“Maurice and Kelly are simply the best. We went out of town and our beloved Biggie unfortunately had a stomach issue the first full day with Maurice and Kelly. They kept us informed of his condition throughout the day and Biggie eventually bounced back to his normal self. We were mentally prepared to end our vacation but Maurice and Kelly handled the issue smoothly. We really appreciate them and our beloved Biggie missed them a bunch.”
“Mady was great. Thank you for letting me drop Honey off early in the morning, and staying up close to midnight so that I could pick her up. You listened well to Honey’s needs, and I can tell she enjoyed herself in your big backyard. Would definitely use again.”
“Shuling was wonderful! It was my first time leaving my fur baby with her— she sent photos within a few minutes of drop-off, along with plenty of updates throughout his stay. It was clear he was happy and well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“I appreciate the care Donna provided to Chloe! She seemed to be very happy when I picked her up. I also valued how she took her time introducing her dogs to Chloe to see how their temperaments would be with one another. It also made me comfortable that there was a small group of dogs in the home during her stay. I would definitely rebook with Donna to care for Chloe!”
“Lynette and Vincent took the best care of my pup!! I took a vacation to Ghana and they put my heart at ease the entire time. They kept me updated with a steady stream of reports on my Ellis’ progress. They also gave him a home with friends that I know he’ll remember forever. I’m very grateful to them and will definitely utilize they services again. They are truly a blessing. ??????”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lindsay was absolutely amazing with my dog, Duke! From the very beginning, she was professional, responsive, and attentive to all of my questions, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Throughout Duke’s stay, she kept me updated daily with pictures and videos, and I could clearly see how happy and well cared for he was. That level of communication meant so much and truly set her apart. It’s not easy leaving your fur baby with someone, but Lindsay made the entire experience smooth and stress free. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dogsitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Duke! 🐾”
“Another stay with Carlie and we cannot recommend her enough! We always have such peace of mind with her daily updates and photos and knowing that our pup, Indi, is safe and having fun. Indi gets her own vacation when she stays here and we love knowing that our she gets to enjoy herself, too! Between Carlie's loving and kind family, the huge bonus yard, and Carlie's attention and ability to continue medicine (she even notices any behavioral changes!), we just know we've made the right choice. Do yourself a favor, and get on her schedule for your pup sitting needs! :)”
“Helen took great care of our Great Dane Zeus! Highlights of his stay include frequent updates with pictures, very clean fenced backyard and above all her warm & caring personality. We will definitely be using her services again in the future. Thank you Helen!”
“Communication with Michelle was easy. She met us at our car when we arrived and had Leia ready and out the door when we arrived to pick her up. She sent pictures each evening as well. We will use her again in the future.”
“Sabrina took great care of my doggie while we were away during Thanksgiving. My little guy had a great time and made new friends. She shared lots of pics and videos while we were away. I will schedule another visit soon.”
“This was my first experience with a dog sitter. I could not have left my dog in better hands! Lots of updates, pictures and even a video were sent to me. While I expected my dog to be a bit depressed in my absence, Alicia filled my shoes perfectly. My dog took to her and her family right away. She took my dog on lots of walks and gave her lots of cuddles ...honestly - she did more than I do. Alicia has a nice backyard in which dogs can play. I definitely will use Alicia again if I need a dog sitter.”
“Very pleased with how thoughtful and caring Katelyn and Blaze were with our dog. Katelyn provides frequent communication, photos and video. I highly recommend and will surely be back.”
“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.”
“Marta was fantastic with our 6-month-old Basset Hound, Charlie!! It was my first time ever leaving a pet with anyone and she made it so easy. I received multiple updates each day with pictures, videos and text. It was great to see him with his new friends having such a good time! When I picked Charlie up, five days later, I told her that I never worried about him the entire trip. We missed him, but knew that he was in good hands! I highly recommend Marta and will definitely take Charlie back when needed! Thank you Marta for everything!”
“I’m so thankful that I found Onayda and thankful for Rover as well. Unable to take Kenzzington on my long distant trip, I felt 100% confident that he was in great hands with Onayda. I got pictures and videos and I must say that Kenzzington was living his best life. I’m looking forward to booking with Onayda again in the near future. If you haven’t booked with her yet, then what are you waiting for??? Your pets will thank you ?.”
