Dolly has stayed with Jennifer before - and just now for 2 weeks and I will fly up from Florida for Dolly to stay with Jennifer and Louis when my family and I travel Internationally in October. Jennifer communicates, send pictures and keeps us informed. We love Jennifer and Dolly is always happy to see her and Louis.”

We can’t say enough nice things and we highly recommend Francise and look forward to having Winnie stay with Francise again!”

“⸻ I couldn’t be more grateful for Dena and the amazing care she gave my dog, Chewie! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt at ease knowing he was in good hands. She treated him like he was her own—giving him tons of love, attention, and making sure he was comfortable the whole time. What really stood out to me was how she kept me updated every step of the way with messages and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I highly recommend Dena to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind, and truly dedicated to caring for your furry family member. Thank you again, Dena!”
“Karen was the perfect choice for our senior dog, Cody. She replied quickly to our request for a meet and greet, and Cody took to her immediately! We dropped Cody off as we headed out to town for a week and he was happy to be with her. She gave him his daily meds, supplemented his food with the treats we requested, and sent us multiple photos and updates daily. We knew he was in good hands so we were able to enjoy our trip without any concerns for his care. We will use Karen again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Deborah and Justin took great care of Louis while I was on vacation for Labor Day weekend! I felt very comfortable and knew Louis was being well taken care of and getting lots of attention! Lucky for me, they also live close by so I will definitely be asking them to watch Louis again when I go away! Thank you, Deborah and Justin! 💕”

“Julie is so lovely and takes such good care of my two kitties! She is communicative and thoughtful with her updates and pictures and gave my old guy extra TLC when he was recovering from some health issues while I was away. I knew they were in great hands and could breathe easy knowing she was there❤️”
“Shannon was fantastic! She took such good care of my two cats while I was away. I really appreciated the thorough updates she provided - it helped to give me peace of mind while I was away from my fur babies. I definitely recommend Shannon to anyone in need of a cat sitter !”
“Shane took excellent care of Frye! He only had to drop in to see her but I could tell he spent time with her, gave her plenty of love and made sure they played with the laser pointer too! It was a comfort to have him looking after her.”
“I can’t say enough about how great Abbey was! I had a last minute booking and a very nervous cat. She sent lots of pictures and really communicated well. Cleo really bonded with her and it gave me great peace of mind while I was away.”
“Nicollette took amazing care of our cat while we were away. She was able to accommodate a last minute booking which saved our trip, and we returned to a happy healthy cat. Thanks, Nicollette!!”
“We had an amazing experience with Megan. She took such great care of our three high-needs cats, which is no easy task. From the start, it was clear she was attentive, patient, and genuinely cared about their well-being. What really stood out was how quickly our cats warmed up to her—they’re usually a bit selective with new people, but they took to her right away and were even giving her snuggles. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were not only well cared for with feeding times and individual play sessions, but also happy and comfortable. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Byul has been heaven sent. An unexpected trip came up at the last minute over the Memorial Day holiday. My previously vetted sitters were unavailable. Byul came to the rescue. She accepted the last minute assignment and took charge. My cat Cashmere was in completely caring and professional hands. I'm so grateful for the service she provided for me and Cashmere.”
“Mandy was wonderful! She took great care of my dog and cat, was very communicative, and made me feel very comfortable leaving them in her care! I would definitely recommend Mandy to anyone!”
About: A lifelong cat owner, I have 2 cats of my own and I know how important it is to feel confident you're leaving your cats in good hands while you're away. I offer cat-only care. From feeding and scooping litter, to playing, or just hanging out quietly, I'll make sure your fur babies are happy and well taken care of (with plenty of photos and updates for you). Also happy to take of other little tasks, like bringing in mail or newspapers, or watering plants.
“Emma is a fantastic sitter! She is very communicative, flexible, and caring. She got my shy kitty to warm up to her almost immediately. Looking forward to future bookings - thank you for everything!”
“Rachel was great, and really chill and accommodating about the cats' ridiculous 3-separate-diets shenanigans. She even noticed our little runt's tendency to eat more if hand-fed her kibble, and took some extra time to do that to make sure she ate enough. Thank you!”
“Laura was AMAZING. This was my first time leaving my cat Dublin with a sitter so I was quite nervous. Laura was great with Dublin, she was communicative and sent pictures. There was so point on my trip where I felt stressed or worried about Dublin as I knew Laura was handling things! 100/10 review. Thank you Laura!!!”
“Liza was so great with the cats while I was away. She was super responsive and sent some of the best pictures of my cat Theo I have ever seen (and he’s a squirmer)! Getting into my building while I’m away is a bit difficult, but Liza was so great about setting the access keys up ahead of time. I will definitely be using her to watch the cats again!”
“Andrea has been amazing! The dogs love her. She is very responsive and gives great updates in her visit details. She was willing to stop by ahead of our first scheduled drop-in to meet the pups. I’ve rebooked with her and plan to continue!”

