me extensive knowledge of different temperaments, behaviors, and care needs. I am gentle, dependable, and committed to ensuring every pet feels comfortable and secure. In addition to caring for my own animals, I have rescued pets and helped provide safe homes for those in need. I am also a dedicated supporter of the humane society because I believe pets truly enrich our lives. Each animal has a unique personality and special way of communicating, and I find great joy in building trusting relationships with them. For me, caring for pets is more than a responsibility—it's a passion and a way of helping save and improve lives. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a working professional, I understand the importance of balancing responsibilities while ensuring pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. I schedule pet visits, walks, feeding times, and playtime just as I would any other important commitment. I am organized, dependable, and committed to making sure your pet receives consistent care, companionship, and affection throughout the day. Your pet's well-being will always be a priority in my schedule. A place where tails wag, paws play, and dogs are treated like family! At 3BK Scratch & Play Hut, your furry companion will enjoy all-day play, safe and engaging walks, endless cuddles, affection, and plenty of love. ❤️❤️ We provide a fun, comfortable, and caring environment where every dog receives personalized attention, companionship, and the care they deserve. Whether your pup loves to play, explore, relax, or snuggle, they'll feel right at home with us. Because every dog deserves a day filled with happiness, love, and belly rubs! 🐾❤️🐶

I currently train my dog in emotional and psychiatric care as she is training to be a service animal. I am currently working a part-time job and do online school so don’t worry about me leaving your pets high and dry!! I have two pets of my own so I know how important attention is. I’m available whenever you need me I live in a dog friendly neighborhood where all the dogs (and dog owners) know each other. I have a large yard and live only a couple minutes away from a park. I can easily crate your pet if necessary and have a super shy dog that won’t bother yours at all. We have plenty of things to keep your pet entertained including a splash pad and plenty of toys

Having a flexible schedule allows me to do things I love and nothing is more rewarding and fun then caring/playing with dogs I will always communicate an update you when caring For your furry friend to ensure you that they are safe and being well taken care of such as following your feeding schedule or walking schedule
About: I have had pets my whole life and also I am a k9 handler for the Airforce and I volunteer at my sister vet clinic I'm currently in the airforce at Andrews air base my schedule isn't that busy at all I normally work 3-4 days a week from 4AM -1PM Treating pets as if they were your own kids with nothing but love affection and respect. Also treating a clients home as is if was my own im there to do my job and that's it.
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my extensive experience and specialized skills in handling dogs of all ages and temperaments. I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior, which allows me to provide tailored care and training to meet the unique needs of each dog. I am well-versed in training puppies, focusing on foundational skills and positive reinforcement techniques to foster good behavior and a strong bond. For senior dogs, I offer compassionate care that includes managing age-related issues such as mobility challenges and medical needs, ensuring they remain comfortable and happy. In addition to training and age-specific care, I am committed to maintaining a structured routine that promotes a sense of security and well-being. My approach combines attentive supervision with engaging activities, making sure your dog receives both mental and physical stimulation. This personalized and holistic approach ensures that every dog in my care receives the attention and care they deserve. Getting to take care of animals simply is one of the most rewarding things around. Dogs are always so giving towards us, so I believe that it is my duty to give back to them whenever possible! Dogs have certainly done so much for my life and I simply want to make sure they have all the love and kindness they need to thrive. Getting to meet new dogs and help people out all at once is a dream come true for me! Although I’ll be the primary caregiver for your dog, my home is full of puppy love! I currently live with my significant other, and they are a huge dog lover! They’ve had dogs for their whole life and is always happy to bring a new pup into the mix. When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Perhaps the best thing about me as a sitter is that I’m a full-time dog lover! I am home every day except for Thursday which means that your pup will have all the love and attention that they need. No one likes to keep their pooch cooped up in a kennel all day, so I make sure that they can roam free and clear as they please! As I’m home all day except for Thursday, I’m the perfect fit for dogs that are used to having their human around them during the day--or for ones that could benefit from that! If you can't afford my prices I can work with you on the price you can afford it's no problem. As a pet sitter, your routine might look something like this: - **Morning:** Arrive to feed the pets, take them for a walk, and handle any bathroom breaks. - **Midday:** Check in again for a short visit, playtime, or a quick walk, depending on the pet’s needs. - **Evening:** Return to feed the pets again, provide companionship, and handle any additional exercise or bathroom breaks. I care for parts in my home all my clients home by making sure they're safe to have the food and taking them for walks and playing with their toys with them everyday.