“Kiki is AWESOME! Our dog is on the older side and has some issues with allergies that, upon meeting for the first time, Kiki immediately noticed. I took that as a sign of empathy and caring, and felt I felt very confident leaving our dog, Rock, with her. Upon returning home, Rocky was happy, well-feed, and cared for. We HIGHLY recommend Kiki for dog sitting!!”
“Antavia was so great! Penny really had a good time and was well taken care of. I’m always nervous when I have to leave her but Antavia put my mind at ease. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Eli is the best!! I love the care he shows Skittles. I didn’t send enough food for my dog and Eli purchased more food for my furbaby!! The videos and pictures always made me feel good that my Skittles was doing just fine!! Eli will always be my first choice to sit for my dog.”
“Aaron and Tia are hands down the best ever. They are super friendly loves dogs and I can’t even thank them enough how they have helped me in last minute dog sitting but just the care they show with my dog. Trust me if you are looking for a sitter that just loves animals Aaron and Tia are your people this is my second time and they are 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ You won't go wrong”

“We had a wonderful experience with Jake, who stopped by twice to care for our three cats and did an amazing job! Communication was excellent throughout, and he was reliable, attentive, and clearly genuinely cared about our cats’ well-being. We would absolutely trust Jake again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dependable and trustworthy pet care.”
About: Cats have always held a special place in my heart. I love their unique personalities and the trust that comes with building a bond with them. During my time at PetSmart, I often spent my free moments in the adoption center socializing with the cats and helping them feel comfortable. I also have a cat of my own, Luna, whom I adopted nearly three years ago. She may be a little sassy at times, but she’s incredibly sweet and loving. Caring for cats has taught me how important patience, understanding, and attention to detail are when it comes to making them feel safe and happy. Whether your cat is playful, shy, energetic, or independent, I’ll provide personalized care and treat them like family.
About: As a fellow cat lover with a sharp mind and a great sense of humor, I know that cats are some of the smartest, funniest creatures around. That’s why I provide more than just basic care—I’ll keep your clever kitty engaged and entertained, whether they’re showing off their playful antics or enjoying a quiet moment of purring. With me as their sitter, they’ll get the attention they deserve, with a bit of witty charm thrown in to match their personality. Rest assured, your smart, funny cat will be in great hands, getting the best care and lots of love while you’re away!
“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.”
“Goldie Loves Milanni! Milanni is someone I can count on for drop-ins or boarding when I’m traveling around the world. I appreciate how easy it is to communicate with her and she confidently takes care of business without any worry. Goldie appreciates Milanni being part of her caregiving community when I am away. I recommend Milanni for your pet and caregiving needs.”
“Jessica did a great job checking in on our puppies while we are out of town. She was able to assist us with last minute request! Our pets love her and she provides timely updates and pictures on how they are doing. Jessica has become our go to provider for pet sitting and check ins.”
“Alex was fantastic and shared all the updates with our pups. She didn’t hesitate to ask questions when she thought something was off with the pups. We felt very confident that our dogs were in safe hands.”
“Mary is both thoughtful and thorough with my kitties as well as the feral cats that have taken residence on my porch. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs kitty care. :)”
About: Apart from the 9 years I was in the Navy, there has never been a time in my life where there wasn't a cat in my household. The cats we had were often my only friends, and they often display a depth of emotion, personality and intelligence that society sadly tends to dismiss. I have three senior cats of my own, so I am experienced in administering pills and supplements (I am not experienced in injections, though). All three of my cats are also harness and leash trained, and Mango knows how to open doors and lead me to exactly what he wants!

“Marta was terrific!! She sent us pictures throughout our puppy’s stay with her and even sent him home with some of her homemade treats. Definitely will be sending our puppy to her again in the future. 5/5 would recommend !”
“Our pupper enjoyed his day stay and really got to stretch his legs in such a large yard. We received regular updates and felt at ease leaving him in such capable hands.”
“Rachele was there when we most needed it! She makes it look easy, is super flexible and accommodating, and my sweet Wyatt came home happy and well exercised and excited to go back again and again. In a short period of time, Rachele became a reliable and comforting second home & caregiver for our pup. Thank you!!!”