“Jen and Louis saved the day and came through for me and my chiweenie Willar when I really needed a sitter who understands my senior pup's needs. Willar has dietary restrictions and some quirks, and Jen was attentive, followed all the instructions for Willar's routine, and she asked very thoughtful questions. Additionally, her dog Louis is so welcoming and sweet. They really helped with some transitions I'm going through and were very accommodating.”
“This was a last minute stay & my family was very impressed with the customer service, communication and experience. We felt safe leaving him for the day.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Megan. She really went above and beyond for Ollie and it shows. He crashed every time he came home which shows just how much play he got at Megan’s. We will definitely be back!”
“I always get nervous leaving my 1 year old pup with someone new, but Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all my expectations. I could tell immediately that she’s a dog person, and she sent me tons of updates throughout the day. I’m so grateful for her and will be booking again next time I need daycare!”
“We had an amazing experience! Fabulous communication, a wonderful setting for dogs to play, and one successfully exhausted pup. Thank you so much for welcoming Poppy into your community.”
“Russ and Andra are excellent dog sitters! They are very reliable and treat our dog like one of their own. They always send cute pictures and videos of our pup running around, playing, and relaxing. Our pup Twyla has the best time when she visits Russ and Andra!”

Even though you just watched him few times this week. Titus already loves you we been blessed to have great sitters each duty station and we are blessed once more. Thank you again!!!”
About: Hi there! I’m Grant - my wife and I are huge dog lovers. In April of 2025, we lost our first dog, Moose, a 90lb golden retriever mix. To honor his memory, we began a fostering journey. We successfully fostered out 5 dogs (3 of them seniors) to their forever homes over the next year (including the 5th one, who became our own!). We are aquatinted with all kinds and sizes with dogs. It’s been an honor to get to know each one and explore their unique personalities! We currently have 2 dogs of our own at home: Ellie, a 3yo petite Great Pyrenees, and Charlie, a 2yo Australian Shepherd. They LIVE for playing with other dogs - we’d love to host your pup and provide them a happy, fun, safe space to stay while you are away. Do you have a big dog? Are you anxious about it pulling your dog walker? I’ve got experience with large dogs pulling and I can handle yours. I will give them the distance and space they need to have a happy and safe walk. I get anxious when we have others look after our dogs. Anything could happen. Know that I will bring every bit of care and safety to your dog that I bring to mine every day. They’re valuable members of your family and I will treat them as such. Please reach out with any questions. Thank you! I work from home when I am not traveling for work, so am fairly flexible during the day and week. Just let me know the time and we’ll see if it works! My own dog is like my child. I know that you feel the same way about yours. I will follow all instructions to a T. I am passionate about safety about my own dog - I will bring that level of care to you.
“Kasey made me AND Pinot feel so at ease! She was so enjoyable to communicate and work with. Very detailed and thorough in her updates and overall a genuine and caring person! Thank you for having Pinot.”
“Katie is great! This was Mochi’s first time being around other dogs for this amount of time and she definitely put my mind at ease with of all the pictures she sent. Mochi had a great time and will definitely be seeing Katie and Henry soon!”
“Abigail and Cole were absolutely wonderful with our pup. They are friendly, communicative, and clearly treated our dog like their own. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup and felt at ease the entire time knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Abigail and Cole to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet sitters!”
“I’m so grateful for Matt! Our rescue foster Garnet is a bit of a handful and is still learning what it’s like to be in a loving home. I was totally upfront with daycare providers about this, and Matt was one of the few who was both able and willing to give Garnet a chance. Matt was amazing. Garnet had a blast and came home happily exhausted. Matt sent pics and updates throughout the day and was flexible with our schedule. His backyard is safe and secure, which was a must-have for us. You can tell Matt’s a kind, experienced dog person—he was calm and patient during the initial meet-and-greet with his pup (way more than I was!). We’re really hoping to work with Matt regularly going forward. Can’t thank him enough!”
“We were so happy with the care they provided. I loved the updates and photos and even though I made a mistake and booked the wrong dates Eduardo was able to accommodate the change in time/dates. We will trust them with our puppy in the future and highly recommend them”
“Kamryn was great with my large breed dog! She was super responsive and we did a meet and greet before she kept him for the day. I picked him up happy and tail wagging!”
“Brian and Andrew took great care of our girl! Our pup was a little nervous being in a new place, but Brian and Andrew were so patient and she quickly felt right at home! They sent lots of photos and updates. Their pup Naomi is so sweet and playful. We picked up a very happy girl! Our dog Twyla is excited for her next visit!”
“You guys were a life saver, I must admit I was a bit nervous as this was a first time using Rover. But Natalie and Bryce made me at ease for the moment we met. Now let’s get into Dutch :) we had a time getting in the truck as he was still trying to follow you guys!!! That tells me he really enjoyed the care you provided. Thank you thank you soooo much!! We would definitely use you guys again!!!!!!!”
“Ferby is in the very best of hands with Mike and Erin! He has been in their care since March and is a happy pup when I pick him up from daycare each afternoon. They are kind and flexible about drop-off and pick-up times with my crazy school schedule!”