“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”
“Elizabeth was my first sitter using Rover and she will be my go-to from now on! She took great care of my love and sent lots of photos while I was away. I'm very grateful to have found Elizabeth!”
“I recently had my Bella stay with Vania for 5 days. When I booked the appointment which was short notice I was thankful that Vania was will to accommodate me. Vania went above and beyond to provide great care to Bella, this was her 2nd time out of the home and from the time I dropped her off it was a challenge just to get her to indoors. I am thankful to Vania for her wonderful care of Bella and will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Jenna was outstanding! Communication was nearly instantaneous, and it was clear she and her husband truly loved our dogs. We received frequent messages and tons of great photos showing our pups happy, relaxed, and having fun. They were clearly in excellent hands. As good as it gets: we’ll absolutely use her again!”

“I genuinely cannot recommend McKinley enough! She is the sweetest, kindest, and most thoughtful sitter I could have ever asked for. From the moment I dropped Hamilton off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such amazing hands. She sent me daily photos and checked in throughout the day with updates on everything he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’ve honestly never seen Hamilton happier. He looked so comfortable, loved, and genuinely excited to be there, I think he was actually a little sad to leave, lol. It was so obvious that McKinley treated him like he was her own, and that meant the world to me. If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your pet, keep you updated, and go above and beyond, McKinley is the person to book. I would trust her with Hamilton again in a heartbeat and will absolutely be using her in the future. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone looking for the best possible care for their pet!”

“Brian, did a perfect job of taking good care of our Furby! Our boy felt right at home upon coming into his house. Brian and his wife keep up well with making sure the house is clean and dog friendly. There are many doggy toys and much room for any furry friend to roam. I love how quick Brian was able to respond to our last minute dog sitting and boarding request. He kept us posted and took beautiful pictures of my dogs stay. I will most likely use Brian to watch Furby again if ever we are in the area again. Thank you Brian and family for the memorable photos of u and Furby!”

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.
“Ollie has the best time with Donna and always comes back so happily tired! And we love all the adorable updates she sends. Ollie is excited to head back to Donna’s next week for more fun!!”
About: Hi! I'm Krista and I genuinely love spending time with dogs and have lots of experience taking care of them. I recently said goodbye to my sweet and quirky 12‑year‑old German Shepherd. Caring for her throughout the years has given me experience with all the different stages from energetic pups to the oldies with mobility challenges and slower routines. My shepherd struggled with anxiety around other dogs, so I’m very familiar with reading body language, creating safe distance, and keeping walks calm and controlled. Throughout the years, I have cared for and spent ample time with doggos belonging to friends and family members and look forward to the opportunity to give others peace of mind when they need to leave their loved ones. Lots of walks, pets, play time and of course, photos/videos for owners! I work from home so there are lots of opportunities to go outside. There are a few parks nearby and lots of grassy areas. I also have dog beds, dishes and plenty of toys! Please note, my building unfortunately has restrictions on the following dog breeds: Akita, Alaskan Malamutes, Chow Chow, Doberman Pinscher, Malamute, Pit Bull Breeds, Presa Canarios, Rottweiler, Staffordshire Terrier and Wolf Dogs. I live in a condo building but there's lots of areas outside to venture around! I do own a crate if needed/preferred. I will bring your dog on many walks and ensure they have lots of play time (for the youngins) and rest (for the oldies) :)
“Serena and her boyfriend took such incredible care of Finnley while we were away. She sent frequent updates and tons of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind and honestly made my day every time they came through. It truly felt like he was in the very best hands. Finnley was happy, relaxed, and clearly loved- I could tell he felt comfortable the whole time. I’m so grateful for Serena and would trust them again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend!”
“I can't say enough good things about Frida! She did a fantastic job watching my dog, Titan. She sent me regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Titan was clearly well-cared for and happy when I picked them up. I highly recommend Frida and will definitely be booking with them again!”
“I was nervous about leaving my dog, Maya, for 10 days, but Shelby was amazing and made me feel completely at ease. She sent me daily pictures of Maya playing with her dog, Rona, in the backyard, and it was so comforting to see Maya having fun throughout my time away. Shelby was super quick to respond to all of my messages, which also really helped. I highly recommend Shelby for anyone needing a reliable and caring dogsitter. Thanks, Shelby & Rona, for taking such great care of Maya!”