About: I have always had a deep love for animals and understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. As a pet parent myself, I know that pets are family, and they deserve care that feels safe, loving, and personalized. My experience includes caring for dogs in a home environment, supporting daily routines, providing walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, companionship, and giving pets the patience and attention they need while their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, comfort level, habits, and care instructions so their routine feels as familiar and stress-free as possible. I am also the founder of Lovebugs & Co. Pet Care, a boutique pet care service created for pet parents who want reliable, thoughtful, and loving care. My approach is calm, attentive, and detail-oriented. I believe in clear communication, regular updates, and treating every pet with the same care and affection I would want for my own. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I currently work from home in a flexible remote environment, which allows me to be present, attentive, and available throughout the day. This makes it easy for me to provide regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, companionship, and a calm home environment. Because my schedule is flexible, I can build pet care around each pet’s normal routine and make sure they receive consistent attention and care while their family is away. Safety, trust, and comfort are very important to me. For pets cared for in my home, I provide a calm, cozy, and supervised environment where they can feel comfortable and loved. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, rest time, medication instructions if needed, and any special care notes provided by the pet parent. Before boarding, I like to learn about each pet’s personality, behavior, comfort level, triggers, and routine so I can make sure my home is a good fit. I keep the environment clean, peaceful, and secure, and I provide regular updates and photos so pet parents feel confident while they are away. For walks and drop-in visits in a client’s home, I treat the home with care and respect. I make sure pets have fresh water, food if requested, potty breaks, litter box care if needed, playtime, companionship, and a quick check of their overall comfort and behavior. I also make sure doors, gates, crates, and leashes are secure before leaving. My goal is always to provide dependable, loving care while keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on a routine that feels familiar to them.

“I recently adopted Daisey and wasn't sure how she would do in daycare. Lindsay did an excellent job of caring for her and helped Daisey to settle into a new environment and enjoy the experience. She regularly sent me updates and photos of Daisey which helped put my mind at ease. Lindsay provided excellent care and I will definitely use her services again.”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and my commitment to their well-being. I understand that each dog has unique needs and preferences, and I strive to create a personalized and comfortable experience for every furry friend in my care. With extensive knowledge about dog behavior and handling, I can ensure a safe and engaging environment during walks, playtime, and social interactions. Additionally, I am attentive to any medical or dietary requirements, providing meticulous care and timely administration of medications if needed. My reliable and responsible nature, coupled with excellent communication skills, allows me to maintain open and transparent communication with pet owners, keeping them updated with regular photos and updates. Ultimately, my dedication, expertise, and love for dogs make me a standout choice for dog sitting, ensuring that every pup receives the utmost care, attention, and affection they deserve. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I understand the importance of consistency and reliability when it comes to looking after pets. On a daily basis, I allocate specific time slots for feeding, exercise, and playtime with the dogs under my care. This ensures that they receive regular meals, get ample exercise to maintain their physical and mental well-being, and have plenty of interactive and stimulating activities to keep them engaged. I also prioritize regular walks to provide them with fresh air and opportunities for socialization. Additionally, I integrate grooming and hygiene practices into their routine, such as brushing their coats, trimming nails, and cleaning their ears and teeth as required. I make sure to stay updated on any specific instructions or preferences from pet owners, such as dietary restrictions or medication schedules, and incorporate them into the daily care routine. Overall, pet care is not just a task for me; it's a dedicated commitment that I fulfill diligently and with utmost care and attention. When caring for pets in my home, I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment for them. I ensure that the area where they stay is clean, well-maintained, and free from any potential hazards. I provide them with a cozy bed, fresh water, and appropriate toys for playtime and mental stimulation.

If there are any medications or special treatments required, I administer them on time and with proper care. When caring for pets in clients' homes, I prioritize maintaining a familiar and consistent environment for them. I follow the pet owner's instructions and routines closely to minimize any disruptions to the pet's daily life. I ensure that their feeding, exercise, and medication schedules are adhered to strictly. Additionally, I pay attention to their comfort and emotional well-being, providing them with ample attention, affection, and companionship. In both cases, I maintain open and transparent communication with pet owners, providing regular updates and photos to keep them informed and reassured about their pet's well-being.

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.
“Danielle is great with Diggy. She keeps me updated during his stay and also send pictures. I truly appreciate her in taking care of my fur baby. Thank you, Danielle and you are greatly appreciated!!!”