He was patient with my initially skeptical dog and Obi has come to trust him and enjoys their walks! I recommend Nathan's services if you are looking for a dog walker or other support with your dog.”
“Hilary did a great job taking care of Mona while we were away. Communication was excellent, she was reliable, and it was clear Mona was comfortable and happy in her care. Mona is 17 and has a few extra needs, including medication, and Hilary handled everything perfectly. We came home to a happy dog and had complete peace of mind while we were gone. We’d absolutely book with her again.”

“Nicollette was amazing with our dog Luna. Luna has a lot of anxiety and Nicollette knew exactly how to help put her at ease. Eventually Luna needed a break due to anxiety, but Nicollette was very understanding and treated her so well. There were a couple of times when Luna did not want to be walked, and Nicollette just gave her yard time and time to get to know each other. I think it really helped!”
About: I have 2 cats of my own and have had dogs, cats, pigs, cows, chickens, and just about any other farm animal (i lived on a farm growing up). I am very comfortable taking care of any dog, any size. We had Bernese Mountain Dogs, Rottweilers, and Corgis! So I have experience with just about every size of pup. I am a 2nd grade teacher on summer break so I have plenty of spare time to take care of your fur babies! I am typically available between the hours of 8am-4pm. I can accommodate my schedule to your needs so do not hesitate to reach out! :) I live in an apartment with two cats. They are both extremely friendly and love other pets to play with! I live in Alexandria with plenty of dog parks and trails nearby to go for walks!
About: My partner and I both had small to large dogs in our families since we were children. For the past several years, we've dogsat all sizes and ages for our friends and clients. Having a dog ourselves, we understand the needs and mindset of a dog. We believe in daily mental and physical stimulation. This can include sniffmats, food puzzles, tug, training, chase, fetch, walks, hikes, jogs, and more. If your dog loves to play and be active, we're the sitters for you. A typical day is: early morning walk/outdoor play, breakfast, lunchtime walk/outdoor play, evening dinner, night time walk. On weekends, we may find a local hike to enjoy. We have a large, secluded, unfenced backyard that's fun for the dogs to run around or bask in the sun on a long leash or offleash if trained. Our dog sleeps in a crate and uses his crate whenever he wants some "me time." He is so friendly and great about sharing his toys, but he will steal a toy to entice play. To be respectful of our neighbors, we kindly ask for non-excessive barker guests.
“Brittani has been walking my dog Denim this past week, and I honestly couldn’t be happier. Returning to the office has been a huge adjustment for both me and Denim since she struggles with separation anxiety, but Brittani has been so patient, kind, communicative, and reliable throughout the transition. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with, and that peace of mind means everything to me. Really grateful we found her, and Denim is too 🐾”
“Samantha was great with my pups, appreciated the communication after the walks and the photos shared of their walk. My pups are very shy, so appreciate her patience to let them warm up to her and spending time for pets and cuddles.”
“Emily was outstanding! The pups were always happy to see her and she always maintained great communication. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a caring and responsible petsitter.”
“Carolina worked with me to find a walk time that worked for both of us and she is really good with my pup, forcing him to use his his manners. She was on time and did everything I asked. Definitely recommend her as a walker!”
