She was patient, attentive, and proactive in making sure my dog felt comfortable and secure. I received updates that gave me peace of mind, and it was obvious my dog was being well cared for.

About: I have been someone that many families have relied on ever since I was around 11 years old. Through these years of experience, I have been able to take care of dogs of all shapes and sizes with all the support they need, such as walks, baths, etc. I am always versatile and understanding when it comes to pet sitting because I want to make sure the dog/owner can trust the pet sitter. Over the past two years, I have gained additional experience in a professional setting as a PetCare Specialist at Perfect Pet Resort. This required me to not only handle and care for multiple dogs or cats throughout the day but also to pass a behavioral dog class beforehand to gain more knowledge. I am currently available any day of the week to be an available pet sitter and am very flexible with what the pet sitter requires for their hours. I have a fenced in yard with two dogs currently. I have created a safe and knowledgeable environment for my pets to make sure they are always comfortable and happy. When it comes to visiting other families homes I will always make sure to know and understand the rules so I can follow them accordingly. With this I will then proceed to make sure the dog is taken care of in the best way possible as their family is away.
“Jessica was very responsible and extremely caring and hands-on with our senior cat (and hamster too). She did several check-ins a day and spent many overnights which requires a high level of trust and Jessica went above and beyond. She communicated constantly with updates, pictures and videos (seriously, top-notch communication) and she left our home in perfect condition. Our animals took right to her and I am grateful to have found someone so kind and committed.”
“Great service. Taylor kept in touch with me the entire time. My BigBoy was taken great care of and Thank you for the extras you took care of too. Will definitely use her again.”
About: I have 15 years of hands-on cat-care experience, including caring for barn cats, five years with my own indoor cat, and professional experience as a veterinary technician. I understand that every cat has a different personality—some want immediate affection and play, while others need patience, quiet companionship, and space to feel secure. During visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, litter-box care, play, enrichment, and veterinarian-prescribed medications when needed. My personal and veterinary experience taught me to watch closely for subtle changes in appetite, behavior, energy, grooming, and litter-box habits, including signs that may require prompt attention. I will respect your cat’s established routine and boundaries while providing dependable, attentive care. You can expect detailed updates and photos after each visit, so you can feel confident that your cat and home are being carefully looked after while you are away.

“Faith has watched our Shiba Inus multiple times now, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She’s reliable, responsive, and truly great with our dogs—even administering medication to our elderly Shiba with no issues. Most recently, she helped us out while we were in the hospital for the birth of our son. We weren’t sure how many drop-ins we’d need or how long we’d be gone, but she was incredibly flexible and quick to respond. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I love caring for cats of all personalities! I’m attentive to their individual routines and needs, whether they want playtime, cuddles, or a little space. My goal is to make every cat feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐱❤️

I work about 4 hours a day during the week (Wednesday and Friday) and I’m never gone for over 6 hours at a time while at work. Otherwise I am mostly home and only away for 1-2 hours for errands. Pets have entire first floor. My dogs usually hang out in the huge couch or in the office watching the birds (I set up feeders to entertain my bird dog and he loves it). On nice days I’ll leave the back door open for them to come in/out as they please. They have water both inside and outside the house. Dogs love sunbathing but here is also shade area all day in case they want to stay outside but out of the sun. Backyard is completely fenced.

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for about five years and have raised my dog, Scooby, since he was a puppy. My husband and I worked closely on his training, socialization, manners, and recall and he has grown into a well-behaved dog who is comfortable around other dogs and can safely enjoy off-leash activities in appropriate settings. Because I have used Rover and dog daycare services for years, I understand what pet parents are really looking for: a sitter who communicates, follows instructions, provides updates, keeps dogs active, and treats every pet with patience and care. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic commands, different personalities, and helping dogs settle into a new environment. Scooby is friendly and enjoys being around other dogs, and our home includes two attentive adults who genuinely enjoy caring for animals. I want every owner to feel confident that their dog is safe, comfortable, supervised, and receiving plenty of attention while they are away. I am currently home full-time so your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervision, playtime and care throughout the day. I am flexible and happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime schedule as closely as possible. I live in a townhome with my husband and our friendly, well-trained dog, Scooby. While we do not have a fenced yard, our community has plenty of grassy areas and walking trails nearby. I can provide walks, playtime, exercise, and mental stimulation based on your dog’s individual needs and energy level.
About: I’ve been a dog owner and caring for dogs for years, and I genuinely enjoy having them as part of my everyday life.