“If I could give Lindsay 10 STARS I would!!! If you're traveling to the Annapolis area and don't know who to trust with your most precious asset - your pup (this was me!) - choose Lindsay! As you can see from all of Lindsays reviews, she is amazing with animals - its in her heart - but what makes Lindsay stands apart is her responsiveness, her communication, her ability to work with your schedule. She is so kind, and loving towards your dog, that you can enjoy your time away with peace in your heart. Thank you for everything Lindsay! <3”
“This was my first time using a dog sitter for my very anxious dog. Sabrina was warm and welcoming and sent regular updates and pics. My dog was there for a few hours and seemed to warm up just fine. Will definitely be using Sabrina’s services again!”
“Alison was amazing! She was so quick to respond! She has a lovely fenced in yard and her pup is so friendly. That made me happy knowing my fur baby also had another fur baby to play with all day. Alison sent me videos a pictures throughout the day which made me so happy. I will definitely be using her again to watch my fur baby!”
About: My Experience I’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years and have experience with cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes. As the owner of two cats and one dog, I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and providing loving, reliable care. I’ve also cared for pets with disabilities and special needs. I’m currently a student, and pet sitting is a hobby I truly enjoy. I treat every pet like they’re my own. My classes are online so I work around your schedule. I can do weekdays and weekends, and overnight boarding. I only ask that you provide the instructions for care. When boarding at my home, I set up a special space to make all pets feel comfortable and safe. I have pets at home that are pet friendly.
“Lucy and Daniel are a great team for the best doggy daycare you could ever want/need for your dog! My dog is extremely needy and they gave him nothing but love. We look forward to next time!”
About: Hi there! My name is Stacia and I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I am a dog owner too! Remi is a 2 years old, playful, dark yellow lab. He is fixed. I’m familiar with ensuring the environment is right for your dog. I previously owned a dog with high anxiety and wasn’t friendly with strangers. I understand the importance of making sure your guidelines for your pet are followed. I can give oral medications, follow your training rules, walk large dogs, handle dogs that aren’t friendly with strangers, high anxiety, and have disabilities (ex. Deaf, blind). These dogs are our best friends so I promise to take great care of yours :) If you have any additional questions for me, please don’t hesitate to ask. I am happy to chat or meet prior to booking to ensure I am a good fit for your pup! I believe in open communication to ensure the safety of you, your pet, me and mine. I work fully remote and am able to support daycare and boarding. I usually walk my dog morning, mid day and evening for 30 min to an hour at a time. I’d like to be able to support other people who need assistance. During the week your dog won’t be left alone for more than an hour depending on drop off and pick up time. During the weekend your dog won’t be left longer than 3-4 hours depending. We can always communicate your dogs specific needs to accommodate! I have a fenced yard in our home and a friendly, playful 2 year old male lab (fixed). If your dog is in my home, they do need to be friendly with other dogs. This is to ensure the safety of my dog and if I am boarding or hosting daycare for another dog. During the week I do work full time so there are times where I am in meetings so it is preferred your dog is not destructive, okay without supervision, or is okay in a crate or enclosed room. I communicate my anticipated work schedule and plan for the day with the pet owner.

“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.”

“Was searching for a walker very last minute and I could not have been luckier to have been able to get Jake to care for my dog! I felt so secure and comfortable with him in his care and he was so responsive and kind, and I will surely be looking him up well in advance of my next trip so I have a good chance of being able to have him walk my little guy again! Thank you so very much, Jake!!!”
“Jessica has been wonderful! I needed help on short notice for my energetic Staffy/Lab mix while I worked overnight shifts, and she exceeded my expectations. She was great with my dog from the very first meet and greet, and clearly has experience handling larger, high-energy dogs. She provided a full 30 minute walk, updates with photos, notes about the visit, and even tracked potty breaks and checked her water. Knowing my dog was getting exercise and attention in the middle of my 12 hour shift made a huge difference and greatly reduced my stress. Jessica has been reliable, professional, communicative, and caring. My dog absolutely loves her, and I feel completely comfortable having her care for my pet. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced dog walker!”
“Aleah is the BEST! She responded so quickly, she asked super thoughtful questions about how to provide the best car for my dogs, shes so sweet and was so helpful, and she took really great care of my dogs! Absolutely will be hiring her again in the future and I highly recommend her, she’ll take the best care of your pets :)”
“Zaynah has been a blessing. I just had surgery and can’t walk Lemmie right now. Lemmie took an instant liking to Zaynah. She does a great jobs, is extremely punctual and polite. Lemmie loves her and has the biggest smile after their walks. I highly recommend Zaynah!”

I walk the dogs, feed them, play with them, I do take them on car rides etc to make sure they’re happy and healthy. Dogs say I have a good sense of humor they really warm up to me. I’m currently working as a babysitter part-time so I have lots of time on my hands to help watch the little and big dogs and play with them and watch them for families who are going away. I go to many peoples homes to babysit who have dogs and I treat them like my own. I have have a dog myself and will treat the dog as if it was my own and take it on lots of walks and make sure the water is filled and the food is filled as well and make sure everything is done for their routine.
“I couldn't ask for a better person to walk my pup Ollie. This was our first time trying out Rover so we didn't know what to expect and Erick gave us comfort the first day we've met him. 10/10, very patient and communicates quick when we have a question about anything relating to Ollie.”

I make sure pets have fresh water, food if requested, potty breaks, litter box care if needed, playtime, companionship, and a quick check of their overall comfort and behavior. I also make sure doors, gates, crates, and leashes are secure before leaving. My goal is always to provide dependable, loving care while keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on a routine that feels familiar to them.
“Maddie is simply great. Kind and sweet to our elderly dog, Fizz. Taking care of her is a bit of a challenge and Maddie is on it with her meds and IBD issues and special food requirements. Thank you, Maddie.”
About: I was an owner of a 8yr old Cane Corso who has now passed away from bone cancer. She has had 2 litters whom I cared for. 7 puppies each litter for 8 weeks was such an amazing experience! We have 4 sons and she was always attached to our 3rd son’s hip. We also rescued a beautiful cat, Misaki, who is now 1 1/2. My youngest son begged us for her and she has claimed me. She is the most sweetest thing and loves to cuddle. She follows me everywhere which we should have named her Shadow. If I could bring all the animals into my home I truly would! Myself and my youngest boys ages 16 & 15 would love to care for your animals as we would our own! We now have Briahs grandson Deuce is now 1 1/2 and is huge and a ball of fun! I’m currently a homeschool mom for I’m very flexible. I work part time but I’m available at anytime. I will make sure your babies are well taken care of! I am available three times a day for services and anytime you need your babies needs met. If they need play time we can do that or even just a belly rub after dinner :)
About: I have taken care of an English mastiff for over 8 years, two bulldog puppies, and an Irish setter for several years of my life. I am available to watch pets over Christmas, as well as the week of march 10th. Lastly I get out of school starting may 5th, so I am available everyday after. My dogs are currently puppies so I am potty training them, training them to understand basic commands, and helping them learn social skills outside home
About: Hello Furry Friends and Owners! I’m Emme! I’m a 23 year old grad student with a love for anything with four legs! I’m new to NYC but I’m not new to pet care. I started my journey with the SPCA in 2021 where I began my track in veterinary medicine, I continued at a cat cafe and became a volunteer specializing in cat care. I don’t study veterinary medicine anymore, instead I found my passion working with service animals and people with special needs! I still have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own and I’m an absolute sucker for watching speciality breeds I’ve never seen before. Although I don’t have many reviews on this platform- I’ve been running a pet care business solo for almost 3 years now and I’m always willing to provide further references! I look forward to meeting you and your pets as I start to walk around the city! Although I am a grad student. I have a lot of time during the day to watch animals. I just moved to the city and don’t have much else to do so I’m excited to spoil your pets with as much attention as they need while I have the time! I like to keep animals occupied! Based on the owners guidelines, I will keep the animal on their schedule, frequent walks, and lots of socializing if they need it (with people or other dogs if it is preferable). I enjoy giving the animals extra attention since they are away from their people so they feel more welcome. I like to stick to owners guidelines and provide extra stimulation to the animals that need it.
About: I'm an animal lover who's grown up with multiple family members who owned dogs and have had my own German Shepherd for years since puppyhood! Well versed in caring for, walking, and enjoying company of pets. I'm a college student currently working part-time and studying for the LSAT, so I have a fairly flexible schedule that can work well for you! My approach would be to try to provide structure to the animals while following the rules and preferences of the clients. I've found my own dog is the happiest when provided efficient stimulation, so I would want to provide that for any pets I was sitting.

“Mady was great. Thank you for letting me drop Honey off early in the morning, and staying up close to midnight so that I could pick her up. You listened well to Honey’s needs, and I can tell she enjoyed herself in your big backyard. Would definitely use again.”