I have a fully fenced yard that gives dogs room to safely get outside and play throughout the day. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I understand that every dog has its own routine, so I take the time to learn about feeding schedules, medications, crate preferences, sleeping arrangements, behaviors, triggers, and anything else that helps your dog feel comfortable. Since I have dogs of my own, introductions with visiting dogs are handled carefully and interactions are supervised. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive care throughout the week, including boarding and daycare. When a dog is staying with me, they aren’t just being left somewhere while their family is away. I make time for interaction, exercise, outdoor breaks, and rest throughout the day while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. I’ll treat your dog the way I’d want someone to treat mine—with patience, attention, affection, and respect for the instructions you provide. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you can see how your dog is doing and enjoy your time away without wondering whether they’re okay.

“Ashley was great! We were here in the area traveling in our RV visiting the DC area. We wanted someone to come walk and feed Rascal so we could spend a full day exploring downtown DC and the surrounding area. Ashley covered for us every day. Rascal is not used to spending long periods of time alone so Ashley was a blessing. She fed him and took him on a long walk every visit. We felt so good to know Rascal was being cared for by Ashley. She was also flexible with our schedule. We will call on her again if we return to the DC area which is very likely next year. Our daughter has a job offer in DC next year and we will likely visit and stay in this same area.”

“Incredible dogsitter! I felt confident leaving my Rufus for two weeks over the holiday and appreciated the updates and photos. Onayda and her husband are clearly dog lovers...treated my pup like a member of the family.”
“Bianca took such wonderful care of our dog! This was our first time having a sitter and she was very reassuring and responsive. She's very communicative and made sure to plenty of take photos, which I appreciated. Her whole family made Kiki feel at home, with lots cuddles!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mary. My dog struggles with separation anxiety, so leaving her can be stressful, but she was in incredibly capable and compassionate hands. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she boards and takes the time to understand their individual needs. She was patient, attentive, and proactive in making sure my dog felt comfortable and secure. I received updates that gave me peace of mind, and it was obvious my dog was being well cared for. When I picked her up, she was calm, happy, and clearly had been treated with kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Bianca was fantastic!! From the get go she made Bailey feel welcome, comfortable and loved! She is a genuine pet lover!

I would totally recommend and would def book again. Thank you Bianca and Family!”

About: I have grown up with dogs and now I have 3 of my own! I have a pug, and 2 basset hounds. I'm experienced in all size dogs. (I previously had 2 english mastiffs that crossed the rainbow bridge) I also have chickens and ducks. I worked at a retirement community for years.. so I'm understanding and kind towards our wiser elders who made need help with their furbabies. I'm a homemaker so I'm almost always available for your pet care needs. I'm available to sit and play with them to your hearts comfort. All 3 of my dogs are inside dogs who sleep in bed with me. 🤣 Furbabies are like children to me. I truly believe they have souls and they deserve all the love in the world.
“Lovely couple with a baby and a toddler. Buffy had to warm up to Parker, their German Shepherd but I hear it went well. Tyler and wife watched Buffy on a holiday, July 4th. They were very gracious when I requested an itinerary change. I felt like they were really attuned to Buff-dog. Will definitely ask again for their assistance.Highly recommend.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! They welcomed our pup for a last-minute weekend stay and gave him such a comfortable, happy place to settle in. Their dog was a wonderful playmate, and the frequent updates and lots of photos made it easy to relax knowing he was having a great time. They were communicative throughout and incredibly accommodating as our schedule kept changing. We’re so grateful for the care and flexibility, and would happily book with them again. Highly recommend!”

“Marta has become our go-to day care provider and boarder, and we consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have found her. Our dog, Miss Charlie, has stayed with Marta approximately five times now, including the recent Thanksgiving holiday. Each time, Charlie has had a fantastic experience. This last time included a wonderfully special Thanksgiving meal featuring turkey and sweet potatoes! As an overly protective dog mom, finding someone who cares for your pup as much as you do can be challenging. However, I can confidently say that Marta loves our dog just as much as we do. We have complete trust in her, and her professional-quality pictures not only keep us informed but also make us miss our pup even more—they are so cute! If you're in search of an exceptional sitter for your pup, look no further. Marta is, without a doubt, the best choice. We highly recommend her!”
“Carlie was amazing with our puppy Sadie. It was our first time leaving her with anyone and it went so well. Lots of love to our sweet puppy and she was happy all day. Carly shared lots of pics as well. Highly recommend!”
“Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!”