“I appreciate the care Donna provided to Chloe! She seemed to be very happy when I picked her up. I also valued how she took her time introducing her dogs to Chloe to see how their temperaments would be with one another. It also made me comfortable that there was a small group of dogs in the home during her stay. I would definitely rebook with Donna to care for Chloe!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lindsay was absolutely amazing with my dog, Duke! From the very beginning, she was professional, responsive, and attentive to all of my questions, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Throughout Duke’s stay, she kept me updated daily with pictures and videos, and I could clearly see how happy and well cared for he was. That level of communication meant so much and truly set her apart. It’s not easy leaving your fur baby with someone, but Lindsay made the entire experience smooth and stress free. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dogsitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Duke! 🐾”
“Another stay with Carlie and we cannot recommend her enough! We always have such peace of mind with her daily updates and photos and knowing that our pup, Indi, is safe and having fun. Indi gets her own vacation when she stays here and we love knowing that our she gets to enjoy herself, too! Between Carlie's loving and kind family, the huge bonus yard, and Carlie's attention and ability to continue medicine (she even notices any behavioral changes!), we just know we've made the right choice. Do yourself a favor, and get on her schedule for your pup sitting needs! :)”
“Helen took great care of our Great Dane Zeus! Highlights of his stay include frequent updates with pictures, very clean fenced backyard and above all her warm & caring personality. We will definitely be using her services again in the future. Thank you Helen!”
“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.”
“Marta was fantastic with our 6-month-old Basset Hound, Charlie!! It was my first time ever leaving a pet with anyone and she made it so easy. I received multiple updates each day with pictures, videos and text. It was great to see him with his new friends having such a good time! When I picked Charlie up, five days later, I told her that I never worried about him the entire trip. We missed him, but knew that he was in good hands! I highly recommend Marta and will definitely take Charlie back when needed! Thank you Marta for everything!”
“I’m so thankful that I found Onayda and thankful for Rover as well. Unable to take Kenzzington on my long distant trip, I felt 100% confident that he was in great hands with Onayda. I got pictures and videos and I must say that Kenzzington was living his best life. I’m looking forward to booking with Onayda again in the near future. If you haven’t booked with her yet, then what are you waiting for??? Your pets will thank you ?.”
“Kiki is AWESOME! Our dog is on the older side and has some issues with allergies that, upon meeting for the first time, Kiki immediately noticed. I took that as a sign of empathy and caring, and felt I felt very confident leaving our dog, Rock, with her. Upon returning home, Rocky was happy, well-feed, and cared for. We HIGHLY recommend Kiki for dog sitting!!”
“Antavia was so great! Penny really had a good time and was well taken care of. I’m always nervous when I have to leave her but Antavia put my mind at ease. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Aaron and Tia are hands down the best ever. They are super friendly loves dogs and I can’t even thank them enough how they have helped me in last minute dog sitting but just the care they show with my dog. Trust me if you are looking for a sitter that just loves animals Aaron and Tia are your people this is my second time and they are 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ You won't go wrong”
“Yukia did a fantastic job with our dog, Sammy! Communication regarding pickup and drop off was excellent and we got some pictures of Sammy on a regular basis. Would definitely book with Yukia again!”
“Michelle was so amazing, and I can’t recommend her enough! She sent me a few sweet pics of my cat every day, along with a description of what he’d been up to. She went above and beyond playing with him and spending time with him, and I will definitely be booking her again!”
“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.”
“Would 100% recommend Christina she made my baby boy feel comfortable and safe. He had such a great time I could tell from all the pictures and especially when I picked him up. He’s only 7 months old, still potty training, a picky eater and this was my first time leaving him with anyone else so I was EXTREMELY worried but Christina took such great care of him, ensured he was comfy at night time and could sleep well and he didn’t miss a meal which is amazing as sometimes he refuses to eat. Thank you so much Christina!”
“Branden did a wonderful job keeping my Siberian husky (Kobe) for a weekend. he forwarded photo updates to me while I was out of town. upon pickup, Kobe was his usual self, very energetic and tail happily wagging. if available, i plan to book Branden again in the future...”
“Mark and his family were an absolute pleasure to work with. Gianni and Milan have never been so happy upon their return. Mark paid very close attention to each dogs needs and personality. He was extremely observant and attentive when explaining their daily routine. You can always tell how well cared for your fur babies are while they are there and when they return. He mad sure to send daily updates and some AMAZING pics of our dogs. We can’t event get them to smile that much lol will definitely use his services again for sure!”
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.
